She earned her stripes. Now she's cementing the family legacy.

Nine years ago, before she even went to law school, Sheylla Aceves shared her story with Lawyer Stories. Today, she's the CEO of Tiger Concrete & Screed, helping lead and grow the family construction business her father built from the ground up.

On Episode 287 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast with Benny Gold, we reconnect with Sheylla to talk about her remarkable journey as the daughter of a Mexican immigrant who built a successful construction company through hard work, determination, and sacrifice.

Sheylla didn't simply inherit a leadership position. She earned her stripes, obtaining her law degree, master's in construction management, and general contractor's license. She knew that earning street cred in the construction industry meant understanding the business from the ground up.

We discuss family, leadership, earning respect, stepping into the CEO role, and what it means to burn the boats when you're fully committed to building something bigger than yourself.

From a young woman sharing her aspirations with Lawyer Stories in 2017 to a CEO working to cement her family's legacy, Sheylla's journey is exactly why we started this platform.
