Y’all, this week’s episode is super special to me—I'm bringing back the very first guest I ever had on the show: my good friend, rodeo legend, and multi-time World Champion Martha Angelone.

I’ll never forget when we recorded our first episode—literally in the front seat of a Dodge truck at circuit finals with a cell phone and Raymond in the backseat. Fast forward, and now Martha’s back with a ton of wins, big money earned, and even bigger insight on how she’s crushing the Women’s Rodeo World Championships game.

We talked all things WRWC, and Martha didn’t hold anything back. She broke down exactly how she’s earned over $325K in WCRA and more than $228K in WRWC—from her weekly nomination strategy to how she sets herself up for success in breakaway, heading, and heeling.

One of my favorite moments from the episode was hearing her talk about winning $90K in one week, buying her horse Jesse James, and how that single moment changed her career. Martha is proof that hard work, strategy, and a little faith go a long way.

One thing Martha said that hit me hard:

“If I didn’t keep going, I wouldn’t be here today… not on this podcast, not anywhere.”

If you haven’t started nominating yet, let this episode light that fire. And hey, use my code HOLLABAUGH10 to save some money on those entries. I’ll see y’all in May at the WRWC Finals!
