In this episode of the Elevate Podcast, host Ryan Castle talks with architect Natasha Markham and builder Ross Faulkner. Natasha Markham is a registered architect, urban designer, and founder of MAUD (Markham Architecture + Urban Design). The Auckland-based practice is a boutique studio specialising in well-crafted residential and commercial architecture and offers urban design services to projects at all scales. Ross Faulkner is the Director of Faulkner Construction, a family-owned and operated construction company that has been building dream homes for over 35 years.

They discuss their experiences in the construction industry, including a collaborative project on Natasha's own home. Together, they won the regional Supreme Renovation Over $1.5 million award at House of the Year for a Victorian villa in Freemans Bay. They worked together to transform it into a contemporary family home while preserving its heritage charm. The renovation involved restoring original features, incorporating sustainable practices, and creating a functional layout that caters to the needs of a modern family.

The conversation covers the importance of open dialogue in design and construction, and the role of sustainability in their work. Natasha and Ross also share their joy at receiving recognition for their project, share advice for those starting their construction journey and how listeners can connect with them.

This  podcast is a 30 minute history lesson.  

When you listen, you'll hear stories about Black entrepreneurs who lived in  1800s, 1900s and 20th century that will make your jaw drop.  That's because William F. Pickard, Ph.D.  qualifies to be a part of this series for two reasons.  He's a very successful Black business owner  with more than 50 years of experience that includes owning a McDonald's franchise, a casino co-owner and being a parts supplier to major car manufacturers in Detroit, MI.  He's also a researcher and his field of choice is Black business history.  

He's a great story teller and  shares facts most people have never heard. 

He spends a little more than 30 minutes describing what Black people did about banking - in the days before white owned financial institutions would accept their business.  He tells a fascinating tale about the family of Horace L. King, a Black builder who started constructing bridges while enslaved.  He also explains why there were devastating financial penalties attached to several Black industries after integration swept the nation. 

Along the way he drops hints to the fact that he's a billionaire.  But he's one who is committed to Black business development and has backed that belief with his dollars.  

However,  it's probably the final story of the podcast that may stick with you the longest.  Dr. Pickard talks about how the  Negro Education Association in Georgia,   made all Black schools teach civics and political science classes - in 1920.  He doesn't say it.  But listeners will understand that a 20-year-old person taking one of those courses that year, wouldn't be able to apply what was learned - until 1964.  If that doesn't make sense to you - listen to the podcast.  It will.   You'll also see why it's a privilege and is of incredible value to have a gifted successful and articulate person,  show such passion for Black business history.

On July 24, 1847, a company of early Latter-day Saint pioneers piloted their way into the Salt Lake Valley. The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young looked upon the valley and was said to declare, “This is the right place; drive on.” These early pioneers were joined by Latter-day Saints from around the world. Near the location where Brigham Young gave this prophetic declaration now stands “This Is The Place Heritage Park,” a Utah state park populated with historical homes, dedicated monuments and interactive exhibits to help individuals and families explore the early history of the Salt Lake Valley. This episode of the Church News podcast — released near the anniversary of the pioneers’ entrance into the valley — explores history, heritage and faith with Ellis Ivory, the executive director of “This Is The Place Heritage Park.” 

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

In part 2 of this message we are introduced to God as the master architect, who has a master plan - for his Kingdom be be extended and established on earth. How does he choose to do this? Through his people, the Church. We therefore learn that God's plan for our lives is never independent of the Church. Actually we can only fully outwork his plan for our life in the context of church, because it's the church that is his master plan. When we realise what the church is (which we find in the book of Ephesians), and who fills it, it stops being something that we attend. It starts to become part of our everyday lives, as we see His Kingdom established.

KEY QUOTES FROM EPISODE

• I think that's something that Frank Lloyd Wright really had down. He created from the inside out as opposed to the outside in. And I think you have to be, you have to burn that candle at both ends at the same time. Because if you're thinking about architecture without the end goal of the design, or you're thinking about design without encompassing the architecture – you're going to run into a mismatch in the center. And I see that constantly with almost every home.
• I don't teach them how to design, I teach them how to run a business. That's the thing that I like to impart on the younger generation is what it takes to actually serve your clients and serve an industry and serve a community. And I think that that's the thing that I think is the most important part to impart to to the new generation is actually how to serve.
• Nothing's easy. You know, in one of my lectures in how to succeed in design, I say it takes a lot of hard work to have an easy life. It's very easy to have a difficult life. And I think that's true with in any situation it's. It takes a lot of work to discipline yourself. It takes a lot of work to be kind when someone is shouting out the exact opposite of what you believe in. And yet to still be kind, it takes discipline. We're human.

This episode contains discussion about suicide. Welcome to Episode 17 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Our guest is Lauren Fahey, Changemaker, mother, and General Manager of The National Association of Women in Construction.

Women make up only 13% of the construction workforce in Australia and it’s seriously harming the industry. Lauren shares her unique insight and busts some long-held myths and perceptions about the industry, about gender stereotyping, and on some super obvious simple things the industry could to do make all humans feel included.

Lauren believes that education is the key to the cultural and societal shift which will challenge our unconscious biases, and empower organisational leaders to role model positive behaviours and turn policy into action.Make way folks! Construction is ready for all of the people.
