Rebuilding Smarter: Architect Lance Cayko on Design, Healing, & Stoic Leadership | Designing in 5D
Architect–builder–educator Lance Cayko (F9 Productions) joins host Jodi Peterman to talk about rebuilding life and business after setbacks, the law of polarity, and how intentional design, spirituality, and stoicism fuel resilient leadership. From being laid off in the Great Recession to launching a thriving practice, Lance shares how meditation, prayer, and the Designing in 5D mindset create spaces—and lives—that actually support well-being.
