  • 78. Introducing Schools Of The West
    Nov 19 2024
    It’s hard to believe 2025 is almost here. I have been looking back at this year as well as what’s on the horizon. That’s what I’m talking about today: what’s coming up! In this episode, I am excited to dive deep into something we announced in October! In March of 2025, Of The West is launching a brand new platform called Schools Of The West. It is going to be an innovative online directory that is designed to connect people with educational opportunities specific to agriculture and western industries. I share how we created Schools Of The West to support the future of agriculture and the western way of life. I also walk through who the platform serves, what features it has, how the institutions and programs are benefiting from it, and how to learn more.

  • 77. A New Chapter for Mesa Pate and Art of the Cowgirl
    Nov 12 2024
    I’m honored to have Mesa Pate with us today. Mesa is a true cowgirl in every sense of the word. In today’s episode we talk about Mesa’s unique upbringing on a multi-generational ranch in Montana as well as all the traveling her rodeo family did. Mesa shares about her deeply close relationship with her mom, Tammy Pate. Together, they created Art of the Cowgirl. Mesa also shares the changes and challenges she faced selling Art of the Cowgirl, as she became a mom and, sadly, lost her own mom just last year. We talk all things Art of the Cowgirl with its new owners and the different educational programming, workshops, trade shows, horse shows, ranch rodeo, and horse sales it has to offer. Mesa’s wisdom at such a young age shines in this episode you don’t want to miss.
