In today's world, we seem to be struggling with entitlement and people of all ages thinking they "deserve" things they haven't worked for. In this RodeoKids.com Podcast, host Camarie Widmer, talks about what it takes to "deserve" to win and what she thinks the secret competitive advantage will be for the future.

If you aren't already a huge fan of 2x NFR Qualifier Emily Beisel (Miller), you will be after listening to this podcast! Emily isn't just a successful barrel racer, but one of the most humble, hard working, open minded people chasing after those gold buckle dreams!
Emily doesn't come from a rodeo family and at age nine, her parents opened her first checking account where she learned about the costs of entry fees and having to work hard and win to be able to go up and down the road. While she has a great support system, she also has an education, has worked the full and part-time jobs to make her dreams come true!
