Chasing the dream!

Texas stories deserve to be told by people who care about the people who live there.

Gone to Texas isn’t just another podcast. It’s one of the top five business shows in the state for a reason. We shine a light on the men and women building real prosperity in real Texas communities.

In 2026, we’re taking that mission statewide with the Texas 12 campaign. Twelve regions. Dozens of towns. Hundreds of business stories. All told on the road, boots on the ground, across this great state.

If you’re an economic developer or a business leader, this is your chance to get your community in the spotlight. Your entrepreneurs. Your manufacturers. Your homegrown success stories.

If you want the world to see what makes your corner of Texas special, don’t sit on the sidelines and hope someone notices. Step up and get involved.

We’re filling the calendar now. When the door opens, walk through it. When the spotlight circles your community, don’t duck, stand tall.

If you want to partner with us and sponsor this storytelling adventure let’s connect. I’ll make it worth it. That’s a Super Dave promise.

Make it a great day, my friends.

“No property, no project.”

That’s the real-world truth David Fowler has lived by for 10 years as Executive Director of Fairfield Economic Development Corporation.

In this new episode of Origin Stories with Super Dave Quinn, David shares how his background in real estate, his deep roots in Freestone County, and his heart for service have shaped his approach to economic development in small-town Texas.

He didn’t plan on this career—he just saw a gap and stepped in to help.

This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone working in economic or community development—especially in rural or underserved communities.
