Wow Gary was a major part of my success in life. When I was 15 he was on the cover of Pro Rodeo Sports News 1985. The article changed my life. I ordered Psycho Cybernetics and Peak Performance by Charles Garfield. Read both books like crazy and did all the visualization exercises. Won the state championship in bareback riding that year in Oklahoma junior rodeo. 12 dislocated shoulders later I had to quit. Started a business at 28 and sold 86 franchises using what Gary teaches. Thank you Gary you have helped many. God Bless Gary Leffew!

Save the Magic!

Gary rode the Alsbaugh bull Droopy back in the seventies. That was a very hard thing to do. Droopy was one of the rankest bulls of that era. I would love to hear Gary’s take on that.

This was the greatest interview I've ever listened to and I've seen a lot. Gary is the most amazing person, mind wise I've ever heard. What a great podcast.

Great show. I went to Judd Leffews bullriding school in Tennessee many years ago. It was great to talk with Judd and would get on the phone with his Dad. We had some great times. Found out what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong. Constructive criticism. We all sat in a hotel room in Savanna TN. Got on 19 practice bulls during the four day school. It was a heck of a experience. It improved my bullriding...didn't win a whole lot but was able to be on par riding some great IPRA bulls. Also used to have one of Gary's motivation cassette tapes and used to listen to his motivational messages. Thanks Gary and Judd.

Man this was a great one! I heard Johnny Knoxville talk very highly of his time spent with Gary. I hope he talks a little on that next time he’s on here.

Went to Gary's school over 1979-80 Christmas vacation. Was a highlight of my life. Was a senior in highschool. 7 of us loaded up in our buddy's parent's cab over camper and they drove us from Durango CO to Arroyo Grande CA. Would love to go back and do it all over again. The visualization is real. The last bull I placed on at a PRCA rodeo went pretty much like I visualized in my mind. Was like 38 or 39. Miss it every day.

How about considering Reed Flake. This is an excellent interview already great and getting better as it grows!

[@stevenward8093]

I agree. Reed flake would be a great podcast.

[@annprovost8420]

One of the best people I ever had the honor to meet, wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him.

[@stevenlohman7839]

I have really enjoyed this podcast of Gary . Man growing up in Colorado I had a poster in my room of him and Denny Flynn . I love his positive thoughts and just his badass attitude. It was one of the best interviews ever. Thank you for that

[@g.l.williams1178]

He’s a great guy! I went to 2 schools back in the late 90s down in California! Life changing! A true CATDADDY!

[@jeremysavoie6027]

I think you need to have Shawn Williams from Pearl Snap Fever on to give some cowboy fashion tips. He’s cool. #keepsnappin

gary told me once...our doubts are traitors lest we loose the fear we can not win by failure to obtain

[@gizagetsdough]

Yeah this was fire 🔥

[@bcg3166]

Gary trained Luke Perry in his role as, Lane Frost, in the movie 8seconds. Mr. Leffew is a. 1970 World Champion and Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame Bull Rider!

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

He made a believer out of me when he rode the bull Droopy owned by Walter Alsbaugh. I think Gary was the only man to ride him. Droopy was bucking bull of the year one year.

[@alexanderschexnider2957]

Can we get cody webster?

[@bplumbj]

Outstanding! Amazing guy!

[@Lancewest1975]

Great one !

[@jeremiahlesleawilder5329]

Gary is exactly right I went to two of his schools back in the 90’s I couldn’t ride in a covered wagon with my shirt tail nailed to the floor but when it all started making sense I started winning Brett his oldest son is a great teacher as well I rode with Judd a bunch good bunch of fellas

[@904LILLEE]
