About this listen

 On this episode of the Huge Transformations Podcast, host Sid Graef sits down with Molly Moran, founder of green sweep, an eco-friendly house cleaning company in Albuquerque, New Mexico that she built from cleaning toilets herself to a multi–seven-figure business with 35+ employees. Molly shares how a real-life asthma-triggering cleaning experience led to her “green” positioning, and how her original dream (inspired by The 4-Hour Workweek) evolved into building a company designed for profit, impact, and freedom. Molly breaks down the moves that helped her scale: staying focused instead of chasing extra services, investing aggressively in marketing + recruiting, and constantly pressure-testing pricing to support better wages and a more professional customer experience. She also talks leadership—why shifting from “managing” to coaching your team creates better outcomes—and how Profit First became a turning point in escaping “entrepreneurial poverty.” Finally, Molly previews CleanCon in Indianapolis (a residential-only conference built around connection, innovation, and education) and shares the real challenge she’s working through now: protecting space and energy while operating at a higher level across multiple businesses.

Sid Graef: Hey everybody, it’s Sid with the Huge Transformations podcast, and today we’ve got a really great interview episode and conversation with my friend Molly Moran. Molly Moran runs a significant—uh—house… I can’t talk today, but I think you’ll get the point. She’s got a house cleaning company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She grew it from scratch, from cleaning toilets to a robust multi–seven-figure business with 35 employees. She’s got her own podcast, The Live Bright Show. She has a coaching and training program called Live Bright, and she’s hosting an event. She runs marathons, and she’s got two really cool dogs. But you’re gonna enjoy our conversation ’cause it’s filled with insights and advice that she got early on and transformed the way she operated her business. So with that, I hope you enjoy the conversation with Molly as much as I did. Thanks for joining us today. Sid Graef: Hey everybody. Thanks for joining us on the Huge Transformations show.

Thanks for being on the show. Molly Moran: I’m great. I’m so happy to be here, Sid. Thanks for having me. Sid Graef: Cool. And I love your headshot. It just says “Bright” at the front and it shows like, “Let’s live bright.” So for those of you that have never met or heard of Molly—Molly’s from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Can you spell that for me please? Molly Moran: Oh, like for real? No. Sid Graef: The founder of green sweep, which is a substantial eco-friendly house cleaning business in Albuquerque. You host The Live Bright Show and you have the Live Bright community and you coach people and help them. And this speaks to me so—Molly, you help people make more money, have more fun, and have more freedom. And I am a freedom hound. That’s my biggest motivator. And fun comes right after that. And money is third, but still important. So we’re gonna talk about that some. And this year you and a handful of friends are hosting a live conference, a get-together in— is it Indianapolis? Molly Moran: It is, yes. Indianapolis, in March, called CleanCon...
