Welcome to the Reptile Entrepreneur Podcast!

Welcome to the Reptile Entrepreneur! This is a show for anyone interested in starting a business in the reptile world or has a business and wants to hear from others what they are doing.

We’ll talk about how to come up with product idea, prototype, and test it out. We’ll talk about manufacturing and basic business management. What if your business is content? Video, audio, the written word… Yep, there is a need for good solid information on YouTube, Instagram, or any other social media site. 

Product development, Business management, Marketing, and just surviving the entrepreneurial grind.  – These will be nuts and bolts discussions about how you can start a business in the field you love.
