Another Sneak Peak.

A sneak peak

I don’t normally post to this blog very much, reason being is I am not a writer, if I were I would be writing and not making videos. I felt the need to do so tonight for a couple of reasons, 1st one being well its been a long time, 2nd was concerning reports I hear of what is being said about me and Daily Reptile News. First of all I am not going to mention any names or quotes other than to say the majority of these reports are do to a personal conflict. I have never responded to said conflict because after careful review with counsel It’s believed this is just an immature game and I refuse to play games. I take what I do very seriously and if that dose not show then well that’s not my problem. People who follow me do so because not only do they want to keep up on current events but also want to just have an awesome time taking part in the world of reptiles whether it be keeping exotics, field herping, filming, photographing, writing about or just interested in. I do NOT believe people follow me to hear details on personal conflicts, especially when it is as ridicules as some of them are. If I thought that were the case I would start a special YouTube show to talk about them. It saddens me that these conflicts have to even take place. My dream is to unite people for the love of reptiles not separate people so having any of said conflicts is a direct conflict of why I started doing what I do. If anyone wants to have a problem with me well then I say that it’s their problem, if anyone wants to take anything they hear at more than face value then again unfortunately that is there problem, a few have chosen to do this unfortunately but I am happy to say most have not. Most people see the passion I have in what I do and understand it enough to know that we don’t live in a perfect world and yes contrary to what you think myself and or DRN is not perfect ether. I post links to my sources for every single story I talk about, Every day the show airs the website has all the pertinent links, videos exc exc, I don’t expect ANYONE to take what I say as law so I do this so everyone can read for themselves, check my fact, draw their own conclusions and yes even correct me when I am wrong, My hope is that everyone will not just believe everything that is said but will check and recheck, I will continue to ignore haters and not bother responding to their games as doing so only takes focus away from what I am doing every day and that is far to important than anything that anyone thinks about me. Again I would hope everyone understands and anyone who believes in what I am doing steps up to the plate when they hear anything bad. I don’t want anyone to start any problems over it but just stepping up and saying “I like DRN” is plenty enough. At this point this is just information for you to take and ponder, I do not let any of it bother beyond laughing about it however I truly hope it dose not just make me quit all together which is what the ultimate goal of haters is. After all I am not hear to play games I am hear to unite people.

would also like to ask that no one email, message, call or stop by asking about said haters, things that are, have been, were said or anything. Its a dead issue to me and not worth my time to deal with it. In closing I would like that thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart who continue to follow me and watch as well as enjoy the work I do. You guys and gals are who make this all possible and drive me to continue bettering the plan each and everyday. I greatly look forward to seeing what the future holds and living it with all of you. You people are awesome, stay thirsty my friends.

So its no doubt that I have been torn over which way to take DRN for a while now. The few things  I  know is it MUST evolve in order to grow but at the same time a good share of viewers will only deal with so much evolution before losing interest so that has been what my work has involved for some time, which way to take it and how far to push it.

DRN has had good times and bad times through the past year and a half but has always grown no matter the times. Just like the past each day I am gaining more views, more subscribers and more supporting revenue which is the ultimate goal, My idea for this blog post is not only to create content in a blog that I have greatly neglected as of late but also go over a couple of options that we are looking at for the near future.

Those that have followed my FaceBook posts may have observed me mention a new studio a couple of times last week, this is true, DRN is looking at the near completion of a new studio to film in that is bigger, better and badder than the current place. The new studio will allow for so many more options while filming including a larger green screen, 2,000 watts of lighting. This new studio is going to happen no matter which direction we go and I am super excited about being able to finally use it. It was slated to be live by Monday’s filming but that has been pushed back a week but that’s all good, it will be all that much better. One big question is changes that include producing more than just news videos. I really put a lot of thought into this and think I am greatly reducing my potential by focusing only on news, some of you may remember the few videos I made a while back with the snakes and music. This may include making videos like that again or just in general turning on the camera any time I am working with my snakes. Now granted DRN will always be the main deal but I feel I can greatly increase my channels potential by being a “reptile everything” rather than a “news only” outlet for people of the community.

One other thing I find necessary is to look towards this whole project a little more seriously. This means taking things to the next level and treating DRN more like a business than a hobby. A lot of thought and planning has to go into this but from the beginning the idea of making a living from this project has always been a desire.
