It was 2008. The economy was tanking, and ๐๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ made a decision that most people would call crazy: she invested her ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ into an auction-bought truck and launched a paving company in an industry she knew nothing about. No construction background. No safety net. Just her, her dog Lucy ๐ถ, and an unshakable belief that she could build something real.
For the first 12 years, Lucy was her 24/7 support systemโriding shotgun through long days, early mornings, and the kind of uncertainty that comes with starting from zero in a male-dominated industry. Today, it's her wife Jennifer โค๏ธ who holds down the home front, giving Leslie the foundation to lead ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ a ๐ฎ๐ฌ+ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ, ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐-๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ that's become one of the most trusted names in Central New Hampshire.
But here's what sets ๐๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ apart: she didn't just build a businessโshe built a ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. In an industry where corners get cut and promises get broken, ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ does the opposite. Quality work. Direct communication. Professional results. Every time!
In this raw and inspiring session, ๐๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ shares what it took to go from one truck to a thriving team, how she earned respect in an industry that didn't expect her, and why ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ is the only competitive advantage that matters. From managing growth to building loyalty, creating systems that scale, and leading with integrity when it would be easier not toโshe'll give you the real story behind the asphalt.
