On this episode I chatted with Stacy the Executive Director for C4K. C4K started in 2011 from a pile of basketball shoes, soccer cleats and football gear in the corner of an Oklahoma City garage. Mark McDaniel was a local coach whose kids were extremely active. Mark saw what his children had outgrown and realized that the shoes that no longer fit Cole, Josh or Meghan could benefit someone else. The McDaniel family believed in the transformational power of sports and wanted to share that experience with kids no matter their financial background. Thus, C4K was born.

Since its founding in 2011, C4K has experienced exponential growth in the amount of equipment distributed and kids' lives impacted. We work with schools, community partners and nonprofits to get gear to kids in need. C4K equips and empowers kids in all 77 Oklahoma Counties.

On the episode I chatted with return guest and photographer Jared about his latest Euro trip, photo project and his studio in OKC. Available for rent at www.lightboxokc.com

"Inspired by the legendary artist before him like Ritts and Newton, Jared carves out his own style while still staying true to the roots. Shooting on his Hasselblad 500 C/M there is no room for error. Jared’s style is precise and sure. He captures the rawness in his subjects, never looking for the “perfect” frame, but the real one."
