Episode 122: Brad Probst - What Does It Mean To Be A Cowboy?

Heroes come in all forms and sizes. Most common are star athletes, television sensations, and our children who turn out to be wonderful people and future parents… A list of heroes can be endless but a hero has to be someone who moves you greatly like a celebrity who has influenced a generation. On todays podcast, Brad Probst, a hero of ours shares a very dark side he struggled through to get where he is today: The Manager of Bear Mountain Outfitters. This is where Nicky and I briefly guided elk hunts on a spectacular 18,000 acre mountain top ranch where the world is silent only to the sounds of nature, bugling elk and shimmering trees that have turned the brilliant colors of fall. Brad climbed to the top of this steep slope after a grueling battle with addiction. Near the bottom of this dark time, he flipped the switch and fought to get out, saving his family and his future. His chapters of survival are brilliant! Brad is also a "Cowboy" (he doesn't think he is) most of the year on the ranch when he is not guiding hunts or rodeoing. He recently went down to the Four 6's ranch to help out as a ranch hand as one thing's for sure, Brad's appetite for hard work is unmatched. We also talk about what it means to be a Cowboy, Elk hunting Colorado, Nuances of being an outfitter, Introduction of wolves, and his admirable climb out of addiction. On todays podcast, we cover the trials of one of the finest men I’ve ever known.
