Meet Erika

A Force of Grit, Grace, and Audacious Growth

Keynote Speaker | Construction Executive | Podcast Host | Helping Organizations Cultivate Audacious leaders

Not here to play small. Never have been.

Erika Rothenberger walks her talk. A high-impact executive in the male-dominated construction industry by day—and a keynote speaker, podcast host, entrepreneur, and mom of two by always—she’s living proof that you can build a life of both impact and intention.

From the job site to the stage, Erika’s mission is clear: to help people rise. Rise into unshakable confidence. Rise with clarity, conviction, and purpose. Rise into the kind of life and leadership that leaves a legacy.

Her speaking style is raw, real, and radically energizing. Audiences leave feeling seen, challenged, and lit up with new audacious conviction. Whether she’s speaking to a room full of executives or a ballroom packed with dreamers, Erika delivers a message that resonates.

A Few Titles She’s Proud Of:

  •  Founder of Red Dog Restoration (built from grit during life’s hardest season)
  •  Host of Grit, Grace & Glitz, a podcast for ambitious women
  • Named a Top Leader in Wellness & Empowerment
  • Leader in a national construction firm, building more than just structures—building culture
  • Fueled by purpose, her husband and two kids who keep her grounded and inspired.

What Drives Her:

  • Turning setbacks into stepping stones
  • Showing that a life of audacity isn’t about chasing more—it’s about leading with vision and alignment.
  • Building legacies through connection, courage, and consistent action
