The Lost Cowboy with J.B. Zielke
J.B. is the author of the new book, The Lost Cowboy, the story of his adventures while cowboying on six different continents. From Colorado and Wyoming, to Argentina and Mongolia, riding bulls to wrangling reindeer, J.B. has seen a whole bunch! This was one of my favorite episodes I've done in quite some time!

Bull Session with Cliff Schadt
Cliff Schadt is a horse trainer and cowboy based out of Ocala, Florida. He had a very unique background and we talked about it at length. Cliff was driving back from a rodeo, so the audio is a little wonky, but the conversation was great!

Bull Session with Patryck Minter
Patryck is a really interesting guy. He grew up outside of Memphis, TN on land that was the very plantation where his ancestors lived as slaves, before moving to Colorado. His uncle was an avid horseman, who helped shape Patrick as a man and sent him down this path of punching cows. Really enjoyed this chat!

History Of The Meatpacking Industry Part 1: America Was Built On Beef
This is the first chapter in a historical series that looks at the origins of the meatpacking industry in the United States. While I will go into far more details in future episodes, I wanted to give y'all an idea of how the rise in population and different war efforts throughout the United States led us to become the world leader in beef production. America truly was built on beef!
