  • 2026 Oklahoma Attorney General Candidate, Nick Coffey Ep. 225
    Apr 18 2026

    This week we welcome another candidate, this one running for Oklahoma Attorney General in Episode 225 of The Hidden Workforce!


    Welcome Candidate, Nick Coffey!


    Nick shares with us about why he is running for office, his experiences that have shaped him to run for office such as being a former Federal Prosecutor under both President Trump’s 1st administration as well as former President Biden’s administration, and with a couple questions inspired by the Developmental Disability Council of Oklahoma’s candidate questionnaire, we explore specifically how AG Candidate Coffey would address helping and serving Oklahomans who live with disabilities through the office of the Attorney General.

  • The Dragon Brew Crew of Purcell High School's SPED Transition Program- Exciting Growth and Updates, Ep. 223
    Apr 4 2026

    This week’s show is sure to give you a jolt of energy and joy on episode 223 of The Hidden Workforce!


    We’re welcoming back our friends, Mrs. Jenny Allen-Price and her Dragon Brew Crew to The Hidden Workforce! 🐉☕️


    Dragon Brew is a student-led start-up business made possible through a generous grant from the Purcell Public Schools Foundation. This is part of their Transitions program led by Mrs. Jenny Allen-Price. Students learn valuable leadership skills as they learn the ins and outs of running a business and provide delicious coffee, breakfast items, and treats. What a great learning opportunity for their students!


    Their program has grown substantially since we last heard from them, so this week they dish the updates along with some exciting new projects they are working on to expand their work out into their community!


    So grab your coffee and tune in this weekend- you don’t want to miss this show!
