Good Neighbor Podcast: Tulsa

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Coral Eginton of Compatible Lands Foundation to talk about conservation, private land ownership, military readiness, and why the land surrounding military installations matters more than most people realize.

Coral explains how Compatible Lands Foundation works with landowners, local communities, and military partners to help protect open spaces near military installations. Through conservation easements, the organization helps preserve ranchland, farmland, parks, recreation areas, habitat, and other compatible land uses while also supporting the long-term mission of nearby bases.

This conversation breaks down a surprising reality: a military base can lose training capacity without ever losing a single acre, simply because development around the base creates conflicts with noise, aviation, water use, safety, or future mission needs. Coral explains how thoughtful land protection can reduce those conflicts while still allowing landowners to keep ownership, continue ranching or farming, and pass land down through their families.

You’ll also hear how this work plays out in places like the Camp Bullis Sentinel Landscape near San Antonio, where water conservation, Edwards Aquifer recharge, land planning, local partnerships, and military readiness all overlap. Coral shares why long-term relationships matter, why these agreements are built around each landowner’s goals, and how conservation can benefit both communities and national defense.

If you care about private land conservation, ranching, military communities, water protection, smart growth, or the hidden systems that help keep America’s military prepared, this episode gives you a fascinating look behind the fence line.

Sometimes protecting the mission starts by protecting the land around it.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Jeannette McCoy of Your Neighborhood Learning Center in Broken Arrow to talk about child care, early childhood education, school readiness, and what parents should look for when choosing the right place for their child.

Jeannette shares why the word “neighborhood” matters so much to her. She wanted to create the kind of place where families feel known, children feel safe, and the center feels less like a drop-off point and more like a community that cares for one another.

This conversation also challenges one of the biggest misconceptions about child care: that it is just babysitting. Jeannette explains how a learning center can combine play, structure, foundational skills, and social development so children are better prepared for kindergarten without losing the joy of being kids.

You’ll also hear what parents should pay attention to when touring a child care center, including curriculum, playtime, communication, safety measures, staff training, CPR and first aid requirements, and whether the team feels like a true partner instead of just a provider.

If you are looking for child care, preschool, or a learning center in Broken Arrow, this episode gives you a practical look at what questions to ask and what kind of environment helps children feel happy, safe, and ready to grow.

The right learning center does more than watch your child. It helps them feel known.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Shatory Jackson of Magnifiscents to talk about handmade bath, body, and hair care, naturally derived ingredients, and how a home-based beauty brand grew from faith, science, and a real problem she wanted to solve.

Shatory shares how her journey started while she and her husband were trying to conceive their second child. After years in the medical field, she wanted to build something from home that could become a legacy for her children while still giving her room to be present as a mother.

This conversation gets into the science behind self-care. Shatory explains how she takes separate ingredients, studies how they work together, and turns them into soaps, scrubs, lotions, shampoo bars, conditioners, beard oils, hair oils, and other products made from scratch. She also talks honestly about the word “natural,” why it can mean different things in the beauty world, and why she aims for ingredients that are as close to the ground as possible while still creating products that are safe, stable, and effective.

You’ll also hear the story behind the product that made her realize Magnifiscents could become something bigger. After struggling with her own postpartum hair changes, Shatory created a recipe to help restore her hair, launched it, and watched customers start telling others about the results.

If you care about clean beauty, handmade products, natural hair care, small business, faith-led entrepreneurship, or building something meaningful from home, this episode is worth your time.

Sometimes the best product starts with the problem you had to solve for yourself.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Marcus Spaur of Between the Covers Coaching and Podcast to talk about story, healing, unwanted patterns, self-limiting beliefs, and why the past does not have to get the final word.

Marcus shares how bullying, discrimination, painful experiences, and hidden shame shaped the way he saw himself and the habits he used to cope. Through his own healing journey, he began to understand that many unwanted behaviors are not random. They are often connected to unresolved chapters people have never had the space, safety, or language to examine.

This conversation gets into the heart behind Between the Covers: looking honestly at the story between the beginning and the ending of your life. Marcus explains why there is no silver bullet, why real change rarely happens overnight, and why compassion, curiosity, and outside perspective can help people see what they could not see on their own.

You’ll also hear how Marcus uses coaching to help people work through unwanted sexual behavior, unhealthy coping patterns, relationship struggles, self-doubt, and the belief that their voice does not matter. His approach is not about shame or quick fixes. It is about asking better questions, finding the deeper need underneath the behavior, and helping people move toward real freedom one step at a time.

If you care about healing, personal growth, recovery, mindset shifts, faith-based coaching, or understanding why people get stuck in patterns they hate, this conversation gives you a thoughtful place to start.

The chapter you avoid may be the one God wants to heal next.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Jason Lee to talk about ministry, teaching, boxing, football, mentorship, and why he sees it all as one calling to build people.

Jason is a pastor, teacher, boxing trainer, and football coach, but he does not describe those as four separate jobs. He shares how each arena grew out of seeing real needs in the community and wanting to become the kind of steady presence he needed when he was younger.

This conversation gets into the difference between words and training. From the pulpit, ideas can stay theoretical. But in boxing, football, and hands-on teaching, the lesson becomes immediate. Jason explains how coaching helps people face fear, build discipline, manage anger, and discover that they are stronger than they thought.

You’ll also hear about his work with the Oklahoma School for Innovation and Experiential Learning in Bixby, his small-group approach through Sabotage Boxing, and why he believes mentorship is often about consistency more than branding. No big platform. No polished funnel. Just word of mouth, trust, and people who know where to find him.

If you care about youth mentorship, faith-based leadership, boxing, coaching, education, homeschool co-ops, or helping people feel seen instead of invisible, this conversation is worth your time.

Some callings do not stay in one lane.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Representative Stan May of Oklahoma House District 80 to talk about firefighting, public service, state politics, child safety, and what really happens behind the scenes at the Capitol.

Stan shares how he spent more than thirty years with the Tulsa Fire Department before making an unexpected jump into public office. He did not originally set out to run, but when fellow firefighters wanted someone at the State Capitol who understood public safety, retiree issues, and the realities first responders face, they helped push him onto the ballot.

This conversation gets into the real work of being a state representative: long days during session, committee assignments, caucus leadership, listening to people on every side of an issue, and learning how to move a bill from a real community problem into actual legislative language.

You’ll also hear Stan talk about the issues he believes Oklahoma families and leaders need to pay closer attention to, including internet safety, artificial intelligence, parental rights, public safety, and how fast technology is changing the world our kids are growing up in.

We also discuss his support for anti-trafficking legislation, the importance of ordinary citizens contacting their lawmakers, and why better leadership often starts with active listening instead of assuming you already know the answer.

If you care about public safety, Oklahoma politics, civic engagement, child protection, or what actually happens after someone gets elected, this episode gives you a practical look behind the curtain.

Sometimes the fire is not in the building. Sometimes it is in the decision-making room.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Andy Smith of Body Masters to talk about fitness, community, entrepreneurship, and how a Tulsa resistance training gym became much more than a place to work out.

Andy shares how he went from construction to buying Body Masters just as the gym was about to close. What started as a personal connection to a local gym became a full rebuild, including an updated facility near 103rd and Memorial with quality resistance training equipment, cardio options, infrared saunas, upgraded locker rooms, and a culture that feels different the moment you walk in.

This conversation gets into what separates Body Masters from the average big-box gym. Andy talks about keeping fitness simple, avoiding trends that come and go, and focusing on consistency, strength, and a welcoming environment where members actually know each other.

You’ll also hear Andy’s bigger view of business and purpose, including why he believes small businesses carry real responsibility in the community. From supporting Project Orphans to his work with Tulsa Girls Home, Andy shares how local ownership, steady effort, and real relationships can make an impact far beyond the workout floor.

If you are looking for a Tulsa gym, a resistance training facility, a fitness community, or a reminder that local businesses can still feel personal, this conversation is worth your time.

Sometimes the strongest thing a gym can build is community.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Steven Jones of the Steven Jones Agency with Farmers Insurance to talk about insurance, real coverage, liability, and why the cheapest policy is not always the safest choice.

Steven shares why he believes insurance should be about helping people understand their risk, not just selling a cheaper monthly payment. From auto coverage and liability limits to homeowners insurance, deductibles, and medical payments, he explains how small policy decisions can matter in a big way when life actually happens.

This conversation gets into the insurance talk most people avoid: what happens after a bad wreck, why being underinsured can expose your savings, how lawsuits and wage garnishment can become part of the picture, and why the lowest price may leave dangerous gaps hiding in plain sight.

You’ll also hear how Steven approaches insurance differently, including turning the screen toward the client, slowing the conversation down, and making sure people know what they are actually buying. His goal is not to scare people. It is to help neighbors protect their families, homes, income, and future with clearer decisions.

If you have not reviewed your auto, home, liability, or medical payment coverage lately, this episode is a practical reminder to slow down before the next claim forces the conversation.

Cheap coverage can get expensive fast.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Janae Swann of No Strings Attached to talk about outreach, recovery, lived experience, and what it looks like to love women in the sex trade without pressure, preaching, or hidden strings.

Janae shares how No Strings Attached reaches women working in strip clubs, OnlyFans, dancing, and other parts of the sex trade through consistent outreach, small gifts, honest relationships, and practical support. The goal is not to rush in and rescue people. It is to show up faithfully, learn their stories, and help them discover the dream still alive in their heart.

This conversation gets into Janae’s own story of addiction, exploitation, recovery, and seventeen years clean. She explains how lived experience changed the way she sees the women she serves, why judgment never helps someone heal, and why meaningful recovery often starts long before a person is ready to leave everything behind.

You’ll also hear what No Strings Attached actually does behind the scenes: pro bono counseling, court advocacy, dinners, baby showers, Christmas parties, support for women with children, and everyday friendship that continues after the first conversation. Janae also shares why Tulsa is different, why many women in local clubs are not making the money people assume, and why the biggest misconception is that these women do not want help.

If you care about trauma-informed outreach, addiction recovery, women’s ministry, survivor leadership, or supporting people without trying to control their choices, this conversation is worth your time.

Real love does not come with a price tag, a pitch, or a hidden agenda.

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Apostle Scott Lovett of Real Church in Tulsa to talk about faith, local ministry, church planting, inner renewal, and what it means for church to become real in everyday life.

Apostle Scott shares how Real Church grew out of years of ministry, revival work, outreach, and helping other churches get started. He talks about raising up ministers with character, not just calling, and why he believes the church should be a place where people are known, loved, challenged, and helped to grow.

This conversation gets into one of Scott’s central messages: “If you get the eternal on the internal, it affects the external.” He explains why real change has to begin inside a person before it can reshape families, churches, neighborhoods, and communities.

You’ll also hear about the practical side of his ministry, including Fervent Fire Ministries, church planting, outreach, Mission Possible youth camp, True Foundation Christian School, and Scott C. Lovett Live. From folding chairs and sound equipment to scholarships for young people, Scott describes a ministry model built around giving, building, and sending rather than competing.

If you care about local church life, spiritual growth, Christian leadership, Tulsa ministry, youth outreach, or what it looks like for faith to move beyond a Sunday service, this conversation is worth your time.

Real church is not just a place people attend. It is a life people become.
