Jonathan Hallinan of BPM on building iconic design

Jonathan Hallinan is the Founder and Managing Director of property construction and development group BPM Corp, and owner of a global suit venture, The Cloakroom.  With a strong emphasis on artisanal and aspirational design, Jonathan makes a point in this interview that BPM is less about being high-end and more about being affordable while maintaining quality and luxury. While Jonathan has created incredible success in the growth of BPM Corp, a really poignant part of this interview was our discussion about how his measure of success has changed. Life is less about the focus on financials, and more about the simpler things in life like human connection and life experience.  This was a short but sweet interview, due to the nature of how busy Jonathan is - but indeed there are lessons here for everyone. In this episode we covered: * Early career & inspiration * The importance of good design * Focusing on the downsizer * Shrinking BPM * Making great design accessible * Why detail and process matters, and * Measuring success
