This week on the Grit Branded Podcast, Brad sits down with horseman, futurity champion, and trainer Miles Baker for the first of a two-part conversation. Recorded just before Miles headed to the Old West Futurity, the episode explores the experiences and values that shaped his journey.

Raised on his family's ranch in southwest Oklahoma, Miles reflects on the lessons he learned from his dad and granddad, particularly the work ethic, accountability, and commitment to taking care of business that continue to guide him today.

The conversation also covers his start training horses, his path into the rope horse industry, and the opportunities that led him to working alongside Trevor Brazile and helping build the Relentless Remuda program. Throughout the episode, Miles continually points back to his faith and the role God has played in directing his path.
