Episode Description: In this episode, Roger dives deep into seemingly disconnected stories that ultimately weave together to reveal a fundamental truth about business and life. From the audacity of choosing orange glasses to a masterclass in customer service from none other than Metallica, and even a minor mishap with an oversized couch. Discover why the true essence of your brand lies in making clients feel "relieved, seen, and taken care of."

Key Takeaways From This Episode:

  • The Color of Audacity (and Authenticity): Why a pair of orange glasses can be the perfect symbol of who you are and how that reflects in your business. It's about evolving without losing your essence.
  • Metallica: A Masterclass in Customer Experience: How a band with 43 years on the road still delivers a show with fire, professionalism, and humility. The lesson in truly connecting with your audience, making them feel like you're there for them.
  • The Couch That Didn't Fit and the Grace of Good Service: A hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) story about a measurement mistake and how the empathy of a furniture store turned a problem into a moment of pure relief.
  • On Both Sides of the Table: Roger shares the epiphany of seeing himself as a customer – confused, slightly embarrassed, hoping for grace – and how that shapes the way he treats every person who reaches out to Shades In Place.
  • Why People Call (and What They Really Need): Nobody calls the window treatment guy when everything's perfect. They call when the sun is cooking their hardwood floors, the neighbors have front-row seats into the bedroom, or after three DIY fails. They call when they need someone to say: "I got you."
  • The "Orange Frames" Philosophy: How your authenticity and your way of being make it easier for people to see you, trust you, and know that you're there to solve their problem.
