So, I am fortunate to get her to talk to us.\n\nSchannon left her dream job to start a business because the local operators work was sub par. This is where the story starts and we quickly get into:\n-being taken seriously as a woman in the workplace\n-working with GC’s vs clients\n-vetting clients\n-not cheapening yourself \n-issues around hiring help\n-mentors and mentoring\n-her philosophy (pretty well covered in the quote here)\n-then we wade into the discussion about how to treat the next generation of incoming trades people\n\nSchannon is also a badass in the gym but we didn’t have time to get into that topic in this pod. Anyway you slice it, Schannon is an excellent role model and mentor for people coming into the trades.\n\n\n"}
