Zack Davis — OKC realtor, investor, and host of the Keep Going Podcast — is a direct descendant of Quanah Parker. He shares the story of his first Comanche gourd dance, two years after losing his grandfather, and the $300-paycheck low point that nearly ended his real estate career before it started.

What this conversation explores:
- Growing up in Del City and Moore with a single mom and "a lot of alone time"
- Basketball as first identity and first community
- Comanche and Caddo heritage, and descent from Quanah Parker
- His first gourd dance — the eagle wing, the elders, his grandfather's medicine
- The garage moment: $300 every two weeks and best friends who said keep going
- People-over-money selling, calmness, and getting 1% better
