About this episode
What happens when redemption, entrepreneurship, and leadership collide behind prison walls? Bryan, Kellen and Thad sit in an unforgettable episode spotlighting how Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt lent his influence to a powerful moment of transformation — when incarcerated men in the 1440 Promise program stepped into a “Shark Tank”-style pitch event to present business plans and declare their readiness to reenter society with strength and dignity. In this episode: You’ll hear the origin story of 1440 Promise , a Christ-centered ministry helping men in prison discover purpose, develop life skills, and rebuild identity. 1440 Promise We’ll reveal how Gov. Stitt showed up — as a judge, sponsor, or moral witness — bringing attention and legitimacy to this bold experiment in rehabilitation. Listen to the voices of the men: their hopes, stakes, and strategies as they pitch real business ideas in front of real decision-makers. We explore the tension of faith plus entrepreneurship, the risks they faced in stepping into the spotlight, and the mission of giving more than second chances — giving equipped, grounded new leaders. The governor touches on hot topics shaping Oklahoma today — from strengthening the school system and supporting local agriculture (including planting vegetables and community gardens ) to promoting innovative ideas that empower communities statewide. Tune in if you believe transformation is more than redemption — it’s the work we build. #Leadership #MenWithPurpose #CommunityImpact #Veterans #ModernCulture #SocialMedia #PodcastRecap #IntentionalLiving #GymCulture #PublicPerception #FaithInAction Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/61574584197197/?modal=focused_switcher_dialog Bryan Smith Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574584197197 Website: https://www.iambryansmith.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Iambryansmith TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@callbryansmith?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Band Of Brothers Tulsa Area: https://www.facebook.com/bobmensministrytulsa Plumbline Ministries Inc.-Stickman Teaching: https://www.facebook.com/StickmanTulsa
