#266 - Jordan Jo Hollabaugh | In The LOOP: Being Intentional in 2026

Five years ago, In The LOOP started with an iPhone, a truck seat, and a simple desire to tell stories that mattered. Today, it’s grown into a platform with over 250 episodes, a loyal community, and a new chapter as part of the Cowboy Channel.

In this solo reflection episode, In The LOOP Podcast host Jordan Jo looks back on the journey — from the early days of breakaway roping’s professional rise to the moments, conversations, and people that shaped the heart of the show. She shares how rodeo opened doors, introduced lifelong friendships, and ultimately laid the foundation for a podcast rooted in storytelling, curiosity, and faith.

Jordan Jo also pulls back the curtain on what’s ahead. As 2026 begins, In The LOOP is entering a more intentional season — one focused on deeper, wiser conversations and the pursuit of bold goals within the Western industry. This year’s episodes will center on women who are building, leading, competing, and evolving — both inside and outside the arena — alongside the men who support, challenge, and champion them.

From navigating identity and leadership to building businesses, making hard decisions, and celebrating wins we don’t talk about enough, this episode sets the tone for what’s next: honest dialogue, courageous questions, and conversations that matter.

If you’ve been here since the beginning — or you’re just joining — this episode is an invitation to step into the next chapter together.
