On this episode I chatted with Rico Smith founder of 46th State Candle Company. Rico is born and raised in OKC. He developed a love of politics from a young age and set his heart on that profession, to make a change in the world. Rico studied at OCCC before transferring into OU. Graduated with a Political Science degree and then packed his bags for GW in Washington. Rico developed his interest in candles after needing to make his apartment his own. He had his Oklahoma set work hung on the walls but nothing really smelled like home. So in his spare time he developed fragrances, researched towns, festivals and all the great things that make the small towns in Oklahoma so great. Like to Watermelons in Rush Springs. "Watermelon capitol of the world!" After a few more years of work and studying Rico decided to return to Oklahoma and launch 46th State Candle Company on statehood day in 2019.
