In this episode, Tarek sits down with Tyler Kijac, the former professional bull rider in the PBR, all-around cowboy in the IPRA, and the winner of the reality TV show, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown. Today, Tyler is the founder of TK Pro Rodeo, a production and entertainment company supplying bulls, livestock, and production support for rodeos across the country. Tyler was hired to stage the rodeo scenes in the Glen Powell blockbuster hit, Twisters, bringing his management experience to the big screen. Tyler’s story is proof you don’t need a ranch upbringing to make it in the Western world - just grit, humility, and relentless work. He and Tarek break down the mindset behind his rise, the transition from athlete to entrepreneur, and how he’s honoring tradition while building his own legacy in rodeo.

In this episode, Tarek sits down with Riley Webb - the Denton, Texas native who’s rewriting the history books in tie-down roping. At just 22 years old, Riley’s already a two-time world champion and the youngest athlete in ProRodeo history to surpass $1 million in career earnings. But his story runs much deeper than the stats. Riley shares how he first got into rodeo, growing up roping calves alongside his dad on their family ranch and learning the fundamentals that shaped him into one of the sport’s brightest young stars. He opens up about the grind of life on the road, traveling from rodeo to rodeo while balancing the massive responsibility of caring for his horses, and managing the pressure that comes with early fame and success. Together, he and Tarek discuss what it really takes to stay at the top - from the daily grind to the discipline behind it all.

In this episode, Evan Delaune is joined by Christopher “Click” Thompson, a renowned rodeo photographer whose work captures the grit, courage, and spirit of Western life. Raised in Virginia, Click’s journey began in 2010 when he photographed his first bucking bull - a moment that sparked a passion that turned him into one of the industry’s most respected photographers. Over the past decade, he’s documented some of the biggest rodeo events in the world, including the National Finals Rodeo, Cody Stampede, Cheyenne Frontier Days, Pendleton Round-Up, and the Calgary Stampede, earning recognition as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Photographer of the Year twice. Beyond shooting action, Click tells the stories of the people and culture behind the rodeo, sharing his expertise through workshops and seminars, and dedicating himself to preserving the legacy of the American West. In this episode, he opens up about the rodeos that shaped him, what it’s really like shooting inches from the action, and why staying true to your passion matters more than anything.

In this episode, UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten joins Tarek for an unfiltered conversation about life inside and outside the cage.

Born in Tilburg, Netherlands, Bas went from being a bullied kid with asthma to becoming one of the most feared strikers in mixed martial arts. A three-time King of Pancrase champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, he’s known for his precision, his legendary liver shots, and his 22-fight unbeaten streak before retirement. Beyond the octagon, Bas has built a career as a commentator, actor, coach, entrepreneur, and founder of the O2 Trainer. In this episode, he opens up about the moments that shaped him: the fights that defined his legacy, the mental battles that tested him, and the spiritual journey that brought him to define the true meaning of manliness. He also shares his philosophy on discipline, breathing, and finding purpose - plus a few wild stories that only Bas could tell. It’s a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, intense, and deeply inspiring - a true masterclass in toughness, humility, and heart.
