このコンテンツについて

A podcast designed to inform, inspire, and occasionally entertain anyone connected to the world of window coverings.

Whether you’re a trade professional, an interior designer, a curious homeowner, or someone who simply enjoys honest stories about business and life and the pursuit of the American Dream, this show has something for you.


The voice behind the mic? That’s me—Roger Magalhaes, founder of Shades In Place & Trading Up Consulting and a proud veteran of the window covering industry.

I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years—installer, trainer, speaker, business owner—and now, podcast host and author.


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 window wisdom 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, get inspired, and maybe even get a little wiser (with no strings attached).

    Your Expertise is a Ferrari; Let’s Ensure It’s Priced Like One

    Description:
    Have you ever noticed how the price of a simple bottle of water can vary wildly depending on where you buy it? This episode dives deep into the psychology of pricing and perceived value—why location, positioning, and the story behind your service can make all the difference.

    In the world of window treatments, your expertise is not just a product; it’s a premium experience that deserves to be valued accordingly. I share insights on how many talented professionals unintentionally limit their earnings by anchoring their prices too low and how shifting your market “location” can elevate your brand and pricing power.

    Whether you’re struggling with price objections or wondering how to attract clients who truly appreciate quality craftsmanship, this episode will guide you through strategic mindset shifts and practical steps to position yourself where your true value shines.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why pricing is about more than just numbers and competitors
    • How context and anchoring shape customer willingness to pay
    • The power of storytelling and crafting a premium client experience
    • Finding and marketing to clients who value your expertise
    • Aligning your brand and service level with premium pricing
    • When it’s okay to be the affordable option—and when it’s not

    If you’re ready to move your expertise out of the “supermarket aisle” and into the “airport lounge,” this episode is for you.

    From "Crazy Train" to Calm Sanctuary: What Ozzy Osbourne Taught Me About Windows & Life

    This ain't your usual window treatment podcast, folks. But then again, I'm not your usual window guy. This week, we're doing a deep dive into something unexpected: the passing of a legend, Ozzy Osbourne. His music—the soundtrack to my youth—revealed some profound truths about the spaces we create and the lives we live.

    Join me, Roger, as we peel back the layers (pun intended) on how rock anthems relate to the smooth power of motorized shades, and how a "Shot in the Dark" isn't just a haunting melody, but a reminder of the sanctuary blackout shades can create.

    In this episode, we'll explore:

    • The "Crazy Train" of Transformation: How smart home automation brings instant change to your space, just like a classic riff electrifies a stadium.
    • Finding Sanctuary in the "Shot in the Dark": The unexpected peace and protection that comes from truly dark, personal spaces.
    • How to "Bark at the Moon" with Your Decor: Embracing bold, unapologetic design choices that make your home scream you.
    • The Feeling of "Mama, I'm Coming Home": Crafting spaces that truly feel like a sanctuary, a place where you can finally drop your guard.
    • The Drama of "Mr. Crowley": Layered treatments that bring theatrical elegance and refined rebellion to your windows.
    • "No More Tears": How good design can be therapy, helping us reclaim our space, release what holds us back, and find healing.

    It's about more than just fabric and function. It's about identity, memory, and giving your home—and your life—its own unapologetic volume. Because if Ozzy taught me anything, it's that sometimes the most profound lessons come from the loudest places.

    This isn't just about music or windows. It's about showing up. Living loud. And transforming your space, one powerful decision at a time.

    Description:
    In this episode, Roger shares a story that cost a colleague $3,200 — and it all comes down to one thing: charging a measuring fee. If you’ve ever been ghosted by a client after doing a site visit, this one’s for you. We dig into why collecting a fee upfront protects your time, your expertise, and your bottom line.

    Roger also shares extra insights not included in the blog post, like how this simple strategy filters out tire-kickers and attracts serious clients who value your work. Whether you're a seasoned installer or just getting started, this episode might be the mindset shift you need.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn:

    • Why offering free site visits is not a smart business move
    • How a $3,200 mistake taught this dealer to set boundaries
    • Scripts and strategies for introducing your measuring fee
    • The surprising benefits of charging upfront
    • How this fee builds credibility and trust — not resistance

    ✨ Bonus: Roger shares exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and real-life client interactions that aren’t in the blog.
