Summer gets busy fast. One minute you're easing into warmer weather and the next you're juggling sports schedules, swim days, camping trips, road trips, late nights around the fire and trying to keep the house from completely falling apart in the middle of all of it.

And if you're a cat family too, there's still the everyday stuff waiting for you at home, including the litter box.

That's why Whiskers litter robot is such a game changer

during busy seasons. It automatically cycles after every use, so you're not constantly scooping

or dealing with litter cleanup every single day. It just handles the dirty work for you. And the

Whisker app notifies you about your unit, like when a clean cycle is complete, when drawer levels

are getting full, or if the unit needs attention. You can always track things like your cat's weight and bathroom usage over time, which makes it easy to stay aware of changes without having to constantly check in. Honestly, during a pack summer, having one last daily chore to think about makes a huge difference. Maintain your cat's litter while focusing on your growing family. more about whisker litter robot models and

My name is Jenny Urton, I'm the founder of 1,000 hours outside. And I'm a really exciting guest today. This is like, I felt this was kind of like pretty happenstance, how this happened. But I love what you're doing. And I'm so glad you said, yes, Justin Jackson from Horse Pen Ranch. and you do all these really cool things at Silver Dollar City, which I've been to.

It's in Branson, Missouri.

Welcome, Justin. Jackson from Horse Pen Ranch and you do all these really cool things at Silver Dollar City,

which I've been to. It's in Branson, Missouri. Welcome, Justin. Thank you. Glad to be here.

Okay, so here's how this happened. Your wife, Janissa, is, so she, it's like Dr. Janissa Jackson.

She came on the show and she does a lot with brain health and she had done a webinar. We're in Michigan. You're in Oklahoma. So she'd done this webinar here in Michigan, like, obviously it wasn't in Michigan. It was like through Zoom about brain health for a bunch of homeschoolers. And so then that's how we connected. And then I had this chance to talk with her about like all the things that she has to offer and through

the course of the conversation you came up like how you got you know you do this work and you do this

kind of like almost cowboy cooking and Silver Dollar City and I was like well I'm actually really

interested in that too and then you said yes you would come on. So once again, huge thanks for saying yes.

Could you give us some of your backstory?

Like I was watching one of your YouTube videos and you were talking about your Chuck.

Wait, wait, what was it even called?
