Jennifer Todd, owner, LMS General Contractors and founder, A Greener Tomorrow, speaks with us about the numerous challenges she has faced entering a historically male-dominated industry. Holding a number of roles, including project management and superintendent, Todd started her own business 16 years ago and has used it as an avenue for recruiting a female workforce. Out of that grew A Greener Tomorrow, a non-profit organization that provides education and career opportunities in the construction skilled trades to underserved populations with a focus on empowering women. Todd's perspective on a solution to the labor shortage is simple: address the needs of your employees so that they can be successful.

Aztec Carpet & Rug is celebrating 40 years this year and got its start as a workroom, producing custom rugs.

Following his service, he became a carpet helper and then went on to work for a large carpet chain as a flooring installer. He eventually went out on his own and Aztec Carpet & Rug was born. Rodriguez shares how the family has managed to remain successful over the course of 40 years, how they have had to pivot in the hard times and how they landed some pretty big clients.
