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.

Lessons in Hiring and Humility with Heath Hilliard (Replay)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some leadership lessons don’t come from textbooks. They come from moments that stick with you for years, sometimes decades.
In this episode of With Hat and Cattle, we pulled a previous conversation from the archives that deserves a repeat listen. Heath Hilliard shares the stories that shaped how he leads today. From showing up to a major sales meeting dressed completely wrong, to reconnecting years later with the mentors who challenged him the most, Heath reflects on the hard-earned lessons that changed how he thinks about leadership, business, and personal growth.
Those experiences eventually led him to launch EQHR and become a facilitator of the ZeroRisk hiring system, which helps companies avoid costly hiring mistakes and place the right people in the right roles.
In this conversation we talk about the following:
• Why culture fit matters more than raw performance
• The role emotional intelligence plays in leadership
• How great mentors shape the leaders we become
Remember, leadership isn’t built overnight. It’s built through stories, mistakes, and the people who challenge us to grow.
