It’s undeniable, women have always had to fight more than men to prove and establish themselves, to show they can bring that same (and sometimes even better) value to society as their male counterparts. In the past decades, women broke numerous glass ceilings and showed the world their righteous place in the workforce. However, even today, there are still a lot of areas that are dominated by men. Women keep feeling discouraged to pursue certain kinds of careers and to express and show their real expertise. If you recognize yourself in this statement, then you’ve found this episode for a reason.


Today’s guest Anna Sauceda, a businesswoman with a career spanning over three decades in very different roles, will tell us how she was able to stay true to herself and at the same time break a lot of glass ceilings and establish herself as a woman in the workplace. Anna lived her life following her desire to serve people and their communities, a value and principle that guided her throughout all her life.

Her expertise in fundraising and program management propelled the foundation to new heights for the next five years. In 2005. Anna and her husband Darrell made the decision to open their own construction company ACS group, better known as the Associated Construction Services group.
