Roots Run Deep with Kenzie Kimbro

In this unfiltered and unforgettable episode, host Taylor McAdams kicks her boots up with one of her closest friends, Megan Ray. A social media powerhouse with deep rodeo roots, Megan shares her journey from the ticket booth of the Ellensburg Rodeo to managing social strategy for major Western brands. The two reminisce about their chaotic (and hilarious) internship during the 2020 NFR and how it trauma-bonded them for life: yes, including the time they became impromptu customer service reps when an entire streaming app crashed.

Through laughter, lessons, and lots of "mhm's," Megan reminds us that the best career moments often come from simply saying yes and believing in your own potential. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered if they belong at the table and decided to pull up a chair anyway.

We Didn’t Know What We Were Doing, But We Did It Anyway
