Description
Today’s guest has been in the construction industry since the 80s, a time when gender equality was not what it is today. Julie Laughton is a designer, general contractor, and the CEO of Julie Laughton Custom Homes, a unique one-stop-shop design-build service. Between New York City, where she began her career, and Orange County, California, where she is now based, Julie has designed over 500 spaces. Today she joins us to share some of the wisdom she has gained in her decades spent in the male-dominated industry of construction and design. Tuning in you’ll hear how Julie’s mom raised her without any boundaries around what women can or can’t do, how she started her business, some of the most notable projects she has been involved in, and what it’s like being a woman in a leadership role in a male-dominated industry. You’ll find out how Julie’s process works, why her company’s employee retention is so high, and how she developed the leadership skills that she has today. She also shares insight on her involvement in HGTV's Frozen in Time. Julie is the epitome of what Hazard Girls is all about, so tune in today for this inspiring conversation!
