This month is women’s history month, and we’ve partnered with Cat Footwear to bring you stories from female entrepreneurs in the construction industry. This is the first episode of our four-part series. The goal is to highlight some of the female movers and shakers in an industry where they make up only around 10% of the workforce. Our guest today is Katie Frank, founder of eMOD, a company focused on improving safety on construction sites. Katie’s story is a deeply personal one, and she’s helping to modernize construction safety so that every worker can go home to their families, every night.

Listen in as we cover everything from why there’s a lack of respect inherent in the construction industry, the importance of keeping your cool in high-pressure scenarios, and why easy fixes have high costs.
