In this episode, I reflect back on memories of being a wild kid running wild at the Rose Palace, while mom showed horses. I also share my thoughts and my experience of selling a horse at a horse sale. 

I am thankful for the hard work that went into a horse sale and also very grateful to to new owners of Marsala.

In this episode, I reflect back to a time of being scared of the dark, scared of heights, scared of disappointing my family and all kinds of other fears. I also talk about my first time showing in Fort Worth during the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity on my little bay mare, Ms Jonez. 

I sat down in the Hotel Drover lobby, down in the historic Stockyards early in the morning, the day after the horse show and started talking. Before I knew it, I had talked a good long while. we survived our first big show and I am looking forward to more. 

I have a lot to be thankful and grateful for! 

Episode 15. In this episode, I read from several instagram post where I discuss the stories and inspirations behind some of the pairs of leggins I have build over the past couple of years. I shed some light on how I go about drawing an idea on paper to cutting everything out of leather and creating using cowboy gear with an artistic flare. I speak a lot on the ideas of authenticity, originality and always working towards improving my patterns and the quality and style of my work.

This episode is my longest one to date, lasting just over two hours! As always, I appreciate all of the shares and listens and all of the feedback I receive on every episode. 

The thing about the word COWBOY. This word can be a noun, verb or an adjective. It all comes down to experience, lifestyle, culture, frame of mind, acceptance, interest and how we walk, or ride through life. 

In this episode, I'll reflect back on my own experiences dealing with and struggling with the title of "cowboy". I try to draw connections between several cultures and lifestyles that have the same ideals and codes and ethics as the cowboy culture. The image of the cowboy has long been a vision of inspiration as well as fascination. Who doesn't want to be a cowboy? 

But, I also believe the image of those authentic to their own lifestyle and culture can be just as iconic. Tell me you've never stopped somewhere, where there are a line of choppers or hotrods parked against a curb and stared and found fascination in those machines or the men and women who built them and embrace that lifestyle. 

In this episode, I share some memories and experiences from the branding pen. I reflect on what I have learned not only from my horses, but from my experiences throughout my life. Somehow, I find and draw parallels with the good and bad that happens in the branding pen and how those things guide us in our own lives. There is a lot of value and sharing and teaching along the way. life currency is best spent on others. The wealth of it all is in the sharing.

This is a very special episode, recorded in the boot shop at Hotel Turkey in Turkey, Texas. My first remote podcast, recorded during the Bob Wills Day weekend. 
 In this episode, I will share my thoughts, my experiences and my admiration for everybody in this small Texas town on the edge of the Panhandle and west Texas, and, on the cutting edge of music and so much more. 
 It was an honor to be amongst great people, great music and everything that encompasses Texas and the Western swing traditions. 
 So, pull off your coat and throw it in the corner!
