I visit with guests about topics like loyalty, honesty, authenticity, courage, integrity and resilience.


I come from a cowboy raised and egghead educated background. I’ve saddled and rode a horse, been on multiple cattle drives, fed cattle in 40 below temperatures, worked cattle in a corral, put up hay in 100 degree temperatures, fixed fence …. you name it … I attended high school at a prestigious private school. I got a College degree. I spent 31 years as a national politic operative, owned my own business and spent 13 years as a police officer.


My interesting life has lead me to the conclusion that the world is made up of cowboys and eggheads. I believe that we should have a few more cowboys than eggheads. Get ready, because you’re about to be pulled into the story of my life……

  • **SPECIAL REPEAT ** The Truman Show - with Special Guests Jeremy Aspen and Tom Becka

    The Truman Show (Re-Release) — Fear, Truth, and the World We Think We’re Living In

    What if the world you’re living in… isn’t as real as you think?

    In this re-release of one of the most thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on Cowboys Not Eggheads, we use The Truman Show as a jumping-off point to wrestle with something much bigger: fear, truth, media, and the uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually seeking reality—or just comfort.

    This wasn’t a scripted episode. No outline. No guardrails. Just three guys—Sam, Jeremy Aspen, and Tom Becka—pushing on ideas, challenging each other, and following the conversation wherever it led. And that’s exactly what makes it worth revisiting.

    We get into:

    • Why fear can both protect you and control you
    • Whether “your truth” is real—or just your perspective
    • How media and culture shape what we believe is reality
    • The difference between cowboys and eggheads—and why you might need both
    • And ultimately… who you trust when it actually matters

    This episode didn’t blow up the first time around—but not every conversation is built for the masses. Some are built for people willing to think a little deeper.

    So here it is again.

    At some point, like Truman, you have to decide:
    Are you staying where it’s comfortable… or stepping into the unknown?

    Hope isn't a strategy!
