Montana Made Me

February 23 | 10:45 - 11:30

Flint Rasmussen, former professional rodeo barrelman, tells his personal story of how a kid from a town of 1,700 people rose to center stage in the biggest sports arenas in the country. It’s a fast-moving, heartfelt look at how rural roots, hard work, and core values shaped that journey—and still matter today.

As the world changes, this session is a reminder that the principles learned in rural America and the West—grit, accountability, and authenticity—are timeless. No matter where you go or how far you travel, those are the things people expect, recognize, and respect.
