What if I told you that the secret to transforming your cleaning or chemical business isn’t hidden in your procedures manual—it’s hiding in plain sight?
Hey everyone, and welcome back to today’s blog on Hospitality Cleaning 101. This blog is going to hit different because I was recently a guest on another podcast with Dave Thompson of the Academy of Cleaning.
Yesterday, I sat down with an old friend for what I thought would be a casual catch-up. But what unfolded was one of the most raw and honest conversations I’ve had about authenticity, reinvention, and what it really takes to thrive in our industry.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the daily grind of schedules and checklists… if you’ve questioned whether there’s more to this work than just getting the job done… or if you’re navigating a major shift in your career or business—this conversation is for you.
We dive deep into why vulnerability actually builds stronger leadership, how the language you use can completely change your outcomes, and why the most successful cleaning and hospitality professionals focus on meaning, not just metrics.
However, what really got me was when my friend shared something that completely reframed how I think about pivots and setbacks. It’s not just career advice—it’s a complete mindset shift that could change how you lead your team, grow your business, and see yourself as a professional.
This isn’t your typical industry podcast. We’re talking about the human side of chemicals and cleaning—the side that transforms ordinary service into something memorable.
