Ross Ashford

In this episode, I sit down with Ross and we dive into what makes the rodeo community so special—the grit, the camaraderie, and the constant pursuit of getting better. We talk about building new teams, dialing in timing and setups in the arena, and what it really takes to compete at a high level. Ross shares his journey to the NFR, the financial and emotional sacrifices along the way, and how stepping into new seasons of life and family shifts your perspective on competing and chasing big goals.

We also spend time talking about the Live Like Ace Foundation, which honors Ross’s late brother and supports families facing difficult seasons. It’s a powerful reminder that rodeo is bigger than the arena. At the end of the day, it’s about community—showing up for each other, mentoring the next generation, and making an impact that goes far beyond winning.
