About this listen

This week on the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast, the conversation gets real.

We talk about mental load, burnout, broken equipment, and whether it's finally time to hire a full-time operator. When you're scaling a ranch business, the work doesn't slow down — the stakes just get higher.

Billy opens up (a little) about perfectionism and why he won't ask for help. We break down what it actually costs to run heavy equipment every day, why things break, and why $1,800–$2,000 per day isn't as crazy as it sounds.

We also talk about:

  • 9 million social media views in 24 days

  • Landing strategic sponsors (skid steers, mulchers, medical partners & more)

  • Why some companies won't ever get our business again

  • Growing the ranch without losing what makes it real

  • And somehow… toilet paper sponsorships

This isn't a highlight reel.
It's what scaling a working ranch actually looks like.

Real Horses. Real Ranch. Real Talk.
