   Losing It All, Starting Over & the Science of Better Health | Chris Schuetze

   What happens when life knocks you down, your business falls apart, and the company you believe in is no longer yours to build? You start over and build something of your own. On Episode 34 of Everyone Has a Story, hosted by Cam and Cody, we welcome Chris Schuetze, founder and owner of Tracer Minerals, all the way from Cimarron, Kansas! Chris has experienced the highs and lows of business firsthand. From owning a large feedlot that eventually crashed, to working for multiple companies and being let go, Chris has faced his share of setbacks. But instead of walking away from an industry he believed in, he took a chance and built his own company. Today, Tracer Minerals is a family-owned business specializing in true amino acid chelated minerals, with products designed for livestock, humans, pets, and even crops. In this episode, we dive into Chris's journey of entrepreneurship, failure, determination, and the science behind mineral supplementation. We discuss why minerals are so important, how the body absorbs and utilizes them, and the potential benefits of proper supplementation for cattle performance, reproduction, immune function, and human nutrition. Chris takes us deeper into the chemistry behind true amino acid chelates, explaining why not all mineral supplements are created equal and why understanding what goes into our bodies and our livestock matters. This was also a special episode for us because Chris is our first guest to travel in from so far out of state! We're grateful he made the trip to sit down and share his knowledge, experiences, and story. Whether you're a rancher, business owner, someone interested in better nutrition, or simply someone who's had to start over in life, this episode has something for you. Because at the end of the day, success isn't always about how many times you win. Sometimes it's about how many times you're willing to start again. 🎙️ Everyone Has a Story — Hosted by Cam & Cody Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

   Braxton Smith — Taking Risks, Building a Career & Making Your Own Way

   This week on Everyone Has a Story, Kam and Cody sit down with Weston, Idaho local Braxton Smith for a conversation that goes just about everywhere — and that’s what made it so good. Braxton talks about growing up in a small town, being broke, taking chances, getting into sales, and eventually finding a career at PTI Stockyard that helped change the direction of his life. We get into the reality that good things don’t always just fall into your lap — sometimes you have to take the risk, put yourself out there, and go after the opportunities in front of you. We also talk about Braxton’s time with Search & Rescue, his leather tooling, family life, and plenty of stories and laughs along the way. We even tested out some new podcast equipment and brought Kaid Panek onto the show by phone for a conversation about some pretty wild ghost experiences. And somehow, we also end up talking about me scoping myself while sighting in my gun. 😂 This episode really is what Everyone Has a Story is all about. No single topic. No perfect script. Just a real conversation about life, work, family, taking chances, and the experiences that make us who we are. Episode 33 with Braxton Smith — you’re going to want to hear this one.

   Built in a Small Town: Matt Haslam’s Story

   Everybody sees the business. Not everybody knows the story behind it. 🎙️ This week on Everyone Has a Story, Cody and I sat down with local business owner Matt Haslam, owner of Preston Electric. Matt grew up right here in Franklin County, and we got into a little bit of everything — what childhood around Preston was like, how he ended up acquiring Preston Electric, the people who helped him get there, the support system behind him, and what it’s REALLY like carrying the responsibility of owning and running a business. And because you can’t talk about growing up around Preston without it coming up… yes, we talked Napoleon Dynamite too. 😂 This episode is exactly why we started this podcast. Sometimes the people you see around town every day have stories you’ve never taken the time to hear. Matt is a great example of someone who has built a life and business right here at home — but he’ll be the first to tell you he didn’t get there alone. 🎙️ Built in a Small Town: Matt Has-lam’s Story Listen to the full episode of Everyone Has a Story — hosted by Kam & Cody. If you enjoy it, share it with somebody local. Let’s keep telling the stories of the people who make our communities what they are.
