Come with me behind the scenes on a photoshoot for 2R Wellborn Ranch. They came to Hoegger Communications to document the incredible Ranch Life that flourishes just North of Henrietta, Tx.
Cattle branding, herding, cowgirls, cowboys, roping... this is epic!
2016 brought with it the some of the best moments in my career and some of the most difficult personal times I've ever faced. I'm thankful to God that I'm here today, and am able to share with you.
Let's take a look back at the year that was 2016 and the tremendous potential that 2017 has in store. I unveil my stretch goal of earning $25,000 in side hustle money in 2017. And ya, I keep it real.
Thank you all for the support, encouragement and for allowing me the opportunity to enter your world each week. Please, keep the two way conversation going. What topics would you like to see covered in upcoming episodes? What areas are you struggling with? Who would like to see interviewed on the show?
Enjoy, I'll see you in 2017.
