 When a fax from her father handed her the reins to the family construction company, Joy Rohadfox had no engineering background—but she had grit, intelligence, and heart. In this episode, Joy shares her remarkable journey from a dirt-bike-riding little sister in Durham to CEO of a multimillion-dollar infrastructure firm. We talk about navigating politics in business, earning respect in a male-dominated field, and staying true to your style—yes, even in Gucci. This conversation is about legacy and the power of saying yes before you feel ready.  She is gem and you’ll be inspired by her sense of humor and quiet confidence.
