Acela Turco was born in Cuba. She and her family fled Cuba in the 60s to escape the beginning of the Castro regime. She recounts the story of her family facing immense scrutiny and danger in their efforts to leave the country; including the murder of a family member (in front of the family) by Raul Castro.

This is a story of being brave in the face of fear of persecution or death; the virtues of freedom, and the cost that some pay to earn it.

Cowboys not Eggheads

Welcome to Cowboys not Eggheads where I visit with guests about topics like loyalty, honesty, authenticity, courage, integrity and resilience.

I come from a cowboy raised and egghead educated background. I’ve saddled and rode a horse, been on multiple cattle drives, fed cattle in 40 below temperatures, worked cattle in a corral, put up hay in 100 degree temperatures, fixed fence …. you name it …

I attended high school at a prestigious private school. I got a College degree.

I spent 31 years as a national political operative, owned my own business and spent 13 years as a police officer.

My interesting life has lead me to the conclusion that the world is made up of cowboys and eggheads. I believe that we should have a few more cowboys than eggheads. Get ready, because you’re about to be pulled into the story of my life……
