The Go Time Podcast

Great conversation with James Compton in this episode. We discuss his college football career with the University of Washington as a full back and how he ended up with a 12 year race career in AMA Pro Superbike and Formula Extreme Classes. Later moving to work in the pits with such greats as Ben Spies, Cameron Beaubier, Steve Rapp, Jake Holden to name just a few. Eventually working as a crew chief for Micheal Jordan's AMA Superbike team while creating his first full custom bike, "The Crusher". All of this leading up to James Compton Customs.

I had a great time visiting with James and learning about his path to success but most importantly hearing about his love for his wife and kids.  There are a lot of men in this world who can claim success but few that get the chance to share it with others and even fewer with their children. The world needs a few more good fathers.

Enjoy Part 1

For the past several years Barrett has created a YouTube channel that covers his journey to becoming the best team roper that he can be. We have done several videos together on horsemanship. I think that he has a great take on becoming a team roper and it is not because he is famous or has won big pot of money roping, rather it is that he is journalling his path of learning to become a good team roper.

Why is this important, because I think that people understanding the western lifestyle and why we do things the way we do them is more important now than ever before in the history of our country.

There are a lot of things that I do not like about social media but one thing I do like is that it gives people from the city a glance into what the western lifestyle is about and it is also an invitation to those who want to join us in this way of living.

Barrett is a great embassidor to the western lifestyle.

Dr. Martin was my veterinarian for most of my show career in the reining horse industry.  He played an important roll in the success of many of my horses over the years.  One of the reasons why I chose him to be part of my team over the years was his passion for the horse and his desire for a job well done.  To be an overachiever you have to at times push and expect more than what is reasonable and that, at times, is a fault itself.  But there is a lot to be said for nothing ventured nothing gained.

In this interview I hope that you hear how few times that obstacles are mentioned and how they are seen as opportunities. Also that you do not see someone who is shy to hard work and long hours.

Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517. He has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer ins Old Testament and Hebrew. He holds master's degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. He has contributed articles to Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Modern Reformation, The Federalist, Lutheran Forum, and the journals and websites. He is also the author of several books, including Night Driving and Your God Is Too Glorious.

Magnus Matt is my 15 year old son, whom I love, like all my kids. He asked to interview me and it gave me some great insight as a father. How often do we sit down and intentionally have a conversation with our kids about how we came to where we are at in our lives? What was life like for me while I was chasing my dreams and passions? Not only talking about what I believe but why do I and how did I come to these conclusions about life and the principles that I desire to live by.

Not a bad idea to give your son or daughter the opportunity to interview you and ask the questions that they want to know the answers to.  This will be something that I will continue doing with all my kids.

Hope you enjoy this intimate conversation between me and my son.

Matt comes from an agriculture/equine background and it is where I first met him. He has a great story of perseverance and overcoming what we perceive as failure.  He has an inspiring story of coming back from not meeting the swim time requirements while in ParaRescue training in the Air Force to becoming a Special Operations Combat Controller and Honor Graduate of his pipeline class then joining the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron in Tacoma WA and being deployed to Afghanistan on support of the war on terror.

Matt now serves as a coach/mentor to the candidates preparing for Assessment and Selection at the Special Warfare Schoolhouse in San Antonio, Tx.  He also is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Geneva School of Boerne, Tx and pursuing his M.S. in Performance Psychology and the Team Leader of ForgedHP.com
