🎙 Cleaning Business Life
 

Welcome to Cleaning Business Life, the real-talk podcast for cleaning business owners, solo cleaners, and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to build profitable, sustainable cleaning companies. 

Hosted by Shannon Miller & Jamie Runco, this show dives deep into cleaning industry trends, marketing strategies, client management, hiring and training, systems and automation, and the real stories behind running a cleaning business.

Each week, we talk about what really happens behind the mop — from growing your client list, to raising prices, handling burnout, and creating freedom through your cleaning business.
