Episode Description In this episode, Taylor and Hector dive into the challenges women face in construction — from being one of the few on site to navigating discrimination, lack of proper PPE, and the isolation that comes with breaking into a male-dominated industry. Taylor shares her personal story of choosing engineering despite being told she’d never make it, and together they explore the real barriers women encounter on jobsites every day. With data, lived experience, and practical steps for both individuals and companies, this conversation goes beyond awareness and pushes for real culture change.
