In 2005 Lance Byrd bought a 320 acre horse ranch outside of Ft. Worth. His dream? Start a horse training facility. How did he go from that to being the rural Disney for traveling baseball families?
You'll have to listen find out!
In a couple weeks I'll be visiting the ranch to make a video of the facility. Be sure to check back for that.
In today's podcast we talk about:
- How he started the ranch
- WHY he started the ranch
- Where he makes his money
- What makes his ranch special
- Unit volumes, etc
- Much much more.
You're gonna LOVE this! Lance Byrd is awesome! Enjoy!
