In this episode, we sit down with a true first-generation cowboy—a TCU grad who built his punchy reputation the hard way. We talk cattle, day-to-day ranch work, cowboy wrecks, and the kind of stories you only get from someone who earned every bit of their saddle time. From wild broncs to long days on big country, he shares what it really takes to make it in the western world without being born into it.
