Episode 42: Mike Blea and Breton Lujan

Mike Blea and Breton Lujan, co-founders of Raw Creative, join the show to talk about their shared Colorado upbringings and their initial disinterest in architecture before finally “drinking the Kool-Aid” and diving in to found their design and fabrication firm. They talk about the early days of Raw, which started at CU Denver and the Colorado Building Workshop, and the moments they have since learned and grown from.

After the credits we talk more about our shared struggle with “imposter syndrome”, a secret Aspen house, and how to deal with the feeling of being addicted to stress.
