Women Behind the Build

by Ange Scott

Women Behind the Build shines a light on the women the building industry couldn't run without. The ones managing the business, the clients, the finances, the systems, and everything in between, while the world only sees what happens on site. Hosted by Ange Scott a licensed builder, award-winning business owner, and business coach with over 30 years in the industry. This podcast brings real conversations with real women about what it actually looks like to work in the building industry from the inside. The wins, the hard lessons, the things you wish someone had told you earlier. The stuff that doesn't get talked about enough but that so many women in this industry are living every single day. If you're a woman in the building industry who has never felt like your role was fully understood, or someone who works alongside one, this was made for you.
