No Strings Attached
Stories, laughs, and screw-ups...
It started with window coverings but it evolved into something bigger: honest conversations about business, reinvention, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Whether you’re a trade professional, a window covering pro, a business owner, or someone who simply enjoys real stories from real life, you’re in the right place.
I’m your host, Roger Magalhães—Brazilian-born. Boston-bred. Florida-based.
An entrepreneur, speaker, and storyteller, founder of Shades In Place and Trading Up Consulting, and author of Nobody Told Me That.
This show is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve lived, and what I’m still figuring out. No fluff. No filters...just stories and strategies that might help you on your own path.
If you like stories with a Brazilian accent and the occasional bad pun… you’re definitely in the right place.
So whether you’re tuning in from a job site, your morning commute, or a sunny porch with a cup of coffee, thank you for being here.
Let’s get real… and a little wiser with no strings attached.

Moving from Boston to Florida was supposed to slow things down. Instead, it became the same hustle in a warmer climate. In this reflective episode, Roger Magalhaes uses the snooze button as a powerful metaphor for how entrepreneurs bring old patterns to new places and what it really takes to wake up fully and live intentionally.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✅ Why relocation doesn't automatically change your pace - How Roger brought his Boston hustle to Tampa sunshine
✅ Breaking old business habits - Recognizing when you're on autopilot instead of living with purpose
✅ Avoiding entrepreneur burnout - The difference between hitting snooze and truly waking up to intentional living
✅ Work-life balance after a business move - Lessons from the window treatment industry about slowing down without losing momentum
✅ Living without "strings attached" - Letting go of old expectations, automatic responses, and outdated habits
Perfect for: Entrepreneurs who relocated but kept the same stress, business owners struggling with work-life balance, window treatment professionals managing transitions, or anyone who moved locations but not mindsets.
🎧 Listen now to learn how to stop hitting the snooze button on your life and start living with clarity and purpose.
Key Takeaway: Real change doesn't happen when you change locations—it happens when you allow yourself to slow down, tune into purpose, and stop being tied to old patterns.
