In this episode, I spoke with Amy Bird, the founder of Countrywide Metals, who shared her remarkable journey from in the world of metal recycling industry. Amy’s story is one of resilience and determination, shaped by her early experiences in a family business and her desire to prove herself in a traditionally male-dominated field.
