Host Angela B. Freeman talks with two central Indiana women who started their own companies in the male-dominated fields of technology and construction.

Audrey Taylor, co-founder of Netlogx, explains her firm's self-funded model for growth, while Akilah Darden, founder of The Darden Group, details what it was like to start a company during a pandemic.

They share what other women need to know about banking, marketing and business certifications before they start their own companies.
