Bianca Davis & Bill Wallace, New Friends New Life | The Jeff Crilley Show
By now, thanks to all the publicity, most people know that human trafficking is not just something that happens in some third-world nation. It's happening right here in our backyard.

Travis Springer, President of Sagiss | The Jeff Crilley Show
This happens in the life of almost every company in America. They're growing. They've got an IT guy. They keep getting bigger, and then they have a discussion like, "You know, how do we scale this thing?" Sometimes you bring in a freelance IT guy—it saves you a bunch of money. You don't have to hire a new employee. To talk about that today, we've got Travis Springer. He's the president of Sagiss.

Leisa Hart, Media Personality & Fitness Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show
A little backstory: when I worked for Fox 4 in the 90s and early 2000s, I would run into Leisa Hart in the hallway because she was always on the morning show doing some fitness routine. We didn't really get to know each other until maybe a year or so ago when she came on my show for the first time, but she hid something from me and hid something from you a year ago. She's going to reveal that secret today. Welcome to the show media personality and fitness expert Leisa Hart.

Dr. Scott Peck, Executive Director of the Museum of Biblical Art | The Jeff Crilley Show
The Museum of Biblical Art has been around in some form or fashion since the 1960s, so it has to be one of the oldest museums in Dallas. However, there are many Dallas locals who have never visited the museum. Joining us now is the Executive Director, Dr. Scott Peck.

Brennon Dunbar, OpTPay Partners | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think I speak for millions of small business owners across the country when I say I have no clue what we pay in credit card processing fees, and I know we do over $100,000 in credit cards every single month. So, it would probably pay for me to investigate that, wouldn't you say? That's the money in the couch cushions that everybody forgets about. To talk about that today is Brennon Dunbar from OpTPay Partners.

Jordan Burk, Creator of Kelly and Kelso & Kelly and Friends | The Jeff Crilley Show

Rolando Diaz, Internationally Acclaimed Artist | The Jeff Crilley Show
I met Internationally Acclaimed Artist, Rolando Diaz, about five years ago. He came on my show to promote an upcoming event, and he blew me away. So, when his publicist, Emily Stern, came to me and said, “Hey, he's got another big event.” I said, “Absolutely, he has to come back to the show.”
Wed, April 23, 2025
Elisa Ellis, Author and Wardrobe Stylist | The Jeff Crilley Show
I definitely married up. I’m lucky to be married to the amazing Victoria Snee from Highland Park Village. She’s a stylist, which means she’s always dressing me up like her own personal Ken doll. So if you’ve ever complimented my outfit, the credit goes to Victoria. But not everyone is married to a stylist, and that’s exactly why I brought in my next guest. Elisa Ellis is in the studio. She’s a wardrobe stylist, an author, and a good friend of mine.
Wed, April 23, 2025
Alain Espinosa, Cyber Security Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show

Zion Meer, Owner of Fort Worth Picklr | The Jeff Crilley Show
We are proud members of the Gleneagles Country Club, and pickleball has become an absolute phenomenon. Half of the tennis players are now moving to pickleball, and so I'm curious about it. I've never actually picked up a racket and started to play, but I'm a fan of the idea that a sport can come out of nowhere and suddenly become the most popular sport in America. To talk about that today is Zion Meer, the Fort Worth & Hurst Picklr owner.

Ben Duelley, Author of God Was Always Speaking, I Just Wasn't Listening | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a big believer. My father, uncle, and brother were all ministers, and I think God is always talking to us. But let's be honest. How many times are we listening? God gives us signs even if he's not putting burning bushes in front of us. It's not Noah being told to build an ark, but little signs every single day. Sometimes we call it coincidence. God is always talking to us, and my next guest is also a big believer: Ben Duelley, the author of God Was Always Speaking, I Just Wasn't Listening.
Tue, April 22, 2025
Capt. Randy Norfleet, Survivor of the OKC Bombing | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am a proud sponsor of Success North Dallas, and for three decades, they welcome incredible speakers every third Wednesday of the month. I was absolutely blown away by the speaker I heard this morning; he literally had me in tears. Therefore, I had to invite him to the studio to celebrate his life and journey. Captain Randy Norfleet is here to share a very painful story.
Mon, April 21, 2025
Kimberly "Kimmy" Vermillion Wright, Equity Partner, Attorney, and Mediator for Atwood & McCall | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm sure you've heard the statistics: half of all marriages end in divorce. When you're picking a divorce attorney, there are those attorneys that want to take you to war and rack up the legal bill, and there's other attorneys, like my next guest, who really want to make sure that everybody is taken care of without harm to the children. Kimmy Vermillion Wright is in the studio, and she's with Atwood & McCall.
Mon, April 21, 2025
Kendall Scudder, Texas Democratic Chairman | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I think about the heyday of the Democratic Party in Texas, I think about the LBJ and Ann Richards years. However, in a largely conservative state, the Democratic Party has faced a couple challenging decades. Kendall Scudder, Texas Democratic Chairman, is in the studio today to discuss the ways he is working to change that narrative.
Mon, April 21, 2025
Veronica Law, Candidate for Tarrant County College Board of Trustees | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've never been called to run for elected office, but I very much respect the people who do because it's often a thankless job. You're giving up countless hours dedicated to community service, and that describes my next guest, Veronica Law . She is a candidate for Tarrant County College Board of Trustees.
Thu, April 17, 2025
Amber Gaige, Far Beyond Marketing | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm obviously a marketing person, so I'm attracted to people who know this business better than I do. This describes my next guest. Amber Gaige is in the studio, and she's with Far Beyond Marketing.
Wed, April 16, 2025
Harold Heard, CEO of Stone ARX| The Jeff Crilley Show
If you think about real estate transactions in this country, even in a perfect world, you're looking at a six-month to 18-month process. It's not efficient, but it's the way it's always been done. However, every once in a while, somebody revolutionizes an industry. For example, Hotels.com was disrupted by Airbnb, and taxi cabs were disrupted by Uber. Harold Heard, CEO of Stone ARX, has had to disrupt the way real estate transactions are being done, and he's in the studio today.
Wed, April 16, 2025
Elijah De La Garza, Anna Venko, & Lyza Faye, Runway 817 | The Jeff Crilley Show
Those of you who know me know I married up. The great Victoria Snee, head of marketing for Highland Park Village, is a fashionista. She always is the emcee of these fabulous galas, and I come along as her plus one. I probably couldn't tell you a Gucci from a Prada to be honest with you, but I admire fashion. I think Dallas has become a Mecca for fashion, and now Fort Worth is coming along in blazing speed thanks to the three people in my studio right now: Anna Venko, Elijah De La Garza, and Lyza Faye. They're the three driving forces behind Runway 817.

Tony Machi & Jermichael Finley, ElevaTE U | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I think about youth sports, I think about the discipline, the stick-to-it-iveness, and the overcoming adversity that a child learns. Of course, they're getting in shape and exercising, but it's the off the field stuff that matters because many of them will not go on to an athletic career. They have to learn the discipline that it takes to be a champion in life, and two people are in the studio right now who share that belief: Tony Machi and Jermichael Finley.
Fri, April 11, 2025
Radu Jon, The Violin Guy | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love how one artist can totally transform an event—whether it’s a convention, conference, or wedding. Sometimes all it takes is one incredible DJ or performer to lift the energy of the entire crowd. That’s exactly who my next guest is. Radu Jon, The Violin Guy , is back in the studio!
Fri, April 11, 2025
Dr. Gavin Wolff, Chiropractor at Diamond Health | The Jeff Crilley Show
I’ve always admired people in the field of chiropractic medicine because it’s different from traditional medicine. It’s not like the MDs you typically see—they focus more on the mind, body, and spirit. I know far too many physicians who are quick to write a prescription. But my next guest got into this field because he truly cares about people. Dr. Gavin Wolff is in the studio. He’s a chiropractor with Diamond Health.
Fri, April 11, 2025
Erin Botsford, CFP, Founder of The Advisor Authority™ | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think most of us are like this: we’re climbing some little hill or mountain. We get to the very top, look around, and say, 'Is this all there is?' That perfectly describes my next guest. She’s been wildly successful in financial services—Erin Botsford is in the studio. She’s the founder of The Advisor Authority™.
Fri, April 11, 2025
Mark Hess and Sally Savino, Texas Jazz Cats | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you talk to a jazz aficionado, jazz never goes out of style. You think about the golden age of the Frank Sinatra's. Then there are groups like the two people who are in my studio right now, the Texas Jazz Cats. They are keeping jazz alive and well right here in DFW - Sally Savino and Mark Hess.
Thu, April 10, 2025
Heather Lisle, Founder of The Leadership Lab | The Jeff Crilley Show
I would submit to you that we have a leadership crisis in this country, in corporate America. Study after study shows that people don't quit companies - they quit bad bosses. To talk about that today is Heather Lisle, founder of The Leadership Lab.
Thu, April 10, 2025
Arnulfo “Trey” Sánchez III, Owner & Pitmaster Vaqueros Texas BBQ | The Jeff Crilley Show
Sometimes when I'm out with friends at a dinner party, I'll play a game. I'll say, "If God whispered in your ear and said, 'You've got one last meal on this planet, and then I'm taking you home,' where would you go? What would you eat?" My answer has always been barbecue. And I have a feeling my next guest might just convince me that his location is where I'd want to have that final meal. Trey Sanchez is in the studio—he's the owner and pitmaster of Vaqueros Texas BBQ.
Thu, April 10, 2025
Alan Topchik, Host of the Angry Alan Show | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember in the late 90's at Fox Four, I did a very popular recurring segment called Drives Me Crazy . It was all about things that made you lose your mind. For example, waiting too long in a Starbucks or the cop that pulls you over for going just three miles over the speed limit. We would ask viewers to submit things that drive them crazy. Then, we'd follow up. It was a wildly popular segment. So, my next guest will explore all of that in a brand new podcast, launching soon on this network. Alan Topchik is in the studio; he's the host of The Angry Alan Show.

Eric Topchik, Owner of Galaxy Golf Cars | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you truly wanna ride in style, have you considered upgrading from a golf cart to a golf car? Luxury golf cars aren’t just for the course anymore—they are taking over neighborhoods everywhere.

Don’t miss their grand opening celebration on April 26th in Plano, featuring family-friendly fun, giveaways, test drives, and more! To learn more, visit GalaxyGolfCars.com.
Wed, April 09, 2025
Susan Semmelmann, Semmelmann Interiors | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always been fascinated with people who have the excellence gene, and I think the late, great Martin Luther King, Jr., said, "If you are a street sweeper, be the best street sweeper on the planet so that all the angels in heaven bow down and say, 'There goes a great street sweeper.'" My next guest is a rock star in the world of interior design. Susan Semmelmann is in the studio.
Tue, April 08, 2025
Jared Lilje, Founder of J.Christoph | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, April 08, 2025
DeeAnne Meece, Artistic Director of Spectacular Follies | The Jeff Crilley Show
Very early on in my PR career, I got asked to do public relations for the Spectacular Follies, and I didn't know what to expect. However, I was blown away at the talent of these amazing people, and that's why when a couple of friends came to me and said, "You absolutely have to have the artistic director for the Spectacular Follies on your show", I said, "I can't wait!" DeeAnne Meece joins me in studio right now.
Mon, April 07, 2025
Jennifer Clark, Chris Clark, and Richard Chamberlain, Côtes du Coeur Gala | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think DFW is home to all kinds of galas. It seems like every single weekend there is another spectacular gala, but one that I'm particularly passionate about is Côtes du Coeur. They've been doing this for decades, and three of the driving forces behind this year's event are in the studio. Chris and Jennifer Clark are co-chairs this year, and then we have the great Richard Chamberlain, who is a legendary restaurateur. All three of them have a personal reason for getting behind this.
Mon, April 07, 2025
Dan LaBroad, President and CEO of Ovation Health and Life Services, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you're a boss, listen up because I own this company, and I am frustrated by healthcare in general. It's not a passion for me, and so when it comes in, there are all these different plans that don't make sense to me. So to demystify all of this, my good friend Dan LaBroad is in the studio. He's the president and CEO of Ovation Health and Life Services.
Fri, April 04, 2025
Karen Green, Founder of Haven of Love | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love people with tenacity and stick-to-itiveness. You might call it old-fashioned grit. All of us have pain in life, but some of us wallow in the pain while others turn pain into purpose. That perfectly describes my next guest. Karen Green is in the studio. She's the founder of The Haven of Love.
Fri, April 04, 2025
Beth Wilbins and James Faust, Dallas International Film Festival | The Jeff Crilley Show
There are many film festivals around the planet, but one that is making a lot of noise is the Dallas International Film Festival. They are truly on the map.

Nancy Gail Daniels, Chief Operating Officer for Hyosung Americas | The Jeff Crilley Show

To talk about how their impact and who these tariffs are affecting, Nancy Gail Daniels, the Chief Operating Officer for Hyosung Americas, joins me in studio.
Thu, April 03, 2025
Amber Sams, Blo Blow Dry Bar of Argyle/Denton | The Jeff Crilley Show
If anybody's seen my wife Victoria Snee, you know I married up, and from time to time when she's going to a gala or something like that, she'll say, "I'm going to go to a blow dry bar." That's how I was introduced to the concept. It just so happens that Zach Sams is a very popular podcaster on our network, and his beautiful wife is in the studio right now because she's opening a concept that's actually been around for quite some time but is new to Argyle. Amber Sams is in the studio. She's with Blo Blow Dry Bar.
Wed, April 02, 2025
Bert Vergez, CEO of IDRINQ USA | The Jeff Crilley Show
As a former news reporter, I've done countless stories on the energy drink industry and the knock on the industry is that there's a lot of bad stuff in those drinks. Not only can it tear up your stomach, but often you get this high or you get too much sugar followed by a big crash. Somebody who's out to disrupt this industry is my next guest. Bert Vergez is in the studio. He's the CEO of IDRINQ USA.
Wed, April 02, 2025
Dr. Shabana Parvez, CEO of Arlington Integrative Medical Center | The Jeff Crilley Show
If there's a knock on medicine in America, it's that doctors are too busy to actually spend time with their patients. The average time that you have with most family physicians is approximately seven minutes. It doesn't give you enough time to really get to the bottom of a problem, and so often many doctors are so busy that they turn to the prescription pad and start writing prescriptions. I think that's a bad way to do business. You actually need to know the root cause of what's ailing your patient. To talk about that today is my new friend, Dr. Shabana Parvez. She is a CEO of Arlington Integrative Medical Center. She's also the president of the Arlington Highlands Rotary.
Tue, April 01, 2025
Betsy Jones and Damien Fortune | The Jeff Crilley Show
So, as we're doing this taping all over the news is what's happening in Washington on what was supposed to be a secure app (Signal). But now, there's fear that government secrets are being leaked. That's why I invited my next two guests into the studio: Betsy Jones, with the Critical Infrastructure Security Consortium, and Damien Fortune, who has been on our show before. He's with SENTRIQS.
Tue, April 01, 2025
Bliss Coulter, President & CEO Women's Business Council - Southwest | The Jeff Crilley Show
There are some huge government and corporate contracts that have to be designated for women-owned businesses. So if you're a female business owner and you're watching this, be ready to take some notes. I am honored to have in the studio, Bliss Coulter. She is the president and CEO of the Women's Business Council Southwest.
Mon, March 31, 2025
Dr. Donna Ashmore, Jim Blythe, & Capt. Patrick McCully, First Responder & Veteran Wellness | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've often said on this show that we had the pandemic, and then I think we've had a mental health pandemic. I think most companies are progressive enough that an employee can raise their hand and say, "Boss, I'm having troubles." But what happens if you're a police officer or firefighter? You are a paramedic or you're working in our armed forces or even a veteran. Do you feel permission to raise your hand and tell the boss, "I think I need some help." That's why I assembled this all-star panel: Dr. Donna Ashmore, the founder of Symbiosis Integrative Health, Capt. Patrick McCully, with the wellness unit from the Garland Police Department, and Jim Blythe, the host of a very popular show on our network, the Veterans Impact Show. I like to call him the Walter Cronkite of Veterans.
Fri, March 28, 2025
Dr. Sydney Smith Hicks & Dr. Cynthia Mickens Ross, IWF Dallas | The Jeff Crilley Show
One of the reasons I love DFW is that it's home to a lot of networking groups, but I've seen networking groups come and go. They die for a lack of interest, membership drifts away, and of course, during Covid, a lot of these networking groups had trouble because they couldn't meet in person. One group that has survived all of this is in the studio right now. Two of the driving forces behind IWF Dallas: Dr. Sydney Smith Hicks, the co-founder, and Dr. Cynthia Mickens Ross, the president.
Thu, March 27, 2025
Terriekka Cardenas, CEO of Perceptive Engineering and Construction Services | The Jeff Crilley Show
We've been hearing this for generations - there aren't enough young ladies getting into STEM. That's science, technology, engineering, and math. My next guest I found through our partnership with the Dallas Business Journal. She was featured in a section called People on the Move. Terriekka Cardenas is in the studio. She's the CEO of Perceptive Engineering and Construction Services.
Wed, March 26, 2025
Maria Coello, Founder and CEO of MyClick Insurance | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love disruptors on this show. I mean, if you think about it, the taxi cab industry had been done the same way for generations, and then along comes Uber. The hotel industry has been disrupted by Airbnb. Well, somebody had to come along and disrupt the car insurance industry since it's been done the same way for generations. That describes my next guest. Maria Coello is in the studio. She is with MyClick Insurance.
Wed, March 26, 2025
Jeff Shoemake, President of Electricity Helper | The Jeff Crilley Show
I don't know about you, but I don't shop around. When it comes to electric or gas, I just pay the bill, and I'm probably wrong for doing that because when you talk to energy brokers, they can often get you a much better deal. I have in studio right now Jeff Shoemake, the president of Electricity Helper.
Tue, March 25, 2025
Trey Cobb, Owner of Kirkwood & Darby | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you are a homeowner, I don't know if you've ever fought your appraisal, but these appraisals are often way too high. You can actually save a lot of money on your tax bill if you hire a tax consultant, but I bet a lot of business owners aren't aware that they can also fight the tax bill when it comes to their property or commercial property. That's why I invited on my next guest, Trey Cobb. He's the owner of Kirkwood & Darby.
Tue, March 25, 2025
Kellye Kamp, Founder of SourceKamp - A.I. For All | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember playing around with ChatGPT about two years ago and just being blown away at this technology, and everybody was saying that it's gonna change the world. It is changing the world. I can't think of an industry that has not been affected by AI, and when you're making phone calls these days and get those robots, you know you're talking to a computer. But many companies are not understanding how to adapt to the world of AI, and that's when they bring in someone like my next guest. Kellye Kamp is in the studio, and she's the founder of SourceKamp - A.I. For All.
Tue, March 25, 2025
Joshua Hillery, Hillery's Photography | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have always valued and been impressed with videographers and photographers, especially in those high-intensity moments of photography like weddings. Think about the pressure that's on you as a videographer or a photographer to catch just the right moment, but there's moments happening all over the place. That's why I invited my next guest on the show: Joshua Hillery. He's with Hillery's Photography.
Mon, March 24, 2025
Lance Thrailkill, All Metals Fabricating | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love entrepreneurs, and I love people who revolutionize companies and industries. That describes my next guest in the studio, Lance Thrailkill. He is the CEO of All Metals Fabricating, and he's the co-founder of Printed Technologies.
Fri, March 21, 2025
Jason Napolitan & Daniella Giglio, Hosts of Curious: A Conversation | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think you'll agree with me. There was the pandemic, and then there was the stress pandemic that followed it. I think it just gets increasingly worse year after year as we get overcommitted. We're even overcommitting our children and subjecting them to stress.That's why I invited my next couple on to the show: Jason Napolitan and Daniella Giglio. They are the co-hosts of a brand new podcast on this network called Curious: A Conversation.
Fri, March 21, 2025
Ricky Dickson, Author of One Scoop at a Time | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm so excited about this show because I met this gentleman one week ago. He was leaving our studios after being on another show, and I just happened to meet him. Had I been a minute late, I would have missed him, and I said, "Well, did you have a good experience?" He said, "Yes," and he showed me his book, One Scoop at a Time. He is the former CEO of Bluebell Ice Cream, and we had a little chat in the hallway and I said, "The next time you're in Dallas, you have to come on my show!" So Ricky Dickson is in the studio.
Thu, March 20, 2025
Tim Conkle, Founder & CEO of The 20 | The Jeff Crilley Show
Every once in a while you meet that person who enters a room and the room completely changes, and that describes my next guest. I've known him for seven years. We're in a forum together in EO, the Entrepreneurs' Organization, and he's always the life of the party. He's never at a loss for words. He's my friend, and he's one of the most successful people I've ever met. The great Tim Conkle is in the studio. He's the founder and CEO of The 20.
Thu, March 20, 2025
Dr. Bradley McDaniels, Assistant Professor at UNT Department of Rehabilitation and Health Services | The Jeff Crilley Show
The final frontier for medical research is the brain, and we're learning more about Alzheimer's. We're learning more about dementia. We're also learning a lot more about Parkinson's, and that's why I invited my next guest into the studio and turned the studio green for him: Doctor Bradley McDaniels. He's an assistant professor at UNT in the Department of Rehabilitation and Health Services.
Wed, March 19, 2025
Tori Kruse, Red Carpet Media Personality, Entrepreneur, Stylist, & Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, March 18, 2025
Veena Somareddy, Neuro Rehab VR | The Jeff Crilley Show
We have probably all known somebody, or maybe you yourself have gone through physical rehab. You had an accident and then had surgery where you needed rehab afterwards. Well, there's a game-changing technology company that has just been honored by our media partner the Dallas Business Journal, and you're going to meet the founder. She's the CEO of Neuro Rehab VR, Veena Somareddy.
Tue, March 18, 2025
Caroline Harrison Loehr, Co-Founder of the Compass School of Texas | The Jeff Crilley Show
Imagine having a blank sheet of paper and the freedom to design your dream school from scratch—taking the best parts of education and leaving out the rest. Today, I’m joined by Caroline Harrison Loehr, co-founder of the Compass School of Texas, who’s done exactly that.
Tue, March 18, 2025
Shane Walker, Sara Friedman, and Therese Rourk, Mad Hatter's Tea & Luncheon | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember that when I joined Fox 4 in the early '90s, I was assigned to cover the Mad Hatter's Tea & Luncheon, and I said, "Man, these Texans are living up to their reputation. Everything is bigger in Texas. Everything is flashy and more glamorous in Texas!" That's why I invited my next guests on the show. They are the leaders of the Mad Hatter's Tea & Luncheon this year. Shane Walker is a hat designer, and he's really critical to the success of the show. Therese Rourk is the president of the Women's Council of the Dallas Arboretum, and Sarah Friedman is the chair of this year's event.
Mon, March 17, 2025
Traswell C. Livingston III, CEO of ASD | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the homeless issue because my father was a minister in downtown Detroit and fed the homeless there. I remember we would spend every Christmas Eve feeding homeless people, and so this is a tip of my hat to my father because I have a guy who is on the front line of the homeless issue and affordable housing here in Dallas. Traswell C. Livingston III is in the studio. He's the CEO of ASD.

Bill Kummerer, Managing Shareholder and Dallas Office Lead of VedderPrice | The Jeff Crilley Show
I get around a lot and do a lot of networking. I was invited to an upscale event last week at the old Parkland Hospital that they completely redid. The campus is beautiful! I'm sitting next to my next guest, and we started talking, and he's been a corporate attorney for many years. I said, "You need to come on my television show!' So welcome to The Jeff Crilley Show, Bill Kummerer. He is the managing shareholder and heads up the Dallas office for VedderPrice.

Larry Lott, Adam Lewis, and Andrea Reich, Yellow Rose Gala | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love living in DFW because I think we're one of the most philanthropic communities in the entire country. There are galas going on all the time, and almost all of them support a very worthy cause. That's why I have the folks behind the Yellow Rose Gala in the studio right now. To my right is Larry Lott, in the middle is Andrea Reich, and on my far right is Adam Lewis.
Fri, March 14, 2025
Jason Reimer and Brad Andrus, Axis Realty Group | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm kind of a history buff, and so I love all the wonderful history around Dallas-Fort Worth. I didn't know about this project until our media partners at the DGA featured it on the front page of their publication, a new project that is being developed in Denton: Historic Downtown Denton. I am bringing on two of the driving forces behind it: Jason Reimer, with the Texas Fine Arts Theater, and Brad Andrus, with Axis Realty Group.

Keith Davidson, Dallas Market Leader of CLA | The Jeff Crilley Show
Starting a business is tough. Ask any entrepreneur. It's 24/7, but as you grow your company, sometimes the systems that worked when you were very small no longer work when you have 20, 50, or 100,000 employees. So, that's when you bring in a professional like my next guest. Keith Davidson is in the studio. He's the Dallas market leader for CLA.
Thu, March 13, 2025
Meredith Elliott Powell, Business Strategist & Keynote Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think this is true for all of us. We fear change. We get comfortable whether we have a good habit or a bad habit. It's more comfortable to stay in whatever habit you're in than to create new habits. That's why I invited my next guest onto the show, Meridith Elliott Powell. She's a business strategist, a keynote speaker, and the author of Mentally Fit.
Wed, March 12, 2025
Julian Sado, Founder of Pivot 2 Change LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
So, I'm at the tail end of the Baby Boomers. I'm 61 years old, and when I was growing up, the boss was pretty much like, 'It's my way or the highway.' His reason for ordering you to do something was simply, 'Because I said so.' Well, that doesn't really sit well with Gen Z and Millennials, and that's why companies bring in executive coaches—like my next guest. Julian Sado is in the studio.
Mon, March 10, 2025
Del Irani, Award-Winning Journalist & TV Anchor | The Jeff Crilley Show
As you see in my opening video, I spent 25 years in TV news, and I have so much respect for the people who are on the front lines still doing that: the job of journalism with a capital J. That includes my next guest. Del Irani is in the studio. She's an award-winning journalist, TV anchor, and my friend.
Mon, March 10, 2025
Linda Casey & Ashley Gomez, Dallas Mahj Club | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've heard about Mahjong my whole life, but right now I'm hearing about it all the time! It's on the news, it's been on Good Morning America, and my good friend Suzanne Gentry, who's a great publicist here in town, says, "I have two friends that you have to put on your show because this is really one of the fastest growing games on the planet," so joining us in studio are Linda Casey and Ashley Gomez with the Dallas Mahj Club. Visit dallasmahjclub.com to learn more!
Mon, March 10, 2025
Leisha S. Phipps, MSW, Executive Director of The Dallas Area Parkinson Society | The Jeff Crilley Show
When we think about Parkinson's, we think about celebrities like Muhammad Ali or Michael J. Fox because they became so publicly linked to it. I did not realize that it's the fastest-growing neurological disease on the planet. That's why I invited my next guest, Leisha S. Phipps, into the studio. She is the executive director of the Dallas Area Parkinson Society.
Mon, March 10, 2025
Nell Taylor & Joyce Logan, Senior Living Advisors with Ruby Care | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am 61 years old, and I'm blessed. My parents are still alive and well and living in Waco, Texas, but I've got to be honest with you. Every time my phone rings, and it says Mom and Dad during the day, I'm like, "Oh gosh, is something wrong?" Fortunately, they're both in good health, but the reason I'm telling you that story is that I think most of us wait until the very last minute until something happens or somebody fails to make a decision about what's the best for Mom and Dad. That's why I invited in two good friends, Nell Taylor and Joyce Logan. They're both with Ruby Care.
Thu, March 06, 2025
Nancy Galvan, CEO of Unica Entreprises | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always had hustle. I grew up in Detroit, and that was a tough place to grow up as a kid. I had a paper route, and I was always hustling to make a little bit of money so any time I run into an entrepreneur, I like to ask the question, "How did this begin?" Often it's a similar story: they started in their childhood. That describes my next guest, Nancy Galvan. She's with Unica Enterprises.
Thu, March 06, 2025
Elizabeth McCormick, Keynote Speaker & Black Hawk Helicopter Pilot | The Jeff Crilley Show
At one point I was out on the circuit giving 300 speeches a year in addition to my TV job at Fox Four, so I got to meet some top-notch speakers. I include my next guest as one of those people that I kept bumping into at different events. Elizabeth McCormick is in the studio. She's a keynote speaker. She's a former Black Hawk helicopter pilot, and she's my friend.
Thu, March 06, 2025
Giovanni Sanguily, GlassHive & TRIdigital Marketing | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, March 06, 2025
Derek and Sheree Simms, Simms Hospitality Group | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I got to Dallas in 1992, the news director picked me up at the airport and he says, "Two things you need to know about Dallas-Fort Worth: eating and shopping." It's been 30-plus years since that happened, and that's very true. Eating and shopping are what we love to do here. It's an experience. It's not just going out to get a burger; it's "Are you having an experience?" I can't think of a better couple to have in the studio than Derek and Sheree Simms. They're with The Simms Hospitality Group.
Wed, March 05, 2025
Phedra Redifer, Executive Director of Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas | The Jeff Crilley Show
Right now, the unemployment rate is hovering around 4%, but we've all driven around and seen people just hanging out. I mean able-bodied people who should be at work, and there's a myriad of reasons why they aren't at work. To explore that is the executive director of Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas, Phedra Redifer.
Wed, March 05, 2025
Kristen Utter, Speaker and Author of Shatterproof | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, March 03, 2025

Mon, March 03, 2025
Sheela Marshall, Tequila Sheela | The Jeff Crilley Show
My favorite liquor of all time is tequila, so why would I not invite on Tequila Sheela? Sheela Marshall is actually a dear friend. We've known each other for 20 plus years.
Mon, March 03, 2025
Nick Rice, Producer of the Movie 4:26 | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think we're living in a very exciting time when it comes to films. All the truly great movies these days are not being made by those big production companies in Hollywood. They're being made by independent film companies, and that's why I invited my next guest into the studio. The great Nick Rice is in studio. He is a producer, actor, and writer, and he's got a new project that is about to come out.
Thu, February 27, 2025
Bruce Arfsten, Mayor of the Town of Addison | The Jeff Crilley Show
I can't think of too many cities in North Texas that have such a great reputation. When you say the town of Addison, what do you think about? You think about Kaboom Town. You think about Oktoberfest. You think about all the great meals for weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays that you've celebrated in Addison, and that's why I had to have the mayor of Addison come on the show. It's Mayor Bruce Arfsten!
Thu, February 27, 2025
Dr. Greg Echt, Founder & Managing Member of Echt Capital LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
As you see in the show open, I've reinvented myself. In 2008, I walked away from a very successful journalism career of 25 years to start this in my home, and I've never been happier. My next guest knows a little something about reinventing himself. Dr. Greg Echt is in the studio. He's the founder and managing member of Echt Capital.
Thu, February 27, 2025
Kelvin Goss, Creator of "You Played The Race Card" | The Jeff Crilley Show
As of the last couple of years, when you say diversity and inclusion, it becomes very polarizing. People instantly make up their mind what that means, and so to sort out fact from fiction, I brought in a nationally known expert. His name is Kelvin Goss. He's the creator of the card game "You Played The Race Card".
Wed, February 26, 2025
Brandon C. Blewett, Author of How To Avoid Strangers On Airplanes | The Jeff Crilley Show
Remember when travel was fun? Before September 11th, you remember you could just roll up at the airport, breeze on by, and be on the plane in a matter of minutes. I get nervous when I fly, not because of the flight itself, but just the crowds, the people, the noises, and the congestion. And your flight is always delayed. Well, somebody who wrote a book about it is in the studio right now: Brandon C. Blewett. He's the author of How to Avoid Strangers on Airplanes.
Tue, February 25, 2025
Bert Vergez, CEO of IDRINQ USA | The Jeff Crilley Show
The energy drink business is a multi-billion dollar business. I remember when I was at Fox Four I needed energy drinks to stay awake, but I remember there was kind of a high and then a crash, and I was worried about the sugar. I was worried about some of those ingredients in there. Well, that's why I invited my next guest into the studio: Bert Vergez. He's the CEO of IDRINQ USA.
Mon, February 24, 2025
Robert Gardner, Gardner Wallace Financial Solutions, and Jack Kearney, Dumas Capital Partners | The Jeff Crilley Show
As a small business owner myself, I see this story quite a bit. I hang out around other business owners, and they all think that they're running this very successful company that one day they can sell for tens of millions of dollars. Then they get the bad news that they haven't structured their books the correct way, and they're not achieving enough of a profit to get what they hoped they were going to get when they sold. And that's why they bring in guys like my next guest: Robert Gardner, a founding partner of Gardner Wallace Financial Solutions, and Jack Kearney, with Dumas Capital Partners.
Fri, February 21, 2025
Serah D'Laine, Brand Strategist, Business Coach, & Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember when I was growing up, I don't think I could name a single CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Today they have become household brands. Who doesn't know Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk? And because their personal brand is so important, it's intricately tied into their corporate brand. That's why everybody needs a brand strategist. Serah D'Laine is in the studio. She's a personal brand strategist, a business coach, and an international speaker.
Thu, February 20, 2025
Marvin Harris Jr., Chairman of the Board of Tech Titans | The Jeff Crilley Show
I know that every parent wants the best for their son or daughter. If I was a young parent and I had a young teenage boy or girl, I would be telling them "Technology! There's a never-ending sea of possibilities. You can go as far as you want in technology." Someone who knows that very much is my next guest, Marvin Harris Jr. He's the chairman of the board of Tech Titans.
Thu, February 20, 2025
Devon Powe, Atelier Infusion | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you're dehydrated, the first thing doctors do when you go to the hospital is put an IV drip in you and get that hydration going. Well, now it's become a hot healthcare trend where they will actually come to your home with an IV drip, and it's filled with all kinds of vitamins you might be lacking. I know this because my wife and I are customers of my next guest, Devon Powe. He's with Atelier Infusion.
Wed, February 19, 2025
Mike Gallagher, Watermill Express | The Jeff Crilley Show
My wife is addicted to Evian water, and my big responsibility to keep the house at peace is to order at least two, sometimes three, cases of these two-liter bottles of Evian because she's convinced it's the best-tasting water in the world. But she has not tasted water from Watermill Express, and the CEO, Mike Gallagher, is in the studio right now.
Wed, February 19, 2025
Artemio De La Vega, De La Vega Development | The Jeff Crilley Show
As you know, Dallas keeps growing and growing all the way up to the Oklahoma state line. But there are pockets around Dallas-Fort Worth that are not being developed and they should be. And a guy who is a true genius is in my studio right now - Artemio De La Vega. He is the mastermind behind what will be one of the hottest entertainment districts in Dallas - The Central.
Tue, February 18, 2025
Rob Zschau, REDIGO Health Coaching | The Jeff Crilley Show
This is a very common tale: everybody makes this New Year's resolution to get in shape, they get a gym membership, and then by February, you can't find a single person in the gym because they've all backslid on their New Year's resolution to get back on track. In studio is a nationally known health coach and a friend, Rob Zschau. He's with REDIGO Health Coaching.
Tue, February 18, 2025
Betsy Gray, ProLifeFintech | The Jeff Crilley Show
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, "Where is my bank investing my money?" Because they all invest money across the platforms, and they could be investing something in an industry that you don't even believe in. Somebody who's out to do something about it is in the studio right now, Betsy Gray. She's the co-founder of ProLifeFintech.
Mon, February 17, 2025
Renee Getz, Marketplace Chaplains | The Jeff Crilley Show
Alright CEOs, listen up! You're gonna love this show! Let's say you're the head of a large organization, and you have a salesperson who's a rockstar salesperson. They happen to have the loss of a loved one or a divorce, and now all of a sudden this rockstar salesperson is just a shell of themself. How do you deal with that? HR's not gonna deal with that. You have to turn to somebody like my next guest, Renee Getz. She's with Marketplace Chaplains.
Mon, February 17, 2025
Jaime Barron, Immigration Attorney at JaimeBarron.com | The Jeff Crilley Show
I started this company in 2008 in my home, and one of the first people to believe in me is my next guest, Jaime Barron, a very successful immigration attorney. And I've watched his career grow from afar, and so, with immigration all over the news, I couldn't think of a better person to invite into the studio than the great Jaime Barron.
Mon, February 17, 2025
Peyton Hornberger, Young Americans for Liberty | The Jeff Crilley Show
It seems like the legacy media only cares about conservatives and liberals. They talk about the Republican Party all the time. They talk about the Democrats all the time, but they don't pay enough attention to a fast-growing movement. It's the Liberty Movement, and joining us from our Austin studios is Peyton Hornberger. She is the Marketing Director for Young Americans for Liberty.
Fri, February 14, 2025
Ruth Shim and Chris Alpert, Equest's Hooves for Heroes | The Jeff Crilley Show
When you think about our military, we go through boot camp. We put people through a lot of days and days of work to get them ready and steeled for war. But when it's time to leave the military, I think it's something like half a day of reclamation training, and it leaves a lot of veterans frustrated and unable to integrate back into society. That's why I love putting a loving spotlight on some amazing non-profits, and the the folks in the studio today are with Hooves for Heroes: Ruth Shim and Chris Alpert.
Fri, February 14, 2025
Chonnie Richey, Founder of Independence Gardens | The Jeff Crilley Show

Fri, February 14, 2025
Natalie Nichole, Singer/Songwriter, Best-Selling Author, Actress, and Influencer | The Jeff Crilley Show
They never make movies about people who were born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would go see that movie. They see movies like Rocky overcoming obstacles, Million Dollar Baby, and I'm convinced that they're going to make a movie after my next guest. Natalie Nichole is in the studio today. She's an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, best-selling author, actress, and influencer.
Fri, February 14, 2025
Aaron Antillon, Team Development Expert, Keynote Speaker, & Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
My show open is familiar to a lot of us. We were climbing some little hill or mountain, and we get to the top and look around and we say, "Is this all there is?" And then we go in another direction. We climb another mountain. That's certainly what I did in my career. And that is very true for my next guest. Aaron Antillon is in the studio. He's a dynamic speaker, he's a coach, and he's my friend.
Thu, February 13, 2025
Terry Brown and Chris Wyco | The Jeff Crilley Show
If there's anything good that came from the pandemic (and not a lot good came from the pandemic), it's that we've gotten out in the open that mental health is a real problem across the globe. And you know, years ago, if you were in law enforcement or firefighting, you wouldn't dream of telling anybody that you had a mental health issue because they'd take you off the street. Now, even our first responders are brave enough to say, "I'm wrestling with something," and they have someone to talk to. Two people at the forefront of this fight are in studio right now, Terry Brown and Chris Wyco. They're both with Wild Hub.
Thu, February 13, 2025
Jon Schultz, ezLocator | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love disruptors, and I love featuring them on my show.

Today, Jon Schultz, the CEO of ezLocator, is in the studio with me.
Wed, February 12, 2025
Dylan Smith, D is for Dyslexia | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you're a child with dyslexia, you can get bullied at school. You can certainly go into a downward spiral of self-pity and regret. But my next guest has turned it into a superpower. Now he's teaching people of all walks of life, all over the planet, that you can turn whatever you see as a possible setback into your superpower. Dylan Smith joins me today and D is for Dyslexia, is the name of his company.
Wed, February 12, 2025
Dr. Alex Golden & Megan Blacksmith, Zesty | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember after doing TV news for 25 years, I think I was in something of a rut. I wasn't getting the joy I would get in the early days of TV news, and I finally had to leave TV news to start this public relations firm and podcast network. I'm so overjoyed that finally, maybe God pushed me and I took that leap. It's dangerous to take that leap, but my next two guests can talk about getting Zesty. Dr. Alex Golden and Megan Blacksmith are in the studio.
Wed, February 12, 2025
Noel Sinaga & Phil Carlson, Christian Businessmen's Connection | The Jeff Crilley Show
It says in the Bible to love thy neighbor, but if you look at the business world, it's more like "do unto others before they do it to you." Monday through Friday can be a difficult time in the dog-eat-dog business world. But two people who are making a profound difference here in Dallas-Fort Worth are in the studio right now: Noel Sinaga and Phil Carlson. They're both with an organization called Christian Businessmen's Connection.
Wed, February 12, 2025
Sharontine Bottley, Portfolio Academy | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's an old saying. It's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. My next guest knows this story very well and now that's what she's doing with her life. She's helping entrepreneurs get up after suffering a setback. Sharontine Bottley is in the studio and she's with Portfolio Academy.
Tue, February 11, 2025
Mackey Culbertson, Attorney & Shareholder at FBFK Law | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am a proud member of EO Dallas. That stands for Entrepreneurs' Organization, and we love to bring sponsors on our show. A long-time sponsor is FBFK Law. Joining us now is Mackey Culbertson. He's one of the rising stars over there.
Tue, February 11, 2025
Tammy Pierce, CEO & Founder of United Black Contractors | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's an old saying: if you want to see how successful a city is, look for the cranes. Not the birds, but the cranes that are putting up buildings. When I drive through Dallas-Fort Worth and up into Frisco, you see cranes to your right and to your left, but to make sure that everybody gets an opportunity for those very lucrative jobs, I brought into the studio Tammy Pierce. She's the CEO and founder of United Black Contractors.
Tue, February 11, 2025
D'Andra Simmons and Jessica Gohring, Food in Fashion | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember when I took my job at Fox 4 in the early '90s. I got off the plane and the news director said, "There's only two things you need to know about Dallas-Fort Worth: food and fashion." And if you can combine the two of them, you've really got a winner of an event. So joining me now are two of the driving forces behind Food in Fashion: Jessica Gohring and D'Andra Simmons.
Mon, February 10, 2025
Tyler Pope & Kyle Harger, Texas Security Bank | The Jeff Crilley Show
Most of the businesses started in America are started by small businesses, and the lifeblood of every small business in America is a good banking relationship. That's why I invited my next two guests into the studio: Tyler Pope and Kyle Harger. They're both with Texas Security Bank.
Fri, February 07, 2025
CJ Grace, Host & Producer at Thriving Women Network, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
We're taping this on a fortuitous day for my next guest because this is World Cancer Day, in which we educate people on the different ways that people can put themselves at risk. And something that's new to me, I just learned this, is that there is a link between bras and breast cancer. C.J. Grace is in the studio. She is a former BBC journalist, she's a comedian, she's a self-help author, and she's my friend.
Thu, February 06, 2025
Luis Rojo, Rojo Steele | The Jeff Crilley Show
Immigration has been all over the news. You can't watch a single television station without seeing something about what Trump is doing these days, and that is causing a windfall for the people who are involved with immigration and helping people become legal. And I think we can all agree that everybody wants legal immigration. Luis Rojo is in the studio. He's with Rojo Steele.
Thu, February 06, 2025
David Swaim, Managing Partner of Immigration-Pros.com | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've had a chance to interview a lot of immigration attorneys recently on my show, but this next guest is the managing partner of Tidwell, Swaim, and Farquhar. They've been around since 1978. That's amazing!
Tue, February 04, 2025
Cai Ranáe, Cai Ranáe Visuals | The Jeff Crilley Show
In my TV career, I had a chance to work with some amazing videographers, and I have so much respect for that craft. They always say a picture speaks a thousand words, and if that's true, then a video speaks 10,000 words. Let's talk today to a brilliant videographer. Her name is Cai Ranáe, and she's with Cai Ranáe Visuals.
Tue, February 04, 2025
Julie Jones, Today's Professionals Consulting & Development | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm seeing these articles all over the place about how large, small, and midsize companies are bringing in etiquette experts to teach younger employees how to communicate. Let's be honest: I'm a baby boomer, so I'm a talking generation, and Gen Z is a texting generation. Some of the basic soft skills that you need to be successful in life are not being taught in colleges. Sometimes the parents are not teaching these things, and so that's when you bring in a guest like my next guest, Julie Jones. She's with Today's Professionals Consulting & Development.
Tue, February 04, 2025
Mary Hamilton, CEO of Mad Data | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, I don't know about you, but it's frustrating to me. I wake up every morning and see another headline about another cybersecurity hack. It doesn't matter if it's the largest bank in the country or the federal government, but everybody is vulnerable to these attacks. To talk about that today, Mary Hamilton, she's the CEO of Mad Data.
Mon, February 03, 2025
Fabian Cruz, Cito Tax | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, I have been blessed. To date, I have been employed for 40-plus years, and I've never received that dreaded letter from the IRS saying, "You're being audited." But if I did, I would get a pro to come in and help me with that, and that describes my next guest. Fabian Cruz, founder of Cito Tax, is in the studio.
Fri, January 31, 2025
Chelsea A. Debrah, FNP-C, Owner & CEO of Orchid Wellness | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love it when people find their purpose. For 25 years of my life, I was a television reporter telling stories and not always the happiest stories; sometimes I was covering crimes. Now I get to put a spotlight on people doing amazing things, and I'm so proud to have my next guest on the show because she also has a passion for helping people. Chelsea Debrah is a family nurse practitioner, and she's the owner and CEO of Orchid Wellness.
Thu, January 30, 2025
Francine Ivey, Certified Elite Christian Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have to confess, I think I've led such a blessed life that I've not known tremendous tragedy, and by that I mean a significant death of a loved one. I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose somebody that close to you, but my next guest knows that very well. Francine Ivey is in the studio. She's a kingdom coach.
Thu, January 30, 2025
Scott Schilling, International Speaker, Trainer & Executive Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am a boomer, and I think I grew up along hard knocks. I mean, you didn't get anything for free. I have two hardworking children, but they don't have the same sticktoitiveness that I do. And I think this next generation is even more spoiled. They never got told no, so sales across industries are really suffering right now. To talk about that today is nationally known expert, Scott Schilling.
Wed, January 29, 2025
Angela M. Lopez, ALMA Law, PLLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
At the time of this taping, immigration is all over the news. We're hearing about Ice raids. And so the country has become very heated about immigration. But if we think about this land being a land of immigrants, we all came from someplace else to come to America. Legal immigration is so critical. To talk about that today is Angela M. Lopez with ALMA Law.
Wed, January 29, 2025
Paul Frase and Corey Berry, Headrush Podcast | The Jeff Crilley Show
I like to meet all our new podcasters, but since we are now producing about 190 different shows, I don't get to meet everybody. However, I had the privilege of interviewing the hosts of our brand new podcast, Headrush Podcast. The two hosts, Paul Frase and Corey Berry, join me in the studio today.

Kathryn Thalken, Thrive & Shine Co. | The Jeff Crilley Show
So we're taping this in January, and unfortunately, January and February are the two highest months for filing for divorce. If you think about it, a lot of families that are struggling during the holidays, they're just kind of limping through the holidays. And then unfortunately, they kind of rush into divorce court in January and February, and that is devastating, especially when children are involved. To talk about that today, Katherine Thalken, she is a therapist, and she's my friend.

Kimmy Seltzer, Dating & Relationship Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am so happily married to my soulmate, who has been married 24 years. I can't even imagine what it would be like to return to the dating scene, but many people over 40 are back out there again. And so what do you do? Do you swipe right? Do you go to a singles bar? If you're wise, consult my friend Kimmy Seltzer, a dating and relationship expert.

The Smiley Family, Verity Entertainment | The Jeff Crilley Show
I suggest that Hollywood has been playing it safe for way too long. They won't even invest in a film or produce a movie that they can't already see the proceeds. And so we're seeing so many action figures turned into movies. Or it was a sitcom from the 70s that became a film. That's why original content is coming from independent filmmakers. And that's why I'm proud to have The Smiley Family in the studio. They are the minds behind Verity Entertainment.

JJ Gomez, Chambers Bank Texas | The Jeff Crilley Show

Dr. Toni Engram, Owner of Flourish Dental | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love the way God works. We're cruising down the road, and suddenly, there's a detour. You can look at the detour as a negative, or you can say, okay, God, What do you have in store for me? And that describes my next guest, Dr. Toni Engram, owner of Flourish Dental.
Mon, January 27, 2025
Ryan Thrash, MODX | The Jeff Crilley Show
I run into small to mid-sized business owners all the time who have a website, but they complain it's not working. I'm not getting leads from it, which could be a function of how you set up the website. Does Google even see you? There's a whole litany of things besides having pretty pictures, images, and graphics on your website. To talk about that today, a national expert and a good friend, Ryan Thrash, with MODX.

Dr. Julia Wiener, CEO of JW Strategies | The Jeff Crilley Show
I like to call my company a Thank God It's Monday Workplace. It's a very happy company. One of the favorite sounds I hear all day is employees gathering together, laughing over lunch hour, and it's music to my ears. It hasn't always been that way. In my 16 years, there have been times when the company was in a funk, and it was a mix of problems. I can't think of a better person to come to my show than Dr. Julia Wieners, CEO of JW Strategies.

Rob Zweerman, High Performance Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think we all get stuck in a rut. We're doing the same thing. And there's that old saying, if you keep doing what you've always done, you will only get what you've already done. And that's when you sometimes bring in a high performance coach like my next guest, Rob Zweerman.
Thu, January 23, 2025
Sean Schoenmakers, ActionCOACH, Certified Business Coach. | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have seen this story again and again in my career. You have a growing company, and they plateau and don't know what to do. And it's hard to, you know, coach yourself. So sometimes you have to bring in an outside pair of eyes that can look under the hood and see what's wrong with that car. That's when you bring in my next guest, Sean Schoenmakers, a certified business coach with ActionCOACH.

Wed, January 22, 2025
Carla Hanes, Speaker and Mentor | The Jeff Crilley Show
I don't know about you, but I think we all tell ourselves lies. Isn't that the truth? We look in the mirror, see imperfections, and tell ourselves a story about ourselves. Or somebody says something unkind, and we choose to believe it. My next guest is on a mission to help us all discover our god given identity. Carla Hanes is in the studio.
Tue, January 21, 2025
Ahsan Daredia, Partner at SLX | The Jeff Crilley Show
If we pull up a Forbes list of the wealthiest Americans, I would wager that every family in the Fortune 100 has real estate in their portfolio. It's not just the stock market. Why? Because they're not making more land. It's finite. My next guest will educate us on the do's and don'ts of investing in real estate. Ahsan Daredia, a partner at SLX, is here in the studio.
Mon, January 20, 2025
Karla Hutcherson and Brandi Mock, Mental Perk | The Jeff Crilley Show
If there's anything good that came from the pandemic, and there's not much good that came from the pandemic, it's that there's a new focus on mental health. And I suggest that where we have a mental health pandemic going on right now, and it's all undiagnosed. You can't just shut down the world. To talk about mental health and remove all stigmas are the hosts of the Mental Perk podcast, Karla Hutcherson and Brandy Mock.
Mon, January 20, 2025
David Lopez, CEO of Summa | The Jeff Crilley Show
The lifeblood of any company is capital. If you're not raising capital or paying your bills, you go out of business. We know that nine out of ten small businesses will fail within the first five years. And so much of that has to do with money flow. David Lopez, the CEO of Summa, is in the studio today to discuss that.
Wed, January 15, 2025
Chris Wallace, CEO of the North Texas Commission | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am so privileged to call DFW my home. I remember when I moved to Dallas in 1992 to take a job at Fox 4. We were market number 8, and now we are market number 4.

Chris Wallace, the CEO of the North Texas Commission, is a significant influencer here in Dallas and joins us in the studio.

Mia Rene, Host of Faith & Business Podcast | The Jeff Crilley Show
Most people are drifting through life, let's be honest. Unless you wake up every morning having goals that you're setting, most of us are just drifting, and sometimes you can drift through your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and now you're in your 60s, and you're like, what happened to my life? Somebody who's going to help us all get refocused is my next guest, Mia Rene. She is the host of the Faith and Business podcast.

Travis Ala, Mr. Unstuck | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you want to build muscle, you go to the gym and you actually have to experience pain. So many people wake up and could be going to the gym, but they'd be more comfortable lying down and getting another 15 minutes of sleep. So, to become unstuck, you actually have to go through some adversity. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Travis Ala, known as Mr. Unstuck.
Mon, January 13, 2025
Abdul Rehman, Posh | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am on the tail end of the baby boomers, and my generation likes to say that's how it's always been done. I love Gen Z and Millennials because they look at stale industries, like the taxicab industry, and then come up with something like Uber. My next guest is doing the same thing in the car and truck market, Abdul Rehman is with Posh.
Mon, January 13, 2025
Lisa Bills, Host of Discovering Your Divine Destiny | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think we all come to this part in our life where we climb this little hill or mountain, and then we look around and say, is that all there is? And that certainly happened to me. I was at the height of TV news and the fourth-largest TV market, and then walked away from it to start this company in my home. And it was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Somebody who's on a journey right now to help people discover their divine destiny is in studio, Lisa Bills.
Mon, January 13, 2025
Dan Jenkins, Owner of Pickleball Kingdom North Texas
I have to confess, I was kind of late to the game. The first time I heard about pickleball was a few years ago when our country club in Plano started pickleball lessons and pickleball courts. And I kept thinking, what is this? It looks like tennis, but it's not. A guy who was pickleball before pickleball was cool is in the studio right now. Dan Jenkins is the owner of Pickleball Kingdom North Texas.
Mon, January 13, 2025
Jan Richey and Tom Lamphere, The Jan Richey Team of Keller Williams | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I think about real estate, I think about the ebbs and flows. Sometimes it's a hot market and anyone can sell a home, and then it's a cool market and that's when it sorts out the true realtors from the people who just came in to try and make a fast buck. So when I think about power couples, I think about the next couple that is here in the studio. Tom Lamphere and Jan Richey with The Jan Richey Team of Keller Williams.
Wed, January 08, 2025

Dr. Adam Wright, Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center | The Jeff Crilley Show
We're living longer and longer these days, so we want our quality of life in our 60s, 70s, 80s, and into our 90s to be full and vibrant. That's why knee and hip replacement is going crazy right now. Instead of nursing an old injury and saying that's my fate, people say, let's get it done. Dr. Adam Wright, with Plano Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, will discuss that today.

Caroline Susie, Registered Licensed Dietitian | The Jeff Crilley Show
Tell me if this story sounds familiar: You've been eating and drinking your heart out since Thanksgiving. You may have put on a pound or two, so you make that New Year's Resolution: I'm getting a gym membership and going to eat healthy. Within a month, you have already given up. Many of us have been playing it for years and years. So, to teach us how to get off that hamster wheel, Caroline Susie, a registered licensed dietitian.

Suzanne Walker and Mitchell Walker, Laura's Cheesecake | The Jeff Crilley Show
I was born in the 1960s and grew up when families got together over dinner. You had to be there, no excuses. You would share stories about your day and learn about your mom and dad and their childhoods. Unfortunately, we're all so busy, and that doesn't happen anymore. Today, I have the honor of introducing you to a couple trying to bring families together one cheesecake at a time. Suzanne and Mitchell Walker are with Laura's Cheesecake.

Jennifer Scripps, Downtown Dallas, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
I left TV news in 2008, and by 2009, I had the great fortune of working with Downtown Dallas, Inc. I remember when they were describing this fantastic place where live, work, play, and everybody would be living downtown. And obviously, you've seen what's happened to downtown Klyde Warren Park, the Arts District. It's just so impressive. I couldn't think of a better person to invite on the show than the new president and CEO of Downtown Dallas, Inc., Jennifer Scripps.

Ashley Harvey-Watt, Pillar Recruiting | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have always been a fan of grit and stick-to-it-ivness. Anybody who's ever done anything remarkable in their life has to overcome obstacles.

Tue, December 31, 2024
Bob Kehr, MBA, Kehr Technologies | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, December 31, 2024
Damien LeVeck, Producer & Director, Skubalon, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
I must confess, I'm more of a rom-com than a horror guy, but I have so much respect for the people who do it well. We've all seen horror films where it fell flat. They were being too heavy-handed, and it was apparent. There's an art to scare people and to talk about that today is Damien LeVeck, producer and director at Skubalon, Inc.

Kevin Dahlberg and Ashley Watt, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen | The Jeff Crilley Show
Dallas-Fort Worth is the home of all networking groups, but so many of them will be hot for a second, and then the next thing you know, they're out of business.

Two of the driving forces of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen join us today, Kevin Dahlberg and Ashley Watt.

Elizabeth V. Allen, Publisher, Castle Hills Neighbors | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you're an advertiser, it gets very confusing. Where do you spend your money? Billboards. Bus boards. Radio. Television. Print. Facebook. It can be very confusing. Unless you know exactly who you're trying to target, and that's where community magazines come into play. I'm so proud to have Elizabeth V. Allen on the show. She's the publisher of Castle Hills Neighbors.

Darrell Hurmis, Executive Vice President/Principal, Henry S Miller | The Jeff Crilley Show
This is a fascinating subject for me because when you look around and see iconic names like Steadman, Carruth, and Carpenter, you wonder, who are these people? Well, I'll tell you what. They're all in this book. It's called the book. Today, we are talking to one of the organizers, Darrell Hurmis. He is the Executive Vice President and Principal of Henry S. Miller.

Breeana Renee, The Social B Agency | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a baby boomer, so I'm going to confess that I don't do my own social media. I have people on my team who do that. So, if you see me posting, it's not me. I don't know how to figure it all out. Every time you turn around, there is a new platform to know and understand. That's why you bring in an expert to do things you're not good at. Someone like my next guest, Breeana Renee, the founder of The Social B Agency.

Joe Pizzurro, MBA, Founder & CEO of Breakchain Capital Investments | The Jeff Crilley Show

Michelle Saenz-Rodriguez and George Rodriguez, Saenz-Rodriguez and Associates |The Jeff Crilley Show

Edward Sigmond, President of American Business Network | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember when I was going to college all those years ago. They didn't offer a single class for entrepreneurship. These days, you go to any campus in America, and the spotlight is on entrepreneurship. Everybody likes to think they can be the next Mark Zuckerberg or Mark Cuban. But of course, any great start-up needs funding. To talk about that today is Edward Sigmond, the president of American Business Network.
Fri, December 13, 2024
Eric Leyendecker, Director of Land Acquisition at Anthem Development | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've had several experts on my show talking about commercial real estate. When you talk about commercial real estate, that describes a lot of territory, everything from office buildings to warehouses to multifamily and apartments.

It's relatively recession-proof, and to discuss that today is Eric Leyendecker, Director of Land Acquisition at Anthem Development.

Amber Griffin, Founder of Model Prep | The Jeff Crilley Show

Scott Levy, CEO of Resultmaps | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think I'm speaking on behalf of all entrepreneurs at this point. You're building a machine, you're on the hamster wheel, you're rolling.

So, sometimes you have to get off the hamster wheel, and that's when you hire my next guest. Scott Levy is in the studio. He's the CEO of Resultmaps.

Thu, December 05, 2024
Ron Berutti, Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a huge Rocky fan. I remember watching that movie when I was a young teen, and I was always a Rocky fan because Rocky represented the common man.

Joining us now from New York is Ron Berutti with Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC.
Thu, December 05, 2024

Sonia Azad, Mindful Media, Corporate Wellness & Yoga Retreats | The Jeff Crilley Show
One of the scariest things I ever did in my life was leave TV news. I was a TV reporter since I was 19 years old in college, and so when I left the business at the age of 45, I was scared out of my mind. I suddenly became an entrepreneur, and you have to sink or swim. Somebody who can relate to that is my next guest, Sonia Azad, formerly of Channel 8. And before then, Houston and many other markets before that. Now, she hosts corporate wellness and yoga retreats.

Dr. Doug Strobel and Natalie Gardner, Dr. Doug's Miracle Balms Brand | The Jeff Crilley Show
When it comes to skincare, it's dizzying. You go to any grocery store or pharmacy, and there is just aisle after aisle of skincare and healing balms, and you don't know what to believe. Well, sometimes you just make one of your own. That's the story behind Dr. Doug's Miracle Balm Brands. The brainchild behind this incredible brand is in the studio, Dr. Doug himself and Natalie Gardner.
Thu, December 05, 2024
MarQui McGill, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | The Jeff Crilley Show
The holidays can bring on a lot of stress and family dynamics, and it's not a coincidence that January and February are the busiest times for divorce attorneys.

Wed, December 04, 2024
Dr. Shaggy, Modern Bite Dentistry / Veneer Lounge | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always gotten compliments on my smile. If I showed you my driver's license picture, it's ridiculous. I have this huge smile. But when I was in high school, my teeth were messed up. I remember not smiling deliberately because I was so embarrassed with my smile. And so, in college, I scraped together enough money to get some cosmetic dentistry. And I've had a couple more procedures since then, and now I smile like a fool. Somebody who is out to change the world one smile at a time is in the studio right now, Dr. Shaggy. She's with Modern Bite Dentistry and Veneer Lounge.

Matthew Osborne, 19 Production House | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, December 02, 2024
Chris Putnam, CEO of Dallas Express | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love this time when everything seems to be disrupted. Uber disrupted the taxi cab industry, Airbnb disrupted the hotel industry, and the media is changing every single day. Who thought a guy named Joe Rogan could have 100 million followers and beat 60 Minutes? My next guest knows the changing landscape of the media very well because he's at the forefront. Chris Putnam is the CEO of Dallas Express.
Mon, December 02, 2024
Von Truong, Realtor with RE/MAX DFW Associates | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think I speak for a lot of Americans, we like to make excuses. We say if we were only born into a different family, born in a different town, or even if there was someone different as president. It's all excuses because when you meet someone like my next guest, it reframes your thoughts. Von Truong is a very successful realtor with RE/MAX DFW Associates.
Wed, November 27, 2024
Wei Wei Jeang, Fulton Jeang PLLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, it doesn't get a lot of publicity, but one of the most promising areas of law is in the patent area. You know, think about patents, trademarks, copyrights. There's a reason why you can't go out and recreate the Nike swoosh or the McDonald's "M". It's because it's already copyrighted and trademarked. Somebody who knows it very well is my next guest, Wei Wei Jeang, she is with Fulton Jeang.
Tue, November 26, 2024
James Halverson, Author of Awakened | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, I think all of us have the same journey. We like to think that we're in the driver's seat of life. And the truth is, God's in the driver's seat, where we're always in the passenger seat. We can suggest God. We probably want to go right or left or speed up or slow down. Ultimately, God's driving the car, and somebody who knows it very well is my next guest, James Halverson, he's the author of Awakened.

Major Paul McFarland and Captain Maxie DeBlanc, The Salvation Army | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, there are countless nonprofits out there, but one has certainly become a household name. I'm talking about the Salvation Army. And many of us think we know something about the Salvation Army. Maybe you associate it with the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Day and the big presentation. Some people might associate it with bell ringers or angel donations, but it's a vast organization. It's in 133 countries around the planet. I had no idea. To talk about that today are two of the leaders of the North Texas operation, Major Paul McFarland and Captain Maxie DeBlanc.

Jamie Munoz, General Manager of Galaxy FBO | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you go to any airport in the country, large or small, the show's stars tend to be the planes. But the real stars behind the scenes are the ones that are making everything work.

Brooke Ladouceur, Flourishing Faith | The Jeff Crilley Show
My dad is a pastor, and I've been going to church my entire life. But as I've gone from church to church, I've noticed that some churches do a better job than others at ministering to people and what they're going through in their average day. There is a need in the space to really be relevant to people. And that's where my next guest comes in. Brooke Ladouceur is the CEO and founder of Flourishing Faith.

Dr. Matt Chalmers, Health & Wellness Expert/Podcast Host/Author/Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
We've all seen this movie before. Some of us have two Thanksgivings to go to. We just eat as much as we possibly can, and then we feel bad. So we eat more comfort food and then wake up on January 2nd with a New Year's resolution to lose all that fat. How do you break this cycle that we all do each year? We've run in a nationally known healthy living expert, Dr. Matt Chalmers.

Steve Bender, Earth X / Rotarian | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think we all have the same problem: we're searching for meaning. In your early days, sometimes you're working for the money, a job, a title, or the corner office.

He's heavily involved in Earth X and a very proud Rotarian.
Thu, November 14, 2024
Sharla Frost, Best-Selling Author/Keynote Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love the old quote that Ginger Rogers could do everything Fred Astaire could, except backwards in high heels. And I think that describes our society.

She's a friend, bestselling author, and a keynote speaker.

Chris Wilbratte, Co-Founder of Echelon Financial | The Jeff Crilley Show

Sherry G. Brown, Conflict Management Consultant | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always had a soft spot for teachers. I think there's no more thankless job than being a teacher right now. And think about all the pressures that you know from parents, from the kids, and even the administration can become a hassle for the teacher herself or himself. Sometimes, they need another voice, an outsider, to come in and resolve that conflict. Sherry G. Brown is in the studio. She is an expert in conflict resolution.
Tue, November 12, 2024
Rocky Garza, Leadership Consultant/Keynote Speaker/Advisor to 8-figure CEOs | The Jeff Crilley Show

Rocky Garza is a leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and advisor to eight-figure CEOs.

Thu, November 07, 2024
Piet Van Waarde, Cancer Warrior/Pastor/Chaplain | The Jeff Crilley Show
When life is so precious, the Bible says we're not promised tomorrow. We're not promised this afternoon. I will get in my car this afternoon, and I pray that I get home.

Wed, November 06, 2024
Jenny Dillon, Owner & Founder of OhZone | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think you'll agree with me. We live in a sick nation. And by that, I mean we're wired, we're tired, we're overcaffeinated. And then what happens? You go to your doctor because you're feeling fatigued, and they give you a pill. I don't believe that every solution to every medical issue is solved with a pill. In fact, I think less pills is better. Jenny Dillon agrees with that. She's the owner and founder of OhZone.
Wed, November 06, 2024
Ami Kassar, Founder & CEO of Multifunding | The Jeff Crilley Show

But my next guest says that if you have a traditional banking relationship, you could be leaving money on the table. Ami Kassar is in the studio. He's the founder and CEO of Multifunding.
Wed, November 06, 2024

Tue, November 05, 2024
Wanda Allen, Follow Up Sales Strategies | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think sales departments across the country are suffering because the salespeople don't have the stick-to-itiveness, or maybe just don't have the knowledge to follow up. I was on a webinar the other night, and it blew me away because the speaker, the person who was leading the webinar, was giving so many rock-solid tips that I ran out of notebook pages to write them down. Wanda Allen joins us remotely with Follow Up Sales Solutions.
Tue, November 05, 2024
Nancy Gail Daniels, Chief Operating Officer for Hyosung Americas | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, November 05, 2024
Tatiana Miller, RX 4 Life | The Jeff Crilley Show
It fascinates me that we know more about the human body than we've ever known before. We know more about how the brain works.

That's why I have my next guest on the show, Tatiana Miller, with RX 4 Life.
Mon, November 04, 2024
Betsy Allen-Manning, Owner & CEO of Destination Workplace™ | The Jeff Crilley Show
As I often say on this show, I have a thank God it's Monday company. We hire for attitude and teach skills, and so many companies in this country are struggling. They bring in someone who just graduated from college. They don't have the right culture, and suddenly, they're looking for a new employee. And that can take so much time and money. Somebody who simplifies the process is my next guest, Betsy Ellen Manning, the owner and CEO of Destination Workplace.

We will talk with the author, Barbara Patterson.
Fri, November 01, 2024
Don Kersting, Founder & Principal of Kersting Creative | The Jeff Crilley Show
One of my guilty pleasures is watching The Office with Michael Scott. In almost every episode, there's a meeting in the conference room, and Michael Scott is training them on something.

Thu, October 31, 2024
Jason W. Taylor, President & Founder, CodeLauch | The Jeff Crilley Show

Wed, October 30, 2024

Mon, October 28, 2024
Amy Bonanno, Power Players Pro | The Jeff Crilley Show

Somebody who knows that well is my next guest, Amy Bonanno, with Power Players Pro.
Mon, October 28, 2024
Sybil Summers, On-Air Personality/Podcaster/VO/Emcee | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, October 24, 2024
Nancy McDonnell, Texas Capital Bank/Head of Treasury Solutions | The Jeff Crilley Show

Fri, October 18, 2024
Hillary Seiler, FInancial Footwork | The Jeff Crilley Show
This is a very familiar story, and so many professional athletes know this very well. They sign this significant contract, get a ridiculous amount of money, and then blow through all of it.

Elizabeth Mahusay, Author/Speaker/Trainer | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's an old saying, whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right. The late great Zig Ziglar used to say, it's your stinking thinking.

Tue, October 15, 2024
Tameka Denise, Life Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show

Julie Hutchinson, CEO of Core Performance | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have a confession to make. For 25 years, I was a television reporter. And if you think about the stress on a TV reporter, it's insane. You're on deadline. The phone is ringing, and the TV station wants the piece. And I remember telling myself a false story. I told myself I was addicted to stress. I wouldn't want a regular job where there was no stress.

May Liu, Producer/Actress/Writer/Director | The Jeff Crilley Show
It has often been said that some of the greatest movies of all time are not being made in Hollywood. Why? Hollywood is too beholden to the Almighty Dollar.

Dana Grant, International Master Certified Life Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
At the height of my news career, I was the lead story guy for channel 4 here in Dallas. That meant I was constantly covering crime every single night.

Estate planning is something that none of us want to think about. It's a topic that we put off till later, and then, unfortunately, a person dies without a will or they don't have trust in place. And suddenly, the kids are fighting at a time when they should be mourning you or celebrating your life. Somebody who knows that very well is on the front line of this fight. Adriane Grace is in the studio. She's with the law office of Adriane S. Grace.

Inna Adamovich, STAYWITHUKRAINE INC | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember when the war in Ukraine first started. It was all over the news, and the whole country seemed to rally around Ukraine. We were all flying Ukrainian flags. But as time went on, it drifted from the front page. Sometimes, I'm watching the entire newscast, and they don't even mention Ukraine. My next guest is somebody who is determined to keep it on the front pages of America's papers. She joins us from our Austin studio, Inna Adamovich, with STAYWITHUKRAINE.

Tom Hulsey, Author of The Winning Mindset that Saved My Life | The Jeff Crilley Show
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and I'm learning a lot about it. I mean, people have heard of it, but they're not familiar with it.

Wed, September 18, 2024
Dana Nygaard, Psychotherapist / Speaker / Author | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have this theory that when you first start dating, you're wearing 17 masks, and she might be wearing 18 masks. And slowly, over the course of dating, you remove the mask. But the big problem is that so many people fall in love with the last mask that hasn't been revealed yet, and they suddenly discover that Mr. Right is absolutely Mr. Wrong. Somebody who knows about that is my next guest, Dana Nygaard, a relationship expert, speaker, author, and friend.
Wed, September 18, 2024
Dr. Bill Hennessey, Chief Innovation & Billing Integrity Officer at CareGuide Advocates | JCS
We've all seen these stories on the news: a couple gets their hospital bill, and as they go through it, they are charged 70 bucks for Tylenol.

Tue, September 17, 2024
Joey Rachid, Global Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) | The Jeff Crilley Show
I know it's frustrating for you—it’s frustrating for everyone. How can we stop hackers?

Mon, September 16, 2024
Kim Witczak, Global Drug Safety Advocate | The Jeff Crilley Show
If anything positive came from the pandemic, it's that people became more aware of Big Pharma and realized that a pill isn't the solution to every problem. There's now a healthy skepticism, especially when the government pushes a pill or shot. It's important for all of us to ask questions. My next guest, Kim Witczak, tragically lost her husband 21 years ago and is here to share her story. She's a global drug safety advocate.
Mon, September 16, 2024
Gary Frayter, Social Media for Celebrities, Executives & CEO's | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I was growing up in the '70s and '80s, I couldn’t name a single CEO. They weren’t household names like they are today—everyone knows Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Cuban.

Joining me in the studio is someone who knows this well—Gary Frayter, who handles social media for celebrities, executives, and CEOs.

Fri, September 13, 2024

Thu, September 12, 2024
Benjamin Thomas, Author of Glory of Eden | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's a lot of division in the world today. Looking at our own country and the recent election debate, it's clear how polarized things have become. Many are even discussing the end times, including my guest, Benjamin Thomas, author of Glory of Eden.
Tue, September 10, 2024
Joel Trammell, CEO-S | The Jeff Crilley Show
You're the CEO of a very small company, and then it begins to grow. Whatever tools you were using in your toolkit when the company was small don't work when it's a mid-sized company.

Tue, September 10, 2024
Blair Bravo, Thrive | The Loop ATX | The Jeff Crilley Show
If you watch the news at all, you see a lot of negative stuff being said about Gen Z. They're entitled. Do they come into a company and immediately ask for the corner office? That's not true for my next guest. I'm going to call her the queen of Gen Z because she is a networking fiend and has kind of taken over Austin. Blair Bravo joins us in the studio today.
Tue, September 10, 2024

Kent Taggart, Co-Founder & CEO of Mender | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, I've got a question for you. We're very good at advancing technology. If you have last year's iPhone, it's already outdated. But think about these big companies that invest millions of dollars in tech. What do they do with the tech after it's no longer useful? You can't just throw it in a dumpster. There's too much data on it. So what do you do? You turn to a guy like my next guest, Kent Taggart. He is the co-founder and CEO of Mender.
Mon, September 09, 2024
Carson Gibbons, Chief Executive Organizer of DallasMeetup | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've been networking for the last couple of decades, and I can't tell you how many groups have come and gone.

Carson Gibbons is the Chief Executive Organizer for DallasMeetup.
Mon, September 09, 2024
Ken Rundus, CEO-S | The Jeff Crilley Show
I worked for a large corporation for 25 years before going out on my own and becoming a CEO. Well, it is lonely at the top. If you're having money issues or personnel issues, who do you talk to? You can't talk to your friends from corporate America. They don't relate. That's why sometimes you need to join an excellent CEO roundtable. Someone who knows about that is Ken Rundus with CEO-S.
Mon, September 09, 2024
Barbara Patterson, Drives an Uber to lead passengers to Christ | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, September 09, 2024
Jewels Clark, CEO of How to be Social | The Jeff Crilley Show
I haven't always been outgoing. I remember being fairly shy as a child. But then, in high school, I met a guy who inspired me to be more outgoing.

Somebody who knows my journey because she lived it as well is Jules Clarke. She is the CEO of How to Be Social.

Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, New York Times Bestselling Authors | The Jeff Crilley Show
We live in a very noisy world. It gets louder every single day, and it seems like everybody is talking and no one is listening. And that may be the number one cause of divorce.

Tue, September 03, 2024
Blaine Cook, Cook Commercial Realty | The Jeff Crilley Show
The last two years have been relatively rough for commercial real estate. Part of it has to do with Covid and the back-to-work, back-to-the-office. But when you talk about commercial, it's not just office space. There are warehouses, there's industrial, there's a lot of commercial real estate out there, and especially here in Dallas-Fort Worth. To discuss that is Blaine Cook. He heads up Cook Commercial Realty.
Tue, September 03, 2024
Umo Callins, Well Rooted Health and Nutrition | The Jeff Crilley Show
I find it fascinating that we know more about how the human body works than we ever have in the history of mankind, and yet we have a nation of people who are sometimes obese, wired, tired, not sleeping well, and overstressed. And so, how do we have all this knowledge and don't implement it? Our next guest knows all about that, Umo Callins is with Well Rooted Health and Nutrition.

Michelle Dean, Mindscape Mental Health | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember growing up in the 60s and 70s and into the 80s when I went to college, and you didn't hear about mental health. It just wasn't a thing. And nobody wanted to say, hey, I'm having some mental health issues because back then, oh, you didn't want anybody to think you're crazy.

Ely Delaney, Automated Systems Strategist | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a fan of AI, and I know a lot of people who are relying on and doubling down on AI. However, there's something personal about real connections. How many people have you run into who brag about the 10,000 connections on LinkedIn, but when you ask them to name a few, they give you this deer-in-the-headlights look? It's not about high tech but about high touch. My next guest believes this as well. Ely Delaney is an automated systems strategist.
Mon, August 26, 2024

Thu, August 22, 2024
Michael Sherrod, TCU Neeley School of Business | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I graduated from Michigan State in the 80s, they didn't have an entrepreneurship class. I think the message was, go get a job in corporate America, keep your nose clean, and don't get fired. But these days, all major universities are introducing entrepreneurs into their curriculum. One of the most respected schools in the country is the TCU Neeley School of Business. Michael Sherrod is in the studio.

Thu, August 22, 2024
Tom Sherman, Branch Manager at Benchmark Mortgage | The Jeff Crilley Show
We had low interest rates for years, and it was easy to sell homes. Then suddenly, you had this spike in inflation, and so many people were sitting in a house that they couldn't wait to get rid of. But now, the fed may start easing here shortly, and I think that will unleash a lot of pent-up demand. Somebody who agrees with me is my next guest, Tom Sherman, Branch Manager at Benchmark Mortgage.
Wed, August 21, 2024
Dr. Robin Perry Braun, President of Integrated Life Strategies | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think I speak for millions of Americans who wonder about COVID-19, all the advice we were getting from the federal government and all the pills we were being made to take during COVID-19.

Tue, August 20, 2024
Cindy Hyde, MA MFT, LPC, Living Strong Counseling | The Jeff Crilley Show
We've all heard the term narcissist, but it's being thrown about more often now than ever before. I have a theory.

Cindy Hyde with Living Strong Counseling joins us to discuss that.

Maylee Gray, CEO at Top Shelf Tending | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, August 20, 2024

Luke Suminski, CFP®, APMA®, CDFA®, Encircle Wealth Advisors | The Jeff Crilley Show
Divorce is so painful that it rips apart families. What it also does is set people back on their heels when it comes to their finances.

Wed, August 14, 2024
Eason Maykus, Maykus Homes | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have this obsession with excellence. Everything has to be correct. If I'm walking down the halls here at Real News and see a little speck of something on the carpet that doesn't look like it belongs, I'm the guy who goes down, picks it up, and puts it in the trash. I'm obsessed with excellence, and so I admire other people who have that same gene, like Eason Maykus with Maykus Homes.
Wed, August 14, 2024

Jacqueline Campbell, MA, LPC-S, Leadership Development and Corporate Trainer | The Jeff Crilley Show
I grew up in an all-loving household. Dad is a minister, and Mom is a preacher's wife, so I never heard yelling.

Neil Katz, Exceptional HR Solutions | The Jeff Crilley Show

Shawn Tuma, Cybersecurity Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show
We all watch the news daily, there's another hack attack, and we all say the same thing to ourselves. Can we not stay one step ahead of the hackers?

Jordan D'Silva, CEO of Web City Properties | The Jeff Crilley Show
Some of the wealthiest people on the planet got their money in real estate investing. I think about even Jerry Jones.

Wed, August 07, 2024
Michelle O'Neil, Author/Speaker/Award-Winning Attorney | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, August 06, 2024
Dave Batt, PredictView | The Jeff Crilley Show
Let's face it, all social media companies are trying to make a buck. They're trying to keep you on their platform as long as possible. The problem with that is, let's suppose you started to search for Robin Williams's suicide. They begin to feed you more of that stuff. And if you're already having some mental health issues or some stress, suddenly, they call that doom scrolling. Somebody to discuss that is Dave Batt with PredictView.
Mon, August 05, 2024
Joe Atkins, Joe Atkins Realty | The Jeff Crilley Show
As we speak, a lot is going on in the market. Stock markets around the planet are cratering right now, which has created some anxiety. On the positive side, it may fuel more momentum for the Fed to start lowering interest rates. And we'll hear from my next guest to confirm this. I'm convinced that many people have been sitting on the fence. They've just been waiting for permission to make that home sale. Joe Atkins, with Joe Atkins Realty, is in the studio.
Mon, August 05, 2024
Scott Allen Curley, Author/Keynote Speaker/Mentor | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think you'll agree that every day, we come to a fork in the road. We can go to the right or the left. You make choices as you go along, and sometimes, you can find yourself going down the wrong path. My next guest knows a lot about that. Scott Allen Curley is an author, keynote speaker, mentor, and friend.
Tue, July 30, 2024
Dr. Juan Gonzalez, Vice Provost for Global Engagement at UT Dallas | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I got to Dallas in 1992, UT Dallas had an excellent reputation, but it was still something of a local campus, drawing students from a 30-mile radius. Now, it has become so global. The Vice Provost for International Engagement, Dr. Juan Gonzalez, is here to discuss that.
Mon, July 29, 2024
Geni Manning, Realtor/Certified Divorce Specialist | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've often said on this show that the media can scare people into sitting on their wallets or opening their wallets. And the media has done a pretty good job in the last two years of scaring people about home sales and buying homes. We've seen so many cycles here in Texas in the past few decades that next year could be good for people who want to get into a home. Geni Manning, a realtor and certified divorce specialist, knows that very well.
Mon, July 29, 2024
Sara Schroeder, Sara Schroeder Coaching | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love the late, great Zig Ziglar quote, "You got to eliminate the stinking thinking." And so much of what happens in our lives isn't what somebody said to us, but the fact that we replayed it 100 times in our head. Or we did something wrong and then spent the rest of the day beating ourselves up. So much of how you approach life is the story that you're telling yourself. My next guest, Sarah Schroeder, an executive life coach and my friend, knows that very well.
Mon, July 29, 2024
Tricia Holderman, CEO at Elite Facility Systems | The Jeff Crilley Show

Fri, July 26, 2024
Frank Roberson, The Black Rhino Group | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, July 25, 2024
WiL Turner, Men's Health, Fitness, Relationship, and Lifestyle Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
When we have an obesity epidemic in this country, it's surprising because we know more about how the body works than ever before. The problem is that there's just so much crazy advice out there. If you start following TikTok influencers every week, they're coming out with a new fad diet or fad exercise. And so much of that comes down to living a healthy lifestyle. WiL Turner knows all about that. He is a men's health, fitness, relationship, and lifestyle coach.
Thu, July 25, 2024
Bert Vergez - Colonel (RET), P3 Builds | The Jeff Crilley Show

Jeanna Davis, JMD Enterprises & Associates | The Jeff Crilley Show
On this show, we feature many nonprofits, and my heart goes out to them because they're doing so many amazing things, and raising money almost becomes a full-time job. One overlooked area of their business is often grant writing. Today, Jeanna Davis, the founder and CEO of JMD Enterprises & Associates, is here to discuss this.
Tue, July 23, 2024
Dana Prewitt, M.B.A., CEO of L.I.F.E. Development Community | The Jeff Crilley Show
Unfortunately, we see a lot of homeless people here in Dallas-Fort Worth. It always tugs at my heartstrings when I see a homeless person who has a sign saying, veteran. I think about that person, whether it is a male or female, who put their lives on the line for our country, and now they are homeless. Somebody who shares that same feeling is my next guest, Dana Prewitt, CEO of the L.I.F.E. Development Community.
Mon, July 22, 2024
Dr. Brooke Jones, Founder & President of Stronger Women | The Jeff Crilley Show
During my two and a half decades in TV news, unfortunately, I covered far too many domestic violence calls. Often, it would be a standoff with police. And those are just the calls that we know about. There are so many people who are suffering in silence even today. Someone trying to shed light on this problem is my next guest, Dr. Brooke Jones, the founder and president of Stronger Women.
Mon, July 22, 2024
Antoniette Roze, CEO of WPC Global Speakers & Trainers | The Jeff Crilley Show
I wrote a book in 2002. In addition to my TV job, I went around like a crazy man giving 300 speeches a year for six straight years. I sold 70,000 copies of a $10 book, which launched this PR firm. This experience gave me a great respect for the speaking industry and the people who do it at the highest level. They have to be on, no matter their personal life. Somebody who knows that well is Antoniette Roze, CEO of WPC Global Speakers & Trainers.
Fri, July 19, 2024

Fri, July 19, 2024
Jim Shields, Founder/CEO of The Shields Group | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've seen on the news that we're in the middle of the most significant transfer of wealth in human history. There's an old Chinese proverb that the first generation makes the money, the second generation tries to preserve it because they saw mom and dad work so hard, and by the third generation, they've squandered it. That is still true today. Jim Shields is the founder and CEO of The Shields Group.
Thu, July 18, 2024
Lloyd Banks, Keynote Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've got a confession. I'm such a pleaser. I like to say yes to people. I always want to please people, and I often over-commit. I join too many boards and associations, and suddenly, I don't have time to put my oxygen mask on first. I need to learn how to quit more often. Lloyd Banks is an expert on that, he is an international keynote speaker.
Wed, July 17, 2024
James Weiss, Big Drop Inc | The Jeff Crilley Show

Wed, July 17, 2024
Jason Roberson, Mayor of the City of Forney | The Jeff Crilley Show
A decade ago, I had the privilege of doing some PR work for the town of Forney. At the time, they hired me because nobody knew where they were. I guess the secret is out because everybody is moving to Forney. According to the Dallas Business Journal, it is the top town in North Texas in terms of percentage of growth. The secret is out, and today, we speak with the mayor of the City of Forney, Jason Roberson.
Tue, July 16, 2024
Kezhal Dashti, Dashti Media | The Jeff Crilley Show
Have you ever met somebody and felt like you've known them your whole life? That describes my next guest, and it's because we share so many things in common. We both did the TV news thing and now we're both entrepreneurs. I want you to meet my next guest, Kezhal Dashti, with Dashti Media.
Tue, July 16, 2024
Jonathan Thorp, Chief Learning Officer at Quantum Connections | The Jeff Crilley Show
What happened to civility? Don't you remember when everybody talked and listened, and there was a give-and-take? And social media has only amplified this. So many comments on social media may not be something the person believes, but they're trying to get enough likes and shares. Jonathan Thorp, Chief Learning Officer at Quantum Connections, is somebody on a mission to change.
Wed, July 10, 2024
Daniel Rhodes, Crime Scene Investigator | The Jeff Crilley Show
During my career in TV news, I covered some significant cases and just happened to cover a few cases that my next guest also covered. But he was on the other side. I'm covering it as a reporter, and he is covering it as a crime scene investigator. Daniel Rhodes is in the studio and has more than 40 years of experience in law enforcement.
Wed, July 10, 2024
Dennis Johnson and Sonja Singer, Bohemian Bull | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a big fan of the TV show cheers. I will sometimes watch the entire run of 10 seasons back to back to back to back. And there's something about a place where everybody knows your name: a neighborhood bar, a restaurant, a cozy feel. A couple who knows that well is Dennis Johnson and Sonja Singer, and they invested in a wonderful company called Bohemian Bull.
Wed, July 10, 2024
Meg Rentschler, MSW, PCC, Executive and Mentor Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show

Wed, July 10, 2024
Terrance Stephens, Model / Actor / Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show
Well, there's good news. If you want a break in the modeling industry, you no longer have to be a size zero. That's so 1970s. The modeling industry is changing, and they're looking for regular people. A lot of that is driven by social media. You just don't trust something that's too glossy and perfect. Terrance Stephens, a model, actor, and coach, will discuss this with us.
Wed, July 10, 2024
Kim Maher, The Magic Train | The Jeff Crilley Show
The real estate market has had its challenges all over the country. It is not so much in North Texas, but certainly all over. It's been slow, at least slower than it was two years ago. My theory is that anytime the economy gets slow, it weeds out the people who watched Million Dollar Listing, saw the commissions, and thought it was that easy. So, as some realtors leave the market, the strong survive. My next guest is such a person, Kim Maher is with The Magic Train.
Wed, July 10, 2024
Gauri Junnarkar, Nutrition and Wellness Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think you would all agree with me that we've got problems in our society that go way beyond who the president is. We all have a stress epidemic going on. We're over-medicating ourselves sometimes with alcohol or caffeine. We're wired. We're tired. To talk about that today is Gauri Junnarkar, a health living expert.
Tue, July 09, 2024
Francoise Mattice and Carl Hart, Millbank Capital | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm sure you've heard about the largest transfer of wealth in human history. You have all these baby boomers who are exiting the workforce and passing on their wealth to the millennials and Gen z's. But often, they are not interested in Mom and Dad's business. So, you need private equity firms to come in and sort this all out. I can't think of a better guest to talk about this than Francoise Mattice and Carl Hart from Millbank Capital.
Tue, July 09, 2024
Adrienne McCurry, Mimosa Lane | The Jeff Crilley Show
I can't think of a more crowded market space than skincare. You go to any grocery store or pharmacy, and there are aisles and aisles of skincare products that are promising this and that. Often, you find yourself with 15 bottles on your sink that are all a part of your nighttime routine. Somebody who wants to change that is Adrienne McCurry with Mimosa Lane.
Tue, July 09, 2024
Sarah Carrillo and Dave Baxter, Gameday Men's Health Grapevine | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am sixty years old and have no intention of ever getting old. I've been on an anti-aging program for about a decade, and I can honestly tell you, in my mind, I feel 22. People who are equally as passionate about this subject are my next guests, Sarah Carrillo and Dave Baxter with Gameday Men's Health, who are in the studio.
Tue, July 09, 2024
Victoria Gonzalez, Careity | The Jeff Crilley Show
Virtually every family in America has been touched by cancer. When you get a cancer diagnosis, not only is your mind swimming with what could happen, but in many cases, you might not have the insurance necessary to pay those bills. That can be devastating to an already stressful situation. Someone who knows this very well is Victoria Gonzalez with Variety.
Tue, July 09, 2024
Monika Hengesbach, Decision Financial Services, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
I believe in paying taxes, but nobody believes in paying more than their fair share. Unfortunately, taxes are often an afterthought for individuals and business owners. Today, Monika Hengesbach with Decision Financial Services will discuss that.
Mon, July 08, 2024
Irving Chung, FranGuidance | The Jeff Crilley Show
I spent 25 years in TV news, had a fantastic career, and did some wonderful things. But I must be honest with you: I've never been happier being an entrepreneur and my own boss.

Mon, July 08, 2024
Aaron Perlut, Clay Mudd, and Brian McCary, Atomic Junkshot | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always been fascinated with music and bands. Some have soared to the heights of their industries, while others just remain garage bands. It's a complicated industry, and it's complicated to get it right. In the studio today are three members of Atomic Junkshot: Aaron Perlut, Clay Mudd, and Brian McCary.
Mon, July 08, 2024
Maggie Eckburg, The EG Life | The Jeff Crilley Show
One of my favorite expressions is that it's not how many times you get knocked down; it's how many times you get up. Unfortunately, we're all going to get knocked down. And some people stay down. It could be the loss of a loved one or a health scare, but if you stay down, that's not what life is about. And that's not what God wants for all of us. My next guest, Maggie Eckburg with The EG Life, would agree.
Tue, July 02, 2024
Michael Hershenberg, The Hershenberg Group | The Jeff Crilley Show
As a member of the media for 25 years, I can tell you that the media often scares people and puts out headlines that are fairly misleading when we talk about real estate as a country. That's one thing. There's another thing. When you talk about real estate in Texas, it continues to be one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. And someone who knows that very well is Michael Hershenberg with The Hershenburg Group.
Mon, July 01, 2024
Monica Ashour, The Theology of the Body Evangelization Team | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am a proud Catholic, and I have discovered that North Texas has such a vibrant Catholic community that I'm always running into people with amazing stories. My next guest has just such a story. Monica Ashour is with TOBET, The Theology of the Body Evangelization Team.
Mon, July 01, 2024
Rebecca Cox, GRACE Grapevine | The Jeff Crilley Show
Most people would agree with me that there are two economies. The stock market is hitting new highs every day, unemployment is low, and yet the average American and those in the poverty zone are struggling. They're living paycheck to paycheck. So, when they see these highs and lows, it doesn't apply to them. Then something happens, like their rent being raised, and suddenly, they are in turmoil. They turn to my next guest, Rebecca Cox, with GRACE Grapevine.
Mon, July 01, 2024
Greg Roberts, The Roberts Consulting Agency LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
How many small business owners can relate to this problem? You're cruising along, and then a couple of clients don't pay you on time, suddenly, you have a cash crunch. If you go to your bank and want an extension on your line of credit or a small business loan, then you get told no. What does that person do? They turn to my next guest, Greg Roberts, with The Roberts Consulting Group.
Fri, June 28, 2024
Phillip Brown, Fully Promoted | The Jeff Crilley Show

Fri, June 28, 2024
Jorge Ferraez, Publisher of Latino Leaders | The Jeff Crilley Show
It's the fastest-growing demographic in America, and unfortunately, many of its success stories are not being told. My next guest is someone who's on a mission to change that. Jorge Ferraez, the publisher of Latino Leaders, is in the studio.
Thu, June 27, 2024
Ian Feuer, President/CEO of One CommunityUSA | The Jeff Crilley Show
The late Toni Brinker appeared on my show a few years ago. She said, "Jeff, there's a distrust between the cops and the community, and we need to bring some healing together." She worked tirelessly to make that come true, and it made a profound difference on this planet. Then, tragically, she died in April, and the whole organization has now been turned over to Ian Feuer, the president and CEO of One CommunityUSA.
Mon, June 24, 2024
Cory Losier, Author of Born a Loser | The Jeff Crilley Show
First, we had the pandemic, and then another pandemic, and it's flying under the radar screen. It's the pandemic of mental health issues and addiction. So many people were at home, day drinking and abusing their bodies. And now, we are starting to see that bubble up. Cory Losier, author of Born a Loser, knows that very well.
Mon, June 24, 2024
Lekhana Reddy, Founder & CEO of Storytelling by Data | The Jeff Crilley Show
There is a stereotype that entrepreneurs and influencers are outgoing by nature. They were born with a camera in their hands and always wanted to share their story with the world. My next guest is a fish out of water. She's a data person who found herself an influencer. Lekhana Reddy is the founder and CEO of Storytelling by Data.
Mon, June 24, 2024
Paul Peters, Author & Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
We're all guilty of this, are we? We tell ourselves the wrong story. We have some setbacks. It could be the loss of a loved one or the loss of a marriage, and we tell ourselves the wrong story for so long. Sometimes, it can impair you for the rest of your life. Someone who knows a lot about this is my next guest, Paul Peters, an author and speaker.
Mon, June 24, 2024
Amy Juneau, House of Higher | The Jeff Crilley Show
I had a 25-year news career, and I worked in many places: Lansing, Omaha, Minneapolis, and Dallas. I was onboarded several times to different companies, and the onboarding process was a little scattered, to be honest. I remember waiting to get business cards at one of my stations for over a year. It can be an afterthought when it comes to the hiring process. Amy Juneau, with House of Higher, knows that very well.
Fri, June 21, 2024
Scott Turner, Community Engagement and Opportunity Council | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've had many NFL Alumni on my show, but for many of them, the NFL career was the highlight of their lives. And it ends after they get injured or retire from the league. My next guest was just getting started when he retired from the NFL. Scott Turner, with Community Engagement and Opportunity Council, is in the studio.
Fri, June 21, 2024
Damien Fortune, CEO of Sentriqs | The Jeff Crilley Show
Every day, you hear about another hack attack in the news, leaving us scratching our heads, saying, why can we not stay one step ahead of the hackers? Somebody who knows a lot about this is Damien Fortune, CEO of Sentriqs.
Thu, June 20, 2024
Brandy Schade, Strenthology Leadership Consulting | The Jeff Crilley Show
I know my strengths. I have yet to be tested, but my strengths are communication skills, I'm an extrovert, and I love meeting people. My weakness is that I hate to lead. And that's why I hired others to run this company. I get to own the company and do the fun stuff, which is interviewing people. But knowing your strengths is half the battle. Brandy Schade, with Strengthology Leadership Consultant, is in the studio.
Mon, June 17, 2024
Steve Trammell, Executive Director of Amazon Outreach | The Jeff Crilley Show
As I've said many times on this show, my dad and brother are ministers, so faith is a big part of my life. And anytime I meet somebody who's doing the Lord's work, I want to bring them on the show. Steve Trammell is the Executive Director of Amazon Outreach and is in the studio.
Fri, June 14, 2024

Fri, June 14, 2024
Mike Daley, President of Texas Financial and Health Awareness | The Jeff Crilley Show
Medicare has been around since the mid-'60s, yet I think there's a lot of misinformation out there, and some qualified people don't even apply. And it is just so sad to talk about that today. Mike Daley is the president of the Texas Financial and Health Awareness.
Thu, June 13, 2024

Thu, June 13, 2024
Dr. Julie Shannon, Author of The Winds of Change | The Jeff Crilley Show
Let's face it: we're all climbing some kind of mountain. But occasionally, you find yourself in the valley: divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job. Unfortunately, too many people stay in the valley. They have self-pity and self-doubt and are paralyzed by this fear that has been injected into their life.
Wed, June 12, 2024
Becky Baker, The Casual Critics | The Jeff Crilley Show
In the early days of running this company, I met all my clients. I knew every single person who came in this door.

I made a promise that I'm going to use my show to meet all of the people who are investing their hard-earned money in my network. Becky Baker is in the studio today, she is one of the hosts of the Casual Critics.
Wed, June 12, 2024
Will Anderson, Editor in Chief, Dallas Business Journal | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a big fan of the Dallas Business Journal, partly because we partner with them. We're their television partner, mainly because they know what they're doing and do it right. While many newspapers are closing across the country, their circulation is declining. Every single year the DBJ circulation increases a little bit. One of the reasons for that is my next guest, Will Anderson, the Editor in Chief of the Dallas Business Journal.
Tue, June 11, 2024
Dr. Sherry Yellin, Speaker, Coach & Author | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I was growing up, bosses said it was my way or the highway, and that's how life was. But these days, people don't want to be managed. They want to be mentored. That creates a leadership crisis for many companies. They have to get with the program. Somebody who knows that very well is Dr. Sherry Yellin, a speaker, coach, and author.
Tue, June 11, 2024
Houston Harris, Swingle Collins and Associates | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, June 10, 2024
Alberto Lombardi, Lombardi Family Concepts | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've interviewed many successful people on my show, but I have to tell you, I'm truly blown away by my next guest because he continues to reinvent himself and grow his empire rather than coasting, which many of us would do with his level of success. Alberto Lombardi with Lombardi Family Concepts is in the studio.
Mon, June 10, 2024
D'Andra Simmons, Actress, CEO, and Host of "Simply Simmons" | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, June 06, 2024
Timmy Newsome, Founder/CTO at Newtec Business Solutions | The Jeff Crilley Show
I grew up in Detroit, and during those years, the Detroit Lions were so bad that I had to root for a winning team. And, of course, I chose the Cowboys. I've been a Cowboys fan for as long as I can remember. And I remember watching this young man during the 80s. Timmy Newsome is in the studio today.
Thu, June 06, 2024
Dena Miller, Prestonwood Polo & Country Club | The Jeff Crilley Show

Wed, June 05, 2024
Chris Baylor, Commercial Portrait & Sports Photographer | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, June 04, 2024
Dwight and Rose Harvey, Off the Bone Barbeque | The Jeff Crilley Show

Leonardo Pisani, Sami Selections LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
The most fascinating thing about wine is that every country is so proud of its wine. If you talk to someone from France, French wines are the best. Somebody from Germany will tell you that German wines are the best. If you speak to somebody from the US, they might say California. But I am talking to a true connoisseur today. He is one of the nation's leading experts on Italian wines. Leonardo Pisani is with Sami Selections.

Maya Ratcliff, Hawaii Fluid Art | The Jeff Crilley Show
When you think about franchises, people often say McDonald's, right? Well, not all franchises are in the food space.

Maya Ratcliff is the owner and founder of Hawaii Fluid Art.

Brandon Ward, CEO of Keysha AI | The Jeff Crilley Show
We live in a world of apps. There are literally billions of apps out there. But how do you separate yourself from other people? You do that by solving a problem that just about everybody has. And that problem is how do you organize your life? In the studio right now is Brandon Ward, CEO of Keysha AI, who has put everything together for us.
Thu, May 30, 2024
James Terry, Chief of Staff, Indeed Flex US | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm a baby boomer, so my generation always says, well, that's how it's always been done. I love Gen Z and millennials because they look at something and say, why would you do it that way? When looking for a job, you have all these sites, but that industry definitely needed some disruption. James Terry, the Chief of Staff for Indeed Flex US, is in the studio.
Thu, May 30, 2024
Allison Tremblay, Stemtree of North Dallas | The Jeff Crilley Show
Tell me if this story sounds familiar: A student graduates from college with a degree in 18th-century literature, and what will they do with that degree? If I had a young person in my life right now, I would say Stem. It's got to be computers, graphics, AI, and robotics because that's the future. Somebody who knows a lot about that and believes the same way I do is my next guest, Allison Tremblay, the owner of Stemtree of North Dallas.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Chonnie Richey, Founder of Independence Gardens | The Jeff Crilley Show
Dallas Fort Worth is one of the most affluent communities in the whole nation. People don't think about food deserts here, about the lack of fresh produce and available food. One person who certainly does is my next guest, Chonnie Richey, the founder of Independence Gardens.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Daniel Paschke, Victory Financial Group | The Jeff Crilley Show
It's sad that so many Americans work their whole lives. They get to be 65 or 70, and they simply don't have enough money to retire. In fact, some will retire, but then two or three years later, they are back in the workforce because they've got to pay bills. Daniel Paschke, with Victory Financial Group, knows something about that.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Darren Palmer, Self Publish -N- 30 Days | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's an old saying in the book world called the one-day novel. I will write a novel one day, and that day never comes.

Someone who will change your thoughts on that is my next guest, Darren Palmer, with Self Publish -N- 30 Days.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Tante Williams, Legacy Planning Expert | The Jeff Crilley Show
As you saw in that intro, I spent a lifetime in TV news, 25 years. I got to the top of the little mountain I was climbing at TV news, looked around, and wondered if that was all there was. So, I had the nerve to quit TV news, walk away from the only thing I knew in 2008, and start this company. My legacy is helping other people tell their stories. One story we will tell right now is Tante Williams, a legacy planning expert.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Greg and Julie Coon, Cardiac Crusade | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, May 28, 2024
Julie Brown, Networking Coach & Keynote Speaker | The Jeff Crilley Show
There's an old saying that says you have to circulate to percolate, and I know so many people who do their networking on their computers. They like to brag that they have 10,000 followers and connections on LinkedIn. But if you ask them, how many of them do you actually know? How many do you have a relationship with? They give you a very confused look. Julie Brown is a networking coach, keynote speaker, and my friend.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Neetu Rishi, CEO & Founder of The Success Door | The Jeff Crilley Show
We all live in a Ken and Barbie world. When you're a little girl, you're playing with these perfect dolls, beginning self-discovery, and having a conversation with yourself. Sometimes, even starting at age three or four, you're already telling yourself a negative story. Somebody who's trying to change the conversation around beauty inside and out is my next guest, Neetu Rishi, the CEO & Founder of The Success Door.
Tue, May 28, 2024
Nick Ovilvie, Luxe Blades, LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
For many years, our small backyard was regular grass. Then, a couple of years ago, my wife convinced us to go with artificial turf, and we saved thousands of dollars instead of paying a guy to mow. I'm a big fan; it's the future. A guy who knows that very well is Nick Ogilvie with Luxe Blades.
Fri, May 24, 2024
Alda Boiani, Owner of 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm sure you've seen the flooding on the news in Brazil—the worst in recorded history. But for many of us, we don't know people from Brazil. We see that as somebody else's problem. Alda Boiani is in the studio right now, and that subject is extremely close to home for her. She owns 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, and they are holding an event to help those in need in Brazil.
Thu, May 23, 2024
Kalpesh Patel, On Point Acupuncture & Wellness | The Jeff Crilley Show
You would all agree that Big Pharma is so powerful right now in the US that so much of Western medicine is training doctors to pull out a prescription pad and write a prescription for a pill. And not every ailment can be cured with a pill. My next guest knows that very well because he was a patient and then took on a practice. Kalpesh Patel with On Point Acupuncture & Wellness is in the studio.
Wed, May 22, 2024
Ian Loomer, President of the Dallas Producers Association | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, May 21, 2024
Guy Charles and Taylor Manning, Teleios Financial | The Jeff Crilley Show
I can't think of a more crowded market in North Texas than financial services. I don't know if there are more financial services firms or Starbucks. There's one on every street corner. It takes some courageous people and people of faith to stand out in a crowded market. That describes my next guests, Guy Charles and Taylor Manning, with Teleios Financial.
Tue, May 21, 2024

Carol Marcus-Rehtmeyer, UT Dallas Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Fri, May 17, 2024
Ryan Peabody, Peabody Law Firm | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, May 16, 2024
Eron Zehavi, Coach, Potentiator, Catalyst | The Jeff Crilley Show
I often say they don't make Hollywood movies about people born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would watch that movie. They make movies like Rocky and Million Dollar Baby, and it's all about overcoming adversity. For many of us, when we get a setback, we have to ask ourselves, why did this happen to us, and what am I supposed to learn from this? Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Eron Zehavi, a good friend and a personal and professional coach.
Thu, May 16, 2024
Massimo Pauri & Andrea Casati, Pauri & Casati | The Jeff Crilley Show
I had the honor of speaking to the Southlake Chamber about three weeks ago, and one of the title sponsors did a video and I was just blown away.

Massimo Pauri and Andrea Casati are the owners of Pauri & Casati.
Wed, May 15, 2024
Jeniece Paige, Black Vegan Health & Wellness | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have to confess I am a meat lover—a carnivore. I think I tried vegan for one meal, and it didn't take with me. But everybody I've talked to who's gone vegan swears by it. My next guest is such a person. Jeniece Paige is with Black Vegan Health and Wellness.
Wed, May 15, 2024
Jacob Miles, "The Prince of Play" | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember being a huge $6 Million Man fan in the seventies, and they came up with this really cool doll where you could remove the latex and see his bionic arm. And he also had a bionic eye. It was really, really cool. I'm geeking out a little bit because the man behind that doll is sitting in my studio right now, Jacob Miles, the prince of play.
Wed, May 15, 2024
Trinidad Aguirre, CEO & Co-Founder of VetsForever LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
Over the course of my news career, I know I've done dozens of reports about VA medical centers, the backlogs, and the fact that many veterans who could qualify for benefits aren't even applying. It's a mess. To talk about that today is Trinidad Aguirre, CEO and Co-Founder of VetsForever.
Tue, May 14, 2024
Jim Pancero, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Speaker & Thought Leader | The Jeff Crilley Show
I run into people all the time who say I'm not a salesperson. Then, I see they have a ring on, so of course, you're a salesperson. You made the ultimate sale. She said yes! So people that associate salespeople with used car salesmen have some of what Zig Zigler would call stinkin' thinkin'. Today, Jim Pancero is here to discuss that. He is a hall-of-fame speaker and a national thought leader in sales.
Tue, May 14, 2024
Tama Tran, MSN, NP-C, Lily Med Spa | The Jeff Crilley Show
We all know people in their forties who look like they're in their eighties and vice versa.

Fri, May 10, 2024
Dr. Karen Koepp, Koepp Research Corporation | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember when I was growing up, I probably could no name a single Fortune 500 CEO. They were just these random people running these big companies, these days. They've become household names. Who doesn't know Mark Cuban? Mark Zuckerburg? Elon Musk? They've become rock stars, and so has the C-suite. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Dr. Karen Koepp, with Koepp Research Corporation.
Fri, May 10, 2024
Ann Ranson, Coach, Consultant, and Facilitator | The Jeff Crilley Show
We're all guilty of this from time to time. You're on the hamster wheel, trying to pay some bills and feed your family, and then suddenly, you wake up, and a decade has passed. I think all of us need to slow down and really take an inventory of what matters. My next guest knows that very well and is very passionate about it. Ann Ranson is a coach, consultant, and facilitator, and she joins us in the studio today.

Thu, May 09, 2024
Mita Shah Bhagat, Leadership for the Future | The Jeff Crilley Show
This happens very often in many companies. You have a great salesperson who is thriving at sales, so you make him or her the manager of the sales team, and then suddenly, they need to read a book on leadership and have no way of managing this team. This leads to toxic behavior on behalf of the manager and the employees. Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Mita Shah Bhagat, with Leadership for the Future.
Thu, May 09, 2024
Andy Turner, Rubicon City Studios | The Jeff Crilley Show
You'll agree with me that Hollywood has lost its originality. They made bold films years ago, but they play it safe these days. They take a cartoon that we watched in the seventies and remake it. It's very formulaic. Somebody who's trying to change his industry, and he is a true disruptor, Andy Turner with Rubicon City Studios.
Thu, May 09, 2024

Mon, May 06, 2024
Scott Coburn, CMO of Patriot Mobile | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I think about mission-driven companies, I think about companies like Chick-fil-A. There's a reason they're not open on a Sunday, and everybody knows they have delicious sandwiches.

Mon, May 06, 2024

Mon, May 06, 2024
Hirbod Bigvand, Serial Startup Founder | The Jeff Crilley Show
I run into a lot of people who like to blame other things beyond their power for their circumstances. They say, well, if only this person were in the White House, or if only this thing were happening on Wall Street, I would be successful. But it takes somebody to immigrate legally to this country and teach us about the great American dream. And that describes my next guest, Hirbod Bigvand, a serial startup founder.
Mon, May 06, 2024
Mick Hawton, MPA, Ambassador for CIEDAR | The Jeff Crilley Show
I remember growing up watching The Jetsons, and everything looked so futuristic at the time. But I think if you go back through the entire series and start looking at each one of those crazy devices, half of them are in our lives right now. Who would have imagined that we'd have a cell phone that was also a camera, a video camera, and the World Wide Web? The very smart people at Texas State University know that. Mick Hawton, Ambassador for the CIEDAR Consortium, is joining me today.
Mon, May 06, 2024
Steve Bell, M.A., LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor | The Jeff Crilley Show
I would submit that it's always been tough to be a cop, but it's more tough today because of this thing in everybody's hands. There are cameras all over the place, and officers realize they are always on camera, which creates a lot of stress. Steve Bell joins us today to discuss that. He is a retired officer of 41 years in law enforcement, including here in Dallas, and is a licensed professional counselor.
Thu, May 02, 2024
Miranda Emery, Todd Reimer, & Jody Smith, Cornerstone Staffing | The Jeff Crilley Show
I am a confessed excellence freak. The only thing that drives me crazy as the owner of this company is if we're not being excellent. The team knows that every single day, we're going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our clients are happy. That's why I invited these three into the studio today: Miranda Emery, Todd Reimer, and Jody Smith with Cornerstone Staffing.
Thu, May 02, 2024

Ronak Patel, The Franchise Consulting Company | The Jeff Crilley Show

Wed, May 01, 2024

Wed, May 01, 2024
Tim McIntosh, CDFA®, Carpion Private Wealth | The Jeff Crilley Show

Megan Mescher, RN, & Dr. Rebecca Weiss, Tox & Tonic | The Jeff Crilley Show
My wife, the lovely Victoria Snee, has been getting Botox for years. She introduced me to it. I'm a fan, but I knew it was taking off 10 years ago when my 22-year-old daughter furrowed her brow and said, Daddy, do I need Botox? I thought to myself that this is going to be a hot industry. Two people who know a lot about that are Megan Mescher and Dr. Rebecca Weiss with Tox & Tonic.
Tue, April 30, 2024

Tue, April 30, 2024
Meryl K. Evans, CPACC, Speaker and Accessibility Marketing Consultant | The Jeff Crilley Show
When I wrote my book twenty years ago, I had to overcome a fear of public speaking. At one point, I gave up to 300 speeches a year in addition to my TV job. They always say the number one fear in life is public speaking; the number two fear is death. And I've died on stage, so I have accomplished both. But my next guest is someone who has overcome more hurdles than I ever could dream of overcoming. Meryl Evans is a speaker and accessibility marketing consultant.
Mon, April 29, 2024
Mark Hunter, The Sales Hunter | The Jeff Crilley Show
I hear people say all the time, I'm not a salesperson. Well, if you're married, you're a salesperson. You made the ultimate sale. But, we're always selling, aren't we? We're selling a cop on not giving us a ticket. We're selling a kid on doing his homework. We're all in sales. And somebody who knows that better than anybody I've ever met is my next guest. It's Mark Hunter, the Sales Hunter.
Mon, April 29, 2024
Heidi Soberanes, Envision Complete Fitness, LLC | The Jeff Crilley Show
I have to confess, I'm vain. I like to look good. I want to look in the mirror and say, "Man, You look good!" In order to do that, you must be strict with your diet and exercise. We all know that. There are all these fad diets, but at the end of the day, it's really about what you put into your body and how often you move it. Someone who knows a lot about that is Heidi Soberanes with Envision Complete Fitness.
Mon, April 29, 2024
Dr. Jill Feetham, Dallas Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics | The Jeff Crilley Show

Thu, April 25, 2024
Ronne Rock and Kathy Fielder, Orphan Outreach | The Jeff Crilley Show
Let's all admit that sometimes, we make life more complicated than it has to be. We complain about things like somebody cut me off in traffic or they messed up my latte at Starbucks.

Thu, April 25, 2024

Adrienne Guillory and Peter Welpton, Usability Sciences | The Jeff Crilley Show

Rudi Riekstins, Author/Speaker/Business Mentor | The Jeff Crilley Show
The late, great Zig Zigler had a famous quote: You've got to eliminate stinking thinking. Doesn't that apply to all of us? We wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and see imperfections.

Tue, April 23, 2024

Tue, April 23, 2024
Kelly Siegel, Owner of NTM National Technology Management | The Jeff Crilley Show
I grew up in Detroit, seven mile, and Eminem famously grew up in 8 mile. Nine mile was the suburbs. I remember when he came out with eight mile, I said, Dude, that's not tough. Tough is seven mile and nobody's ever seen six mile. I'm being facetious. But another guy who shares that journey is my next guest, Kelly Siegel, owner of NTM National Technology Management.
Tue, April 23, 2024
JP Piccinini, CEO of Vesuvius Holdings | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, April 23, 2024
Camille Thompson, MOM CREW - Mind Over Matter | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, April 22, 2024
Karen Gray, President of Texas Business Women, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show
As you look around the great state of Texas, you see different logos and signs that say circa 2010. Our company was founded in 2008, so one of our logos says circa 2008. Imagine heading up a business organization that can brag that it was formed in 1919. That's what Karen Gray is here to talk about. She is the president of Texas Business Women.
Mon, April 22, 2024
Ron Anderson, 7744 Ranch | The Jeff Crilley Show

Ron Anderson is the owner and founder of 7744 Ranch.
Wed, April 17, 2024
Dean McCurry, DM Auction Sevices | The Jeff Crilley Show
I've always been fascinated by auctioneers just for the way that they can talk fast, but that would be just a broad brush approach to this industry. It's much more than being able to talk fast. You're an entertainer, a fundraiser, and you really have to study the client to succeed. A man who knows a lot about that is Dean McCurry with DM Auction Services.
Wed, April 17, 2024
Dylan Rafaty, North Texas Disability Chamber | The Jeff Crilley Show

Jacob Niemeier, Vera Aqua Vera Vita | The Jeff Crilley Show

Tue, April 16, 2024

Tue, April 16, 2024
Kris Fitzgerald and Shashi Yadiki, Smart Data Solutions | The Jeff Crilley Show

Mon, April 15, 2024
Adam Lampert, CEO of Cambridge Caregivers/Manchester Care Homes | The Jeff Crilley Show

Someone who is very passionate about this issue is Adam Lampert, CEO of Cambridge Care Givers and Manchester Care Homes.

Here to talk about that is Dr. Taylor Reyes, with FIRE Physical Therapy.
Fri, March 15, 2024
Dean H. Rosencrans, The Dallas Bankers Club | The Jeff Crilley Show
I can't think of a more competitive business in North Texas than the banking business.

Kyle Sims and Dominic DePizzol, 49 Financial | The Jeff Crilley Show
This happens every day in America. Some people go to their financial planner in their mid-60's, and their financial planner says, "Unfortunately, you can not retire. You just haven't saved enough." Truly, you should begin planning in your 20's. But when you're in your 20's, you're going to live forever. You're bulletproof, right? So many Americans spend more time thinking about what movie they're going to watch or what television program they're going to watch than their retirement. To talk about that today, Kyle Sims and Dominic DePizzol, they're both with 49 Financial. *Certain appropriately licensed individuals are registered to offer advisory services through 49 Wealth Management, LLC., an SEC Registered Investment Advisor. 49 Financial does not offer tax or legal advice.

Tue, March 12, 2024
Tinja Anderson, Financial Planner, CEPA | The Jeff Crilley Show
Many Americans spend more time debating what they will have for dinner tonight rather than their finances in many homes.

Moe Rock, Publisher of The Los Angeles Tribune | The Jeff Crilley Show

Aman Singh, Kaurina's | The Jeff Crilley Show
I love disrupters. I like to think that I'm a disrupter. A couple of weeks ago. I was invited to be on a panel at UTD in their entrepreneurial program, and I met a young man who I was blown away by. He is reinventing what we believe to be ice cream with a different recipe that has been in his family for 100 years. Aman Singh with Kaurina's is in the studio.

Eric Jackson, Retired Senior Executive of the FBI | The Jeff Crilley Show
You will agree that being in law and law enforcement these days is a somewhat thankless job. These days, it's more than often that the media second-guesses them about how they handle the situations. Somebody who knows about that is a guy who spent a lifetime in law enforcement. Eric Jackson, a Retired Senior Executive with the FBI, is in the studio today.

Kathleen Twetten, Wall to Wall Garage Solutions | The Jeff Crilley Show
I'm so excited about this show because I am incredibly passionate about extreme customer service. In fact, our receptionist's title is Director of First Impressions. I have this theory that everybody wears the same T-shirt, and it says, make me feel special. Not everybody can see that, but my next guest can see it from a mile away. Kathleen Twetten is with Wall to Wall Garage Solutions.

Renée Marino, International Speaker, Connection Expert & Bestselling Author | The Jeff Crilley Show
I think you'll agree with me that we've never lived in a more connected world in terms of technology but a more disconnected world when it comes to authentic communications and connections. I know a lot of people who say they have 12,000 followers on Linkedin, but they can't name 10 of them. That's no real connection, and to talk about that today is my friend Renée Marino, an international speaker, connection expert, and bestselling author.
