Episode 12: Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold
Discusses Starting a New Business
We all know Kevin loves people who put themselves out there. He won’t pass up a chance to talk with someone who is doing new things and not playing it safe. He also values people doing it the right way, with attention paid to detail and focus on an individual’s strengths.
Architect Matthew Arnold has been a familiar face in the homebuilding community. Recently, Kevin had a conversation with him where he shared that he left a firm he had been with for 15 years, to strike out on his own. His new business is called ArnoldAnd.
We thought he’d be a great podcast guest and were excited to get to know him better. Little did we know that Matthew’s dad, Les Arnold, was an audio engineer for the likes of Aerosmith and Boston. Matthew discusses the impact that his father’s work had on him and how music plays a role in his life. We also get into what influence from some of his favorite bands, such as Phish, have on the way he views his work.
Matthew made the bold move to hang his own shingle after an inspirational trip, with the full support of his wife. Kevin helps him answer questions about growth, staffing, timing and goals in this lively conversation.
