Fifty years before the world wide web and more than 80 years ahead of the phenomenon of social media, Wiley Post, was (in today’s parlance) an “influencer.” Wiley Post went from being a dare-devil barnstormer and pilot of the rich and famous to becoming the first person to fly solo around the world. He was honored with the keys to New York City, celebrated with a pair of ticker-tape parades, and hosted at the White House by two different presidents.

My great-great grandmother on my father’s side was an innovator. Her name was Moning Rix Tarpley Gannaway. Our family and the neighbors called her “Annie.” Back in 1862, as a woman living in a decidedly man’s world, Annie patented a new and innovative boot-blacking stand.

The Intern Partnership Program provides up to $30,000 per project per year for up to two ....
Everything in life is cyclical. As terrible as 2020 has been for so many, the human spirit is amazing. Over the last month, as people have begun receiving vaccines that were developed in less than a year, I sense a bit of restored optimism. Who isn’t hoping (and expecting) that 2021 will be an improvement over 2020? I have talked to many people of all walks of life and diverse businesses and industries in Oklahoma who feel like there are new ways to actually make things better for themselves, their families and friends and for the communities where they live.
