Two young Billings brothers are turning a stinky job into a growing business and picking up some valuable life lessons along the way.Ryder, 16, and Preston, 14, Biery launched their poop scooping business, Big Sky Scoopers, in Arizona with a straightforward motivation.Watch the two young entrepreneurs talk about their business: Two Billings brothers turn poop scooping into a growing small business"We didn't have much money of our own," Ryder said Thursday.Rather than asking for cash, they decided to earn it."We started it so we could get some personal money for things we wanted to spend on for fun," Ryder said.The brothers quickly built a client list of more than 20 customers in Arizona. When their family relocated to Billings, the business came with them."We gave it a bit before we started it back up so we could get settled in, but we continued shortly after," Ryder said.Now they go house-to-house, cleaning yards across Billings.
