Generations of Strength: A Mother-Daughter Journey In the Asphalt Industry
If you’ve listened to this podcast for a bit, you know that I come from an entrepreneurial family in highway construction. My mom took over when my dad suddenly passed away.
She and I recently appeared together on a Women of Asphalt webinar where Mom talked about her experience while I mainly discussed what women in asphalt can do today to help themselves and their organizations thrive. And today, I want to share that conversation with you and let you hear from my mom, Sandy Brasier, for the first time on the show!
In this episode of the Contractor’s Daughter podcast, you’ll hear about key lessons learned through resiliency, drive, and inspiration during hard times as a female entrepreneur in the business.
You’ll also learn how to stand out and impress as women in the asphalt industry while helping your organization achieve its objectives, the importance of building relationships (generally and with other women, specifically) in construction, and so much more!
