Struggles, we all face them. In school, in work, in our personal lives, and in our relationships. If we use the lessons we learn from the struggles we face to inspire the rest of our choices, there’s no saying what we can’t achieve.

 

Join me in this episode as I speak with Jennifer Longoria, VP of Sales, about her uniquely challenging life and how she got inspired to climb the corporate ladder of the construction industry. 

 

Jennifer and I actually grew up together and after living two very different lives, we both ended up in the trades with memorable learnings to look back on. Tune in to this amazing conversation to hear some of those learnings and more!
