Byron Risdon on the luxury of slowing down

Episode Summary

During the early days of his career, Byron Risdon was a one-man show. As his firm navigates the road to growth, he’s taking on new team members and a new office space—and all the while, learning that stepping back from the day-to-day is the only path forward.

Episode Notes

Byron Risdon has always known how to rise to the occasion—whether it was landing his first design job with no prior experience, or launching his business in a week’s time to take on his first solo project. Now, as he grows his firm, he’s letting go of the guilt that comes with no longer working overtime, and is instead learning to embrace the art of slowing down.
