What does it take to build something that truly changes an industry? In this powerful episode of the Women in Paint Podcast, I sit down with Angie Hicks, the co-founder of Angi, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business from the ground up—and lead it with purpose. Angie shares the story behind building one of the most recognized platforms in the home services industry, the challenges she faced along the way, and the mindset it took to keep going when things weren’t easy. But this conversation goes beyond business. We talk about what it means to be a woman in industries traditionally dominated by men—and why there is not only space for women in painting and the trades, but a massive opportunity to lead, grow, and thrive. This episode is for every woman who has ever questioned if she belongs in this industry. You do. And Angie’s story proves what’s possible when you believe it.
