Mike Naifeh joins The Timeloop to share the remarkable path that took his family from Lebanon to Oklahoma—and took him from buying a convenience store at age 20 to becoming one of Sapulpa’s best-known business and community figures.

Mike discusses Pop Shop’s dramatic turnaround after he decided to close on Sundays, his unexpected move into the printing business, and the story behind the revival of Wimpy’s Sandwich Shop.

From a kid in a town of under 2,000 people, Broc Sewell left Kellyville, Oklahoma as soon as he graduated and ventured out to ... everywhere. Along the way, he discovered a world outside the US that he fell in love with, and although Broc admits he was "mostly lost" as he made his way through Japan, Greece, Germany, Italy, South Korea (during COVID, no less), and South Africa, he's learned some great life lessons along the way as he delves into his next big adventure—writing and funding an Epic Adventure Fantasy series.0:00 Meet Broc Sewell1:34 From Kellyville to Japan—and Around the World3:23 What Inspired Broc’s Life of Travel4:24 Writing Himself Into His Characters5:36 The 14-Year Journey to Publish His First Novel8:18 The Soul-Crushing Search for a Literary Agent13:44 Choosing Kickstarter and Independent Publishing14:37 A Fully Funded Campaign—and Legendary Audiobook Narrators15:46 Planning the Eight-Book Legends of Sora Series16:38 Funding Fury’s End in Just Two Hours17:21 Inside the Deluxe Edition of Fair With Fortune18:21 Broc’s Plans for the Next Six Books19:26 How to Support Fury’s End on Kickstarter20:28 Getting Both Books Through the CampaignSee the Kickstarter for the first Legends of Sora book, "Fair with Fortune:" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brocsewell/legends-of-sora-fair-with-fortuneThe Kickstarter for Book Two, titled "Fury's End:" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brocsewell/legends-of-sora-book-2-furys-endThe Legends of Sora Website: https://legendsofsora.com/Broc's website: https://brocsewell.com/

In 1928, Sapulpa endured what author Kirby Davis dubbed "The Great Divorce" when the Frisco Railroad relocated its operations to Tulsa. Overnight, the city lost its largest employer—and the industry that had defined its identity for nearly fifty years. As the young community was plunged into the hardships of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, its future seemed anything but certain. Yet, in a twist of history, the same automobile that helped diminish the railroad's dominance also gave Sapulpa a second chance. The arrival of Route 66 through the heart of town ushered in a new era, transforming the struggling railroad community into a thriving stop along America's most famous highway.

In today's episode, we welcome back Kirby Davis, the author of the 2-part series called "The Great Beckoning," about the rise of Sapulpa, the railroad, and Route 66.
