Revolutionizing Women's Workwear
Manage episode 389356918 series 3446548
In this episode of the Sparky Life podcast, host Lia Lamela speaks with Laura Stevenson, a red seal electrician and founder of Salty Mountain, a women's workwear brand. They discuss their experiences in the electrical trade, the differences in licensing between Canada and the US, and the pros and cons of union and non-union apprenticeships.
Laura shares her journey of starting Salty Mountain, from winning a $25,000 grant to creating prototypes of high-rise pants and overalls. She emphasizes her mission to empower women in the construction industry with workwear that combines comfort, style, and functionality.
I'm thrilled to share with you the latest episode on the Sparky Life podcast, where I had the pleasure of hosting Laura Stevenson. Laura's mission to revolutionize women's workwear by combining functionality and style is truly inspiring.
