Episode Summary: In this powerful episode of True Grime Stories, I sit down with cleaning industry leader and entrepreneur Jhon LeBaron, co-owner of Primavera Cleaning Services. Jhon shares how a full-blown admin team mutiny nearly derailed his business and how it led to the boldest move of his career: going 100% remote.
What started as a crisis became a catalyst for growth, freedom, and smarter operations. Jhon opens up about the systems, hiring strategy, and mindset shifts that allowed him to scale to over $3 million in revenue and lead a team from anywhere, all while prioritizing his role as a husband and father of six.
If you’re craving more time, stronger leadership, and long-term sustainability, Jhon’s story proves that freedom isn’t found by working harder—it’s found by building better systems.
