World champion breakaway roper, Shelby Boisjoli-Meged joins me today. We explore Shelby's remarkable journey in the rodeo world, her mindset, and her unique marriage to a fellow world champion calf roper. Shelby's childhood entry into rodeo and her thoughts on championing this demanding sport set the stage.

We also discuss the crucial role of perspective in rodeo, especially after a life-altering incident at the NFR, where Shelby reevaluated her priorities, embracing gratitude and cherishing every moment.

From there, we delve into the growth of breakaway rodeo, gender equality issues in the sport, and Shelby's extraordinary relationship with her husband, Haven.
