The Jeff Crilley Show : Recent Episodes

RNCN

Jeff Crilley is a former news reporter, who spent more than 25 years in newsrooms across the country. He’s an Emmy Award winning journalist, who decided to make the jump from news in 2008, when he founded his own PR Firm, Real News Public Relations.

Today, the firm has more than 100 clients, and Jeff continues to tell the stories of interesting people he meets along the way.

These are those stories.

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.

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.

I'm thrilled about this show! Chonnie Richey is in the studio. She's one of my dear friends and the founder of Independence Gardens. They help get food to underprivileged school kids and communities, and she has a big event coming up on February 20th. It's called The Art of Food!

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.

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.

I love disruptors, and I love featuring them on my show. If you think about the game of golf, it's been around for centuries, and there haven't been all that many advances when it comes to technology or somebody who is changing the game. Today, Jon Schultz, the CEO of ezLocator, is in the studio with me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Think about a bank that's been around since 1930. I bet you can't name too many. However, a family-owned bank is famous in Arkansas. They just moved to Dallas, and I have the privilege of interviewing JJ Gomez, the regional president of Chambers Bank Texas.

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.

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.

If you're an entrepreneur or someone who's climbing the corporate ladder and you want to have success, something you have to have is swagger. Confidence. I can't think of anyone more confident and assured in her feminine energy than my next guest. Michelle Robinson-Halverson is in the studio. She's the president of SHINE Like a B.O.S.S.

I own a marketing company, and I feel pretty good that I know a lot of stuff, but I can learn so much from my next guest because he's a plumber who has become one of the top trade influencers on YouTube and other platforms. Welcome to the studio, Roger Wakefield, The Expert Plumber.

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.

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.

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.

I never served our country in the military. I have so much respect for the men and women who have. And many of them come back out of combat and deal with invisible wounds. To talk about that right now is Judge John Roach, Presiding Judge of the North Texas Veterans Court.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. There are no bodies of water to keep us in. We can keep going until we are the third-largest market. Chris Wallace, the CEO of the North Texas Commission, is a significant influencer here in Dallas and joins us in the studio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We all love going to concerts or sporting events but want to feel safe. That's probably the number one concern when you go to any event and just want to have fun with your family. I'm so honored today to have Mark Herrera in the studio, and Trevor Mitchell is joining us remotely. Both are with the International Association of Venue Managers.

If you think of every movie you've ever watched for your whole life or Super Bowl commercials, there's always an entertainment lawyer behind the scenes making sure that all the i's are dotted and t's crossed. Natalie LeVeck, a very successful entertainment attorney, is in the studio.

We are so blessed to live in North Texas, one of the most prosperous metroplexes in the country. However, you don't often see the working poor and the hunger that goes along with them. That's why we invited Trisha Cunningham to the studio. She is the president and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank.

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.

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.

My sister-in-law, Jennifer Snee, is a very successful financial advisor. The other night, we were having dinner, and I was showing her daughter, Mary, a video of me interviewing my sister-in-law. My niece said, "When do I get to be on your show?" I replied, "As soon as possible." Joining us in the studio today are Mary and her bestie, Hannah.

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. That old saying, it's not how many times you got knocked down; it's how many times you get up. My next guest knows that well. Ashley Harvey-Watt is the CEO and founder of Pillar Recruiting.

If I had a teenager, I'd tell them to get into cyber security. It is exploding, and you will have job protection for the rest of your life. That's why we invited Bob Kehr, with Kehr Technologies, on the 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.

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. There's one group I want to put a spotlight on. They've been around for 13 years, and I'm very fond of them. Two of the driving forces of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen join us today, Kevin Dahlberg and Ashley Watt.

One day, they will make a movie out of my next guest. You remember Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith. I love that movie because of his grit, tenacity, and overcoming obstacles. And that perfectly defines my next guest, Tawanna Fields, the mega entrepreneur.

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.

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.

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.

I am so honored to have Alberto Lombardi back in my studio. This might be the most recurring guest I've ever had. I think this is his fourth appearance on my show. He is near and dear to our hearts because, as a company, Real News, we always hold our holiday party at one of his many concepts. The great Alberto Lombardi of Lombardi Family Concepts joins us today.

If you look at all the great fortunes in society, most of them have real estate in their portfolio. We all think of Jerry Jones as the owner of the Cowboys, but if you look at his portfolio, he owns a lot of land. And that's how you get rich, folks. Joe Pizzurro, founder and CEO of Breakchain Capital Investments, is here to discuss real estate investing.

We all fear failure. But if you remember when you were learning to walk as a child, you stumbled. That's how you learn. My next guest is Heath Oakes, a bestselling author and good friend who wrote Ignorance on Fire.

I love to spotlight local nonprofits making a profound difference in people's lives, especially young people. And if you think about the challenges all first-generation students face getting into college, they need a helping hand. That's why I invited the folks from Scholarshot back to the show. Lana Marker and Dalia Trejo join us in the studio today.

I hate that the word immigration has become so polarizing. You can say immigration and people instantly take sides, and it doesn't need to be that way. We are a country of immigrants, and we all agree that we want legal migration. That's why I invited this next couple to my show. They are a true legal power couple, Michelle Saenz-Rodriguez and George Rodriguez with Saenz-Rodriguez and Associates.

This is a familiar tale: You're a small business owner who starts growing your company. You may have five, ten, or perhaps even 50 employees, but there comes a point when what got you here will not take you to the next level. That's when you bring in a high-performance coach, Rob Zweerman, who joins us from our Austin Studios.

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.

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. And everything I'm hearing is that the best place to be is in apartments because people always need a place to live. It's relatively recession-proof, and to discuss that today is Eric Leyendecker, Director of Land Acquisition at Anthem Development.

The holidays are supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but many people feel sad. Depression and anxiety go crazy in December because of so many painful memories. That's why we brought in the holistic therapist, Dr. Ashley Nazon

When you look at professional models on TV or in magazines, it's easy to assign a narrative to them. Oh, they were born beautiful. They were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They've never had adversity. My next guest will share a very painful moment in her life with us because she's turning her pain into purpose. Amber Griffin is the founder of Model Prep.

I love how life works. We all have a plan, and then God throws an audible at us. That describes my next guest, Lorie Burch, with Burch Law.

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. You might be growing that organization, but you're still as busy as you were when you turned the lights on. 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.

I like to think that all of us have some ministry. My ministry and mission is to help people tell their stories. But I come to an air-conditioned office every day. It's pretty comfortable doing my mission. My next guest has an incredible mission, and I can't even imagine what it's been like to walk in her shoes for the past 22 years. Carole Ward is with Favor International.

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. The guy who got a shot at the title went the distance and later became the champ. My next guest is somebody who also agrees that sometimes the little guy needs representation. Joining us now from New York is Ron Berutti with Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC.

Raising a family is complicated enough, but add in the stress of the holidays and the pressures on families, and sometimes, it can rip families apart. That's why we invited Dr. Brad Schwall with The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology back to the 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.

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.

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. Couples limp through the holidays and then file in January and February, which is sad. My next guest, MarQui McGill, is a licensed marriage and family therapist who wants to change that dynamic.

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.

My entire life has been spent telling people's stories. I first did it through the news media, and now I do it through podcasting and public relations. And when one storyteller meets another, he has to invite them to his show. Matthew Osborne with 19 Production House is in the studio today.

I'm so proud to be in North Texas, and we have so many amazing communities. I like to spotlight communities when I can, and so I ran into the mayor of Richardson, Texas, about three weeks ago. I invited him on my television show to talk about all the wonderful things they're doing. Mayor Bob Dubey is in the studio.

I think I'm cursed with a gene. In the gene is excellence. Everything that I touch has to be excellent. And when I run into somebody who shares that same disease, if you will, I have to have them on my show. Eddie Lucky Campbell is on the show, and he is with Standard Pour and Parliament.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know I have a passion for non-profits, and I love to put a spotlight on people who are doing amazing things right here in our backyard. Today, Shannon Summers is on the show; she's the head of marketing for Women With Promise.

So I'm a creative. I think I've always been good with words, pictures and images, but I cannot hold a candle to my next guest when it comes to creativity. Melissa Ellis is in the studio. She's with Melissa Ellis Art, and she is a sculptural oil painter.

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.

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. The folks with the hangars, the folks who supply the fuel to the airline industry. And to talk about that today is Jamie Munoz. She is the general manager of Galaxy FBO.

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.

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.

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. Then, in the second half of your life, you start thinking about relevance. Did you leave the planet off better than when you got here? And that describes my next guest, Steve Bender. He's heavily involved in Earth X and a very proud Rotarian.

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. We've come light years away from the 50s and 60s regarding women in power. However, we still have ways to go and must empower the next generation of female leaders. Sharla Frost is in the studio. She's a friend, bestselling author, and a keynote speaker.

If you had a health condition, you would go to a surgeon or a specialist. But many business owners and entrepreneurs in this country are trying to do it themselves. That's why I brought on Chris Wilbratte, the co-founder of Echelon Financial.

As a planet, we are spending literally trillions of dollars on cyber security. But all it takes is the bad guys to be right once, and they can get through. There are many different ways they can do that. Today, we are speaking to a cybersecurity expert, Lalit Ahluwalia, with DigitalXForce and iTrustXForce.

I respect the discipline it takes to be a champion in any sport, and my next guest is a champion in surfing. He's the number one athlete over 50 in surfing on the planet. Scotty Schindler is in the studio. He's known as the Street Smart Entrepreneur.

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.

As they say, it's lonely at the top. Countless CEOs in this country surround themselves with yes men and yes women. So, no one is telling the CEO the truth. Sometimes, you need somebody to do that to show you your blind spots. That describes my next guest perfectly. Rocky Garza is a leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and advisor to eight-figure CEOs.

We're here in Dallas-Fort Worth, and there's probably an attorney on every street corner in Dallas-Fort Worth. And so, how do you separate yourself from the herd? Some of it is just making sure that your compass is always pointed true North. And Michael Holmes is in the studio right now.

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. But, you know, God may have other plans for me. Fortunately, my health is good, but so many Americans hear the C-word, cancer, and it can turn them into a downward spiral of despair. And somebody who will inspire you right now is my next guest. Piet Van Waarde is in the studio. He's a cancer warrior, a pastor, a chaplain, and my friend.

When there's a start-up, sometimes you're starting in your garage. Think about it: Google started in a garage with just two guys, and then, obviously, it grows. They have growing pains, and sometimes, they need to bring in a financial strategist to help keep them on track. My next guest knows a lot about that. Tina O'Banion is in the studio. She's an MBA and the CEO of TFO Clarity.

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.

I love to read books about history and successful business owners. Almost every one of them had one of those moments where they were so close to bankruptcy that they couldn't pay their bills, and then a bank saved them. 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.

I don't know about you, but I get my property tax assessment yearly and assume it's right. And so we go ahead and pay it. But there are a lot of people who fight it, and they win. To talk about that today Nicholas Olenec, with Texas Tax Protest.

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.

Most of us take ATMs for granted, and if you're under 40, you don't know a world without them. But the truth is that ATMs have grown exponentially over the years. The dominant player in the space is Hyosung Americas, and we will be talking with its Chief Operating Officer, Nancy Gail Daniels.

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. We know more about every organ in your body, and yet, as a nation, we get sicker and sicker every single year. The solution is a holistic approach to wellness. That's why I have my next guest on the show, Tatiana Miller, with RX 4 Life.

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.

I'm an entrepreneur and love to feature successful entrepreneurs on my show. I cannot hold a candle to my next guest. He has worked with the UFC, NFL, and Coca-Cola. He is a global brand ambassador and sponsorship guru. Aaron Randolph is on the show. He is the CEO of Crown Sponsor.

I consider myself incredibly blessed because my mom and dad are still with us, and my brothers are still with us. I've yet to lose an immediate family member, and I can only imagine the pain that goes along with that. And what do you do with that pain? Sometimes, you write a book, Miracle at Crossroads. We will talk with the author, Barbara Patterson.

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. There are jokes. It goes off the rails. I'm not sure anybody learns anything, so that's the wrong way to do it. My next guest is going to explain the right way to do it. Don Kersting is in the studio. He's the founder and principal of Kersting Creative.

If you think about the job of software developers, they never get any glory. They're the backbone of what makes Apple, Apple, and Facebook, Facebook, but they never get the limelight. My next guest, Jason W. Taylor, President and Founder of CodeLaunch, saw this many years ago.

Speaking has become a big business in America and in Dallas-Fort Worth. It's the home of all sorts of speakers, but sometimes you need a support system. My next guest is an expert on this. Christa Haberstock is in the studio. She's the president and founder of See Agency.

There are a lot of corporate headhunters in Dallas, but not all of them hold themselves to a higher standard. A white glove treatment you might say. And that's my next guest, Brenda Siri, the President and CEO of Corporate Connections.

This show comes with a disclaimer. If you haven't eaten yet, this show will make you very hungry for sourdough bread. I can't think of a more beautiful smell than freshly baked bread coming right out of the oven. It takes you back to childhood memories, and that's what my next guest is all about. Recreating some of those wonderful memories, bringing families together, and enjoying the greatness that is sourdough bread. Maria Baradell is in the studio. She's the owner and founder of Leaf and Loaf.

My next guest and I share a lot in common. We both spent a lifetime in TV news, and we both loved it. Susan had her dream job in Florida, but then she started to get very, very sick, and it changed her life. Joining us today is Susan Russell with Mold Dog Knows.

I love networking. There's an old saying, you got to circulate percolate. There are a lot of Gen Z's who are out there behind a computer hooking up on LinkedIn, but they're not really making real connections. And that's what the art of networking is all about. Somebody who knows that well is my next guest, Amy Bonanno, with Power Players Pro.

You're going to have to forgive me if I'm a little bit of a fanboy right now because I wake up every morning, and part of my routine is to listen to KLIF. It's all news, and then I switch over to WBAP. But I wake up every morning with Sybil Summers. She is an On-Air Personality, podcaster, emcee, and so much more.

At my heart, I'm a storyteller. That's what I've done throughout my professional career, first in news and now in public relations and podcasting. I love to interview other professional storytellers. And I can't think of a better person to introduce you to right now than Jim Dale. He's an expert in marketing and communications.

We all know people who have completed marathons and triathlons, but I have yet to meet anyone except for my next guest, who has completed Mount Everest. Rajan Dwivedi is in the studio. He's a peak performance coach and one of four Texans who has completed the climb. Rajan Dwivedi is in the studio.

I think so many of us are guilty of this. We are on the hamster wheel, running as fast as possible and chasing the almighty dollar. But every dollar of our currency says In God We Trust. I think we should believe that, and so does my next guest. Natasha Boyd is The Clutch VA.

I think you'll agree that DFW is the home of all banks. I don't know if there are more Starbucks or banks in Dallas-Fort Worth, and so it's a very noisy, very crowded field. But every once in a while, banks stand up and separate themselves from the pack. And that describes my next guest, Nancy McDonnell, the Head of Treasury Solutions at Texas Capital Bank.

It is amazing that we know more about how the body works than ever before in humankind, yet we as a country keep getting larger and larger. The obesity crisis is real, and it's affecting our kids as well. My next guest says that you're going on too many diets. I'm going to let her explain that Stefanie Nelson is in the studio. She's with Diet Free Fitness.

When you think about gelato, we all think about Italy, right? Well, two guys in the studio right now believe that you should be thinking about Argentina when you think about gelato. And we'll let them make their case right now. Owen Carlson and Martin Pereyra de Olazabal, with Gelato La Boca, are in the studio.

We live in a world where we love celebrities, so the CEO of any large company will be a celebrity, clearly. But overlooked is the person behind the scenes, the CFO who's keeping all the ships sailing. My next guest knows that very well. Burt Copeland, with New Life CFO, is in the studio.

I'm meeting people all the time these days, and most of the interactions that I'm having are genuinely God-given. I'm obviously a man of faith, and my dad and brother are both ministers. I use God as my true north and my compass. And I met a young man the other day, and he just impressed me. And I said, John, you need to come on my show and share your story. So, in the studio, John Leslie is a conference show producer.

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. And in year two, they injure themselves. Now, suddenly, their career is cut short. And we hear stories about celebrity athletes that we all looked up to doing menial labor because they didn't make good financial decisions while they had the dough. Somebody who's very passionate about that is my next guest, Hillary Seiler, with Financial Footwork.

I started broadcasting when I was 19 years old. I was a sophomore in college, and I got a little internship at the TV station there, and I thought I was doing okay. I can't hold a candle to my next guest, Anya Ahuja, who is in the studio. She started her career when she was 11.

There are photographers, and there are storytellers. You can go to any big box store and get pictures of your kids. But if you're looking for art, hire a guy like my next guest, Fred Mahusay, with Fredshots Photography.

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. And I think we're all victims of that, aren't we? We find that we keep going down this rabbit hole of thoughts. But you can correct the course and pick your path. And that's what my next guest is going to talk about that, Elizabeth Mahusay is a speaker, author, and trainer.

All people of a certain age have a ministry. My ministry is helping people tell their stories through the media, their own podcasts, or TV shows. But my ministry can't hold a candle to the man next to me right now. Michael Ryer is in the studio. He's with Amigos Internacionales.

If you look at some of the wealthiest people in this country and their portfolios, there's always going to be real estate in that portfolio. And this goes back to the beginning of time. You look at Jerry Jones, we all respect him for what he's done with the Cowboys. He is also interested in commercial real estate, including the Star and AT&T Stadium. To talk more about commercial real estate is my next guest the professor of real estate, Greg Barron.

The last two years have been relatively challenging for the economy. It's been sluggish, but then the Fed started lowering interest rates. And so we're now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Doug Banerjee is with Greysteel.

We hear a lot on the news these days about parenting. If parents are too soft on their kids, if everybody gets an award for showing up at soccer practice, they don't learn tenacity, grit, and stick-to-itiveness. My next guest knows this very well because she came up through the school of hard knocks. Tameka Denise is a very successful life coach.

As you hear on the news every night, human trafficking is a big problem here in the great state of Texas. There are a number of nonprofits that work on that fight, but I can't think of one that does it in such a unique way as my next guest, Sherri Jacobs, with Alison Joy Bridal Boutique.

Most of us are old enough to remember September 11th, and just a few months after September 11th, my next guest went to serve our Navy for four and a half years. Joe Hutchinson is in the studio. He's with Hutchinson Construction.

Most of us remember 2001 because, of course, it was September 11th. My next guest remembers that year very well because it was the year she almost died. Lauren Mayfield is in the studio. She's with Full Hearts Advising.

I think most Americans would be shocked that the human trafficking problem in our country is so severe. Most people like to think, no, not not in my backyard. But no, it's happening right here. And somebody who knows that very well is a man at the front of that fight. Brian Anderson is the CEO of Unbound Now.

I'm excited about this episode because I'm passionate about EO. That's Entrepreneur's Organization. I am a member of EO Dallas and my guest today is a member of EO Fort Worth. But this show is really about the value of joining wherever you are. It's a global organization, and you have brothers and sisters around the planet once you join. To Talk about that today is Craig Wasilchak.

I remember one of my first dates with my wife when we had a picnic on Turtle Creek. It was just a nice little park on Turtle Creek, and we went there and shared lunch. It was so romantic. Most people assume that the city of Dallas is taking care of all these parks. But they don't know that an amazing nonprofit stepped in to ensure this crown jewel is always buffed and shiny each year. Tiffany Divis is in the studio. She's the president and CEO of Turtle Creek Conservancy.

There's an old saying: Don't work in the business; work on your business. So many small to mid-sized business owners are still trapped in their businesses. They're doing everything wrong, burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. Every once in a while, they need to bring in a consultant like my next guest, George Mayfield. He's a returning guest with Frameworks Consortium.

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. I say that's a false story because now I'm the owner of a television network and a very successful PR firm, and I love having a stress-free life. Somebody who knows this very well is a good friend of mine, Julie Hutchinson, the CEO of Core Performance. She joins us from our Austin bureau.

I love my home. I love the approach to the home, how majestic it looks, and I love our backyard. Many people are trying to sell their homes or looking to buy a home, and the front yard is not up to par. That's when they bring in somebody like my next guest, Jordan Winar. He's with Zion Outdoors.

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. They only bet on films that they know they can get a return on. And so all the creative stuff is coming out of states like ours, Texas. Independent filmmakers are in their heyday. Someone who knows that very well is my next guest, May Liu. She is a producer, actress, writer and director.

DWI is just a horrible thing. It shatters lives, and we always hear about it on the news. But you don't often get to see a face behind the accident. It's usually just a crime scene tape on the news; those faces are devastating. Two people behind the DWI Task Force of Dallas County are in the studio right now, Dr. Elba Garcia and Emma Dugas.

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. It seems like every single night, I was sitting on a couch, grieving with someone who had lost a loved one to some violent crime, and it took a toll on my mind, body, and spirit. Somebody who knows that journey very well is my next guest, Dana Grant. She is a master-certified international Life Coach.

I remember that for so many years with Fox 4, I would cover Texas/OU weekend. I go to the bars and talk to fans from both teams. But I don't think I knew how big it was in terms of the enormous number of fans descending on Dallas from all over the country. My next guest knows that very well. Doug Rice is on the board of the Texas Exes Dallas Chapter.

I have to think that the loss of a child is probably the greatest hurt any parent can ever experience, and so I can't even imagine what my next guest has gone through. But she's turning that tragedy into triumph. Adina Peyton is in the studio. She's with GRAMI - Getting Real About Mental Illness.

I love featuring guests who are passionate about their lives and careers. My passion is helping people tell their stories, and my next guest helps individuals navigate some of their most difficult times. She’s Sharon Ramage, a family law attorney with The Ramage Law Group.

I love grit and determination. Everything that I've ever achieved in this world has been through hard work. I always said to myself, I'm not the most handsome guy in TV news, or I don't have that baritone voice that Tom Brokaw has, but, I said, nobody will ever outwork me. And I took that same philosophy into the PR arena, podcast, and now a television network. And so that's why I invite other doers on the show. And that describes my next guest perfectly. Bailey Francis is with an Iconic Insurance Company called March McLennan Agency.

I'm in marketing, and I love segments about branding and marketing. I also love to interview people ten times smarter than I am, and the young lady in my studio right now is just such a person. Tiffany Wilburn is a fractional CMO and the head of Clever Disruption.

I love October because it's time to discuss a subject near and dear to my heart. I can't imagine a family that has not been touched by breast cancer. It's just all pervasive throughout our society. A good friend of mine is Ashley Miller, who is with the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

We have certainly become a world of convenience. Think about it. Concierge medicine, just having a doctor send in your prescription based on a quick FaceTime call, and then think about valets. I mean, some people will see an open parking lot and they're still going to park valet because they want that VIP treatment. Somebody who knows that very well is in the studio right now. Amber Jackson is the owner of Glitz Optical.

There are so many individuals who are bright and funny and can relate to people, but they find themselves stuck in a job that is not leading them to success. It could be because the job does not play to their strengths. Someone who knows that very well is Lisha Ruda, a Gallup-Certified strength coach.

I think millions of Americans take their feet for granted. Their feet are there. They might be sore a little bit, but you won't see a doctor about that. But then it starts to ache, and suddenly, you're seeing a doctor like my next guest, Dr. Paul Stankey, with the Foot and Ankle Associates of North Texas.

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.

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.

I've had the privilege of interviewing so many notable people on this show: famous athletes, celebrities, and politicians. But in terms of success, I dare anybody to hold a candle to my next guest. Jimmy Kinley is in the studio. He's the CEO of Kinley Construction Group.

If you're old enough, you remember people standing in line to buy tickets. Well, that went away like two decades ago. And the ticket industry has just exploded. And some of the prices for some of these tickets have been skyrocketing. Somebody who knows this industry very well is the godfather of the ticket industry. Ram Silverman is the owner of Golden Tickets.

As many of you may know, the South Asian community in North Texas continues to grow by leaps and bounds. I'm told it's up around half a million right now, which is absolutely incredible. And where they go for their news, entertainment, and information is my next guest, Shabnam Modgil. She's with FunAsia Radio.

I met my next guest about a week ago. She comes in with this million-dollar smile, and you would never guess that she had so much adversity, especially at a young age, which is compounding the trauma. Val Vidal is The Soul Healer, and she is in the studio.

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. And if you put off a check-up or two, especially if you're over 50, it can be fatal. My next guest, Tom Hulsey, the author of The Winning Mindset That Saved My Life, knows that very well.

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.

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. It's outrageous, and the hospital system has been getting away from it for years. My next guest is on a crusade to right those wrongs. Dr. Bill Hennessey, with CareGuide Advocates, is in the studio.

I know it's frustrating for you—it’s frustrating for everyone. How can we stop hackers? Every day, there’s another cyber attack in the news, another warning that our Social Security numbers are on the dark web. It’s incredibly frustrating. And no one understands that frustration better than my next guest, Joey Rachid, a Global Chief Information Security Officer.

At my peak, I was speaking 300 times a year, but I can’t compare to my next guest. He's one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the world. Joining me in the studio is Brian Bogert, a transformational life coach and keynote speaker.

What I love about Dallas-Fort Worth is the emphasis on coaching—not just in sports, but in life and business as well. Today, I'm thrilled to have an accomplished life and business coach, Nikkita Chanté, in the studio with me.

I love the saying, "It’s not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up." My next guest, Jessica Dalby, has been through her share of challenges, but she always rises again. She’s the founder of Jessica Dalby Brand Media.

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.

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. CEOs have become celebrities, regularly appearing on networks like Fox Business and CNBC. Joining me in the studio is someone who knows this well—Gary Frayter, who handles social media for celebrities, executives, and CEOs.

I started this company from my home in 2008, and while I made it work, it was a bit lonely. The people I used to spend time with in corporate America weren’t around anymore. That’s why it’s so important to find your tribe and mentors. This next segment is all about that, and joining me is Bill Chinn from The DEC Network.

Many moms experience it: the excitement of motherhood followed by postpartum depression. Shifting friendships and growing isolation can make it even harder. Carly Church, founder of We Got You Mamma, has been there and is here to share her insights.

Being a private investigator isn’t quite like Magnum, P.I. or The Rockford Files, but it’s an exciting and rewarding career. Investigators help uncover the truth for their clients, solving troubling situations. My next guest, Anji Maddox from She Spies Private Eye, Inc., knows this firsthand.

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.

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. And heaven forbid you become a large company, and you're still working with those same essential tools in your toolkit. Somebody who knows that very well is joining us from our Austin studios. Joel Trammell with the CEO-S.

If you watch this show, you know my father and brother are ministers. So, I'm a man of faith, and I love to spotlight people with unique ministries. Last week, we introduced you to someone who is ministering through Uber. And my next guest has a unique ministry because he's doing it through the great outdoors. Danny Souder joins us today with Christian Outdoor Ministry.

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.

You've heard of Salesforce by now, but it's amazing how many companies are not using it. And it's such a widely recognized platform that helps with everything from sales to doing business. Somebody who knows that very well is my next guest, Hunter Austin, he's the co-founder of Kelley Austin

If you've watched this show before, you know I love entrepreneurs and artists. I feel like what I'm doing is a piece of art. Emmett Coots is in the studio. He's with Stooc GC, and he considers himself an artist as well.

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.

I've been networking for the last couple of decades, and I can't tell you how many groups have come and gone. They've gone because they're not providing the benefits the members expected, or they've become stale. Somebody shaking up the Dallas networking scene is in my studio right now. Carson Gibbons is the Chief Executive Organizer for DallasMeetup.

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.

For countless Americans, going to work is just going to work. Other people see their job as a ministry. I do with my job. I'm putting spotlights on people who need to tell their stories. My next guest is Barbara Patterson. She drives an Uber, but she calls it Ministry on Wheels.

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. It changed my life and brought me into television news and, later, public relations and running a very successful television network. I owe a lot to that guy. Somebody who knows my journey because she lived it as well is Jules Clarke. She is the CEO of How to Be Social.

I remember when I was growing up, there were solar panels. I mean, people had them, but you didn't see them on every rooftop. You can visit many communities in this country, and every home has solar panels. To talk about that today, the driving forces behind Dawn to Dusk Solar, Fraser Sinclair and Thomas Chavez.

My heart goes out to every family in America who is dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia because it becomes all-encompassing for the caretaker. Brenda Shuttlesworth is with the Alzheimer's Association North Central Texas chapter and joins us today.

I hang out with a lot of entrepreneurs, and every entrepreneur I know has a great coach behind them, helping them find their blind spots. My next guest, Mayme Doumbia, is a leadership and team coach who knows that very well.

For far too many NFL athletes, playing in the NFL was the pinnacle of their success. That is not true for my next guest. Mark Clayton is in the studio and is the founder of LIVV Audio.

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. It's not, any other issues inside the home. It's how they're dealing with those issues in the home. A couple who believe that strongly are my next guests, Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt.

I affectionately call this a Thank God it's Monday Company. There's laughter in the hallways. People love to come to work here, and I love having guests with the same heart. I can't think of two people better to invite to the show than Dr. Jane Gardner and Joel Patterson. They're the coauthors of The Best Job Ever.

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.

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.

Pediatric sports medicine. You've heard of it before, but we are going to get a deep dive with Dr. Cordelia Carter.

I have this excellence gene in me. If I'm going to do it, then it has to be excellent. So, I admire other people who have that same disorder, if you will. It has to be excellent, or they won't do it. My next guest has that same disorder, as I affectionately call it. Chris Coryell with Coryell Roofing and Construction is in the studio.

As you know from watching this show, I'm a proud member of EO Dallas, a group of very successful entrepreneurs. I got to run into Bill Richmond again. We've known each other for years, and I got reacquainted recently, and I said, "You got to come on my show." He is the founder of many different companies.

Some 30 years ago, the wise people in Richardson were smart enough to start Tech Titans because of the telecom corridor. I remember covering so many news stories related to technology in Richardson. Thirty years later, the organization has matured and broken out independently. To talk about that today is Paul Bendel, Tech Titans's executive director.

How many of us can relate to this story? You're kind of cruising along, doing your thing, and then God puts something in your heart, and you can't unthink it. You can't unhear it. Well, that happened to my next guest, Liz Morris, the founder of the Dallas Dream Team.

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. Fortunately, the stigma surrounding mental health is fading away, and my next guest knows that very well. Michelle Dean is with Mindscape Mental Health.

My next guest is wildly successful in construction, but she's not here to talk about her construction success. She's here to talk about her best-selling book. Chelsea Husum is in the studio.

We all get to the top of a little hill or mountain we're climbing and wonder, is this all there is? And that's what happened with my new career. I did a lot of cool things in the news, but then I just got to the age of 45, and I said, am I making a difference on the planet the way I want to? My next guest, Arinn Lovett, knows that well because she hosts the World Changers podcast.

When I arrived in Dallas in October 1992, I was instantly spoiled because we started going to Super Bowls, and we won three out of four. And that would not have happened were it not for my next guest, Charles Haley, legendary NFL player and founder of Tackle Tomorrow.

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.

The cool thing about CPAs is that they get to know their clients intimately. They get to see all their books and see where all the money leaks are. So, they become great advisors when it comes to how to scale your business. My next guest knows that very well. Dr. Jackie Meyer, with The Concierge CPA Podcast, is in the studio.

The restaurant industry changes by the day. I remember during COVID-19, when everybody suddenly had to become virtual and ensure they could serve their customers even when they couldn't physically see them. Somebody who knows about the changing nature of the restaurant industry is my next guest, Sherif Mityas, the CEO of BRIX Holdings.

As you may know, I have a son named Dallas Crilley, who is about to be 32 years old. He wrote a book when he was 14, and every time I tell people about it, they are blown away. Well, I'll tell you what. He's a slacker because my next guest wrote a book when she was ten. Hargun Khatra is in the studio, and she wrote Johanna of the Misty Mountain.

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.

You've heard me talk about Success North Dallas many times on this show, and we are always honored to have these amazing speakers. As often as possible, I like to get the speaker to go straight from the meeting to my studio so I can introduce him or her to my viewers. I was blown away by my next guest, Vip Vipperman, the vice president of Eagle Venture Fund.

This show is about repaying a debt to veterans. We can't truly repay them for what they put on the line for our freedom, but we can help them with benefits. One of the best benefits that any veteran gets after returning from service is the VA Home Loan. To talk about that today is Wade Betz with Winning With Wade.

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.

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. It caused many people to wake up and question Western medicine. Somebody who also questions that and believes there's a higher calling if you will, is my next guest, Dr. Robin Perry Braun, the president of Integrated Life Strategies.

We've all heard the term narcissist, but it's being thrown about more often now than ever before. I have a theory. We're all growing up with social media, looking at ourselves on the computer screen all day. Why wouldn't there be more narcissists today than there were 50 years ago? Cindy Hyde with Living Strong Counseling joins us to discuss that.

I am always impressed when talent and performance run in the family, and I can't think of a more powerful mother-daughter team to have in the studio right now than the two who are here. Merry Miller Guba is a world-renowned harpist, and Sue Grandi is the current Ms. Texas Senior America.

I have always had a lot of respect for bartenders. They have to have eyes in the back of their head to ensure they're taking care of everybody at the bar and then some. But it takes a special bartender to become an entrepreneur. That describes my next guest, Maylee Gray, CEO at Top Shelf Tending.

If you are a small to mid-sized business and you don't want to take on full-time employees here in this country, there are some wonderful companies out there that can help you with some staffing support. One of the people who is leading that effort is in our Austin Studio right now. Sean Devitt is the head of sales for Outsource Broker Support.

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. You're coasting along, feeling like you've got it all figured out, and then suddenly, there are divorce papers, and you don't know where to turn. Many people turn to my next guest, Luke Suminski, with Encircle Wealth Advisors.

I love my life. I get to work with my kids. I own a fabulous company, where I call it "Thank God it's Monday." When I see somebody else who loves their life the way I do, I have to have them on my show. Gwendolyn Griffin is in the studio, and she specializes in reverse mortgages.

I like to think I have a pretty cool company, but my next guest is putting us into outer space in terms of cool factor. Chris Cassidy is in the studio. He's a retired Navy Seal, a former astronaut, my friend, and the CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum.

I have never served in the military, but I have so much respect for the men and women who have, especially the discipline and all the leadership lessons they learn as they climb the ranks. I am honored to have the Honorable Raymond D. Kemp in the studio. He's an author and speaker and rose to the rank of Fleet Master Chief in the US Navy.

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.

Most Americans don't even look at the label when they use deodorant. They don't know what chemicals they're putting on their bodies every single day. They just want to smell nice. My next guest has a personal journey that brought her here, Zuly Matallana with Tiara Natural Deodorants.

I did 25 years of TV news, and I would have killed for the voice of my next. They call it the voice of God in TV news. Jim Blythe, with the Veterans' Impact Show, is in the studio.

I think all of us are walking around with undiagnosed PTSD. You can't take the whole world and put it on time out for two years because of COVID-19 and expect that to have mental and emotional repercussions. My next guests are very passionate about this and came together on The Brandon Show. Nicole Blackwell and Brandon Gillespie join us in the studio.

If you are a small business owner or a startup, listen up because you want to know about this next organization. It's called SCORE, and back in my public speaking days, I spoke to these organizations quite a bit. They're unique in the country, as the people are from all walks of life, and they have all the expertise for struggling business owners. Bob Siffermann is the SCORE District Director of North Texas.

Michael Jordan is clearly the greatest of all time in basketball, but he lost a few games. My next guest is the Michael Jordan of trial attorneys, but she's undefeated: 127 to nothing. Sandra Spurgeon joins us in the studio.

I grew up in an all-loving household. Dad is a minister, and Mom is a preacher's wife, so I never heard yelling. When I first started dating my wife, Victoria, I said, look, here's how my brain works. I cannot hear loud sounds. I cannot. So whatever you need to tell me, please say it gently. And so that gives you much information about how my brain works. My next guest, Jacqueline Campbell, is somebody who does this for a living and helps leaders become more effective by dealing with childhood trauma.

This is a classic story: You own a bakery and are good at baked goods. Then you expand, and suddenly, you have 2 or 3 locations. Now, you've never been good at HR, and you don't want to be good at HR. That's when you bring in a fractional HR firm like my next guest runs, Neil Katz, with Exceptional HR Solutions.

I got into Dallas in 1992, and I was spoiled. We started winning Super Bowls. The moment I touched down, the man sitting next to me had a lot to do with that. He was part of those three Super Bowl-winning teams of the 90s. Chad Hennings is in the studio.

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? We're all still kind of suffering from what happened a couple of weeks ago with that much-publicized hack attack. To talk about this, Shawn Tuma, a security expert and good friend.

Some of the wealthiest people on the planet got their money in real estate investing. I think about even Jerry Jones. You know him from the Dallas Cowboys, but he owns much land in Frisco and beyond that is worth much money. Somebody who knows about that is Jordan D'Silva, CEO of Web City Properties.

Obviously, divorce is hard on everyone in the family, including the kids, but my next guest makes the point that it hits women harder than it does men. Michelle O'Neil is in the studio. She is an author, speaker, and award-winning attorney.

Over the last half-century, the banking industry has had several ups and downs, and I think we're in a positive mode right now. But a guy who has seen it all since 1986 is in the studio, Stephen Curry with Endurance Advisory.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is the summer travel season, and of course, a lot of Americans are staying in different hotels right now. I'm sure you've seen those reports on the news where they take one of those black lights and show you where all the germs are. My next guest and good friend, Trisha Holderman, the CEO of Elite Facility Systems, knows this area very well.

Let's imagine you're the CEO of Exxon. Well, you're something of a target. You deal with oil and gas, are very prominent, and are well-known worldwide. You might have somebody like my next guest, Frank Roberson, with The Black Rhino Group, protecting you throughout the day.

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.

I never served in the military, but I have so much respect for the hardworking men and women who did. And to have an entire 25-year career is a lifetime. That describes my next guest, Burt Vergez, a retired colonel and part of P3 Builds.

I've heard of artificial intelligence my entire adult life, but it didn't hit me between the eyes until ChatGPT came along. That describes millions of people around the planet, and suddenly, we realize this is a thing. Someone who was into A.I. before it was cool is Dr. Yeshwant Muthusamy, Owner of Yeshvik Solutions and A.I. Principal at Improving.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Gen Z generation and Millennials sometimes put off getting married, so their pets become their kids. The pet product industry is just exploding like it never has before. My next guest, Eugenia Davis, the founder and CEO of The Paw Social, knows that very well.

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.

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.

As the owner of a PR and marketing firm, and now podcast/television network, I'm fascinated by people who are playing at the top of their game. That's why James Weiss, Managing Director with Big Drop Inc, is joining us on the show today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I know countless leaders leading big companies who may have yet to read a leadership book. Sometimes, even coaches need coaches. Somebody who knows well is Meg Rentschler, an executive and mentor coach.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I wish I had done this a long time ago. Someone who knows what I'm talking about is in the studio. Irving Chung, with FranGuidance, is in the studio today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When you think about promotional products, most people think about a koozie or a calendar. However, the industry has evolved, and anything you can imagine can have your logo on that product. Phillip Brown with Fully Promoted will explain.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We are a proud nation of immigrants. Our founding fathers were immigrants to this country, and on this show, we like to spotlight people who are really making Americans proud. That describes my next guest, Mario Ramirez, the host of Paisano Emprendedor.

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.

As an owner of a marketing firm myself, I'm passionate about branding and helping people tell their stories. And when I run into a brilliant storyteller, I have to have them on my show. Alex Duplin with The Creative Way is in the studio.

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.

In the early days of running this company, I met all my clients. I knew every single person who came in this door. These days, the company is getting to the size where I only meet some of the clients. 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.

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.

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.

With all the severe weather lately in DFW, insurance is top of mind for many of the viewers of this show. So, I thought I would invite one of the best in the business to talk about it. Houston Harris with Swingle Collins and Associates is in the studio.

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.

When I started listing all her accomplishments, I was almost out of breath. She's doing so many things, and she looks amazing. You wonder how she fits it all in a day and still manages to fall asleep at night. D'Andra Simmons is in the studio today.

I don't know about you, but I get dizzy when I go to the skincare section of the grocery store because I see all of these products, and they all look beautiful and make claims. But who do you trust? My next guest knows the whole skincare market very well because she has been in it for quite some time. Dr. Rani Chirumamilla with Monaesi Skincare joins us today.

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.

When you think about polo, many people have their stereotypes. They think about the sport of kings, where people fan themselves and sip tea with their pinkies extended. But someone trying to change that stereotype and bring it to the masses is my next guest, Dena Miller, with Prestonwood Polo & Country Club.

I'm a proud Catholic, and I suppose you already know how I feel about abortion. Every life is precious, and someone who shares that is my next guest. Jennifer Shelton is the CEO of Real Options.

This show will be very personal to so many of you. Alzheimer's affects so many families these days. Millions and millions of families in America right now are dealing with a loved one who has Alzheimer's, or at least the early stages of dementia. Somone who knows about this very well is Rober Pace, the author of the fantastic book " I Understand... You Forgot To Say Goodbye".

These days, everyone has a camera on their cell phone, but that doesn't make us professional photographers. And sometimes, you need to bring in the expert when it matters. That's why we have Chris Baylor in the studio. He is a commercial portrait and sports photographer.

There are so many barbecue places in Dallas-Fort Worth that it's hard to stand out and make a name for yourself. But my next guests are a husband-and-wife team behind Off the Bone Barbeque, and they are really making a lot of noise in a very crowded industry. Dwight and Rose Harvey join me in the studio.

I remember as a child watching shows like The Jetsons or Lost in Space, and we saw robots, and it seemed so futuristic. And guess what? The future is now! We are living in the future. Elad Inbar is the CEO of the largest robotics company in the country and is in the studio.

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.

When you think about franchises, people often say McDonald's, right? Well, not all franchises are in the food space. They get all the attention on the national news, but there are some very fast-growing franchises, and the owner of the fastest-growing art brand in the country is in the studio right now. Maya Ratcliff is the owner and founder of Hawaii Fluid Art.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Then, you wake up, you're retired, and you're saying, why did I never get around to writing that book? Someone who will change your thoughts on that is my next guest, Darren Palmer, with Self Publish -N- 30 Days.

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.

I learned just a few minutes before the show that only 8% of people who are having a cardiac event survive. That is just incredible to me. Joining us right now are Greg and Julie Coon with Cardiac Crusade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When most people think about TV, video production, or film, they think about Hollywood. But more and more companies are doing film and video work in Dallas. Why is that the case? My next guest is going to explain. Ian Loomer is the President of the Dallas Producers Association.

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.

I wrote my book in 2002, and shortly after that, I met my next guest. He is a digital marketing genius. We've maintained our friendship for some two decades now. Mark Crowson, with Protueri, is in the studio today.

A couple of months ago, I had the honor of serving on a panel at UTD. I was just so struck with the programming and how they were making outreaches into the community that I had to have the Director of the institute on my show. Carol Marcus-Rehtmeyer is in the studio, and she is with the UT Dallas Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

I don't know about you, but it's unbelievable that some of these amazing international superstars like Aretha Franklin can pass, but their affairs are not in order. Then, the family begins a court fight that can last for years. Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Ryan Peabody, with the Peabody Law Firm.

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.

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. It's upscale Italian fashion in Texas, and I was so enthralled by it that I had to bring the two driving forces behind it to the studio to tell their story. Massimo Pauri and Andrea Casati are the owners of Pauri & Casati.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We all know people in their forties who look like they're in their eighties and vice versa. We live in a society where you can't even imagine getting old, and even 20-somethings are getting preventative Botox so they don't see those wrinkles. Tama Tran, the owner and CEO of Lily Med Spa, knows a lot about that.

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know I like to bring on people who are filled with faith and the spirit. My next guest epitomizes that. Natalie Lavelock is a faith based, international speaker and serial entrepreneur who helps people in the faith based space.

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.

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.

I think I just met my brother from another mother. He started his marketing company just one year before I did, and we've experienced many of the same kinds of economies. Nick Bonanno, the Co-Founder and owner of Simple Media, is in the studio.

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.

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.

I first started networking about 20 years ago when I wrote my book, and it's changed my life. Because of networking, my circle of friends and the people who know me has grown exponentially. My next guest, Kaleb Collins, the president of Young Executives at Success North Dallas, also believes in the power of networking.

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. One of the reasons why so many people support them is because they stand for something. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Scott Coburn, CMO of Patriot Mobile.

In America, two of the most common dreams are fame and fortune. But often, when people achieve both, they have hollow lives. My next guest knows that very well, Ray Higdon is a Christian entrepreneur coach.

We talk a lot about healthy relationships on this show. The truth is that you have to love yourself in order to be capable of loving someone else. My next guest, Veta Newton, the author of Cracking the Love Code, knows that very well.

We all know that artificial intelligence has been around for decades. But thanks to ChatGPT, it is a very crowded space. On this show, we always look for people who are making a lot of noise in a crowded space. That describes the next company we will profile, Markets EQ. Joining us from Austin is their VP of Client Experience, Jacqueline Brauer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you've been paying attention to the news, the last few years have been crazy in the gun and ammo industry. Why? Supply chain issues. To talk about that today is Nathan Boos, the CEO of SouthernDefense.com.

Perhaps the most famous franchise on earth is McDonald's. If you've seen the movie The Founder, it talks about the McDonald's story. It's a way to become very wealthy and grow your business tremendously by learning from the expertise of those who came before. Ronak Patel is in the studio today with The Franchise Consulting Company.

She calls herself an accidental marketer. That happens a lot these days. You're heading down one path, and then God has another plan for you. Jamie Christensen, with Fuse Associates, is in the studio discussing her journey.

As you just saw, I spent 25 years in TV News. That takes a lot of stick-to-itiveness. I appreciate people with long careers, and my next guest knows that very well. Tim McIntosh with Carpion Private Wealth spent over 25 years in financial services.

Almost every night, when you turn on the news, you hear reports about the skyrocketing cost of health care. One of those very expensive costs is surgery. In the studio to discuss that is Dr. Nagaraj Kikkeri with Hinkapin Health.

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.

A wise person once said, You have to lift as you climb. I can't think of a better organization to talk about women empowering other women than the organization and the managing director who's in our studio right now. Michelle Gooch is with Plaid for Women.

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.

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.

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.

Those of you who know me know I married up. I married the lovely Victoria Snee, the head of marketing for Highland Park Village. She is the love of my life and she is absolutely gorgeous. When she came back from her dermatology appointment about a month ago, she started raving about Dr. Jill. She said she is not just a board-certified and award-winning dermatologist but an artist. Dr. Jill Feetham joins us in the studio.

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. Sometimes, it takes a beautiful nonprofit, like the one I'm about to feature, to put everything into perspective. Joining me in the studio are Ronne Rock and Kathy Fielder with Orphan Outreach.

My daughter introduced me to the world of podcasting about five years ago. She said, Daddy, we need to get into podcasting, and now it's half of the company! Somebody who realized before the rest of the world realized that podcasting was something you needed to get into is my next guest, Trevor Houston, Host of the wildly popular Who Ya Know Show.

I must confess that I am a baby boomer, so technology isn't my friend. Sometimes, I go to the airport and try to do the self-check-in, and I get frustrated because the screens are not as intuitive as I want them to be. Two people who know a lot about the customer experience are in the studio right now. Adrienne Guillory and Peter Welpton are with Usability Sciences.

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. So much of life is the story we tell ourselves. Someone who knows that very well is Rudi Riekstins, an author, speaker, and business mentor.

We are about to experience the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the planet. You've got all these baby boomers with businesses, and they will sell them in the next two years because often their kids don't want their business. To talk about that today, one of my favorite clients, Michael D. Rubin, Owner of MDR & Associates.

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.

I was born in America, and I've run into so many people who blame the government or Wall Street for their problems. Sometimes, it takes a true entrepreneur to come into your life. Somebody who was not born here, who is running circles around everybody else to remind you that this is the greatest country on the planet. Someone who knows that very well is JP Piccinini, CEO of Vesuvius Holdings.

I have met so many moms who get immersed in their children's lives, and sometimes they forget self-care. They forget that they're a person and they've got needs and wants. It can't all be about the kids all the time. Somebody who knows that very well is Camille Thompson, founder of the mom group, Mind Over Matter.

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.

I grew up camping, and my wife once told me that her idea of camping is a three-star hotel. Something tells me she wouldn't go on a camping experience with me, but she might go on a glamping experience. Especially after she sees the story that we're telling you right now. Ron Anderson is the owner and founder of 7744 Ranch.

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.

In my long news career, I had the privilege of interviewing everyone from presidents to A-list stars from Hollywood. So it takes a lot to impress me. But my next guest truly impresses me with what he's done in his short life. Dylan Rafaty with the North Texas Disability Chamber is in the studio.

Here in the U.S., we are all spoiled. We know that when we turn on the faucet, we'll get fresh water. But in many places around the globe, that's a luxury that people can't even imagine. Jacob Niemeier, with Vera Aqua Vera Vita, is addressing the global water crisis.

A.I. has been around for generations, but many Americans didn't even know it until ChatGPT came along. Now, suddenly, everybody has to get on the A.I. train. Somebody who knew about A.I. way back in the eighties is my next guest, John Arnott, with C1M.

Dallas has long had a reputation for technology. You could go back to the EDS and Ross Perot days when we first came on the map as a technology center, not just an oil and gas center. We continue to make strides in that area because there's great talent here. Two people who know that very well are Kris Fitzgerald and Shashi Yadiki with Smart Data Solutions.

Okay. Brad Pitt. Fight Club. Iconic movie. But it takes a real genius to take that and duplicate it only in the digital arena. That's my next guest, Michael Pratt, the founder and host of Digital Fight Club.

I think we can all agree that legal immigration is a positive. This country was built on legal immigration. The word immigration has become very polarizing. When people hear it, sometimes they think about the illegals crossing the border and not becoming American citizens. Someone who is very passionate about this issue is Adam Lampert, CEO of Cambridge Care Givers and Manchester Care Homes.

There's truly nothing in the United States that compares to my next guest. It's Dr. Oz meets Dr. Phil. He is a very popular daily staple of British and UK television. His name is Dr. Tharaka Gunarathne, but we are going to call him Dr. T.

My next guest was labeled slow and a dreamer. A person who would never succeed in school. He didn't realize he had dyslexia until he was 40 years old. Paul Daniels Jr., with Peripheral Thinkers, is in the studio to discuss his journey!

This is an important show because it's something all families should discuss. But unfortunately, people don't like to talk about death. They don't want to talk about estate planning, and it's such a necessary conversation. Someone who knows that very well is my next guest, Kayla Smith Wood, with Allen Texas Attorneys.

If you've been alive for any length of time, you've been wronged by someone. But I'm a fan of the famous quote, "Bitterness is a poison you drink, hoping to hurt the other person." Someone who knows that very well is my next guest, Maureen Brundage, author and songwriter.

I have always been fascinated with the media, branding, and marketing. I now own a marketing firm. I met my next guest a few months ago and want to share her journey with you. Lori McNeil, with Lori McNeil International, is in the studio!

Have you ever been to an event where the mood is mellow, somebody comes in, and everything changes? That would describe my next guest. She calls herself a joy bomb. Ruthy Sonntag is in the studio today, and she's a mindset coach.

I've often said they do not make Hollywood movies about people born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would see that film. It's a horrible film. They do shows about Rocky, Million Dollar Baby, and overcoming adversity. That's the eternal struggle. It's called being human. My next guest will talk about why we should look forward to the trials in our lives. Jackie Dighans is an author, speaker, and coach.

I hang out around many very prominent business owners, and I would say easily one out of three of them have an executive coach helping them with their blind spots. Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Eric Kebschull, with EK Coaching.

Some of the greatest fortunes on the planet have been made through real estate investing. But, if you're like me, you're nervous. You've heard horror stories about somebody who turned a flip into a flop. That's when you turn to my next guest, Eric Mattingly, the president of DMI Holdings.

All of us are searching for meaning in life, and for 25 years of my life, I found meaning in television news. Now, I have found a new purpose, leading a public relations firm and a podcast network for the last 15 years. I love the idea of giving people a chance to tell their own stories. My next guest is Jeff Holler, who helps people find their meaning through business.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, there is a law firm on every corner. So, how do you stand out in a very crowded field? My next guests know that very well because they're making a name for themselves. Elise Mimms and Tiara Thomas with Thomas and Mimms, LLC.

We all love to shop. Who doesn't, right? But what if you knew your money was going to a good cause? That would be a brilliant non-profit. Somebody who realized that a couple of years ago is my next guest. Jeannie Barsam is the founder and CEO of Gifting Brands.

Many of you will recognize this book, which became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling book 15 years ago. It started a movement that continues to build momentum year after year. To talk about Conscious Capitalism is Tim Dickey, a product development and business agility coach.

Everybody's seen the headlines that the pandemic affected a number of young people. It's almost like a lost year, and now, when you look back at test scores, they continue to tick down. Part of that is the pandemic. Part of that is that the education system isn't designed to teach to individual students. It's a one-size-fits-all solution. To talk about that today is William C. Campbell III, the founder of Dallas Academix Hub.

Life is never the way you planned it. There's an old saying that God laughs at our plans. We make these plans, and then God chuckles and says that's not how it will be. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm not in the driver's seat, and ultimately, we will go wherever God wants us to go. My next guest knows that very well. Jason Nemes, author and speaker, is in the studio to tell us his story.

We all know that behind every top-performing athlete on the planet is an equally brilliant coach. So, why don't the greatest CEOs on the planet also have a coach? Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest. Jim Russo is with the Boardroom Academy.

In the last few years, our television network has been growing by leaps and bounds. So, I'm always getting new shows, and I don't get a chance to meet every one of the hosts. One day, I was walking down the hallways here at Real News and saw a graphic on the screen. It said, From Beer to the Bible, and I turned to Josh, our head of operations, and asked, "What's that?" Since then, Ervin Lee and I have become good friends, and he's in the studio today, the host of From Beer to the Bible.

All families are touched by cancer in some form or fashion, whether it's skin cancer or something much more deadly. The young man who's on my show next knows this very well because he lost his sister to cancer. Now, he has come up with a game changer regarding early detection. Sumit Rai is the founder of Cancer Check Labs.

If you talk to anybody in the world of addiction recovery, you'll discover that in the last few years, the numbers have skyrocketed. I attribute it to COVID-19. So many people stay home and have a glass of wine or two during the day because there is nothing else to do. Now, it's rearing its ugly head in the form of addiction. My next guests, Deanna Richardson and Tami Guttman with Rising Star Recovery, know that very well.

If you have seasonal allergies, I don't need to tell you it's been a brutal allergy season. I've felt a little stuffed up here for about a week. I go out to look at my car, and it's got a dusting of yellow pollen all over it, so it's no wonder. Two people fighting a war against seasonal allergies are in the studio now. David Brent Noel and Kris Klein are with Pollen Sense.

A doctor and a lawyer walk into a bar. Then there's a third person who happens to be an ex-CIA analyst. Who has the coolest story? I want to be my next guest, David McCloskey, an author, speaker, and ex-CIA analyst.

There's an old expression. There are three types of people in the world: the folks who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, "What just happened?" My next guest is somebody who makes it happen. He is a serial entrepreneur and my new friend. Michael Nadeau is the Founder and CEO of Cnect.

If you watch the show for any length of time, you know I love entrepreneurs and ideas that come to fruition. Anybody can draw something on a table napkin, but to turn it into a real company takes a lot of vision, persistence, and determination. Two guys who know that journey well are in the studio today. Jerry Joyner and Antonio Swad with Buzz Brands.

I'm not often as inspired as I am for my next guest. She has the determination and the willpower of an Olympic athlete. I think if she decided to train for the Olympics right now, she would make the team in any sport. Krystalore Crews with Crews Beyond Limits is in the studio.

My next guest is someone I've known for twenty-plus years. Dr. Ross Stewart is in the studio. He's the guy I interviewed when I was at Channel 4 about all things mental health. He was on the show a few months ago, but he texted me and said he needed to come back to tell people about the power of ketamine therapy.

Have you ever been to an upscale home and been struck by the countertop? Sometimes, picking out just the right stone can completely change the look of a room or, in some cases, an entire house. And when those luxury home builders are looking for just the right stone, they turn to my next guest, Fraun Delafield, with Allied Gallery.

From my background, you can tell I am passionate about people telling their own stories, whether that be through podcasting or traditional media. And I think I just met my sister from another mister. Elizabeth Walker is an On-Camera Coach and Media and Messaging Expert.

As the owner of a marketing firm and podcast network, I'm passionate about video. When I meet another marketing expert who's also passionate about video, I know we will become fast friends. You're going to meet a true marketing genius today. Atiba de Souza with Client Attraction Pros is in the studio.

I believe in God's winks. Sometimes, things happen, and they're supposed to happen. About ten years ago, I was introduced to my next guest, Dr. Jacob Rosenstein, when I went to sell him PR services. During that conversation, he flipped the switch on me and asked if I wanted to feel 17 again. I said, "Who wouldn't?" Now I feel like a 17-year-old again, and I call that a God wink. He joins us in the studio to tell us how.

Church attendance is in decline. I've seen polls that say that more Americans now identify themselves as nonreligious than religious. First time in American history. But somebody who's trying to change that narrative is in the studio right now. Diane Voirin with Aquinas Media tells us her story.

When you think about the badlands, you think about North Dakota. It's a tough winter climate, as it can get down to 50 degrees below zero. It raises tough people, among them the great Teddy Roosevelt. He attributes all his success to what he learned in the badlands. Somebody else who knows that very well is my next guest Wade Myers. He's an entrepreneur and investor.

I'm excited about this episode because it's about heart-centered leadership, and I like to think I lead with my heart. I call it a thank-god it's Monday company. The team all loves getting together and having lunch together. The boss, I suppose, sets the tone for the whole company. Someone who knows that well is Shaunna Black with Shaunna Black & Associates.

By now, all of us have heard of the Internet of Things, but where some of us are scratching our heads, saying, "What exactly is that, and what does that mean? Am I using it right now in my daily life?" To talk about that today, an international expert, George Brody, CEO of InfoNet of Things.

I've always believed that the Hollywood game is one you cannot win. I think of amazing actors like Tom Cruise, but in the back of his mind, he's probably asking himself, "Why don't I have a best actor Oscar?" Somebody who knows that very well is my next guest, Bobbie Jean Brown. She's an author, an actress, and a model.

Where you see it on the news almost every day, PTSD veteran's suicide rates are alarmingly high, and every one of us says somebody ought to do something. My next guest is doing a lot in that department. Major General Bob Dees has retired and is now heading up the National Center for Healthy Veterans.

If you've been hearing a lot on the news lately about pelvic floor, it's because Patrick Mahomes's wife fractured her back because of a weak pelvic floor. I have to admit, I've heard the expression pelvic floor before, but it didn't really resonate with me. It is absolutely critical that you take care of that for both men and women. Here to talk about that is Dr. Taylor Reyes, with FIRE Physical Therapy.

I can't think of a more competitive business in North Texas than the banking business. There's a bank on every corner, and of course, they fight it out during the day, but they have much more in common than opposing each other. That's why The Dallas Bankers Club exists. We will talk about it today with the founder, Dean H. Rosencrans.

Twenty years ago, you would just have an I.T. guy look over the corporate security of your systems. These days, with cyber hacking being what it is, every company is starting to graduate these I.T. people to a senior or C-suite level. It's called the Chief Information Security Officer. Today, we talk with David Malicoat about that. He is the host of The Professional CISO Podcast.

Well, I think all of us get a calling at some point. You know, I did the TV News thing for 25 years, and I got a calling to get into public relations and now podcasting. My next guest knows this very well because she got a calling from God a few years ago. Summer Dey is in the studio, she's a television host, a coach, an author, a speaker, and she's my friend.

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. This is a reminder that we will not accept trade instructions via email, and this is not an offer to buy or sell securities, which may only be done after a suitability review is conducted and necessary disclosures made.

I don't know about you, but I know a lot of people who play the blame game and the pity party. They always blame someone else for their troubles, and they're not looking in the mirror. A guy who believes the same thing is in the studio. He's returned for the third time: Robert J. Hunt, Co-Author of Nobody Cares.

Let's suppose you're an expert in HVAC. You've got a heating and air company, but you're really good at fixing stuff. You're not good at fixing your own business. There's that old saying, you want to work on your business, not in your business. My next guest, Daniel Fitzgerald III, the CEO of Global Growth Networks, knows a lot about this.

We've all experienced imposter syndrome before. I remember I had it. I was 20 years old and the weekend anchor in Lansing, Michigan. I thought to myself, what do you know about the world? How can you deliver the news? It's very relevant today because you have a lot of young Gen Zs managing a team of baby boomers. To talk about that today is Tina Loren, the 6 Figure Mentor.

Many Americans spend more time debating what they will have for dinner tonight rather than their finances in many homes. Talking about finances is absolutely taboo, and therefore, it goes by the wayside. That's compounded if you're a business owner. To talk about that today is Tinja Anderson, financial planner and CEPA.

I love disruptors. I think I'm a disruptor. My next guest is disrupting digital marketing with something called neuromarketing. I hadn't heard of it before. Amine Bentahar, the President of AVX Digital, is in the studio today to discuss that.

I am fascinated by people who take their original journey and do a pivot, just as I did when I left television news to start this company some 15 years ago. My next guest knows that very well. Matt DeSarno is the CEO of Verfico Technology.

I can't think of a hotter field right now than cybersecurity. In fact, if I were a new parent, I would raise my child to code and prevent hacking because it is a very lucrative career for anybody getting out of college. To talk about that today is Ieshea Hollins, Founder and CEO of Direnzic.

We hear this year after year, presidential candidates campaigning to lower health care costs and the cost of pharmaceuticals. Yet, the prices keep going up and up and up. What is going on? To sort fact from fiction is Dr. Scott Conard, an international healthcare thought leader.

I often wonder what Dr. Martin Luther King would think of today's world. He had a dream some 50-plus years ago, and I wonder if he would cry at the society that we have today. We've made some strides, but in some respects, we're more divided than ever. Today, Daryl Davis, the Black Klan Whisperer, and Gail Davis, President/Founder of GDA Speakers, are in the studio.

I spent 25 years in TV news and thought that was a long time. Try 45 years in one profession. That is so rare. You don't even hear about that anymore. My next guest knows all about that, Daniel DeYear, a retired deputy fire chief from the city of Dallas, speaker and trainer.

I've known many people who have been very successful in Airbnb, but they actually own the property that they're managing. My next guest is Sean Rakidzich with Airbnb Automated, and he has figured out a proven formula for making a lot of money without taking on a lot of risk.

I have a will, and my wife has a will. It's amazing that there are so many people walking around right now who are just risking everything on the chance that they don't die right away. It's never too early to start a will. To talk about that today is Lori Ashmore Peters with The Ashmore Law Firm.

I don't know about you, but I'm so proud to tell people I'm from Dallas. When I'm in a meeting anywhere in the country, I'm proud to say I'm from Dallas. It's a glamorous city with so many good things happening. There are things that could be improved, but let's face it: it's a thriving community. No one knows that better than my next guest, Paula Blackmon, the Dallas City Councilwoman from District 9.

When I was growing up, everybody took the paper. I remember growing up in Detroit, there were two papers, a morning paper and an afternoon paper. Now famously, newspapers are closing right and left. It takes a real visionary to step in and buy and resurrect a newspaper like the Los Angeles Tribune. We are speaking to a visionary like that today, Moe Rock is the publisher of The Los Angeles Tribune.

I didn't know this, but 30% of all children in America are born by C-section. I understand that personally because my son and daughter were both born by C-section. Now, my daughter has given birth three times by C-section. But when they send you home from the hospital, there's not always an instruction manual on what to do next. To discuss that today is Dr. Alex Pankoke, with Dr. Mama Bird Chiropractic.

We live in Dallas-Fort Worth, one of the most philanthropic communities on the planet. We have many nonprofits here, many of which have great missions and ministries. But when it comes to business savvy, they may be lacking. That brings us to my next guest, Valerie Gotcher with Gotcher Consulting, and she knows a lot about the nonprofit world.

At a certain age, all of us are looking for meaning in life. I was climbing the top of the little hill called local TV news, and then I looked around and said, "Is that all there is?" Then I left TV news to start this, the finest chapter in my life. Somebody who knows that feeling well is my next guest, David Snyder, with Community Growth Foundation.

Being an entrepreneur has never been sexier. Everybody wants to be the next Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg. There's a risk, obviously, in starting up your own thing. There's another path, and many people have become very successful in the franchise world. Here to discuss that today is Nick Neonakis, the founder of The Great American Franchise EXPO.

You've heard me say on this show before that we have a mental health epidemic in this country. I think COVID is largely to blame. You can't shut down the whole planet, tell everybody, go home and work online, then tell them never mind, go back to normal. I think we all have PTSD-type symptoms. Somebody who knows that very well is my next guest, Courtney Jordan, the founder of Bright Mentality.

I don't know about you, but anyone of a certain age wants to find meaning in their life. They want to get up for a reason. They want to know what their legacy is. My next couple knows exactly what their legacy is going to be. Susan and Chad Chance are the parents and founders of the Friends of Vail.

Millions and Millions of Americans are sick and tired. They wake up tired and fatigued. Sometimes, they don't know what's going on. Sometimes, it can be as easy as changing your diet. Someone who knows a lot about that is Addison LaBonte, CEO of Organically Addison.

I think most people would agree that we have a crisis of trust right now after the pandemic. There are a lot of people who do not trust what the government says when it comes to health care. They do not trust the Supreme Court that their ratings are at an all time low in terms of trust. We're in a trust crisis. To talk about that today, Scott Baradell, CEO of Idea Grove and Author of Trust Signals.

I'm a big Les Brown fan, and he's famous for saying it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. My next guest knows a lot about that. Joe Nayhay is the Founder of LFG Business Group and will discuss his journey.

I absolutely love beautiful music, but I've never been good at it. I remember as a grade schooler, I briefly tried the violin, piano, and guitar but I could never really master them. So, I am infatuated with people who have gotten to the top of their industry. My next guest is such a person. Joseph Kuipers, the Creative Director of TexasCellos, is in the studio.

I'm a believer. My father and brother are both ministers, and so I believe in God things. I had a God thing happen to me last night. A mutual friend introduced me to my next guest, Clint Riggin. We are on a Zoom call, and he says he is in Dallas, and I said I was too! He had just been traveling here, and I said you must come on my show. Clint Riggin is the Founder and CEO of Limitless Coaching.

Earth has been around since 2011, and each year it keeps growing. It now has a global reputation for excellence. Patty Silva, VP of Corporate Operations at EarthX, will discuss that today.

I graduated from Michigan State University in 1986 and have not been active in the MSU scene here in Dallas, but I probably should. It's much larger than many people would know. Matt Pasant, the President of DFW Spartans, is in the studio today.

Where you hear a lot of people talking about end times. There's so much chaos in the world right now. When you think about the pandemic, you think about wars. You think about the wars in Washington. It's easy to have a grim look on what's going on in society. My next guest may change your view on what's happening in the world. Benjamin Thomas is the author of Revelation Riddle.

I've owned my firm for 15 years, and at my heart, I'm a storyteller. So when you meet a fellow storyteller, it's just instant. I met my next guest at an EO event about a month ago, and we instantly clicked. Hannah Smith with Boost Your Brand is in the studio.

I'm honored that I became friends with the late great Zig Ziglar. One of his favorite sayings is that you can have anything you want in life as long as you help everybody else get what they want first. Somebody who's in the studio today has that same value. Donna Bender is the author of The Art of GIVE-ology.

I spent 25 years in TV news, and I know how TV news can sometimes scare people. When the Fed started raising interest rates a couple of years ago, there was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth that this would mean the end for commercial real estate. And, of course, that did not happen. To discuss that today is Mick Hawton, Chief Strategy Officer at Headwater, joining from our Austin studios.

I am so blessed. I have a thank God it's Monday company. The team all gets together in the conference room daily to have lunch, laugh, and discuss relationships. One of the sweetest sounds I hear all week long is the sound of employees laughing. But that's not the case in all companies. That's why I invited my next guest to the show. McKenna Curtis is the Dallas Manager of Four Day Weekend.

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.

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.

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.

Everybody knows about Farmers Branch, but if you're one of those people who hasn't visited it in a while, it's time you checked it out again. Mayor Terry Lynne, the mayor of Farmers Branch, is in the studio.

Who would you pick if you had to narrow down all the presidents to the top eight regarding leadership? My next guest is Talmage Boston. He is an author, lawyer, and historian, and he wrote this book that comes out in a couple of months titled How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From Our Top Presidents.

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.

Being a parent has always been difficult. I was a parent of young kids in the nineties, and they both turned out okay and even work with me now. However, the thing that separates me from others is social media. There wasn't a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and you see other parents doing stuff perfectly, and you've got spit up on your shirt and feel inadequate. Here to speak on that today is Kelly Shoup, a pediatric occupational therapist.

When we meet somebody for the first time, we tell ourselves a story about the life that they've lived, but we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes. And I'm talking specifically about my next guest. Azadeh Atzberger is with Finally Free Life.

I think you'll agree with me that we're all dealt a hand by God when we're born, and some people spend the rest of their lives complaining about the hand that they were dealt. And others learn how to play that hand better, and my next guest is such a person. John Bixler is the Founder and CEO of BixTech, LLC.

I've always been a fan of extreme customer service, which separates one business from another. An example I always give is that the Four Seasons beds are not much more comfortable than the La Quinta Inn. So, why do you pay several hundred dollars a night more at the Four Seasons? It's because of how they make you feel. It's a feeling, and every business in the country could learn from my next guest. Michael Hoffman is an amazing speaker, author, and my friend.

If you like something enough, you double down, which my next guest did with granola. You think to yourself, granola? Yes. We all love granola. But to buy the company that you love so much, That's my next guest's journey. Andrea Ridout with White Rock Granola is in the studio!

I own a marketing company, and we produce these high-quality podcasts/TV shows. We also get our clients on Fox, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal. But if our clients don't know what to do with that and how to turn that into money, that becomes a problem. Somebody who has the answer to that problem is Robin Alex with High Level.

I have been fascinated with real estate my entire adult life. And during the good times, anybody who can fog a mirror can sell a house, especially in North Texas. But during slow times, like it is right now, there's a bunch of inventory, so the home market isn't what it was two years ago. That's when you find out who has their chops. Somebody who knows about that is Ashley Massey, Author of The Fast Track Agent and a global real estate advisor.

For the last several years, I have been seeing an anti-aging doctor, and part of the routine is every three months, they draw my blood to make sure I've got enough vitamins A, B, C, and D, and I get to meet a lovely young lady named Viki Gutierrez. I started to talk about what her company does and how they do it, and she said I needed to meet her boss because they have the fastest-growing phlebotomy companies in North Texas. Nida Fatima and Viki Gutierrez with Filos Health are joining us in the studio today.

A few years ago, Pew Research found that more people identified themselves as not going to church than going to church. That's the first time in American history. But my next guest is John Stewart Hill with FindAHouseChurch.com, and he has a vision for changing that.

We love to feature disrupters on this show. I like to think that I'm a disrupter. That's why I'm drawn to people who are shaking things up and not doing things the same way their industry has always done things. Chris Rupert of Nametag Films is in the studio today to talk about just that.

I'm a big fan of personal branding, and I often use the analogy that if you were a realtor for Ebby in a small town for 20 years and jumped from Ebby to Remax, what transcends? Was it the Ebby brand or your brand? I would suggest that in a small town, it's more about your brand than about the corporate brand. Somebody who believes that is John Humphrey with Connect for Life.

We live in a culture that is so divided right now, Republicans versus Democrats, race, religion, you name it, we divide ourselves. But there's something about film, especially when it's done right, that can take you to another place and cause you to rethink your thoughts about how you feel about an issue. Two young ladies who know a lot about this, Hannah Wimbrey and Psalms Wimbrey, are sisters and are in the studio to share their journey.

I don't know about you, but I get confused about climate change. If you listen to the left, you hear one thing. If you listen to the right, you hear another. I've got a bestselling author in the studio right now who says that you can drill and not hurt the planet if you have the right solution. David Munson is in the studio with the Get Real Alliance.

When you think about a CPA, you usually don't think about marketing; you think about a numbers person. But, on my way home every day, I see a billboard at Beltline and the Tollway with this man's name, and I said, "I need to meet this guy." Peter Gurian, with Gurian CPA, is in the studio today.

One of the reasons I live here in Dallas is because of Dallas the TV show. I was enamored with it in the eighties and nineties, and when I had a chance to get a job here in Dallas, Texas, I jumped at it. It's amazing how film and movies can glamorize a town. To talk about the film and television industry in Dallas is Tony Armer, Dallas Film Commissioner.

I know many business owners who are pinching their pennies, trying to figure out how to save money on supplies, and they ignore the obvious piece: minimizing your tax burden. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Shalini Kodial, CEO of her own firm, Shalini Kodial, CPA, PLLC.

When I got to North Texas in 1992, I had not heard of Frisco. Everybody knows Plano, but Frisco is like a little spot on the map. And now, 200,000 call it home, and it's growing by leaps and bounds yearly. Of course, that creates growing pains for the school district. To discuss that today is Melanie Barrios-Jones, a Candidate for Frisco ISD.

Everyone is trying to build a better mousetrap, but if you're not good at marketing, nobody knows that you've built it. In the studio to talk about that today is Tony Wright, CEO of WrightIMC.

There are a lot of companies here in DFW who are offshoring some of their staffing positions half a world away. An enterprising young man just came into my life, and he has a solution with our next-door neighbors in Mexico. Pedro Barboglio is the CEO of Remote Team Solutions and is in the studio today.

Years ago, I was a member of 24 Hour Fitness, and I remember what January used to be like. You couldn't even find a treadmill; they were all packed. And by February, it's a ghost town; you could have your run of the place. The problem is that they do not build a community in those big box gyms. Two people who know about that are in the studio today, Ellie McKenzie and John Mariotti with Crossfit Odyssey.

We all love to travel. Who doesn't? And we all love to give back to our community, especially here in Dallas-Fort Worth. We're a very philanthropic community. What if you could combine the two, travel and non-profit? Somebody who knows a lot about that is Chicke Fitzgerald, CEO of Solutionz.

No wonder we have a crisis of attention with so many devices out there. Sometimes, you're watching TV, you've got your cell phone going, you get your iPad going, and the TV is on. We do have a struggle in this country to pay attention to anything. Someone who knows this very well is my next guest, Curt Steinhorst, a keynote speaker and author.

As a retired journalist, I've always been fascinated with true crime. Many times during my news career, I was asked to take another look at some famous cases. These cases make the news, but then they drift away from the headlines. And it takes people like my next guest, John Leake, a true crime author, to resurface some old stories.

Every once in a while, you meet somebody whose energy is so high that the room changes. I met Dr. Stan Harris yesterday, and I invited him on my show. He calls himself Dr. Breakthrough, and he is in the studio today!

In my 25-year history of TV news, I covered a lot of national news stories and true crime stories. In the years after, I've gotten invited on shows that reexamine these cases that happened years and years ago in my life. In the studio is a very successful detective with the Irving Police Department, Scott Hodgins.

On this show, we live to feature disrupters. If you think about the jewelry industry, it's been done the same way for generations. There's a new game in town called Noble Fine Jewelry and their jewelry rental program. Today, the COO of Noble Fine Jewelry, Chip Spoonts, will discuss that.

I love great marketing, and every single New Year for the last 20 years, I've gotten a $2 bill in the mail from Bill Perryman. It says a little note, "I want this to be the first tax-free money that you've made all year long." After 20 years of getting this $2 bill, I said I need to meet this man. And so, in the studio today is Bill Perryman, a very successful financial adviser and CPA.

It always amazes me when you start a company; you're working out of your home sometimes, and it begins to grow. Soon, you have ten employees, then 20, then 50, and 100 employees, but you have to have your technology grow with you. Many CEOs send confidential information via email, and that's a big no-no. To talk about that today is Ted Clouser and Justin Lloyd with PCA Technology Solutions.

We are all sinful creatures. It says so in the Bible, but I don't know anybody who describes himself as The Notorious Sinner. That is my next guest, Travis Ala, a very popular speaker and coach.

My father and brother are both ministers and I am a Christian and a big fan of servant leadership because Jesus was the ultimate servant leader. That's why I invited my next guest on the show, Edward Crawford, the Co-Founder of Coltala Holdings, an Afghan vet, and my friend.

I'm a confessed, horrible negotiator. I hate going into the shop because they'll sell me anything that I may or may not need. I hate going to negotiate a car deal because I'm sure I'm paying top dollar instead of a more reasonable price. That's why I wish I had my next guest with me at some of these life events, Chase McTaggart is the Founder of Quiet Man Negotiations.

I remember in the late 90s when online travel became a thing, we saw all these headlines that this meant the death of the entire travel agency model. No there's been a big backlash in how many people have had a budget trip booked in a foreign country and they messed up the hotel. Are you going to call the online number and wait on hold? No. You call a trusted travel agent. Two people who know about that are Jeff and Allison Bartlett, owners of Travel Marks Intl.

I was a proud Rotarian for about 10 years, took some time off, and the Rotary Club of Park Cities invited me to speak last week, I always get good stories when I speak at Rotary Clubs. The best story I found that day is the person who's in the studio with me right now, Holly Hollenbeck.

As many of you know, at my height, I was speaking 300 times a year and I got to be friends with a lot of professional speakers. And then Covid happened and all of these dear friends of mine suddenly went from 50 speaking engagements a year to nothing. Is the industry back to where it was pre-pandemic? Mirjana Novkovic is with Speaker Story Bank to discuss just that.

One of the things that has happened in the last few years is you don't need to have any political experience at all to get elected. You see a lot of people coming out of the woodwork, especially the people who are not happy with the way the country is going. My next guest knows about that because that is exactly what she is doing. Aimee Ramsey is running for Texas State House District 114.

At one point in my heyday, I was giving 300 speeches a year, and I felt good about myself, that I had some speaker chops. But I can't hold a candle to my next guest, Dr. Mike Smalley. He has the Mike Smalley Ministries and has given some 12,000 speeches around the globe.

I can't imagine what it must be like to fight a battle with cancer. One thing the doctor cannot prescribe is optimism and empowerment. That's what my next two guests are doing with their magazine and their non-profit, Erin Schreyer and Helen Bowles with Brighter Magazine.

There's an old saying in the book world, "The one-day novel." They're going to write a novel one day, and that one day never comes. One of the reasons for that is people put it off and they simply don't have the time or discipline to sit down and write the book. A man with a solution to that problem is Doug Crowe with Author Your Brand.

I'm a big fan of my next guest because I intend to live forever and be active until I die. I'm inspired by people like Betty White, who was 99 when she passed. These icons can do it if they keep themselves healthy, looking good, and mentally awake. Somebody who knows about that is Barbara Scheidegger, an Ageless Living Expert.

My father and brother are ministers, so I like people who don't hide their light under a bushel. It says in the Bible that your body is a temple and you have to honor it. A guy who knows all about that is Jay Johnson, Fitvangelist.

I have always been attracted to larger-than-life characters. I have people come in and out of my life, and many of them started with me recognizing that they have this aura about them. Gene DuBose with DuBose Litigation is one of those people.

I have no fashion sense, but I had the sense to marry up and I married Victoria Snee. She's the head of marketing for Highland Park Village, a fashionista, and she dresses me up like a little Ken doll. I admire people who have a fashion sense and a true fashion icon is in the studio right now, Elizabeth Ward Creel with Elizabeth W Boutique.

On this show, we love to feature disrupters people who are making a difference in their community. I can't think of a better person to talk about that today than Janice Spooner. She is the Southlake Market President for Great Plains Bank.

Every once in a while you meet a special person who lights up the room. We have very bright lights in our studios, but the lights got so much brighter when Elayna Fernández came into the studio. She joins us today to talk about her journey as the Positive MOM.

My kids are all grown now, and work for me here at Real News. I had a confession, I am guilty of underparenting. I wanted to be their best friend, so I was the all-loving dad. I can tell you there is a difference between overparenting and underparenting. You've got to find that right balance. To discuss that today is Kristen Hatton, an author, counselor, and founder of Redemptive Parenting.

Cryo is a cool therapy that has become super hot, pun intended. Mike and Karen Kaighan are with Cutting Edge Cryo Mobile Concierge and they join us in the studio today.

Dallas is the home of many big conferences, but I'm super excited about a conference that's going to happen next month. It's called the Wow Conference, and two of the driving forces behind it are in the studio today. Linda Ayoade and Devin Wilmott Johnson with LOI Graphics and the Wow Conference.

I love disruptors and I love people with hustle. One of the knocks I'm on the next generation is that they just don't have the hustle of their parents and their grandparents. I can't think of a better person to talk about hustle than the CEO of The Hustle Marketing and Design, Will Harris.

I started a podcast division some five years ago and the thing has taken off. We now host 190 different shows and Richard Cheng has one of our most popular shows called The Sativa Segment.

I am so blessed that I had an idyllic childhood. I wake up every morning praising God because when people ask me about my happiness on a scale of 1 to 10, I say 12. Someone who's had to overcome a great deal is my next guest, Dana Battaglia. She is with Livin the Dream Ministries.

I admire the practice of law, especially people who do it at the top level. When I think about somebody who is at the top of their game, I think about my next guest, Jeremy Rosenthal, who joins us in the studio. He is a Founding Partner at Rosenthal, Kalabus & Therrian.

When it comes to banking, I can't think of a more competitive space than Dallas-Fort Worth because it seems like there's a bank on every street corner. How do you stand out in a crowded field? Chris Shah, the Regional President for Great Plains Bank, is in the studio to discuss that today.

I was born in 1963 and I'm 60 years old. My generation has done things a certain way, but the next generation is seeing how to change things. I think about Airbnb and what it did to the hotel industry and Uber and what it did to the taxicab industry. My next guest is reimagining travel. Shawn Taikratoke is the CEO of Mozee, and he is here to talk about it today.

The world of health insurance is very complicated. There are many different companies out there. There is one changing the game called ParetoHealth, and Spencer Smith is in the studio right now to talk about that.

We are all guilty of making snap judgments. You've heard the old expression never judge a book by its cover. That's not necessarily true because my next guest has lived an incredible journey. She's here to share that with us. Kimberly Elliott, the Founder and CEO of Fearless She, is in the house.

I've had my business since 2008 and I get pretty proud of myself. I've got four locations: Dallas, Fort Worth, Southlake, and Austin. But, I cannot hold a candle to my next guest, Michael O. Browning Jr. He is the CEO and founder of Urban Air Adventure Park.

I know it's winter, and many people are dealing with dry skin. Your skin is the thing everybody sees. Two people who are very passionate about great skin care are with me in the studio right now. Josanna Gaither and Gynthia Aguilar are with Natura Bissē.

I am wild, crazy in love with my bride, Victoria Snee of 22 years of marriage, and she is incredibly organized. Every pillow with a karate chop, everything has its place. I'm the messy one, and she's given me a little man cave where I can have my clutter. It would probably drive my next guest crazy, Ashley Bates with OCD, which stands for organize, create, decorate.

I gave 300 speeches a year for six straight years in addition to my TV job back in the early 2000s. I got to be a decent speaker, but I can't hold a candle to my next guest, Keenan Williams. He's an author, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and my friend.

I have to admit, I'm old school. I still carry around the business card. But more often these days, when I give somebody a business card, they say, "Here, let me tap your phone." Game-changing technology like the one my next guest created is all over the place. Derrick Stewart, the Co-Founder of Clear Card, is in the studio.

I lived in Minnesota for four years, so you would think I would be used to the cold. But no, I came down to Texas and I got used to the 100 degrees in the summer and mid-winter. Two people who know a lot about extreme cold are with me right now, Josh Brown and Natalie Sherman with Cryo Nation.

Study after study has shown that the role of a father inside a home is fundamental for shaping the next generation. Two men who know much about that are Bill Dotson with Abiding Fathers and David Rodriguez with Dallas Real Estate Ministries.

My father and brother are ministers, so I'm drawn to people who live out their faith and wear it on their sleeve. My next guest, Frank Snell with Jabez Trust, does exactly that.

I will date myself, but I remember my first video game. It was called Pong, and the animation was very crude. You saw two paddles and a ball going back and forth. Fast forward, the video games are now mind-blowing. The animation makes you feel like you're really in the game. Paul Ehmer, the president of gForce Animation, knows a lot about that.

It's a common question, "What would you say to your younger self?" I have the answer to that because Jim Keyes, a legendary businessman, has written a book and this is what he would say to a 17-year-old Jim Keyes. It's called Education is Freedom.

I'm a proud member of EO Dallas. That's Entrepreneur's Organization, it's a global organization of entrepreneurs. When I first joined a decade ago, I kept hearing you have to meet an EOS implementer, and I have one on the show today. Clarence Robinson is a speaker, trainer, and EOS implementer.

She spent 22 years serving our country in the US Air Force, and she almost lost her life, but she turned her pain into purpose. She inspires others through her award-winning author and speaker career. Valessa L. Taylor, award-winning author, speaker, and coach joins us in the studio today.

It has been a tough year to be a realtor. A few years ago, you could just show up, fog a mirror, and you could sell a home. But the strong survive. And if there is something good that comes from a housing recession, it's that you find out who's the real deal. I'm sitting next to the real deal, Johnie Palmer with Palmer Premier Group powered by Monument Realty.

If you watch your show for any length of time, you know I love to feature disruptors when I can. Some people see the world differently. Some people think that's how it's always been done, and some people wonder why they would even do it that way. Two guys who are disruptors, Duryea Johnson and Jon Frost with FruitFracker.

If my next guest looks familiar, it's because Dr. Bill Johnson has been coming into your living room for almost two decades now. He's been on WFAA and all the local channels. So, you certainly recognize his face, Dr. Bill Johnson with Innovations Medical.

There's been a lot in the news in the last year or so about the mental health pandemic, the one that filled the actual pandemic. But when it comes to men, some men are afraid to raise their hands and say, "I'm struggling with something." That could be a macho attitude, but someone who is paving the way for men to talk about their situation is Kendramia Prestage, with the Healing Adam Project.

A big issue from coast to coast is mental wellness in the workplace because many companies are just not set up to deal with it. The employee might have a concern reporting it to H.R., won't tell the boss, and so people are struggling. They're burning out. To talk about that today is Michael Dickerson, a workplace mental health consultant.

My philosophy is that you shut the whole world down for nearly two years. You put people in masks. Kids can't go to school, and they can't see their friends. And then everything is back to normal again. You can't do that to the world without having a mental health pandemic. I think that's what we have. Millions and millions of people have PTSD from the pandemic, and it's undiagnosed. Two people who know this very well are Amanda Koplin and Amara Durham, with Urgent Care Mental Health.

When it comes to marijuana, it's a patchwork of laws across the country. Some 24 states have adopted medical and or recreational use of marijuana, but in all 50 states, hemp is legal. Brian Hart with the Vitam Group is here to talk about that today.

Have you noticed in recent years, that even the largest banks in the country are trying to imitate small community banks because small community banks have it figured out? When you come into a small community bank, you feel like a real person, you don't feel like a number. To talk about that today is Tyler Pope, Senior VP of Texas Security Bank.

It says in the Bible that we're all flawed, but you can take the flaw or the pain, and turn it into a purpose. That's what my next guests have done. TiQuanna Fisher and Rachel Hardy have channeled all their energy into a powerful podcast called Hurt, Heal, Evolve.

I have a family company, so I'm not looking to sell my company anytime soon. My kids, and hopefully my grandkids, will take over this company. But I know many people my age and a little bit older, who are exiting their businesses, and their kids don't want anything to do with their businesses. That's when they turn to somebody like my next guest, Michael D. Rubin, the founder and CEO of MDR & Associates.

Have you ever gone into a home or office and liked the way it smelled? You feel like you're at home. We rely so much on our sense of smell, even if we're not thinking about it. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Sooji Park, with Spark Chances.

I remember just before last year's Super Bowl, there was a lot of media hype around this He Gets Us campaign, and it was on the front pages of every newspaper in the country and leading some morning shows. Then you watched it and understood what the campaign was about. In the studio is one of the driving forces of that campaign, Phil Boone, the Senior Director of Generosity.

I admire anybody who gives their life to public service because, in many of the roles here in the great state of Texas, the compensation is not great. One of the people who knows that very well is State Senator Tan Parker, who represents the 12th Senate District of Texas.

Western medicine has its place in this world. There are some times when you just need a prescription for something. But there are other people who reach this point where Western medicine is not getting them healthy. That's when they turn to somebody like my next guest, Noel Koenke, a spiritual wellness expert.

I attended a conference a couple of weeks ago, and there were hundreds of people at the conference, but one man stood out. Not because he's tall, six foot four, but due to his larger-than-life personality. Geoff Matero, author and host of the At The Table podcast, is in the studio to talk about his journey.

You don't stick around in Dallas for long if you don't do business with honor and integrity. When I think about that subject, I think about my next guest, Greg Hext, from Hext Financial Group.

I'm a big fan of peak performers. I can guarantee you that every celebrity athlete out there is telling themselves a story: they are going to win this game, they're going to finish this marathon, whatever sport they're involved in. That is all about mindset, and as the late, great Zig Ziglar used to say, beware of stinking thinking. Nancy Cramer knows something about that; she's an executive coach and mindset expert.

Every parent's worst nightmare is losing a child. And to lose a child in a violent way is just horrific. My next guest is Adina Peyton. She has turned her pain into purpose through her nonprofit, GRAMI.

If I'm a little nervous on this show, you'll have to forgive me. I'm interviewing the great Linda McMahon, Chair of America First Policy Institute. She's world-famous. She's my friend, and I am excited to have a chance to talk to her today!

A college education is very, very important, and for some people, it's the first chance they've ever gotten to be a college graduate in their family's history. Somebody who's making dreams come true is Dani Bethune with C5 Texas.

I'm a big fan of Local Profile. I get it every single month, and I saw a recent addition of the Local Profile, and they featured this amazing couple with this great smile, and I could just feel the energy off the magazine. I knew then that I had to get this couple into my studio. Chalon Clark and Richard Thomas are in the studio today to talk about the amazing work they are doing with The Present House Hospitality Group.

I have been so impressed with what I've seen in terms of the Indian American population in DFW in the last 20 years. It's grown exponentially. I'm told some 300,000 Indian-Americans call DFW home. And one of the reasons it's such a vibrant community is because of its leaders. Sunil Maini and Kamal Fulani are in the studio today, and they are two of the leaders of the US India Chamber of Commerce of DFW.

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 describes herself as the queen of the get-up. Ari Medrano is a thought leader and the founder of Miracle Mindset.

I have a fascination with oil and the people who get rich in the oil business. Dallas, the TV show, was one of my favorite shows. That's one of the reasons we came to Dallas. But I have to be honest, it's a lot of work to drill and be on an oil rig. There's a lot of people making money in their sleep, and they never stepped foot on an oil rig. To discuss this today is Henry Harrison, with Mineral Royalties Group, LLC, Dallas.

A shout out to my beautiful bride, Victoria Snee, because she's responsible for my next guest. She was suffering some aches and pains a couple of weeks ago, and she saw this amazing doctor of physical therapy. After one session, she came back and said, "You have to have this guy on your show." Cris Maya, doctor of physical therapy, is in the studio today!

I recently turned 60 years old, and I think it's at this time of life that people begin to think about their legacy. What was all of this about? That's why I invited my next guest in the studio, Bryce Runge, the author of Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up.

I have always been fascinated by the love affair between horses and people. Even if you go to the Old Testament, you see people riding horses, and that love affair continues today. It gets strengthened because of people like my next guests, Sara Sasso Toolin and Kelly Hammett, the co-founders of ForteBella Equestrian.

I have always been fascinated with disruptors. A few years ago, if somebody told you the taxicab industry would be dying because of something called Uber, everybody would laugh at you. But that's what's happening. Industries are being disrupted every single day, and one of those industries is the liquor industry. And the guy who's doing the disrupting is my next guest, Steven Paul Matsumoto with Juno's Liquor.

If you think about it, life is about diversity, and it's not how many times you get knocked down; it's how many times you get up. We all know that because of the pandemic, we all got knocked down for a long time. And some people are still living in that nightmare and have never gotten back up. Joining us today to discuss this is Melissa "Missy" Ashton, a speaker, author, and executive leadership coach.

I don't know about you, but I love the holidays! I also dread the holidays for the same reason that many people dread the holidays. All the food! Sometimes you're having two Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners. We all know the drill. Shannon Sutton, a health and fitness expert, is here to help us get through the holidays without packing on the pounds.

Millions and millions of people wake up every morning, and I call it Monday moaning because they're waking up, and they need that cup of coffee. They're waking up with a bad attitude instead of an attitude of gratitude. To talk about that, Janna Johnson with Revive by Janna.

I like full circle, and my next guest has the same journey. As a child, Frank Hallum attended the Boys and Girls Clubs, and now he is the director of one of the most vibrant chapters, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dallas.

I can promise you that there are millions and millions of high-achieving professionals and CEOs out there who are absolutely miserable. They climb to the top of the hill, thinking they will find glory up there; instead, they find desperation. That's when they turn to people like my next guest, Kevin Kepple. He's a speaker, podcaster, two-time bestselling author, and an expert on helping people get unstuck.

They call it the Silver Tsunami. Baby boomers are aging out and retiring. Those baby boomers who happened to own companies, sometimes can't pass it on to their kids. Their kids are not interested in their business. That's when they come to a guy like my next guest, Dave Micek, a Broker and Business Advisor with Website Closers.

I was a storyteller in TV news for 25 years and now, as the head of a PR firm, I've been helping other people tell their stories for 15 years. I'm fascinated with how you create a personal brand. How do you tell your own story? What is your story? To talk about that today are two experts, Jimmy Nelson and Jonathan George, both of whom are storytelling and personal branding experts.

So as the owner of a marketing firm, I'm passionate about branding, but so many people think the brand is a logo now. It's not a logo. It's not a slogan on a wall in your break room. You have a personal brand and somebody who knows a lot about that is Jonathan George, the Human Hitmaker.

On this show, I love to interview rock stars - those people who have soared to the top of their business. My next guest is just that. Gillian Cunningham is among the top 2% of all realtors in DFW.

Well never in my adult life has space exploration been so cool, thanks to the battle of the billionaires getting into space. Now all our young people from coast to coast are suddenly fascinated with space again. Somebody who knows a lot about that - Danielle Dallas Roosa, the founder of Back to Space.

Well, I can't think of a more iconic brand when you think about luxury in Dallas than Stanley Korshak. A good friend of mine, Chuck Steelman, was on my show recently and said, "You know who you need to meet? You need to meet the owner." Crawford Brock is here today to talk more about the luxury brand.

I think one out of three people on the planet is a Christian, so obviously the word has gotten out. But there are nations where they've never heard the word of Jesus before. Joining us today to talk about that is Steve Sharp, founder of Global Heart Ministries.

I call my company a thank God it's Monday company because the team loves each other. They love to talk, laugh, tell stories, work hard, and play hard. In order for this company to continue running as effectively as it has, we have to create a safe place for our employees. To talk about that today is Venus V. Piñeyro De Hoyos, founder and CEO of Safespace Plus.

I have so much respect for the hard-working men and women in the medical field. They have tireless jobs, sometimes around the clock. I can't think of a more rewarding part of the medical field than fertility. Think about the gift that you're giving individuals and couples who are trying to conceive. To talk about that today is Dr. Julian Escobar, owner of Conceive Fertility Center.

You've heard me talk about Success North Dallas many, many times in this show. A very successful networking organization that has been around for 35 years. They've had some of the top speakers on the planet, and one of them is the gentleman who is joining me right now, Nick Kennedy, an author, speaker, and coach.

If you have watched this show for any length of time, you know that I love featuring successful business owners and entrepreneurs. I especially love those people who came from humble beginnings. With that said, I can't think of a better person to interview than Trevor W. Goodchild. He started as a homeless teen, and now he has an incredible story.

I never served my country, but I have so much respect for the hard-working men and women who have. Just think about all the business lessons that you learn in the military. Someone who knows all about that is Bob Pizzini with Elevate Your Leadership.

I have a marketing firm, so I'm fascinated with other people who are in my space and how they do it differently. One of those people is my new best friend, Sheila Rondeau. She is the CEO of MOGXP.

I've always admired people who play instruments. I struggled in school. I tried to learn the guitar and the violin, but I never got good. I really admire those people who stuck with it, especially those who are performing at an elite level. One of those people is Jess Garland; she's a singer-songwriter, recording and performing artist, and my friend.

This is a momentous occasion, and this may be the youngest guest ever to appear on my show. Danica Hermann is a 13-year-old child prodigy, and she shares her incredible journey today.

As an entrepreneur, I'm always fascinated by companies as they're growing. Sometimes they get stuck; they're treading water, and then they hit another level. Sometimes, it takes a successful business coach to come in and show the CEO or C-suite their blind spots. Somebody who knows all about this is Mike Topa with MTM Global LLC.

There are countless colleges that are proud of their business schools, but the crème de la crème is the Harvard Business School. Joining me today is the President of the Harvard Business School Club of Dallas, Nancy Schmitt.

God spoke to Noah, as we know, and told him to build an ark. Thank goodness he didn't tell my next guest to build an ark. He told her to start a nonprofit, which is now doing amazing things. Jessica Bartnick joins us in the studio today. She is the CEO and co-founder of the Foundation for C.H.O.I.C.E.

It's not every day that you get to interview the owner of such an iconic brand as Golden Chick. I'm very excited to introduce Mark Parmerlee, the owner of Golden Chick.

I love disruptors, and we are in this time in our lives when every industry seems to be disrupted. Airbnb completely disrupted the hotel industry; Uber disrupted the taxicab industry; and somebody had to come along and disrupt the taco industry. That somebody is Velvet Taco. Their Director of Culinary, Chef Venecia Willis, joins us in the studio today.

My father and my brother are both ministers, and obviously my faith guides every decision that I make, especially inside of this company. Honor and integrity are important to a lot of people. My next guest knows something about that; Jeff Bessa is a chair with C12.

If you watch the show for any length of time, you know that I love to interview entrepreneurs. Too often, these entrepreneurs are good at making widgets, but they're not good at people. And isn't that what it's all about? Adam Buttorff is a certified human behaviorist and entrepreneur, and we will hear his story today.

I grew up in Detroit, and I learned to hustle. I was at 7 Mile and Livernois, and you had to hustle as a kid in Detroit. As a result, I relate to anybody who grew up in a tough section of town. My next guest knows all about that; Xavier Miller is the host of the Millionaire Mindsets Podcast.

I am so proud to introduce my next guest because he is a friend and a mentor. He has been with me since the very beginning when I wrote my book, Free Publicity, in 2002. He was one of the first people who took me under his wing and said, "I've got some people that you need to meet." And what a journey it has been! We are honored to be joined by Bill Wallace, founder of Success North Dallas.

When I started my PR firm in my home 15 years ago, I was trying to be so much for so many people. Then, I decided I was going to specialize in something, so we specialized in experts. I love experts and helping them tell their stories to the world. Someone who relates to that is Ruth Ann Rose, owner and CEO of Rose Marketing Solutions.

One of the things that makes Dallas-Fort Worth such a special place to call home is the philanthropy. There are some wonderful people who write checks to some wonderful non-profits. A beautiful non-profit has come into my view, and today we talk to two individuals who know all about it. Natalie Huscheck and Hannah Dorsey are from Well-Grounded Coffee Community.

This is a television network, so the studio lights are always very bright. I was walking down the hallway the other day, and the lights were just radiant. Then I realized it was because of the guest who was walking down the hall. Wayne Gono, who has a million-dollar smile, is with us today to discuss his businesses, Regal Plastics and BizOwnersEd.org.

About a year ago my daughter and son-in-law announced that they were moving from Plano to Keller. I've been to Keller as a television reporter many years ago, and I have fallen in love with this beautiful town. Today I invited Mayor Armin Mizani of Keller, Texas on the show so he can talk about why this is such a special place to live.

My wife and I are proud residents of the great city of Plano, Texas, and one of the reasons Plano is such a great place to live is because it's so philanthropic. People are so generous there, and I can't think of a better place to spotlight than the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. Joining us in the studio today are Marta Lilly, the Executive Director, and Craig Perry, President of the Board.

As the head of a podcast network and successful PR firm, we've had to make a lot of hires over the years. There is a science to hiring the right person. We've got the right team now, but there were several years during the 15 years of operation where I didn't want to come to work. It was so sick and dysfunctional because we had the wrong people. Somebody who knows all about that is Joe Frodsham, President of CMP.

In my news career, I worked for some very large corporations, and when they were going to fire somebody, they had to do it by the book. It was a litigious society and people could get sued for anything, so they always did it by the book. To talk about that today is Shelley Majors, an HR strategy consultant and MBA.

I don't know about you, but I've lived in homes before where the windows were really drafty, and when the temperature drops, you're turning on the heater. You're wondering, how much of that heat is just being lost out of a bad window? To talk about home improvements today is Amanda McDaniel, VP of Brand and Culture at Expo Home Improvement.

I can't think of a more recession-proof business than the one that my next guest owns. It's the cleaning business, and he has one of the fastest-growing cleaning companies in the great state of Texas. Darwin Fajardo, the CEO of DF Cleaning, is in the studio today.

There are millions and millions of artists out there who would pray to be considered for a Grammy when it's their first album. You've got to pinch yourself. Well, that's exactly what's happened to my next guest. Derrick Walker is in the studio to talk to us about his consideration for a Grammy Nomination.

I've got to confess, I'm nervous, and a little bit giddy, because I'm interviewing my favorite boss of all time. Maria Barrs is in the studio, and we worked together for 15 years when she was the news director at KDFW Fox 4. We are going to reminisce and talk about her current book, Parallel Secrets.

My PR firm has the honor of working with the National Breast Cancer Foundation for several years now. One of the reasons it's such a special relationship is because of their director of public relations, Ashley Miller. She joins us today to talk about what the foundation is doing to help women and their families through the difficulties of breast cancer.

I'm a storyteller, and I've always thought that I have a calling instead of a career. I did it for 25 years, as you just saw, in TV news, and now I'm telling it through my own company. I met a kindred spirit just now, John Loyd, the Wealth Planner, and he has a calling instead of a career.

We all suffer setbacks, but the key to life is not how many times you get knocked down. It's how many times you get up. My next guest knows that very well. She is Sherry Buckley-Brown, an author, a speaker, a coach, and my friend.

I just turned sixty, and I feel pretty good about myself in terms of being a good entrepreneur. Then you run into a young man like my next guest, Drew Donahoe. He is 27 years old and has already helped hundreds of companies in his professional career.

I think we can all agree that we have gotten away from our constitutional roots. I think our Founding Fathers would not recognize the country that they've birthed. Think about it: big taxation, bloated government, and a huge federal debt. That was not what this country was founded on. Two people that agree with me on that are Julia Miller and Mark Boyett, co-hosts of The Great Exodus Conference.

I know a lot of Americans who are born here, and they're complainers. They say, "Well, if only we had a different president," or, "If only we had a different economy." Sometimes it takes a real entrepreneur and an inspirational person to come into your life to change the way you think. My next guest is going to do just that. Taya Manhattan is a mindset and business coach.

When COVID did a number on the country, and it certainly did a number on company culture, it changed the way leadership is run in companies and the way people sell.

In the last couple weeks, we've all seen the heartbreaking images coming out of Israel. For my next guest, Kim Zoller, a North Texas Mother, this is personal because her kids are involved. She will share her and her kids story today on the show.

I'd like to see myself as a serial entrepreneur, but I turn that side of my brain off and keep saying to myself, "Just do chicken right, Jeff. Just do chicken right." My next guest is a bona fide serial entrepreneur, Chris Picou, CEO of Lido labs.

This show couldn't be more personal to me. I'm interviewing my own father, and it's quite an honor because I attribute all of my skills in communication, TV reporting, and now public relations to my dad. My dad, my hero, and I'm going to call him the world's greatest dad, Dr. Robert H. Crilley.

There's an old saying in the book world called the one day novel. "I'm going to write a novel one day," and that never happens. The secret is you have to dare to fail. Not all books are successful. Somebody who knows about that is James Hwang, the CEO of 1Path and author of Dare to Fail.

I'm a big fan of the TV show Cheers, and one of my favorite characters is Cliff Clavin because he's famously a know-it-all. Well, nobody really likes a know-it-all, let's be honest. What you want to do is be a learn-it-all. In the studio today is Damon Lembi, a CEO, speaker, and best-selling author.

It makes me sad sometimes when I go out to dinner, look at the family at the table next to me and see that every single person is on their device, and they aren't really communicating. Some of my favorite memories are, as a child, going to grandma and grandpa's house. A couple of people who know a lot about that are Mike and Rosemary Green, founders of Grandma and Grandpa Camp.

There is an unfair stereotype about pageants. They're largely mocked by social media as places where you go to talk about world peace and appear as a beauty pageant contestant, but when it comes to today's pageants, nothing could be further from the truth. To talk about that today is Dr. Terre Quinn with Breast Cancer Surgeons of Texas and the current Miss Texas Senior America.

I am a proud member of EO Dallas. That's Entrepreneur's Organization. It's a global organization, and the Dallas chapter is very vibrant. There are about 150 entrepreneurs on the Dallas side, and the Fort Worth side is catching up with 140 entrepreneurs. A lot of those people end up building their business and selling it. When they sell, they have to make sure they're doing it right, as if they had a realtor who knows the lay of the land. To talk about that today is Julie Barlow with Transworld Business Advisors.

My father and brother are both ministers, so I like to spotlight people who are living out their faith-based journey when I can. My next guest has really impressed me. Jayme Thompson is the host of The Art and Faith Podcast and is here to talk about her journey.

I don't remember every single intern I ever worked with at Fox 4, but I do remember one. She touched my heart because she's just so full of life. Every room she enters becomes brighter, and she's doing that now through her jewelry. Shannon Osborne with Bead Crazy Shannon is in the studio today.

In most large urban communities, there are food deserts, and it doesn't often make the news. On this show, I want to put a spotlight on a wonderful nonprofit that is really addressing the food desert problem in Dallas. Mark Jones is the Chairman of the Board of Bonton Farms.

As a marketing guy, I'm fascinated by brands that are either going up or down, sideways or worse. No one knows they exist. To talk about brand strategy today, three international experts: Alex Duplan, Benji Vega, and Brandon Barker with Brandworkshops.

When I first started my PR firm some 15 years ago, one of the first people who came into my life was a wonderful doctor named Dr. Francis Murphy with Savior Faire. He is doing some amazing things with neurology and is here to talk about that with us today.

I am fascinated by people who are playing at the top of their game. My next guest is Dunham Biles, one of the top litigators in North Texas and a good friend.

CBD is all the rage. You can't go anywhere without seeing a CBD store or something like it, but not all products are created equal. To talk about that today is Leigh Barnes, a CBD International Educator.

I'm a big Shark Tank fan, and I am always nervous for the people doing the pitching. You're watching them, and we know it's all been edited, but sometimes the pitch just falls on deaf ears. Sometimes they get an investor like Mark Cuban to believe in their company. How do you prepare for something like that? You hire someone like my next guest, Kat Weaver, Founder of Power to Pitch and a presentation coach.

So it's a very familiar story: a couple is about to retire, and they decide to take all their nest egg money and start a business in their home. They build a beautiful website, and then crickets, because nobody is visiting the website. There's an art to that. To talk about that today, Michael Tritthart, an international lead generation instructor.

I have some twelve thousand connections on LinkedIn and literally thousands and thousands of contacts on my phone. The media will call me from time to time, and they ask for an expert. That resource is right at my fingertips, and I just can't access it. Can you identify with that? Someone who can is Megan Roudebush, Founder and CEO of keepwith.

I've got to be honest, people don't like to think about wills. They just don't want to think about dying, and so they put it off. They put it off and something happens, then their family is left struggling to try and figure out what mom or dad's wishes were. To talk to us about that today is Jill Mckinney, an estate planning expert.Link to Jill's website: mfgdocs.com/a/Jill

If you had to pinpoint one part of our economy that is pretty recession proof, it's health care. They call it the silver tsunami: everybody is getting older, and we need more medical care. That's why, especially in Dallas-Fort Worth, it seems like there's a medical building every block. To talk about that today are Sanober Syed and Oksana Gipp with Lion's Gate Medical.

There are needs for more and more data centers every single day because of the explosion of information. I learned recently that data doesn't just sit there in the cloud. It actually has legs to something on the ground, and to protect that data, you run into people like my next guest, Jaclyn Mispagel. She is the Executive Vice President of Product and Marketing with Evoque.

There's been a teacher shortage for generations, but it got acute during the pandemic. Obviously, a lot of teachers retired. There's also a lot of stress on teachers. People don't appreciate how much work they put in and how much money they dole out of their own pockets, sometimes to provide the children with supplies, so our hearts and our biggest salute goes out to teachers. Somebody who's addressing the teacher shortage right now is Justin Eberhardt with Teach for America.

If you didn't know anything about the supply chain, we all found out about it during the height of the pandemic when everything was stuck on a ship in a port someplace and couldn't come to the U.S. Just as they were starting to get things put back together again, we have a UAW strike, and the supply chain is now the lead story in everybody's newscast. To talk about that today, a very wise man, Trey Hoobler, and he is the Co-Founder of Ceres Technology.

I'm kind of a technology idiot. I used ChatGPT for the first time four months ago, and it freaked me out. It was amazing! It could write a best man's toast, just like that, and other amazing things. But there's the good, there's the bad, and there's the ugly. To talk to us about that today is an international expert on AI, Deepak Seth.

I admire the hard working men and women who served our country in the military. Think about all the life lessons they've learned: punctuality, teamwork, discipline, grit, overcoming obstacles, challenges, and having a backup plan if the first plan doesn't work. Somebody who knows a lot about that is our guest today, Brian Maddocks. He's a leadership expert and a retired Air Force major.

The only thing I know about fashion is what my wife buys me. Shout out to my wife, a real life Barbie girl, Victoria Snee. She's the head of marketing for Highland Park Village, and she hangs around the fashion scene quite a bit. She gets called on by different TV stations to come in and comment on fashions, but that's all I know, just being around it. But I am fascinated by people who have great fashion sense. Somebody who has a lot of fashion sense is my next guest, Robyn Chauvin, with Robyn Chauvin Productions.

I remember at the height of the pandemic, the news was talking about this can either bring couples closer together or drive them further apart. Now, we see the pandemic somewhat in our rearview mirror, but Covid is still popping its ugly head up from time to time. To get a recap on what's happened here in the last few years, we went to one of the most respected family law attorneys in North Texas. Natalie Gregg is the Managing Attorney for the Law Offices of Natalie Gregg, and she is in studio today.

If one good thing came from the pandemic, we all started to recognize that our health care workers are truly heroes. At a time when everyone was panicking, they were saying goodbye to their families and going into work, into this uncertainty. I mean, none of us knew how grave the pandemic would be. In a small way, we can all say thanks by being part of an amazing nonprofit. It's called Support Our Scrubs, and the founder, Crystella McIvor, is in studio today.

I don't know how old you are, but when I was growing up there were only four channels, and I think some of them had static, so I couldn't see all four. But it was ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. These days you can look at your phone and see a billion channels. Everybody who has a phone is now becoming a broadcaster. And what it's doing is it's changing the way we receive and consume information and content. To talk about that today is Jenny Lucky and Adnan Maqsood, and they are two thought leaders when it comes to faith based broadcasting.

In the world of medicine, there are two kinds of people. First, there are the worker bees, which are necessary. Every hospital needs them, but then you also have the healthcare entrepreneurs, the ones that look at the healthcare system and say, "There must be a better way." In studio today is Mary Blake, a healthcare CEO and clinical consultant.

I've been running this PR firm for 15 years now, and I think somewhere in year one I met Dr. Jill Waggoner. She is just amazing. She is a family practice concierge, a bright light in this world, and most of all, she is my friend.

I have a boutique PR firm and a podcast network, and I've ogt my hands full. I can't imagine being my next guest. Branden Muhl is a serial entrepreneur, and he has got his hands in a lot of different arenas.

As many of you know, I wrote a nonfiction book some 20 years ago, and I was just basically telling my story from my own life. I really admire people who are writing about other people's lives and creating characters. Our next guest, Laura Merchant, did just that and is the author of A Better Man.

I'm kind of a dummy when it comes to investing, and I would urge you that if I'm going to long a stock, you should short that stock. I've been a failure in the stock market, but I admire the people who are really good at it. Our guest today is Eric Lewis, the host of The Weekly Option Podcast, and he is here to talk to us about the ups and downs of options investing.

I think we're all in the business of persuasion. You're always selling someone on something. You're selling your boss, you're selling your wife, you're selling your kid on doing his homework, or you're selling a cop into not giving you a ticket. It's all about persuasion and having that confidence to get your message across. To talk about that today is an expert on persuasion, former attorney Shane Read.

In medical school they don't teach you anything about running a business. So anytime I run into an entrepreneurial physician, I am fascinated. On the show today is Dr. David Darrigan, the president and founder of Elite Hospital Partners, and he also owns The Kava Bar.

The financial services industry is huge. Here in Dallas-Fort Worth, it seems like every other person that you meet is in financial services, but not all of them are created equal. To talk about that today is Vance Barse with Your Dedicated Fiduciary.

I am reading headlines in the Wall Street Journal that say companies large and small across the United States are bringing in outside experts just to remind employees how to act in the workplace because they've been working remotely for so long. Jan Goss with Show Up Well Consulting is our guest today, and she will talk to us about proper etiquette in the workplace.

As a preacher's kid, I have never hid my faith under a bushel, and I'm a big fan of those organizations that allow you to speak your truth, especially when it comes to your faith. Somebody who knows about that is Emily Bell-Wootten, the director of communications for the DFW Technology Prayer Breakfast.

It seems like a decade ago we started hearing a lot about CBD, and now it seems like there's a store on every street corner. What is fact and what is fiction? To talk to us about that today is registered nurse Summer Hanson.

One of the highlights of my news career was I freed an innocent man from prison. He had served five and a half years, and it was an honor to be a part of his freedom.

In recent years, diversity and inclusion has become a big buzz phrase that every company likes to say, but what does it actually mean to live it out? Somebody who knows a lot about that is Ebony Travis Tichenor, who is a global expert in wellbeing and HR employee policy.

I own a marketing firm, and it specializes in public relations. We get guests on radio stations all the time, but often clients ask me, "Should I buy radio advertising?" To answer that question today is Breezey Clark, a marketing consultant with Townsquare Media.

I think the pandemic has left us all shell shocked. I don't know about you, but I still have this nervousness that something is around the corner. I think if you look at corporate America, there are employees who feel that same way: "Am I going to get laid off? What's around the next corner?" To talk to us about fear is Jeff Goodin, an award-winning speaker and entertainer.

If you are a parent who has an autistic child, it's all consuming. You're spending almost every waking hour thinking about ideas to make your life and your child's life easier, and when that child becomes an adult, it doesn't get any easier. You're still parenting. To talk to us about that today are Jamie Wheeler and Lisa Christian with Austen's Autistic Adventures.

Have you noticed how loud the world has gotten? It feels like everyone is talking, and no one is listening. They're practically shouting at each other, especially when it comes to politics and different social issues, and when you get on Facebook and X, it seems like everybody is writing in all caps. Our next guest, Brenda Cox Harkins, author of the bestselling book Loud Is Not A Language, knows something about that.

I have been very blessed when it comes to hiring people. I call this company a "Thank God It's Monday" company because the employees all love each other, get along, and really consider themselves a work family. I got lucky, and we can all think of times where you hired the wrong person or they looked great on paper but didn't work out. Somebody who knows something about that is Martha Reynolds, Founder and CEO of My People Person.

As the CEO of a boutique PR firm and television network, I'm always wondering how you get to the next level. Sometimes, I don't have the idea and strategies to get to the next level because I'm in my own silo. That's when you reach out to the experts, and one expert who knows something about that is Jim Talerico. He's the President of the DFW chapter of the Institute of Management Consultants.

I am so excited today because I have a real life movie star in my studio. Rickey Hill inspired the movie The Hill, and it's based on his true life story of overcoming a spinal disease to become a baseball legend.

I am a big fan of supplements. I've been taking them for years, but every once in a while, I wonder how many of them are actually effective.

I have two beautiful children, and I can't imagine losing either one of them. It's a pain that only someone who has lost a child can relate to. Joe Johnson can relate to that, as he lost his son Ashton. However, through that tragedy, he created an incredible program, The CloudDancer Scholarship.

It's unfortunate that even the word immigration has become polarizing. When you hear it on the news, depending on which channel you're watching, there's a slant to the word immigrant, and it's unfortunate because we're a country of immigrants. We all came from another country, other than the Native Americans. To talk about that today is Joseph Galliani, author of The Last Real Immigrant.

I reached the halftime of my career about 15 years ago when I started this PR firm. I had reached the top of the little mountain I was climbing called local TV news, and I looked around and said, "Is this all there is?" Thank goodness I left the news because I've never been happier. Somebody who knows something halftime is my next guest, Tom McGehee, the co-CEO of Halftime.

I think you would agree with me that being a kid today is much more difficult than it's ever been before. There's cyberbullying, bullying face to face at school, and we're just starting a new school year. A lot of kids are self-aware because of some imperfection or perceived imperfection that another kid puts on them. A husband and wife team that is doing something about it is Dr. Terri Howard-Hughes and Clint Hughes, and they write amazing children's books.

In the last couple of decades, I've been around a lot of very successful women networking groups, and the secret is to lift as you climb. Somebody who knows a lot about that is today's guest, Dagmar Fleming. She's the founder of The Athena Circle.

Many companies put a slogan on the breakroom wall, and they think that they've changed their company culture. But they just don't get it. It's not about putting in a ping pong table or bringing in food. To create a true company of owners, you have to invest in your people. Today's guest is Taito Nakagawa, CEO of Insala, to tell us how to implement those ideas.

I'm impressed with lawyers, especially those who climb to the top of their field, and in the studio today is one of those people. Javier Perez is a top attorney here in North Texas, and he talks to us about his practice and what got him to where he is today.

I've said this before: I think the whole world is in a mental health pandemic. You can't shut down the world and shut down economies and send everybody into their home with a mask and then pretend that it didn't happen. I think we've gone back to business as usual, but the mental health pandemic continues. To talk with us today about this are psychologists Dr. Beth Lusby and Dr. Sheryl Jackson.

I can't tell you how excited I am for this show! It's very self-indulgent of me because I'm a tequila guy. I've been on the tequila diet, so to speak, for the last several years and I swear by it. You can actually lose weight! It's a thing! Joining us in the studio today are representatives from the North Texas Tequila Club, Troy Gonzalez, Fernando Ortiz, and Daniel Fonseca.

I love Major League Baseball, but I have to tell you the truth: all the fun is being had in the minor leagues. They can take more chances. They can be goofy, or they can be more spontaneous. To talk with us today about Minor League Baseball is Chris Almendarez, the President of the Round Rock Express.

I've always admired people who invest in real estate because, famously, some of the largest fortunes on the planet were made through real estate. It's the one thing that just continues to increase. Every once in awhile, there's a little dip, but that's a buying opportunity for someone. Joining us in studio to talk on that today are Michele Christopher and Mike Hall. They're both highly experienced real estate investors.

Thanks to all the remote learning during Covid, our children have fallen behind in school. According to some studies, they lost a whole year. To talk about that today, someone who is leading a Tutor Revolution, Ashley Ram Gosnell.

Our guests today are Rusty Zercher and Kelly Broome from RAB, a collections firm that helps those small businesses recover that debt.

Thanks to movies like Sound of Freedom, human trafficking is now suddenly at the top of the minds of millions of Americans, and that's important because there have been countless organizations on the front line of that fight. Today we are joined by Christi Nabors, of DeliverFund, who tells us how they are helping in that fight.

I think we would all agree that there is a crisis of trust in this country. We don't believe in our government institutions. We don't believe in corporate America because so many times corporations have lied to their consumers. Today we speak with Dr. Mike Armour, a C-Suite leadership coach, bestselling author, and keynote speaker, to discuss Leadership and the Power of Trust.

We have a mental health pandemic right now because of Covid, when so many of our young people were home remote learning and distancing themselves from their friends.

You can have a school counselor talk to them, or you can enroll them in Kim McSwain's program at the KM Agency.

As we saw during COVID, countless businesses went under, and then they tried to sell it to someone else, they couldn't get much because they hadn't set themselves up for success. To talk about that today, Jeffrey Brewster is the founder and CEO of BT Valuation.

But somebody who has been at the forefront of this fight for many years now has been Janet Jensen, Founder and CEO of The Jensen Project.

I've been a big fan of concierge medicine for about a decade now when we started to use a local physician in Dallas/Fort Worth. It saves us a lot of time and money because when employees are feeling sick, they don't necessarily have to take a full day off and sit in some germy waiting room some place to be seen by a doctor. To talk about that today, one of my favorite concierge physicians, Dr. Shahan Chowdhury with Tailored Health.

On today's episode of the Jeff Crilley Show, I met with singing prodigy Grace Figueroa to talk about her impressive talent. At just seventeen, Grace has already managed to hit the high notes of her music career.

If you've been watching the news in the past couple of weeks you know that the supreme court handed down some major rulings kept coming out so quickly that I don't even think the media could fully digest it before another ruling came out. To talk about that Naim Sakhia, he is an attorney-at-law and he is licensed to practice all over the country including the supreme court.

I remember when my daughter came to me four years ago thinking about a podcast division for this company. I laughed at her. I said, "Who listens to podcasts?" She says, "My generation does, trust me!" And thank God I trusted her because now it really takes up most of our time here at our Real News Communications Network. Someone who is equally as passionate about podcasting is David Ezell. He's a Brand Expert and a popular Podcaster.

Well, I don't know about you but every time I pick up a newspaper or watch a television program about Gen Z, they are just condemning this generation. The knock on this generation is that they're entitled, they're lazy, and they don't have the ambition of their parents or grandparents, but it's time we set the record straight and to do that, Kristen Geez. She is a Gen Z enthusiast and serial entrepreneur.

Well, I know in this country when people think about investing they often think about the stock market, when you watch Fox Business or CNBC. All they are talking about all day long is the stock market, but there are many other ways to make money and one traditional way to make money is real estate investing. Some of the greatest fortunes on the planet started with real estate. To talk about that today, Michael Hill and Leonora Castillo.

Well, I don't know if you've ever had this experience. You're banking with a bank and it gets swallowed up by another bank and pretty soon you feel like just a number in a file. Well, my next guest is going to talk about why that is not possible at IBC Bank - Oklahoma. Bill Schonacher is the President and CEO.

Well, I enjoy a good glass of wine but I don't think I enjoy it the way I would if I was, say born and raised in Italy because it's an entire mind-body experience in Italy. They make it almost a symphony of flavors and experience and going out to eat in Italy is much different than going out to eat in the States. To talk about that today, Aldo Bove.

When you think of all time great singers you might think of the Beyoncé's and Rhianna's of the world, but we are going to add another to this list. Lexi McSperitt the singing child prodigy joins us in studio today.

Have you noticed how art can change a room? Well, now corporate America has recognized that as well. You go to hospitals these days and hospitals can become a place where you get anxious but then you see these beautiful murals and pieces of art that really kind of bring down the tension in the room. To talk about that, Nita Patel from Nita Patel Fine Art.

Well, 50 years ago, if you were a life coach, you would starve. Who would hire a life coach back then? But these days, almost everybody has a life coach. Everybody's going through stuff. The pandemic was a big trigger for a lot of people, and so almost everybody I know has some version of a life coach, an accountability partner to talk to. Kristy Kerns, thanks for coming on the show.

If you watch this show for any length of time, you know I love to feature entrepreneurs. And in the legal world, not every attorney is an entrepreneur, but I have one next to me, Julie Wolf, with Wolf Law.

Some banks, as they grow larger and larger and take over other banks, can become impersonal. But that's not the story for Comerica. Jim Weber is the Chief Experience Officer for Comerica.

I can't think of a hotter diet than the Mediterranean diet. We've been hearing about that for years now, but it's also a mindset. A couple that knows something about that is Anita Heidema and Chef Dario Tomaselli and they're with O'Live Your Life.

I've always been fascinated with those people who compete in pageants. It involves a lot more than looks. It's drive, determination and talent as well. To talk about that Madison Matlock, she's the current Miss DeWitt County and she's running for Miss Texas.

It looks like the pandemic is in our rearview mirror, but there's another pandemic, and that's a pandemic of addiction. So many people are self-medicating to deal with loneliness or stress, and it's creating a real tidal wave of new customers, so to speak, for addiction treatment facilities. To talk about that today, Drew Dutton, he's the president and CEO of Phoenix House Texas and Chad Williamson, he is a recovery advocate.

We hear on the news all the time about stem cells. You might be listening to an ad on the radio and and there's a lot of misinformation out there. People hear it, don't know exactly what it is. So to separate fact from fiction, Dr. Wade McKenna, the Founder of Moab Texas.

What's that old expression, "man makes a plan and God laughs." I had a plan to be a TV reporter for the rest of my life, and God had another plan for me . Thank God I listened! Somebody who knows something about that, Fred Haiman, he's a Founding Partner of Haiman Hogue.

RVing has been growing in popularity for about a decade now, but I think it really took off during the pandemic when so many Americans said, "Well, if we're going to isolate and it's healthy to be outdoors, why not just sell everything and go RVing." Somebody who knows something about that, Christine Swartz, she's the RV Mama of 4.

So there are defining moments in all of our lives. For my next guest, Naomi Butler with Attitude and Gratitude Living, was her epiphany. When she got cancer, it caused her to relook at how she's spending her life. Now she's living life with gusto.

I've seen countless surveys and it really doesn't matter how old you are, these surveys are saying that Americans don't think they're ever going to be able to retire. Isn't that a shame? You work your whole life in order to save and have a comfortable retirement, yet many people who are now forced to be working into their seventies and eighties because they just can't afford to retire. To talk about that today, Mike Crews, he's the CEO of North Texas Wealth Management.

If you're a business owner, it is absolutely critical that you have a great business relationship with your banker. And these days, not all banks are built the same. You have these these huge banks where you just feel like just a number. And then you can also bank with a banker who knows what he's doing and really pays attention to his customers. And by that I mean Bill Lowe, the Chairman President and CEO of Harmony Bank.

If you watch this show for any length of time, you know, I love to feature people who are playing at the top of their game. I don't want to make an unfair comparison, but this is the LeBron James of Appellate Law in the state of Texas. This is Byron Henry, he's a Partner at the Appellate Law Section of Scheef & Stone.

Bullying has always been around, but I think it gets worse by the year, especially with cyberbullying, where kids are hiding behind fake names and just punishing each other online. Bullying is not going to go away, but you can make a difference. Therese Moncrief is the Producer of Bully High and a number of other award winning films, but today we're talking about bullying.

If you look at the highest ranking athletes on the planet, they all have something in common, a winning mindset. If you're Tom Brady in the fourth quarter and you're down by seven points, you have to go into that huddle with that that mindset that we're going to get this thing done. Somebody who knows a lot about mental mindset is Lanny Bassham. He is the Founder of Mental Management Systems and an Olympic gold medalist.

It's a classic story that we've been hearing for a generations. You have a hotshot sales man or sales woman, and then you promote them. They become the leader of the whole sales team. Problem is, they haven't even read a leadership book. How do you lead a team, especially these days when sometimes you have a Gen Z leading a Boomer. How do you get the older person to listen to the younger person? To talk about that today, Rebecca Wolf, she is a Learning and Development Consultant.

On this show, I love to do spotlights on disruptors. My next guest is absolutely disrupting the dental industry. Dr. Gary Solomon, he's the Dental Director and Co-Founder of Texas Mobile Dentists.

When you talk to most Americans about retirement, that's the furthest thing from their mind. Most of us think, I'm just going to live forever or I don't need to worry about my retirement or why would I talk about something that boring? In reality it is critical to start thinking about a retirement plan. To talk about that today, Roy Snarr with Roy Snarr Retirement Solutions.

Talk about living life in the fast lane. My next guest, in the 90s, was hanging out with big stars like Destiny's Child. Then in the 2000, he started hanging out with porn stars until God had a different plan and called an audible. Jerry Dale from Gospel First Ministries is in studio.

Anytime you go into an office building, a restaurant, a store, you get a vibe. And that vibe is created by the architect. To talk a little bit about that Margine Biswas, she is the Founder of Archiphy Architects and Interiors.

We hear on the news about the troubles that veterans have readjusting to civilian life. They go to boot camp and spend weeks and weeks being steeled for war. Upon returning home, it's a half day workshop and then they're sent back into society. To talk about that today, Major General Bob Dees, he's retired, but also the President of the National Center for Healthy Veterans.

If you watch the show for any length of time, you know, I'm always interested in telling people's stories. So when I heard about this Sell Like A Spy program, I knew I had to have Jeremy Hurewitz on the show.

When my daughter Sarah came to me 4 years ago and suggested a podcast division, I laughed at her. I said, "Who listens to podcasts?" She says, "My generation does." And thank God I listened to her because now we've expanded into some ten different studios across Dallas-Fort Worth and now into Austin. Podcasting is absolutely going crazy. Someone who knows that in great detail is Kenney "BigSkinny" Pope.

I remember when I got into TV news in the early 80s. Dan Rather was the head anchor for CBS Evening News. I was a young reporter/anchor, studying him, wanting to be like him. And I faked his voice and I tried to sound older and more authoritative. I remember the news director saying, "Crilley, you're 20 years old, you're young, you're going to get over it. You're going to learn how to talk to the camera like a regular person and speaking to a camera is not something that you're born doing. You have to learn it." And as we all learned during COVID, we all had to become good at Zoom. Jules Altemus knows all about that. She is a Speaker Trainer, Confidence Coach.

These days, firms of all sizes are really dedicating themselves to giving back to their community. Why? Because it's important not just for the community, but for the employees. People want to work for a company that stands for something and someone who knows something about that, Sheila Williamson. She's with Haiman Hogue.

Have you noticed that over the years, the supplement aisle in your grocery store has grown to three or four aisles? The choices are dizzying. The problem is some of those those products you're buying are a complete waste of money. To talk about that today, Barton Scott. He is a Chemical Engineer, Nutritionist, and Founder of Upgraded Formulas.

I have always been a fan of marketing and innovation. My next guest is absolutely brilliant in both. She has an incredible journey. Ivonne Kinzer, she is an Author, Speaker, and Marketing Expert.

If you go back in history like the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, the country was pretty permissive when it came to drunk driving. It was only after Mothers Against Drunk Driving launched in 1980 that things began to change. To talk about that today, Emma Dugas, she is the MADD State Program Manager.

I'm a pretty busy guy, but I cannot hold a candle to my next guest, D'Andra Simmons. She is an entrepreneur, actress, celebrity, she does reality shows and she's a chef. She's running an empire, and now she's on my show.

My wife has finally gotten me to drink more water. My doctor would always scold me about being dehydrated, but now I'm discovering I might be drinking the wrong water. To talk about that today, Dr. Paul Barattiero, he is with Echo Technologies.

I'm going to begin this show with a shout out to my mother-in-law, Dorothy Snee. She is a proud Jersey girl who relocated to Texas some 30 years ago. But the other night, we're at home watching movies, and we put on Jersey Boys, the very famous movie about Frankie Valli. I completely forgot that my next guest was the star in that movie, the one and only Renée Marino.

I can't tell you how excited I am to talk about this next guest. Larry Lavine is an absolutely legendary restauranteur. He is the Founder of Chili's Restaurants.

For better or for worse, we judge people by how they enter a room. How do they show up? Do they show up with swagger or are they a wallflower? If they're being interviewed or giving a speech, do they look nervous? If you're watching CNBC, a CEO who's nervous can actually tank their stock price. So having a great presence has never been so important. To talk about that today, Elizabeth de Moraes. She is an image and visibility strategist.

I run a PR firm, so I like to think I'm informed and I watch the news all the time. But there's a story that's not getting national attention and it needs to have national attention. It's the flooding in Northern Italy. Somebody who knows a lot about that, Alberto Lombardi, Legendary Restaurateur.

Well, there are millions of homeless and neglected dogs and cats in this world and countless of them are being euthanized. That shouldn't be the case since they would be amazing pets. To talk about that today, a very special nonprofit, we're joined by Kevin Graham with Paws Need a Hand, Jennifer Troice, a very famous sculptor here in DFW, and Sheree J. Wilson, the legendary actress.

I know how you can be doing one thing and then life takes you in a different direction. I did TV news for 25 years, and now I'm running a very successful public relations firm and podcast studios. Vince Allen knows something about a career change. Vince is with Carstens, Allen and Gourley.

Well, when you watch the Academy Awards, it seems like most of the films that are winning all the major awards were not made in Hollywood. And there's a good reason for that. Joining me now to talk about that are three people who make films and they are not making films in California. They're making films in the heartland. Joe Goodman, he is with Good Country Pictures and the producer of Wildcat. Wojciech Frykowski, he's Wildcat's executive producer. And my good friend Amber McNutt, who's an actress, producer, and filmmaker. Thanks for coming on the show.

So I've had this public relations firm for about 14 years and people come in and out of your life. My next guest is a guy who really inspired me. He took a chance on an a Detroit guy who didn't know what he was doing. Michael McIntyre, thank you for coming on the show.

If you've ever seen arena league football, it is so entertaining because the scores almost read like basketball scores. Somebody who knows something about that, Jack Smith, he is the Co-Owner of the Fayetteville Mustangs.

When you think of oil and gas workers, you think of a lot of mud and dirt and grime and probably not the healthiest lifestyle when it comes to eating and exercise. Well, my next couple, Kelli and Nick Burns, are out to change that.

I think it is fascinating that we as a planet know more about how the human body works than ever before in history. And yet, we're getting sicker and sicker. We're sleep deprived. We're overcaffeinated. We're probably drinking too much. We're not exercising and we're eating horrible food. To talk about that today, Dr. Phyllis Gee, with Willowbend Health and Wellness.

A couple of years ago, everything changed when it came to student athletes making money off of their likeness. To talk about that today, Brent Chapman, the founder of a game changing company, myNILpay.com.

This show is really a chance to thank a mentor of mine, and I don't even know if he knows it. Rick Wells with the Wells Group McKinney is in the studio today.

Well, I was bullied in high school. I wasn't able to afford my own clothes. My father was a minister in downtown Detroit. And for the first maybe 15 years of my life, I was wearing hand-me-downs that would normally go to the homeless, but I didn't suffer the same kind of bullying that Madi Franquiz did.

You know how when you walk into a home, you get a vibe. It's a warm vibe. It's a home vibe and that's by design. Often they bring in a high end residential designer like Elle Cole to help them make that change to their property.

It seems like every day you're hearing about some kind of ransomware attack. In fact, the city of Dallas was attacked a couple of weeks ago. I was watching the local news and they're still having problems trying to unwind that. To talk about that today, Greg Zimmerle, he's the Founder and President of MYIT.com.

When I was first learning to speak some 20 years ago with the great Betty Garrett, she's got a fabulous reputation in the speaking world. She says, "I've got somebody I want you to meet." So I went to this networking event and I met Joel Zeff and I just became obsessed with him. I went to YouTube and I started looking at all his videos and he is one of the most entertaining speakers I have ever met.

We are all still mourning the loss of the victims in the Allen shooting. And before that, it Uvalde. Frankly, it's every single week that we're hearing about another national tragedy. The victims that are survivors sometimes have a lifetime of trauma unless they get help. To talk about alternative health care today is Monica Hamer, she is with CST Partners.

As many of you know, I gave 300 speeches a year for six straight years for a period there when I was at Fox for promoting my book. The toughest thing to do is be energetic at like 7 in the morning. I always dreaded those morning speeches because you really have to pump up the audience. My next guest, Greg Reid, is an Award Winning Keynote Speaker.

I'm a little bit of a fangirl right now because I'm in the studio with Jody Dean, a broadcast legend. He's been in TV, radio, and film now for 50 years. Can you believe that?

Well, if you've been paying attention to the news the last couple of months, the banking industry has been making a lot of headlines. Often the headlines are negative and causing uncertainty. But we all know that the media doesn't always get it right and sometimes they blow things out of proportion. To talk about that, Matt Scurlock, the CFO of Texas Capital Bank.

I remember when I was growing up, you watch TV, you saw The Waltons, you saw Sanford & Son. You saw old people on TV. I challenge you to name a hit TV show in prime time that even has an old person on TV. Nobody wants to grow old. To talk about that today, Dr. Jeff Gladden with Gladden Longevity.

What can we all learn from watching a pageant like Miss America? You learn poise and confidence and the ability to answer questions on the spot. Sometimes you need a coach, like my next guest, Heather Sumlin.

I don't think I know anyone who isn't suffering from some kind of stress. Let's face it, when you watch TV these days, everything that's on the news is stressful. We probably all have undiagnosed PTSD from the pandemic where we shut down the whole country and then expected everybody to just go along there their day like nothing ever happened. To talk about that today, Allen Miner, he's the CEO and Founder of Illumin8 Chiropractic.

I love doing shows about disruptors. I think about Airbnb or Uber that disrupted their industries. And I am in the presence of two brilliant young ladies who are absolutely shaking up the oil industry. Shar Woehl and Angela Murray with Atta Gurl Consulting.

Okay, folks, we are about four weeks away from swimsuit season. So I'm in diet mode right now. I want to show up at the pool looking fine. And to do that, you need good advice. You need diet, exercise, great mental health. And I can't think of a better person to talk about them than Clint Fuqua.

As many of you know, there was a time when I gave 300 speeches a year for 6 straight years in addition to my TV job. I wish I had known somebody like my next guest then, because I really didn't have a strategy. It was just kind of throwing against the wall to see what would stick. But Elizabeth Marshall would have coached me to do things differently. She's a strategist for thought leaders and a good friend.

If you tune into some cable networks, you see a lot of these real estate investing "get rich quick" shows and they make it look super simple. But real estate investing is not for everyone. You better do your due diligence before you make some kind of deal. To talk about that today, Zach Sams with Kensington Vanguard National Title and Rush Graves, the President and CEO of AMR Capital.

Well, I can't think of a more competitive space than the restaurant space. If you live in Dallas, there's restaurants you can't even get into for a full year, and then the next thing you know, they're closed. But then to create iconic brands that we all know and love, that takes a real genius. Speaking of geniuses, Mark H. Brezinski is in the studio. He is the Author of ForkFight!.

I remember a few years ago, 2017, to be exact, a friend of mine invited me to the Network Bar over in Trinity Groves. I walked in the door and the vibe was so cool that I may be the easiest sale they ever made because I said, "How do I join? Here's my credit card." The sale took less than 30 seconds. Miguel Rodriguez is one of the leaders there.

At the time of this broadcast, the whole nation is watching the folks in Allen, TX because unfortunately, over the weekend there was a mass tragedy where a gunman comes in and just starts shooting innocent people. We have a total of nine dead, including the gunman. Even Christians can feel like the world is getting out of control at this point. To talk about that and to give us a little bit of hope, Lindy-Ann Hopley, she's with Beautiful Witness Ministries.

So Eminem, the rap star, came out with the movie 8 Mile a few years ago. And I remember thinking to myself, man, that's not tough because I grew up at 7 Mile in Detroit and the only thing tougher than 7 mile is 6 mile. And that's where Khalilah Smith grew u. By the way, she's Miss Rodeo Michigan 2023.

As you hear in the news every day, we're having a mental health pandemic. It's affecting people from all walks of life. Our veterans, our nation's heroes are especially hard hit. To talk about that today, Andy Riise, he's one of the leaders with Team Red, White and Blue.

If you've ever watched a Cowboys game, before the game, they spend a lot of time stretching. I mean, it could be a good 15 minutes stretching. There's a good reason for that. Stretching is so good for the body. To talk about that today, Michelle Sepulveda, she's a Co-Owner of Stretch Zone.

You've heard the statistic that half of all marriages end in divorce. I am happily married to the love of my life, 22 years now, and I see her being my lifelong soulmate. But I know there are so many marriages that are in trouble right now. To talk about that, Eric Wooten with Altared Marriage.

So I try to eat kind of clean. And when I say kind of clean, yes, I have a cheat meal every now and again, but I know I'm not getting enough vegetables. There are more nutrients in this little pill than there is in a pound of vegetables. To talk about that today, Catharine Arnston, she's the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits.

There used to be a formula in politics, you went to law school, became a lawyer, you'd start on the city council, and then you would end up going to Washington eventually. But these days, they're electing people who have never held elected office before. It tells me that there is an undercurrent of what are we doing with these career politicians all the time? To talk about that, Robert West, he's the Author of The Five Star Plan.

I can speak for all reporters, they all need a go-to guy or gal when they have a story that they need to put on the 10PM news. My go-to guy on mental health is Dr. Ross Stewart.

I remember Eddie Murphy in a movie called Trading Places and he was put in the position of trading stock futures. I think he was doubling down on orange juice or something like that. At the time I watched it and I thought to myself, "what in the world is stock futures?" Even today, when I see CNBC and they start talking about stock futures, I don't really understand it. That's why I have Todd Heckman in studio. He's with Green Light Futures.

When I think about how much the world has had to change in the last few years, we had a pandemic which caused everybody have to go remote. And when you're going remote, you had to have new productivity skills and new ways to collaborate with your team. When I think about productivity and collaboration, I think of Infor and I think of Mimi Blankenship, she's one of the leaders.

So I am a proud member of EO Dallas, that's Entrepreneurs Organization, where I meet amazing people all the time. I met Omar Khan with Boardwalk Wealth a little while ago and invited him on my show. He is on a fascinating journey when it comes to commercial real estate.

As far back as I can remember, I've always been fascinated with magic. In fact, when I was a reporter at Fox four, I used to carry some magic tricks in my pocket just in case I went into a home and there was a small child that I needed to relax for their parents to do a good job on an interview. I never got good enough to become a pro, but I've always respected the people who do it at the height of their game. To talk about that today, Dal Sanders, he's hosting the North American Championship of Magic.

If you could pick one market in the in the country to work in, it would be Dallas-Fort Worth. And truly, even if there's a recession, it never really bothers North Texans because some 200,000 people move here every single year and they need a new home. To talk about that today. Jackie Converse, she is a Luxury Realtor.

I am a man of faith. I'm a believer. And when God talks to you, you have to listen. God spoke to Noah and he built an ark, didn't he? God also spoke to Christie Hutcherson, my next guest, and it completely changed her life.

I never served this country in the military, but the hard working men and women who have put their lives on the line for our freedom tell me that there's a big problem when it comes to transitioning out of the military. Often you're spending something like six months being steeled for war, but then when it's time to leave, you get a half day seminar and that just doesn't work. To talk about that today, Daniel Hance and Kevin Koharki, they're both with The Catalyst.

If you know anyone with epilepsy, you need to take this show and send it to them, because there is a game changing technology out there that really helps doctors when it comes to diagnosing epilepsy. Charlie Alvarez is the CEO of Stratus.

I love to watch all the awards shows like the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys, and not just for the fashion, but to see about the makeup. I mean, some of these stars just look glowing. A great makeup artist knows how to bring out that inner beauty. To talk about that today, Tina Adams-Mason, she is the CEO and Lead Makeup Artist of About Face Pros Luxury Mobile Beauty Services.

When I think about nonprofits that are making a big difference in DFW, I, think about EQuest. They've been around for now some 42 years, helping individuals with horse therapy. To talk about that today, Jenny Merkle and Lindsay Ballotta, they are Co-Chairs of the Blue Ribbon Ball.

During the pandemic, we were all forced to go on Zoom and many of us were noticing imperfections that we had never seen before. They, of course, have filters, but they don't have filters to make your teeth white and bright and straight. To talk about that today, Dave Swift, he's with Dallas Laser Dentistry.

When you're at DFW International or Love Field and the plane gets canceled, it's not often going to be the mechanical problems that we're used to. It's often a pilot shortage. To talk about that today, Patrick Arnzen, he's the CEO of Thrust Flight.

I have some special gifts in this this universe and one of them is storytelling. I also have some deficits and one of them is I.T.. I can't even spell I.T., that's why I bring very smart people on the show like Omer Muhammad who's with IT4U.

Relationships are critical to any business owner, for sure. And if you think about your life, there have been dozens and dozens of times in which a key relationship saved your bacon. To talk about that today, Tyler Pierson, a good friend and a relationship expert who's been putting this into practice his entire adult life.

I've got to admit, when it comes to horses, I really just don't know much. You know, I'll watch the Kentucky Derby, and that's about it. But there's a big riding community in DFW and it's getting more popular every single day. That's why I invited Lisa Blackmon on the show, she's the Founder of Black Star Sport Horses.

I've got to tell you, I don't think I've ever had a guest in the studio who is so wildly popular with my team. Linda Henderson came into the studio with some Henderson Chicken and I saw employees I haven't seen in months. They came in from all over the building to eat with us and laugh. And it's all seasoned with Mrs Linda Seasoning.

Taking care of your skin has never been so important. Why? Because of Instagram filters. I mean, we're all looking at ourselves on Zoom. Every young person has an Instagram filter on themselves, so it's perfect. Skin has never been more important. And to think about the self-esteem that's involved. To talk about that today, Matty Schirle, he is the Founder of SkinKick, which is known as "Self-Esteem in a Bottle."

When you think about human trafficking, most of us think about something happening in some faraway land, but it's happening right here in our backyard. To talk about that today, Bianca Davis with New Friends New Life, and Bob Beaudine, Bestselling Author of 2 Chairs.

You've heard so much in the news about how chat robots are going to take over the world, but there is one area that robots just can't do, they can't have intuition. They can't help you with your problems. Talking to a robot is not like talking to a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Dr. Shannon Crawford is here to talk about that.

As many of you know, I wrote a book some 20 years ago, and it was difficult to write a book. I couldn't imagine being a playwright. And and on top of that, writing a personal journey about a tragedy. To talk about that today, Meg Parker Wilson and Lisa Apple, they are both storytellers and artists. And they are my friends.

Dallas-Fort Worth is growing so fast that there are people living in Plano and Frisco right now who don't know the beauty of Turtle Creek. To talk about that today, J.D. Trueblood, he's the President and CEO of the Turtle Creek Association.

Well, I had the privilege of speaking at a conference today and I was seated in front waiting to go on, and I met my next guest. Katherine Dawn Funk has so much light and faith and charisma that I had to have her on my show.

There used to be a rule book for running for Congress. You remember the familiar playbook. You became an attorney and then maybe you ran for city council, you became a mayor, and then eventually you would run for Congress. Well, all of that went out the window. We've seen a lot of people who have never held elected office before, running for Congress. And and that is, in a way very refreshing. John O'Shea joins me, he's a Candidate for the 12th Congressional District and he's running against Kay Granger.

When I got to Dallas in 1992, I was told there are several events that are must-see events. Cattle Baron's, Crystal Charities and of course, Mad Hatter's. And they've been doing that now since 1988. I cannot believe that. Joining us to talk about that today Anne Stodghill, she's the Majestic Mad Hatter's Co-Chair this year and Sarah Jo Harden, she's the President of the Arboretum.

So I believe in God things and a God thing happened the other day. I was at the Stars game and I was looking up at the screen and I saw Celena Rae singing the National Anthem. And I turned to my wife and I said, "I know her. I used to interview her years ago."

How old do you feel in your mind? I think most days when I wake up, I feel like I'm in my twenties and I'm about to be 60. Another person who feels the same way is my next guest, Sharon Simmons.

Well, I love how God works. Yesterday, I'm sitting at my desk, phone rings, and it's an old friend, Janeé Hill. Somebody that I've known now for possibly two decades. We've both kind of watched each other grow from afar. She's in my studio today, and I couldn't be more happy.

Well, as many of you know, I'm a member of EO Dallas, that's Entrepreneur's Organization. It's just filled with very successful business owners, including my next guest, Alex Vantarakis with Equipped for Life.

I have always been fascinated with branding. And if you think about it, every company in America, their brand is going up, their brands going down or or worse, they don't have a brand to talk about. To talk about that today, Candi Luciano, she's the CEO of Intentionalyze.

Well, it's a very common story, I'm sure you've heard of it before...companies will buy these season tickets to the Rangers or the Stars and then half of those tickets go unused or worse. Changing the game is Morgan Katz, she's the Founder and CEO of Ticketnology.

When I was a television reporter of 25 years, I covered a lot of tragedies. Unfortunately, many of those tragedies involved a child drowning. I didn't know until I started to prepare for this show that drowning is the leading cause of death for children under five. To talk about that today, three good friends, Emmy Roberts, who is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award, Greg Laird, the CEO of the Emler Swim School, and Auberia Stephenson, a Child Safety Specialist.

I have always loved people with passion. I mean, if you're going to do it, do it right, do it with excellence. My next guest is Benson Varghese. He is a board certified criminal defense lawyer who is passionate about giving a voice to the underdog.

I got to Dallas in 1992, and as a reporter for Fox, I had the chance to visit cities all over North Texas. I remember one of those little teeny towns that I was visiting in the early nineties, Aledo has really gotten to be a fairly large size area. To talk about that today, Kit Marshall, she is an Advocate for the city of Aledo.

Well, a few Christmases ago, my son Dallas made me a vision board. I still have it in my man cave, upstairs in my home. It has a Rolls-Royce, that's my dream car. It has our name on the side of this building and has a private corporate jet. Haven't accomplished any of those things, but when I do, I'm coming to this man right here, David Henry. He is the President and CEO of Status Jet.

When we think about tough metals, we think about metals like steel and iron. And, you know, they had to go through a furnace first to toughen themselves. To talk about that today, Faith Teope, she's a Multimedia Journalist, Advocate, and a 401K Specialist.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I have a healthy habit and get in the zone and I'll be laser focused. And then sometimes I'll kind of fall off the wagon and I'll have an unhealthy lifestyle. Next thing you know, I wake up and I, I weigh 20lbs more. To talk about a healthy lifestyle, Christine Callander with Pure Health, Texas.

So I used to be into investing and I would look at small cap stocks, sometimes penny stocks or $5 stock. And it was critical for you to look at who was evaluating it. Of course, the company is going to come out with their own statements, but you know, an objective opinion. And when it comes to biotech, there's a lot of stuff out there. That's why you turn to a man like my next guest, John Vandermosten, he is a Biotech Analyst.

I think it's safe to say that pet ownership has never been so cool. Millennials, Gen Zs are actually kind of putting off marriage and just raising a pet. They're spending more money than ever before on their pets. To talk about that today, Mike Doan and Sherry Redwine with Odyssey Pets.

I am so blessed to call DFW my home. I will never live anyplace else. I can tell you that the secret is out because each year we're adding an extra 100 or 200, 300,000 people. Those in Florida are realizing that there's a great quality of life here. But when you add that many people, you also have to make sure they get plugged into local nonprofits in the community. To make a change on that front is Louis Darrouzet, He's with the Metroplex Civic & Business Association, also known as NCBA.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I have healthy habits and I get in the zone and I'll be laser focused, then sometimes, I'll kind of fall off the wagon and I'll have an unhealthy lifestyle. Next thing you know, I wake up and I weigh more. To talk about a healthy lifestyle, Christine Callender with Pure Health Texas.

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know, I'm a member of EO. I'm a big fan of entrepreneurs, and I like to interview fellow members when I get a chance, like my next guest Bo Rollins. He's with Kangaroo Cases.

Well, thanks to COVID, you've got tens of millions of Americans suffering from brain fog. You add in sleep deprivation and stress and you've got a real problem. I don't know about you, but sometimes it's late morning before I feel like my brain is finally in gear. There's a solution to that. Paul Magistri is in studio and he's is the Co-President of BrainTap.

I feel like I've had several lifetimes, the news lifetime, the speaking lifetime, and now podcasting and public relations lifetime. You meet these pivotal people in your life at each one of these crossroads and one of those people is Betty Garrett, she is with LST Speakers.

Domestic violence is much more common than any of us know. We see police reports and we hear stats, but I think that just speaks for a fraction of the domestic violence cases that are out there. Sometimes the victim or survivor never comes forward with their story. Somebody who knows something about that, Stephanie Bond of Transcending Tragedy.

I don't know about you, but I've heard of the supply chain my entire life. But it didn't really mean anything to me until COVID. It reminded all of us how interconnected we are. Sometimes cars were not being produced in Detroit because there was one little chip that they were lacking. To talk about that today, David Griffith, he is with G4 Logistics International.

Well, I run into influencers all the time or wannabe influencers. They want to be the next Kim Kardashian. But it's not as easy as just throwing up a TikTok page and and producing videos. To talk about that today, Richard Harmer, he's the Founder of UN/COM Media.

I love stories about entrepreneurs and how they came up with their idea. Kameron Brooks, he's the founder of The Charlotte Letter and I'm going to call him an "accidental entrepreneur" because he didn't set out to be an entrepreneur.

I'm a member of EO. That's Entrepreneur's Organization, it's a global organization of entrepreneurs. And one of the things that they talk about in EO all the time is getting unstuck and working on your business instead of in your business. There are just countless entrepreneurs right now who are just running on that hamster wheel. They just can't find a groove. To talk about that today, David Chavez, he's with a Assured Strategy.

They say the number one fear in America is public speaking. And the number two fear is death. If you die on stage, which I have many, many times, you can accomplish both. But seriously, public speaking is such a rewarding use of your time. Not only can you build your business, but you're building your thought leadership, you're building your brand. There's there's a dozen different reasons why you might consider getting over your fear of public speaking and to talk about that today, Toni Caruso, she's a Speaker, she's a Trainer, she's a Producer and she's my friend.

I remember following the career of Jeff Bezos and famously, Amazon lost a lot of money for a lot of years. With a few strategic changes, now they're making money. To talk more about tax strategy and why that can make such a difference in your bottom line, Jason Mollner and Don Rasmussen. They're both with Quartermaster Tax Management.

I don't know about you, but I get nervous now when I fly and it has nothing to do with a fear of flying. It has everything to do with will my flight actually take off on time? There's a huge shortage of mechanics and pilots in the aviation industry and every time you turn on the news, you hear something about it. A man who is coming to the rescue, Mike Sykes, he's the CEO of US Aviation.

It's funny how you remember moments in your life. I was in high school. I was 17 years old. I'm sitting on the couch with my dad. I'm eating a big bowl of ice cream with a lot of chocolate syrup on top and he's eating a salad. My dad says to me, "you know, son, you're burning more calories right now, eating that big tub of ice cream than I am right now, eating this healthy salad. But one day that will change." And boy, was he right. I'm now 59, and I have to watch my weight. I'm the one eating the salads right now. To talk about a healthy lifestyle, Perla Eidson, she's a Clinical Dietitian.

As a TV reporter of 25 years, I like to think that I know a lot about a lot of things. And I've always heard about lupus, but as I was doing research for the show, I was like, do I really even know what lupus is? To talk about that today, Liz Roth, she's the CEO and President of the Lone Star Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America.

I meet a lot of people through this show, and I've met a lot of lawyers over the years who don't like the law, they hate their lives. They woke up and they're in their mid-forties and they say, "why did I ever get into this?" But Nikki Grote is my guest, she's with Grote Law and she loves her life.

Well, I'm going to admit it. I am watching my girlish figure and trying to stay lean. But the trouble is that there is hidden sugar in almost everything we eat. If you look at the back of your bottle of ketchup, you'd be alarmed at how many grams of sugar are hidden in that bottle of ketchup. To talk about that today, Dr. Gerald Edelman, he's the Author of Sugar Rehab.

Well, ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated with world records. I used to read the Guinness Book of World Records and see these fantastic feats and even try them. Even if you weren't successful, it's still amazing. What humans can can do when they put their minds to it! Joining me now, Kolton Krottinger, he's the man behind the World's Largest Super Soaker Battle.

As the owner of a podcast network and a public relations firm, I can tell you there are things I'm good at and things that I'm horrible at. Contracts make my head explode. All that language and the fine print. I just don't understand. And that's why I brought in my next guest, Lisa Scott, she's the founder of Intuitive Edge.

If you've ever been to a big arena where there's a big speaker, like a Grant Cardone or a Tony Robbins, look around, there is all this magic behind the scenes that creates the experience. Somebody who knows something about that, Chris Nowels, he's the CEO of IHN Productions.

When I think about special relationships, I think about your family doctor, your family lawyer, and, of course, your CPA. You've got to have the right CPA, somebody who understands your business, understands the tax law, and is able to allow you to keep the most money possible without giving way too much to Uncle Sam. To talk about that today, Poonam Sandhu, she is a CPA and Partner with Mees Sandhu CPAs.

I came up during a time when the boss said "it's my way or the highway" and as an employee, you just went with it. Well, these days, Gen Z's, Millennials, they want a seat at the table. To get there, they sometimes talk to a man like the man sitting next to me, Bill Tingle. He's the Founder and CEO of Tingle Leadership.

By now, most of you have heard about chat GPT. Many college students are using it to write essays for them. There's a lot of questions in the media about whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm joined by Dr. Harvey Castro, he is a Physician, International Healthcare Consultant, Thought Leader, and Author of so many books that we can't even put them on my desk.

Well, I am 59 years old, so I'm the tail end of the baby boomers. And I remember about 20 years ago, everybody was complaining about Gen X and then along came the millennials, and the focus shifted to millennials. And now it's the Gen Z's that are getting picked on by the older generation. To talk about Gen Z and why they're such a unique generation, Carlos Carpizo, he's the Author of At Risk of Greatness.

Do you have the mind of a champion? When I think about champions, I think about some of the greatest of all time, like Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky. They have a certain focus, a mental focus, and a routine that they do every single day. Well, that can also apply to the business world. To talk about that today, Dr. Julie Bell, she's with Chartwell Partners.

You see this all the time in America, you have a great car salesperson and that person gets promoted to manager. They've never read a management book. They have no idea what they're doing. They're very good at selling cars, but they can't lead a team. So what happens to a person like that? Sometimes they bring in the consultant, like my next guest, Courtney Ramsey. She is a Talent Development Consultant and Speaker.

So one of the knocks on the education system is that it seems so impersonal. Sometimes when you look at the teacher student ratios, they're way off balance. No wonder we're having such problems with test taking and students being engaged. Somebody who's helping change that is Alina Durham. She's the Director of Outreach at Fusion Academy Southlake.

Well, as you just saw, I was a TV reporter for 25 years, and I'm pretty proud of my television career. I did some cool things. I won some Emmy Awards. I helped free an innocent man from prison. But I don't even deserve to be sitting next to this next guest. Ayman Hatkwa, Owner of Yaba Java Cafe, has the claim to fame that he was on the team that helped capture Saddam Hussein.

Well, I can't think of a better gift that we can give those hard working men and women who served our country in our military than to give them a job opportunity and a career path. Somebody who knows something about that, Jack Smith, he's the CEO of Fortuna BMC.

When I was growing up in the 70s, I was a big Batman fan. I've got to confess, I think I might be becoming a Superman fan because of my next guest, Dr. Mike Thielen.

I'm a proud sponsor of Success North Dallas, a networking organization that's been around for decades here in Dallas. And I was absolutely blown away by this morning's speaker, Bill Walsh, he's America's Small Business Expert.

I don't know about you, but there are days I wake up and I'm feeling like I can just kill it. I'm on top of the world. And there are other days where self-doubt creeps in. As we speak right now, Zeke Elliott is being released from the Cowboys. Think about that. Even a guy who's been at the top of his game probably has self-doubt right now. He could use a dose of our next speaker and guest, Meshell Baker. She's the Chief Confidence Igniter.

I have to admit, I'm a dummy when it comes to wine. My wife Victoria gave me a trip to Napa for my 50th birthday and I sipped a lot of wine, enjoyed a lot of wine, can't remember anything from the experience. Maybe it's because I had too much to drink, but who knows? To talk about that today, Tony Pecoraro, he is a wine connoisseur and he is the Wine Director at Las Colinas and Gleneagles Country Clubs and a good friend.

Unfortunately, in many workplaces, the old boy's club still exists. And to shatter that and to break through that glass ceiling, many women need to lift as they climb. Somebody who knows something about that, Krista Medlock, she is a Brand Strategist, Speaker and Business Consultant and now my friend.

Well, I'm going to put a disclaimer up at the top of this show. If the fire alarms go off during this broadcast, it's because there's just too much charisma in the studio. Karen "KJ" Johnson, the Executive Director at Dress for Success Dallas is in the house.

Well, they don't teach doctors in medical school how to run a business. Therefore, many of their practices are inefficient. There's all kinds of redundancies and and sometimes it can impact patient health. To talk about that today, Tanya Stinson, she's with Leaning Towards Change, LLC.

Well, because of inflation, it's tough times for a lot of people in our community. It's wonderful when nonprofits can step up and fill a void that's out there. Somebody who knows something about that, Jennifer Leney, she's with 6 Stones.

Well, I have to tell you, my next guest has a very incredible journey. He is a very talented young man. Cory Fitz, if you know that name, you are listening to the Country Top 40 with Fitz.

So I'm the son of a minister, faith is a big part of my life. And I recognize that sometimes there's a set of rules that happen Monday through Friday and then on the weekend, whether you're going to Mass, Synagogue, Temple...there's another set of rules when you go into a place of worship. But they don't have to be different playbooks. In fact, a man who believes there is only one playbook is Kraig Bougher, he's with Ignite Christian Business.

We have a great economy as far as anybody who wants a job has a job. I think we have something like 10 million open positions and 6 million people out of work. But if you really want to look at an industry that is hurting as far as having the right people in the right seats, that's going to be the medical industry. To talk about that today, Kelli Christina, she is the CEO of KD-Staffing.

Well, following the pandemic, I think there's another pandemic. There's a pandemic of mental health and stress and overeating, drinking too much, trying to comfort ourselves and self-medicate, but what it's leading to is some some real issues with our mind, body and spirit. Somebody who knows something about that, Riva Johnson, she's with Blue Jay Fitness.

This is going to be one of the most powerful shows I've ever done just because of the weight and emotion behind the artist who is giving this amazing gift to the family of fallen soldiers. Phil Taylor is in studio, he is with the American Fallen Soldiers Project.

I think burnout is a national epidemic. I don't know that I've met too many people who are delightfully happy with their lives. Many people are just on the hamster wheel, running, running, and running. It feels like Groundhog Day for them. Somebody who knows a little something about that, Lisa Hammett, she is a success coach and my friend.

I have to be honest, when I retired from television news after 25 years, it was one of the most gut wrenching decisions I'd ever made. I'm so glad that I did it now. But my whole identity, ever since I was 20 years old, was television reporter. Kimberly Stratman can certainly identify with that. She was a law enforcement officer with DPD for 30 years before retiring to become a life coach and retirement life coach.

I know a little something about pivots. At the ripe old age of 45, I walked away from a very successful news career to start this public relations and podcasting company. And Adam Carriker, you are my new hero, because you walked away from a really creative and, I think glamorous job in client relations at a sports agency to now being very successful in real estate.

Have you ever had a brilliant idea and you say to yourself, "somebody ought to do something." Then you wake up and somebody did it and it wasn't you. Well, Amy Robbins is a CEO and co-founder of Alexo Athletica, and she's in the studio today.

Well, I don't know about you, but I never intend on getting old. If I need a little something, if I need to have a little hair color, I'm going to do it because I want to be forever young and beautiful. Somebody who knows something about that, another person who is young and beautiful, McKay Whiting. She is the owner and founder of vie d'élite salon & medspa in Plano, Frisco.

So we all have unique gifts. I think one of my gifts is storytelling and interviewing people. That's why I do this show. And I'm fascinated with other people who have also discovered their unique gift. Forrest Jackson, the CEO of Jackson Pottery, is one of those people.

The entire real estate industry has a staffing and recruiting problem. And it's largely because of television shows like Million Dollar Listing, where some wannabe agents watch and say, Oh, my goodness, in less than an hour, I can sell a home and get that kind of commission." Then, of course, we get to the real world and they find out that it's not that easy. To talk about the problem and the solution, Mark Johnson, he's the Co-Founder of recruitinginsight.net.

Well, there are some experts who say that the pandemic set the women's movement back by an entire generation. So many working moms were having to choose between taking care of their kids and going into the office. And now so many companies are demanding that their team come back to the office. It's really a difficult decision for many moms. To talk about that today, Anna Minto. She is the Founder and CEO of Transformational Change.

Not all recruiting firms are built equally. There are many out there that are just trying to get as many warm bodies as possible in the seats. And of course, the candidate flames out and pretty soon that recruiting firm gets fired. Somebody who believes in real results is Jolene Risch.

As many of you know, hemp became legal in 2018. Ever since then, the entire hemp industry has been growing like a weed, pun intended. I'm fascinated by all the entrepreneurs that it's brought out of the woodwork. One of them is in studio with me right now, Aaron Owens. He's the owner and founder of Tejas Tonic.

Well, towards the end of last year, when mortgage rates were ticking up, seemed like every single day there was a lot of fear and a lot of people just put off getting a home.

Well, let's face it, many of us are running on a hamster wheel. For 25 years, I was on a hamster wheel called Local TV News and it was fun for a while., but then it got pretty monotonous. It seemed like I was doing the same thing day after day. So many can relate to that. Eric Sardina is the Host of the Return to Authenticity Podcast is here to talk about that.

I have never been a good cook and I admire so much the people who have that gift. And I wonder often, where do they get it? Did they pick it up from mom or grandma or dad or grandpa or where did it come from? We're going to discover that today with Jamesse and Ja'Miya Haynes. They are the co-owners of J & J's Eatery.

I don't know about you, but I get stressed out when I go to the airport. It doesn't matter whether it's Love Field or DFW International.

To talk about that today, Dr. Mary Warren, she is a wellness expert, speaker and author and mostly she's my friend.

I can't think of a time in my lifetime when being a geek has been so cool. I mean, think about it, all of our heroes are Elon Musk, the Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and they're all into technology.

So every morning when I wake up, I tune into WBAP or KLIF and I keep hearing these ads for this crazy gun dealer in Alvarado, Texas. I just became obsessed with his ads and his personality. So I reached out to him on Facebook and he was kind enough to come into the studio. Kenny Frazier, the Crazy Gun Dealer.

Well, I have to admit, I have two left feet when it comes to dancing. I've always admired those people who can do it well. I remember growing up in the 70s and watching John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever wishing I could be that guy to just clear the dance floor and put on a show. But I never learned it, I never got good at it. That's why I'm envious of people who have mastered it. And speaking of people who have it mastered, John Elsbury with Dance Vision Studios Texas.

Well, as an entrepreneur myself, I'm fascinated by other entrepreneurs and their journey. We all see stuff and we say, somebody ought to do this one day and then you turn on TV and somebody has already done it. A couple of guys who know something about reinventing an industry, Ed Baronne and Patrick Lynn with Snaps Clothing.

Dallas is a very fickle town. You can open up a restaurant and it's hard to get in it for a year. Then the next year it's closed because Dallas has moved on to another concept. A man who knows a little something about that, Hugo Miranda, he's the owner and operator of Hospitality Inspirado.

Well, can you think of an industry that is not going through disruption right now? You think about Airbnb, you think about Uber, every industry that we've said "that's the way it's always been done" is being turned upside down. And one guy who's a part of that is Zach Zeller.

So what do you think about when you think about retirement living? Do you think about somebody in a rocking chair, knitting or playing shuffleboard or dominoes? Well, I'm sure that's out there too, but to look at a new way of retirement living, Aimee Barresi with Presbyterian Village North.

Well, you know, my journey. 25 years in TV news and and I reached the top of the little hill I was climbing called local TV news reporter. I wasn't going to be promoted to anchor and and to be honest with you, I wasn't fulfilled anymore. I had to redefine success for myself. So I quit. It was the scariest thing I've ever done, and I'm so glad that I did it. Somebody who knows a little something about that, Laura Gassner Otting. She is an author, speaker and coach, and now, my friend.

Well, at some point, Congress has to deal with the patchwork of laws that go across this country when it comes to hemp and CBD and cannabis. We'll see if Congress has the nerve to deal with these. But you can have something that's legal in one state, drive a mile over the state line and suddenly it's illegal. To talk about that today, Chelsea Spencer, she's with Ritter Spencer.

Well, I run into a lot of leadership experts, and then when I kind of lift the hood and look under the hood, I see that they never ran a company. They were never in the trenches. For the most part, many of them are just book-smart instead of people-smart. To talk about that today, a man who has been in the trenches, Al Comeaux, he's with Primed for Change.

Well, I don't think it's ever been so important for companies to have a good response when it comes to human resources.

To help untangle that mess is Dustin Jones, she's the owner of Encompass HR, LLC.

We have a great economy as far as employment is concerned, pretty much anybody who wants a job has a job.

To talk about that today, Michael Battaglia, he's the owner of InsureYouToo.

Well, obviously, COVID changed everybody's life. Many people were put on pause, but it gave rise to a lot of disrupters, especially those in the healthcare space. And telemedicine has been done the same way for a long time now. It just became wildly popular during the pandemic. To talk about that, Gina Fioretti, she's with Recuro Health.

Have you ever met somebody for the first time and you feel like you've known them forever? My next guest is Kathy Fielder, and I've heard her name forever and ever here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area because she's all over TV shows. She's a lifestyle expert. She's a designer. She's just a wonderful person. And now she's on my show.

Well, as you know, I'm an entrepreneur. I was a television reporter for 25 years, went into the great abyss of entrepreneurship. I meet a lot of entrepreneurs and and I know an entrepreneur who got burned a few years ago, lost a bunch of money, and it has forever made him timid when it comes to taking risks. Sometimes the entrepreneur's brain needs to be rewired. To talk about that, Dr. Alok Trivedi, he's known as Dr. Rewire.

I truly believe that being a parent these days, especially being a great parent, has never been more difficult, largely because of smartphones in our teenagers hand. They are being influenced by people on social media. They're being cyber bullied. They're comparing their life to others. It's been well documented that teenage depression is at an all time high. To talk about that today, Kim Muench, a Real Life Parent Guide.

Well, who hasn't heard of North Texas Giving Day? As Paul Harvey would say, we're going to tell you the rest of the story. Monica Christopher with Communities Foundation of Texas is in the studio.

I have to admit that I had a horrible smile in high school. I had braces, and there were teeth missing. I'm a natural smiler, but I found myself not smiling on purpose.

We're joined today by somebody who knows a little something about the importance of a beautiful smile, Dr. Jill Wade with Stonebriar Smile Design. She has a beautiful smile, and she's beautiful inside and out.

Well, these days, it's really hot to be a disruptor. And, you know, we think about Uber disrupting the taxicab industry and Airbnb disrupting the hotel industry. Well, this is one of the original disruptors, Bruce Schultz, he's the Co-Founder of the Boardroom Salon for Men.

When you think about hair loss, for some men, just aging gracefully is fine. But for many women out there, it can be traumatic to have hair loss and especially if you have a condition like alopecia or, God forbid, breast cancer. Having a full head of hair can make the difference between feeling good about yourself and not wanting to go out. To talk about that today, Carliz Moore, she is the CEO and Co-Founder of Wigs.com.

I love it that we live in a world of disruption. You think about Uber disrupting the taxicab industry. You think about Airbnb disrupting the lodging industry. Well, Herb House is disrupting Starbucks and the coffee industry. That's why today I have Robin Skinner on the show, she's the Director of Sales for Herb's House Coffee and Company.

Well, I'll be honest with you, I'm pretty good on my diet. I'm pretty strict. I've eliminated most of the sugars in my diet. And my doctor keeps saying, Jeff, when are you going to start doing cardio? I just hate cardio. I've never been a cardio guy. Jogging bores me. Being on the elliptical at the gym bores me. But there is another way to get that cardio in and talking about that today, Marshall Lehr, with RockBox Fitness in Keller.

In this episode, we're looking at health care heroes. And I think we can all agree that those hard working men and women who work in the health care system were putting behind husbands, wives, children working long hours during the pandemic to care for people who were sick. It's a journey that needs to be documented and in the way it's being documented at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in Irving is very unique. So in studio today, Nikoma Wolf and Sarah Beth Joyner.

Well, I don't know about you, but some people like to take a flight and sleep, not talk to anybody. And other people just love to talk and I love to talk , so I struck up a conversation with my next guest, Brian Blackshaw. And it turns out we were going to the same conference. Shout out to Dr. Fab in San Diego. We talked the whole plane ride and became fast friends. Let me tell you a little bit about Brian Blackshaw. He's the managing partner at Blackshaw Partners, LLC. It's one of the most successful executive search firms in North America.

Well, obviously, it takes a lot of courage to survive breast cancer and it takes another level of courage to share your journey with others. To talk about that, Dr. Robin Robin Hall, she's an entrepreneur, author and speaker.

Well, as you know, I spent 25 years in TV news and that sounds like a long time to me, but imagine being in TV news for 46 years. My next guest is a good friend, Richard Ray.

Well, I am always looking for interesting guests. And this man's life could be a movie. He's worked for the government for 20 years, 12 of those years as a special agent. Ron Holloway, he's leading a movement called the Anti-Fragility Movement.

Well, if I had to guess, I think I get about a couple dozen robocalls every single day. And every time I get one, I keep thinking to myself, if there was only a way to get back at these people. Well, my next guest has a way to do just that, Doc Compton, a Consumer Advocate.

Well, all you have to do is watch the news and you see some company or individual in trouble, some company or individual whose brand is suffering because of something that happened to them or their mishandling. To talk about crisis communications today, Connie Glover, she is the CEO and Founder of CMarie Marketing Studio.

Well, the pandemic has been brutal for professional women. Many were put in a position of having to choose between their work and their family because the boss would not allow them to work remote. In general, women are burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. To talk about that today, Diana Guintu, she is a Life Coach for professional women.

Well, we're in February now, which means a lot of people have already gotten through dry January or damp January, and they're back to their old habits again. Having a glass of wine every once in a while is not a bad thing, but if if you're having it every single day, multiple times a day, you might have a problem. To talk about that, Kimberly Schuehler with Sabino Recovery.

How many times have you gone to a website, a business, for instance, and after looking through the whole thing, you still have no idea what they do? It's because they're not telling their own story very well. To talk about that today, a genius when it comes to digital storytelling, Susie Burleson.

I can't think of a more resilient business and industry than the speaking industry. If you can imagine it, speakers had their calendar filled. Everything was rocking and rolling, and then all of a sudden came this little thing on COVID to disrupt everything. Somebody who knows a little something about that, Gail Davis, founder and president of GDA Speakers.

Well, unfortunately, it's the time of year when many couples finally call it quits and they go to divorce court. January, February, notoriously the busiest month for divorce attorneys. But if you're shopping for a divorce attorney, you want to make sure that you know somebody who has been in your shoes before to talk about that, Britney Harrison, she's an Attorney with Calabrese Budner, LLP.

I can't think of a more competitive space than the fitness industry. It seems like there is a gym on every street corner. So it really takes a special person to separate themselves from the competition. To talk about that today, Steve Diniaco with TruFit Athletic Clubs.

When we talk about the housing market, you can talk about the nation as a whole. And they have hot spots and cold spots. And then you can talk about Dallas/Fort Worth, which is just about always the hottest market in the country. I think I read where some 200,000 people moved here a year ago. So with those kind of people flowing in, is it a good time to buy a house? It's always a good time to buy a house. And two people who will back me up on that is Jorge and Jenny Aldrete. They are co-hosts of The Ultimate Agent Podcast and Luxe Mortgage Team.

So as you saw in the show open, I did TV news for 25 years. I got to a place where I was just languishing. I wasn't fulfilled. That's because I didn't fix my why and I had to quit. On set today, Billy Ryan, the Author of Fix Your Why.

I find sometimes when you watch the news, they can scare you. They can scare the whole country into a recession if they're talking about how bad things are. But you have to remember that when you're talking about a national story and a local story, there's a big difference, especially when you call Dallas, Texas, home. To talk about commercial real estate, Sarah Lamb with The Retail Connection.

Well, when you think about marketing companies, you might have an idea that comes to mind. Some of you might be thinking, madmen and people in suits. I'm here to tell you that I only wear a suit to impress people. Most of the time I am dressed down because I'm a creative and I love other creative companies and my new good friends, the folks from Valynt Digital are in the studio today. Makayla Mitchell, the Director of Marketing and Dan Spottsville, the CEO.

Well, there is a global crisis going on right now related to sex trade and human trafficking. Pornography, even these days, a teenager can get it on their cell phone. Today we talk to one of the leaders with Project Moses. She's Reverend Audrey Sutton from Saint Philip's Episcopal Church.

Well, my daughter Sarah came to me about four years ago, she's my Vice President, and says, "Daddy, we need to start a podcast division." I laughed at her, but now, four years later, it's taking up more than half of the company. More than half of the company's revenues comes from podcasting. To talk about that, a nationally known expert on podcasting, Erin Gregor.

You see the ads every time you turn on the TV set. You see the "have you been injured in an accident?" ad. That's not my style and that's certainly not the style of Lin McCraw.

So when it comes to senior care, there are just so many options. We all know about nursing homes, different treatment centers for people with Alzheimer's. But what if the person in your life who needs care does not need medical attention? They just need a little assistance. To talk about that today, a beautiful young couple, Brandon and Deanna Emerson.

I've always been impressed with how great architecture can separate one city from another. We all can think of cities that are very forgettable, they don't even leave a mark on your on your mind. And then you think about the city of Dallas, especially when we're watching a Cowboys game on national TV and we see these beautiful buildings and artwork and sculptures and beautiful bridges. Well, the people behind stuff like that are firms like BOKA Powell and Andrew Bennett.

When you see the word immigration in this country, it's become so political that it's often just polarizing. But I think everybody watching this would agree that legal immigration is the goal for this country. And at some point, Congress and the President will will pass something that makes it easy. Then we can put some of this in our rearview mirror. To talk about that today, Lucia Marquez, she is a very successful immigration attorney and she's an immigrant herself.

Well, on the show, I always like to feature entrepreneurs who are just blazing new trails. And when I heard about this next brand of vodka, I became obsessed. I said, "I have to have this person on my show." This is a bottle of vodka and the founder of Hall of Fame Spirits is here, Jerry "Bubba" Draper.

I have so much respect for artists. I look at what they do and I appreciate their genius. But the truth is, many of them are not great business people or they don't have the right representation. And so unfortunately, the expression starving artist is all too true. Two young ladies who are doing something about it are Courtney Miles and Kate Mefford with The Rollup.

A lot of people dream of going out to Hollywood and becoming famous, but they end up waiting tables out there. One of the things you want to do is get a good foundation. And these days, you don't even have to leave Texas to be a star of TV and film. To talk about that today, Reis McCormick from KD Conservatory College of Film and Dramatic Arts.

I have to confess, I'm a little bit of fanboy right now because Brad Leland is in studio. If you're not a Friday Night Lights fan, I urge you, just go and rent it. You will find yourself obsessed with it as I do.

Well, if you are a foodie, you're going to feel like you died and went to heaven. There is a barn raising dinner this Sunday, and we're going to tell you all about that in a second. But I want to introduce my guests, Jeff Bednar, the owner of Profound Foods and Profound Microfarms, and Chef Sharon Van Meter from Beckley 1115.

Well, one of the things we saw during the height of COVID is if you didn't have a strong web presence, you could be out of business. We all saw restaurants that didn't do much online and then suddenly overnight, they had to go digital. To talk about that, Jonathan Taylor with TaylorMade Consulting.

So I'm the tail end of the Baby Boomers. I'm 59 and my generation is just used to saying, well, that's because it's always been done that way. But the next generation, the Millennials, the Gen Zs, they're forward thinkers. They they look at the taxicab industry and say, why would you do it that way? There's got to be a better way. And there's Uber, Airbnb, and you're going to add another name to that list. ROGO! Vladlena DuFresne is here and she just launched this app.

My father was a minister in downtown Detroit and he fed the homeless. So I've always had a soft spot for the homeless issue in this country, and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Somebody who knows something about that, Stephanie Bowman. She is the Founder of One Heart for Women and Children.

I know there are stereotypes associated with feminism. When you say that word, it can be a word that is polarizing to some people. They already have their mind made up on what that stands for. But we're about to change some minds today with Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, she's with New Wave Feminists.

Well, sometimes I think I have pressure. I'm running a very successful PR firm and television network, but I can't hold a candle to this next guy, Peter Lebedevs. He is with GF Sports and Entertainment.

If you haven't rented the movie The Founder, you need to. It's a great lesson for anybody who's an entrepreneur about the beginnings of McDonald's and how one genius saw an opportunity and expanded it into one of the greatest franchises of all time. Somebody that knows a little something about that, Alex Oswiecinski. He is the CEO and Founder of Prospect Direct.

We have hired companies to come in and power wash the exterior of our home. But now I'm rethinking that decision and you'll rethink that decision as well when you meet Jim Steinmark from Patriot Softwash.

Well, every once in a while, I get graced with a guest that makes me nervous. And I'm a little nervous right now being next to bodie, Runner Up on The Voice.

I saw a Wall Street Journal article a few months ago that said podcasting is the new thing. Like companies all over the United States are being told where is your podcast? Well, two young ladies who are ahead of the game are Tova Sido and Janice Gaunt.

Well, I don't know about you, but I worry about this next generation. The young people who went through COVID, there's all kinds of mental health issues. And in our nation's junior highs and high schools, it's not being addressed. They're just not equipped. So often they bring in a young man like my next guest, Keith Davis, with Winners, Inc., to inspire the young people.

It always amazes me how some people will spend more time looking at fantasy football team than they do their nest egg and planning for retirement. And frankly, there are far too many seniors who are getting ready to retire. Then they're told by their financial advisor, I'm sorry, you can't afford to retire. To talk about that today, Christi Staib, she is the founder of Silver Sail Wealth Advisors.

I'm blessed to have a successful Marketing, PR, and podcast company, but I can't hold a candle to my next guest. Brad Parnell is with Genie Rocket and he is so bold that he wants his clients to fire him!

When we think about childcare, it's all over the map. Some are just teaching the ABCs and 123s. Some are just warehousing kids. And and then you meet somebody like Leah Stanley with NOAH childcare. She really takes the children on a journey.

Well, I'm very nervous because the gentleman who's sitting next to me is one of the most successful business people I've ever met. And he has written a bestselling book that will change so many lives. His whole life's journey has led up to this book. So Andres Ruzo, he is the author of The Human IOS.

It seems like for the last few years, all we've heard about is staffing shortages in the nation's health care system, from local doctors offices to large hospital systems. And a man who is at the forefront of solving that problem is Jody Talbert. He is the Co-Founder of Frontera Search Partners.

Well, I believe in God winks. And I got a mailer the other day and it was sent to the wrong address. And as I started to flip through it, I said, this is a really cool story. And this nonprofit happens to be based in Irving. So I reached out and Rachel Brown is here with Touch of Life.

I'm sure all of us have had this situation. You make a New Year's resolution to get in shape, you go to the gym for the first month, you cannot get on a treadmill because the place is too crowded. By February, everybody has broken that New Year's resolution and there's not a person there in sight. To talk about that today, Dr. Brandon Brock, he's a good friend and a former client of ours, and he's now with Carpathia Collaborative.

One of the top things that couples fight about is money. And obviously, people are racking up credit card debt. We're supposed to go into a recession next year. Unfortunately, next year promises to be a big year for divorce. And when you're considering a family law attorney, you want somebody who has a good reputation. I can't think of anybody with a better reputation than my next guest, Melinda Eitzen from Duffee + Eitzen.

Well, I would not say I'm an art connoisseur, but I appreciate it when I see it. In fact, one of the things that I love about AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where the Cowboys play, is all the art. If you really stop and walk the stadium, you are seeing some exquisite art pieces and it changes the look and feel of the space. To talk about that today, Sara Beth Joyner, she is with Quality Art House and Lyle Rountree, he is with U.S. Oral Surgery Management.

I'm old enough to remember the late, great Walter Cronkite. When you came home as a kid, you watched Uncle Walter, the most trusted man in America, and you never had to watch another network. You just knew it was the news. These days, it seems like the news has become so slanted in one direction or another. You have to watch several channels to find out what actually happened that day. To talk about that, Darrell Day, he is the Executive Producer of Truth Trial.

Well, there is an expression I love about networking, you got to circulate to percolate. There's a lot of people who start a business and they sit at home and they hope to grow that business. But they're not out shaking hands and kissing babies, so to speak,. To talk about that, Mark Washum, of The Professional Connectors.

So I remember about a decade ago, my wife came to me and said, I want to take up tennis. We're going to join Gleneagles Country Club as a as a tennis member. And that's when I first began to hear this guy's name, Henry Gonzalez. He is the Director of Racquet Sports at Gleneagles Country Club.

Well, the cannabis industry has matured quite a bit in the last decade. A big reason for that is it's starting to attract money and business savvy people like my next guest, Matt Hawkins. He's Founder and Managing Partner of Entourage Effect Capital, LLC.

Well, like you, you probably subscribe to a lot of newsletters. And as I was going through the newsletters, one caught my eye. Dallas Jewish Conservatives and I had to read it twice. I was like, wait a minute...a conservative Jewish organization? I have to have the founder and president on my show. So Benji Gershon joins us.

I remember coming to Dallas in 1992 and back then there just wasn't much going on in Oak Cliff. In fact, I think it was a fairly forgotten part of the city. Now it's really the trendy spot in the city. It's where all the cool restaurants and shops are opening up. To talk about that, Kiyundra Jones, she is the President and CEO of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce.

I remember when I started this company in my home back in 2008. I was wearing all the hats. I was the sales guy. I was the operations guy. I was the guy changing the ink cartridge in the printer. And thankfully now, 14 years later, I've got 20 full time employees. I've got processes that make my life blissfully wonderful. And to talk about processes, I've got George Mayfield in studio. He's with Frameworks Consulting.

Well, my kids are grown, but if I was the parent of a college age student, frankly, I would be concerned right now. Why? COVID. It messed everybody up. We shut down schools. We went into remote learning. I don't think the mental health issue across the country has been approached correctly for adults, so just imagine young people To talk about that today. Dr. Stacia Alexander, she is a Licensed Clinical Therapist.

Well, I am so blessed. My wife will sometimes get Cowboys tickets from her boss and often we'll get a seat right down front and we'll get a parking pass that brings us right up to the stadium. And sometimes you're getting bomb sniffing dogs working over your car before you park. And it just reminds all of us that, a target like that, a big famous team like the Dallas Cowboys, could be a place where somebody could make a statement. To protect all of us, two guys from the International Association of Venue Managers, Mark Herrera, a good friend of mine and and Alex Keen, who I'm just meeting for the first time. Thank you both for coming on the show.

I'm a proud member of the Gleneagles Golf Course and I'm intimately familiar with Club Corp, which is now called Invited. I was interested to learn that they have just bought a concept, and it's one of the fastest growing companies in the world of golf entertainment. TJ Schier is here. He's the Chief Operating Officer at BigShots Golf.

Well, I have so much respect for teachers, especially going through COVID. And I think all of them are dealing with some challenges as we emerge from the pandemic, engaging young hearts and minds. A guy who has literally cracked the code on that is Freddie Halstead with the Techie Factory.

Well, I can't think of a hotter industry than an IT Services companies. Large and small, really aren't equipped to handle all the ransomware and hack attacks. They just don't have the in-house talent and often they turn to companies like my next guest, Marko Knezovic, with Kibernum USA and Bill Wallace from Success North Dallas.

Boy, if I was a realtor, I wouldn't dream of leaving North Texas. I mean, this is the best real estate market in the country. Imagine being a realtor in, say, Detroit. So to talk about the housing market today, Johnie Palmer, he's with Palmer Premier Group and Halo Group Realty.

Well, I'm a big workplace culture guy. I like to refer to my company as a "thank God it's Monday company" because employees just love each other and they love to come to work here and laugh over lunch. But I cannot hold a candle to my next guest, Mike Rose. He's the author of ROE Powers ROI.

Well I love entrepreneurs. I love David who fights Goliath. That's why I have my next guest on, Trea Feist, he is the CEO and Founder of Dank Spirits.

When most people think about investing, they think about Wall Street, they think about the stock market, they think about traditional stocks like AT&T and Apple. But with the stock market being so flaky, a lot of money is now moving into investing in real estate. To talk about that today, Stephen Patterson, he is the director of investor relations at KeyCity Capital.

We've all heard of medical recruiting firms. We've heard of technology recruiting firms. I had not heard of legal recruiting firms, but it makes a lot of sense. Lawyers seem to be jumping ship from one firm to the other all the time. And sometimes it's a guy like the guy sitting next to me who helps that happen. Stewart Wessel with The Wessel Group.

Well, on this show, if you've been watching for any length of time, you know, I love to interview business coaches, business strategists. I've never interviewed a business therapist before. But my new best friend here, Brandon Powell, is a Business Therapist with the Business Therapy Firm.

So we live in a world in which integrity, honor, ethics is held in high esteem. But it seems to be in short supply these days. Somebody who knows something about that, Pallavi Ahluwalia of The Ahluwalia Law Offices.

Well, unfortunately, one of the most common things that couples fight about is money. And we are heading into what is likely to be a difficult year next year. What that means is family law attorneys will probably, unfortunately, be doing a great business because so many couples are going to be headed for divorce court. To talk about that today, Holly Draper, she is with The Draper Law Firm.

My father gave me some great wisdom one time. He said, "Son, inside your brain is a little screw and if you turn it a half a revolution, everything changes." What he meant by that was half a revolution from fear is determination. Think about all the great athletes that go into the fourth quarter, like Tom Brady. They're down by 20 points and they have fear, certainly, but they also have determination. Somebody who knows something about that is Darin Kidd. He's an author, a speaker, coach, but mostly he's my friend.

When I think about the guy selling picks and shovels during the gold rush, he had a heyday. He wanted people to strike gold. So imagine launching a technology consulting firm in 2016, what happens? To talk about that, Matt Rosen, the CEO & Founder of Allata.

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm an excellence freak. It just has to be right. Everything we do here at Real News PR and Real News Communications Studios has to be right. I'm fascinated by other people who have that same excellence gene. I can't think of a better person to have on the show to talk about excellence than Lance Shapiro of Shapiro Diamonds.

So I started my PR firm from home 14 years ago. I've been growing at a steady pace each year, adding an employee or two each year. I'm very envious of people who are in hyper-growth. Mike Kinder, the CEO and Co-Founder of Veryable, is doing just that.

Dallas is a tough town. It's a very fickle town when it comes to restaurants. We've all had this experience where you wait for a year trying to get in to a restaurant because it's so popular, but then a few months later, it's closed. To have concepts that last over time is really a feat. To talk about that today, Jack Gibbons, he is the CEO of FB Society.

So I started my entrepreneurial journey 14 years ago. Now I wish I had started it much earlier. I've been very proud of our success, but I;m always envious when I run into somebody half my age, whose company is much larger than mine. And he's only been doing it for 3 years. Nehal Kaiser, Owner of Blue Hammer Roofing.

I've always said, they don't make Hollywood movies about people who were born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would go see that movie. They go to movies called Rocky or Pursuit of Happyness and Million Dollar Baby. Life is about getting knocked down and getting back up again. I can't think if a better person to talk about that than Ramona Tuma, she's the Author of the soon-to-be released new book, Prisoner of Hope: Captured by Grace.

When we all go to our family doctor, they all tell us the same thing, eat right, exercise, take good care of yourself, but they're not going the extra mile, they're not doing any kind of artery scan so many people are walking out there and they're a ticking time bomb. To talk about that today, Jay Singh, he is the owner of Advanced Arterial Imaging.

I love rags to riches stories. I think about Mark Cuban coming to Dallas broke, sleeping on couches, and I think about Mark Zuckerberg and he didn't really have any money, started a company in his dorm room. I want to add a name to that, Sanjay Chandra, he's with Trinity Investors.

Performance coaches are common in sports. Most athletes have one. If you're a performing artist, having a performance coach is just natural. If you're a business owner, how do you know when you need a performance coach to take you to the next level? To talk about that today, a performance coach, Dr. Jayne Gardner, and one of her clients, Joel Patterson, the CEO and Founder of The Vested Group.

If you watch the media a lot, they scare you! They scare you into a recession, they scare you into not spending any money, and they don't pay attention to the fact that Dallas-Forth Worth is a very different market than any other market, especially when it comes to housing. To talk about that today, Dawn Owens with Monument Realty.

I remember when I launched Real News PR in my home in 2008. I was wearing so many hats. The CEO, the head sales person, I also changed the ink in the printer. As you start to grow, you start to build a team around you and I'm so blessed to have an amazing team of just hard working people. But there are many businesses out there struggling, they're preparing for what could be a recession next year and to talk about that today, Sheryl Hardin, she is with Capacity Squared.

I am so blessed. I've had two great careers in my life. I was a television reporter for 25 years...won some emmys, helped free a man prison, and then I made a pivot, started a public relations firm and now we've grown into a large digital broadcast company. But I cannot hold a candle to my next guest, Ola Hawatemeh, she's with Mom Me Makeover.

Well we just got finished with the Thanksgiving weekend and if you were preparing that feast and went to the grocery store, you got a little sticker shock cause just about everything has gone up. To talk about inflation today, Ram Charan, he is a Global Business Advisor, Author, and Speaker.

When it comes to Senior care, there are a dizzying array of options. Most people don't even start thinking about where mom or dad might live if they fell and had an accident until the last minute. And that's not a good time to start shopping. To talk about that today, Loe Hornbuckle and Christina Hartt with The Sage Oak.

Sometimes it takes a first person or company to invest in an area for money to follow money. To talk about that today, Michael Yorba, he is the CEO and Chairman of the Advance Community Fund.

I'll be the first to admit, when I hear about healthcare plans, my eyes glaze over because it just seems like all the plans look alike...how do you compare apples to oranges? To talk about that today is Leslie Shields, she's the owner of The Shields Agency.

I love the journey of entrepreneurs because entrepreneurs think outside the box. They do things differently and I can't think of a better person to talk about that than Rocky Dhir, he's the CEO and President of Atlas Legal Research.

I don't anyone who doesn't want to keep in shape and lose a couple of pounds, but we're coming into this season where you're going to grandma's house and she's pushing pecan pie on you.
