#132 TED: The Empowerment Dynamic: Introduction

In Episode 10 of our special series, Quiet Enough to Ride, host Doug Simcox dives into The Empowerment Dynamic (TED)—a powerful mindset framework created by David Emerald that teaches us that there are 2 orientations to life that we can take: victim or creator.

Doug shares a personal story about his friend and mentor David G., whose lessons in leadership, resilience, and self-awareness shaped Doug’s approach to rodeo, business, and life. This episode unpacks how TED can help athletes, leaders, and competitors stay focused, adapt to challenges, and take control of their success.

🔥 Key Takeaways: ✔️ The two core orientations—Victim vs. Creator ✔️ How mindset impacts rodeo performance and personal growth ✔️ The role of language in shaping resilience and decision-making ✔️ Actionable strategies to shift from problem-focused thinking to solution-based action

Whether you’re competing in the arena, leading a team, or navigating life’s challenges, this episode will help you build the mental toughness needed to thrive.
