If you missed my announcement on social media, I’ve partnered with The Golding Group to record the Oklahoma Venture Forum podcast! OVF is a non-profit organization providing entrepreneurs and growing ventures in Oklahoma access to capital and management development through education, networking, and other resources.
For November, I recorded the Pritch Pritchard interviews in December, I’ll be taking over hosting duties interviewing Oklahoma entrepreneurs. The November episodes have been released today.
Transparency, trust, and transformation at the Better Business Bureau of Central Oklahoma. How does an Oklahoma organization anticipate its 90th birthday? In the case of the Better Business Bureau of Central Oklahoma, it stays true to the core values established in 1930 while continually adapting its services to the business community. “Transparency is one of the core values of our business,” says Kitt Letcher, the CEO and President of the Bureau. “And our standards of trust must be met before a business can earn BBB accreditation. But we’re also really trying to transform our image to business owners.”
