EPISODE SUMMARY

In this heartfelt Blind Audacity episode, I'm pulling back the curtains (pun intended!) on a monumental chapter in the Shades In Place story—our big move from Boston to sunny Florida! After two decades of installing custom window treatments, building relationships, and growing roots in New England, this episode shares the emotional journey of transition and expansion.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

The Boston Legacy: How closing our Massachusetts shop after nearly 20 years felt emotionally, and why Boston will always remain the foundation of our custom window treatment business
Florida Expansion: Why the Sunshine State's unique lifestyle demands more than just blinds and shades—we're expanding into motorized screens, retractable awnings, and hurricane shutters to meet our clients' needs
Team Evolution: How our dedicated professionals like Brian and Chris continue serving our loyal New England clients, while Kevin's move to Tampa created the perfect opportunity for Shades In Place to expand south
Professional Growth: My journey pursuing a Florida contractor's license to ensure we install every product with the same quality and attention to detail our clients have come to expect
Creative Renaissance: How Florida's change of pace has given me the mental space to finally write my book "Courage Attracts Luck" and revive this podcast to share more window wisdom
KEY TAKEAWAYS

"I may have moved to Florida, but Boston never moved out of me. No matter which zip code you're calling or emailing from, I've got you covered with premium window treatments. And yes—pun absolutely intended."
