Brian reveals the mindset shift that took him from cleaning ponds to scaling a multimillion-dollar operation, why a single koi can go from $100 to $10,000 as it grows, and why the backyard swim pond is quietly making the swimming pool obsolete. This is what it looks like when someone goes all in on the thing everyone else ignored — and gets filthy rich doing it. 🔗 Connect with Brian Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/brian._fitz Fish Ponds IG: https://www.instagram.com/fitzfishponds YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FitzFishPonds ✅ Additional Resources Fitz's Fish Ponds Website: https://www.fitzfishponds.com Fitz's Fish Ponds Linktree: https://linktr.ee/FitzFishPonds Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube .
