EP 985 Cowboy Wisdom for These Times

 You’ve heard the phrase ‘horse sense’ which generally means the ability to make good judgments or decisions.  In other words, common sense, about which we have often been told isn’t all that common. Our guest today, Patrick Dorinson, has a lot of what I described earlier, and he lays it all out in his new book, “The Common Sense Cowboy’s Guide to Life: Stories from the Old Guy at the End of the Bar.”  The book is a spirited read full of life lessons, based on his years working on ranch crews, winning buckles in cow work competitions and as a campfire teller of tales both tall and small alike. In the book, he and his contributor Mathew Klickstein, lay out the common sense cowboy’s 12 rules for life.  Number one on the list is “the secret to a long life is getting up every day with a purpose.  Young or old, working or retired, everyone needs a purpose so find yours.”  There so much more to benefit from in this podcast.  He’s also got a great voice and graces the book cover with his elegant handlebar mustache.  He’s the real deal.
