Women in Construction | Empowering Women in Roofing & Construction
Welcome to "Women in Construction," a podcast that shines a spotlight on the inspiring journeys and achievements of women in the construction industry.
In this episode, we're thrilled to host Heidi Ellsworth, a visionary with over three decades of experience in the roofing sector.
Dive deep into Heidi's remarkable journey from her early days at Malarkey Roofing to becoming the president and owner of Roofer's Coffee Shop. Heidi shares invaluable insights into the evolution of marketing within the roofing industry, the importance of technology, and how creating a family-oriented business model has been a key to her success.
Furthermore, she discusses the critical role of networking and associations, such as National Women in Roofing, in empowering women and promoting diversity in the construction field.
This episode is not just a narrative of success; it's a roadmap for anyone looking to break barriers and make a mark in the construction industry. Join us as we explore how passion, resilience, and community can build not just buildings, but a legacy.
