Ep. 063 - Fighting Bulls & Building Wealth: Chuck Swisher’s Path to Financial Freedom
Chuck Swisher thought he was going to be a skater but much to his dad’s liking he decided to go down the path of bullfighting.
Chuck went to the schools and got around the right people to learn his craft and then he just did it as much as possible.
He started fighting at junior rodeos and buckouts and then amateurs and finally the pro rodeos.
As he matured he realized he needed to not rely so heavily on his body and time for income especially in such a dangerous occupation.
Before it was popular he realized that everyone needed to eat and most people wanted quality beef.
Of course this business took off during Covid and is still growing.
Chuck also found out about investing in real estate. He’s building a portfolio of rentals and plans to expand that business also.
With the right mindset and a work ethic he has found success in everything he’s done.

Ep. 058 - From Wall Street to Ranch Life: Jay Meadows’s Journey to Building His Dream
Jay Meadows had the opportunity to grow up with family that lived the cowboy life and family that were heavy into business.
He decided to go to school while pursuing baseball but realized that he may not be good enough to make a career out of it so he went all in on learning business.
After graduating he became a stock broker. He had plenty of things to learn about the business but he had the privilege of being naively optimistic and that allowed him to have a lot of success.
He was forced to change careers and with the help of a strong network of mentors he was guided in the direction of mortgage fraud prevention, an industry that wasn’t even invented yet.
Once again Jay went all in and the company became a huge success.
In his “retirement” he’s still investing and looking for opportunity as well as living his dream ranching and team roping.
There’s truly a lot of lessons in this episode.

Ep 057 - Cutting Horses & Cattle: Dillon Crumpler’s Journey to Ranch Ownership
Dillon Crumpler was addicted to horses from an early age.
His family was in the cutting horse and farming business so he grew up around it.
Dillon knew school wasn’t for him so when he graduated high school he went straight to working in his family’s cutting horse program.
Like many young men he wanted to see something different so he went to work for another trainer and eventually became a head trainer under one owner and then became a full fledged independent trainer leasing a place and riding customer horses.
He began to burn out over time being overworked and underpaid with all the stress of owning your own operation.
He was able to find a new opportunity in turning out cattle on wheat pasture and got busy with that.
Through that operation he was also able to find some grass leases that he turned cows out on.
He’s recently been able to get back to his passion and has started a cutting horse operation back up. One of the first ones was a big hit selling for 1 million dollars at the futurity sale.
