In this episode of the Beyond Normal Podcast, we sit down with Monique Lewis, founder and CEO of Next 2 Native Language Learning, to explore how she’s reshaping the construction industry through language-based workforce development. What started as a conversation class at a local community college has grown into a B2B solution that’s saving lives and changing how companies invest in their teams.

Monique shares how a tragic construction site accident tied to a language barrier led her to take a bold leap into entrepreneurship. We unpack her journey from part-time educator to business owner, the challenges of moving from B2C to B2B, and how she’s helping companies understand that language isn’t just about communication—it’s about safety, retention, and culture.

Whether you’re a workforce leader, DEI advocate, or builder looking to make your workplace safer and smarter, this episode offers real-world insight into what happens when mission meets opportunity.
