In Episode 10 of our special series, Quiet Enough to Ride, host Doug Simcox dives into The Empowerment Dynamic (TED)—a powerful mindset framework created by David Emerald that teaches us that there are 2 orientations to life that we can take: victim or creator. Doug shares a personal story about his friend and mentor David G., whose lessons in leadership, resilience, and self-awareness shaped Doug’s approach to rodeo, business, and life.
