Episode 17: The Wives Behind The Gutter

Women In Business 

Women in business are rocking our nation, and our gutter ladies are no different. In this episode you will hear from 3 amazing "wives behind the gutter" - Jessi, Cara, and Rebecca from their perspective on being a Brothers Gutters Franchise owner. They are discussing some really important things like mother/boss lady balance, flexibility in the business, their kids within the business, their decision making process and so much more. 

These women in business all have varying role within their company, and they all have hopes and dreams for their kids. But, the best part is being able to show their kids that traditional schooling is not their only option. In fact, most of their kids already envision having their own business when they get older or being a part of the gutter business.
