Ep. 67: Telling Rodeo’s Story: Garrett Yerigan on Work Ethic, Grit, and Rodeo Culture

Garrett Yerigan is a two-time PRCA Announcer of the Year and one of the most recognizable voices in rodeo today, known for bringing energy, insight, and storytelling to some of the sport’s biggest stages, including Cheyenne Frontier Days, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, and the IFR. Raised in a rodeo family and announcing since childhood, Garrett shares how that foundation shaped his career, along with the behind-the-scenes process of earning a PRCA contractors card and what it really takes to build a long-term career in the industry. He offers practical advice for young adults finding their path, reflects on grit as a defining trait of rodeo athletes, and explains why rodeo stands apart as the only sport that is truly a way of life, not just a competition.
