  • Love the concept but need better audio

    Alright boys, love the theme and content in the show but listened to it in the van and sounded like I was on the blower the whole time. Really love the work guys but if we could sharpen up that audio, on to a winner 👍🏼

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Tiling Isn’t Easy | Dean Gray from DBS Tiling
Q: How do you approach pricing and securing payment?
I price based on the job's specifics, not just meters, and I've started considering deposits or staged payments to cover time and reduce risk of non-payment.
Why Tiling Isn’t Easy | Dean Gray from DBS Tiling
Q: What was the turning point that led you to seek help?
I recognized I needed to stop on my own and decided to go to rehab after a moment of realization with personal events; it wasn't easy, but it was necessary for my health and family.
Escaping the Rat Race | Alfie’s Journey to Van Life
Q: What motivated Alfie to escape the traditional trades path and pursue life on the move?
Alfie describes wanting freedom from the rat race, a more flexible lifestyle for his family, and the possibility of earning through socials as a way to fund their bus life, rather than being tied to a single house and location.
What Happens If You Don’t Have Public Liability? | Off The Job Podcast with guests Blip Insurance
Q: What's one thing you would do differently knowing about insurance?
I should have got the right insurance for the risks involved instead of just aiming for the cheapest quote.
What Happens If You Don’t Have Public Liability? | Off The Job Podcast with guests Blip Insurance
Q: What's one tip to protect your business?
Get public liability insurance because that's the big number if it goes wrong.
