Welcome to the aggressive life.

Who didn't want to be a cowboy when they were growing up?

Who didn't want to have their own horse when they were growing up?

Who didn't want to learn how to take a rope and rassel people, hassle people,

whatever the heck it was?

Anthony Lucia was born to be a cowboy.

As a young child, he toured America alongside his hero and father, Tommy Lucia, a cowboy and rodeo

Hall of Fame entertainer.

It was here that Anthony learned to ride and rope, but even more important, he learned the power of hard work, grit, and perspective.

He started performing in the rodeos himself as a child and was doing live interviews by the time he was a teenager.

He becomes a professional trick roper and team rooper in his early 20s.

And since then, he's added a live event announcer to his resume for PRCA Pro Rodeo,

America's largest and oldest professional rodeo circuit and sports broadcaster for Western TV to his resume.

Anthony is an impressive and determined man.

He's going out to make his own

positive dent in the world one rodeo at a time. So today we're going to talk about the cowboy work
