Last week I spent the day with the Skiatook Chambe of Commerce leading their daylong orientation for the second annual Leadership Skiatook. Real good conversations on leadership in our community.

Great turnout for our Saturday Pancakes and Politics in Sand Springs! We ended up with just over 20 people and had some very good discussion.
I went through the bills I’m considering to run this session which led to several questions. We also talked about eminent domain, local control, data center, non-Americans running for office, HOA’s, Defend the Guard and more.

“Observe people who are good at their work - skilled workers are always in demand and admired; they don’t take a back seat to anyone.” Proverbs 22:29 - The Message Bible

Or as I put it in my book to those moving from school and entering the workplace, “Just Don’t Suck”.
