Their story, which we're thrilled to share with you, is a testament to the power of combining passions: Andrew's brewing artistry and Sally's nonprofit acumen have birthed a business that's as refreshing to communities as their beer is to palates. Their spirit of philanthropy shines through in every aspect, from the eclectic local art gracing their cans to their dedication to grassroots initiatives like Be Heard, setting a new standard for how businesses can and should contribute to societal wellbeing.

As we sip and savor the flavors of Good Cause Brewing, the Whitneys take us behind the scenes of building a brewery that resonates in a crowded craft beer landscape. Their tales include a serendipitous late-night auction win of barrel racks and the meticulous science that goes into perfecting their brews. Andrew and Sally have made inclusivity their mantra, offering a variety not just limited to beer aficionados—think terpene sodas and non-alcoholic mocktails. It's a journey of crafting not just unique beverages but an inclusive experience that caters to all.

In the face of adversity, be it personal loss or natural disasters, the grit and resilience of the Whitneys are as clear as the Tulsa sky post-storm. They share the realities of navigating the tumultuous waters of entrepreneurship, from equipment woes to construction hurdles. Yet, their narrative is never without a silver lining, including the unforeseen blessings of rebuilding and the dreams they harbor for the future. Good Cause Brewing is more than a brewery—it's a beacon of hope and a celebration of the ties that bind us in our shared human experience.

Venture into the world of after-school enrichment as we reflect on the surprising cultural shift from voluntary to paid programming for educators in Tulsa. With Lauren's guidance, we explore the emotional and financial investment in after-school programs, highlighting the generous support for teachers and the essential need for diverse and inclusive opportunities for students. From cooking clubs to robotics, every activity holds educational value. Amidst the backdrop of our own high school memories and club aspirations, we underscore the challenges non-profits face in sustaining these valuable programs, especially in today's financial climate.

Cap off this enlightening conversation with a look at the big dreams for Tulsa's afterschool scene, including the need for data-driven decision-making and tracking to ensure the safety and success of these programs. We stand up for the importance of social and emotional learning in the face of skepticism, affirming that fostering a sense of safety and inclusion is fundamental for learning. As we navigate the contentious educational landscape, we reaffirm our belief in the power of a well-educated populace to sustain a functioning democracy.

In our heartfelt discussion with Maggie Hoey, the beacon of hope at Lindsey House, we journey through the stories of women and children taking brave steps towards stability. This episode peels back the layers of hardship, from the sting of domestic violence to the struggle against substance abuse, revealing the unspoken trials and triumphs of those fighting for a fresh start. We celebrate the successes that warm our hearts and confront the sobering truth of limited resources in the face of overwhelming demand.

Money—it's not just currency; it's an emotional tapestry woven from our past. As we unravel our own interwoven fears and behaviors around spending, we transition to a broader canvas, painting the stark realities of homelessness. This candid conversation not only reflects on the developmental scars it inflicts on children but also shines a light on how organizations like Lindsay House are striving to stitch together a community where dignity and stable housing are accessible to everyone. Through the lens of our shared experiences, we uncover the layers of community effort and the impediments faced in creating a spectrum of housing opportunities.

We close with a critical examination of the housing crisis, questioning how we can cultivate fertile ground for affordable living in a world where policy and practicality often clash. Maggie shares insights into the uphill battle for those transitioning from places like Lindsay House, hoping to plant roots in a place they can call their own. And as we highlight collaborations with groups such as Habitat for Humanity, we're reminded that it's not just about the physical structures we erect, but about cultivating a society that values each of its members, providing more than just shelter, but a chance to thrive.

This episode brings you a compelling discussion with Elizabeth Fisher and Comfort Keidel, key members of the Tulsa CASA team, who give us an inside look into this world where they tirelessly work to make a difference in children's lives every day.

We delve into the life of a court-appointed special advocate, exploring the rigorous training they undergo, the challenges they face, and the indomitable spirit that keeps them going. The role of CASAs in the child welfare system is undeniably crucial and we talk about the profound impact they make on the lives of the children they are assigned to. A heartwarming tale of an advocate named Bill, who successfully reunites a child with their mother, is just one testament of how rewarding this journey can be.

The episode takes an unexpected turn as we unite over our shared love for Sci-Fi fantasy books, discuss the importance of taking care of our environment, and eventually circle back to the importance of volunteering and donating to support the Tulsa Casa team. There's a special emphasis on male volunteers and we encourage listeners to take action. This episode isn't just a conversation, it's an invitation for you to join us in making a difference in the lives of countless children. Tune in, get inspired, and let's transform lives together!

He highlights the organization's focus on serving rural communities, providing volunteer opportunities, and partnering with various organizations to distribute fresh food. He emphasizes the importance of education and outreach programs to break down the stigma surrounding food insecurity.

The Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma serves 24 counties in the eastern part of the state and collaborates with about 700 different partners to ensure food reaches those in need. The organization purchases fresh produce and frozen foods, with a significant portion (40%) of their efforts dedicated to providing fresh food. They also work closely with the Oklahoma Farm to Table program, supporting local farmers by purchasing their produce at a near-market price.

We discuss the challenges faced by rural communities in accessing fresh food, as well as the difficulties people face in urban areas, where grocery stores may be far away or transportation is limited. The conversation emphasized the interconnectedness of all individuals and the importance of delivering food directly to where people are, particularly in light of the pandemic.

The Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma focuses on education and outreach programs to combat the stigma surrounding food insecurity. They offer workshops and seminars in schools, corporations, and other groups to raise awareness and create a supportive network. The podcast also encouraged individuals and corporations to donate food or money, volunteer their time, and explore team-building opportunities with the food bank's programs.

Black Tech Street looks to build a thriving capitol of Black tech in Tulsa, starting on the grounds of Black Wall Street. Tyrance talks about his vision for Black Tech Street as a way to create both innovation and wealth for Tulsa's Black community and why using technology is the key. He also says that his driving philosophy in life is built around the idea of Ubuntu (not the operating system for my fellow tech nerds out there) but the Zulu word Ubuntu, which sometimes gets translated as "I am because we are" or "humanity towards others." Listen to a fantastic discussion that covers all of the pillars of that helped shape Black Tech Street. You might also enjoy a brief discussion on the series finale of Game of Thrones.

We ask Mike how the Mental Health Association is not only dealing with Covid-19 but how, as a mental health issue itself, their work has changed during this pandemic. How this shared collective trauma could be a great equalizer amongst Americans, hopefully lowering the stigma of Mental Health, and how no matter how long this lasts, the effects of it will be felt long after. On a brighter note, we discuss Mike's fantastic and empowering management style and learn that he loves British Mystery shows.

This non-partisan, non-political group is working at this critical moment to bring people together and call on their elected leaders to do what is best for our state during this pandemic.


Laura helps make sense of the difference between a "Stay-at-home" and a "Shelter-in-Place," how innovations in education and medicine could help make a better future once this pandemic is over, how you, the listener, can get involved in helping Oklahoma get through this, and , if we are being honest, plays therapist to Jesse and Chris.


She also stills the collective Nerd Crown by talking about the game Civilization, and not just the most recent one, but about Civilization II; but not just Civilization II, but a reddit thread from seven years ago, where someone discusses what their civilization looks like after they have played the game for a full decade. The reddit thread can be found here, it is a delight in these stressful times.

Chris Moore and Aliye ShimiEpisode 3: Rev. Chris Moore and Aliye ShimiAliye Shimi, executive director of the Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry, and Rev. Chris Moore, lead pastor of Fellowship Congregational Church, discuss how to do 'good' in this world when having to stand up not only to those on the opposite side of an issue, but sometimes those who believe the same as we do, but arrive at different solutions. Whether it be child sex trafficking and the work that the Francine House will be doing to help those victims or the work that the New Sanctuary Network is doing to help persons in this country without documentation and who are trying to fight wholesale deportation, there is always more work to do.
