The Converse Cowboy is a Podcast that focuses on mindset and mental health as it relates to performance and in life. This platform has given me the opportunity to sit down with some amazing people, to tease out their habits and routines so that you can apply and test in your own life. With a growth mindset, I am constantly asking questions and pursuing knowledge. The Converse Cowboy Show allows me to do just that. 

I’m Mike Roberts and this is The Converse Cowboy.

Warning! This episode contains extremely foul language! The 1st Amendment protects the freedom of speech here in the United States of America and Clinton Anderson fully exercises that right throughout this episode. Clinton simply says out loud what most people are thinking and although he wraps those verbal thoughts in a blanket of curse words, there is a sense of authenticity that comes with them that you can't help but respect.  He pulls the curtain back on the Downunder Horsemanship Empire. Three and a half hours of unfiltered and raw conversation. We talk business, horses, marketing, successes, failures and lessons he's learned along the way.  Behind the profanity and foul language is a man that has mastered his craft as a clinician and horseman. Clinton Anderson has kept tens of thousands of people safe as they followed his method pursuing a journey with their horse and a better understanding of basic horsemanship. Warning: last chance, if you click play then you're giving consent to have your hearing violated and your mind altered. I'm sorry and you're welcome... Enjoy the show! The Converse Cowboy PS: be sure to stick around til the end to hear about one of Clinton's most embarrassing moments in the arena.
