What if gratitude could change the direction of your entire life? Trevor Brachtenbach’s “Gooder Than Shit” philosophy is funny on the surface—but underneath it is a powerful story of faith, purpose, transformation, and choosing to find the good even when life gets hard.

In this episode of Wake Up With Giants TV, Trevor Brachtenbach shares his journey from Colorado feedlots, ranch work, breaking colts, riding bulls, partying, and chasing adrenaline to asking a much bigger question:

What am I really here for?

At only 28, Trevor has lived a life rooted in the Western values of hard work, loyalty, grit, keeping your word, and getting back up when life knocks you down. But his greatest transformation may have nothing to do with ranching.

It’s the internal journey.

Trevor opens up about changing direction, developing his relationship with God, choosing gratitude, discovering greater purpose, and creating The Ranch Squad—a TikTok community built around loyalty, encouragement, belonging, and making sure everyone has a place at the table.
