Way Out West! with the Colorado FFA Foundation
From corn farmer to cowboy, we want to hear voices that know western life and agricultural ties. Each week, we will be speaking with various leaders, businesspeople, policy makers, advocates, personalities, and everyone in between. You see, we're not just passionate about agriculture, but we’re interested in showcasing the people who feed America and getting to know what they’re all about!
This podcast is hosted by Aidan Datteri, a past Colorado FFA State Officer and fifth-generation agriculturalist who has a passion and intrigue for all things agriculture.

The Flyin' H on the inside of every one of Travis Hamblen's handmade cowboy hats stands for Heritage, History, Hope, and Hard Work. That's what this episode brings to you.
In this episode of "Way Out West!" with the Colorado FFA Foundation, we’re stepping into the workshop of Travis Hamblen, the master craftsman behind Hamblen Hats. Travis isn't just a sponsor of the foundation; he is a living example of what happens when grit meets entrepreneurship.
We dive into the steam and the sweat of the custom hat-making process, but we don't stop at the brim. Travis shares his journey growing up in the heart of the agricultural community, reflecting on the folks and lessons that shaped his worldview long before he ever picked up a hatter’s tool.
