Larry Rhoden, governor of South Dakota, rancher, veteran, and longtime public servant, has dedicated his career to service, faith, and community. Raised on the ranchlands of the state and shaped by his years in the National Guard, Larry served in both the South Dakota House and Senate before bringing decades of legislative and leadership experience to the role. Rhoden was elevated to governor when Kristi Noem was appointed as secretary of homeland security.

In this episode, Larry sits down with Tarek at the Governors Cup, right in the heart of South Dakota’s rodeo country, to reflect on his path from ranch life to public office, the insights he’s gained, and the values that shape his leadership. He highlights his commitment to safeguarding freedoms, defending property, and leading with faith and integrity - principles he continually strives to uphold.
