A Letter to the Gentleman Who Builds for Tomorrow
"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit." This ancient Greek proverb holds a powerful truth— greatness is born not from what we take, but from what we give forward.
In today’s world, being a gentleman means more than dressing well or speaking politely. It means investing in something bigger than ourselves. It’s raising the standard—not just for today, but for the generations that will follow.
Every act of mentorship, every business built with integrity, every hour volunteered, every young life you pour into—is a seed planted. You may not always see the fruit, but the shade will stretch long after you're gone.
As gentlemen, we are called to lead with quiet strength and unwavering purpose. We build stronger communities not through grand gestures, but through consistent character. The way we treat others, the values we uphold, the way we show up—these are the blueprints we leave behind.
So, to the modern gentleman: never underestimate the power of the seeds you plant today. Whether it's time, wisdom, or kindness—your investment is shaping a future your children and their children will one day inherit.
The greatest legacy is not wealth, but wisdom. Not applause, but impact. Not what we build for ourselves—but what we build for others.
Sincerely,
CORBIN ZALDIVAR, ACCOUNT MANAGER @TULSACITYLIFESTYLE

BARONS' LEGACY
Barons on 1st: Where Tulsa History Meets Glamour
BY
Barons on 1st is more than just a restaurant—it’s a tribute to Tulsa’s rich and rugged past, inspired by the legendary Phillips brothers, Waite and Frank. From Waite’s iconic Art Deco influence on downtown to Frank’s untamed Woolaroc ranch, Barons brings both elegance and grit to the table in perfect harmony.
The concept was born from a striking black-andwhite photo of the brothers at Woolaroc—wearing cowboy hats and business suits with effortless charm. That image became the soul of Barons: refined yet grounded. Inside, you’ll find shimmering Art Deco finishes alongside warm Western elements. A mounted buffalo head echoes the one that once presided over Waite’s office, while nods to Frank’s favorite horse, Babe, are thoughtfully woven throughout the space.
CONTINUED >
During renovations, a slice of history revealed itself. Behind a brick wall, old horseshoes and corncob pipes were uncovered. Curious, Barons reached out to the Tulsa Historical Society and learned the building had quite a past: originally a laundromat called “The Right Way” in 1906, later a farrier’s shop, then a feed store. As a tribute, the bar was designed to curve like a horseshoe—connecting the two dining rooms where the brick wall once stood.
Executive Chef Justin Donaldson has been with Barons since the beginning. Years before the restaurant opened, he was offered a position at the world-renowned French Laundry. Though he declined, fate brought him to helm the kitchen of a French-inspired restaurant—ironically, in a former laundry. His influence runs deep, shaping both the menu and the heart of Barons. From house-made pastas to perfectly seared steaks, every dish is prepared with intention, care, and a creative nod to the past.
The design was brought to life by Danielle Palm and Roxanne Chandler of ROSEROCK918, who translated the vision into a stunning, cohesive space. Every corner reflects intention—from a hand-painted mural inspired by the European architecture of
“The concept was born from a striking photo of the Phillips brothers at Woolaroc— cowboy hats, business suits, and effortless charm. That image set the tone for Barons: a space that’s refined yet grounded, where Tulsa’s elegance meets its rugged roots.”
Philbrook, to the playful neon signs and cheeky monkey wallpaper in the women’s room. The men’s room carries its own charm, with vintage ranch-style touches that echo Frank’s frontier spirit.
And of course, there's the antler chandelier—a whimsical nod to Frank’s wry humor after losing his investment in the Waldorf Astoria. “All I got to keep were those chandeliers,” he once quipped, “the most expensive in the world.”
Barons on 1st isn’t just a place to dine—it’s a journey through Tulsa’s story, told through inspired flavors, timeless design, and the vision of those who continue to shape its legacy.
THE HIDDEN COST of Hustle
WHY BALANCE IS MORE THAN A BUZZWORD
ARTICLE BY DR. RENAE MAYER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KACEY GILPIN
“More” has become a moving target— entirely subjective, and nearly as difficult to define as it is to achieve. Meanwhile, men often believe exhaustion signals commitment, and that caring for one’s well-being is indulgent, lazy, or even selfish. In too many circles, fatigue and burnout are worn like badges of honor.
But this mindset is not just outdated— it is dangerous. Health depends on the cooperation of body, mind, and spirit; when one system falls out of sync, the others inevitably follow. Though damage may build slowly, chronic stress, illness, physical pain, and strained relationships are inevitable when personal health is pushed to the margins.
Mental health often flags imbalance first. A 2017 study in the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health found that long hours significantly increase the risk of anxiety and depression. Burnout and emotional exhaustion don’t just drain energy—they make it difficult to show up with clarity, intention, or presence, whether at work, home, or within your own thoughts.
The physical toll is just as serious. A 2021 joint report by the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization found that working more than 55 hours per week raises the risk of stroke by 35 percent and heart disease by 17 percent. Chronic stress quietly distorts priorities, strains the body, and narrows the path back to health. While “balance” may look different for everyone, it always begins with awareness and intention. Whatever you think, feel, want, battle, or cherish— your health depends on whether you prioritize what truly matters or only what feels urgent.
For this Men’s Issue, I spoke with three Tulsa-area professionals to explore how they define and maintain balance in their lives.
Andrew Forrest, Senior Pastor at Asbury ChurchTulsa, knows these challenges well and says:
down and resentful, but when I’m doing those things, I have the energy and joy I need to share with the people around me."
When Dr. Gregory Hill, Cardiologist at St. Francis - Tulsa, Cardiologist at St. Francis - Tulsa. When Dr. Hill reflects on balance, he recalls the principle of homeostasis—the body’s ability to work toward stability amid changes and transitions. A 60–80 hour workweek is not unusual for him. He relies heavily on early morning Bible reading to prepare for the day’s demands. Medical mission trips with Collective Compassion help him reconnect with his deeper sense of purpose.
“The hustle may build a career, but balance builds a life.”
"Rather than balance, I tend to think of energy— do I have the appropriate energy for this area of my life? For me, there are warning signs when things aren’t right: when I don’t look forward to what’s on my calendar, when I wake up just as tired as when I went to bed, or when I am resentful of the people who need things from me. To avoid burnout, it’s important that I maintain healthy habits: I need to get up early and pray, work out every day, and have space in my calendar—an open afternoon, an evening at home, or a full day without commitments. When I neglect those practices, I find myself run
“There’s not a day I’m not grateful to be on the right end of the stethoscope,” he says. Dan Simoni, Partner at Price Waterhouse Coopers – Tulsa, once viewed balance as a luxury—until stress-related medical symptoms forced a reckoning. Over time, he learned to stop compartmentalizing life and began treating his personal, professional, and relational selves as one integrated identity.
“When I realized I’m not defined by my job alone, or my family alone, but all of it together, my quality of life improved in every way,” he explains. Today, he blocks 90 minutes daily for exercise, meditation, and dedicated family time. He encourages others to “treat yourself like your most important client.”
The hustle may build a career, but balance builds a life—one where purpose, presence, and peace can thrive.

BROTHERHOOD. PURPOSE. HEALING. MORE THAN RECOVERY.
SANGHA, MEANING "COMMUNITY" IN SANSKRIT, IS MORE THAN A SOBER HOME; IT'S A RECOVERY COMMUNITY BUILT ON CONNECTION, PURPOSE, AND SUPPORT FOR MEN STARTING OVER.
Sangha is a nonprofit men’s recovery community in Tulsa, founded in 2018 by native Tulsan Marcus Abernathy. We serve men transitioning from treatment or alternative sentencing by providing a holistic, structured environment. Unlike most programs, we never charge for room and board. Thanks to the support of donors and foundations, we’re able to offer expert staff, team-building experiences, and personalized life skills training. At Sangha, recovery means more than just abstaining from substance use—it’s about discovering your purpose, reconnecting with your community, and becoming the man you were meant to be.
“Because of Sangha, I didn’t just recover— I rediscovered who I am, and I finally believe I have something to offer the world.” Jonathan, Sangha alum
How does Sangha support men in recovery? Sangha is a recovery community that treats the whole person—not just the addiction. Our approach is rooted in the Eight Dimensions of Wellness: mental, physical, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, financial, and occupational. What sets us apart? We’re a nonprofit. Thanks to local foundations, ODMHSAS, and private donors, our residents never pay room and board. That means every man has access to a safe, structured home, professional guidance, and opportunities for personal growth—regardless of his financial situation.
What kind of leadership and guidance do residents receive at Sangha? Each house is led by senior residents who model strong recovery and peer leadership. Our expert staff walks alongside our men, helping them develop the skills, discipline, and confidence to thrive outside of addiction.
What kinds of resources and opportunities does Sangha provide to support recovery? Through career support, gym access, team-building outings, and community service, we help men rebuild their lives from the inside out.
Recovery at Sangha isn’t about just getting by—it’s about building a life worth living.
SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY
DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA
Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series, “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.” Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether its the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life.
So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime.
Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estateland, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot river. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed green “o hauses” that invite the outside world in.

WHAT TO DO
To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trails rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape—and bear witness to mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.

WHERE TO STAY
Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-squarefeet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fire places and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent—ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).
For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.
Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-of-theart accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-emfrom-the-sky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.
DRINK & DINE
Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.
HOW TO GET HERE
Airport: Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) Airport transfers from Missoula are complimentary for guests and all luxury home and Green O accommodations come with a Lexus luxury SUV for transportation use on property.
