Life's Short — Do What You Love - 30 Years in Rodeo with Lane Fugitt | EP. 002

Make A Difference — Even When It Costs You - Wisdom with Bryson Moorman | EP. 003

In this episode of The Steward, I sit down with Bryson Moorman — a farrier, trainer, and competitor who’s built his life around doing things the right way, not the easy way. We get into what that actually looks like in real life — learning the craft instead of just doing the job, handling pressure, criticism, and the uncertainty of starting out, trusting God when there’s nothing left to lean on, setting boundaries in business and knowing your worth, and choosing principle over profit, even when it costs you. Bryson shares the reality behind this lifestyle — the responsibility that comes with it, the standards it demands, and the decisions that shape who you become in the process. From early struggles to building something real, this conversation isn’t about shortcuts or surface-level success. It’s about discipline. It’s about stewardship. It’s about doing things right — even when it costs you.

Life's Short — Do What You Love - 30 Years in Rodeo with Lane Fugitt | EP. 002

Lane Fugitt has spent over 30 years in the rodeo world — riding bulls, hauling them, and building a life in stock contracting. He got on his first bull at 14, and has been hooked ever since. In this episode of The Steward, we sit down for a real conversation about what it takes to stay in this life, the responsibility behind the bulls, and the role stock contractors play that most people never see. From Fugitt Bucking Bulls to B&L Livestock and Rodeo, Lane has lived both sides of it — as a rider and as a contractor. For years, he’s done it alongside his dad, not just as family, but as partners in the work. Together, they’ve built a life around raising, hauling, and managing bucking bulls — the kind of work that happens long before the gate ever opens. When Lane isn’t on the road, he’s in his community giving back — helping younger guys find their way, without ever trying to take credit for it. In his eyes, if they make it, they earned it. That’s theirs. And when it comes to grit, that’s something you’re born with — it can’t be taught. After three decades in it, his perspective is simple: Keep God first. Be all in. And do what you love.

Pressure Makes Diamonds - Cowboy Wisdom with Ryan Burl | EP. 001

In this episode of The Steward Podcast, I sit down with Ryan Burl— for a raw and honest conversation about his learned experience in the cowboy world. Ryan talks about how he found his way into the lifestyle without growing up in it, the early hardships of being a day hand, and the lessons he learned by simply showing up, staying respectful, and going to work. We dive into the realities of day work, the responsibility of being a pickup man, and the mental approach required when handling unpredictable livestock. Ryan also shares his philosophy on horse training, stewardship, and the mindset required to last in this way of life. He opens up about the role his wife has played in helping him develop patience and empathy, and why young cowboys must truly understand commitment in this lifestyle— learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable and putting the job before themselves. This is a raw conversation about responsibility, humility, commitment, and loving the work enough to keep showing up.
