Two founders on building a platform to help more girls see themselves in the trades.

We connected with Kate Glantz and Angie Cacace from Move Over Bob, a print-first media platform shaping the cultural narrative around women in skilled trades, to talk about what it takes to run a business built on visibility, why representation changes what girls believe is possible for themselves, and what they wish someone had told them when they were starting out.
Angie spent two decades in the trades, including ten years as a carpenter, designer, and business owner in construction, experience that gave her a firsthand understanding of what it takes for a woman to find her footing in a male-dominated field. She now brings that perspective to Move Over Bob's creative direction, editorial voice, and product development.
Kate's path took a different route through trade school and a background in economic development and social entrepreneurship, giving her a wider lens on building brands and bridging industries. She leads the company's growth, partnerships, and strategy, working to open new doors for women in the trades.
How they got here
Kate and Angie come from different backgrounds, but they were shaped by the same foundation: respect for the trades, the people in them, and the women whose stories they now share. "Show up. Do what you said you'd do. Figure it out. Do it right," they say. "That standard carries into everything we build."
It's a standard that also shapes how they talk about their own work. People tend to assume Move Over Bob is "just a magazine," but Kate and Angie see it as something bigger. "It's exposure. It's access. It's giving girls something concrete to see themselves in."
A day in the life
Running every part of the business means no two days look quite the same. "Our days range from Kate leading partner meetings, school visits, and industry conversations to Angie directing creative, building the magazine, and developing content," they explain. "Kate is also packing and shipping magazines, while Angie manages social and posts in real time. Some days we're both on jobsites or at photo shoots, and every day includes emails, follow-ups, and problem-solving, stepping into whatever the business needs."
It's a lot of ground to cover, but that's what makes their partnership work. "The best part of our partnership is that we bleed into each other's roles to keep everything aligned."
Ask them what skill they find most essential, and the answer isn't a technical one. It's judgment. "Discernment: knowing what to push forward and what to leave out," they say. "Whether it's a partnership, a story, or a single line of copy, the work is in the judgment."
What workwear gets wrong
As two women deeply embedded in the trades, Kate and Angie have strong opinions on an industry that has historically designed workwear without women in mind. "We want designers to know that young women want a say in their workwear," they say. "This isn't fashion for the sake of it. These clothes have to perform. And young women have clear, thoughtful opinions about what works and what doesn't, depending on what type of work they're performing."
It's a theme that runs through everything Move Over Bob does: the people doing the work deserve a seat at the table when decisions are made about that work, whether that's the gear they wear or the stories that get told.
Putting workwear to the test
That belief is also how our partnership with Move Over Bob began. This year, the team launched MOB Tested, a wear-testing program that puts gear in the hands of tradeswomen across the country, and Dovetail was one of a handful of brands invited to pilot it with the GO TO™ Stretch Canvas Pant and the Britt X Ultralight Pant.
"Their database was really impressive," says Sara DeLuca, Co-Founder and VP of Product at Dovetail. "Their wear testers were in fields that sometimes we've never tested in before." For her, one benefit stood out just as much: "broadening our exposure to this extraordinary group of tradeswomen that they have."
The women who deserve more recognition
When asked who deserves more recognition in their field, Kate and Angie don't point to a single name, they point to an entire workforce. "Tradeswomen," they say. "They make up just 4% of the construction workforce, and because they're often not at leadership tables, their perspectives and stories get overlooked. Their work matters because we need more young women to pursue these careers, and their presence has a powerful impact on how women see themselves and their place in society."
Advice for the next generation

Asked what their teenage selves would think of the work they do now, Kate and Angie laugh it off with a shrug of inevitability: "Considering Kate was class president and Angie was the yearbook photo editor, we'd say this checks out."
But the advice they'd give to the next generation is more pointed. "There isn't just one path," they say. "And you don't need permission to take a different one."
It's a fitting note to end on for two women who built their own path and are spending their careers making sure the next generation can see theirs, too.
