Welcome back Y'all! On this episode, join me as I ride around the countryside with my old friend Cole Parks. Cole is the Owner of Southwestern Advisory Group. We discuss, choosing to be happy in life, the Kolbe personality test that we brought up in the South Texas Dove Hunt episode, what regular people get wrong in their personal investments and more. 

We also turn the tables and Cole asks me some hard hitting questions about what it takes to earn your cowboy hat, where I find my entrepreneurial mindset, failure, and we wrap up talking about Gold & Silver and some crypto talk. Enjoy!
