Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 7: Matt Mutton on Growing His Family's Tent Rental Business
Q: What mistakes do you see new rental businesses make, and what would you advise to someone starting out?
Act bigger than you are from day one, maintain professional operations even if small, and be selective with discounts to avoid undercutting profitability; fake confidence until you actually build scale.
Episode 7: Matt Mutton on Growing His Family's Tent Rental Business
Q: What does your office and sales team look like today, and how do you manage leads and marketing?
Three full-time salespeople plus Matt handles key client relationships; the showroom showcases settings, and they rely on a strong website and disciplined lead management instead of heavy paid advertising.
Episode 9: The Tent Guy (Adam Keller) on Turning a Side Hustle into Tent All Rent All
Q: What was your approach to growth and investing in equipment?
Stick to the basics first and test new items on the website before buying large quantities; focus on efficiency and only invest in gear that truly moves the needle after market testing.
Episode 9: The Tent Guy (Adam Keller) on Turning a Side Hustle into Tent All Rent All
Q: How did you fund the initial setup?
I took a $20,000 loan, put my truck up as part of the funding, bought the basics like 20 wides, tables, chairs, and some add-ons, and then started taking bookings to fuel expansion.
Episode 9: The Tent Guy (Adam Keller) on Turning a Side Hustle into Tent All Rent All
Q: What were you doing before you started your business?
I started right after college, worked around tents, then joined a local rental company for a summer to learn, while fretting over a small loan and slowly building from a few chairs and tables into a full fleet.
