In this episode of Beyond the Buddy Seat, host Justin Hale sits down with Scotty O’Bryan to discuss the importance of philanthropy and giving back to the youth livestock industry. They dive into how getting involved in your community can create lasting impacts and explore the value of building strong networks to navigate life and career. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on leadership, generosity, and taking the reins both in and out of the field.

Brecken Shipman, and Kade Davis, join host, Justin Hale, for an overlook at the Texas Youth Livestock Ambassador program, life beyond FFA and 4-H, and Production agriculture. The value that these instill in the youth across America is priceless

Some buddy seats are in tractors, some are in a classroom and some are found in a club meeting. While there are many youth programs that your children can be a part of those based around leadership, common home values with good strong goals set in mind, you can’t go wrong with FFA and 4-H. The boys and I take a deep look at what they get out of youth programs, like TYLA, leadership development events & career development events and how that the advisors such as Agriculture Science Teachers, and County Extension Agent’s begin to develop young men and women into the next leaders for our country.
