Stefanie Knows the Work Behind the Conversation.
She grew up in her dad's lumberyard. Later, she helped build teams and expand door operations inside a nationwide publicly traded distributor. Today, she's building Grit Blueprint with her husband, Ben.
She has worked across sales, operations, production, customer relationships, and leadership. She knows how differently the same decision can look from the yard, the sales desk, the production floor, and the executive meeting.
That experience shapes the questions she asks and the examples she brings to the stage.
She can talk with the person delivering the material and the executive deciding where the business goes next. She looks for language that helps both understand the issue, because a strategy only works when people can act on it.
- 30+ Years in the building industry, starting in her family’s lumberyards
- 21 to 2,100 people, from private sessions to a conference at ARIA Las Vegas
- 140+ Grit Blueprint Podcast episodes
