Cowboy Up: Humor, Life Lessons and Timeless Truths

Show Guest: Alan Day

Alan Day has had adventures that most of us only experience while watching Netflix. In his book, Cowboy Up, Alan shares what life was like for him and his two sisters growing up on the Lazy B, a 200,000-acre family cattle ranch in the arid Southwest.

In what he describes as a “hardscrabble childhood”, it was their upbringing that instilled a strong work ethic, values, and principles that would eventually lead each of them to own extraordinary life path.

After graduating from college, Alan went on to successfully manage the Lazy B for 40 years. His sister, Ann Day, dedicated her life to public service in the state of Arizona, serving in the state legislature and local government. The eldest of the three siblings, Sandra Day O’Connor, was the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Sandra was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and served on the court for 25 years.

Join us for this very special interview, as Alan recounts his writing of Cowboy Up. Filled with humor and deeply moving timeless truths, this book is one man’s story of ranching and the cowboy life lessons in persistence, innovation, common sense, trust, friendship, and experiences that cross all demographics, lifestyles, and decades of time.
