This is David Davis - National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum | Route 66 Exhibit
Saturday Mar 14, 2026
Saturday Mar 14, 2026
On this episode I chatted with David about the wonderful celebration of Route 66.
The story of the American West is, at its heart, a story about movement. Folks moving across a wide, wild stretch of land—different people, cultures, and communities all heading west for their own reasons. Over time, the push westward became less about wandering and more about building—building ways to get people and goods from here to there. And at the center of all that movement? The roads, rivers, rails, and trails that carved their way through this rugged land.
We tell that story in our new exhibition: Route 66: From Trails to Truck Stops.

Friday Feb 27, 2026
Friday Feb 27, 2026
On this episode I chatted with Oil & Gas and Real Estate entrepreneur Michael Horton about his career and love for the state of Oklahoma. Michael grew up in Ardmore Oklahoma, graduated from OU and dove head first into the Oil & Gas industry. Finding great mentors from the industry, some from his alma matter or OU. Michael soared into leadership roles everywhere he worked. From New Orleans, Midland, Tulsa and then to Denver Michael stayed focused on growth with great people around him. After multiple Billion dollar exits he turned his focus on Real Estate for a stint and founded Good Living Ventures, rehabbing mobile home parks in Arizona. Transforming forgotten and neglected properties into safe, clean and thriving communities. But Michael has the Oil & Gas bug back in a big way and is ready to get back into the mix here in Oklahoma.

On this episode I sat with Lance Walker. Lance is one of the most respected human performance experts in the world — a physical therapist and coach who has trained Olympians, NFL players, and elite athletes across the globe. What makes Lance a uniquely Oklahoma story is how he’s using that world-class expertise right here at home to help build a healthier, more resilient state. At HPNRI, he’s leading groundbreaking work that ranges from:
Physical literacy for Oklahoma children — helping kids move better, feel better, and build lifelong healthy habits.
Movement and aging research — studying how older adults can maintain strength, mobility, and independence.
Human performance innovation — taking principles once reserved for elite athletes and applying them in schools, clinics, workplaces, and communities across Oklahoma.
