In this episode, I sat down with rodeo legend Bobby 'Big Money' Harris to talk about the story behind his nickname, his journey to a world title, and the mindset it took to get there. We dug into the influence of his dad’s tough love, the discipline and structure that shaped his career, and how those lessons still apply to competitors today. Hearing how he built his edge in and out of the arena was a powerful reminder that championships are earned long before the spotlight hits.

We also talked about how team roping has evolved—the rising level of competition, the importance of partnership chemistry, and the challenges young athletes face in the modern era. What stood out most to me was Bobby’s passion for coaching and preserving rodeo’s culture of accountability, community, and grit. It wasn’t just a conversation about winning—it was about legacy, growth, and what truly defines success in this sport.
