Modern Cowboy

Episode 174 Tim Endsley / Cowboy / Adventure Bowhunter / Photographer / Award Winning Film Maker…

Charles is true renaissance man and the epitome of a Modern Cowboy... I was so inspired talking with Charles & hearing his amazing story I know you will be too. Charles Bisset grew up off grid in the Valhalla mountains of British Columbia, Canada for the first 17 years of his life. His father was raised on a dude ranch which inspired him to raise his family off grid. Both of his parents were opera teachers and his mother homeschooled both Charles and his sister.  He started thai boxing when he was 11 years old because he wanted to get into involved in sports and the boxing gym was the only thing available in that area.  He had his first fight when he was 15 years old in a nightclub and by the time he was 16 he was the number 4th amateur in canada. At 17 he decided to move away and pursue his dream of being a professional cowboy on big ranches. He cowboyed in four different provences in Canada, including the famous half a million acre Douglas Lake Ranch Cattle Company and then moved to Califorina to continue cowboying at Fort Baker Ranch. He fulfilled his dream of being a cowboy for 6 years and decided to continue fighting and pursue acting. Since then hes gone on to win the CMTA National Title, NAMTF North American Title, Thilands Suwit Sadium Title, WKA World Title, United States WBC title, 2x IKKC International Champion, Titans of Muay Thai Champion and WBL World Champion. Charles has also appeared in 10 national commercials, a few indie films and appeared along side Chris Kristofferson.  Charles Current sponsors include: Trifecta  Trident Muay Thai Fight Gear Nectarstick Rouge Reserve Oregon Show Sponsors: LINK IN BIO USE CODE: “MODERNCOWBOY” @moderncowboyperformance www.moderncowboy.global @nrsworld Show Music: “The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmon https://trentwillmon.com/ (https://trentwillmon.com/) MC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand @tyhbrand

Had a great time on the Podcast with 10 time National Finals Rodeo Qualifier Charly Crawford discussing the American Military Celebration. AMC a team roping event dedicated to thanking military veterans, first responders, and their families. Charly is a True Patriot & has a passion for giving back. Charly Crawford Bio Born and raised in Canby, Oregon Charly Crawford grew up with his dad who was a bareback rider and the self-proclaimed biggest team roping fan on earth. Charly’s father, Chuck always had good horses and was one of the reasons the crossfire rule was implemented. Growing up in the Northwest, the summers were always fun because guys like Mike Beers, Allan Back, Jake Barnes, Clay Cooper, and Leo Camarillo would come rope at their house. Due to the average rainfall being so significant, they could only rope about 4 months of the year outdoors. Chuck had a roping club where there were weekly practices and monthly jackpots. Charly always got to rope with guys that gave him no choice but to rope the best he could. He made the amateur finals before he made the high school finals. He and his dad would jackpot together, and Charly even did his first roping school at the age of 12. It took winning for Charly to take roping seriously and once he was accustomed to winning, he never looked back. “I paid my fees for the Dummy Ropings by picking up beer cans around the arena” Before moving to Arizona to attend college at Central Arizona in Casa Grande, Charly took home a state championship and made the National High School Rodeo finals three times. College was a challenge because he suffered from a learning disability, and it was always more enticing to make money. He tended to business long enough to take some teaching courses, make the college finals three times, and work on his farrier skills but never graduated. Charly bought his PRCA permit in 1997 and filled it at the first rodeo he entered in Tacoma, WA. He was roping with Shane Crossley. In 1998 he won PRCA Resistol Rookie of the Year. The years leading into 2001 were inconsistent, but Charly was focused on gathering up some good horses and making his herd valuable. There are a lot of influences in our sport, but one piece of advice always stuck with Charly: “It’s not how much you can win on your horses by how much your horses can keep you from winning” This led to the purchase of “Armadillo” which Charly acquired because of a bet. This horse proved himself by being named Horse of the BFI in 2001 and was Reserve Horse of the Year in 2005. You should know that through the roller coaster of life and the ups and downs on the rodeo trail that Charly always had an inkling to ride saddle broncs. His curiosity wasn’t fueled by trying to do what his dad did, but because he rode a lot of outside horses and if they’d fart, he fell off. In 2003, Charly was on the kick that he wanted to ride broncs when he got a call from Bucky Campbell to rope. He told Bucky what he had on his mind and all Bucky could say is “Don’t do it!” so, they roped for a while and Charly was back to having those thoughts about bronc riding again when he had the opportunity to roe with Tyler Magnus. Tyler also told Charly “Don’t do it!” “When one door closes, another door opens” Pretty soon, Charly was back in the Northwest and Matt Funk called looking for a partner. By this time, Charly was strongly evaluating the option to ride broncs and had decided to back his goals down and get back to basics. He told Matt that he wanted to win the amateur circuit, make the circuit finals, and practice with a purpose. Together they won both amateur association finals and made the circuit finals, but Matt decided to go back to heading so Charly was thinking about bronc riding again. He’d started hanging out behind the chutes, learning the lingo, getting familiar with the equipment and how it all worked. Now its 2004 and Mike Beers calls, he also says “Don’t do it!” so Charly is back to team roping and learns how to...

Great time on the Podcast with John Cofer talking a little about his career in the UFC & a lot about custom hat making (including the hat he's building for me)... John Cofer had always loved the history, appearance of and story behind the western hat. Which led to the desire and curiosity to want to create his own authentic western hat. At this time, John was living in a tiny Airstream trailer in the middle of a horse pasture in Southwest Montana. The will to learn and curiosity took the reins and the research began. A work bench and a handful of hat blocks took over where a small futon once sat. Soon thereafter, the very first western hats were created. Hat making quickly turned from hobby to passion which is where Cofer Hat Company was born. Now located in the hills overlooking Livingston, Montana, a tiny hat shop stays busy handcrafting unique, one of a kind hats for our friends near and far. Cofer Hat Company is constantly evolving and learning, bringing you high quality hats that will last a lifetime.  Resources: https://coferhatcompany.com/ Show Sponsors: LINK IN BIO @moderncowboyperformance www.moderncowboy.global @nrsworld Show Music: “The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmon https://trentwillmon.com/ (https://trentwillmon.com/) MC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand @tyhbrand

Awesome time getting to know Doug Champion on the Podcast he is a smart guy that saw a void in Rodeo Athlete Training. His innovative company is bringing world class athletic performance training into the 21st Century for Professional Rodeo Athletes as well as all of us weekend warriors. Take your fitness, performance & nutrition to the next level & beyond through his Rodeo / Cowboy / Western Lifestyle Program. "Champion Living Fitness." Doug's Story, As I moved on to college and focused on the sport of rodeo at the collegiate and professional level, my passion for fitness grew much deeper! I knew that in order to be successful at these levels of competition I would need to be in the best physical shape possible! I worked out 4-5 times per week in a regular gym and then moved on to a local CrossFit gym that I absolutely fell in love with! I went on to become a Level Certified Trainer in 2014 and then added a Strength & Conditioning CrossFit Football certification in 2016 While competing in rodeo, I was involved in a pretty bad wreck when a horse rolled into a fence with me, fracturing my collar bone, ribs and my spine (L4,L5 &S1). I ended up having a spinal fusion and was completely debilitated for two months before I began the long road to rehabilitation.With my knowledge from coaching, I was able to do my own rehab without a physical therapist, slowly putting myself back together and eventually I looked up and saw that I was better than I had ever been - even before the accident. I began competing in CrossFit about a year after I began my rehabilitation, and worked my way up to the top 2% of the world in Competitive CrossFit physical fitness in 2017. This is one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of, and I believe it makes me a better coach because I had to learn first-hand that through consistency, patience, proper nutrition, goal setting, and the right individualized fitness programs that anything is possible when it comes to improving your health and overall wellness! I feel that my wide range of knowledge and experience allows me to adapt/use many creative methods to achieve each client's individualized goals, whether you want to be an elite level athlete in your sport or want to be a badass at everyday life we are here for you and can help!

Awesome time on the Podcast with Skip Ransom of "Ransom Notes" he has a great sense of humor and cool story... Grew up rodeoing in a not real rodeo family. Started riding calves at 7 and steers, then bulls.  Did a little time with the US Army. I announced my first real event for $100 at a bull futurity deal and then went and quit my job to announce full time. It’s been a passion of mine ever since high school. I’ve been blessed to announce for the MBR at the PBR finals fan zone and watch kids turn into top 10 athletes. I’ve got my PRCA card bought and will hopefully get the green light for 2022.  Ransom Notes was something that happened accidentally, I made a post on FB late at night and then it exploded! It has since grown to 8,500 IG followers and brought more blessings then I could have imagined.  Resources: @skipransomnotes Show Sponsors: @moderncowboyperformance www.moderncowboy.global @nrsworld www.nrsworld.com Show Music: “The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmon https://trentwillmon.com/ (https://trentwillmon.com/) MC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand @tyhbrand

Had an amazing time on the Podcast with Keith discussing his New Book, the PBR, bull riders, cowboys & history. Keith has the respect, admiration & trust of many inside & outside the bullring world including Ty Murry, Shorty Gorham, Justin McBride, Cody Lambert & J.B. Mauney to name just a few. All I can say is you are going to love this book, Keith's a brilliant writer who captivates the reader with his unrelenting research, truth and story telling. They ride horses, rope calves, buck broncs, ride and fight bulls and they even wrestle steers. They are black cowboys, and the spirit of their pursuits intersected with America’s struggle for racial equality, human rights and social justice. “I think your notion of the skills it takes, the horsemanship … you’re countering the notion that enslaved people had no skills,” said Lonnie Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute and Founding Director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, “and, see, that’s an important part of the story.” Beginning at the turn of the 20th century, Black Cowboys of Rodeo is a collection of 100 years-worth of cowboy stories set against the backdrop of segregation, the Civil Rights Movement and eventually the integration of a racially divided country; and told by the unsung heroes whose accomplishments and rightful place in history have been disregarded and all but forgotten. This collection is not a final document. Or a definitive story. It is a work in progress. For many readers, Black Cowboys of Rodeo, which at its core are traditional cowboy stories, is an introduction to a whole new universe of possibilities and an unvarnished, firsthand look at a seldom documented segment of the African American experience. “In the ‘50s and ‘60s, there was a drive among black folks … to excel and overcome all sorts of barriers in order to achieve what they wanted to achieve,” said Rev. James Lawson, leading nonviolence advocate during the Civil Rights Movement. “I’m not surprised at all that a sizable number of black cowboys, who’ve been misrepresented and not represented in our history books and films, were among those who did that.” Resources: http://keithryancartwright.com/ https://twitter.com/ProfessorKRC?fbclid=IwAR15ug6zYhhOfZ-HjE7ylJOTKJj9_sEjmA7BGulvlPlQFg2ZeqSmu2uUVjs (twitter.com/ProfessorKRC) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2241209/?fbclid=IwAR3goz7IG5hftc_oReV2WiAWnD-IEcPDGZwlEl5A-3-d13PBjtFL0MeqnRo (imdb.com/name/nm2241209) Show Sponsors: @moderncowboypodcast @moderncowboyperformance www.moderncowboy.global https://nrsworld.com/collections/modern-cowboy (Modern Cowboy) @nrsworld @twistedx Show Music: “Cowboy” By: Kolt Barber https://www.koltbarber.com/ (https://www.koltbarber.com/) “The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmon https://trentwillmon.com/ (https://trentwillmon.com/) MC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand @tyhbrand

It was an honor to have Greg Putnam on the Podcast, Navy Seal and cofounder of "Little Belt Cattle Company". I really enjoyed our conversation Greg & his partner have a lot of exciting things happening in there venture as first generation cattle ranchers... Little Belt Cattle Company is a family owned and operated American brand founded by combat veterans. We care about raising high quality beef that doesn't destroy the land we love in the process. Our products are born, bred, grazed, processed and eaten right here in the US of A- and we are damned proud of that. If you want imitation fake meat with a kale smoothie on the side- look elsewhere. If you care about providing your family with the highest quality beef or if you catch yourself longing for that western way of life, Little Belt Cattle Company is the brand for you. If you are like us, your grill stays hot no matter the season or weather, your house constantly smells like smoked meat, and your newsfeed is full of food porn. If you have ever heard from your significant other “So you are really staying up all night to make a brisket?”, know you are not alone.  We are named for the Little Belt Mountains, a small range that frames the northern border of our ranch that embodies our values in its likeness. Hard people settled here long ago, and we honor them by pouring our own blood, sweat, triumph, and tribulation into this land. Building a start up cattle company in 2020 isn't for the faint of heart. You can be sure when you buy Little Belt beef or wear the L-B brand you are representing the American dream and proving that it's still alive and well. We exist to fuel your adventures, family dinners, BBQs, good times, health and dreams in a way that is both good for you and good for your environment. We are Little Belt Cattle Company, a proud American Brand.  Resources: Show Sponsors: @moderncowboypodcast @moderncowboyperformance www.moderncowboy.global https://nrsworld.com/collections/modern-cowboy (Modern Cowboy) @nrsworld @twistedx Show Music: “Cowboy” By: Kolt Barber https://www.koltbarber.com/ (https://www.koltbarber.com/) “The Ropin Pen” By: Trent Willmon https://trentwillmon.com/ (https://trentwillmon.com/) MC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand @tyhbrand

Had an awesome time on the Podcast talking with Dave Galuszka a real Cowboy from New York & Founder of "Ranch House Coffee". Cowboys brewing coffee is a tradition that can be traced back for generations. We've never wavered on the cowboy values set before us; do what has to be done. There have been no apologies, just pride in our work to provide you the perfect cup to brew.
