Her advice for women starting out? Keep an open mind. “The trades offer endless opportunities, whether you’re drawn to the technical side, leadership roles or marketing,” she said. “Do your research and explore what’s out there.” Postell encourages young women to connect with industry mentors who can guide them. “Find someone who’s already where you want to be, whether it’s a fellow business owner or someone who has been in the industry for years,” she advised. “It’ll help you avoid pitfalls and fast-track your success.” Postell also founded She Means Business, an annual conference in Charleston designed to help women grow profitable businesses. The event provides not just valuable knowledge, but a powerful networking opportunity. “Building your tribe is essential,” she emphasized. “Surround yourself with people who push you to be better, who will lift you up toward your goals.” At Anchor Heating & Air, Postell has fostered a supportive work culture, focused on taking care of employees and giving back to the community. “When you do things the right way, everything else falls into place,” she said. And it’s that philosophy that attracts both employees and customers to the business. For more information, visit anchorheatingandair.com.
