And also you're looking for the, I think, that niche in the industry of what where some people that can't afford to drive from say wisconsin all the way to stevenville texas for a lesson the guys that rope in brazil mexico there's even guys getting wanting to learn how to rope in germany and switzerland you know places like that to where how can they get better at this sport but not be able to get to your house
52:18
So I kind of started it because we started doing, you know, some schools all over while we're rodeoing.
52:24
And when we travel and stuff, we do a handful of schools here and there throughout the year.
52:29
And I do lessons at my house the last several years.
52:33
And I kind of started it with, I mean, I literally would have people text me and say, hey, you know, if I send you my videos or, you know, send me your Venmo and I'll pay you to look them over for me.
52:44
And so it kind of started, you know, for the last several years, I've kind of had the idea of like, I would like to do some sort of mobile coaching.
52:52
And every time I would get something put together, it would almost be too complicated, right? It would be some sort of platform that videos go to.

Talk about on the head side, because I know you do a lot of lessons on both sides, but talk a little bit about on the head side, where do you see a lot of the most common problems on the
2:14
So like as parents, you know, what are some things that some ideas we can be doing where we're talking about money and what to do with it?
2:21
And I think coming up, like for me, I wanted to rope a lot and like, that was what I want to do.
2:27
Like I wanted to go to the rope and enter as many times as I could.
2:31
And I always remembered, like, I didn't know a lot about, I really didn't know a lot about, you know, money, how it worked, cashflow, anything.
2:38
I just knew that one day I wanted to go to the rope and not worry about what the fees were.
2:42
Like, cause I grown up as a kid, I always thought that would be the coolest thing.
2:45
Like I was, I remember being a kid, like, I don't know why I remember this, but I was going to Lone Star Arena and like, it was like the jingle bell.

Do you feel like there was a lot of confidence from last year going into year two, getting your world title one and then coming in and having such a good start?
8:20
That's funny you say that, because I was just telling somebody, I've never went into an NFR overconfident, ever.
8:28
I've never...
8:30
I felt prepared, but I've never once felt as confident as I feel like you should be.
8:36
And just because I feel like that setup is so tough, the guys rope so good and the steers are so strong and they hit fast.
8:42
So like the angles have to be perfect.
8:44
Like header has to be perfect.
