If you think reinvention is impossible later in life - or that fashion and construction can’t possibly mix - Brenda “Maxx” Cumbie McGee is here to prove you wrong.

In this uplifting and eye-opening conversation, Maxx shares her remarkable journey from professional model to union carpenter, and now to Founder of GottStreet Blues®, a fashion-forward workwear brand designed for women who build, weld, dig, create, and do.

From her childhood spent toggling between Tonka trucks and dress-up heels, to decades on construction sites, to a surprise return to modeling in her 60s, Maxx’s story is a testament to grit, creativity, and embracing every season of life with style.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Maxx’s early influences shaped her love of both design and building
The challenges (and triumphs) of launching a brand later in life
Her insider perspective on ageism in the fashion and construction worlds
Why sustainability and just-in-time production are game-changers for apparel
Maxx’s advice for anyone 60+ dreaming of starting something bold and new

Maxx's enthusiasm is contagious! When she talks, her eyes light up, her passion radiates, and you can feel her energy reaching right through the mic to inspire you.

If you’ve ever thought it’s “too late” to chase a dream, this episode will provide the inspiration you need and have you rethinking everything.
