Trading Secrets – education, small business & zesty Brazilian sauce

A podcast designed to inform, inspire, and occasionally entertain anyone connected to the world of window coverings.

Whether you’re a trade professional, an interior designer, a curious homeowner, or someone who simply enjoys honest stories about business and life and the pursuit of the American Dream, this show has something for you.

The voice behind the mic? That’s me—Roger Magalhaes, founder of Shades In Place & Trading Up Consulting and a proud veteran of the window covering industry.

I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years—installer, trainer, speaker, business owner—and now, podcast host and author.

This show is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve lived, and what I’m still figuring out. No fluff, no filters—just stories and strategies that might help you on your own path.

If you like window wisdom with a Brazilian accent and the occasional bad pun… you’re definitely in the right place.

So whether you’re tuning in from a job site, your morning commute, or a sunny porch with a cup of coffee—thank you for being here. Let’s get real, get inspired, and maybe even get a little wiser (with no strings attached).
