16
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we're we just wanted to visit a little

17
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>bit about one of the Leadership Artist book class at

18
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>thirty are our class project this year. So it's an

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>exciting adventure, all right.

20
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Je.

21
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>First of all, sure you tell us a little bit

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>about Leadership Martinsville and what it's all about Allergy season.

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>It is Leadership Martlesville. It is a program that started

24
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>back in the eighties and like you said, this is

25
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>coming up to be our thirty fifth class there's a

26
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>couple of years where they did two classes in a year,

27
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>so it's not quite exactly year by year, but anyhow,

28
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>it is a leadership development program, but not leadership in

29
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>the sense of we're going to make you you know,

30
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>how to be the best leader. It's more immersing you

31
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>into our community. And so it is a year long program.

32
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Once a month we meet and they take a date,

33
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>dive into whatever the issue for that month is. It

34
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>might be education, healthcare, our community services, getting a real

35
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 1>overview of that, and they meet the folks making the decisions.

36
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>People that are involved in solving the issues. We talk

37
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>issues do a lot of that. They sit in their capstones,

38
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>field trips, tours of different places, behind the scene type

39
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>things that most people don't really have access to. So

40
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it gives them a lot of special opportunities, special things that,

41
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the general you know person may not

42
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>have access to. But it just gives them a really

43
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>wide understanding of our community, what makes up our community,

44
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>how our community works together. Maybe doesn't work together in

45
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>some areas, however, But the goal is to graduate folks

46
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>who come out with this wealth of knowledge and then

47
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>plug into the community and they're more effect even serving

48
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>their community, whether it's through their job, whether they found places,

49
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>which is usually always happens, they find out some places

50
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>that really kind of triggered their passion and they want

51
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>to get involved in a committee or serve on their

52
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>board or whatever. And that's what we're trying to do

53
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is plug folks into those those roles.

54
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So now, Kelsey, you know a thing or sixteen about

55
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 3>the city, so I imagine you know this is kind of

56
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of it's all habits, so it's kind

57
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 3>of new to you as well.

58
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 4>It was definitely you know, I've lived in Bartlesville more

59
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 4>than twenty years and I worked at the newspaper for

60
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 4>ten and so you know, you do kind of feel

61
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 4>like you know Bartlesville. But I would definitely say when

62
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 4>you join leadership Bartlesville, you come away with a lot

63
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 4>of insights and just those behind the scenes tours and

64
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 4>getting to hear from leaders and nonprofits that you wouldn't

65
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>otherwise get. There's no way you could pack all of

66
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 4>that on your own. So even if you think you

67
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 4>know Bartlesville, I would say it's a very valuable, very

68
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 4>valuable experience.

69
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, Ben, you've been around a lot of Bartlesville and

70
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of different capacities. I imagine this kind of

71
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 3>was a cool thing for you.

72
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, it really was.

73
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, like Kelsey said, you know, after living in

74
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Bartlesville for a long time and being fully immersed or

75
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>so you think, fully immersed in the community, you think

76
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>you know everything.

77
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 3>I was wrong.

78
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, I had multiple people say, you're going to

79
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>find something that you had no idea about. And there

80
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 2>are so many things that I had no clue happened

81
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>in Bartlesville, things that were available. It just it was.

82
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 2>It was truly an eye opening experience but also very rewarding.

83
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And plus I have to fight thirty new new connections

84
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>and friends and and people that I can call on

85
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>at a on a whim.

86
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>That's that's amazing. And you know, you really kind of

87
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>widen your field of contacts and people who you can

88
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 3>associate with so you can help solve problems and maybe

89
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 3>sometimes create new things. We create a lot of things

90
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 3>in this town.

91
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 4>We we do.

92
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Now we're going to create a class project and this

93
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>is a we were talking about this a little bit

94
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 3>earlier off microphone about a nonprofit leadership development brand and

95
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>that is this all going to.

96
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Come about Yeah, so we had we when we started

97
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 2>talking about class project and what we really wanted to do,

98
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to make sure that we left a legacy.

99
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 2>We wanted a legacy for our class, but also a

100
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>legacy for the organization itself, and how could we do

101
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>that and one of the things that we looked at,

102
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 2>we looked at a whole bunch of different things, all different.

103
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it took us most of the year.

104
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Amazing to watch the class.

105
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, the last two to three weeks we we

106
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>narrowed it down and we steamrolled with it. We decided

107
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that you know, Bartelesfield's full of nonprofits, and each one

108
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>of those nonprofits obviously have a leader, and we felt

109
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>that giving them the opportunity to be able to go

110
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>through the program was was huge. A lot of times

111
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>with nonprofit leaders or nonprofits, cost costs associated with different

112
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>things can be a prohibiting factor, and we wanted to

113
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>eliminate that for those nonprofit leaders. So as a group,

114
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>we decided, hey, let's let's see what we can do.

115
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>So we got with the BCF, We visited with Sherry

116
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>several times and went just kind of molded around and

117
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>worked through it and began developing this grant with the

118
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>BCF and it is that's that's just what it is.

119
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>It is a nonprofit Leadership Development grant.

120
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 3>My goodness sakes, Yes, that's a little bit of a project.

121
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 3>That's just a little bit of an undertaking. That's a

122
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>lot of whole work and study. You guys still had

123
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 3>to have fun.

124
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 1>That is a great project. I was excited that that's

125
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>where they landed because so many of our nonprofits are

126
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the ones solving a lot of our issues, the things

127
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>people that you know, oh, you know, this is an

128
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>issue or that's a problem, and you know, you turn

129
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to our nonprofits and people are amazed. And I've heard

130
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>two different numbers, but we have at least one hundred

131
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>nonprofit organizations in the community. And they're not all dealing

132
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>with social issues, but I mean a lot of them.

133
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're they're trying to solve, trying to help,

134
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and so, you know, and they operate on shoe string budgets.

135
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would say ninety nine percent. It is

136
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>rare that trigger finds we oh, yeah, our budget's great.

137
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>We don't you know, we're doing you know, especially in

138
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the nonprofit world, and so like Ben said, and that

139
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>cost is sometimes what's holding them back from being able

140
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 1>to apply because there is a cost associated. I mean

141
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>this includes the program includes like I said, once a

142
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>month and then there's four months where there's an extra

143
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 1>luncheon that's a little bit expanded, but it's not taken

144
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>out your whole day because most of the other days

145
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 1>are eight to five and you know, so there's breakfast,

146
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>there's lunch, there's transportation. Just the fees associated with some

147
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of the different places we go, where things we see,

148
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing. So I mean, there is there

149
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>is tuition cost to it, but we don't want that

150
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to hold back from a nonprofit being able to go through.

151
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>So I was, I was so excited this is where

152
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:34.360

190
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>really well. And it's a kind of a peaceful, easy

191
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 3>feeling when you're hanging with the Eagles.

192
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>They need it really easy to take it eat.

193
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh my goodness sakes. Now, applications what do those do?

194
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>June the thirtieth. So, applications are open right now. You

195
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 1>complete found at Bartlesville dot com and it's on the homepage.

196
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>There's a row of little icons and one of those

197
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>circle icons is Leadership Bartlesville. The dates, the calendar of events,

198
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 1>all the information, sign up for the interview, everything is

199
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>right there. So, but they June thirtieth is a cutoff.

200
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>So and we always have more than which is I

201
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.279
<v Speaker 1>hate this time of year. I love it, but I

202
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>hate it because it's like it's what everybody. But it

203
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>is a selection process, so it is an alarm be selected.

204
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>But we always have more apply than can can be accepted.

205
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 3>So now there are some who were losing who are thinking, well, gee,

206
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 3>this must be just for the kids, just for the kids.

207
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>No, and that is another big misconception. I have more

208
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 1>people that are you know, forties, fifties, you know, even

209
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in the early sixties, and like, well, I know that's

210
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>for the younger, you know, younger upcoming, you know, young

211
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>professional types. So I'm like, no, we want a diversified class.

212
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't want just all young. We don't want just

213
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>all old. I mean, it is a mix. It's men,

214
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 1>it's women, it's there's some young ones in there. But

215
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>there were what couple that were I know, I won't

216
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>say names, but there were several that were probably early sixties,

217
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>late fifties. Yeah, so you go, Tom, come on.

218
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Those things that I know one of the one of

219
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 2>our classmates, he he made the comment, he said, again

220
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I thought I knew.

221
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 3>And oh yeah I didn't. And he.

222
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I just loved loved having him in our class because

223
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 2>he really shared so much with us and brought a

224
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of I feel like a lot of history and

225
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 2>made the class even more.

226
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 4>I want to you're talking about, Yes, he knew somebody everywhere,

227
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 4>we went everywhere, but those still say that he came

228
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 4>away with you.

229
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he experienced granger matters. Yeah, yeah, granger here.

230
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 1>But that is one thing you always hear, you know,

231
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and if you're new to community, obviously you're gonna learn

232
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I mean, that's an obvious but we have

233
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>people that have grown up here and every year it's

234
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the same thing Vin said. You know, you think you're

235
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 1>immersed in the community, you think you really know what's

236
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>going on. Even when you follow you know a lot

237
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of things. They always go, oh, I had no idea.

238
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea. I did not know. And so

239
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 1>that's one of my favorite I love Capstone, which is

240
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>where they kind of each member at the end of

241
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>the year gets up and talks about, you know, what

242
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>what they got out of the clouds, kind of what

243
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 1>their expectations were as opposed to what they came away.

244
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 3>With it is.

245
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It's my favorite day because it's just so fun to

246
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>hear what they got out of it and just how

247
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 1>their perceptions were different from the beginning of this you

248
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>know program to when they graduated. So it's it's one

249
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 1>of my absolute favorite programs. The chamber does well.

250
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like it. I mean, each and every one

251
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 3>of you does sound like you know that was probably

252
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 3>just a really cool experience. Was that you probably can't duplicate.

253
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, I know I was thinking on the way

254
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 2>in that I can. I vividly remember having almost an

255
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>argument with my one of my board members, John Holden, John,

256
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I love you John. He was like, you have to

257
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 2>do this, and I said, no, give me a year,

258
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and he said, no, you're doing it. And I have

259
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>told him repeatedly thank you for for basically putting your

260
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>foot down doing its.

261
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Kicking in the back pockets, pushing me out the door

262
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.279
<v Speaker 3>pretty much.

263
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>But it was truly truly an eye opening experience and

264
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. I thought it was a great, great year,

265
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>and it went by way too quick.

266
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 3>LG. You know, you work with the city, and like

267
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 3>you said, you thought you knew you also were a reporter.

268
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 3>And I know how because I've been doing this for

269
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 3>fifty years.

270
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, every day.

271
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Something just jumped out, you said, I did that? Is

272
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 3>that the kind of feeling you had there, oh absolutely.

273
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, working at the newspaper, you read a lot

274
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 4>about these nonprofits, about their different events, about the people

275
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 4>that were involved. You know, you even read about Leadership

276
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Bartlesville and all the things that the people involved with

277
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 4>Leadership Bartlesville were doing. But just being part of the program,

278
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, some of those behind the scenes tours can't

279
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 4>be replicated. You know, we got to tour the Phillips

280
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 4>Research Center, we got to go out to the Walmart

281
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 4>distribution center. The nonprofits. You just you can't replicate that.

282
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>The jail, yeah, don't replicate that too much.

283
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Visiting the very last group to go through the Phillips

284
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, Jenny, Jenny opened it up just for us

285
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to go through. And that was kind of a and you.

286
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Got to go up years of bludge and.

287
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Here there behind the story again, where do we sign

288
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 3>up bartlesviild dot com.

289
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 1>It's a chamber website. This is a Chamber of Commerce program.

290
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, there's a little circle icons on

291
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that homepage and one of them's Leadership Bartlesviildt gives you

292
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:18.200
