Taco Palenque is an extremely successful chain of restaurants and a staple in my own life ever since I was a kid. Taco Palenque offers consistently delicious, authentic Mexican food. Founded over 50 years ago, Taco Palenque and its other spin-off restaurants started by the Ochoa family were all started on the same principles: quality, family, and passion.

One of the key members of this family-run restaurant is José Ochoa. While he started working in the family business at just 15 years old, today José serves as the Managing Owner.

In this conversation, José tells us the full story of how his father originally started the business. Then we discuss the importance of recognizing and leveraging the opportunities you find around you, the value of putting family first, setting your sights on what matters most, how they partnered up with the Spurs, and much more.

(By the way, Go Spurs Go!)

Bareback riding may only last eight seconds, but the work behind it lasts a lifetime.

In this episode, I sit down with two of the best bareback riders in the world: 2019 PRCA World Champion Clayton Biglow and Calgary Stampede winner RC Landingham.

Together they break down what the average fan never sees behind the ride. From the injuries and mental battles to the discipline required to stay competitive year after year, this conversation explores what it really takes to build a life in rodeo. Clayton and RC share the realities of life on the road, the evolution of rodeo athletes, and the lessons pain and failure have taught them along the way.

I think there's something for all of us in what they have to share.
