In this episode, she shares what it’s actually like building a trade business at 22, navigating a male-dominated industry, and turning organization and professionalism into a serious advantage. We get into stereotypes on site, earning respect, and why “girl power” can help or hurt depending on how it’s approached. Jada also breaks down what separates a good tradesperson from a real business owner — from how you show up, to how you quote, invoice, and communicate with clients. If you’re a contractor trying to grow, this one hits on the stuff that actually matters: quality, reputation, systems, and building a foundation that isn’t messy from day one. 👉 Learn more about Jobtable: https://www.jobtable.com Subscribe for weekly conversations with real contractors building smarter, more profitable businesses.
