Welcome to ENHANCE!

In this inaugural episode, we dig into why this show exists.

Simply put-
“Learning the WHY of AEC professionals so you can learn yours”

In this episode, we are introduced to your host, Andy Richardson, and his producer. Andy is a structural engineer with 26 years of experience and is on a journey to learn about the AEC industry.

Madeline is his daughter and is also the producer. But in this first episode, she is the host and Andy is the guest!

In this episode, we talk about how ENHANCE came about, and how Andy has a desire to inspire, educate, and entertain listeners about the AEC industry.

This goal is achieved through meeting with professionals in the AEC industry, and finding out what they do, and particularly what drives them, or their “Why”.

Recorded in a Lowcountry setting overlooking the Beaufort River. We try to both educate and inspire on this journey in an enjoyable way.

So if you are an architect, engineer, contractor, or professional in the AEC industry looking for a little information or inspiration - - or someone interested in design and construction - then you are invited to peek over the fence as well.

At ENHANCE, we’re dedicated to uncovering the “why” of industry professionals and sharing their unique stories.
