What happens when a woman steps boldly into one of the most male-dominated industries in America — and wins?
You get a story that ignites every woman with ambition, grit, and a desire to build something powerful.

In this episode, Angela Giles sits down with Dara Janis, owner of Prestige Roofing in Maryland, whose journey from private banking to real estate to flipping houses — and ultimately to leading a roofing company — shows exactly what is possible when women trust themselves, leverage their strengths, and refuse to let fear or stereotypes dictate their future.

Dara shares her path into blue-collar entrepreneurship, the mindset shifts required to lead crews in a male-dominated space, the importance of confidence and knowledge, and how service-based businesses can thrive even in uncertain economic climates.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who’s ever wondered if she’s “enough” to start a trade business — or any business at all.

You’ll discover:

• How Dara transitioned from banking to real estate to owning a successful roofing company
• What women must know before stepping into blue-collar or male-dominated industries
• Why confidence, knowledge, and self-trust are your greatest assets
• How roofing and other trades are evolving in the current economy
• Creative solutions for the skilled-labor shortage happening right now
• The power of mentorship and women supporting women
• The truth about balancing leadership, family, and business in the trades
• How AI can support service businesses without replacing the human touch

Dara’s message is clear:
You don’t need permission. You need courage, support, and the willingness to stand on what you DO know — because you can do far more than you think.
