On this episode I chatted with Roger owner of Dog Tired Guitars, custom guitar builder and creator of some of musics greatest guitar straps! "I've always had a passion for old things and the stories that are born from seeing life in all of its imperfections.  To me, there's nothing better than taking an old, neglected structure — something with a history that's barely remembered — and using it to create something that inspires someone to start telling their own stories.  I started Dog Tired as a way of bridging the old and the new — the forgotten stories with the narratives yet to be told.  There's always been a sense of "mojo" around electric guitars.  People who love them know that each one has its own feel and character, and nothing inspires you to create like a guitar you connect with.  Whether it's preserving the history of Oklahoma with a Heritage Series guitar or preserving your own personal history with an Heirloom Series, our goal is to build something beautiful, unique, and meaningful — something that inspires you to tell a story." https://dogtiredguitars.com/ www.instagram.com/dog_tired_guitars  Huge thank you to our sponsors.

On this episode I chatted with Master Photographer and artist Heather Beadles about her unique business. Heather started her journey to portraiture long before she picked up a camera. Being the fourth generation Oklahoman to grow up on her family’s 1889 Land Run Farm, family legacy is a integral part of her heritage. With a passion to encourage marriages and families, she studied Family Relations and Child Development at Oklahoma State University. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Counseling she went on to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. It was about that time that she was given her first “real” camera and the love of capturing faces and stories was born. For over 15 years Heather has been honing her artistic skills in composition, posing, lighting and color harmony. Over time her portraits have evolved from photographs into hand-painted portrait art. By blending the crafts of photography and brush painting, subjects are no longer stuck with an artist’s “interpretation” of how they look, and as a result her embellished mixed media portrait paintings have become highly desired by her clients. https://www.beadlesportraits.com/ Huge thank you to our sponsors.

On this episode I chatted with David about the wonderful celebration of Route 66. The story of the American West is, at its heart, a story about movement. Folks moving across a wide, wild stretch of land—different people, cultures, and communities all heading west for their own reasons. Over time, the push westward became less about wandering and more about building—building ways to get people and goods from here to there. And at the center of all that movement? The roads, rivers, rails, and trails that carved their way through this rugged land. We tell that story in our new exhibition: Route 66: From Trails to Truck Stops.

On this episode I chatted with two time cancer survivor and serial entrepreneur Brook Taylor about her heroic journey, her motherhood, her businesses and her foundation. A Foundation for Brave, Gritty, and Hardworking Rural Women. "At Rural Gone Urban Foundation we break all the rules. It’s simple: we’re here for rural women who’ve had to fight harder than most, and we’re not just giving them a handout—we’re giving them a damn spotlight. Through love bombs, scholarships, and small business grants, we’re doing what others don’t: helping women get back on their feet, reignite their passions, and build legacies that will last longer than a bottle of ranch dressing at a family barbecue.  So if you’re a woman who’s been knocked down, underfunded, or told you can’t? Yes you can, and here’s a little money to prove it."
