Our guest this week on the West of Tulsa Show is Peter Kappen, owner of Visualize Ventura, a fine art studio just down the street from our studio. Peter takes us behind the lens to show us how he takes stunning photos and video of the best and most beautiful automobiles in the world. He describes how he went from UCLA to working for Apple and finally starting his own business. He also explains how he found the world's rarest Volkswagen, a race car called the "Inch Pincher." We hope you enjoy this fun episode and please subscribe to our channel. Thank you for your support.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
