Build a Business That Lasts: Lessons From a Detroit Architect - Ep. 195 w/ Rainy Hamilton Jr.

What Up Doe?! This week on the Black Fridays Podcast, we sit down with legendary Detroit architect and entrepreneur Rainy Hamilton Jr., President of Hamilton Anderson Associates, for a conversation about building businesses, building wealth, and literally helping build the city of Detroit. Rainy takes us from discovering architecture as a kid at Cass Tech to growing a practice that has spent more than three decades leaving its fingerprints across Detroit through major projects, neighborhoods, schools, entertainment spaces, and community development. We get into the reality of running an architecture firm, the lack of Black representation in the profession, what Detroit still needs to reach its full potential, and why Rainy believes property ownership can create leverage and generational opportunity. If you care about Detroit, entrepreneurship, real estate, Black ownership, design, or leaving something behind that outlives you, tap in.
