Architecture, Art, and the Soul of Austin: Inside the Mind of Calvin Chen

In this episode of From Waterloo to the Alamo, we sit down with Calvin Chen, partner at Bercy Chen Studio and founder of Art Hub ATX for a conversation that moves between architecture, art, and the future of Central Texas. From 24 years of building a globally recognized practice to opening one of the largest creative studio spaces in the state, this episode unpacks how vision, craft, and stewardship come together to shape not just buildings, but a city. We dig into the projects redefining Austin and the Hill Country, including Oak Creek Village's 486 units across nine acres near downtown and the $350 million Backyards office buildings in Bee Cave, why the timing of design decisions matters more than ever, and what it really takes to protect Austin's creative soul as the city grows. Rooted in the perspective and global standard of Engel & Völkers, this conversation reflects the intention, design intelligence, and elevated thinking that define the next era of real estate, architecture, and culture across Austin and beyond. If you are building, designing, collecting, or simply curious about where this city is headed, this is the conversation you want in your ear! 🎙️ Powered by Engel & Völkers Austin/San Antonio  📺 https://youtu.be/CNMFYMr6l80 [https://youtu.be/CNMFYMr6l80?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExaG9CaGltZUNVRHhVdW5MNnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6s00mOfSVLJ37aVQDQLVNNEkTjljKmDoToY4eLRYN5VbB-LOFgqS6c6GdwFw_aem_3Sr0Hmh1ZvgurPOiP_DGRA] 🎧Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you stream!  https://podcasts.apple.com/.../from-waterloo.../id1756122919 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-waterloo-to-the-alamo/id1756122919]   #EngelAndVolkers #EVRealEstate #LuxuryRealEstate #GlobalRealEstate #AustinLuxury #AustinRealEstate #AustinArchitecture #BercyChenStudio #ArtHubAtx #AustinArt #CreativeCommunity #UrbanDesign #ResidentialDesign #ArchitectureAndDesign #DesignDriven #FromWaterlooToTheAlamo #AustinTX #CentralTexasBuilders #RealEstateDevelopment #DesignBuild #FutureOfAustin #AustinDevelopment #OakCreekVillage #BeeCave #BuiltInAustin #RealEstatePodcast

Luxury Lives in the Details: Inside the Builder Mindset with Phyllis Overstreet

🔥 Justice. Leadership. Relentless Advocacy. | Amber Vazquez on From Waterloo to the Alamo 🔥

This week, we’re honored to welcome Amber Vazquez, founder of The Vazquez Law Firm, to the mic. With more than two decades in criminal defense, Amber has built a respected reputation in Travis County for being fiercely strategic, relentlessly prepared, and deeply compassionate. Her philosophy is simple but powerful: fight for people, not cases. In this episode, we explore what first called her to criminal law, how Austin’s evolving legal landscape is shaping defense strategy today, the role of empathy and storytelling in high stakes trials, navigating public perception in the age of social media, leading boldly as a woman in a historically male dominated field, and the biggest misconception about criminal defense work. This is a conversation about justice, dignity, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with standing beside someone on their hardest day. At Engel & Völkers Austin, we believe in spotlighting the leaders shaping our communities in business and beyond. Amber is absolutely one of them. 🎧 Watch the full episode on YouTube. 📍 From Waterloo to the Alamo. #FromWaterlooToTheAlamo #EngelVolkers #EngelVolkersAustin #AustinRealEstate #LuxuryRealEstate #TexasLuxury #TexasRealEstate #AustinTX #TexasRanches #HillCountryLiving #RanchLife #LuxuryHomes #GlobalRealEstate #WomenInLeadership #WomenInLaw #CommunityLeadership

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
