We were lucky to catch up with Jason Calleri recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jason, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We believe kindness is contagious and so we’d love for you to share with us and our audience about the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
I enjoy hearing from our customers that going on our tour was the highlight of their vacation and seeing the 5 star rating review they left for us. Our business is aimed towards making people happy and creating legendary mindful experiences.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a native Floridian who has grew up in the backcountry land and waters of the Florida Keys and Everglades. I know Florida very well and Florida knows me. I have won the Sunsationial Service Award in Broward County for outstanding ecotourism. I have a White House Communications Agency Certificate of Appreciation award for the participation of guiding President Obama on an Everglades Press tour. I am licensed by the Florida Fish and Conservation Commission to work with and possess venomous reptiles and crocodilian species. I have a Florida commercial air boat operator license. I have contributed my employment to many Florida zoological facilities and the Everglades National Park. I have been working professionally with captive wildlife in animal care, husbandry, and show interpretation for 30 years.
Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.
I created my own upper Keys tour. I chose my favorite keys, Islamorada, and put together a tour there. It has been very rewarding to see people enjoying a product I created.
Have you ever had to pivot?
I am diagnosed with several health diseases including a type of cancer. I wanted to be a business owner before my life’s end instead of always working for someone else.
