The Converse Cowboy is a Podcast that focuses on mindset and mental health as it relates to performance and in life. This platform has given me the opportunity to sit down with some amazing people, to tease out their habits and routines so that you can apply and test in your own life. With a growth mindset, I am constantly asking questions and pursuing knowledge. The Converse Cowboy Show allows me to do just that.
