Made in Texas: From Third Generation Tradie to Bestselling Marketing Guru with Amber Gaige
This week Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomes third generation Tradeswoman and professional marketing bestseller, Amber Gaige, to the HVAC R&D Podcast.
Amber helped to grow her family’s plumbing business where she was put into the position to “start” a marketing company, that launched her into her career passion of supporting businesses with their branding and growth strategies.
Having built something with her family, Amber transitioned to the corporate world where she honed her craft to then return to her roots and found her own firm, Far Beyond Marketing.
This spirited woman from Texas has a great story and an even better personality and I am happy she shared her journey with the TradeCrew.
