The Fun Side Of Business
This podcast is all about the people, the ones behind the brands.
We get into the real stories: the highs, the lows, and everything in between, without the polished filter.
Behind every business is a human story, full of risks, challenges, wins, and unexpected turns.
Business life? It’s not what you think.

Few people can turn carpet chat into great storytelling — but Daryl Smith, the Prince of Flooring, does it effortlessly.
We chat about his winding career path: jewellery diplomas, retail chaos, a decade in self-storage — and how it all led back to the family carpet business his dad started in ’84.
Daryl drops real-world flooring wisdom: why the right choice starts at your front door, not in a showroom; when to pick wool vs. synthetic; why underlay matters more than you think; and how home visits save you from “sample wall” overwhelm.
The stories? Gold. A wedding ring rescue, a fainting tough guy, Christmas returns, and flooring installs in the strangest spots — boats, caravans, even a treehouse. Through it all, Daryl’s vibe stays the same: honest advice, no hard sell, just pride in getting it right.
If you’re planning a home revamp (or just love a good small-biz story) this one’s for you.
