In one of the most unexpected yet entertaining episodes of the Club Ambition Podcast, host Vic, aka SOUND, sat down with an unusual guest—Don Ducky, a duck-turned-social-media-sensation—and his owner, Jason. What started as a $7 baby duck from Tractor Supply has blossomed into a full-blown brand with Don Ducky now appearing at clubs, events, and even alongside rappers like Chef G.
Jason shared how he left his career as a five-star restaurant chef to manage Don’s growing empire full-time. Beyond its charm, the duck’s career includes merchandise, a beer brand, a forthcoming coffee line, and even a children’s book in development. Don Ducky has also taken on a role in the community, visiting schools and participating in local events. “It’s all about spreading joy,” Jason said, noting that he’s sold 12 other ducks to share the love across Providence.
The podcast took a playful turn when Vic and Jason joked about Don Ducky’s rumored “relationship drama” with Daisy—another duck caught up in wild online gossip. Despite the laughs, Vic praised Jason for bringing smiles during tough times, while assuring listeners that Don Ducky gets the VIP treatment, complete with custom jewelry and regular vet visits. Providence’s mayor even reached out to show support for Don’s growing presence.
As they wrapped up, Vic declared Don Ducky the show’s “Guest of the Year” and encouraged fans to follow him on Instagram and TikTok (@DonDucky08). With plans for a TikTok series featuring daily duck adventures, Jason hinted at more content to come.
