   Cowboy, Western Artist, and Spur Maker - Mr. Phil Pattillo

   Welcome to the first episode of Hurd Mentality! I was blessed to have Chad Meyer co-hosting with me as we sat down with the legendary Mr. Phil Pattillo. After three hours around the mics, Phil still had stories left to tell. This episode is a bit of Phil's life and humor. We will be publishing a bonus episode soon called "Phil Pattillo - Horses, Hooligans, & Houlihands" which will include many more of his stories. Thanks for joining us on this first episode!
