Episode Description
Texas was built by people willing to move toward a horizon they couldn’t fully see. That frontier spirit still lives on today — not as rebellion for rebellion’s sake, but as responsibility taken seriously. In this episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott explores modern Texas independence: owning your choices, trading blame for action, and stewarding your own life with intention. This is about freedom earned through responsibility, not luck or guarantees.
