From Architect to Entrepreneur: Matt Arnold Featured on Winning Business Radio

What does it take to leave a 15-year career at a prominent Boston architecture firm, start your own practice, and build a business rooted in creative autonomy and client partnership? On a recent episode of Winning Business Radio, hosted by Kevin Hallinan, I shared my entrepreneurial journey—from architect to business owner, designer to developer, and idea to execution.

The Leap: Building ArnoldAnd from the Ground Up
In my engaging conversation, I reflected on the turning point that led me to launch ArnoldAnd. It wasn’t just about going solo—it was about creating a practice centered on collaboration, creativity, and impact. I discussed how launching a firm is as much a personal decision as a professional one, particularly when it coincides with becoming a brand new parent. (Yikes!)

Architecture as Strategic Problem-Solving
I shared my belief that architecture is more than form and function—it’s about guiding people through complexity. Whether it’s navigating zoning, budgets, or aesthetics, the job is about leading with empathy and clarity. This philosophy has shaped ArnoldAnd’s approach to client work and business growth.

Advice for Business Owners & Creatives
From business modeling to branding, I offered perspective for others looking to transition from traditional roles into entrepreneurial leadership. I highlighted the importance of trusted collaborators, clear brand identity, and a vision that evolves alongside life’s major milestones.
