From Closing Deals to Catching Snakes: A Real Estate Broker’s Journey to Python Huntress

What happens when a successful real estate broker trades in open houses for the open wilds of the Everglades? In this unforgettable episode, Amy Siewe—better known as The Python Huntress—joins Nareman to talk about her wild career pivot from real estate to hunting massive invasive pythons in Florida.

Amy opens up about the moment she knew python hunting was her purpose, the skills that help her survive unpredictable swamps, and the leadership required when guiding clients through adrenaline-pumping hunts. You’ll hear about 16-foot snake takedowns, the financial hustle of turning a passion into a business, and why Amy believes her work is both meaningful and necessary for Florida's ecosystem.

We also dive into passive income, real estate investing, and how she balances life, social media, leather products, and rehabbing a torn ACL—all while chasing reptiles at night.
