    Ep 18: From Fear to Fitter

    Everybody wants to be good at fitting and clipping but nobody wants to mess up a calf the first time they pick up a pair of clippers. In this episode, I share how I went from watching others fit… to fitting my own animals… to earning the trust to work for other people. We’ll talk about the three zones we all live in: comfort, learning, and fear, and why fitting puts most people straight into the red zone. I break down how mentors, camps, hands-on practice, and pressure pushed me into the yellow zone and changed everything. If you’ve ever been scared to start, worried about messing up, or unsure of your ability, this episode is for you. Hair grows back but the confidence and experience you build will change your future.

    Ep 15: Reset. Refocus. Restart.

    Welcome back to Get On Our Showbox. In this episode, Quinn talks about how to reset and refocus for the new show season. We cover leaving last year where it belongs, setting real goals that guide your daily routine, and what the first 30 days with new projects should look like to build good habits and bond with your calves. We also touch on mindset—controlling what you can, showing up every day, and remembering that banners don’t create momentum, your consistency does. If you're worried about the cost of going for it, imagine the cost of staying the same. Let’s get to work.

    Ep 14: Guided By Faith, Grounded in Grit: The Gladman Way

    In this episode, I sit down with my mentor, Mr. John Gladman, to dive deep into how he’s built a cattle company rooted in faith, family, and friendship. Working alongside John has not only shaped my perspective on the cattle industry but also strengthened my understanding of how faith and God’s guidance play a vital role in true success. This conversation goes beyond cattle. It’s about the culture, brotherhood, and shared purpose that faith can build within this industry. From leadership to mentorship, and from hard work to heart work, John’s story is one that inspires both in and out of the show ring.
