Women of PHP: Strength, Sobriety & Second Chances in Construction - Episode 104

In Episode 104 of the Workforce Skills Podcast, John Morris does something special — he brings together the women of PHP Commercial Painting.

From the field to the office, these women share powerful stories of resilience, recovery, redemption, and growth. Many have overcome addiction, incarceration, and life on the streets. Together, they represent over 60 years of prison time — and now they’re thriving in construction.

This episode isn’t just about painting.

It’s about:

• Finding purpose after prison

• Building confidence in a male-dominated industry

• Staying sober through hard work and accountability

• Leadership, mentorship, and second chances

• Why hiring women can transform a company culture

These women are painters, office leaders, mentors, mothers — and proof that construction is not “just a man’s world.”

If you believe in workforce development, second chances, and strong company culture, this episode will hit home.

Stay hungry.
