   Number 1: Most Replayed Moment: Clinton Anderson Gets Brutally Honest About the Business Behind the Business (Free Version)

   Clinton Anderson built an empire training horses — but in this clip, he reveals the real skill that made him rich: managing people, not animals. Nine years of therapy later, he's finally saying out loud what he was really thinking for two decades while smiling at customers and biting his tongue. In this episode, Clinton opens up about: 🔹 The "pool boy" era of his career — and why biting his tongue for 20 years nearly broke him 🔹 Why 80% of his customers are women, and what that taught him about who's actually willing to learn 🔹 The math behind Down Under Horsemanship: $40 from 10,000 people beats $200K from one — and why that's the real Walmart-vs-Mercedes lesson in business 🔹 Why he walked away from reining's "tribal, cutthroat" culture for the cow horse world — and what he found there instead 🔹 His theory on authenticity, dating, sales, and why trying to please everyone is the fastest way to fail 🔹 The most embarrassing 15 minutes of his career — 3,000 people about to walk through the door, and everything that could go wrong, did This is Clinton unfiltered — no polish, no PR, just three decades of hard-earned truth about horses, people, and building something real.

   Number 2: Small Habits That Separate Winners From Everyone Else (From the NFL to Ranch Life) with Davon Godchaux (Free Version)

   In this episode of The Converse Cowboy, NFL veteran Davon Godchaux breaks down the uncomfortable truth behind success, discipline, and identity — after 10 years in a league where most careers barely last three. "You've got athletes… and then you've got professional athletes." From LSU to the NFL, Davon shares the small, unglamorous habits that define longevity — the things no one sees, but everyone feels on game day. But this isn't just about football. It's about what happens when the dream becomes reality… and still isn't enough. We talk about: • Why the little things are everything (and why most people avoid them) • The danger of tying your identity to what you do • What success really looks like beyond money and fame • How to handle adversity in a world that teaches you to quit "Money comes and goes… but relationships last forever." Because when the game ends — for all of us — what's left is who you became along the way. This episode is brought to you by Kimes Ranch, Bluebonnet Feeds and Kerry Kelley Bits and Spurs.

   Number 3: Equine Nutritionist: Dr. Jyme Nichols Debunks Equine Nutrition Myths (Free Version)

   What happens when a breakout college breakaway roper can't turn pro and has to get a "big girl job"? She accidentally becomes one of the country's leading equine nutritionists. Dr. Jyme Nichols (Bluebonnet Feeds) pulls back the curtain on her unlikely journey from the Sandhills of Nebraska and Montana State rodeo to earning a PhD and revolutionizing performance horse feeding. In this myth-busting conversation with The Converse Cowboy, she explains why protein percentage is the LAST thing she looks at on a feed tag, how horses can get type-2 diabetes just like humans, why supplements aren't always the enemy (and when they definitely are), and the real reason 3-year-old futurity horses fall apart under stress. From leaky gut and the gut-brain axis to why forage testing is "insurance" and how plasma actually works, Dr. Jyme delivers science in plain English for every horse owner tired of fads and old wives' tales. If you've ever wondered what actually moves the needle for your horse's health and performance, this episode is feed-room gold. Enjoy the show!
