On this episode I chatted to Carter Banks. Carter grew up in Duncan Oklahoma moved to OKC. Was always interested in history, storytelling, exploring the abandoned. In 2019 he started uploading videos of him exploring abandoned buildings in Oklahoma. Quickly realizing the his opportunity. He went all in during 2020, growing his YouTube channel and other social media platforms. Traveling the world, telling amazing stories of the abandoned.
Carter now has millions of followers across his social media platforms, and as you can imagine. Exploring abandoned buildings comes with its own challenges. Over the last 7 years he has interacted with many characters, he’s been put in jail! Crazy story, you’ll just have to listen.

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

On this episode I chatted with Juliet from OK Kids Korral and the Toby Keith Foundation. Juliet. has been with the organization for quite some time and has seen the Korral go from idea to inception and full completion. The OK Kids Korral provides a world class service to families in need. Getting the right care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city. This puts a financial and emotional toll on the families, not to mention the physical toll it takes on their child. OK Kids Korral helps make life a little easier for children with cancer by providing a safe, convenient, and hopeful place for families to connect with each other and focus on the well-being of their child. OK Kids Korral provides daytime and overnight lodging for pediatric patients and their families. The state of the art facilities at OK Kids Korral are designed to create a relaxing haven for the entire family.

On this episode I chatted with Candy from Davis Carpet and Flooring in Yukon right off Route 66. Davis Carpet first opened its doors in November 1969, in Enid, Oklahoma. Prior to this, owner Ray Davis was employed as a fireman and worked part-time at a carpet store. At only 23 years old and a new dad to a four month old baby girl, Ray begrudgingly accepted a $1,000 loan from his parents, Lee and Ellen Davis of Bethany. Ray’s parents were supportive yet nervous as Ray embarked on his new journey into the flooring world.
