85. Richmond Champion - Preparing For The Ride Of Your Life

Richmond Champion is a world ranked bareback rider.   He's a 5-time Wrangler Finals Rodeo Qualifier.  In 2014, he became the first rider to ever win over $1,000,000 at one event.  He currently resides in Stevensville, MT with his wife, Paige Lawrence, a former Canadian Olympic figure skater.   I was fortunate to catch up with Richmond while he was riding at the National Finals Rodeo in Arlington, TX.  The NFR is considered the World Series of rodeo.  We talk about life in the rodeo and what it's like to draw the toughest horse in the sport.  It just so happened he drew "Killer Bee" the day we connected.  We also dive into a rider's preparation before getting on the back of a bucking bronco and the mindset one has right before catapulting out of the chute.  In a sport where one wrong move can be the difference between life and death, having the right mindset is EVERYTHING. It's an amazing conversation and Richmond has a such a great perspective on his sport and life, in general.  I'm excited to share Richmond Champion with you!
