Jake and Clay get into what it actually takes to be successful: hard work, grinding, and understanding that mental exhaustion builds you up rather than breaks you down. When you are young roping never feels like a job, and they say that mindset is everything. They talk about the difference between physical labor and getting to rope for a living, and how perspective on that shifts over time. Burnout and the toll of decades on the road comes up too. These days their NFR is the World Series Finale in Vegas. It gives them something to point toward and a reason to keep putting in the work. They also open up about stepping into a new chapter after 40 years of rodeoing and what settling into a different way of life looks and feels like.
