In this episode, we sit down with Braxten Nielson, a bareback rider who defied the odds after a bareback riding accident gave him just a 5% chance to ever walk again. He shares the story of his life-changing injury, the grueling road to recovery, and how he refused to accept a future without walking. Braxten dives into the mindset, discipline, and relentless determination it took to get back in the arena, to a life he wanted, and proving that with grit and heart you can overcome any obstacle. Whether you're a rodeo athlete or just someone chasing a big goal, this episode will leave you fired up and ready to push past your own limits!
