In this episode of the HVAC Uncensored Podcast, Gil talks with the 2025 HVAC Tactical Lady Of The Trade Winner. I am happy I witnessed her moment at the HVAC Tactical Awards. It was so deserving. I have had the privilege to meet Rachelle and her husband, Igor. They are both such incredible people. Rachelle's story of entering the HVAC trade has been so empowering to women and men alike in the trade. Many relationships fail because of the grueling demands of the trades, but Rachelle and Igor work in the trade at the same company. Truly an inspiration. The fact that she is open about her love of God makes my heart happy as a fellow open Christian whose faith drives my life. Come hand out live as we talk about and honor Rachelle's impact. Plus, hang out and chat with her.
