Hannah Beckett graduated college and was hungry to get back into the agriculture community she was raised in.  Her family still ranches in Montana, but Hannah and her brother ended up down a slightly different agriculture path.  Hemp!  CBD which comes from the Hemp plant has infiltrated agriculture and mainstream culture, but what the heck is it and what are the actual benefits?  Hannah one of the Hemp farmers behind 'Lee Hemp' shares all the interesting details about growing organic hemp in Colorado with her brother and turning it into products that help reduce inflammation, ease anxiety and help you sleep!  We also discuss the idea of CBD for bucking bulls which will probably become a million dollar idea that allows Hannah to retire on a yacht (Courtenay's opinion).

Ivan McClellan (@eightsecs on IG) has photographed some of the most influential figures in cowboy culture.  Through his photos McClellan portrays an intimate look at the cowboy as a fluid figure represented by many races, cultures and genders.  From ESPN to art gallery showcases, McClellan's work has been featured across many high profile platforms.  His photos speak for themselves, but it is the storytelling behind the photographs that make McClellan so unique.  He shares how being ashamed of his roots and an inebriated agreement to fly to a rodeo eventually changed the entire course of his career.
