Welcome back Y'all! On this episode I had the incredible pleasure of talking to Randy Bernard. Randy is the former CEO of PBR (Professional Bull Riders) and IndyCar and is currently the co-manager for THE Garth Brooks.
In our conversation, Randy discusses the beginning stages of his career in building the PRCA and PBR, the importance of having a great network, his PHD philosophy, and a ton of stories from his life. We also talk about his good buddy Garth and just what a great man he is with helping songwriters and making his fans feel special. Enjoy!
