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.

Lucky number 13, published on October 13th, and it's a first--our first virtual interview!
From knocking on the doors of diabetes and high cholesterol, to competing at the IRONMAN World Championships, Coach Hector Torres embodies what it means to turn your life around, one disciplined choice at a time.
In this episode of Suite Mornings, Dani sits down with USA Triathlon Level 3 Certified Coach Hector Torres, founder of TriPeak Athlete
and host of the podcast Coffee Time with Coach Torres. Hector shares his journey from receiving a wake-up call at 18 to becoming one of the top endurance coaches in the sport, guiding athletes at all levels to reach their full potential.
Hector opens up about the mental side of triathlon (how athletes often enter endurance sports to heal from trauma), and reveals his own battles with fear and self-doubt. He dives deep into the power of finding your why, facing the fear of the unknown, and leading by example, both on and off the course.
Whether you’re an experienced triathlete, a weekend warrior, or someone chasing growth, this conversation will leave you motivated to face your own Ironman, whatever that looks like in life.
Tune in for:
- The story behind Hector’s transformation from 263 pounds to elite triathlete
- Insights into training the mind as much as the body
- Coaching wisdom from years with TriPeak Athlete and Special Olympics
- The mindset behind endurance, resilience, and conquering fear
- How to uncover your personal “why” to keep moving forward
