00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.500
series, turn the spotlight on the 11% of women currently

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.400
working in the trace here.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.100
That was how I knew.

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:22.500
It was time for me to move out from being an employee of a

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:24.600
stonemason who trained me was.

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.800
I was putting the stones for him in the orientation that he needed

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:28.900
it for the wall, right?

00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:30.700
Where his hand could reach it.

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:32.100
So he didn't have to thank you,

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.000
didn't have to get up.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.400
You just reach down and got this photo,

00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:37.000
put it on the wall and he looked at me and I look at

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.300
him and he was like, huh.

00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:43.300
So I knew I knew then that I was ready and I stayed with

00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:47.700
him another couple years because training training is key you

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:51.300
know you might be ready for one element of the job and when

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.100
you think you're ready to step out on your own,

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.300
there are so many more elements to the job than the job.

00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.400
There's, you know, there's getting the job,

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:03.400

00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:05.000

00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:11.800

as part of managing your truck?

00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:18.300
If you're if you're a got your truck in the shop who's going to

00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:19.800
bring your sorry ass to work?

00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:24.300

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:28.700
ready to step out and if you're doing the part then that's,
