Southwest Industrial Electric has been the leading solution to the electrical problems of Southern California for 4 decades now. With professional, prompt, and competent employees, they offer nothing but the best in terms of customer service. No wonder they’ve been recognized as Inc 5000 fastest growing company 2 years in a row.However, more than their impressive accomplishments, it was Southwest’s diverse and upbeat culture, dedication to training their employees, and their focus on ethical contracting that really piqued my interest. Fortunately, Kristin Larson and Alix Smith, Southwest’s CEO and CFO respectively, agreed to come on our show.In this episode, we covered many interesting topics including Kristin’s experience as a female CEO in the construction industry, how Alix and Kristin ended up in C-Suite positions, how COVID-19 has affected their operations, and what they have learned from the global pandemic.Please enjoy and if you would like to participate, please send an email to colin@toolspodcast.comFor show notes, blog posts and past guests, please visit: www.toolspodcast.comSign up for Colin's newsletter HEREInterested in sponsoring the podcast?
