What you do with your sticker is your business, but it is our business to make sure everybody gets one!!

Episode 99 drops today at noon EST where I sit down with my old friend Brian Kaczmarczyk of Reptile Deli for basically what is a master class on reptile business development 101. I’ve known Brian for almost 15 years and have watched him grow his business from a storage pod to a 25,000 square foot facility in a state where they make it almost impossible for a small business to succeed, let alone grow!

Plus a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame with the Pacific North West’s own Justin Brill of Stoneage Ball Pythons.

Stop by and have a little fun. Premiering today 5/15/23 at noon only on the Snakes and the Fatman YouTube Channel. Do me a favor while you’re there and hit that like and subscribe button!
