The Eric Thompson Show Launches a New Local BA Business Series

Behind every storefront in Broken Arrow is a story worth telling. It might be the family restaurant that started with a borrowed recipe and a second mortgage, or the contractor who built a company one handshake at a time. It might be the nonprofit leader, the startup founder, or the third-generation shop owner keeping Main Street alive.

Those stories are the heartbeat of this city, and now they’re getting the stage they deserve.

Host Eric Thompson is expanding The Eric Thompson Show with an exciting new series dedicated entirely to Broken Arrow’s businesses, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and movers and shakers.

Several times each month, Thompson will sit down with a local guest for an in-depth 20- to 40-minute interview, and every episode will be shared with roughly 75,000 residents through HyperLocal Loop.

More Than a Sound Bite

Most local businesses never get more than a 30-second ad or a line in a directory to explain who they are. This series is different.

Twenty to forty minutes is real airtime. It’s enough to tell the whole story: how the business started, the challenges that nearly ended it, the people who make it work, and why it matters to the community.

It’s the kind of conversation that turns a name on a sign into a neighbor people know, trust and want to support.

For business owners, that’s a rare opportunity. Customers today want to know who they’re buying from, and this series lets them meet the people behind Broken Arrow’s businesses face to face.

A Host Who Speaks Business Owner

Thompson isn’t a reporter looking in from the outside. He has spent years in the same trenches as his guests: running small businesses, launching entrepreneurial ventures and working in local sales, where he sat across the table from countless owners working to grow their companies.

He knows what it takes to make payroll, win customers and push through the hard seasons.

That experience makes for better conversations. Guests can expect a host who asks the questions that matter, draws out the stories behind the success, and lets each business shine in its own voice.

“I adopted Broken Arrow as my hometown, and it adopted me right back. Every time I walk into a local shop or restaurant here, there’s someone behind the counter with a story that deserves to be heard. This series is my way of giving back to the community I love and helping the businesses that make it great get the recognition they’ve earned.”
