Episode Description 

Texas teaches respect for hard seasons. Storms knock things down here — wind, hail, drought, floods — and Texans respond the same way every time: show up, assess the damage, and get to work. In this episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott explores real Texan grit — not loud toughness or drama, but steady, stubborn forward motion. This is about resilience built one small step at a time, long before anyone’s watching.

• Deciding ahead of time that getting back up is part of who you are
