Let’s keep it real, business life isn’t all boring meetings and stiff suits. Behind the polished pitches and fancy titles is a whole other story!
We’re talking about the real stories, the unfiltered, uncut moments you won’t find in any polished promo video.
Behind every brand is a story—unexpected, totally entertaining, and 100% human. So here’s to the real ones: the dreamers, the grinders, the risk-takers.
Business life? It’s not what you think. It’s way more fun.

The Fun Side Of Business - The Extra Slice
Exclusive access to premium content!We follow Tori’s journey from council work and number-crunching to life in India and Thailand—the languages picked up on the fly, the paperwork that made no sense, and the people who somehow opened doors anyway. Back in Ipswich, she turns all that chaos into ISO consulting—frameworks, audits, and operations that sound super dry until you realise it’s really all about trust and clarity. We get real about the gap between the neat day rate you dream of and the messy reality of hunting clients: Google Ads, endless networking, travel time, and those stretches when your calendar just stares back at you. It’s not a pity party—it’s the honest, slightly messy truth of running your own show.
What really got us? How “normal” the extraordinary can feel from the inside. The house moves in New Zealand, border dramas, random detours—she just shrugs, and we’re hooked. That tension sparks a bigger chat: how to pick your circle, especially after years abroad, and why founders need people who get the pressure without flinching. We’re ending on a teaser: Tori’s coming back for round two, because some stories just need more air—and her tips on pricing, pipelines, and the fine art of saying no? Pure gold for anyone trying to get braver.
