The Code of the West
Alive and Well in Wyoming

There was a time when cattle roamed the open range, a handshake sealed a deal, and people lived by a sense of right and wrong carried in the heart — the unwritten rules of the cowboy. Produced by Jim Owen, author of Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn From the Code of the West, and shot against the backdrop of Wyoming’s breathtaking landscapes and vibrant communities, this film presents an inspiring portrait of what it really means to live with honor, heart, and purpose.

Broomfield
Spirit of the American Dream

At the dawn of the twentieth century settlers and ranchers in the Broomfield area were drawn to the hilly land away from the growing cities for its clean air, expansive vistas and country charm. These same qualities inspired suburban pioneers in the 1950s to create a unique development on this land, featuring streets curved to the rolling contours of Broomfield Heights. Broomfield’s story reveals how Colorado's first Master Planned Community — the city by the turnpike — embodied the new spirit of the American dream.
