Live with courage, keep your word. The code of the west was a simple way to navigate a complex and dangerous environment. We sit down once a week and talk about what it means to us in this modern age, as we navigate the pitfalls of building a brand.
Nicholas Coleman is a second generation Western artist. He and I have known each other through Instagram over the years but we finally sat down and chatted recently. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to me, but it turns out that we share a lot of common ground. The mission with his work is to, " preserve the fading heritage of the American West," so it's not a big leap to see why the two of us get along so well. His work, exhibitions and background are awe inspiring and it's best if you take the time to deep dive yourself at his website below. I had a fantastic time talking with, Nicholas and I think you'll enjoy it as well. We cover our respective feelings about The West, and the importance of storytelling in the modern world among a wide range of other topics https://www.nicholascolemanart.com/about You can follow Nicholas on Instagram at https://www.nicholascolemanart.com/about
I'm joined by Scott Lyman of Lyman Livestock today. I met Scott earlier this summer when I unexpectedly popped up at his families Memorial Day Branding. Very quickly he and his whole family welcomed me in and I spent the weekend documenting the event videoing and taking photos of the happenings. I hit the record button a little early so we're dropping right into the conversation. We talk about the commonalities between our upbringings despite being from (what would appear to be) two different worlds, and we discuss some of the challenges his family faces, and families like his that are attempting to keep their livelihoods and traditions alive.
I've made some dramatic changes in my lifestyle since we last talked around diet and exercise, and as a result I've gone through a bit of a transformation. Both physically as well as mentally. As a result, things have been shaking loose in my mind-in a good way.
Episode 10- “HAS IT REALLY BEEN 3 MONTHS?”
Episode 6- “I DON'T FEEL LIKE MUCH OF AN ARTIST…”
I welcome my first guest to the podcast. Former Army Ranger, PJ, current Black Rifle employee and future Free Range America host, Kevin Reeves. Kevin grew up in the Midwest but has had a career that took him around the world. He talks about growing up jumping horses in Ohio, missed opportunities with Dolphin Quest and how he ended up with careers in two different branches of the Military. I talk about falling three stories through a tree after drinking a bottle of bourbon.
