Running a cleaning company is messy. Complexity creeps into sales, hiring, operations, and leadership. The real challenge? Simplifying.

In this episode of The Profitable Cleaner, we sit down with Daniel Nice - a developer, entrepreneur, and leader who has spent his career turning complex ideas into simple, actionable systems. From shipping apps at Warner Music Group to guiding startups through acquisition, Daniel has seen what separates businesses that scale from those that stall.

Now, he brings those lessons to cleaning & facility leaders — showing how authenticity, resilience, and the right systems can drive sustainable growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• ✅ Why authentic leadership attracts the right people (and filters out the wrong fit)
• ✅ How to focus on activity over outcome to win more consistently
• ✅ Why belief + hunger separate winning teams from average ones
• ✅ The role of creativity in systems (even if you’re not a “creative”)
• ✅ Why resilience comes from trying a lot of things — not waiting for the perfect playbook
• ✅ The truth about college vs. trades and preparing the next generation of talent
• ✅ How to stay grounded in faith, family, and purpose while scaling a business

Why it matters (for cleaning CEOs & operators)

Scaling isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing the right things, simply and consistently. This episode will challenge how you think about leadership, hiring, and growth — and give you tools to run a cleaning company that thrives for years to come.
