    Industry Leaders EP24 with James Kelly
    Oct 16 2026
    Episode SummaryHost Seton Walsh-Rose is joined by James Kelly, Co-Managing Partner at CHC (ClarkeHopkinsClarke) and leader of its national Seniors Living & Care team. James grew up just outside Geelong, spent almost a decade under pioneering architect Yvonne von Hartel, then joined CHC to help build its aged care practice, becoming a partner just after 30.Together they explore why CHC believes business isn’t just for business, from B Corp certification and measuring impact to how AI will reshape design fees and graduate training. James also makes the case for designing against ageism, and explains why older Australians are central to solving the housing crisis.Episode Chapters00:10 Welcome00:34 About CHC02:35 Early love of architecture03:05 Peck von Hartel and Yvonne von Hartel03:40 Joining CHC04:20 Partner after 3004:52 Co-managing partner05:20 Growing to 210 people06:45 You have to believe in something07:39 Medium-scale projects, long-term people08:22 Talent across states10:42 Giving back12:31 Measuring impact13:43 B Corp is not a stamp14:57 Purpose in the interview room15:54 AI and sustainability17:30 Cash is king18:32 Design rationalisation20:33 No ego in design21:50 Good passive design costs no more23:00 Design business in 203623:53 Where AI will change the fee24:51 Paper to CAD to BIM to AI25:59 Toilet partitions for five years27:08 Hiring for aptitude and values27:50 AI and the graduate QA problem28:16 Learning from peers29:12 From diamond to square30:37 Victoria’s resilience31:25 Sydney and feasibility32:29 State by state34:41 Lessons from the 1990s recession35:12 Choosing sectors you believe in36:27 Strategy isn’t set and forget38:57 Why seniors living39:37 Find what you’re passionate about40:05 Fighting ageism through design40:44 Ageing and the housing crisis44:31 An ageing nation45:44 Dementia and brain health46:40 A national conversation on ageing49:04 No single solution49:56 Intergenerational models51:04 Aged care front and centre52:42 Wrap-up53:07 Seton’s reflectionKey TakeawaysBusiness isn’t just for businessProve your purpose.Purpose attracts talent.Stability is a strategyLeave your ego at the door.Good design needn’t cost moreAI will move the fee forward.Graduates still learn from people.Sound Bites / Quotes:“Business is not just for business.

    Industry Leaders EP23 with Miranda Sheehan
    Oct 9 2026
    Episode Overview:Miranda Sheehan has been at PDT Architects for close to thirty years, and the Brisbane firm itself has been going for eighty-eight — six generations of ownership, in a profession where most practices do not outlast their founders. She is one of three directors who deliberately chose not to appoint a managing director. She tells host Seton Walsh-Rose what buying equity at twenty-six actually cost her, why coming back from her third baby meant eight to ten years of digging the business out of trouble, and why she would not change any of it.Chapters:00:10 Welcome — Miranda and PDT Architects00:56 Everything apart from a brewery03:46 Why most firms decline and this one didn’t04:06 Six generations and the real origin story05:13 Thirty people to a hundred and forty07:02 Three directors, no managing director09:39 Three new Queensland bases11:29 Growing without getting too big12:03 Remote before it was normal14:03 Letting the team design the post-COVID model15:18 It all comes down to trust19:03 Succession runs from student to director21:06 Where the industry loses women22:25 Three boys and the juggle23:55 What would Ruth say?25:24 Resilience, guilt and not being your best self29:34 When PDT had no women but the receptionist32:32 The other side of equity33:45 Coming back from maternity leave into a crisis34:47 Six or seven years to get out of that spot39:43 Why women leave architecture and construction41:05 How shareholding actually works at PDT42:14 Shares are worth what someone will pay45:08 Making buy-in work for the next generation47:38 Queensland’s moment49:38 AI and “they think we draw pretty pictures”50:30 Clients arriving with a ChatGPT render53:16 Sketching again, an AI policy, a secure environment54:25 Monthly updates and the creative workshop57:03 An introvert on the networking circuit58:32 The forced football conversation1:01:08 Five to twelve meetings before a fee request1:03:51 Your network is your real value1:04:42 Good Hang, Utopia, and laughing at the industryKey Takeaways:Succession is the whole business, not the exit.Buy in for the business, not the payout.A shareholders agreement sets the rules, not the price.Recovery takes years, and effort doesn’t compress it.Flexibility is a trust question, not a policy question.Three directors, no managing director, equal pay.Sound Bites / Quotes:“It all comes down to trust. And if we’re hiring these people, we should be able to trust them. And if we can’t trust them, they shouldn’t be working for us anyway.” — Miranda Sheehan, ~15:18Connect and Follow Miranda SheehanLinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirandasheehan/⁠Website: ⁠https://www.pdt.com.au/⁠References & Resources:Lange Powell — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lange_PowellTim O’Donnell— https://www.pdt.com.au/post/meet-our-in-house-heritage-architectIan Downing, PDT Architects — https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-downing-3b55a346/Indooroopilly Shopping Centre — https://pdt.com.au/projects-retail/indooroopilly-shopping-centreNAWIC— https://www.nawic.com.au/BVN — https://www.bvn.com.au/article/100-years-of-collective-creativityProperty Council of Australia — https://www.propertycouncil.com.au/Microsoft Copilot — https://copilot.microsoft.com/ChatGPT — https://chatgpt.com/Good Hang with Amy Poehler — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Hang_with_Amy_PoehlerUtopia — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(Australian_TV_series)The IT Crowd — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IT_CrowdLET’S BE Inspired📸 ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/beinspiredcommunity/⁠⁠📱⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/beinspiredpodcast⁠⁠📸⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/beconnected_podcast/⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5DbuoR8Ztq3sGYa5rrKzq7⁠⁠🔗https://www.youtube.com/@BEInspiredPodcast🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@beconnectedpodcast🌍My website - ⁠⁠https://be-inspired.net

    Industry Leaders EP22 with Jess Noonan
    Sep 4 2026
    Episode Summary:Jess Noonan never meant to be a town planner — she wanted to be a nurse, or an accountant. Twenty years on she is a Senior Principal at Tract, co-hosts the PlanningXChange podcast, and tells host Seton Walsh-Rose that Victoria's planning system has been reshaped in four or five years. Her verdict is mixed: rezoning land is not the same as building housing, and while roughly a dozen taxes erode feasibility, the homes do not follow the zoning.Chapters00:11 Episode introduction02:38 Not the usual planner origin story03:11 The thread her father spotted04:11 Planning began as a health problem05:13 From Bendigo to Melbourne05:32 Industry involvement as a social crutch05:54 A cadetship on census boundaries07:27 The colleague who opened the door07:47 Ten to fifteen years with the Institute08:26 Why getting involved matters09:18 Access to decision makers10:30 "What is a podcast?"10:52 Recording into the void12:22 One microphone on the corner of a table13:19 The path to Tract13:55 An industry that used to be static15:32 What the reform is trying to fix16:20 Bold policy, faster decisions16:45 Planning moves to centre stage17:24 Centralisation of power18:00 Code assessment arrives in Victoria19:23 Queensland's giant LGAs20:33 Pros and cons of a bigger LGA22:12 Population growth as the lever22:38 Economic development as an approval pathway25:13 Feasibility is still broken25:33 Roughly a dozen taxes26:22 Rezoning is not building26:42 You still have to get the finance28:24 Planning takes the blame29:10 What PlanningXChange became30:00 Biggest audience is now the US31:28 Planning is not boring32:23 A Master of Public Health32:48 The health cost of isolation34:35 Density and connection35:41 The US as testing ground39:38 States converging41:14 AI and the submission that vanished41:45 The human element in planning42:09 Advice for people coming through42:50 Supporters, not just mentors44:05 Keep educating yourself45:24 Good work nobody hears about45:47 Voice is not self-promotion46:32 You will not get it right47:07 Give it a go47:50 Almost no negative feedback48:59 Leaders who ask "are you sure?"50:35 The people at the edges52:06 Life in the trenches54:27 Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways⁠⁠⁠Town planning started as public healthCareers do not need a straight line into them.Getting involved early compoundsThe industry was static, and now it is notReform has moved decisions upwardSound Bites / Quotes:“Really the genesis of town planning comes from a health problem, you know, needing to segregate land use into different areas so that you didn't have disease.”— Jess Noonan, ~03:11Connect and Follow Jess NoonanLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/noonanjessicaWebsite: https://tract.com.au/References & Resources:PlanningXChange — Jess's podcast, running since 2014: https://www.planningxchange.org/https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/planning-xchange/id949263443Planning Institute of Australia — https://www.planning.org.au/Townhouse and Low-Rise Code / Development Facilitation Program—https://www.planning.vic.gov.auVicSmart — Victoria's fast-track permit pathway: https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/guides-and-resources/guides/all-guides/vicsmart-permitsABS — https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/statistical-geography/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgsAHURI —https://www.ahuri.edu.au/analysis/brief/what-build-rentJulianne Holt-Lunstad — https://www.julianneholtlunstad.com/15-cigarettesHolt-Lunstad, Smith & Layton (2010) https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1000316LET’S BE Inspired📸 ⁠https://www.facebook.com/beinspiredcommunity/⁠📱⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/beinspiredpodcast⁠📸⁠https://www.instagram.com/beconnected_podcast/⁠🎧 ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5DbuoR8Ztq3sGYa5rrKzq7⁠🔗https://www.youtube.com/@BEInspiredPodcast🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@beconnectedpodcast🌍My website - ⁠https://be-inspired.net
