With Hat and Cattle
With Hat and Cattle is built on stories that are earned, not borrowed. We sit down with people who’ve put in the miles, learned the hard lessons, and kept showing up when it would’ve been easier to quit. This is a place for straight talk and quiet wisdom. You know, qualities that many Texans hold dear.
These are stories meant to be listened to slow, turned over, and carried with you. Because when you hear from people who truly walk the walk, you don’t just feel inspired. You leave better for it.

The Business of Becoming: Paul Dallas Roberts on Healing While Leading
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you're running a successful business on the outside—but barely holding it together on the inside? In this raw and redemptive conversation, Paul Dallas Roberts shares what it was like to sell a company while battling alcoholism, and how recovery didn’t just save his life—it reshaped his definition of success.
Now the founder of a thriving new venture, Paul opens up about rebuilding from the ground up, leading with vulnerability, and what it truly means to come back stronger.
This episode is for the builder who's quietly struggling, the leader questioning their worth, and anyone who believes it's too late to start again. Spoiler: it’s not.
Topics include:
- Navigating leadership through personal crisis
- How addiction shaped—and sharpened—Paul’s entrepreneurial journey
- The mindset shifts that turned recovery into a superpower
- Building a second act with purpose, grit, and grace
