Designing the Future: Architecture, Stadium Secrets, and Career Truths | Unspoken with Brandon

In this episode of Unspoken, the Nicks sit down with licensed architect Brandon Maxey to explore the fascinating world of Kansas City architecture, from designing the future of educational environments to his work on the Las Vegas Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium. Brandon dives deep into the creative process, comparing the raw "slop" of pen and paper sketching with the technical precision of 3D modeling and CAD used to build modern storm shelters and schools. The conversation travels from the stadium architecture capital of the world to the historic streets of Rome, where Brandon recounts "going back in time" at the Basilica of San Clemente and finding inspiration in ancient Roman design. Beyond the blueprints, "Uncle B" shares vital career truths for aspiring professionals, discussing the humbling transition from being a "top dog" in school to navigating the high-stakes mistakes of an architecture internship. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in creative careers, urban development, and the personal stories that shape the buildings we live and learn in.Send us a Message!
