The whole world shut down, and for the first time, Amanda had nowhere to hide from the truth: she didn't recognize her own life anymore. Working temp jobs and pushing paperwork, she hit a professional rock bottom where the unhappiness became impossible to ignore.

Amanda joins Glenn to discuss her "feck it" turning point and her unexpected leap into the commercial construction industry. Despite having no background in the field and facing skepticism from her family, she moved from administrative assistant to project coordinator in a single year. She talks candidly about the intimidation of being the only woman on a panel of experts and why she now prefers "the slab" over a comfortable office job.

Key topics include:

• The COVID-era realization that forced a total career pivot.

• Overcoming the "I’m just a girl" mindset to enter a male-dominated trade.

• How construction teaches you to think on your feet and trust your instincts.

• The reality of being young and female in an industry of 20-year veterans.
