In this real, off-the-cuff drive-home episode, Ryan breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of growing a service business: marketing stamina. Too many business owners quit on Facebook ads, flyers, or door hangers after just a few weeks, then wonder why they’re stuck at $5K months. Ryan unpacks what it really takes to turn your marketing into a long-term asset, not just a short-term gamble. Whether you’re running ads or just getting boots on the ground, this episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s serious about scaling.

If you’re ready to scale with systems that work long-term, DM Ryan on Instagram @ryanthewindowcleaner with the word “podcast.” He’s helping 40+ service businesses grow with proven strategies—and you could be next.

In this deeply personal episode, Ryan records straight from the driver’s seat of his Stingray Corvette, but this isn’t just a car chat. He opens up about the tragic loss of friends from his hometown in a plane crash and reflects on how fragile life really is. Ryan shares how the grind of entrepreneurship can quietly distance us from the people who matter most and why we can’t let that happen. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing ambition and family, this one will hit home.

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, Ryan gets real about something most business owners struggle with: having hard conversations with employees. Whether it’s lateness, sloppiness, or poor attitude, most owners either avoid confrontation or explode after bottling up frustration. Neither works—and both can kill your company culture. So Ryan breaks down a powerful leadership strategy he learned from his mentor, Josh Latimer, on how to approach correction with clarity, calm, and control. You’ll learn the exact steps to take when a tech needs to be corrected, how to communicate expectations with confidence, and how to create buy-in without drama. If you want to lead like a true CEO—not just a friend or frustrated boss—this episode is for you.

Episode Summary:

In this off-the-cuff episode, Ryan shares a powerful lesson he learned at a Corvette performance driving school—and how it applies directly to growing a service business. It’s not just about going fast; it’s about knowing when to brake. Most small business owners burn themselves out by pushing the gas pedal non-stop, working late, quoting jobs, missing calls, and wondering why they’re stuck. But the ones who scale fast? They slow down at the right moments. Ryan breaks down the mindset shift from operator to owner, why weekly planning and early hiring matter, and how stepping back can set you up to move way faster long-term. If you’re stuck in hustle mode, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, Ryan shares one of the most powerful pricing strategies every service business owner should be using—Supply & Demand Pricing.

If you’ve been charging the same rates year-round, you're leaving money on the table. Ryan walks you through how to:

• Use your close rate as a real-time pricing signal
• Adjust your prices based on seasonal demand
• Make small, smart price changes (5–10%) that add pure profit to your bottom line
• Use CRMs and tools like ResponsiBid to make price adjustments in minutes
• Avoid the common mistake of guessing instead of using data-driven pricing decisions

This isn't theory—it's the exact method Ryan uses in his million+ dollar business to scale profitably without burning out or lowering standards.

If you want to make more without working more, this episode is your roadmap.

“Is it really possible to step away from your window cleaning business and still make great money?”

Spoiler: Yes — but only if you build it right.

Ryan walks through how he spends less than 15 hours/week in his business while still pulling in 6 figures, and the exact pillars that made it possible. This episode unpacks his Hawaii test (yep, a whole month away), what roles to hire and when, and why letting go of perfection is the key to scaling freedom.

Ryan shares the exact step-by-step strategy he used to go from $0 to consistent $20K/months, without a marketing budget, paid ads, or a single referral. All you need is time, hustle, a solid plan, and 10,000 door cards.

This is not theory. This is exactly what’s working on the ground for Ryan and dozens of his coaching clients across the country.
