In this week's Bobcast I got a chance to sit down and catch up with the top dog that is  "TicTac" better know as Tony Taylor, based over on the Isle of Man. In my opinion one of the best decorators/sprayers in the business. One of my personal favorite ones to date where we delve in and chat about various topics such as staying busy during the lockdown, apprenticeship initiations, Facebook stalking customers, and hitchhiking to Gibraltar on Nutella and the bones of your arse, and many more. You know the drill by now, get a brew, pin back your lugs and give it a listen and give us (@brothersofthebrushinsta and Tony) your feedback by hash-tagging #brothersofthebrushpodcast or #bobcast on Insta, and well give you a shout-out back!

In this week's Bobcast, recorded during the  COVID-19 epidemic, we're going back down under. This time it's Chris Roberts of Nomad Painting & Decorating, based out of Brisbane. Now for me, Chris is smashing it from first discovering Australia eight years ago travelling with his partner in a new relationship starting just prior to their travels, to starting a successful business employing staff and in the progress of growing successfully.
 Jump in and join me and Chris as we dig into such things as "small-town mentality", knowing your market, the divide between employed and self-employed and being penniless travelling across Australia.
