Join me for a discussion with Tyson Florence. Tyson is a U.S. Army veteran, electrician, and Alligator wrestler. In this episode we dive into Tyson's passion for wildlife, his time in the military, and his now viral internet gator bite that permanently altered his anatomy.

 In addition we also explore the origins of alligator wrestling as well as the Seminole Tribe culture which is inextricably linked to Florida.

  Hands on animal work can be greatly misunderstood and we both desire for this episode to inspire many to change their perspective on individuals who dedicate their lives to handling, caring, and learning about the Earth's wildlife.

 You can see Tyson at the next FAWC (Free Style Alligator Wrestling Competition) in 2024 in South Florida.
