What’s Underfoot is a podcast about the conversations that shape the flooring industry—before they ever hit the showroom floor.
Hosted by industry veteran, Brian Preuss, President of American Home Surfaces Group & Commercial USA, What’s Underfoot brings listeners inside candid discussions with the leaders, innovators, and decision-makers driving our industry forward. From manufacturers and suppliers to retailers and thought leaders, each episode explores what’s really happening beneath the surface of today’s flooring business.
This isn’t sales talk or surface-level trends. It’s an honest perspective on relationships, strategy, innovation, and the challenges—and opportunities—facing independent dealers in a changing market. Whether you’re focused on growth, partnerships, or staying competitive, What’s Underfoot delivers insight you can actually use.
Pull up a chair. Let’s talk about what matters—starting from the ground up.
