Recorded at the 2026 Cinch Playoffs Governor’s Cup, world-class breakaway roper and professional rodeo athlete Josie Conner joins Tarek on Y’all Street for an inside look at the sport, business, and mindset behind her career. She capped off an incredible Governor’s Cup by winning the breakaway roping event on the final night with a blazing 1.9-second run. From growing up in a rodeo family in Iowa, Louisiana, to becoming one of the sport’s standout competitors, she shares the journey that brought her to this point and what it takes to compete at the highest level. She breaks down the skill and speed behind breakaway roping, how the sport has evolved, and the important role her horses—especially her 17-year-old horse, Dutch—play in her success. Throughout the conversation, Josie and Tarek cover a wide range of topics, from the mental side of competition and handling setbacks to the business of rodeo, financial literacy, personal branding, and the future of breakaway roping. She also shares what she hopes to see for the sport as it continues to grow, including the push to bring breakaway roping into the Thomas & Mack Center during the National Finals Rodeo. The conversation closes with an early 23rd birthday surprise: a newly minted Texas Precious Metals Josie Conner Silver Round. Today, on her birthday, we’re celebrating her story, her accomplishments, and the launch of her new silver round, now available from Texas Precious Metals.
