Episode 1 | Behind Every Strong Woman: A Mother’s Day Special with Kathy Marzano [Audio]

What better way to kick off the Marcor Studios podcast than with the woman who helped shape the foundation—literally and figuratively.

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day premiere, I sit down with the woman who’s been my backbone, my biggest cheerleader, and the one who saw it all before it even began—my mom and Gary’s wife, Kathy Marzano. 🎙️🌷

We get personal about what it’s really like building a family business from the ground up—long hours, ripped roofs, Sunday calls about siding—and the sacrifices that often go unseen. From my first roofing job to juggling motherhood and managing multi-million-dollar projects, this conversation goes deep into the raw, funny, and unfiltered moments that shaped our family and our company.

We talk about the struggles of being a working mom, what it’s like to build a business with your family, and the resilience it takes to lead with heart in a world that doesn’t always make it easy.

It’s honest. It’s emotional. It’s the kind of talk only a mother and daughter can have.

Happy Mother’s Day—and welcome to Marcor Studios.
This is the start of something special—and we’re so glad you’re here.
