  Nine Years Later: Kathy Grimes’ Road Back to the NFR | #293

  Oct 1, 202648 min

  Nine years. A homebred horse. A world record. And a trip back to the NFR. This week on In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with Kathy Grimes, DVM following an incredible 2026 season and her second National Finals Rodeo qualification. Kathy opens up about the journey from her first NFR appearance in 2017 to earning her way back nearly a decade later — and how much life, rodeo, and horsemanship happened in between. They dive into the story behind her standout horse, Showy, from Kathy’s breeding program to becoming the horse that helped carry her back to the Finals and set a standard-pattern world record. But Kathy is quick to share that even a record-setting season comes with doubts, mistakes, injuries, pressure, and the constant mental battle of learning to focus on what could go right instead of everything that could go wrong. Kathy also shares how her career as a veterinarian shaped her breeding program, why she believes so strongly in “mare power,” and the years of rebuilding and perseverance behind this full-circle season. From the science behind breeding great horses to the mental toughness it takes to keep showing up, this conversation is a reminder that success rarely happens in a straight line. ---- In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

  Sep 24, 202654 min

  Some conversations hit a little different when you look back on them. With Tim O’Connell making his comeback to the rodeo arena in 2026, we’re bringing this episode of In The LOOP back around — and his words feel more fitting than ever. “You’ll never forget rodeo, but rodeo will forget you. That’s as true as the day is long.” — Tim O’Connell In this episode, I sat down with three-time World Champion bareback rider Tim O’Connell to talk about the highs, the setbacks, the surgeries, the comebacks, and the faith that has carried him through every season. Tim shared what it means to redefine winning, find peace when plans change, and learn to let go without giving up. And now, watching him step back into the arena in 2026 makes this conversation even more special. If you listened the first time, it’s worth another listen. And if you missed it, now’s the time.

  Rodeoing North of the Border: Canada vs. U.S. Rodeo | Taylor and Rickie Engesser | #292

  Sep 10, 202650 min

  Taylor and Rickie Engesser are back In The LOOP—this time from the rodeo road! The Engesser sisters have been part of professional breakaway roping through some of its biggest years of growth, and in this episode they sit down with Jordan Jo to talk about what it has been like to experience that journey side by side. From growing up in a rodeo family to pushing each other in the practice pen, Taylor and Rickie share how being sisters has made them better competitors without losing sight of the fact that, when they back into the box, they are ultimately competing against themselves. They also look back on one of the biggest moments of Rickie’s career—winning The American—and why the people standing beside her made the accomplishment mean even more. Then, they take us north of the border. After years of competing on the U.S. rodeo trail, Taylor and Rickie decided to shake things up and chase a new goal: the Canadian Finals. They share what they’ve learned about Canadian rodeos, crossing the border with horses, entering, muddy arenas, new friendships, and why the experience has reminded them to enjoy the rodeo road while they have the opportunity to live it. This conversation is about more than winning. It’s about family, gratitude, growing with the sport of breakaway roping, and making the most of the miles along the way. ---- In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

  Bring the Joy: The Matt Merritt Story | #290

  Aug 13, 202659 min

  In this episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with 2025 Clown Act of the Year Matt Merritt for a conversation that goes far beyond the makeup and comedy. For 27 years, Matt has made rodeo crowds laugh, but behind it all is a story built on hard work, faith, family, and a genuine desire to bring joy wherever he goes. Matt shares how he got his start as a teenager in Louisiana, what he learned working everything from small rodeos to major events, and how “pulling his own wagon” helped shape his career. He also talks about building his personal brand, using social media as part of his business, and how rodeo has evolved over the years. The conversation turns personal as Matt opens up about his cancer journey, the role faith played in moving him from fear to peace, and how that season deepened his perspective on life. Jordan and Matt also talk about raising kids in rodeo, financial lessons, the responsibility of being someone younger generations look up to, and remembering that rodeo may be what you do—but it isn’t who you are. It’s funny, honest, faith-filled, and full of perspective from someone who has spent nearly three decades bringing joy to the rodeo world. ---- In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

  Breakaway Roper Jordan Jo Hollabaugh and Kenny Russell on Building the American Dream | Kenny Russell | #289

  Jul 23, 202651 min

  In this episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with Kenny Russell—the owner of Russell Feed & Supply—for a conversation about humble beginnings, hard work, and building an American dream that can last for generations. Kenny’s journey began in 1975 when his high school agriculture teacher helped him land a job at a local feed store for just $1.60 an hour. What started as a part-time position became a lifelong career—one built by unloading trucks by hand, serving customers well, and learning from mentors who believed in him. After working for the original owners for more than 22 years, Kenny was given the opportunity to purchase the business. Today, Russell Feed & Supply has grown from three locations into a family-run company with 12 stores, hundreds of employees, and deep roots throughout the agricultural community. Kenny shares how customer service became the foundation of the company, why he hires for personality and trains for skill, and what it takes to compete against big-box retailers while remaining locally owned and operated. They also talk about investing in employees, creating opportunities for the next generation, working alongside his daughter Megan, and why surrounding yourself with the right people can shape the direction of your life. At the heart of Kenny’s story is a simple reminder: The American dream is still alive—but you have to be willing to start at the bottom, remain patient, take care of people, and keep showing up. Tune in to hear how Kenny Russell turned a $1.60-an-hour feed store job into a lasting legacy built on faith, mentorship, service, and more than 50 years of hard work. ---- In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.
