This is Prairie Surf Media

On this episode I welcome back two previous guests Matt Payne and Rachel Cannon to talk about their new venture. Bringing big movie production, tv shows and more to Oklahoma. As you may have seen over the last few weeks this pair of creators have been blasted over various front covers and rightly so. They deserve it all and I am extremely excited to share their story with you today. Making bog moves recently with the announcement of the Cox Convention Center being used as a location to build sets for shows etc. But enough from me. Enjoy this episode and the future that is Prairie Surf Media.

This is Leap Coffee Roasters

On this episode I chatted with Eric & Kari about their roaster business here in OKC. This episode was made possible by the Made in Oklahoma Program. Created for Oklahoma’s entrepreneurs, their free-to-join program focuses on economic growth and development for small businesses who grow, process or manufacture a good within Oklahoma. Retail stores who sell Made in Oklahoma products can also benefit from being in their program. Above all, they encourage you to support and shop local whenever possible. Find them on Facebook or visit their website at www.madeinoklahoma.net to learn more. 

Leap Coffee Roasters supplies many coffee shops here in OKC and has a very interesting love for the arts community. Each year they partner with a featured artist selected by their peers on the Leap panel. This artist helps to make a signature roast and receives proceeds for the rest of time from that roast. They design the artwork and become a part of the Leap team. Eric is an actor and Kari has always had a love for the arts. Its a great mix.

This is Miller Pecan Co

On this episode I chatted with Jared Miller to talk his family pecan business which is one of the very few full service locations from tree to table Pecan making business. 

About.

From the river bottoms and creek beds of Northeast Oklahoma, the Miller family is proud to provide environmentally responsible, delicious, nutritious, locally-grown pecans for families, five-star restaurants, gourmet candy-makers and specialty bakeries all across the United States.  

With their father, Len, brothers Justin and Jared Miller began growing and harvesting pecans in the mid-1980s. As their passions evolved, the Miller brothers desired to carry on their father's legacy in pecan production, as well as expand into other areas of the pecan processing business. 

From first building a custom cleaning facility in a nearby Kansas town, to constructing harvesting facilities in Miami, Oklahoma to landing a home in Afton, Oklahoma, the family business has continued to grow and evolve into an even more surreal embodiment of their father's pecan dream. 

Today, Miller Pecan Company is one of the only producers in the United States to handle their pecans from planting, grafting and harvesting to cleaning, shelling and marketing, allowing them to deliver unforgettable quality to their customers every single day.

This is Wyatt Poindexter

On this episode I chatted with Luxury realtor and Rock music enthusiast Wyatt Poindexter. Like the majority of self made entrepreneurs Wyatt's story consists of hard work, risk taking and always raising the bar when marketing a luxury home. The best part of this podcast though was diving into Wyatt's absolute addiction to Rock music. In particular U2. He's grown a business from his lifelong passion called Treasured Rock. If you've seen someone play live or listened to rock music at all. Wyatt has probably had that artists memorabilia through his business. 

Also he just turned 50 so go with him a Happy Birthday!
