Join us for an exciting look into eco-friendly water features in zoos with Dan Upsher of DU Waterscapes. A long-time CAC tribe member and expert pond builder, Dan is transforming how UK zoos design aquatic habitats.

In this inspiring podcast, Dan shares stories from his work in Africa with top pond builders and how that experience led to Europe’s first Aquascape Zoo project—Tropiquaria.

Listen as Dan and Greg explore this groundbreaking achievement and reveal how sustainable water features are shaping the future of zoo design!

Aaron Faucett of Proud Ponds may be young in the business, but he’s no stranger to the realities of the industry. Like many in the CAC tribe, Aaron earned his early education in the school of hard knocks—learning lessons the hard way, making the common mistakes, and grinding through the tough times. What sets him apart, though, is how quickly he bounces back. Aaron has always been driven by a dream, and in the early days, that passion sometimes meant taking on jobs with slim margins—or even losses—just to build something bigger. But he’s never let pride get in the way of progress. He listens, adapts, and grows, taking advice from those who’ve paved the road before him.

Listening to his podcast episode with The Pond Guy is a reminder that the rocky road often teaches the most valuable lessons. It sharpens your skills, humbles your ego, and forces you to ask the right questions. Aaron’s journey isn’t just about building a business, it’s about building a life. Whether it’s implementing systems, grinding through long nights, or inviting his wife to share in the dream, he shows what it means to grow not just as an entrepreneur, but as a husband, a father, and a leader. His story is a powerful testament to resilience, humility, and the relentless pursuit of something better.
