Oklahoma is a land of entrepreneurs – they’re being challenged to dream.  Jeri Koehler, Director of the Innovation Center returns to tell us about their work with small businesses.  They seek out talented, passionate business people and growth companies in our community.  Then they partner with them to promote their growth.  Their latest effort is called Dream Big Oklahoma.  It’s a plan to fund a lot of viable businesses from various zones all over the state.

And Anthony Wolfe, recent high school graduate, and frequent volunteer at RSU TV talks to us about his work with SPARK, a program he started to encourage high school students to volunteer in the community.  Plus he has won a national entrepreneurial award for his video production company.  And now he continues his efforts while in college, by working for MoreClaremore.
