Launching 5th anniversary

by The 100 Companies

https://vimeo.com/383547941

This issue marks the fifth anniversary year of The Oklahoma 100. What began as a gift to the Oklahoma community with a few thousand readers has exploded to 70,000 subscribers statewide.

That is because there are so many intriguing stories about Oklahoma to share, as well as great tips on things to do. Former Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett, currently Jones PR’s executive counsel, was one of The Oklahoma 100’s first interviews. See a glimpse of his first interview with The Oklahoma 100 from when he was mayor, and hear his forecast for 2020 and the coming decade for Oklahoma.

Mick talks MAPS 4 and Thunder Win

by The 100 Companies

https://player.vimeo.com/video/369681986

I’m old enough to remember voting for MAPS in 1993. Ron Norick was the mayor. I didn’t know him well but he seemed like a good, honest guy.

That first MAPS passed with 53% of the vote. Today, few people will admit to voting against it because, eventually, it changed everything. As I voted to pass it, I admitted to friends that, of all the MAPS projects, the idea of building a canal in that abandoned warehouse district called Bricktown seemed crazy.

But fast forward 26 years to today, Bricktown has 7 million annual visitors. Guess it turned out okay.

Gov. Stitt shares vision for state

by The 100 Companies

https://vimeo.com/365854009

Prior to speaking at the Oklahoma Business Roundtable meeting, Gov. Kevin Stitt shared his bold vision for Oklahoma’s future from the Oklahoma History Center. In his first year as governor, he has been meeting with his team –  state employees  –  to gain their input on new perspectives and directions to transform Oklahoma into a top 10 state.

His goal is to bring Oklahoma to the world and the world to Oklahoma. The governor identifies areas where Oklahoma can compete with his enthusiastic, contagious attitude: “We can do it. We will do it. I expect us to do it!”

A deeper dive into MAPS 4 with Mick Cornett

by sally@the100companies.com

https://vimeo.com/356741082

Last issue, I wrote a MAPS 4 Q&A. For this issue, I wanted to look deeper into the initiative.

So, this is MAPS 4?

Yes, the original MAPS was approved by voters in 1993. Maps for Kids, passed in 2001, rebuilt the Oklahoma City Public Schools system and included money for suburban districts. MAPS 3 was passed in 2009.

Is MAPS 4 downtown focused?

No, the intention of the original MAPS was to invest in the urban core. Previous MAPS initiatives spent millions of dollars outside the city core. MAPS 4 will likely spend even more throughout the city.

A reason to celebrate Easter

by sally@the100companies.com

https://vimeo.com/331458545

Families celebrate Easter in many ways. Dyeing eggs, filling bright-colored baskets with chocolate bunnies, hiding eggs for the entertaining egg hunt and posing with the Easter Bunny.

In all the family festivities, and it is important to spend time with family and friends, Crossings Community Church Senior Pastor Marty Grubbs reminds us of the reason why we celebrate Easter.

Hundreds of churches will welcome you to their Easter services. Or, be adventurous and take a family journey to Lawton for the Holy City of the Wichitas Easter Passion Play, the longest running passion play drama in the U.S. since 1926.

Having this one trait will make you influential

by sally@the100companies.com

We’ve got the secret to success. No joke.

Almost everyone likes a person with a good sense of humor. Studies even show humorous people are more successful and are more likely to be in positions of influence.

Humor is associated with high emotional intelligence and cognitive ability. People who have a positive humor style are also often good communicators and successful conflict resolvers. Funny people appear confident and competent, therefore increasing their status among peers.

But before you order that joke book on Amazon to memorize over the weekend, watch our video for tips on how you can realistically use humor to increase your status and gain influence.

Oklahoma’s new Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell’s first on-camera sit down interview was with The Oklahoma 100. 

In this video interview, new Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell reflects on his first moments in office and his priorities, as well as being appointed by Gov. Kevin Stitt as secretary of tourism and branding. As an entrepreneur who built a global manufacturing company with his wife, Lisa, from their garage, Lt. Gov. Pinnell plans to bring his business principles to state government by using modernization to make government more customer-centered.

Diversifying Oklahoma’s economy by fostering entrepreneurship, growing small businesses and attracting tourism are key priorities for Pinell. I hope you enjoy meeting Lt. Gov. Pinnell in this video.
