The guest on this epsiode is Mr. Ryan Fleetwood, owner of Fleetwood Farms Quarter Horses. Ryan is also on the Board of Directors for the American Quarter Horse Association.
In this episode, we talk a lot about horses and the AQHA organization. We even dive deep into the recent major controversy surrounding the switch from paper records to digital and all of the social media chaos that erupted from this proposal.
We also talk a lot about family legacy and current challenges within Western Culture.
This episode was recorded in-person in-studio and that is due to Ryan graciously being willing to travel here to record the conversation.

Known by many as a contestant on the competition reality TV show, "Ultimate Cowboy Showdown - Season 3", today's guest is a force of nature...a force for good. His name is J'amon Turner.
Though he made a name for himself as a successful professional bull rider and is also a rancher and horse trainer by trade, J'amon's greatest gift is likely his natual ability to lead and mentor young people and to introduce young people, who often have no connection at all to rural life, into the Western culture and trades.
If you asked J'amon what his greatest achievement in life has been, the answer would very likely be the formation of his non-profit youth mentorship program called, "Just Believe". This amazing program has already changed so many lives for the better and will continue to do so.

This episode is a bit different. Due to a last minute cancellation by today's podcast guest, Living Western Podcast host, Clayton Marxer, uses this episode to directly address you, the audience.
In this episode, Clayton lines out the various ways that you can connect with Living Western to give feedback on the show so far or suggest future ideas for guests to bring on to the show.
He also shares some inspiration from something he wrote during a time of trial and hardship where he felt a bit lost with no clear direction in life.

This episode is an interview with J.B. Zielke, author of "The Lost Cowboy".
This fantastic conversation lasted over 3 hours, so I will split it into 3 Parts.
J.B. is known for his epic journey to ranch on every continent that has critters to herd. The climax of this epic adventure was when he found himself riding a giant reindeer while herding other reindeer in Mongolia.
J.B.'s thirst for the wild in life and his aptitude for descriptive writing are reminiscent of introspective literary works like those of Hunter S. Thompson or "Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey, but those who love books that hearken back to the old days of the wild west and pioneer cattlemen will recognize a similarity to the revered cowboy book "We Pointed Them North".
If you are curious what life is like for herdsmen/cowboys/Americans in other places around the world, or if you just love grand adventures with harrowing tales of disasters and conflict, as well as, heartwarming moments between people who cannot speak each other's language, you will love this book!
