Brady Finds His Life's Calling

Stephen Brady Dietert thought he would be a rancher like his family had done for 150 years. Then he thought he would be a rockstar -- then a rancher again. He says finding his life's calling in architecture was his big break, and this is the story of how that happened.

This story was recorded at the March 7, 2017 Worth Repeating with the theme "Big Breaks and Busts." Worth Repeating is Texas Public Radio's live storytelling event series.

Paul served at Texas Public Radio from 2011 to 2025, most recently leading the Accountability Desk.
