In our final full-length episode of this season of Beyond BattleCreek, we sit down with Pastor Alex and his wife Meredith. In this all-encompassing conversation, we covered everything from Alex and Meredith meeting at a small Christian college, their years in youth ministry in Northwest Arkansas, how BattleCreek Church was almost launched in Manhattan, and being called to a dying church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. One thing in particular struck me from my conversation from this conversation. As Alex was recounting taking a non-paying ministry job right after he married Meredith, he told me "you have to be willing to go anywhere, before God will call you somewhere." In calling Alex and Meredith to BattleCreek Church, God has helped turned Broken Arrow into the place to be.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. On this episode: McNellie's Restaurant Group's Lindsey Gifford discusses her role in the company as a managing partner overseeing popular restaurants The Tavern, Bull in the Alley and Wild Fork, plus the upcoming Bar Serra in Utica Square. Originally from OKC, Lindsey relocated to Tulsa in 2009 and took a job as a part-time waitress. She discusses working her way up in the industry and how it's changed since she started. McNellie's Group has numerous restaurants participating in Restaurant Week from Sept. 9-18. She discusses the importance of the event in helping feed Oklahoma kids through the Food Bank's Food for Kids program. Plus music from the Shelter People. ----It's a great time to be a music fan in Tulsa. I mean it's always been a good time, but now it's different. It feels even better. Maybe it's the resurgence of live music following two years of a lot of live streaming and YouTube sessions. You can catch a great show every night of the week. We publish weekly music listings (linked in the show notes). Save that link so you can check it out anytime and see who is playing where. In our October issue I talked to Cain's Ballroom co-owner Chad Rodgers about how things are going at the historic concert venue. If you go to a show this fall there's a good chance I'll be there enjoying it as well. So many great bands coming. I also talked to rapper Steph Simon about his upcoming Dreamland Festival happening in the Arts District over 918 Weekend. It will conclude with Hip-Hop 918 at Guthrie Green, which is celebrating it's 10th birthday the day this episode drops. Lots more happening there for the big anniversary. One of our most popular stories out the gate this month is about new music venue Thelma's Peach over in the Kendall-Whittier. They too have big plans for 918 weekend. And congrats to them on the successful opening in June. While we're talking major music happenings, coming up Nov. 2-5 is the Music Cities Convention. There will be talks and presentations, complimentary music tours, after parties and tons of live music and networking opportunities. It will be the biggest and longest Music Cities Convention yet because that's how we do it here. Like I said, it's a great time to be a music fan in Tulsa. Now on to this week's song from The Shelter People courtesy of Horton Records.You can order the EP and lots of other great music at HortonRecords.bandcamp.com.

When you think about the cities you love, it's the art that inspires you. When you step foot into Downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, one artist has left his mark.In this part 1 of 2 conversations with mural artist and educator Alex Tamahn, we discuss his artist's journey and mission to inspire a city.Learn more about Alexander at www.alexandertamahndesign.com and www.blackmoontulsa.comConnect with Alexander on Social Media@alexandertamahnLet me know on Instagram at @coach_chrisrodriguez.

Join Coach Chris Rodriguez for Soul-Life Balance Masterclass at https://coachchrisrodriguez.com/soul-life-balance/.Be sure to subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!Alexander Tamahn has been honing his wide range of skills and leveraging his invaluable partnerships to elevate his community and art simultaneously. His multifaceted artwork covers building facades, galleries, and private collections throughout the US. His engaging and spirited work is highly sought after and flows from the intersections of his passions for creative expression and positive social impact.Representation is an essential factor in the projected outcomes of BIPOC youth and young adults. Much of Alexander's practice is to enhance those outcomes by sharing his work and experiences and providing art-making opportunities and professional development. Tamahn's art has become more prominent in public spaces. He believes public art is essential because no one needs permission to access and engage with it. His work has been featured on HGTV and DIY networks and in several significant publications. He's worked with Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, The State of Oklahoma, Wilsons Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, The National Historic Landmarks Program, and The Oklahoma City Thunder. He continues to make increasingly more prolific contributions to the creative canon as a Black queer artist.

On this episode I chatted with Macy Amatucci about her family business and specifically her role in the premier hotel in Tulsa, The Mayo. "Since first opening its doors in 1925, The Mayo Hotel in Downtown Tulsa has hosted thousands of prominent guests, including celebrities, political figures and titans of the oil industry. After closing its doors in 1981, the Tulsa landmark was vacant until December 2009. On the heels of an extensive $42 million dollar historic renovation, the property today has earned a reputation as the premier lodging and event venue in Downtown Tulsa – with 102 ultra-chic guest rooms, 76 luxury residences and nine event spaces with state-of-the-art technology to host the ultimate affair for up to 500 guests." for more information go to www.themayohotel.com follow The Mayo on instagram www.instagram.com/themayohotel This episode is presented by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Jeff sits down with Warren Ross, President & Chairman of Ross Group at their downtown Tulsa headquarters to hear his reflections about the importance of their connection to downtown and to the city as a whole and about what the company's mission and vision mean to him at a deeper level.He also shares about his life journey and career and how he got started in the construction business and about some very formative lessons that he has learned along the way.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. Late next year OKPop Museum is slated to open across the street from Cain's Ballroom. Once the doors open museum visitors will walk past an authentic Bob Wills tour bus as they begin learning about our state's rich and diverse history in pop culture and how it connects to today's famous Oklahomans.Blake Ewing is my guest on this episode. He serves as the museum's creative director. He provides a construction update on the new museum and shares when it's slated to open. Blake also talks about some exhibit concepts and how it all fits into an overall goal to connect our past to the present while inspiring future creatives. OKPOP will open on the heels of the television and movie industries embracing Oklahoma as the backdrop for stories to be told, with many of them being written about Oklahoma and/or by Oklahomans. Speaking of some pop culture, if you slept on the first season of Reservation Dogs, it's time to fire up Hulu and enjoy a great show co-created by Sterlin Harjo. It's the first show to be shot entirely in northeast Oklahoma, features the first all-indigenous writers' room in Hollywood and it's got a killer soundtrack featuring numerous Okie musicians. ICYMI, Sterlin was also on the podcast last fall.Blake talks about the greatness that is Rez Dogs and the growing film industry and how both those things mean great things for the museum and our state. Blake is featured in this month's issue in our covers revisited piece from our 2009 downtown issue, when he, Elliot Nelson and Marybeth Babcock graced the cover as leaders of downtown revitalization before the BOK Center and ONEOK Field were built. At the time, Blake owned Joe Momma's Pizza and some other food and bar operations. He was also a city councilor representing downtown, so he's been involved in downtown's growth in various ways over the last two decades. He reflects on those old days of downtown and how it's continuing to grow and evolve, including his buddy Elliot's upcoming Santa Fe Square, which you can read about in our October issue. I love pop culture and downtown, so I had a lot of fun chatting with Blake. Following my conversation with him, hear a song from Thabos. More on that later.Just a reminder that if you haven't already subscribed to this channel, you should. We share two in-depth conversations a month, plus multiple mini episodes of About Town that go behind the scenes of the magazine and more.

Thabos' goal is to reach lost ones with his passion of music and art. He started making music on his phone at age 15 in Richmond Virginia, and since then has released over five projects, one being “HIS OWN: MY OWN” which took over 2 years to make in his ORU dorm room. Thabos says he is far from done, he has plans for music and much more and says he is working on a new project that will dwarf any that have come prior.Find him on Instagram @_thabos (and his music is on Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube.

On this episode I sat with John Snyder at The Mayo Hotel. John and has family have a fascinating story of how they purchased and rescued The Mayo Hotel. In this podcast John tells the story of how he bought the rundown hotel for 1 DOLLAR! 1! If you dont know the history behind the hotel. Every dead president has stayed there, there are 76 apartments where people live all year round.  "Since first opening its doors in 1925, The Mayo Hotel in Downtown Tulsa has hosted thousands of prominent guests, including celebrities, political figures and titans of the oil industry. After closing its doors in 1981, the Tulsa landmark was vacant until December 2009.

Not only is John a historic real estate developer he has a huge passion for motorcycles. In his early years before going to college he was a professional motocross rider and toured the country! After laying the bike down for 30 years he is now back at it. John has a local museum down the street from the hotel called The Mayo Moto Museum.

The Tulsa Arts District is a diverse, culturally robust district in Downtown Tulsa. Grown from an historic oil-rich past with icons including the Brady Theater and Cain's Ballroom, the District has evolved over time to become a creative, community-driven engine of the Tulsa economy. With a variety of retail and service shops, restaurants, bars, clubs, galleries, museums, parks, private businesses, and historic music venues we welcome you to Arrive Early and Stay Late in the Tulsa Arts District! The Tulsa Arts District is located in the northern section of downtown Tulsa. It is bordered by Denver on the west, Elgin on the east, the IDL (I-244) on the north and the railroad tracks on the south.

Today on “Tulsa Foodie,” I’m spotlighting Hodges Bend, a coffee and cocktail bar in Downtown Tulsa. Joining me for a quick chat is co-owner Noah Bush.  Noah got into the restaurant business at a young age and has worked a lot of different jobs in the industry over the years. He always had a love of food, but after he started working at a wine bar here in town, he fell in love with wine too. After making a name for himself at Doc’s Wine & Food, he met up with his business partner and they developed the concept of a bar that specializes in coffee, wine, and cocktails.  Aside from serving high-quality drinks, what you might not know about Hodge’s Bend is that they also serve food. They open at 7 a.m. every weekday and serve breakfast all throughout the day. Once nighttime hits, they switch over to their dinner menu, and on weekends they also serve brunch. Moving forward, they plan to make a few exciting menu changes while retaining their core products. “Moving forward, they plan to make a few exciting menu changes while retaining their core products.” “We always wanted to be a bar with really good food,” Noah says. With his wine background and the background of their two chefs, they plan on putting on more wine dinners in the future. What they’re really known for, though, is their drinks, and I had the pleasure of sampling their best-selling item while we sat at the bar: Irish coffee. Their version of this popular cocktail is made with espresso, sugar syrup, Irish whiskey, and a nice, thick layer of cream on top.  If you want to try one yourself, you can find Hodges Bend at 823 3rd Street. If you’d like to know more about their establishment, you can visit their website at www.hodges-bend.com/welcome-tulsa/ or email them at info@hodges-bend.com.  If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

You may know her as the Kevin Bacon of Tulsa, the former executive director of TYPros, or as the founder of Zakerion Strategies and Consulting, but title aside, Shagah Zakerion might just be Tulsa’s biggest fan, and the city’s fiercest advocate. Shagah’s unique resume and passion for the city have made her the perfect booster for Tulsa’s latest up-and-coming development. The Arena District Master Plan is a vision for the 30-block Arena District, located on the western side of Downtown Tulsa, Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad to the north and west, Boulder Avenue to the east, and 11th Street to the south. It contains some of downtown’s largest convening places — the BOK Center, the Cox Business Center, the Paige Belcher building, the Central Library, yet is far less developed than other downtown districts. Over the past eight months, a group of dedicated City Staff, community representatives and a consultant team — including Shagah — have been hard at work developing a strategic plan to reposition and revitalize the Arena District. This re-imagining is supported by Vision Tulsa, an $884 million sales tax renewal package approved by voters in 2016, is making substantial investments in economic development, education, public safety, streets and transportation needs citywide. The final master plan open house was held of September 26, and the official unveiling will be sometime this month. Lucky for us, Shagah is offering a sneak peek at the ambitious vision outlined by the Master Plan. Follow Shagah on LinkedIn, on Twitter and Instagram.
