In this episode, I’m joined by Renae Sams, Founder, Executive Director of Build-Her.org, and author of Build-Her, Be Heard. We talk about her path into construction, the challenges that shaped her confidence, why she launched Build-Her, and how storytelling impacts recruitment, retention, and belonging for Women in Construction. Renae also shares the heart behind her book and the message she hopes every woman in this industry hears.Whether you’re in the field, in the office, leading teams, or just starting out, this episode is packed with perspective and encouragement for anyone navigating a predominately male industry.
