From Farm Life to Design-Build Leadership: Lance Cayko’s People-First Journey
What happens when a poor farm kid from North Dakota trades irrigation lines for blueprints? You get Lance Cayko, co-founder of F9 Productions—a thriving design-build architecture firm in Colorado—and one of the most intentional leaders I’ve met.
In this episode of People First Builders, Lance shares how a summer job with a general contractor sparked a lifelong passion, how mentorship shaped his entrepreneurial mindset, and why putting people first is the key to his firm's success.
We talk: ✅ Building teams through mentorship and teaching ✅ Cultivating leadership in young architects ✅ Creating true work-life harmony (not just lip service) ✅ Inspiring future builders through purpose and culture
This isn’t just a story about architecture—it’s about legacy, leadership, and building something bigger than yourself.
