Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Carrie Henderson, executive director of Iron Gate Tulsa, to talk about hunger relief, homelessness, dignity, food as medicine, and what it looks like to serve hundreds of neighbors every morning.

Carrie shares how Iron Gate serves a daily morning meal in downtown Tulsa with no barriers and no complicated process. Guests can come as they are, receive a meal, sit down, and be treated like human beings. For many, it is not just about food. It is a place where no one is rushed away, overlooked, or treated like a problem to move along.

This conversation gets into the real work behind feeding 250 to 300 people each morning and serving hundreds of plates a day. Carrie explains how Iron Gate has rethought its meals through a food-as-medicine lens, including fresher fruits and vegetables, leaner proteins, salad options, fewer sugary foods, and a calmer dining room built around care.

We also talk about the support network that gathers around the meal, including local service providers, case management, veteran support, mental health resources, and community partners who meet people where they already are. Carrie also shares how Iron Gate partners with the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, grocery stores, donors, churches, foundations, and volunteers to keep food moving seven days a week.

You’ll also hear about the Faces portrait project, the dignity Carrie sees in Iron Gate’s guests, and why storytelling matters when a community has learned to look past people experiencing homelessness.

If you care about Tulsa nonprofits, hunger relief, homelessness, food rescue, volunteer work, or practical ways to help neighbors in need, this conversation gives you a grounded look at what compassion looks like before most of the city starts its day.

Sometimes dignity starts with a plate of food and a place to sit.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Jake Johnson, founder of Best in BA, to talk about Broken Arrow small businesses, local visibility, community nominations, and how a simple voting competition can help neighbors discover the businesses around them.

Jake shares how he moved from Minnesota to Broken Arrow, fell in love with the city, and started noticing how many great local businesses were still hidden in plain sight. After filming short videos in the Rose District and seeing people walk into businesses because they discovered them online, he began asking a bigger question: how can more Broken Arrow businesses get recognized?

That question became Best in BA, a community-driven business recognition competition where residents can nominate and vote for their favorite local restaurants, services, shops, and mom-and-pop businesses. Jake explains how the process works, why free nomination profiles matter, and how sponsorships help make the platform accessible instead of squeezing small businesses for attention.

We also talk about what makes Broken Arrow feel like a “big small town,” why storytelling matters for local marketing, and how Jake has built trust by showing up through the Chamber, Rotary, local events, business relationships, and long-form conversations with business owners.

If you care about shopping local, discovering new places in Broken Arrow, supporting small businesses, or understanding how local visibility actually happens, this conversation gives you a practical look at how one simple idea can help neighbors become loyal customers.

Every local business has a story. Best in BA is helping Broken Arrow find them.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Jagger Reznikov, an app builder, vibe coder, and entrepreneur, to talk about AI-assisted development, building apps without a traditional coding background, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a working product.

Almost everyone has an app idea, but most people assume they need a programmer, a large budget, or years of technical experience to build it. Jagger explains how vibe coding is changing that by lowering the barrier for beginners, small business owners, and creators who want to move from concept to something real.

This conversation also gets honest about the limits of AI. Jagger explains why one prompt will not magically build a finished app, why debugging still matters, and why payment integration, Apple App Store guidelines, delete-account requirements, subscriptions, updates, and user feedback all become part of the real work.

You’ll also hear about Jagger’s own app-building journey, including his iOS journaling app, Velum Journal, and why journaling, reflection, and future-focused features became a meaningful place for him to start. He also shares what he is learning from building multiple apps, experimenting with mobile games, exploring more complex projects, and growing through organic content on TikTok and X.

If you have ever had an app idea, wondered what AI can actually build, or wanted to understand vibe coding without the hype, this episode gives you a practical place to start.

Building is easier than ever. Shipping something useful still takes work.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Jeremy Newkirk of Roof Leaks & More to talk about roof leaks, storm damage, inspections, insurance claims, and the warning signs homeowners should not ignore.

Jeremy explains why a roof leak is often the final symptom of a problem that has been building for months or even years. From shingle granules collecting in gutters to cracked pipe gaskets, flashing failures, soft decking, and flat roof issues, he shares the simple signs homeowners can watch for before water starts showing up inside the house.

This conversation also gets into what happens after you call a roofer. Jeremy breaks down how a hands-on roof inspection works, why drones can miss hail damage, how storms can quietly reduce the life of a roof, and why shingles that look fine from the ground may still have problems that need attention.

You’ll also hear Jeremy’s practical advice on insurance claims, including the difference between hail damage and wind damage, why some policies pay for repairs instead of full replacement, and how filing on the wrong storm date can affect the outcome of a claim.

Finally, we talk about roofing scams, fake roof photos, incentive-driven advice, and how homeowners can protect themselves with referrals, multiple opinions, Google reviews, and careful decision-making before signing anything.

If you own a home in Oklahoma and want to avoid costly surprises, this episode is worth hearing before the next storm rolls through.

A roof leak is expensive. Catching the warning signs early is wisdom.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Justin Gorski, general manager of the Tulsa Drillers, to talk about baseball, community, fireworks, and what makes ONEOK Field one of Tulsa’s most memorable gathering places.

Justin shares why a Tulsa Drillers game is about much more than watching baseball. From future Los Angeles Dodgers talent on the field to Hornsby, the splash pad, playground, food, drinks, theme nights, and Friday night fireworks, ONEOK Field is built to give families, fans, and first-time visitors something to enjoy from the moment they walk in.

This conversation also pulls back the curtain on what fans do not always see: offseason planning, stadium maintenance, promotions, food and beverage decisions, operations, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps a 17-year-old ballpark feeling fresh.

You’ll also hear how the Tulsa Drillers serve as a community hub for nonprofits, schools, families, businesses, and local groups. Justin talks about charity events, watch parties, community nights, and programs that help people experience the ballpark who may not otherwise get the chance.

If you grew up with the Drillers, love Tulsa traditions, or want a night out that feels bigger than the scoreboard, this episode gives you a fun look at the people and planning behind the magic at ONEOK Field.

Sometimes the game is only the beginning of the night.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Steve Grantham, executive director of Up With Trees, to talk about Tulsa’s urban forest, neighborhood shade, tree planting, and how one phone call helped grow a movement that has lasted 50 years.

Steve shares the surprising origin story behind Up With Trees: a Tulsa high school student noticed trees being removed for a road project, called City Hall, and helped spark a nonprofit that has now planted more than 40,000 trees and distributed hundreds of thousands more throughout Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma.

This conversation gets into what urban forestry really means. Steve explains why trees are not just decoration. They cool streets, soften traffic noise, improve neighborhoods, support healthier communities, and make everyday places feel more alive.

You’ll also hear about the 3-30-300 rule: three visible trees from home, work, or school, 30% neighborhood canopy coverage, and quality green space within 300 yards. Steve explains why that simple framework can help cities think more clearly about shade, health, access, and long-term neighborhood care.

If you care about Tulsa, neighborhoods, conservation, volunteering, local nonprofits, or what your street could look like with more shade and care, this episode gives you a fresh look at the trees most people drive past without thinking twice.

Sometimes changing a city starts with asking what happens to one tree.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Mayor Stephen Tyler Holman of Norman, Oklahoma to talk about local leadership, city growth, public pressure, and what it really takes to serve a community up close.

Mayor Holman shares how his family’s roots in Norman go back generations, from Main Street memories to watching the city change over time. That history shapes the way he leads today, especially in a growing city where decisions about streets, sidewalks, water, sewer, zoning, public safety, and development affect people’s daily lives.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what most people never see: one-on-one meetings with residents, public votes after months of process, neighborhood concerns, budget realities, and the constant challenge of making decisions when someone will be upset no matter what happens.

You’ll also hear Mayor Holman talk candidly about issues facing Norman, including a proposed turnpike, homelessness and rehousing efforts, neighborhood pressure, social media, misinformation, AI-generated content, and the emotional weight of decisions that can affect someone’s home, commute, or sense of stability.

If you care about local government, city planning, civic leadership, public safety, growth, housing, or what actually happens behind the scenes at City Hall, this episode gives you a grounded look at the human side of public service.

Local leadership is not abstract when the decision reaches your street.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Erin Martin, founder and CEO of FreshRx Oklahoma, to talk about food as medicine, preventive healthcare, local farmers, and how fresh produce can become part of real support for people facing chronic disease.

Erin shares how her early work with older adults opened her eyes to a healthcare system where people were often following instructions, taking prescriptions, and still getting worse. That concern eventually helped shape FreshRx Oklahoma, a program where clinicians can prescribe fresh, locally grown food and connect patients with the education and support they need to actually use it.

This conversation goes beyond handing someone a bag of vegetables. Erin explains how FreshRx helps people rebuild confidence in the kitchen through knife skills, cooking demos, seasonal recipes, check-in calls, goal setting, mental health conversations, sleep support, and a patient-first culture that feels respectful instead of judgmental.

You’ll also hear why soil health, regenerative agriculture, and local farmers matter to a healthcare program. Erin breaks down why not all produce is equal, how long supply chains can affect freshness and nutrients, and why investing in local food systems can support both community health and the local economy.

If you care about diabetes support, food insecurity, preventive healthcare, regenerative agriculture, local farmers, or practical ways to eat healthier on a budget, this episode gives you a clear place to start.

Sometimes the path to better health starts with what is growing close to home.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Oscar Garcia of Valmonte Enterprises to talk about custom builds, outdoor living, property development, and why clarity before construction can save homeowners and investors from expensive surprises.

Oscar shares how Valmonte Enterprises helps clients think through the full process before a project begins, from finding land and creating blueprints to planning finishes, outdoor living spaces, pools, patios, and larger development projects. His goal is to help people understand what they are walking into before they sign, build, or commit real money.

This conversation gets into the hidden details that can change everything: soil conditions, utilities, easements, restrictions, design choices, material costs, and whether a property actually supports the plan someone has in mind. Oscar explains why asking better questions early can help avoid confusion, budget problems, and stressful surprises later.

You’ll also hear how Valmonte works with investors, homeowners, and property owners across Tulsa and surrounding areas, including projects involving custom homes, build-to-sell strategy, build-to-rent planning, outdoor upgrades, and storm restoration after hail, wind, tornadoes, or fire.

If you are thinking about building, restoring, developing land, adding an outdoor living space, or starting a major property project, this episode is worth hearing before the dirt moves.

The best time to find the problem is before construction starts.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Dominique Campbell of Turning Point Global Media to talk about visual storytelling, church media, nonprofit marketing, small business growth, and why clear visuals can help good ideas move faster.

Dominique shares how his path from professional musician and drummer led into building a media company focused on helping churches, nonprofits, and small businesses turn simple ideas into visual stories people can actually understand. His approach is practical: move fast, communicate clearly, use the client’s own words, and create visuals that help people see the message instead of getting lost in it.

This conversation gets into what “visual storytelling” really means beyond making a nice-looking video or graphic. Dominique explains how a few strong words, clean design, sharp aesthetics, and fast response time can help a message land in a scroll-heavy world where attention disappears quickly.

You’ll also hear Dominique talk about faith-driven entrepreneurship, discipline, consistency, referrals, and why he sees business as spiritual warfare. He shares why money is speed, why leadership and legacy show up in daily work, and why some people are waiting for a “red light” when they may already have permission to move.

We also discuss Turning Point University, a hybrid program built around leadership, financial literacy, biblical literacy, and practical teaching that can be brought directly into churches and student communities.

If you care about church media, nonprofit marketing, visual storytelling, small business growth, or building with more clarity and consistency, this episode gives you a practical look at how ideas become movement.

A good idea still needs to be seen clearly.
