This is Brandon Smith - Dwelling Table ( w / cohost Kennon Bryce )

On this episode myself and Kennon @tuurk interviewed Brandon Smith @dwellingtable a local food photography professional. Brandon has probably taken photos for many of the restaurants you eat at in OKC. He's had many covers for Edible OKC here in town. The best publication for food news in OKC and around the state. 

This episode comes at a time where many of the restaurants Brandon has shot for need our support. Local businesses that have adapted their operating procedures to cope with the effects of COVID19. So please order to go from your local spots. They need our support and there is so many amazing places for us to explore. 

Thanks Kennon for jumping in on this one to interview Brandon, this episode is a lot about the process of food photography. Something we all try to do when we're at the dinner table snapping pics for the gram. Listen to this and you'll learn some tips on how to improve your food photography photos. 

Thanks for listening.

Be safe

This is Jeremiah Lane

On this episode I sit with Jeremiah Lane. Assistant Director of the Children's Hospital Foundation. Jeremiah first started working for CHF Kids in college at OSU. He founded the Cowboython dance marathon, which aims to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the foundation. Last year OU raised over a million dollars for their 24hour dance marathon. 

It is unheard of to be the Assistant Director at the age of 28 but Jeremiah has worked extremely hard for this foundation. This isn't just a job for Jeremiah and we are lucky to have him working for one of Oklahoma's best Children's Hospitals. Not only has he worked hard but his son, niece and nephew have all been treated by the professionals at Children's. 

If you feel moved to help The Children's Hospital Foundation please reach out to them, host an event to raise money. Its really easy to host an event for them all information here www.chfkids.com

This is Koda Crossfit

On this episode I sat down with Koda Crossfit founders Brice and Jared. They met working out at Crossfit OKC about 10 years ago when crossfit was very new to Oklahoma. 

Brice is from west Texas, grew up playing all sports and went to the Air Force after school. Picked up a rugby ball and traveled the world representing the US Air Force. Pretty awesome experience if you ask me. 

Jared grew up in south eastern Oklahoma. Played golf at NSU in Tahlequah Oklahoma. From there he worked as a golf pro ending up at Oak Tree Country Club before leaving to open the first Koda location in OKC. 

Really enjoyed sharing their story. Follow Koda online @kodacrossfit and on the internet for all the information you need to know about locations, events and merch at www.kodacrossfit.com

This is Hannah Griffis

On this episode I sit down with friend Hannah Griffis. I met Hannah through her husband Matthew; we played golf together at SNU. 

Hannah has transformed herself in the past two years. Catching herself in the mirror one day she wasn't happy with what she saw and felt. Right there she decided to make a change. While working full time for DHS she started the journey to a healthier lifestyle by working out a lot. However, because she didn't change her eating habits, there was very little improvement. 

With this awareness she dove into all the information she could research about nutrition and dieting. Hannah lost 40lbs by counting her calories, weighing her food and being conscious of what she puts in her body. 

After this transformation, friends started to ask how? Hannah started a Facebook group to tell everyone asking. After her friends started to transform (my wife being one of them) Hannah put her findings into an Ebook to help others change their image. First time gym goers, people with zero nutritional knowledge. People like most of us who want to workout but don't want to get sore, or women who don't want to get stole at the gym. 

My wife lost 20lbs by weighing her food, eating the correct portion sizes and oh eating ice-cream every night!! A small cup but she still ate ice cream every night. If you are struggling in this department, you don't like how you look and you want to make a change. Reach out to Hannah, its not hard its just doing the work. You deserve it.
