Episode 43: Off the Record a Human Scale Blooper Reel
Happy National Podcast Day! To celebrate, we're opening the Human Scale vault and sharing some of our favorite never-before-heard moments from the cutting room floor. While the final episodes are carefully edited, these clips are delightfully unpolished: missed cues, verbal gymnastics, surprise interruptions, and the kind of laughter that makes it impossible to keep recording. It's our second bloopers episode, and a reminder that the best part of podcasting isn't perfection. It's the moments that catch all of us completely off guard. So settle in, have a laugh, and enjoy the human side of Human Scale.

Episode 39: FRANK-ly Speaking with Katie Robinson
Three years in, The Human Scale finally lands one of LS3P’s most influential—and most elusive—voices: Chief Marketing & Knowledge Officer Katie Robinson.In this wide‑ranging, deeply human, and frequently hilarious conversation, hosts Meredith Ray and Patrick Cooley go far beyond titles and org charts to explore Katie’s unlikely journey - from a childhood shaped by wildlife refuges and coastal towns, to teaching herself graphic design out of sheer necessity, to building the firmwide marketing and knowledge ecosystem that quietly powers LS3P’s work every day.This episode is equal parts origin story, leadership masterclass, and group therapy session. Katie opens up about career pivots, impostor syndrome, mentorship, and why curiosity (and asking a lot of questions) has guided her career more than any formal plan ever could. Along the way, the conversation detours joyfully through Quark and fish vectors, turtle rescues, raising teenagers, surviving truly terrible home‑cooked meals, and why good knowledge management might be the most underrated (and misunderstood) discipline in AEC.

Episode 37: Lost & Found with Jordan Powers
Careers aren’t always straight lines - sometimes they’re layered, remixed, and built over time. In the latest episode of Human Scale, Meredith Ray and Patrick Cooley sit down with Jordan Powers, LS3P’s in-house photographer, to trace a creative path that’s anything but linear. From audio engineering and music to graphic design, entrepreneurship, and ultimately architecture-focused photography, Jordan’s career has been shaped by curiosity, hustle, and a well-timed willingness to say yes. Jordan shares how an unconventional journey took him from Ohio to Minnesota to the Southeast - and from recording studios and wedding shoots to documenting meaningful spaces across the built environment. Along the way, the conversation digs into the power of relationships in creative work, the evolving role of photography in an increasingly AI-influenced world, and why showing up with intention still matters. Jordan also reflects on the tension between creative freedom and stability, and what led him to launch the Architecture & Design Photography Summit - creating space for community, learning, and craft in a rapidly changing industry.
