This is Oklahoma

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.

On this episode I sit down with President & CEO of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame Shannon Rich.  

As president and CEO, Rich directed the single-largest endeavor in the organization’s 90-year history—the opening of the Gaylord–Pickens Museum. Before joining the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Rich served as executive vice president at John Q. Hammons Hotels, opening both the Renaissance Oklahoma City Hotel and the Downtown Courtyard by Marriott.

Rich’s leadership has resulted in a tremendous impact on the Oklahoma Hall of Fame’s statewide exposure, educational programming and guest experience with more than 45,000 Oklahoma students experiencing the Museum through the free field trip program; the creation of one of the most active teen boards in the state; a significant increase in overall donor support; the launching of an emerging leaders board of young professionals; free family programming; the completion of a $19-million capital campaign; and enhancing the experience and revenue associated with the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Rich continues to make a lasting impact on her community. Her awards and honors include being recognized as one of Oklahoma’s “Most Admired CEOs,” and she is a three-time honoree and inductee of the Circle of Excellence for the Journal Record’s “50 Making a Difference”.

Rich is a fifth-generation Oklahoman and a proud graduate of Oklahoma City University. She and her husband, Kelly Kerr, have one daughter—Mia. Together, they enjoy playing tennis, golf and being outdoors.

On this episode I sat with marketing director for the Myriad Gardens Leslie Spears. Leslie is awesome! She does so much for the gardens all year round. Every event you see. Every publication. All the beautiful things you see in the media about the gardens has hands on it. 

She was so much fun to sit with and learn about the gardens and all they do for downtown OKC.

Her favorite event is the Cat Movie night where they play cat videos for about an hour over the big screen on the lawn. 

As well as the full moon bike ride around town. Definitely worth attending both.

This is Bobby Gruenewald

On this episode I sit with Bobby Gruenewald. A Pastor and Innovation Leader at Life Church. He is also the founder of the YouVersion Bible App. One of the most downloaded Apps in the world. Bobby was one of the first people I reached out to for my podcast back in March 2018. After two years of following up we finally sat down to share his story. Extremely thankful to have 45mins with Bobby, I sensed we could have talked for hours about his fascinating encounters. But, this 45mins is filled with gems. 

Most know Bobby for creating the Bible App. YouVersion was one of the first 200 apps to be launched on the App Store. A huge accomplishment for Bobby and his team at Life Church. He handed the Pope Francis a gold iPhone with the app on it. There's a lot more to his story which I'm happy to bring to you today. As you'll learn from the interview, he's always pushing himself to improve everyday.  

A lover of innovation and people.
