#54: Stop the Turnover Spiral: How Stephanie Built a Drama-Free Dream Team

Hiring doesn’t have to be painful or regretful.

In this episode, ZenMaid’s Stephanie Pipkin shares the exact hiring system she built to train and retain a 7-figure cleaning team without complaints, micromanagement, or drama. You’ll hear the hard lessons behind her transition from solo cleaner to true CEO, and how she rebuilt her business with freedom, boundaries, and a culture that runs itself.

This isn’t theory. It’s the actual step-by-step hiring process Stephanie used to go from overwhelmed to in control, and she’s handing it over to you.

If you’re tired of wasting time on interviews that go nowhere, struggling to find people who stay, or constantly jumping back into the field... this episode will shift everything.
