In this episode of How I Rent It, we’re joined by Darren Randle, the founder of Houston Tents & Events. Darren’s story is a powerful example of what it really takes to launch and grow a rental business—even when the odds are stacked against you.

He started his company in January 2020, just weeks before the world shut down. What could have been the end turned into a pivot point. Darren talks about how he adapted quickly, got creative, and found new ways to serve his community during a time of massive uncertainty.

Darren also shares how a background in working with other rental companies helped him see the gaps in the industry—and how efficiency and strong systems became the backbone of his success. On top of that, he's a natural storyteller with a ton of talent, making this episode both inspiring and packed with practical advice.

If you’re starting your own rental business, trying to grow through uncertain times, or looking for ways to operate more efficiently, Darren’s journey will give you insight, encouragement, and a few laughs too.
