Today I have the lovely Janie Finlay joining me. You might recognize her as Janie Johnson from her work on the Cowboy Channel, but today we get to know her a little better as she shares her experiences growing up and working in the rodeo world. Don't miss some of her favorite memories; from barrel racing to interviewing rodeo's top cowboys and cowgirls.

We also get a glimpse into Janie's personal life, including her recent wedding to saddle bronc rider, Jake Finlay. She gives us some insights into how they've managed to balance their careers with their relationship, which can be a challenge as they both travel so frequently! As an added bonus, Janie gives me a bit of a crash course on what dating is like in today's world.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this conversation with Janie Finlay – a cowgirl at heart with a whole lot of wisdom to share about the rodeo world and beyond.
