In this episode of the Live Bright Show, I’m excited to introduce Gerren Sprauve, founder of Clean Slate Janitorial, author, speaker, and the Blue Collar Mind Coach.

His life has been shaped by significant challenges. At just seven years old, he battled polio and paralysis, a fight that tested his strength and resilience. As he grew, he faced struggles with isolation and finding meaningful connections, often pushing people away. It wasn’t until he took the brave step to go much deeper with himself that he began to heal and rediscover his strength.

Gerren opens up about how his experiences have helped him become a more connected and authentic leader. His journey highlights the value of real-world learning and staying true to who you are as a leader, and searching for the good in everything.

His approach to life is grounded in extending grace and patience to himself, allowing him to navigate challenges with calmness. He embraces the power of breathing deeply when faced with tough situations, integrating this practice into his everyday life. Additionally, he shines a light on the untapped potential within the blue-collar industry, advocating for the recognition and harnessing of the unique strengths and talents of its workers.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation on embracing your emotions, navigating career growth, building authentic connections, and discovering the positivity in every challenge life presents!
