In this episode we are joined by the phenomenal author, entrepreneur, and fellow podcaster:  Abriana Johnson (find her at blackunicorncreative.com). In this epic recounting of her very first trail-ride, Abriana demonstrates that sometimes, to be a badass, you just need to close your eyes and hold on. Through this incredible story we reflect on the power of community,  what it means to trust, and how to ride through uncertainty. ABOUT ABRIANA JOHNSON: Abriana Johnson is a personal chef/chauffeur/groom/fur mom of 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 horses. In her day job, she is an author, graphic/web designer, and equestrian with a knack for helping equine entrepreneurs grow their businesses through online platforms. Her passion for representation in the horse industry has led her to write multiple children's books, host a podcast, and advocate for equity and inclusion at the highest platforms of horse sports. 

This episode we are overjoyed to hear from a gen-z herd member who inspires us with a story of self-discovery. We can’t wait for you to meet our guest, Jake Batchelor, as he takes us around the world to the islands of Samoa and reminds us that wherever we are, whatever we’re doing, we always have the opportunity to self-reflect, to keep an open mind, and to deepen our ability to love. Congruence can take courage and, lucky for us, Jake has mastered both in abundance. 

This episode, esteemed herd-member Moe Riyami shares a story about his experience as a black man with police in the United States. Together, we use the Diamond Model to help us process this bleak image of reality and look with hope towards the future. When one of us faces injustice, so do we all. At Let’s Be Herd we stand together committed to the health, harmony, and unity (but not uniformity!) of our whole herd. BLM.

In the very first episode of Let's Be Herd, Beth explains what this narrative-centered podcast is all about. She shares a scandalous story from her youth and invites you to join her in the process of self-reflection. The Morgans chime in to talk about the Diamond Model and debrief Beth's narrow escape from a dangerous collision... Welcome to The Herd!
