2025/10/10
Send a text
Every time the phrase “recurring revenue” is brought up in industry circles, it seems like every suggestion is non wildlife related… General pest services, snow plowing, pressure washing, lawn care…
In this episode I share some recurring revenue strategies that have proven to work WITHOUT having to put a plow blade on the front of your truck or tow a trailer with mowers behind you.

This week’s topic hits on the Pareto Principle of 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
At Huntsman Wildlife we use this to regularly purge our client list of problematic clients and are known to “fire” clients who are consuming more resources than what they paid us for.

I Kicked a Car Door and They Called the Cops…
2025/06/03
Send a text
I made a stupid decision to ignore a growing problem, until it was too late.
This episode explains our most recent podcast absence and my hopes are it will keep a few of you from making the same mistakes I have made the past few months.
Mental health is something not talked about in our circles enough. I am not naive enough to think this podcast is going to affect a massive change in the combined mental health of our industry, but maybe you will see a reflection of yourself in my story and start the journey to be better to yourself than you are today.
Moving on Up… when I didn’t want to (Leasing Your First Space)

Took some time off because we had to move our offices, because I pissed off our landlord, because I can be a moron sometimes. But from this unfortunate series of events out of a Lemony Snicket storyline, I have come to learn some important take-aways that might help others before they get themselves into the mess I got myself into.
