In EP 77, I sit down with Erika Scherman, owner of MC Tool and Safety, to talk about her unexpected path into construction and what it means to run a business in this industry. We get into how ownership gives her a unique perspective on the products being put in front of customers every day, and the responsibility that comes with choosing what actually works in the field.
We also talk about the evolution of PPE for women, why fit and functionality matter, and she shares some of the brands and products she's seen perform well for women in construction. Links to some of those are below!
