Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Brett is joined by Patrick Dorinson, author of The Common Sense Cowboy’s Guide to Life, to talk about cowboy values, personal responsibility, and timeless life lessons that feel increasingly rare in modern culture. Dorinson shares his unconventional journey from suburban California into the working cowboy world, explaining how loss, hard-earned experience, and time on the range shaped his outlook.

The conversation explores the importance of trust, keeping your word, self-reliance, and learning how to fix problems instead of outsourcing responsibility or blame. Dorinson contrasts old-school common sense with today’s impulse to litigate mistakes and avoid accountability, arguing that adversity is often life’s best teacher. He also reflects on regret, resilience, and the need to stop dwelling on “what might have been” in favor of action and perseverance. Throughout the segment, Brett and Dorensen highlight a shared belief that character, grit, and humility remain essential tools for navigating a chaotic world.
