ABOUT THE WHOA GNV PODCAST: THE PODCAST BRINGING YOU BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT MAKE YOU GO WHOA!

WELCOME TO GAINESVILLE’S PODCAST.  

https://linktr.ee/whoagnv

Happy belated Halloween everyone! I am absolutely stoked for today's episode, and what a perfect time for some spooky guests. For the first time EVER we have live animals in the studio. This week we welcomed Bob Guerriere and his two “Maxx Pink” Argentine Boas to the show and it was such an awesome encounter. Bob goes into detail about how he got into the reptile business and all about the snakes he brought onto the show. The niche of reptile breeding is super unique and Bob is one of the best in the business. You won't believe it...but I hold both of the snakes that Bob brought with him. We even got to name one of them Scooter! Although the team was a little on edge, recording this episode was loads of fun especially with the critters slithering around. These snakes and everything about Bob’s business are super interesting, and I cannot wait for you to experience this thrilling episode!

ABOUT THE WHOA GNV PODCAST: THE PODCAST BRINGING YOU BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT MAKE YOU GO WHOA!

WELCOME TO GAINESVILLE’S PODCAST.

Do you think that vaccines should be mandated? There’s definitely been a lot of conversations and opinions on the topic. [Answer our 30-second questionnaire here and give us your input: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/whoagnvvaxquestions]  

Recently, the City of Gainesville voted to mandate vaccines for city employees. Soon after, it was paused (at least for the moment). One of the people to rise up and voice his opposition was Lt. Paramedic of Gainesville Professional Firefighters, Bubba Ennis. In today’s episode, we find out why and his decision to wait on getting the COVID-19 Vaccine.  

As this podcast evolves, I want our community to get to know one another. So many people have asked me, “How are you going to grow this show beyond Gainesville?” The truth is, I don’t care if I ever do. I love Gainesville. I started this show for Gainesville. I want to build up Gainesville. Let’s pull people out of the comments of social media and encourage everyone to get to know their neighbors again. Hopefully, this podcast can help. We may not always agree with one another, but we can still respect and love one another. Let’s make that our goal.   

In this episode, we hear Bubba’s perspective and I share a bit of my own, but I understand that there are others out there. Are you a business owner/ leader that has mandated vaccines in your organization? Email me at [email protected]. I’m looking to put together another show on this topic.   

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy week ahead!
