Ep 81 She Started A Male Dominated Business! You Can Too!

Angelica Khan didn't grow up dreaming about dump trucks. She was on a fast track in banking, a VP title within reach, and a retirement plan already mapped out. Then COVID hit, and everything changed. What she built on the other side of that pivot — Khan Industries, a five-truck commercial dump trucking company she runs with her husband in Washington State — is one of the most quietly impressive stories to come through this show.Angelica breaks down what it actually takes to own and operate heavy equipment as a female minority business owner in a male-dominated industry. From getting her CDL just to prove she's the one running the show, to her husband signing away ownership rights so she could keep her certifications, the hoops are real. But so is the payoff. She talks about what it felt like the first time she saw all five of her trucks on the same job site — and why that moment never gets old.The conversation also gets real about building a team you can actually trust, what she looks for when hiring drivers, and the biggest red flag in any interview. Spoiler: it's not a gap in their resume. She also opens up about raising two daughters while running a business, and why she's not pressuring either of them to have it figured out at 13 — because she's living proof that the plan you make and the life you actually live can look nothing alike.If you've ever felt like you were meant for something different than what you're currently doing, this one's going to hit.🎙️ Connect with Angelica Khan: 🌐 Website: https://kahndump.com 📸 Instagram: @mrskahn02 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083207588445💙 Presented by People Helping People Live 🎧 Real Conversations.
