Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy, sits down with Hector, the found of the All American Koi Show.

On this episode of The PondcastGreg chats with Peter Woytowich, owner of Premiere Ponds of Madison CT. As an early and successful retailer of Aquascape, Peter might be the longest tenured non-CAC contractor who after 26 years became a CAC! Like the proverbial pebble tossed into a pond, Peter's Company has maintained a continual arc of professional success.

FoxTerra will be at Pondemonium!!! The Premiere Landscape Design Firm in North America will be at Pondemonium! Better yet, they’ve now come to view “living water” as a premium to man made. How Justin and his TEAM only recently arrived at this conclusion makes for a great Pondcast!

In this episode, I sit down with the 2025 Aquascape Business Man of the Year. He’s proof that you don’t need decades to become successful—you just need the right systems, a tight grip on your numbers, and the willingness to learn from your mistakes and your peers. After stumbling early on, almost filing bankruptcy, he adopted an unconventional subcontractor model paired with packaged services and proven processes that changed everything. Now he’s thriving, and he’s here to share exactly how he did it.

Running a successful pond business takes grit—and Bubba’s got it in spades. After two decades of hard lessons and late nights working in the business (plus a second full-time job), he made the leap to working on it. The result? Freedom, growth, and the Top Frog Award for 2025! Hear how he scaled his operation, shifted his mindset, and built the life he always envisioned.

Charlie and Net Ross of Virginia Water Gardens share their story after being awarded Top Frog Retailer.
