About this listen
What happens when a cybersecurity pro leaves a federal career to build a construction company from the ground up—with zero industry experience?
Meet Allison Drury, CEO of CAD Industries, a woman-owned underground utility business shaking up a male-dominated field. From buying her first drill after landing the job to leading complex projects for the National Zoo and regional governments, Allison proves that grit, mindset, and relentless drive can beat credentials any day.
In this episode, Allison opens up about:
-
Taking the leap from government GS-14 to entrepreneur
-
Building credibility as a woman in construction
-
Balancing family, leadership, and risk in real-time
-
Growing a regional business with national brand ambitions
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, working parent, or just need a reminder that it’s possible—this one’s for you.
