Before the “no agenda, have a few drinks, let's see where this goes” episode, there was the first one.

My first time on the Reptile Rejects Podcast was recorded on December 14, and it's a great listen if you want the story behind Cornel's World: how it started, how it grew, and what it takes to keep a reptile business moving in the real world.

We also dig into my involvement with the Western Canadian Reptile Expo: why we do it, what goes into running a show, and why building a solid community matters as much as building solid enclosures.

Watch the episode

This episode is available on YouTube or your favourite podcast platforms. If you've ever wondered how Cornel's World came to be (or what it takes to help run a major reptile expo), this one's for you.

Reptile Rejects with Greg and Chris, the first episode

What we talked about

  • My background and how I ended up in the reptile world (and why I never escaped).

  • Cornel's World, building enclosures, serving keepers, and what “quality” actually means day to day.

  • The Western Canadian Reptile Expo, the behind-the-scenes work, the goals, and why community matters.

  • Real-world reptile business talk, the good, the hard, and the stuff nobody sees on Instagram.

If you've been following our builds or attending the expo, this episode connects a lot of dots and gives you a clearer picture of what goes on behind the curtain.

Want the sequel? No agenda, no filter, probably too honest is the second round.
