Cody & Erika Archie are first generation ranchers that have went viral on social media. What started out as some posts about their experiences ranching, to help spread awareness about where our food comes from and to help other ranchers avoid mistakes, has changed their lives. They now get speaking opportunities and brand deals because of their large following on social media. They realized early on that they needed to find a different way to ranch while also paying the bills. This has led them to experiment with many different niches in the industry from replacement heifers, to yearlings, to sheep. Besides being ranchers and social media influencers they’re also business owners. They own an essential business if you’re in the western world, a dry cleaners. We all need those starched clothes to go out on the town. They’ve also built houses and experimented with other business opportunities.Diversified Payments:

After pursuing rodeo for a while he decided to go all in on becoming an auctioneer and put roping on the back burner. Cody found jobs wherever he could selling whatever he could and finally found a home in DFW selling vehicles. He’s been able to sell everything from a beat up junker to a super car.He realized that his income was capped being an auctioneer because he can only work so much and he also wanted to spend time at home with his family. This led Cody to start his own business Platinum Horse Sales. This is an online horse sale platform that brings quality buyers and quality horses together.

In this episode we go over the top 3 things you should know about: how to make money, how to invest money, and how to give back to charity. Kasey followed his love of the outdoors and found a way to monetize it. He started as a county extension agent barely getting by and started a side business helping people with large ranches sell hunts. His side business began to grow and he eventually got a client that changed his life, Gary Keller. Gary mentored him and helped him get started in the real estate business. The only problem was Keller-Williams didn’t have a farm/ranch division so Kasey helped create it and make it successful. Kasey also understands the importance of investing for the future and buys many different types of real estate to grow his wealth. Giving back is a huge thing with Kasey personally and his business. The brokerage gives to many different causes throughout the year and Kasey is directly involved in a charity that helps feed the hungry with beef.

Ep. 017 - Kasey Mock: Ranch Realtor, Investor, Business Coach

Kody started out with gold buckle dreams in the rodeo industry. His drive to win the all around led him to compete in all the timed events, but that wasn’t enough. He thought he could get more points if he got in the cutting. Little did he know that his connection to the cutting world led him to an introduction to one of the greatest of all time Buster Welch. Kody saw the opportunity in front of him and was able to go work for Buster on his ranch. He learned what hard work meant, a lot about cowboying, and a lot about the relationship between a horse and a cow. He realized that there may be more out there than day working and rodeoing for a living, so, with some encouragement from his better half, he decided to load up and move to Weatherford to learn the cutting horse industry. After working for and around other trainers he finally decided to go out on his own. It’s definitely had its ups and downs but Kody is considered one of the best cutting horse trainers in the industry. Kody is also looking at other opportunities that don’t require manual labor and that’s how he got in 817 Horse Sales with his longtime friends.
