If you like window wisdom with a Brazilian accent and the occasional bad pun… you’re definitely in the right place.

Send Us Your Questions & Feedback!
EPISODE SUMMARY
You might think a heavy metal concert is just loud music and flashing lights. But for me, Roger Magalhães, it became an unexpected masterclass in business, branding, and human connection. This episode pulls back the curtain on the raw, unfiltered lessons I learned from the mosh pit at a Metallica show in Tampa, showing how they apply directly to your work in the window treatment industry.
THE A-HA MOMENT
Just like a perfectly tuned guitar riff can electrify a stadium, the right approach to your business can create an unforgettable experience for your clients. Many believe that delivering a product is enough, but Metallica showed me that it's about the entire sensory journey. We're going to dive into how their incredible stage presence, genuine fan engagement, and ability to evolve while staying true to themselves offer a powerful guide for your business.
We'll explore why going the extra mile makes every client feel seen, creating undeniable loyalty. You'll also understand why humility and connection build the strongest relationships and drive referrals, much like a band connecting with its audience.
THE BREAKDOWN
- The Power of Presence: How to ensure every client feels seen and valued, turning standard jobs into loyal customers.
- Charisma Over Ego: Why genuine connection and humility are your greatest assets in building lasting relationships.
- Consistency + Reinvention: The art of staying relevant and true to your craft in a constantly shifting industry, just like a band evolving its sound without losing its identity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My take on why you should never cut corners on quality – the details truly matter.
- How to be the Metallica of your market: bringing the fire, professionalism, and unexpected magic that keeps people talking and coming back.
Hit play and let's get into this story! You'll see that sometimes, the best business lessons come from the most unexpected places. 🤘🇧��
