We also dive into the realities of leadership in construction: managing a small core team with a wide network of subcontractors and professional partners, creating a culture of pride and accountability on site, and helping young people see the huge range of careers that exist within th…","meta_description":"In this episode of Scale HER Up – The Female Entrepreneur Show, I’m joined by Eve McCurrich , Managing Director of Whiteburn Projects Limited , an award-w…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2308,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/scale-her-up-female-business-stories-and-expert-tips-for-business-growth-and-success-1377057/episodes/building-more-than-houses-eve-mccurrich-of-whiteburn-projects/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/scale-her-up-female-business-stories-and-expert-tips-for-business-growth-and-success-1377057/building-more-than-houses-eve-mccurrich-of-whiteburn-projects.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
