Episode 1: The Future Of The Construction Industry

Coping 19 Podcast! An optimistic look at entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 Pandemic. What are small businesses and freelancers doing to pivot their businesses into this new world? Don't forget this is the time for business owners to be creative. There is no roadmap for this situation; the possibilities on how people run their companies are endless. Technology gives entrepreneurs chances to adapt their business to this new reality. One day we will take a step back and see the new ideas, new companies, new career paths that emerge from COVID-19. 

My first guest is Kendall Ansell, who owns Kendall Ansell Interiors and Belle Construction Inc. A remarkable woman who runs two businesses, she started her self. We talk about what it is like to have a construction and interior design company during the early days of COVID-19. What is she doing to pivot her businesses during this uncertain time? Please find out how Kendall is guiding her business through these uncharted waters. Her thoughts about how the building industry will get through the Pandemic and the future of construction! Kendall is a big advocate for women in the building industry, and she shares in this episode why she wanted to start the first female lead construction company in BC. As more enterprises see the loss in jobs, like the travel-hospitality industry, I ask Kendall if she feels more women will be looking into the trades sector for a career. Listen to the inaugural episode of Coping-19 as we talk about how Kendall is navigating two businesses through the COVID-19 world, still helping to get more women into the construction industry and raising a 3-year-old.
