About this listen

In this podcast with Jo Farrell ( General Manager (ACT) at Kane Constructions // Founder of Build Like A Girl // Board Director YWCA Canberra) we unpack the challenges Jo faced being a female in the construction industry.

Jo shares a personal story about having to work for free to prove her capability in a male-dominated industry, being pushed over in a portaloo by her colleagues, and outlines her journey to being a change-making industry leader.

Jo also talks about her business and mission 'Build like a girl' which encourages girls to enter the trades.

A conversation not to be missed!!

(Note: Jo thankfully recorded this podcast live from the construction project during a power outage so apologies if the sound quality isn't great)
