概要

Stories, laughs, and screw-ups...

Honest conversations about business, reinvention, and the pursuit of the American Dream — from someone who's lived all three.


Whether you're a small business owner, an entrepreneur finding your footing, a trade professional, or someone who simply loves real stories from real life — you're in the right place.


I'm your host, Roger Magalhães — Brazilian-born. Boston-bred. Florida-based. Entrepreneur, speaker, storyteller, and author of Nobody Told Me That. Founder of Shades In Place, Trading Up Consulting, and partner at BlindsOnline.com.


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 real conversations that might help you find your own place under the sun.


If you like stories with a Brazilian accent and the occasional bad pun — you're definitely in the right place.


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… with no strings attached.

    Send Us Your Questions & Feedback!Some people get into business because they love the work — they're great with their hands, they can produce something beautiful — but the business side feels like a foreign language. Other folks come straight out of Corporate America loaded with business knowledge but couldn't install a blind to save their life. Most of us are missing something.This week, Roger sits down with Jessica Harling of Behind the Design to talk about how you fill in the gaps you didn't even know you had.Jessica's a fourth-generation member of a family design business that's been running since 1936 — and she's spent the last decade helping flooring, furniture, window covering, and interior design companies fix the two things that quietly hold them back: people problems and process problems.In this conversation, Roger and Jessica get into:Why so many business owners are brilliant at their craft but stuck on the business itselfThe "easy industry" myth — and why everyone who believes it changes their mind in about 90 daysHow a former teacher and theater kid ended up coaching design-trade companies (and why observation is an underrated business skill)What a 30-day company audit actually uncovers when an outsider looks inWhy creative breaks and stepping away aren't slacking off — they're how you actually solve the problemAnd the one piece of advice from Jessica's 101-year-old great-grandmother that's worth the whole episode: "You can either complain or change. Those are your choices — and it's in your control."If you've ever felt like you've hit a ceiling you can't explain, this one's for you.🎯 A Word About Jessica's Work — Behind the DesignIf anything Jessica said hit a little too close to home — that's not an accident. Behind the Design exists for the business owner who's great at the work but knows, deep down, that something in the running of the company isn't clicking.Their tagline says it best: rock solid operations, rockstar culture. And the way they get you there comes down to three things:Recruit — Done searching for a rockstar in a stack of résumés? They help you attract real design and trade talent — installers, project managers, salespeople.Train — Onboarding feeling overwhelming? They transfer knowledge faster so your people actually succeed in their roles.Refine — Are your processes running you? They build systems that actually work — documenting your procedures, streamlining your software, and dusting off the cobwebs that are quietly costing you.And it works. One client, Pamela Cole of Ampersand Design Group, says they turned 9-10 month projects into 3-4 months. Another, Rick Baker of Galaxy Draperies, called it a process problem they didn't know they had — until Behind the Design documented the whole thing and helped them grow fast.Not sure where your bottleneck actually is?

    #27 - I Thought Partnerships Were A Trap Until I Tried One

    Twenty years in business. A book that made me rethink all of it. And a trade show moment that reminded me why I keep showing up.

    This is Season 3 of No Strings Attached — new format, same honesty — and I'm kicking it off with a personal one.

    In this episode I talk about why my wife's two phone calls in two weeks were the real reason we left Boston, what writing a book about 20 years in business actually taught me about myself, why I spent most of my life dead against partnerships (thanks, Dad) and what finally changed my mind, the power team every small business owner needs but most never build, and one moment at IWCE that proved consistency quietly does its thing — even when you're not paying attention.

    If you're a small business owner who's ever questioned a decision, avoided a partnership, or wondered if anyone's actually listening... this one's for you.

    5 Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. Pausing isn't failing — it's a strategy
    2. Reflection is one of the most underrated business tools you have
    3. Your past experience is fuel, not baggage
    4. Something that didn't work before might work now — stay open
    5. Consistency builds a room bigger than you know

    A client looked Roger dead in the eyes, check in hand, and asked — "What if I give you this and you just disappear?"

    His answer says everything about how he built his business.

    This episode is about trust — what it actually means in the window treatment trade, how long it takes to build, and how fast one bad decision can burn it down. Roger shares what it was like going from installer to dealer overnight, suddenly becoming "competition" to the very people who hired him — and why he never once crossed that line.

    We talk about the temptation installers face when a homeowner tries to cut out the dealer. The short-term money looks good. But what kind of client are you really getting? One who doesn't value relationships, doesn't respect the process, and will do the same thing to you the moment it's convenient.

    There's also a hard-earned story from Roger's early days — a house under construction, trim work that wasn't finished, shades that came back wrong. He ate the cost. Every penny. Because his name was on it.

    Twenty years later, that reputation is still paying off.

    Trust isn't something you can order on Amazon. It's built job by job, decision by decision — especially the ones nobody's watching.
