Today, I interview Junie Moon, who grew up bright and bubbly, until one look from her mother made her feel unloved. Her free spirit met a controlling household where even a glance could silence her. By eight, she had learned to dim her light just to stay safe. Being cheerful and expressive got her labeled, and rejected.Bullied through middle school, silent in high school, Junie carried this fear of being seen well into adulthood. It shaped her relationships, her body, and her belief that her voice didn't matter.But something changed. A moment came when she couldn't stay quiet any longer—not for herself, and not for the person she loved most. That moment set her on the path to healing.Today, Junie helps women uncover the hidden fears that silence them and teaches them how to build trust in themselves again, so they can speak up, show up, and call in lasting love.__________________Junie Moon is the CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, bestselling author, women's empowerment leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach. For over 30 years, she has helped thousands of women claim their birthright: the freedom to love themselves without apology, and attract lifelong, soul-aligned love because of it.Her work is grounded in transformation from the inside out. Junie guides women in midlife on a powerful journey of self-discovery, where the focus isn't just on finding a partner—it's about building deep self-trust, confidence, and inner alignment.

Jay shares his personal experience, as well as his pastoral perspective, on the mental, emotional, and spiritual costs of being chronically online. The issue is not the existence of technology, but how subtly and deeply it forms us into distracted, image-obsessed and ultimately hopeless people. The point of the conversation is to remind us that our digital tools are using us often more than we are using them. Our attention is being bought and sold, and the cost is our contentment, resilience, and joy.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
In a world shaped by online personas, it's easy to mistake what looks good for what really is and emotion for identity. We have been conditioned to scroll through the highlight reels of others' lives, unaware of the building loneliness and pain that is masked by the doom scroll of online life. But the truth is that social media is not truly social, a fact we must remember because while it promises connection it usually delivers isolation. That is the work of a follower of Jesus in the digital landscape.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

What happens when a client calls about your 24-hour or 48-hour cleaning guarantee? This question surfaces regularly in cleaning business communities, and for good reason—it tests your operations, employee management, and customer service philosophy all at once.The cleaning business model thrives on trust and satisfaction guarantees, but the logistics can get complicated, especially when working with part-time staff who may not be available for immediate re-cleans. We tackle this challenge head-on, offering practical solutions for business owners caught between client expectations and employee scheduling constraints.At the heart of successful re-clean management is clear communication. Your cleaning technicians need to understand from day one that honoring your satisfaction guarantee is a non-negotiable part of the job. When customers report missed items, your response must be swift and solution-oriented—not focused on convenience or blame. The responsibility ultimately falls on you as the business owner to ensure customer satisfaction, even if that means grabbing your supplies and handling the re-clean yourself.We explore the proper way to address quality control issues with employees, emphasizing the importance of documented verbal warnings followed by written documentation if problems persist. This approach balances accountability with respect, avoiding the pitfalls of public shaming that can damage team morale and company culture.The most successful cleaning business owners recognize that client complaints aren't just problems to solve—they're opportunities to demonstrate your commitment to excellence. By personally addressing re-cleans when necessary, you transform potential negative experiences into powerful relationship-building moments that can actually strengthen client loyalty.Ready to transform how you handle re-cleans?

The word today is love. Not the polished, curated kind we post about online, but the messy, risky, vulnerable kind that can only happen in the real world. In today's video, John reminds us: the opposite of love isn't hate—it's self-centric despair. It's the temptation to retreat inward, escape discomfort, and protect ourselves from heartbreak. But real love demands we show up, with our weaknesses, awkwardness, and all.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

This week, it's all about the front end — microphones for voiceover.

From self-noise to low-end roll-off, polar patterns to punchy midrange, we break down what makes a great mic for VO, including:

Tackling popcorn ceilings might seem like a straightforward cleaning task, but as experienced professionals reveal in this candid discussion, it's anything but simple. These textured ceilings, popular in the 1970s as apartment sound barriers, present unique challenges that can quickly turn a standard cleaning job into an expensive nightmare.The conversation dives deep into why popcorn ceiling cleaning requires specialized techniques and careful consideration. Most importantly: keep it dry! Attempting to clean these ceilings with liquid or a damp mop will likely result in ceiling damage, as the plaster material easily absorbs moisture and begins to crumble. This creates a cascade of falling debris that can damage floors, furniture, and your business reputation. The proper approach involves gentle vacuuming with specialized attachments and extraordinary patience, making this a job that's not scalable for teams but rather an owner-operator specialty service.Pricing strategies and liability protection take center stage as the hosts emphasize the importance of charging appropriately for this labor-intensive work. Starting at a minimum of $250 and potentially reaching $1,000 or more depending on square footage, this isn't a service to undervalue. Smart business owners will have clients sign liability waivers, create detailed equipment checklists, and carefully track time spent on these specialty jobs. Understanding your insurance coverage and deductibles becomes critical, as damage resulting from improper popcorn ceiling cleaning could easily exceed standard deductible amounts of $1,500-5,000. The message is clear: if you lack experience with popcorn ceilings, either decline these jobs or practice extensively in your own home before offering this as a commercial service. Your business reputation and financial stability may depend on making the right choice.Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

This week on The Pro Audio Suite, we dig into the lab-tested results of our very own PASport VO, the portable audio interface designed for voice talent and podcasters. George took it to a respected LA repair shop for an independent bench test, and the results? Minus 89 dB of self-noise. Translation: it's dead quiet. The Jasmine™ preamps inside impressed the pros, even when compared to far more expensive gear. And the design? Tough, tiny, and travel-ready. But here's the kicker: unless there's enough demand, there won't be another production run. If you missed out the first time, now's your chance to change that. We want this thing back in production, and Michael at CEntrance needs to hear it from you.

Trust forms the foundation of every successful client-cleaner relationship, but what happens when that trust is deliberately tested? Pink flamingos under rugs, coins beneath trash cans, and objects hidden in unexpected places aren't random occurrences—they're "little red herrings," deliberately placed by clients to verify your cleaning thoroughness.This growing trend, inspired by viral TikTok videos, represents a troubling shift in client attitudes toward cleaning professionals. As business owners who've built systems designed to deliver consistent quality, encountering these tests feels disrespectful and undermines the professional relationship we work hard to establish.Drawing from decades of experience in retail quality control and professional cleaning services, we explore effective ways to handle these situations with grace. Whether you choose to gather all test items in a visible location, document them with photos, or directly address the behavior, maintaining your dignity while setting appropriate boundaries is crucial. For persistent testers, implementing substantial price increases often helps clients reconsider their approach—or self-select out of your service roster.The conversation extends beyond simple cleaning techniques to the fundamental respect that should exist in any service relationship. After all, would these clients appreciate someone intentionally making their own workplace responsibilities more difficult? Probably not.Have you encountered the little red herring phenomenon in your cleaning business? We'd love to hear your experiences and how you've navigated these challenging client situations.

Pareto's Principle might sound like dry economic theory, but it's actually one of the most powerful tools cleaning business owners can harness to transform their operations and profitability. In this eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into how the 80-20 rule (first observed by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in 1896) applies specifically to cleaning businesses today.Ever wonder why some cleaning companies struggle while others thrive with seemingly less effort? The answer often lies in recognizing that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your inputs. We unpacks how this manifests across every aspect of your business—from discovering which clients truly drive your revenue to identifying which marketing channels actually deliver customers.The most fascinating (and perhaps uncomfortable) revelation? Your legacy clients—those who've been with you since day one—might actually be your most expensive relationships to maintain. We challenge the emotional attachments that keep you tied to underperforming accounts with a simple thought experiment: "If you broke your leg tomorrow, would these clients continue paying you while you recover?" The answer reveals the true nature of these business relationships.Beyond client management, we explore practical applications of the principle to marketing, time management, service offerings, and team building. You'll learn why specialized add-on services (like $35 sheet changes) can be gold mines, how to identify which 20% of your efforts produce 80% of your complaints, and why building a truly scalable cleaning business requires recognizing these patterns.Ready to work smarter rather than harder? Listen now to discover how to analyze your business through the Pareto lens and make strategic decisions that dramatically increase profitability while reducing unnecessary work.

What if the path to peace isn't avoiding hardship, but embracing it? In this episode, we explore what it means to “love the mat”—to welcome the falls, failures, and discomforts that come with a life of faith and growth. Drawing from scripture and insights from psychologist Reid Wilson, we see that real strength is formed not in comfort, but in repeated encounters with challenge. Jesus never promised we wouldn't hit the mat—He promised we wouldn't be alone. When we stop fearing failure and start trusting His presence in the middle of it, we begin to live with an untroubled heart.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Force of Nature represents a revolutionary shift in how we approach cleaning – both for professionals and everyday consumers. This groundbreaking product transforms simple household ingredients – water, salt, and vinegar – into hypochlorous acid, a powerful antimicrobial agent that kills 99% of germs while remaining gentle enough for virtually any surface.For professional cleaners constantly navigating specialty surfaces like marble, granite, teak, and bamboo, Force of Nature offers a compelling solution to the ever-present challenge of finding safe, effective products. The versatility is remarkable – from kitchen counters to bathroom fixtures, children's toys to pet areas, and even toothbrushes. The absence of chemical fragrances makes it particularly valuable for clients with sensitivities, while its effectiveness against pathogens satisfies even the most hygiene-conscious customers.Beyond practical cleaning applications, Force of Nature represents a meaningful business opportunity. The company offers specialized business packages for professional cleaning services, providing a competitive advantage in marketing eco-friendly, "green" cleaning solutions. In an industry where chemical exposure can lead to sensitivities over time, this gentler alternative helps protect the health of cleaning professionals without sacrificing cleaning power.The initial investment includes a starter kit with the electrolysis device, though the ongoing costs involve just the simple capsules containing the basic ingredients. For cleaning businesses looking to differentiate themselves and expand their client base to include the increasingly eco-conscious consumer, Force of Nature offers both practical cleaning advantages and compelling marketing opportunities.

Ron Papke's journey from addiction and homelessness to building a thriving cleaning restoration business is nothing short of inspiring. With just $2,500 and a few lawn mowers, he laid the foundation for what would grow into a million-dollar company specializing in water restoration, mold remediation, air duct cleaning, and more.What makes Ron's success stand out is his mastery of organic marketing—achieving massive growth without relying on hefty advertising budgets. His company's leap from $500,000 to its first million in revenue came largely from a simple yet powerful strategy: customer yard signs. By placing signs at every job site and leaving them up until a client objected (which almost never happened), he created an unstoppable local presence. The proof? His business boasts over 700 Google reviews, while his nearest competitor has just 40.Beyond marketing, Ron's business approach is full of game-changing strategies. His innovative “scheduling close” technique shifts the focus from price to value by first asking if customers qualify for special discounts (like first responders, teachers, and veterans) before offering time-sensitive pricing incentives. He also requires a $50 deposit on every job, which not only reduces last-minute cancellations but reinforces his company's professionalism.Ron is a firm believer that strong communication skills are key to success—so much so that he recommends every business owner join Toastmasters. Not only does it refine public speaking, but it also serves as a powerful networking tool with management-level professionals. He also leans heavily into video marketing, stating, “People trust videos on a whole other level.” His email campaigns are equally strategic, with segmented messaging that tracks engagement to fine-tune follow-ups.Perhaps one of Ron's most impactful business practices is how he nurtures relationships with referral sources. Whether it's insurance agents or property managers, he keeps his business top of mind through thoughtful, memorable gestures—homemade jerky, bottles of liquor that double as constant reminders of his brand, and seasonal gifts that create natural touchpoints throughout the year.Want to revolutionize your cleaning business?

Every cleaning business owner eventually faces the dreaded moment when they must decide whether to keep struggling with a difficult employee or let them go. This raw, candid conversation dives deep into the realities of employee termination, offering practical wisdom for those agonizing over toxic workplace situations. We have all worked in a toxic environment at one point in our working careers.We also share the precise warning signs that indicate it's time to part ways with staff members – from the employee who consistently gives "underpaid vibes" complaints to those who damage client relationships through poor communication. The unmistakable red flag? There is also a reference to Dan Kennedy, ad copy guru, he has a famous saying for when it's time to part ways with a client's that mis behave. "When you find yourself waking up three mornings in a row thinking about an employee problem. As the saying goes, if they're consuming that much mental space and you're not sleeping together, it's time for them to go."The cornerstone of successful termination is proper documentation. We walk through exactly what this means: starting with verbal warnings (which you must document in your calendar), followed by written documentation, and finally termination if behaviors don't improve. Without this crucial paper trail, you're vulnerable to unemployment claims that can significantly increase your tax burden. Beyond the legal considerations, we explore the human elements of termination – conducting the conversation in a public place rather than your home office, ensuring you have a witness present, providing final payment properly documented as "last and final pay," and maintaining the employee's dignity throughout the process. Your approach during these difficult moments not only protects your business legally but preserves your reputation in the community.Listen for crucial distinctions between handling W-2 employees versus 1099 contractors, state-specific employment laws you must know, and strategies for preventing problem employees from contaminating your entire team culture. Managing staff effectively isn't just about finding great cleaners – it's about creating systems that protect your business when relationships don't work out.This is not the book that mentions the Dan S Kennedy quote, but it is an interesting topic: https://amzn.to/4ld7Owg or here: https://amzn.to/4iKZp1cSend us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Erica Paynter is the brains behind My Virtual Bookkeeper, a bookkeeping firm for cleaning companies, and the creator of Clean Co.

In this message, John speaks to those facing anxiety and heartbreak, urging them to “not let your heart be troubled,” because love—true, sacrificial love—is the only way to live with peace in a troubled world. Rooted in Jesus' command to “love one another as I have loved you,” John draws on Scripture, personal stories, and cultural references—from Inside Out and Saving Private Ryan to ancient Roman values—to show that the most transformative kind of love is the one that suffers willingly for others. Unlike Greco-Roman ideals that reserved sacrifice for the worthy, Jesus offers a love that dies for the unworthy, changing the meaning of suffering and friendship forever. Whether through a friend's call, a stranger's kindness, or Christ's death on the cross, we are invited to live in love and be shaped by it.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Today's reflection from John centers on the theme of joy—not as fleeting pleasure or a product of desire, but as the deep, lasting joy that Jesus offers. Speaking on the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus emphasizes joy more than ever, urging his followers to remain in his love, trust God, and obey his command to love one another. Real joy, John explains, is often found not by pursuing it directly but by living in love, in connection, and in the presence of God. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and personal stories, he reminds us that joy is a gift already at our door—not something to merely talk about, but something to live.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In this message from John 15:9–10, we're invited to remain in God's love even when trouble hits. Drawing on James 1 and personal stories, the talk explores how challenges—like criticism, stress, or a flooded bathroom—can either cause us to resist and ruminate or become moments of spiritual growth if we welcome them as friends. Instead of stuffing emotions or avoiding discomfort, we're encouraged to abide with Jesus in the present moment, trusting that trials are a way to build endurance and deepen our character. The simple practice? When trouble hits, pause and say, “Welcome, friend.”Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

John Ortberg invites us into a gentle, grounded reflection on Jesus' words from John 15:4–8 — “Abide in me.” It's not about trying harder or achieving more, but about learning to rest our minds and hearts in God's presence. John encourages us to let go of tension, notice where our thoughts dwell, and choose to place them in the love, peace, and life of Jesus. Fruitfulness, he says, begins on the inside — love, joy, peace, patience — and flows out from abiding, not from effort. With a quiet and humble image of the marsh hen building its nest on “the greatness of God,” John helps us see that we too can root ourselves in something steady and true, even in a messy or uncertain world. Today can be a quiet adventure in abiding.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

The word for today is: Pruning. In today's episode, John Ortberg invites us into a deep and honest reflection on what it means to live with an untroubled heart—even in a troubled world. Joined by Susie Lipps, he explores Jesus' words from John 15: “I am the true vine… and my Father is the gardener.” Together, they unpack the spiritual practice and painful beauty of pruning—how God lovingly cuts away what is unnecessary so we can bear real, lasting fruit. With wisdom from C.S. Lewis, Dale Bruner, and ancient voices like Irenaeus, this teaching reframes hardship, loss, and frustration as invitations to deeper growth. Whether it's traffic delays or soul-level disappointment, this episode will help you see where God may be shaping you through it all.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In this honest and deeply thoughtful conversation, Susie Lipps and John Ortberg sit down to explore the real weight and meaning of Good Friday. They unpack the political pressure, religious tension, and personal cost surrounding Jesus' final hours — not just as a historical moment, but as a mirror to our own lives. With compassion and clarity, they challenge us to sit in the discomfort of the cross, to wrestle with why Jesus was really killed, and to see how this ancient story still confronts power, pride, and injustice today. If you've ever wondered what makes Good Friday truly “good,” this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!
