## Resource

What if the biggest opportunity in ranching isn’t working harder, but thinking differently? In this episode, John Haskell sits down with Crockett Carothers to explore how adopting an entrepreneurial mindset can fundamentally change the trajectory of a ranching operation and the people behind it. Crockett shares his journey from a traditional cowboy lifestyle to becoming deeply immersed in business, sales, and personal finance, and how that shift was driven by a desire to provide for his family without sacrificing the ranching way of life. The conversation dives into the importance of value creation, understanding money, and breaking free from limiting beliefs around wealth.
