When a fax from her father handed her the reins to the family construction company, Joy Rohadfox had no engineering background—but she had grit, intelligence, and heart. In this episode, Joy shares her remarkable journey from a dirt-bike-riding little sister in Durham to CEO of a multimillion-dollar infrastructure firm.

What happens when you mix sisterhood, storytelling, and a sprinkle of entrepreneurial magic? On this episode of Madame Founder, I sit down with Susan Turnock and Heather Arak—the dynamic sister duo behind GGL Creative, the masterminds behind some of the most unforgettable corporate gifts and brand experiences on the planet! Corporate gifting has been around for ages, but they revolutionized it! If you get a gift, they designed... you KNOW IT! This is why powerhouse names like Disney, NASCAR, Sandals, and Coca-Cola trust them when it is time to stand out.
