About this podcast

What Makes the Cow Guy Cry pulls back the curtain on one of the most recognizable voices in the financial world and introduces you to the man behind the markets. Known to millions as Scott Shellady, "The Cow Guy," Scott has spent decades breaking down the headlines that move commodities and equities, delivering sharp market insight and closing-bell commentary alongside industry heavyweights. But beyond the trading floor, the television hits, and the fast-moving markets, there's a deeply human story that hasn't often been told, until now. In this podcast, Scott steps away from the charts and into his own life. From graduating as a finance major from the University of Colorado Boulder just before the market crash of 1987, to navigating early job interviews built on 100% commission, Scott traces the winding, uncertain path that led him to Chicago, where a $125-a-week job and parking cars at Harry Caray's marked the very beginning of something bigger. Listeners will hear firsthand stories of taking risks, betting on himself, and making life-altering decisions, including moving to London at just 24 years old with no cell phone, no place to live, and no safety net, and how one major misunderstanding nearly ended his career before it truly began. What Makes the Cow Guy Cry is about more than finance. It's about ambition, resilience, fear, failure, and reinvention. It's about the moments that don't make the highlight reel, the ones that shape who we become. Whether you know Scott as a market expert or you're discovering him for the first time, this podcast invites you to meet the person behind the persona and explore what really drives him when the trading day ends. Because everyone has a story, even the Cow Guy.
