Ep. 25 - How Quitting Alcohol Saved My 7-Figure Biohazard Cleaning Business

What happens when a business you never meant to start becomes your entire life?

At 19, Megan had no business plan, no structure, and was working three jobs just to afford her own place. She accidentally fell into cleaning, started picking up clients, and before she knew it she was faced with a decision: finish her policing degree, or go all-in on a business she never planned to build.

Fast forward a few years — Megan is running a 7-figure commercial and biohazard cleaning company.

But the road to success wasn't smooth.

She hired friends who disrespected her.
She avoided hiring an accountant and nearly paid the price.
And the pressure of entrepreneurship pushed her into heavy drinking until she realized alcohol was the thing holding her back from everything she wanted.

In this episode, Megan shares the raw truth behind her journey — the mistakes that nearly destroyed her business, the moment she chose sobriety, and why building a company around your values, not your team's, is the only way to scale without losing control.
