Women at WIRC

Ashley Wainscott | Simply Sold

Welcome back to Women at WIRC, a podcast celebrating the vast experiences women can have in the remodeling and construction industries, and the unique skills and approaches each woman brings to her role.
Ashley Wainscott piqued my interest at the Women in Residential Construction conference last year when she introduced herself to the room. The fact that Ashley’s company, Simply Sold, is 80% women-owned and operated caught my attention for obvious reasons, but on top of that, she carries herself with an air of authority and power without being intimidating. She’s also a Millennial, who graduated with no intent of joining this industry, yet here she is, happy and thriving.
I knew I wanted to talk to her.

Liysa Callsen | CJC Carpentry

Welcome back to Women at WIRC, a podcast for and about the women of remodeling and construction. Joining us today is Liysa Callsen, the chief communications officer for CJC Carpentry in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Liysa and I met last year, when I was writing a profile of CJC Carpentry, the custom carpentry business that Liysa and her husband Carl own and operate together in Wisconsin.
I’ve been lucky enough to keep in touch with Liysa since then, and I’m very excited to give our listeners a glimpse into the life of an improv loving, marketing-minded, sign language interpreter who one day found her way into the trades.
