Our Go To Podcast

First of all, we love Oklahoma, so that’s how we found this show.

But you don’t have to be from here or even have visited Oklahoma to enjoy these personal stories of people following their passions.

Lots of inspiration here and everything is interesting when the people involved are passionate.

Chatter with Steve ,

Love hearing from Oklahoma business owners

Mike interviews tons of local business owners from the okc metro which is fun to hear being from around here and being able to know the business owners better.
