KEITH RYAN CARTWRIGHT is a journalist, advocate for public education, libraries, and independent bookstores, and an occasional adjunct professor of journalism for the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University. He has interviewed a former president; two Nobel Laureates; Congressional and military leaders; Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and innovators; Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, Tony, and Pulitzer Prize winners; members of the Rock & Roll and County Music halls of fame; Olympic gold medalists; philanthropists and a humanitarian, who lived in a teepee. On this episode of Creative Mind, we talk about Keith’s career from following musicians around the country to Hollywood to becoming the head writer for the international sports league PBR – Professional Bull Riders. For more than 13 years, Cartwright has chronicled professional bull riding, rodeo, and the Western way of life. Now he has penned “Black Cowboys of Rodeo”, a book that chronicles these unsung heroes from Harlem to Hollywood and the American West. A book that author of the best-selling book Ali: A Life, Jonathan Eig extolls as, “resurrecting larger-than-life characters who will amaze and inspire readers.”
