She has clients throughout the world. During our conversation she offers some great life lessons and thoughts we all can use. Like many with whom I have talked on the Unstoppable Mindset Jackie encourages people to take time to let their mind slow down to better put our daily lives into perspective. She practices this while walking, but she also suggests other methods we can use to connect with ourselves. Speaking of connecting, Jaclynn is a strong believer in the fact that creating a circle of friends, or forming a team, is immensely important to our well-being.

Michael Hingson ** 01:21 Well, hi, Lee there once again, welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Glad you're with us. Today, I have the honor and pleasure of speaking to Jaclynn or sometimes we even call her Jackie. And Jackie is really kind of a cool person for a lot of reasons. Because Jackie Robinson is among other things, a graduate of UC Irvine where I graduated, and I ended up getting my master's degree in physics without blowing up the University. She came along a lot later than I did. Yeah. And she studied law and criminology and other things. So I you know, my thing statute of limitations is gone. So I'm saying I was worried there for a second. Laughter Yeah, we won't, not too much anyway. But she has a fascinating story. She is an executive coach, among other things, she has helped a lot of organizations and people with a variety of issues in terms of moving forward. And she'll tell us about that. Before the pandemic she also worked with incarcerated people. And I love what you describe them as, as what was it pre or early entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs and train entrepreneur entrepreneurs and training? Yes, there you go. Yes. So Jackie, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're glad you're here. Jackie Robinson ** 02:50 Thank you. Thank you. 02:52 Well, Jackie Robinson ** 02:53 good to be here. Michael Hingson ** 02:54 Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Well, tell me a little bit about you sort of maybe the early Jackie growing up and all that sort of stuff where and all the good stuff to lay the foundation for whatever comes later. Jackie Robinson ** 03:06 Yeah, all the goodies. Well, I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am a sooner so apologies to any Cowboys fans. We have a big rivalry in Oklahoma between Oklahoma State and Oklahoma University. And I think from you know, quite an early age, I knew I was going to be involved with people, places and animals. I loved culture growing up I was all about saving the dolphins Saving the Rainforest you know sign up to all of those magazines as an eight year old had them all on my wall wanted to adopt every child overseas and wanted to explore every country overseas. So flash forward to now and it was no surprise that international psychology criminology and sociology became my you know, kind of my my anchors in life for how I support people and travel the world and all of that good stuff. Michael Hingson ** 04:08 So you went and you got your undergraduate studies where University Jackie Robinson ** 04:12 of Oklahoma University of Oklahoma ology so Michael Hingson ** 04:15 that was that's, that's fair criminology why criminology? Jackie Robinson ** 04:21 I am so fascinated by the criminal mind. And just how repeat you ever want Michael Hingson ** 04:28 to be one just to see how it worked or No, no, go. Jackie Robinson ** 04:32 I'm so boring. I'm so boring. There's not speeding tickets. There's not much to find. I'm just the boring person. But I've always been so fascinated by those that have just turned to crime, whether it's nature versus nurture. And so I really was interested in actually Homeland Security or the CIA and becoming a spy or a forensic crime scene. An investigator, so that was kind of the path I thought I was gonna take. And psychology was where I started shifting into that master's initially so that I could, you know, shape up for that. And then I decided, you know, I don't think this world is for me towards performance coaching. Michael Hingson ** 05:20 So what kind of work did you do after college? Jackie Robinson ** 05:23 I was a behavioral therapist or qualified mental health counselor, or professionals what they would call them for juvenile delinquents. Dad, I worked for a city attorney's office as well. So the juvenile population was where I spent my early years of time. And then was in a PhD program for forensic psychology, loved everything about the materials and the course and you know, the courses. But it was, you know, it's so serious, and you spend the entirety of your days behind the prison system. And, you know, being on site here, and there is one thing, but going there pretty regularly to run forensic psychology assessments was something different. So that's when I started to kind of switch gears to say, What else might there be for me to, to get involved in? Michael Hingson ** 06:19 And so how did that lead to what you do today? Jackie Robinson ** 06:23 Yeah, I found an international psychology PhD program, and all the lights and bells and whistles went off, and it was just kind of like a low this is, this is your sign of what you should do, what you should be involved in. It was everything I got to study, you know, cultures across the world, I love traveling. It's it's thinking about the individual, it's thinking about us, as we relate to the environment around us from that collective side. And from there, I just hit the ground running. So it's, it's much more positive psychology focused and cultural psychology focused. Michael Hingson ** 07:05 So kind of what does that mean? Exactly? Yeah. Jackie Robinson ** 07:08 It means the way that I've described that, especially with the pandemic, international psychology comes in and studies individual and collective essentially studies global phenomena to say, how does this impact us from an individual level and then a collectivist or societal level? And then how do we make sense of it and support people through it, whether it's an actual culture, it could be a war torn population, it could be a global pandemic, it could be a pandemic, that only one country might be, you know, observing at that point in time, but it could also be within the organization organizations are kind of a person and itself, if we look at it as a living, breathing, being, with the people that are incited and engagement and their performance and their well being. And so it's just really allowed me to kind of take off to say, Okay, how do I want to support cultures overall. And so I worked with the refugee population as part of my doctoral work, and then also just within organizations. So that's what kind of got me into management, consulting and working with a global management firm and supporting organizations that want to see their their people thrive, versus survive. Michael Hingson ** 08:31 Yeah, which is an interesting distinction, and important ones is, we all we all talk about surviving, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're thriving very well, does it? Jackie Robinson ** 08:42 No. And so many people are hurting, especially after the pandemic. So it's, that's there's a lot of fulfillment and seeing people really identify with their purposes, or find a new purpose, and then just you see them open up in blossom. Michael Hingson ** 09:00 Well, you You did mention that you've worked with the refugee population. I think I read that you worked with Syrian refugees during your, your PhD studies. Tell me more about that, if you would, that sounds like it would be very fascinating in a lot of ways. Jackie Robinson ** 09:15 It was extremely fascinating. I worked with them. Well, when I was doing my dissertation, the Syrian Civil War was still pretty early on. And so I received a lot of nose for my dissertation board at that time of how it was going to access the culture. Because it was pretty difficult, there was not really going to be an opportunity to go into Syria, that it was Where are a lot of Syrian refugees. And then what might be an organization that I can partner with to help me find them identify those refugee centers and hold interviews. So initially, I was looking at Switzerland but I was able to find some really great support with Syrian refugee center and nonprofit in Berlin, Germany. So I did my research in Berlin. And I want to say it was 2014. When I had started conducting my research, it was 2012. So it was really early about a year or so into the Syrian civil war, but absolutely fascinating. And I, I've loved every minute of connecting with them and working with them. Michael Hingson ** 10:26 Now, why Syria and Syrian refugee specifically. So Jackie Robinson ** 10:30 this is where you'll see the criminology tie in, because initially, my refugee work was. So at UC Irvine, I, in my criminology law in society thesis, I was focusing on the learned behaviors of terrorism. So flash forward to my PhD program, I wanted to focus on interviewing more of the types of criminals involved, I wanted to have more of my studies based on terrorism, and the Syrian civil war. And I had someone, one of my professors say, I don't know how you're going to get access to Guantanamo, or any of these facilities where you might, you know, be able to interview them. But I had been reading books at the time, and it had been done. So you know, unstoppable mindset, I'm like, Hey, we've got this, there's there's always a way in. But he said, Why don't you switch gears and start to think about those that are impacted by terrorism. Instead, the populations impacted. And that's when the Syrian refugee population was, you know, really big. And we were seeing it in the news all the time. And so I started to switch gears into that. So Michael Hingson ** 11:45 did you ever get a chance to actually interview criminals? Or people who were on that side of terrorism? Or did you mainly just deal then with the other side? Jackie Robinson ** 11:54 Yep, I just dealt with the other side, refugees. And I was already at UC Irvine, they had a really wonderful program where you could work with refugees that had that were living within the Southern California area. So working with kids on art therapy, supporting families with mentorship, helping them learn English, helping them with just their day to day, I was already involved with Syrians through a UCI program. And so it just made a lot of sense with everything that was also happening in the war, to use that as a population, because I really just started to feel a connection to that to that group. Michael Hingson ** 12:35 So what kinds of things did you learn from interviewing them and talking with them? Because you're looking at you, certainly, you're looking at terrorism from from one side of it, and I appreciate that, but what did you learn? Or what kind of conclusions did you draw? Jackie Robinson ** 12:49 From the refugee side, I mean, really, speaking of unstoppable mindset, what tended to support their resilience was family connection, family is so strong, and so having cell phones, which many of them were able to have in Berlin, to be able to connect with their families back in Syria, was a way to manage anxiety, or manage depression or feeling disconnected. In the, in the refugee centers where they would stay, you'd have a range of different refugees, it might not just be all Syrians, you might have Palestinians, you might have other folks in there as well. And so they would start to create their own, you know, specific communities within a refugee facilities so that they could feel more connected with one another. They could lend support, they could share bicycles. And so that was really big was seeing how much the family connection means. There's also just a lot of resiliency and gratitude that they had four countries that would take them in. So they one thing that came up very strong was this idea of wanting to give back to the community that welcomed them in the wanting to try to learn German in this case as fast as they could, so that they could acquire a job, once they, you know, were allowed, so that they could give back, those that were already in college would have a difficult time because they were, you know, studying Arabic, they were fluent in Arabic, but now you're going to a German university, and you've got to be at the collegiate level of knowing the German language. So if they were studying to be a vet, or a physician, or, you know, a psychologist, they would be backtracked quite a bit, but there was still that level of gratitude and hunger to want to learn the language and give back as soon as they could. So it was really heartfelt, it was very heartwarming, actually, to see the level of resilience that they had. Michael Hingson ** 14:53 And I'm sure you found people who were all over the spectrum or in different parts of the spectrum from you very tenacious, unable to move forward to some who maybe weren't quite so successful at it. Jackie Robinson ** 15:06 And most of that was just based on the admin process of the paperwork and the filing that has to take place all the checks and balances once you become a refugee within Germany. But you know, what, what status you're in, if you're asylum, if you were able to be, you know, kind of fully enveloped into the community where now you could hold a job and so many felt like they were in that sense of purgatory. You're kind of half in half out because you're safe. But you're, you're not allowed yet to get that, that job. So they might be trying to pick up language skills or something along the way, but, you know, they're just waiting on that letter to say, Okay, you're approved. You've got full status here. Michael Hingson ** 15:49 Yeah, it's always tough to be in limbo, not know what's going on. Well, so you did that. You got your PhD in you said, I think 2014 2017 2017 Okay. So it was another three years after? Yeah. Okay. Jackie Robinson ** 16:05 That's about four years, three, three and a half years. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 16:08 Now, it's seven years later. So what did you do after you got your PhD? Jackie Robinson ** 16:15 I joined a well, a brown that same time I was, I was double degree. So I received my, my degree from UC Irvine at that time, my, my master's degree before that I had gotten a Master's at Pepperdine in psychology. And so once I was done with UC Irvine, and I was just starting to wrap up the Ph. D. program, I joined a global management firm that has this high focus on positive psychology. So I work with Gallup. And I love that I just embrace this idea that we're a part of a community. And that they they focus so much on positive psychology now taking a strengths based approach, focusing on engagement, focusing on the well being of others. And so I just joined, I would say, my, I think it was my third year, my second or third year in my PhD program, and I've been here since Michael Hingson ** 17:17 well, yeah, I would say I kid of Jackie Robinson ** 17:21 coaching, facilitating, working with a range of different industries. Yeah, so that's, that's where I'm at. I feel like I always have my hands on something right. Now, whenever I can do some virtual webinars and do some performance coaching with those, now those that are released from the prison system, and are in those post incarceration, mentor programs, that's a lot of where I spend my time now. When I was still living in California, I would also go to the prison systems there. Unfortunately, they're not in the Nevada area yet. So I do I do that work virtual. So that's one of the things that occupy my time. Michael Hingson ** 18:02 So what did you do? In the in the prison system? You obviously worked there and felt it was worthwhile? What did you do there? Yeah, Jackie Robinson ** 18:11 well, it was more volunteer, but we'll go in for about 12 hours. Maybe it's nine. It's kind of that it's like an eight to 8am to 6pm type of day, somewhere around there. And, you know, we we go in, we drop off our cell phones, we leave everything and we spend the day working with the incarcerated or going through an entrepreneurship program through to five Ventures is the the program that I'm a part of. And they've partnered with Baylor University. So Baylor provides entrepreneur certificates. It's an application process. So the incarcerated, but we call entrepreneurs and training, apply to be a part of the program. So these are folks that are really wanting to change their life around and get that that mentorship. For some, this is the first, you know, certificate they've ever received. So they're graduating. Once they get out of the program, they truly get the cap and gown, and we're all there to celebrate with pizza and brownies, and their family comes and it's a big deal. But it's the way I describe it is it's the shark tank for prisons. So this program is one where they go through business courses. And within that duration, they're also starting to curate a business idea that they could do can't be a storefront since that would require too much capital. So it's just thinking of a business idea that they could run on their own with minimal funding that they feel experienced in and then they have, you know, business leaders, business coaches, others that are you know, just across industry, we volunteer and go in and help them tweak those ideas and help them think through those ideas and Then there's a vote at the end. And there's monetary rewards for first, second and third place winners. So their business? Michael Hingson ** 20:13 Did you ever follow up or follow through with any of them when they came out of the prison system that ended up starting a business and were successful? Or do you know? Jackie Robinson ** 20:24 Yes, yes, they have cohorts that go through. And so I was with one, one cohort for quite a bit pre pre pandemic, I would visit them in there a couple of times, and then I was there for their graduation. And they're always like, Oh, you came back, thank you. And then after they can go into that post monitor, mentorship program, so they've got their idea, once they are released from the prison system, that's when they can really implement that idea. And they've got us on the back end as well to support with that mentorship. And they're able to do PowerPoint presentations, virtually, to share out what their business is to share links to their website to their product, and then we can support them. And either say, hey, we want to bring you one, we'd love to have you in partnership for, you know, X company, or if we know they would be great for company, we can bring them on and suggest them, we can buy their products. And so we really are there to support and the recidivism rates, in terms of just their return back to prism is incredibly low. I want to say it was that 94 95% With this program, the state the state out, yeah, that stay out. They've got the skills, they just were always, you know, maybe they weren't given the rights. You know, the, they have the skills, but what's a great way of putting it, they didn't have the right role models. Yeah, is the word I was looking for, to help them curate and cultivate those skills in a way that could be meaningful and legal. They just, you know, had to scrap by oftentimes based on their backgrounds. Yeah. So yeah, now they've got the positive mentorship to say, hey, let's take that and use your marketing use your your, you know, ways with money in a way that's very legal and strategic, Michael Hingson ** 22:19 and self confidence. Yes. Yeah. Because Jackie Robinson ** 22:23 some of them, you know, have have weren't praised. They don't know what they're great at. They weren't told they were great, based on how they were raised. And so having people that come in and support them and have confidence in them is huge. And for those that are there for life, it just, it warms my heart, because those that might have received life in prison, they'll go through the course, but they're there, you know, forever through all of these cohorts as the lifelong, you know, Yoda Yeah, they still they found purpose within the prison, which I love Michael Hingson ** 22:58 to help teach and reinforce. Absolutely. So you did that. And now do you work for a company now? Or are you running running your own business Jackie Robinson ** 23:09 i still volunteer with defy so I just do it more virtual now that I'm based in Vegas and don't have the the easier access to drive to the prisons. They'll do the in prison programs. And then they have the post release programs. So used to be a part of both now I do more post release work with Gallup. And then I'm on an advisory board, where I support minority Collegiate Scholars as we think about a talent pipeline and how we continue to funnel them through. So yeah, I would say there's a lot of just different things that if Michael Hingson ** 23:50 you're running your own business in Jackie Robinson ** 23:51 business, yep. And that's part of the advisory that I do with the with that talent pipeline. That's, yeah, it's fun. I, I, before Gallup, and before my PhD program, I started my company, because I was doing a lot of on air consulting, in the field of criminology and psychology, back when chi for and in spite TV weren't network and they were looking for someone that was that was, you know, not a Dr. Phil. Someone that was of the millennial generation growing up, but had the wherewithal to just explain some of the stories that they would air on TV. So I worked a lot with story producers, whenever they were doing a crime story or something related to mental health, and I'd bring in that science piece. So that's where I said, you know, I think there's something more here and that's where my company derived from was being able to speak on criminology and psychology within the entertainment industry. Michael Hingson ** 25:00 There's a fair amount of that that goes on to. There's a lot. Yeah. Jackie Robinson ** 25:05 And it was a perfect marriage because there was always a very dramatic kid. I liked putting on plays there. You didn't? Yeah, I thought acting is it for me, but I love entertainment. I love how you can tell stories and see a script come to life. I worked in international film sales and production for quite a bit crime thrillers, Psych, Psych thrillers. And so, you know, having that opportunity to work with story producers and be an honor expert was just kind of a great marriage of the social sciences and media. What's Michael Hingson ** 25:38 the most rewarding factor? Would you say of your work in terms of with engaging with your audience and so on? Jackie Robinson ** 25:47 Hmm, seeing seeing their potential, just flourish. I love when people either come to me, whether it's an organization or an individual, and they're saying, you know, this is, this is the problem we see, this is where you might need some support. And you see them go from maybe struggling or just surviving, as I had mentioned earlier, to thriving, because you help them start to break down. What is it that gives you purpose? You know, how do we make that a priority? How do we eliminate or delegate, or even automate those things that are more draining to you, or feel like drudgery you start to see their anxiety or their depression start to decrease when they they start to just ground themselves and who they are and their value system and things that give them a lot of joy and energy. And then when that's happening at the organizational level, it's just larger, you know, it's that larger impact that you see across the board. So I think that's what thrills me because it's, it's the outcome that individuals or an organization gets out of doing the work, which is feeling like they can thrive. And I'm such a champion for wellbeing, I think it's so important that people focus on, you know, what it is that gives them energy, and we know how closely that ties to your mental health, your spiritual health, to your physical health, to everything. Michael Hingson ** 27:22 How did you come to really be so interested in well being and kind of formulate the position, you just stated with that? Jackie Robinson ** 27:33 I think I almost came across that by accident, because I was so interested in the criminal mind, I was so interested in just psychology, at Pepperdine. My, my master's is in really that general clinical psychology. So it's been my foundation. But in performance coaching, once I got into management consulting, I started to see something different in the way that you could, you know, connect with individuals and see that spark in them come back to life, or taking something they're already great at, and then just, you know, driving them more towards excellence, and seeing the, the excitement and energy or, you know, happiness in their voice was, was a pleasure. So I think I stumbled on it by accident, because I never saw myself becoming a coach, and executive coach or performance coach. But it's, it's very fun. Michael Hingson ** 28:32 Well, there you go. And you seem like you're, you're well put together, you're well grounded in all of it. But you must have had some, I would assume challenging experiences in your life. And what what kind of experiences have you had and what did you perhaps learn from them? Like, what kind of valuable life lessons have you learned from your own challenges? Yeah, Jackie Robinson ** 28:54 I probably started to reflect a lot more in psychology, because you have to go to counseling when you're in a psychology program. Just as every coach needs a coach, every counselor psychologist needs a counselor psychologists, you start to do a lot of unpacking men. Um, and I suffered from panic disorder starting in high school where I would just have panic attacks, and they would come out of nowhere and you catastrophize and think, you know, the sky is falling. So I've always had anxiety and been more of an anxious person, and medication wasn't the way to go to be on daily medication. I'm, you know, I'm a fan of it, when it needs to be daily for people but for panic disorders, that just wasn't the case. It was more overmedicating for me. So it was looking for other avenues. You know, what can I do to you know, start to decrease anxiety and increase well being? Working out was a way to do that connecting with nature and just going on hikes or walking my dog in the park, allow me to do that. I'm sitting down, when you have panic attacks, whenever you sit and you feel the ground, you ground yourself because it takes your brain away from catastrophizing and you start to focus on Oh, the ground is cold, or the ground is a rug. So you focus a lot on touch, or, you know, worry stones that people might might carry around. So there was a lot of different ways to support well being. So I started thinking about it, that didn't have to do with medication, in my case, and so that was always a big challenge that, you know, I had from high school all the way up through, I mean, even now, but I rarely have panic attacks. At this point, I can count, count them on one hand, how many I have a year because of the other systems that I put in place. I think what triggered it from the workplace standpoint where I focus so much on well being to support challenging situations, was with the pandemic, because that everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at us from 2019 to 2022, I think. And you could just tell the entire world was hurting. And to be able to reach people individually through coaching was just wonderful. And then I had my own personal experience that I'd had to reflect on of how I've come through challenging times. And how well, a focus on well being helped me through it, and specifically, you know, the multitude of ways that you can support well being. That was what really, I think helped me go, oh, there's, this is where I want to spend a lot of my time in the workplace is focused on, you know, a strengths based approach to supporting people and well being. Michael Hingson ** 31:53 So what kind of tricks? What kind of life lesson did you learn from having the panic attacks? And just dealing with all that? You came out of it? What did you gain from it? Yeah. Jackie Robinson ** 32:06 More confidence and being able to manage through it, you know, to be able to take the take, take the reins, so to speak, because when you're feeling anxiety, you don't feel like anything is going to work out. But for me, knowing that I could have some automatic systems in place. If I have a panic attack, it's really easy to say, when did I last workout? have I eaten regularly throughout the day? Or have I, you know, basically starved? Do I have more on my plate than necessary? Are the things on my plate, something that would allow me to thrive? Or are these things that drain me of my energy? Have I gotten think time because I'm someone that likes to just disconnect? And so there's kind of that list I can run through as a checks and balances to say yes, yes, no, no up, here's where the problem is. So I learned how to better manage it, which gave me more obviously, self awareness, but even self confidence tackle challenges as they come along. Michael Hingson ** 33:07 You can always get a puppy dog to help you Jackie Robinson ** 33:09 and a dog and I have a dog who was registered as an emotional support animal. I'm really bummed that airplanes stopped supporting that because people were bringing birds and pigs and pigeons and whatever else. But um, yeah, he's a great help pets are so wonderful. What is he? He is a chihuahua terrier mix? Ah, yeah. He's well Michael Hingson ** 33:35 beyond the problem with the whole airplane thing is, of course that, you know, with Americans with Disabilities Act, the rule is that the the animal has to be trained, and technically emotional support. animals aren't trained. But But the issue is really what you just said, which is, people would just bring anything on. And so many people would bring their dogs on, on airplanes and say, their emotional support for me. Yes. And, and they just misbehaved and just did all sorts of things, and nobody would deal with it. Jackie Robinson ** 34:06 Yes, yes. It's, it goes back to the, you know, the, the old saying, right, where it just takes one person Yeah, to take advantage of the system, and then nobody gets it anymore. And you go, Ah, so Well, Michael Hingson ** 34:20 it really made it really, it also made it tougher for us with train service animals. Because she Yeah, now the airlines make us jump through all sorts of hoops just to take our dogs on on airplanes. And I think it's something that the airlines promoted a lot. But rather than recognizing there are a whole lot better ways to deal with it. They've made it very convoluted and complex. You know, and from my perspective, it doesn't matter whether it's a service animal or an emotional support animal, if it's well behaved, who's going to notice the problem is so Then he went on who worked there were not. And even I have seen, although not on an airplane, but I've seen legitimately trained service animals that have misbehaved. And the bottom line is that you can't just take your guide dog in somewhere if your guide dog misbehaves. So you noticed the same sort of thing, but it is it is tougher and so many people now go off and they buy these bests and so on online and Oh, my dogs and emotional support animal. Yeah, well, that doesn't mean anything anymore. And you brought it on yourself. Yes. Jackie Robinson ** 35:32 And so pay your $150 each way to take Michael Hingson ** 35:38 it as a pet and yeah, 35:40 I Yeah. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 35:43 I have. I've had a couple of I've had a couple of my guide dogs growled at by other dogs on airplanes. And fortunately, my dogs just kind of go give me a break and lay down and put their head down. But still, it's there. And it happens, which is unfortunate. Jackie Robinson ** 36:00 It is. I love dogs, Michael Hingson ** 36:03 but we haven't had we haven't had to deal with a peacock on an aeroplane yet. Jackie Robinson ** 36:09 No, although I'm not seeing the German shepherds that just have their own seat. I just seen a dog head. It's the most. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 36:17 Yeah. Give me a break. No, I met. I met a person once who was very proud of the fact that they got certified in Colorado, the first ready, therapy rat. I'm sitting. Oh, how does that work? Jackie Robinson ** 36:35 Yeah, yes. Yeah. And then you had those people actually speaking of planes that would bring their hamsters and then you can't have a flush them down the toilet? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, people, people Michael Hingson ** 36:52 want to see that, that means you're always going to have a job. And so you finally discovered, though, that the sky wasn't really falling? Or maybe it was, but you could cope with it? Hmm. I could Jackie Robinson ** 37:04 cope, you know, let the sky Gosh, a most recent example. So you can't make this up. And this is I have such a positive mindset typically. And so that that's what else helped with I think, thinking of grounding techniques to support well being to reduce panic attacks, was it really allowed my just innate way of wanting to think positive come through, doesn't mean that I don't focus on problems, because I know sometimes that can be the barrier label of those that are just more positive minded. That toxic positivity, we've heard that term a lot, right, where, you know, you don't allow people their lived experience, but I'm very big on allow people to have their lived experience giving their time for emotions. But I love positive thinking, because it allows us to come up with solutions or to get through tough times. So the most recent challenge I experienced was, the day after Christmas, I ended up having a ruptured cyst, and bled out internal bleeding. If anyone's ever experienced it, you know how terribly painful it is, it's, I hope I don't ever experienced that again. And it was a full moon this December 26. So I was at the ER on a full moon, the day after Christmas, when everybody's there because nobody went, I don't think um, Christmas. And so first Urgent Care was on their waiting list for five hours in pain the whole time. But thankfully, you can put yourself on a list and then you go to the clinic, they said, we can't, we can't take you we're gonna fast track you to er, because this might be a kidney stone or an appendicitis thing. Okay, I'm in ER for a while. So fast forward 13 hours later, I get morphine. And it took two hours for it to kick in, because my pain at that point was just they had tried other medications props to the to the hospital, but you know, nothing, nothing was working at that point. So I came out of it. And I just thought, Well, I'm so glad that I get to at least not have surgery because I wasn't bleeding enough for surgery. And then I was thankful that 15 hours later the pain had finally stopped and I could go home and you know, sleep sitting up. And that's that positive piece. The positive thinking of how do we take a challenge when you know that you've had anxiety and you can go into panic attacks and manage it in a way that is effective. So I was in dire pain for a long time but at the end of the day I can kind of you know joke about it now. Michael Hingson ** 39:54 So does it kind of just heal on itself. Jackie Robinson ** 39:56 It will heal on its own. Yeah. So now it's just You know, asking those questions, what is my body need? Yeah, um, so if I need rest or a nap and I'll take it, I do walks on the treadmill, it might be 1.7 miles per hour, you know, not still more miles per hour, but it's walking. It's day by day progress. And so I think it's that anytime we have a challenge, how do we break it down and see the positive in it, so that we can get through it. But then, just, you know, when you break it down, step by step, it's much easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Michael Hingson ** 40:31 I've always been a very large water drinker, but nevertheless, I feel your pain in a sense, because I did have a kidney stone once. And it is no fun is Jackie Robinson ** 40:42 your heart. Yeah, Michael Hingson ** 40:45 it is no fun. And it took several hours for it to pass in the hospital. But it did. It did. And it's just kind of one of those things that occurs. Jackie Robinson ** 40:57 Yeah. Oh, yeah, I do not. I do not envy those with appendicitis or kidney stones after feeling that pain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Haven't Michael Hingson ** 41:10 had to worry about appendicitis, but did have a kidney stone and, and then they said, You need to drink more water. And I said, Look, I'm drinking like 80 ounces a day. But I upped it, but I upped it to 100. That's okay. No, not a problem. But you know, it's just one of those things. And it goes on. Well, so free. So for you. You, you are evolving like all of us. Share if you would maybe kind of a personal challenge or goal that you're working on now in the world. Yeah. Well, it must have one up. Jackie Robinson ** 41:47 Yeah, it's one in the same. I think now it really is a challenge because I wasn't expecting to get a ruptured cyst. Well, yeah, holidays. But um, I want to I want to run my 10th official half marathon into February. In Vegas. I did their marathon a while back. And yeah, I've just I thought, you know, nine, half marathons. Officially, I'll use the air quotes, quote, unquote, is good, but 10 is just now that feels more like I don't remember. Yeah, yes. So that is end of February. Right now I'm still walking because I can't do much more. I'm just kind of going with where my my body wants to go. But that is actually a fun goal and challenge. It's going to be even more of a fun goal and challenge now because it's, you know, time that the clock is ticking. Michael Hingson ** 42:44 The cyst heal in time, do you think? I Jackie Robinson ** 42:46 hope so they said, it takes a few weeks for it to break down and kind of your, your blood to reabsorb in your body. But it's all just kind of based on the individual to in terms of how soon you can get back to exercise and your day to day. So it starts with a walk. But that's my next challenge. Take on SO. Water, I'll be there. Michael Hingson ** 43:10 Well, if it isn't in February, when's the next one after February? Jackie Robinson ** 43:13 It'd be next year. Another I just sign up for another race. Right? I just find one. Yeah, this would be a fun one. Yeah. Well, there you go. It's a good end goal to have in mind for health and recovery. And Michael Hingson ** 43:27 you'll be able to do it. And then if it isn't in February, it'll come soon enough. Jackie Robinson ** 43:31 With both of our positive mindsets. I think we're putting the energy and this energy out there. Yeah, this is gonna happen. But listen Michael Hingson ** 43:38 to your body. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Jackie Robinson ** 43:41 Well, I could always walk. Right? The Walk jog. Yeah. Yeah. But though that's next for me. Well, there you go. physical wellbeing challenge slash goal is is the immediate next thing around the corner for me. Michael Hingson ** 43:59 So what do you do in general? I think you've talked about this some but if you want to go into more detail about a deal, what do you do? Or how do you handle stress and adversity, Jackie Robinson ** 44:08 positive thinking and well being tips and tricks, so it's, and I know it might be harder for some to think more positive by nature, some of us might be more problems focused, and that's okay. And some might be more solutions. Michael Hingson ** 44:25 So criminal tendency again, yeah. Jackie Robinson ** 44:28 Either one is okay, pick. The coming up with that positive lens on life is just easy for me. But for those that even think from a problems perspective, it can be helpful just to say, well, what's the worst that can happen and how to handle it? And then, so that helps me get through challenges and adversity is just glass half full, because I can come up with solutions so much quicker. And I love having a plan A, a plan B and A Plan C. So it makes me feel like no matter what's thrown my way. I'm gonna have a way to over Come in. But sometimes we're just, you know, punched in the face lots of times by life. The one thing that is a constant is the change life throws at us. So if there is just a lot of just challenges that are just coming, you know, left and right, I really, really do focus on grounding, techniques to support well being. So we ensure even more so that I'm getting exercise or that I get to talk to friends or family or I'm reading a book or I'm starting to limit my calendar as much as I can. Do Michael Hingson ** 45:34 you spend time daily are often just reflecting like how things are going and why things went the way they did not viewing it as a failure, but rather as a learning experience to making it better. Down the line, Jackie Robinson ** 45:50 I do my sink time for that is, typically when I'm outside, if I'm walking my dog, or I'm hiking, that's when I love just being able to think through, and it's not daily, that it gets to happen. But if I can get out a couple of times a week just to be outside on a walk, then that's what I'm doing on my treadmill, that's what I'll do. So I am a big champion of walking, or running or being outside and I share with people you know, there's a lot of science behind it. But we can come up with ideas and solutions and think through in our own processes and systems when we're we're walking well. Michael Hingson ** 46:34 And no matter what anyone does or says to you, you're still your own best teacher, and you have to process it, and synthesize it and make it work for yourself. Jackie Robinson ** 46:45 Exactly. Yeah, some and so one of the questions that I'll ask too, and you bring up that point is, what has whenever it comes. Whenever you think about what's supported you in the past when you've overcome adversity, what helps you get through that? Is it journaling? Is it bike riding? What does that look like for you because everyone's going to have their own mechanism. We forget what that can be sometimes when we're stuck in the weeds. So it's nice to have a mirror so to speak, and someone that can help you reflect on that. Michael Hingson ** 47:19 Yeah, and it's, I don't know, for me a matter of the glasses half full, but it's also when something is going on and you don't know, necessarily directly what to do. I think listening to our hearts does tend to help us but also developing a circle of people you can go to to seek advice and not being afraid to do it. Too many people live I couldn't do that i i can't solve it myself. It's a sign of weakness if I let somebody else help, and that's not true. Jackie Robinson ** 47:59 It's yeah, spot on. We thriving communities. The South African concept of Ubuntu, you know, I am because we are, the more we can kind of support on each other have at least one support system in your life. It can be so beneficial. Yeah. We don't need to tackle it alone. Michael Hingson ** 48:18 And shouldn't Yeah, yeah, there's there's always value in a team. That's right. Jackie Robinson ** 48:25 Hey, we used to hunt and kill that way, right? When we were hunters and gatherers. We had a tribe. We like to think it's changed, but we still need that community. Michael Hingson ** 48:38 Well, we do and it's part of our nature or ought to be and too many people think that they don't need to and they just think that they're being more macho and all that. And the reality is it doesn't work that way. Jackie Robinson ** 48:52 Absolutely. Well, Michael Hingson ** 48:53 so tell me more about your coaching business. Do you coach people all over the country, the world virtually? Or what do you do? Jackie Robinson ** 49:01 I do I coach virtually I coach on site, but more or less, it's virtually across the globe, just depending on the time zone. Typically managers, leaders and executives, but I also work with individuals love coaching students. There's something about students because they're, you know, they're just coming out in the world. They're super excited about it. They're just fresh face. They've got so many dreams and ideas and so anytime I'm working with higher education, it's a pleasure. Because we've got all these we've got a new generation that's gonna go out there and shoot great things. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 49:45 And they should be encouraged to it's it's so frustrating. I see so many times, like children being discouraged from being curious. They're being discouraged from dreaming and and Moving forward with all that there's nothing wrong with dreaming. There's nothing wrong with having hopes and learning, and maybe something won't work. And maybe adults recognize that. But it isn't the lesson, it's the discovery that really makes a difference, it seems to me, Jackie Robinson ** 50:18 Oh, that's such a great way of putting it. Yeah, having them lead with curiosity. Well, into that point, we're seeing that the Gen Z generation is the most entrepreneurial, they've kind of seen where the millennials have gone with education. Some of them are still getting their education, some would rather, you know, work full time, and then be part time in school where their education is least partially covered by corporations. And then some are saying, Hey, I just want to be a solopreneur. So I think we're all seeing that with social media and the way that they've become influencers are the way that they've just built companies, and they're making so much money so quick. I love seeing them. It's that curious spirit, they just haven't let go of and, you know, they're, they're gonna do what they want. They're kind of like the rebels or the Renegades of all the generations. And it's fun to see. Michael Hingson ** 51:18 I think that what we will we will see, though, is that you mentioned social media. The problem is that I'm not sure that we always make the best connections on social media, because it is still somewhat separate. And I think that the people who really succeed are the ones who really discovered the value of connection lism. Yes, Jackie Robinson ** 51:38 which goes to all the research that's starting to come out on how loneliness has spiked among individuals, and I think specifically, the 18 to 35 year old generation, really sad. I feel really bad for those that were in college during the pandemic, and they had their first, you know, New Year Experience online, they didn't get to have those connections that so many of us had with people and professors, and now they've got it, but I think they're still trying to acclimate Michael Hingson ** 52:13 Well, or they didn't take full exam, they didn't take full advantage of what they could do online. So rather than making connections through zoom, and actually having face to face contact, and discussions, it was all done through social media, sending messages and so on. And that's just not the same. No, Jackie Robinson ** 52:34 even now, if you put them all in a room, oftentimes, they'll be on their phone. Yeah, not looking at it. Michael Hingson ** 52:42 I've always found that fun. I hear. I hear jokes about kids doing that in the back seats of their cars, when they're riding around with their parents. And I actually asked somebody one day, why do you text to the person next to you in the car? Of course, the response was, Well, we don't want our parents to know what we're talking about. That's a problem, too. Yeah. Anyway, Jackie Robinson ** 53:02 yeah. See, I suppose for some of those that aren't solopreneurs that are actually growing companies, because they grew up at this time where loneliness, and social isolation is significant. And now that's a point of research for a lot of the site, you know, in the psychology world and sociology world. What are organizations going to look like 20 years from now, or 10 years from now, if they're the leaders of these companies, and they're not used to emotional intelligence and connection, it'll Michael Hingson ** 53:33 be interesting to see what they learned today, I Jackie Robinson ** 53:35 guess, that I just brought high. So even those of us with a positive mindset can go but wait, this is going to be it'll be interesting to see. Michael Hingson ** 53:42 Or they're going to or they're going to learn? Yeah, I think there's a lot to be said, for momentum. And the reality is that there are a lot of things that do work. And people who don't succeed are going to hopefully come to the realization well, maybe we need to change some of what we do. And there is value to what used to be that we should be taking advantage of. Jackie Robinson ** 54:07 Like AI, a lot of AI programs out there now teaching emotional intelligence. And Michael Hingson ** 54:13 there's a lot that AI can do. And you people keep talking about all the things that are bad about it, and so on. Yeah, but look at all the good things that come out of it. I mean, for that matter. It was artificial intelligence that did a lot of the initial work very quickly on developing the mRNA vaccines that we use for COVID. Wow. Yeah. They and I saw I heard in one report that using some sort of AI process they did in three days, that would have taken months or years for people to do without it. And that's the value of the tool. Jackie Robinson ** 54:56 Yes, there how many pros and I know there's A lot of cons that that people see. But of course, that's with any situation or sure, you know outcome. Of course, Michael Hingson ** 55:08 we have no problem using the internet today, even though there is still such a thing as the dark web. Jackie Robinson ** 55:16 Yeah, I don't think any of us want to go back to those heavy encyclopedia books that well, there is that to your library. Yeah, we lose the internet. Michael Hingson ** 55:26 I have a I just, I've never visited the dark web don't know how to do it. And it's probably inaccessible. Anyway. So yeah. So I will worry about it. How can people apply the things that we've been talking about today? What would you do to encourage people? And what are some of the first steps they should take? Jackie Robinson ** 55:44 Um, I'd have them think, you know, on a scale of one to five, I love scales, five being, I feel like I'm thriving in life, where do you feel you're sitting? If it's a three or a four, then you might, you know, and hopefully, it's not a one or two, but it very well could be a one or two. But once you identify that state of well, being where you're at right now, you could just curate a list, and really start to keep track of what you're doing day to day. And you could just make a side note next to each of those, you know, daily activities, personal and professional. Do you love it? Do you like it? Do you hate it, and then over really a month, span of time, you'll very quickly be able to see where your time and energy is, or you appreciate it and where it's draining you. And then that's going to start to give you those building blocks to say, Okay, now how do I rearrange my day where I'm doing more of what I love, and less of what I don't love. For some, it really is a mental shift. And people have had aha moments to go, I don't like what I'm doing anymore. Like professionally, I need to switch roles, you might be within the same organization. But maybe this now gives you the the feedback and insights to say this is what I'd like to do more of instead. This is where I'd like to delegate, or maybe kind of disengage if if possible, maybe you are looking for something entirely different because it's no longer, you know, going against your your moral grant or your values. And that can be very, very helpful. It's just an initial starting point. And it's the new year. So it might be a good time to. And Michael Hingson ** 57:30 the other thing you might discover, is really what you're doing you really liked doing and you just don't think you do until you think about it. And it's all about taking that time. Whichever way you go. It's all about taking that time to think about it and reflect. Yes, Jackie Robinson ** 57:45 yes. And what's the percentage of time you want to spend every day on that thing that you love? You might be doing it daily? Maybe it's 10%? How do you increase it to 25%? If that? That would be your sweet spot? Yeah. So yeah, then it allows you to really break it down and get more tactical about what is the the average amount of time I want to spend here? Michael Hingson ** 58:06 And what is it? What is it I don't love? And why is it I don't love it? And maybe maybe it isn't really as bad as you think it is. It's all about taking the time to put things in perspective. Jackie Robinson ** 58:20 Yep. And as you mentioned earlier, everyone's gonna have their own time and space for that. I know, parents, they can get really busy. I've seen parents that get up at four or five in the morning. And they'll get in their workout or their think time, because that allows them to reflect or they get up at the same time because four or five is not their jam wouldn't be mine. But they'll go on a walk at maybe 6am with the kid, if it's a baby, you know, so the baby's in the stroller, and they're walking outside, and we're able to kind of sort through their thoughts before they check their work emails. So it's really just thinking, what is what's going to be best for me when when might be an opportune time. And I do some 15 minutes. Michael Hingson ** 59:03 Yeah, it isn't something that has to take a long, long time. But but you have to take the time to do it. I tend to do it a lot when I'm going to bed. And I actually fall asleep sometimes thinking about it. But it doesn't mean you have to spend hours at it. But but it is important to let your your mind slow down and help your mind slow down because that's going to make you a stronger and a more vibrant individual. Jackie Robinson ** 59:29 Yes, you reminded me of the gratitude journals, where you're just writing three things that you loved for the day or three challenges you experienced and how you're going to overcome it next and that can take five minutes. Yep, the end of the day. It Michael Hingson ** 59:46 doesn't need to take a long time. No, no, but it can be very valuable. Or go pet a dog or a cat. Yes. I have one of each. And the cat demands a lot of petting but it's so hey she's acuity. Well, if her name is stitch, we rescued her, Oh, we were actually going to just take her and find her home because the people who owned her the wife had died and the husband was going into an assisted living facility and decided that he didn't want to take the cat and he just told his caregiver take the cat to the pound. And we learned about it. And my wife said, Absolutely not. But then I, I made the mistake of asking what the cat's name was. And they said the cast name was stitch now what you need to know about my wife. When she was alive, she passed away November of 2022. But she was a professional quilter from 1994 on do you think a quilter is going to let go of a cat named stitch? Jackie Robinson ** 1:00:53 Yeah, ain't Michael Hingson ** 1:00:54 happening. Oh, my Jackie Robinson ** 1:00:55 God. It's a sign that with the sign was oh, it was a silent smile from heaven. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:02 In stitchy, is still here and, and loves to get petted while she eats and loves to interact. So it's great. Jackie Robinson ** 1:01:09 I love that. I love that for you. This year, Michael Hingson ** 1:01:12 it'll be nine years since in genuinely change later in January. It'll be nine years since we got her so she's a great cat. Wow, Jackie Robinson ** 1:01:22 it was meant to be. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:23 Oh, yeah. Well clearly meant to be with a name like stitch. Absolutely. No question about definitely. If people want to reach out that people want to reach out to you. How do they do that? Jackie Robinson ** 1:01:36 Yes, you can find me on the gram on Instagram. I'm at Dr. Jaclynn Robinson. Thank you, J A C L, Y N N. Almost like Jaclynn Smith that Charlie's Angel, except with two ends. Yes, Dr. Jaclynn Robinson. I'm also on I've got a website. So you can also find me at Jaclynn robinson.com which made it very easy. Michael Hingson ** 1:02:09 There you go. Jackie Robinson ** 1:02:10 Why not? Why not just you can hunt me down.

And then I'm also on AIX, which I'm still you know, I'm surprised I didn't say Twitter. I think I've been acclimated to it now being called the EC. But under that when I am at nine muses, like the nine shoot that's ology p r o d, short for nine Muses productions. So find uses P Michael Hingson ** 1:02:49 im uses productions? Jackie Robinson ** 1:02:51 Well, Greg did not take credit for that. But my, my brother came up with my company name, whenever I had started doing work in entertainment, because it's, you know, the muses are such a blend of science, and art and poetry and all of that. So we thought, That's a good name for your social sciences and entertainment background. Michael Hingson ** 1:03:13 That's a great, very clever name. I'm Jackie Robinson ** 1:03:15 not better.

Micah and Nathan are joined by Dr. Sam Storms; a self-proclaimed "Amillennial, Calvinistic, charismatic, credo-baptistic, complementarian, Christian Hedonist who loves his wife of 50 years, his two daughters, his four grandchildren, books, baseball, movies, and all things Oklahoma University." While some of those labels seem contradictory on the surface, Dr. Storms provides helpful context and Biblical support for his beliefs. In this episode, the discussion shifts to focus on Christian Hedonism and what "enjoying God" looks like on a practical basis.

In this episode of The Lean Builder's “Hoots on the Ground” podcast host Adam Hoots introduces The Lean Builder nation to Ms. Heather Ormonde. Heather talks about her beliefs in Lean running so deep that she had two babies in one pregnancy!! Heather has been practicing Lean for over 10 years and has made every LCI Congress since 2014 and has served as the Oklahoma CoP Leader for LCI since 2015 (though she is happy to relinquish that role for those in OK interested in stepping up). She shares updates on some of the trade-focused programs and trainings that they offer. Heather is a staple in the Lean Construction community. You must stay around to the end, where Heather releases some brand new, hot off the press, news! We won't put it in the show notes, so you must stick around and listen to how you can help support Heather. (Check out 54 minutes in to hear to news!) Heather has worn many hats throughout her career in construction. She is a Six Sigma green belt and obtained her master's degree from Oklahoma University. Heather loves to travel and played roller derby for a long time! She says that it's a great way to release stress and frustration from the project site. Heather gets vulnerable as she discusses her grandfather and his life's motto that she learned while playing a game with him towards the end of his life. She also discusses the real-life jobsite conditions that workers are being forced to work in day to day. She likens that to a study called The Milgram Experiment. Heather discusses her own journey of learning about how she was acting on project sites. As a project owner's representative, one of her GCs called her out for ‘not trusting' them. Tune in to see how she handled that and the adjustments she made throughout her career to make her a better builder! She enlightens us on how she found her why – to help and inspire people to achieve positive change – and how she helps others find their why. ABOUT HOOTS ON THE GROUND PODCAST: The Lean Builder's absolutely, positively NO Bullshido podcast. Join Host Adam Hoots and his guests as they dig deep into the topics that are relevant to those of us who “get it”: the men and women with the dirty boots, the ones who work in the field, doing the hands-on business of construction each day. Listen in as we keep it real while stories from the trenches are shared along with lessons learned and some laughter along the way.

With this being the week of the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, Merseyside, England, we thought it would be a good time to talk about weather and golf. When thinking of the two, the first thing to come to mind might be the danger of holding up a golf club during a thunderstorm. But that's oversimplifying things. How does the roll of the putt change when there is an early morning dew covering the greens? How does temperature and humidity impact the game? University of Oklahoma meteorology student and avid golfer Peyton Galyean joins the podcast this week to talk about how weather and golf are connected. She also shares how the Texas hurricanes of her youth impacted her path into weather and the story of how ABC Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee became her mentor. We want to hear from you! Have a question for the meteorologists? Call 609-272-7099 and leave a message. You might hear your question and get an answer on a future episode! You can also email questions or comments to podcasts@lee.net. About the Across the Sky podcast The weekly weather podcast is hosted on a rotation by the Lee Weather team: Matt Holiner of Lee Enterprises' Midwest group in Chicago, Kirsten Lang of the Tulsa World in Oklahoma, Joe Martucci of the Press of Atlantic City, N.J., and Sean Sublette of the Richmond Times-Dispatch in Virginia. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome this week's Across the Sky Podcast. I'm Kirsten Lang here with the Tulsa World, here with my colleagues Sean Sublette and Matt Holiner. Joe Martucci off this week, but he'll be back next week. And our guest this week, a very impressive young lady. Her name's Peyton Galyean. She is a University of Oklahoma student and an avid golfer and has some really interesting stuff to talk to us about when it comes to the two she calls it her two loves. Today, we have a very special guest. Her name is Peyton Galyean, and she is an Oklahoma University of Oklahoma student in her junior year. She's studying meteorology, but then also an avid golfer. And I got to meet her at the AMS Broadcast conference, a couple of weeks ago back in Phoenix. Peyton, you gave an awesome speech when you were there and it was so nice to meet you. And we're just so glad that you're here on our podcast with us today. So welcome. Yes, thank you for having me. Yeah. So tell us a little bit about your background because it's kind of a neat one. You know, just kind of how you got into meteorology and golf and and the two loves how you brought them together. So I'm originally from Houston, Texas, and I grew up on Galveston Bay and 28 Hurricane Ike made landfall in Galveston and I was seven at the time. And I didn't really know what was going on. We don't learn about hurricanes in school, and my grandmother lives on Galveston Bay. The storm surge produced five feet of water in her home. And at the time, my dad was transitioning from being a law enforcement officer to the city emergency management coordinator. So I just started tagging along with him to different work events. And through that I was able to meet so many National Weather Service officials, broadcast meteorologists throughout the Houston area. And I realized I wanted to be a meteorologist. And as I got older, I really fell in love with broadcast. Being able to have that connection with your viewers, especially being through multiple hurricanes Ike Harvey, Rita, just to name a few, you know, what people are going through. And you can really have that connection. Like, I know what it's like to have everything, you know, sit on the side of the curb. It's going to get better, I promise. But at the same time, my dad also introduced me to golf. I was in middle school when I started playing golf. I played seventh grade in eighth grade. And then I got to high school and I made my varsity team and I still don't really know what I was doing, but I started taking it more seriously. And then I started getting scholarship offers. But I always knew I wanted to go to O.U. Is O.U. Has such an incredible meteorology program. And so I was kind of in the in between, like, do I still continue playing golf? That's something I really love. But I've always wanted to be a meteorologist. I decided to go play golf for a junior college in Oklahoma just to kind of help with the financial aspect of it, get some credits out of the way that would transfer. I applied for a semester, Seminole State College, in the fall of 2019 in just realized college golf was not what I thought it would be. So I decided to transfer to O.U. And then a pandemic hit eight weeks later. So right before the pandemic happened, I had joined the club golf team at O.U. Because I didn't want to give it up completely. Even though I had a bad experience. I had to close that door with my previous school and I wanted a new opportunity. And then with the pandemic happening, it just never went anywhere. But soon after, I realized I needed a job to kind of help pay for school as well. So I applied to golf courses at Norman, and I've been working at one and more for about three years now, and I absolutely love it. And that's when I kind of started realizing whether has such an impact on golf that people don't realize, like, yes, it's an outdoor sport. Yes, you have to deal with all the lightning protocols, but when you realize that if there's mourning, do on the ground, your ball's not going to roll as far as tiny water droplets are going to have an impact on your ball, especially when you're putting That's why you need to clean your ball Every so often in the wind is a huge, crucial factor. And I was like, No one's doing this. So on a whim I just decided to start posting up on social media and the golf teams are, Oh, you, the coaches loved it. They reached out to me. They're like, I love how you're doing forecasts for all our tournaments and it's something I started doing for fun, but I've kind of thought about this. It's kind of like my dream job. There is no one that does this for a living. Sure, there's private meteorologists that do this behind the scenes, but how cool would it be to work for the PGA or Lib Tour or the Golf Channel and be able to go to all these tournaments, the browser up and not only explain to them, but the people watching at home how the weather's impacting their scores? Wow. That that's amazing. I had a colleague in in college. He did a couple of summer interns. This is back in the early nineties with the PGA. He did a lot of forecasting for the PGA on tour with them for a while. I learned a lot about golf and weather and obviously those big impacts when kind of obvious admittedly I would not have thought about to do first thing in the morning for the early tee times. But what other things are out there that aren't immediately obvious? Obviously, you want to get out of the way when there's lightning showing up, but outside from wind, lightning, rain, do what other kinds of environmental things are out there in the weather that that play into the game that may not be as obvious. So temperature so when it's actually above 95 degrees, your ball can travel farther. And when it's below either 55 or 45 degrees, your ball won't travel as far just due to the heat transfer between your club base and the ball, which not a lot of people realize when it's super hot outside. I notice my drives are a lot longer, my iron shots are a lot longer and when it's colder, I always thought it was just my body trying to conserve heat and everything and try and be more stiff. But it's actually just the air temperature not allowing the ball to travel as far you say. Is that more of a contact or is that more of the air moving to the the density of the ball, moving through the density air, or is that more of a control like with the club face and the ball? It's a little bit of both because you rely on that contact to give you all the energy to travel farther. And when there's not enough energy being transferred, you don't have as much energy to travel through the air. And then, you know, we've talked about this with baseball, too, I guess, as humidity comes into play as well. If the humidity levels are higher, I'm guessing the ball is probably going to travel higher, just like we talk about home runs going up and there's higher humidity levels in addition to the higher temperatures. I guess humidity plays a factor as well. Yes, Like yesterday when I was at work, I was on the car and there was a kids tournament and I was just noticing how high their shots were traveling. And even when I'm on the range, how high my ball is going, especially being from Houston where it's always humid, my shots are so incredibly high and I try to control it and get it back down. Because when your ball is higher in the air, you don't have as much control of where it's going. Whereas if you keep it kind of level, you have more of that control. And Peyton, what about what about altitude? How does that affect your game? So I went to Colorado last summer and I played golf and I have never hit a ball farther. I don't know if it was just luck or if it was the altitude. I never really looked into it, but I was pleasantly shocked by how far by drives were going, how high I was getting this into the air. So I believe altitude has played a role in it. I haven't really thought about it, especially I grew up under sea level in Oklahoma is relatively flat, but exactly like we know and I feel teens, when they go and play in Mexico City, they go to Denver to get their body immune to it. I think that altitude also does take a toll on your body itself, not just the sport. So what do you want to do after your you graduate? I mean, you doing a lot of weather communications on social media. Do you think you want to continue to go in to weather communications or do you think you might skew more toward the golf forecasting and getting in with with the golf organization? Have you made that decision yet? Are you still kind of keeping it all out there? I don't really know. I'm kind of just putting my feet into everything right now since I still have time out. Do you? I'm minoring in broadcast meteorology. Local news will always be there. I'd love to go back to the coast and talk about hurricanes. I'd love to stay in Oklahoma just with the severe weather here. But if the opportunity did present itself to excuse me, say, do some affiliate work and kind of freelancing with NBC Sports and the Golf Channel in the 2 hours, I would not turn that down. You said that your dad was an emergency manager. Is he still doing that now as well? No, he retired when I graduated high school. Both my parents retired from law enforcement and moved to Oklahoma. My mom's family is from the state, so they decided to come here and live out retirement life. Are you the first in your family to pursue the meteorology track? Yes. My brother is a project manager in the Dallas Fort Worth area, but I'm the weather nut. All right. Well, we will be back right after this break with more with Peyton Galli. And you're listening to Across the Sky. Welcome back. We are here with Peyton Galion and University of Oklahoma student, an avid golfer. Peyton, we're just so glad to have you on today. You know, I wanted to talk with you, too. When we met at the AMS broadcast conference, it was pretty quickly obvious that you and Ginger Zee from ABC have a pretty good relationship. She even had pictures of you in her speech that she was giving, which was pretty cool. So tell us a little bit about how that started and you know, kind of how it's going. So when I was in middle school, when I realized I wanted to do broadcast meteorology, you know, in the Houston area, it's a top ten market. There wasn't a lot of females and yes, there was females every station. Now obviously the presence is a lot better represented. But I was like, there's not really someone I could look up to that looks like me. And I remember coming home from school and the more tornado had just happened and I turn on my TV and the Houston stations were taking ABC coverage from Oklahoma City and I saw gender and I was like, That's who I want to be. She's a meteorologist. She's out in the field. She is reporting on what just happened. And so I just I wanted to be just like her. She was my idol. And then after my freshman year of high school, my family sort of planning a family vacation to New York. And at that time, ginger ale on Dancing with the Stars. And so my mom, on a whim, I didn't even know this. She emailed her. I was like, Hey, my daughter loves you. Basically, she wants you just like you. She wants to go to, Oh, you study meteorology, she wants you on a broadcast. And she responded. She was like, Yes, Dancing with the Stars will be over at that point. I can't wait to meet her. And so it was June 6th of 2016. We went, we are part of the outside audience for GMA, and Ginger came outside and she came up to me and she was like, Are you Peyton? And I was like, shell shocked. I was like, OMG. And I had a sign I made and it said, Hey, Ginger Cocker caged next to Coco, which is Houston. Galveston, right, are to New York. So that showed that I traveled from Houston to New York to be there and she signed it. And I still have it today, however many years later, seven years later. But what I thought would be just like a quick interaction turned into a mentorship the state and contact through it all. Harvey dumped 52 inches of rain in my hometown and threw out everything. She was checking up on me. She's like, How's your family? How are you doing? How are how's your neighborhood? And I was just sending her pictures of everything. And once I got to college, she I had I was like, I just want to do journalism with a minor meteorology. And she was like, You want to do this so on. Just stick with meteorology. It's going to be hard. I know it's hard. I've been through it, but you can do it. And so she's always been in my back pocket, just kind of pushing me and wanting me to succeed. And she is just someone I can talk to all the time. I texted her the other day all my news stuff we do nightly. I send her everything and I get feedback from her in just knowing that she is such an advocate for women in STEM. The next generation of female meteorologists. She is someone I admire so much and I'm so excited and happy. I know her. It is so wonderful to hear. She is tremendous and she has been a wonderful advocate, no question about that. I'm very happy to see somebody with her caliber at ABC. Let's go back a little bit. And you said that, you know, the hurricanes and your youth are really influenced. You do? Let's talk about that a little bit more. Are there two or three, you know, specific events, regardless of which hurricane they were, that kind of are etched in your consciousness, that that kind of led you a little further down this path? I would definitely say like in 2008 and Harvey in 2017, I just because it impacted me so much, my grandmother has a two story house on Galveston Bay and the entire first floor had to be gutted. And I remember there was a table that she had on the first floor and it had little angel statues because my grandfather had passed away the year before and at the table rose up and the five feet of water. And then it went right back down to where it was. And none of the angel statues fell over. And we could see, like on the table, all the debris and like chip marks where water had been. And so that was something that stuck out to me. And you still see it like today, there's these random things that state and whether that it's just mind boggling. But knowing Ike impacted me so much, my school district became one of the refuge school districts for all the Galveston kids to come to. We had to bring in portable buildings for the additional kids, even though my school took on water. And again, with Harvey, I woke up to a boat going down my street. Like, you don't see that on an everyday basis. And just knowing I was out of school for so long, my school was damaged once again. Every school in the school district was damaged. So many of my friends and principals and even our superintendent, their house flooded and there was there was so much you could do, but not enough at the same time. And everyone was just really nice to one another. Like it didn't matter where you came from, who you are, what you do, Everyone is just with one another and it sucks that it was a time of crisis, but seeing the aftereffects and going through that not one but multiple times just kind of makes hurricanes my favorite because everyone can talk about what they're like. But once you go through them and you're impacted by them, it's a different sort of feeling. Yeah, you know, it's probably the one good thing about these hurricanes is the way people do come together after the event passes. You know, everybody, you know, it seems like there's so much division especially you get on social media and all the arguments and bickering, but it seems to suddenly go away when they're saying that everybody can unite and focus on and recover from. Yeah, that is, you know, the silver linings. And people do seem to know out a little bit and are a little bit friendlier to each other. Bring it back to golf. I let's talk a little bit about, you know safety on the golf course. You know, of course when we're talking about thunderstorms but also we were talking about how good it is. You know, when it's hot and humid, your ball will travel farther. But think about golf. And I think the especially for people who don't play regularly, I mean, if you're playing a full 18 holes, you are out in the heat and humidity for quite a while. So let's let's talk a little bit about safety on the golf course, what you're going to be doing. So obviously lightning kind of the rule of thumb is 8 to 10 miles within the last lightning strike. Have the 30 minute really because lightning strike outside of any thunderstorm and you don't want to be walking around with 14 metal sticks in Iraq, Let's just say, jeez, number one priority. But definitely the heat. I mean, yesterday, Oklahoma was in an excessive heat warning and I was on the car selling drinks yesterday. And I was out there for hours and it was boring. Well, I had one of those towels around my neck to keep me cool, keep my neck cool. And I always wore those when I played. I'd have multiple and I'd switch them out after every few holes. And yesterday there was a tournament going on and so many kids were just dropping. They could not keep up because walking 18 holes is hard. The stamina of your body has to have if you're carrying a £50 bag or yours in pushcart, you're a sheet of £50 bag. It's so much more toll on your body and especially in the dry heat, you don't really realize you're adding as much, which means you can get dehydrated a lot faster. And walking 18 holes, that's about 4 to 5 hours of play. And if the pace of play is slower, that's an additional hour, making it six. And when you're outside for that long, it's crazy. I I'm not built up to as much as I used to, but when I was in high school, I was playing like ten tournaments a summer and it was no big deal to me at that point because I had paced myself so much. I had been drinking so much water. It was usual for me, but so many tournaments. I would go to girls and boys would drop out just because their body couldn't handle it. And it's not that we're pushing our bodies so much in this heat. It's just we are preparing enough because, yes, especially right now that massive heat wave going on from Oklahoma City down to Dallas, Houston, Arizona, it's crazy. Arizona's anything over close to 120 degrees. Now, El Paso's recording so many days above 100 degrees, it's just insane. And people don't think about the heat factor because they're like, oh, even though I'm driving a cart, it's fine. I was on a car yesterday for 6 hours and I was still sweating tremendously. I was downing water just to keep myself there and present, because then you deal with the mental side of golf, which is a whole nother spiraling event we can talk about. But when you are having the ongoing effects of heat illness, your mind starts to function differently and then you can lead down that low and that will start affecting your game. And I think the other thing that people forget about, you know, is when you're out on a golf course, there's usually not a lot of shade. There might be trees on the side, but where you are not going to get much shade. So, yeah, I the when it comes to heat, especially what we're dealing with this summer, I mean, I think you really can't underestimate it. The amount of time that you are in the sun to the elements and you know it it it's definitely something that we we try and studies, you know, like the you know, when you start feeling the impacts, you know, you really got to, you know, hopefully you do have a car that would help rather than walking the void holes. But you know, it just comes back to the general heat safety. If you can plan on, you know, playing in the early morning or the evening hours, that's going to be the way to go to avoid the hottest part of day when the sun is highest in the sky and yet keeping the water, the Gatorade handy and carry it with you and bring more than you think you're going to need. I think that's the best advice. And thanks so much for joining us. We really enjoyed having you online. And, you know, it was really awesome to hear a little bit too about weather and how it pertains to golf, because I think we all kind of learn something from that. So thanks so much for being here with us this week. We appreciate it. Yes. Thank you so much. All right. And if anyone wants to follow you or get any golf updates, do you still do that on your social media? Yes, all my social media is my TikTok, my Instagram, my Twitter, my Facebook. It's w X, which stands for weather with Peyton. Perfect. All right. Well, thanks so much, Tatum. Thank you. All right. Welcome back, guys. She was a real sweet girl, wasn't she? And she has got a very impressive, I think, future ahead of her with, you know, combining some of the two things that she loves and and just very smart. She seems very forward thinking as well. I mean, she's she's doing a lot of weather communications, science communications, golf communications, showing how these things merge on her social media accounts. You know, she's already made very good contacts with Ginger Zee, who's doing fabulous work at ABC, very bright future for her, no question. I think when I see the younger professionals like this, it makes me feel good that science communications, whether communicate actions, impacts those kinds of things. We're in good hands going forward. Yeah, absolutely. And I won't hold that against her too much that she's going to the University of Oklahoma. I went to the University of Texas at Austin and I met your love for you. So I was going to bite my tongue a little bit when she's talking about the IOU stuff, but they do have a good meteorology program. I'll acknowledge that it is a good school to go to for meteorology and I like that. You know, she's into golf. I do. I wish I could play golf more often, if you like. Always So busy now, but I'm in Chicago the long winter. Well, it's the brain for playing golf a little bit, but I do love playing golf. You know, when the weather is nice, it is fantastic. You know, just go out there and play a round of golf. But keep in mind, weather, safety, you know, when you hear that rumble of thunder, don't risk it. Don't try. They all just finish this hole. Now, it's not worth it because if you can hear thunder, you can get struck by lightning. So just go ahead. Go ahead to the clubhouse, grab yourself a drink, wait it out, and then wait 30 minutes after the last rumble thunder and then you can resume the game. And of course, remember, they need safety as well. So it was it was a great chat with her. And even though she's a shooter, it helped. But well, you know, as a Penn State or we also kind of have a love hate relationship with Oklahoma because we we understand that there are certain things they can do in Oklahoma that we can't do at Penn State. And we acknowledge that. But, you know, it's still Oklahoma. So sometimes I'm kind of with you. I have a lot of friends here, went to O.U. So it's all good. And I've been in the National Weather Center. It's gorgeous. I mean, it is gorgeous straight up. It's a wonderful facility and it's a wonderful program. The pain you say that. It's a little painful. It's a little painful. But you know what? If I'm going to go study tornadoes, man, that that's that's where you go. It just is. You know, I should have asked her to why she was so close to Bryan College Station growing up in Galveston right there. Texas A&M. Mm. Yeah. But she but she chose O.U. But I'm sure, you know, program wise, I mean, I don't you know, I'm sure that had something to do with it, but yeah, no, I going back to the light and safety to the thing that was kind of funny that she she's right is that, you know, you're walking around with much metal sticks in your in your hand. So, you know, probably don't want to be out there but but it was great to have her on and and coming up next week. After weather and golf, of course, we've got hurricane preparedness for homeowners. The oceans have also been crazy hot. We've heard a lot about that. I've got Zeke has father are from from multiple different agencies. He's climate scientist who does a lot of good work And looking at at the impacts of climate change in the oceans. Gardener Chase will be joining us in a few weeks. Ocean coastal safety. We got football and he coming up. Doug Collins is going to join us from the Korey Stringer Institute to talk about that. So there's lots lots of good stuff coming up in the next few weeks. That was good. And Joe will be back next week. I'm out on vacation next week, headed to Colorado with my my husband and my little kids. So I won't be here, but Joe will be back. So should be fun. All right. Well, thanks again for joining us this week on Across the Sky podcast. And we will catch you next time around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Robert Keating reminds us that life is long and retirement is an opportunity to become a whole new version of yourself. Robert was the long term CEO, now chairman of Topographic Inc. His company specialized in aero photography surveying oil and gas land. After running his company, Robert leaned into his creative side and became an author of his first book titled "Poteet Victory." His recent published work explores the tremendously colorful life of Poteet Victory, an American Indian who is now one of the most collected artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Keating spent an entire year studying Poteet to tell his story -- you can learn about the making of this book and the artist who is known for the highly controversial mural "Trail of Tears" on the campus of Oklahoma University. It still stands unfinished due to disagreements and discomfort about the depiction of Native American violence. The mural depicts the abuse of Native Americans during forced migration to Oklahoma.

I don't think it takes a political scientist to tell us that politics is really all about psychology, but this week we thought we'd ask anyways. Dr. Allyson Shortle is a professor of political science at Oklahoma University whose research field included political psychology! We discuss a wide range of issues from what causes polarization in our politics, our tendency to deify our "in-groups", and why the recent killing of Tyre Nichols just feels different. Dr. Shortle also discusses why it's important to talk about political issues even with family who may not agree. Whether you're curious about the effect of political identity on the choices we make, or why entertainment plays a large role in how we consume news, this episode will answer all those questions and much more!Guest Bio:Dr. Shortle is an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma, where she studies group identity in the context of American political behavior. She also serves as a faculty member for Latinx Studies and Women and Gender Studies. She runs OU's Community Engagement + Experiments Laboratory (CEEL), Oklahoma City's Community Poll (Exit Poll), and OU's Democracy Survey of OU freshmen. For fun, she lends research support to organizations seeking to increase civic engagement and improve physical and mental health of their communities.For the 2022 midterms, Dr. Shortle's exit poll class will be helping SoonerPoll, News9 (OKC), and News on 6 (Tulsa), to poll early voters around the state. Her students will also be polling voters in OKC's urban core on Election Day. Stay tuned!Dr. Shortle's new co-authored Cambridge University Press book, The Everyday Crusade: Christian Nationalism in American Politics (2022 – w. Eric L. McDaniel and Irfan Nooruddin), examines the relationship between American religious exceptionalism and prejudicial and antidemocratic attitudes. She is currently extending this line of research to examine the many faces of ethnocultural nationalism (EN) – defining American identity according to ascriptive traits such as race, religion, and gender (w. Ana Bracic and Mackenzie Israel-Trummel). Based on their recent publication on EN's relationship to family separation policy attitudes, they will analyze EN's relationship to a wide array of policy attitudes and behavioral outcomes across several countries. She also has an emerging research agenda focused on the intersection of religious identity and behavioral political administration.At the doctoral level, she teaches courses on group identity, public opinion/political psychology, and behavioral research methods.The Gospel and JusticeAs believers, how do we talk about justice well?Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showTo learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics

If there's one thing you can count on in this world, it's irony. To cut to the chase, my guest this week is Rena Cook, a Professor Emeritus at the University of Oklahoma who teaches a myriad of subjects including voice, speech, dialects, acting and directing. …and for some. dang. reason. my normal audio setup betrayed me. So please don't think I ‘masked' my voice for fear of being judged by the vocal coach.Now, with that little caveat out of the way, this week's conversation is pure gold for anyone whose job involves frequent communication - but honestly, these topics are pretty much applicable to everyone.With decades of teaching experience, Rena earned her MFA in Theater & Production from Oklahoma University, as well as an additional Masters in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.She has written multiple books on authentic, confident communication, including one specifically for women in the legal profession. Rena and I cover a lot of ground in this episode, but that only means there's more for you to pick and choose from. Topics range from how posture affects speech, teaching formerly incarcerated women how to find their voice, and why ending sentences with the “question-y” up-inflection feels like nails on a chalkboard. Oh, and because it's an episode about voice, there's plenty of impersonations and even more laughter. Enjoy the Show!

The topic of Christian nationalism has been much in the news recently. Republican politicians like Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia both have claimed the term as their own, and Boebert in particular has loudly proclaimed that she does not believe in the separation of church and state. “I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk,” she said. “The church is supposed to direct the government; the government is not supposed to direct the church.”Perhaps the most aggressive Christian nationalist, despite his protestations about the term, is Pennsylvania's Doug Mastriano, a state senator who is the Republican nominee for governor in that state. Listen to Mastriano's comments in a 2021 zoom call a week before the January 6 insurrection, in which he baptizes conspiracy theories and his political will to power in the language of spiritual righteousness.That call was organized by a man named Jim Garlow, who is reportedly influential in something called the New Apostolic Reformation, which is a loosely connected network of men and women who call themselves apostles and prophets. These self-proclaimed divine emissaries claim that God speaks to them uniquely, and they claim authority over other people based on these grounds.Here's another example of the growing fusion throughout the country between religion and politics, in a way that confuses the two as one and the same rather than understanding them as separate but enhanced by one another if cross-pollinated in healthy ways. This is audio of an event this past July 1 in Atlanta, Georgia, in which two major figures in the NAR -- Lance Wallnau and Dutch Sheets, along with two other men, Mario Murillo and Hank Kunnemman, according to Jennifer Cohn of the Bucks County Beacon -- lead an audience in a vow to take over the U.S. government and impose a theocracy.Philip S. Gorski is an expert on Christian nationalism. He is the author of "The Flag and the Cross: White Christian Nationalism and the Threat to American Democracy," along with Samuel L. Perry, a professor at Oklahoma University. Gorski is a sociology professor at Yale University and is the author of American Babylon: Christianity and Democracy Before and After Trump and American Covenant: A History of Civil Religion from the Puritans to the Present.Gorski has written this of Christian nationalism: it is "political idolatry dressed as religious orthodoxy."We talk about the ways that sometimes the term is used imprecisely to condemn anyone who is a Christian, and I ask him to help us explain the ways that political extremism, especially the growing willingness to discard democracy and pursue authoritarianism, can be motivated by this belief system.You can also check out David French's interview with Paul D. Miller about this topic here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, the Seven Ages team is joined by Chase Pipes of the Chasing History Youtube channel and podcast, as they continue the spring road trip and record live from the Spiro Mounds site in Oklahoma. Jason Pentrail, James Waldo, and Chase Pipes are joined by archaeologist and Spiro Archaeological Park Director Dennis Peterson. Dennis provides the team with a detailed explanation of the history of the Mississippian culture and excavations that have taken place over the years at the famed Spiro Mounds site. Dennis Peterson has been the manager at Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center for 30 years. In May of 1985, he came to the site when it was still a part of the State Park system under the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department (transferred over to the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1991) and started interpreting the site to the public. He was involved in the excavations under the Oklahoma Archeological Survey and Oklahoma University from 1979 to 1982 and worked with the site and other locations in Oklahoma through the Survey from 1982 to 1985. Spiro Mounds is one of the most important cultural and economic centers in the Mississippian world. It boasts one of the richest art and artifact collections in North America and is considered an international cultural treasure. Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center preserves 150 acres of the site along the Arkansas River. The center offers interpretive exhibits, an introductory slide program, and a small gift shop. Visitors can explore nearly two miles of interpreted trails, including a one-half-mile nature trail.
