About the AWC Magazine - Issue 272

ISSUE TEASER:

As 2025 draws to a close, “Reflections from the AWC Family” offers a moment to slow down and reconnect with the spirit behind American Window Cleaner Magazine. Editor Lacy Turner gathers voices from around the world, writers, contributors, and ambassadors who share how AWC has shaped their journeys, strengthened their businesses, and fostered a true sense of community. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the relationships and shared purpose that make AWC far more than just pages in print.

In “Waving the Flag, Sharing the Light,” readers discover how one window cleaner transformed a simple idea into a powerful act of service. Chris Eckstein of Freedom Window Cleaning turned a season of reflection into a community-driven installation project that honors veterans and brings neighbors together, demonstrating that meaningful impact is built through consistent, purposeful action.

Meanwhile, “Reflections on 2025” finds Dan Wagner looking back on a landmark year with the perspective that comes from nearly four decades in the trade. As he nears 40 years in the industry, Dan shares candid insights on leadership, growth, releasing control, and redefining success both in business and beyond the bucket.
