This episode serves as a powerful conversation on overcoming industry stereotypes, the essence of entrepreneurial success, and the impact of vision and dedication in creating a thriving business that goes beyond financial profitability to embody service, community contribution, and personal fulfillment.

Your host, Madeleine MacRae, talks with the CEO and Principal Owner of Energy Exteriors NW, Erin Ennis. Erin's entrepreneurial spirit was palpable. She shared that from a young age, she realized that traditional employment wasn't her path. Instead, she was drawn to the autonomy and challenges of self-employment. Energy Exteriors NW, her third major venture, holds a special place in her heart. With her children grown, Erin seized the opportunity to make a significant impact in an industry often marred by a less-than-stellar reputation.

As a general contractor focusing on the exterior elements of homes, Erin's company specializes in windows, doors, siding, and painting. She highlighted the emotional weight homeowners carry when making decisions about their homes. Her approach is to educate and guide them through the process, ensuring they understand the importance of their choices beyond aesthetic appeal. Erin's commitment to keeping "the outside out" is a testament to her dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.
