    Mike Cupit / The Decorators Forum

    This week on The Decorators’ Den Podcast, Baz and Sean are joined by Mike Cupit, founder of The Decorators Forum UK. Mike talks about his journey into the painting and decorating trade, including the decision to leave his job in a crisp factory and take his first steps into the industry. He shares how he learned the skills that shaped his career, the lessons he’s taken from running his own decorating business, and shares a wealth of knowledge gained from years in the trade. The conversation also covers The Decorators Forum UK, now the biggest decorator forum in the UK, and the role it plays in supporting decorators across the industry. As a self-confessed product geek, Mike also discusses his approach to testing tools and materials, how he decides what’s worth recommending, and his thoughts on how the trade has evolved over the years.

    Podcast VS Podcast - Russell Payne

    This week on The Decorators’ Den Podcast, it’s an extra-long episode and a big one. Baz and Sean are joined by a massive guest — Russ Payne, aka The Talking Tradesman.

We dive into what led Russ into the trade at just eight years old, how he built his business and sharpened his skills, including the story of one very picky customer. We also explore the birth of The Talking Tradesman Podcast and the mission behind the platform that continues to support and inspire people across the trade every day. You can find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon — or just say, “Alexa, play The Decorators’ Den.” An absolute privilege to have Russ on — this is one you don’t want to miss. 🎙️

    Christmas Special - Dyslexic Painter

    Christmas Special Episode This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Josh, better known as The Dyslexic Painter, for our Christmas Special episode. Josh talks openly about his journey in the trade, living and working with dyslexia, and how he’s built his career through site work, spraying, and learning the ropes the hard way. He also shares the impact of his “Master Yoda” — the mentor who helped shape his skills, mindset, and approach to the job. We cover site life, pressure on big projects, running a business, and how social media has changed the way he works and connects with others in the trade. A proper honest conversation to round off the year. Thanks for listening throughout the year —Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Baz and Sean

  7. James - Dragonfly Decorating

    12/22/2025

    James - Dragonfly Decorating

    This week on The Decorators’ Den We’re joined by James Young of Dragonfly Decorating for a proper deep dive into his journey — from early life and taking a longer road into the trade, to the fallout that nearly derailed everything and the eventual reconciliation that helped shape who he is today. James opens up about the story behind Dragonfly Decorating, what the name really means, and takes us through the good, the bad, and the properly ugly jobs that come with running a decorating business. We also get into the much-loved Brush Brothers bromance, how it started, and why having the right people around you matters in this trade. The conversation takes a more serious turn as James speaks honestly about addiction and sobriety, the impact it’s had on his life and work, and offers genuine advice for anyone in the trade who might be struggling. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also far too much inappropriate laughter, a few moments where things almost go off the rails, and an unexpected amount of chat about Semin — the new skimming product we absolutely did not plan to discuss for that long… but here we are. Honest, funny, uncomfortable in places, and exactly what The Decorators’ Den is all about.
