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.
The Fun Side Of Business
She Left Private Jets And Celebrities To Choose Suffolk, And Sanity

What if the “dream job” isn’t actually the dream?
This week we’re chatting with Emma Propter King, whose career has taken her from conservatoire practice rooms to celebrity contact lists and even a private 737 (casual). On paper, it’s all very glossy. In real life? Exhausting, all-consuming, and quietly wrecking everything else.
Emma tells us about her ultra-disciplined early years, before lifting the curtain on life as a PA to the mega-rich. We’re talking 24/7 availability, wild requests, Christmas-morning emergencies, and fixing couture disasters in Paris. Yes, there are famous names… but the real story is how fast “excess” becomes normal, and how much it costs in sleep, sanity, and missed life.
Then comes the plot twist: Emma steps off the jet, heads back to Suffolk, and builds a calmer, meaningful career as Head of Communications at Churchmanor Estates. Same high standards, zero private planes. She shares how those elite skills actually translate brilliantly to real-world impact—brands, websites, community, and work that ends at a sensible hour!
If you’ve ever questioned whether status is worth the stress, or dreamed about choosing peace over polish, this one’s for you.
