About this episode

Marcia Taylor shares her journey of taking over her late husband's trucking company and transforming it into a billion-dollar enterprise guided by her faith and resilience.

Not wanting to let down those who are counting on you is a feeling we all can relate. That's how Marcia Taylor felt after her husband died in a medical mishap, and she found herself in charge of the small trucking company he owned. Despite her early concerns about the challenges she was facing as a woman in a male-dominated business, she has built that company into a multifaceted industry leader worth nearly a billion dollars. She's done it, she says, by being guided by her faith and values and learning that if she tried something and failed, it would be OK, because she could bounce back and try again.
