  • Good info for all industries

    Despite not being in building/lumber I enjoy many of these podcasts. Good leadership ideas and good interviews are time well spent for me. I especially like hearing from women and BIPOC guests who are often up against extra hurdles in the leadership positions in this industry. Learning about the tenacity required to thrive is encouraging and applicable to me. Thanks!
