What is it really like to leave the city behind and embrace life as a cowboy? In this episode, we trace Tyler Lu's unique path from competitive running, to beekeeping and vegetable farming, to life as a regenerative cattle rancher in Roundup, Montana. Tyler shares the transformative experience of building a relationship with the land, the day-to-day realities of ranching life, and the complex dynamics of being a non-binary person of color in a traditionally conservative rural setting. We also dive into the myths surrounding the cowboy legend, exploring its true, multicultural history.
