Balancing leadership, family, and chaos isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, action, and authenticity.

In Episode 205 of The Profitable Cleaner Podcast, we sit down with Amy, COO of Marrow, wife, and mom of four, to unpack the lessons she’s learned from rafting rivers, running companies, and raising a family.

From guiding whitewater rapids to managing multiple businesses, Amy has mastered the art of chaos management — and her principle of “hesitation is devastation” applies as much to life and leadership as it does to rafting.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• ✅ Why hesitation is devastation in both business and life
• ✅ How to build an honest, evolving partnership in work and family
• ✅ The myth of “work-life balance” (and why tension is more accurate)
• ✅ How to conserve energy in the right spaces so you can lead with impact
• ✅ Legacy vs. lifestyle: how to define success on your own terms
• ✅ Why giving yourself time to think is essential as a leader
• ✅ How authenticity attracts the right people — and filters out the wrong ones

This conversation is equal parts practical and personal, designed for leaders in the cleaning and facility services industry who are navigating growth, family, and purpose.

👉 Watch now and learn why the best leaders lead with action, truth, and authenticity.
