Dewayne Noel is a wrangler, cowboy, educator, and founder of Dry Creek Wrangler School. Hustle culture often tells us that working harder is the only way to succeed—grinding through 80-hour weeks on 4 hours of sleep per night. But what if the real solution isn’t about working harder, but finding balance? What if true success lies in slowing down, savouring life, smoking a cigar on the porch occasionally and being fully present. How differently might we define success then? Expect to learn who Dry Creek Dewayne’s is, his backstory and upbringing, how to un-harden yourself, how any person can overcome & control their anger, what Dewayne has learned from working with horses, the dangers of being out of balance in work & life, how to have a better relationship with the voice in your head, how to find the right partner & why men need to learn to treat women better, why bad fathers are partly to blame for the downfall of America’s culture, what a day in the life of Dewayne’s life is like and much more….

Full Episode
How would you describe what you do if you meet someone for the first time? Wow. Well, what the school does is I bring people out for a week at a time and teach horsemanship. The basic fundamentals of working with horses and understanding horses. But that is more of a springboard experience. for life.
Um, I started out, we started out with a YouTube channel where I was just, just wanting to give some basic horsemanship tips and some things for young people who are wanting to get into wrangling or cowboying or packing. And, uh, and it took on a life of its own. And, uh, and we started getting a lot of questions, a lot of comments on the channel. It's like, Hey, if you'll start a school,
will come, you know, and so it's just kind of grown from there. So it's hard to say we teach horsemanship, but then we also try to help young people have a more grounded, solid approach to life.
What career did you want to do when you were a kid?
I wanted to cowboy. That was it. You know, every little boy in this country at a certain age, they want to be a cowboy when they grow up. The only difference for me was I never outgrew it. That's all I ever wanted to do.
Talk to me about your upbringing. What was childhood like?
Definitely not cowboy. I had a very solid family and my dad, my family, I'm the seventh generation of my family born in central Kentucky. My dad, my granddad, my great granddad and my mom's side of the family, too. And my dad was a Baptist preacher. We moved a lot for his work, but I didn't grow up.
My opportunities for farm work, ranches, and stuff like that was when I visited my grandparents back in Kentucky. And I knew back then this is, you know, what I wanted to do. It just, it took a while for me to be able to actually do it. Um, but I was raised in, in a, you know, a very close knit, very solid, very country, patriarchal family, you know, just very old school Kentucky. Okay.
What do the rest of your family think about having a rogue wrangler in it?
