Oklahoma has the land, the talent, the values, and the location to win big—yet for years, we’ve watched other states out-build and out-recruit us.

The problem isn’t potential. It’s the lack of a plan.

In this episode of Bold Ideas, Gentner Drummond sits down with Dave Stewart, Chief Administrative Officer of MidAmerica Industrial Park, one of America’s most successful economic engines. Under his leadership, MidAmerica has attracted world-class companies, cutting-edge industries, and thousands of high-paying jobs to rural Oklahoma.

Together, they dig into:

• What’s working in Oklahoma’s economy right now
• What’s holding us back from competing nationally
• How workforce, infrastructure, and leadership shape economic growth
• Bold steps we must take now to bring new jobs and investment to our state

This episode is all about opportunity—how we compete, how we grow, and how we build a stronger future for Oklahoma families.

If you care about jobs, investment, and the future of Oklahoma’s economy, this conversation is for you.
