His escape route was a business idea you probably walk past at least a couple times a year without even thinking about it.

What's he do?

Today, Larry McGee's the guy who takes care of the aquarium at the dentist office and other commercial waiting rooms.

In this episode, Larry shares some interesting tactics he’s used over the years to find new clients and keep them around for years.
