Description

Starting a fireworks display company sounds like a dream—but the reality is far from easy. In this episode of Pyro Talk, I sit down with Devin Vargas of Deep South Fireworks to unpack what it really takes to build a display company from the ground up. We’ll dispel the common myths, including why it’s not as simple as grabbing some 1.4g fireworks and shooting them off. From navigating regulations and finding clients, to financial hurdles, staffing challenges, and those unexpected pitfalls that can make or break a business, Devin shares the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned along the way. If you’ve ever thought about starting your own fireworks company—or just want to hear the gritty truth behind the beauty of the boom—this episode lights the fuse.
