Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Jim Huddleston:Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Jim Huddleston grew up in a small mobile home park and was exposed to a wide variety of music through his father’s involvement in local country music bands. It was his love for music that led him to pursue a career in the industry, and after school, he could often be found jamming with musicians in his father’s barbershop.In 1985, Jim met his future wife, Alicia, and soon after enlisted in the military. After being reunited with Alicia in 2018 and with her unwavering support, Jim returned to his passion for music in 2020. Now, he is ready to share his unique sound and powerful message with the world.Inspired by his faith and experiences as a disabled veteran, who suffers from PTSD, Jim’s music is a reminder of the enduring power of the American spirit. He says, “America needs a voice now more than ever. Why shouldn’t that voice be ours?”

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Gest Daisy Paige
Daisy Paige is the author of Unexpected Moments with a foreword by Kirk Cameron. I share my life’s story of sexual, physical and emotional abuse from a young child until my adult years. I'm hoping to inspire others to know that they are not alone in their struggles or life’s circumstances and that God doesn't put you through more than you can handle. There were times I didn't want to or almost didn’t make it through but by the Grace of God I made it. Being the mother of three adult children that I couldn't be more proud of after all the things they've been through and witnessed. I believe I went through the things in my life to make me strong enough to face what is ahead of me. Recently diagnosed with a rare terminal neurological condition known as MSA or multiple system atrophy and only 4 out of every 100,000 people in the USA are diagnosed with it. 10% of all proceeds from the book go to charity researching a cure for it. My other goal is to create awareness of MSA.

House Talk Radio with Host Tony & Wendy Gambone with Special Guest Bobby Bryant:
The conception of a BIG idea.This idea, that we could improve the real estate industry began during the dawn of the 2008 recession. We believed that something different than what has happened in this industry for the last 100 years, that we could build something special to radically evolve the way people search and transact property, and that we could successfully lower transactional cost for buyers and sellers without sacrificing the quality of service. These collective ideas and with a team that’s obsessed about solving these problems, DOSS was created.
At DOSS, we believe that we can create a Digital Brokerage that leverages the best technology to make homeownership in America more affordable.
The real estate industry is the most antiquated, expensive, and fragmented industry in the world. With all of the technological advancements that have benefited the real estate industry, most of its practitioners collectively refuse to reduce the high cost that comes with buying and selling real estate. Although the Supreme Court has ruled against price-fixing and standard fees, the real estate industry continues to support this behavior. Routinely labeled a Discount Brokerage, as if commissions are non-negotiable, DOSS considers itself a Fair-Priced Digital Brokerage that opposes price-fixing(6%).
With an In-house Media Company, DOSS is able to market and service a property better than any Traditional Brokerage for a 1% listing fee. For buyers, DOSS is able to help find the best property, negotiate a favorable deal, protect their best interest, and give a BUYER REBATE up to $5,000* to help lower their closing cost. Our techAGENTS are experienced, full-time, and trained Experts that proficiently use technology to provide the best service, at a fair price. www.AskDoss.com

Tough Talk Chirstian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Traci Neal:
I was born on March 8,1989 and I grew up in Hopkins, SC. I began writing poetry at 14 because a teacher from Hopkins Middle School told the class we had to write a poetry book. I fell in love with poetry and saw it as my outlet from bullying and low-self esteem. My passion for public speaking came later on in life. Ten years later, actually! As I kept trying to become an elementary teacher and failing the Praxis Exam, I felt like a total failure. God had a different plan though. Through spiritual guidance of character development at my church, Word of God Church and Ministries International with Bishop Eric W. Davis, I became a better woman of God. Now, I want to share my life experiences with children, adolescents, and young adults that Jesus is the better option! Like I love to tell people, "The world does not impress me!" www.tracinealspeakerpoet.com

Being with her mother during times of devastation and struggle and then losing her mother when she was only thirty-three-years-old and Ceola, just sixteen-years-old was difficult for the teen.

Having lived in the dark shadows of guilt, shame, and embarrassment that birthed feelings of inadequacy, Ceola is passionate about eradicating low self-esteem and self-worth among women and helping them build healthy self-images. "I believe we can have healthier self-images, living our life's purpose, and encouraging one another. As I continue sharing my past fears, failures, guilt, shame, and embarrassing experiences, and my VICTORY, I will encourage a multitude of other women that all things ARE possible through Christ Jesus and that He does make all things NEW."

Dawn Apuan is a mindset & business coach who gives women the tools and support needed to find faith in themselves and live a life of purpose. Dawn inspires women to live abundant lives filled with peace and happiness, and spreads her message that stress & busyness is a choice – and so is joy. Dawn, a former pastor and Non-profit Executive Director, uses her compassion and expertise to guide women through her signature FAITH framework 1:1 business and mindset coaching program. Dawn is available to speak on topics related to personal development and entrepreneurship.
Dawn hit rock bottom after pouring my heart and soul into pastoral ministry, only to be told I was a failure based on stats that didn’t measure up.Crushed, I did what seemed logical at the time: learn new skills that could provide an income for my family so I could resign. An ordained pastor by day, I spent my evenings studying websites, copy, marketing, social media strategies, funnels…everything I could get my hands on to learn how to work from home. What surprised me most about becoming an entrepreneur was the personal development. This “secular” teaching (that’s all Biblically-based) Changed. My. Life. I experienced more peace, joy, and hope than I’d EVER felt in nearly thirty years of being a Christian and seven years as a pastor. Building a business I loved was just a bonus. Besides getting to support other entrepreneurs by building their funnels and writing the copy, I also get to help other Christian women build businesses that impact the world. http://www.dawnapuan.com

Gary Pratt is a singer, a songwriter, but most of all, an energetic country entertainer who
connects with his audience. He grew up in the small, old coal mining town of Slickville,
Pennsylvania. In addition to being the front man for several local bands in the Pittsburgh
area, he has had the experience of hitting the Nashville club and showcase scene. He has
had the pleasure of singing at the Tennesee State Fair, Rocky Gap Music Festival and CMA
Fest. Gary has been the opening act for such greats as Dwight Yoakum, Pam Tillis, Lorrie
Morgan, Ronnie Milsap and Crystal Gayle to name a few. His current recording project,
"Something Worth Remembering", is dedicated to his brother who recently passed. The album is a combination of Gary's originals and songs written by credited Nashville writers. The title track was written by Grammy Award Nominee Tony Arata, who wrote Garth Brooks' "The Dance". This project has been in the making for over a year. It was recorded at Tonic Studios with Engineer Doug Kasper, Producer Bryan Cole and Musician/Artist Adam Ernst. Excited about this new album, Gary invited MTS Male Vocalist Matt Westin and Female Vocalist Savannah Nider to help out on a few songs. Savannah and Gary recorded the duet he wrote, "To Find Us", at Omni Studios in Nashville. It was the first time Gary and Savannah actually met and they are now making plans to write together in the future. Gary is forever thankful to God for walking with him through life, paving this music journey and for putting the gift of music in his heart. Not only has music been an outlet emotionally and has helped Gary through some rough times, it has brought family together and has introduced him to some of the most amazing people he is proud to call friends.
Gary's music albums can be purchased at Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer Itunes, Cd Baby,

Steve worked for many years in corporate America and felt he would never be able to retire and live the lifestyle he had dreamed of. While he had a few rental properties, he knew this was not enough to ever retire on and be free from his J-O-B.
In 2012 Steve knew it was time to get the education and coaching necessary to become a full-time real estate investor and change his lifestyle. Steve has become a very seasoned and well-established real estate investor in the Greater Houston area. Steve and his partner Suzan are the owners and founders of SVSM Enterprises, LLC, owners of The Wealth Club, SVSM Capital LLC, and a number of other SVSM companies. In addition to being a full-time real estate investor Steve takes great pride in teaching and educating others about the world of real estate investing. https://thewealthclub.org/ https://www.facebook.com/wealthclubhouston https://twitter.com/TheWealthClub1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/the-wealth-club/

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Ceola J.
Ceola knows what it is to be victorious and to overcome! She has overcome rape, domestic violence, barrenness, divorce, infidelity, material loss, and more herself. Being with her mother during times of devastation and struggle and then losing her mother when she was only thirty-three-years-old and Ceola, just sixteen-years-old was difficult for the teen. Ceola knew from a child what she wanted to do. She found her purpose in encouraging, educating, and empowering women, utilizing the victory in overcoming her own painful life experiences.
Having lived in the dark shadows of guilt, shame, and embarrassment that birthed feelings of inadequacy, Ceola is passionate about eradicating low self-esteem and self-worth among women and helping them build healthy self-images. "I believe we can have healthier self-images, living our life's purpose, and encouraging one another. As I continue sharing my past fears, failures, guilt, shame, and embarrassing experiences, and my VICTORY, I will encourage a multitude of other women that all things ARE possible through Christ Jesus and that He does make all things NEW."

House Talk Radio with Host Tony & Wendy Gambone with Special Guest Bobby Bryant:
The conception of a BIG idea.This idea, that we could improve the real estate industry began during the dawn of the 2008 recession. We believed that something different than what has happened in this industry for the last 100 years, that we could build something special to radically evolve the way people search and transact property, and that we could successfully lower transactional cost for buyers and sellers without sacrificing the quality of service. These collective ideas and with a team that’s obsessed about solving these problems, DOSS was created.
At DOSS, we believe that we can create a Digital Brokerage that leverages the best technology to make homeownership in America more affordable.
The real estate industry is the most antiquated, expensive, and fragmented industry in the world. With all of the technological advancements that have benefited the real estate industry, most of its practitioners collectively refuse to reduce the high cost that comes with buying and selling real estate. Although the Supreme Court has ruled against price-fixing and standard fees, the real estate industry continues to support this behavior. Routinely labeled a Discount Brokerage, as if commissions are non-negotiable, DOSS considers itself a Fair-Priced Digital Brokerage that opposes price-fixing(6%).
With an In-house Media Company, DOSS is able to market and service a property better than any Traditional Brokerage for a 1% listing fee. For buyers, DOSS is able to help find the best property, negotiate a favorable deal, protect their best interest, and give a BUYER REBATE up to $5,000* to help lower their closing cost. Our techAGENTS are experienced, full-time, and trained Experts that proficiently use technology to provide the best service, at a fair price. www.AskDoss.com

Being with her mother during times of devastation and struggle and then losing her mother when she was only thirty-three-years-old and Ceola, just sixteen-years-old was difficult for the teen. Ceola knew from a child what she wanted to do. She found her purpose in encouraging, educating, and empowering women, utilizing the victory in overcoming her own painful life experiences.
Having lived in the dark shadows of guilt, shame, and embarrassment that birthed feelings of inadequacy, Ceola is passionate about eradicating low self-esteem and self-worth among women and helping them build healthy self-images. "I believe we can have healthier self-images, living our life's purpose, and encouraging one another. As I continue sharing my past fears, failures, guilt, shame, and embarrassing experiences, and my VICTORY, I will encourage a multitude of other women that all things ARE possible through Christ Jesus and that He does make all things NEW."

House Talk Radio with Host Wendy and Tony Gambone and Special Guest Steve Vigil:
Steve Vigil started his real estate education in 2002 when he bought his first rental property. Over the next 10 years he picked up an additional 5 single family homes along with 8-unit and 10-unit apartment complexes. Steve worked for many years in corporate America and felt he would never be able to retire and live the lifestyle he had dreamed of. While he had a few rental properties, he knew this was not enough to ever retire on and be free from his J-O-B.
In 2012 Steve knew it was time to get the education and coaching necessary to become a full-time real estate investor and change his lifestyle. Steve has become a very seasoned and well-established real estate investor in the Greater Houston area. Steve and his partner Suzan are the owners and founders of SVSM Enterprises, LLC, owners of The Wealth Club, SVSM Capital LLC, and a number of other SVSM companies. In addition to being a full-time real estate investor Steve takes great pride in teaching and educating others about the world of real estate investing. https://thewealthclub.org/ https://www.facebook.com/wealthclubhouston https://twitter.com/TheWealthClub1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/the-wealth-club/

engage people with the thought, “If money were not an issue, what would be your life’s purpose?” She doesn't simply provoke thought, she has embodied the question through her own life experience. Like most individuals, she has suffered unexpected, significant personal tragedy that affected her entire family emotionally and financially. What is critical,but often avoided,is the experience and willingness to share strategies that instruct others how to overcome unexpected disasters that can stagnate one’s personal life because of a crisis.

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Chante Dent
Chanté Dent is the Founder and Director of Earnest Love, Inc. She is a former Rape Crisis Counselor who received her Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from California State University, East Bay. She currently volunteers as a member of the RAINN Speakers Bureau. Chanté also volunteers her time to support birth mothers during and after the adoption process. As a young girl, Chanté was sexually abused by 2 of her cousins, and during adulthood, she experienced acquaintance rape, which resulted in pregnancy. It became her norm to sweep those traumatic events under the rug. During the beginning stages of her healing process from rape, she realized she had been wearing a mask, not dealing with the painful aftermath of sexual trauma. She quickly learned that if she were not free, indeed, she could not truly enjoy life. Her decision to heal, love, and live again is what compelled her to start Earnest Love, Inc. Since 2007, Chanté has devoted herself to helping victims of trauma transition from survivors to overcomers, to thrivers in life. To this day, her passion remains – to help others experience emotional freedom. Chanté enjoys all things outdoors; nature is her peaceful place. She resides in Suwanee, GA, with her husband and their two children.
One of Chanté’s favorite scriptures is 2 Corinthians 5:17, ”Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come..” She firmly believes that God can take your shattered pieces and create a beautiful masterpiece if you let Him. https://www.earnestlove.org

Tough Talk Chirstian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Traci Neal:
I was born on March 8,1989 and I grew up in Hopkins, SC. I began writing poetry at 14 because a teacher from Hopkins Middle School told the class we had to write a poetry book. I fell in love with poetry and saw it as my outlet from bullying and low-self esteem. My passion for public speaking came later on in life. Ten years later, actually! As I kept trying to become an elementary teacher and failing the Praxis Exam, I felt like a total failure. God had a different plan though. Through spiritual guidance of character development at my church, Word of God Church and Ministries International with Bishop Eric W. Davis, I became a better woman of God. Now, I want to share my life experiences with children, adolescents, and young adults that Jesus is the better option! Like I love to tell people, "The world does not impress me!" www.tracinealspeakerpoet.com

They made the long journey to the wonderful state of Texas and set up home in beautiful Bayview, TX. In February 2014, while her mother was in hospice with metastasized bone cancer, she herself was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Brenda Mize Garza:
As I sit here thinking of my past, some memories make me smile, others make me cry, and still others make me welI aware that had it not been for God, I would not be here to enjoy this new day. My husband, Jesse and I live in San Antonio, Texas with our Pomeranian Sugar Baby. We have three wonderful children and five magnificent grandchildren. Growing up in the small town of Nectar, Alabama everywhere you looked was either peach orchards, cotton or corn fields. Our little town had one of those general stores, you know, the ones that sell peanuts out of a barrel and pickles from a jar. I graduated from Cleveland High School in Cleveland, Alabama. My graduation class was a total of 44. Then I perused a career in nursing. This path led me into the Armed Forces, which I will be forever grateful. The last two thirds of my career has been in anesthesia, as a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist). Many years ago, as I looked around a pediatric operating room that was decorated in cartoon characters. In my spirit, I felt the Lord say, “all the children know about these characters, but they do not know about me or my son.” I thought then that someone should write about God and Jesus in a way that children and young teens etc. could come to know them. My hope in writing The Beach House is that children, young adults and everyone who reads it will come to know The God Who created everything. That their hearts and minds will be open to the love and compassion of God the Father and Jesus, His son. That through my books they will feel the love He has for them. That they are special to Him, no matter who they are, or what they have done. Jesus died for all of us, so we could live through Him. https://www.brendamizegarza.com/

Dawn Apuan is a mindset & business coach who gives women the tools and support needed to find faith in themselves and live a life of purpose. Dawn inspires women to live abundant lives filled with peace and happiness, and spreads her message that stress & busyness is a choice – and so is joy. Dawn, a former pastor and Non-profit Executive Director, uses her compassion and expertise to guide women through her signature FAITH framework 1:1 business and mindset coaching program. Dawn is available to speak on topics related to personal development and entrepreneurship.
Dawn hit rock bottom after pouring my heart and soul into pastoral ministry, only to be told I was a failure based on stats that didn’t measure up.Crushed, I did what seemed logical at the time: learn new skills that could provide an income for my family so I could resign. An ordained pastor by day, I spent my evenings studying websites, copy, marketing, social media strategies, funnels…everything I could get my hands on to learn how to work from home. What surprised me most about becoming an entrepreneur was the personal development. This “secular” teaching (that’s all Biblically-based) Changed. My. Life. I experienced more peace, joy, and hope than I’d EVER felt in nearly thirty years of being a Christian and seven years as a pastor. Building a business I loved was just a bonus. Besides getting to support other entrepreneurs by building their funnels and writing the copy, I also get to help other Christian women build businesses that impact the world. http://www.dawnapuan.com

HOUSE TALK RADIO - UPDATING YOUR KITCHEN CABINETS WITH HOST WENDY & TONY GAMBONE:
You might not be ready for a full kitchen remodel, but you can still spruce up the look of your kitchen with a fresh coat of paint for your cabinets. The process is simpler and less costly than installing all new cabinets, and it's within the abilities of most homeowners. If you choose the right paint for kitchen cabinets, it can transform the look of your space while covering up dull, dingy surfaces. Open the door to new possibilities by painting your kitchen cabinets in a bold fresh color or opt for a classic look with a crisp shade of white. Whatever color you choose, you’ll need to pay special attention to what type of paint is best for kitchen cabinets and which finish will be the longest-lasting and easiest to clean.
Oil Paint vs. Latex Paint
Wondering whether you should reach for old-school oil paint or widely-available latex paint for your kitchen cabinets? The short answer is that latex paint is best for cabinets. Oil paint makes a case for itself with its reputation for easy application and a long-lasting finish that can be scrubbed and cleaned regularly, but latex paint is the best choice for most cabinets since it offers lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is quicker to dry. Oil-based paints are known for their resilient finish, and so they might be your first thought as the best paint for kitchen cabinets. If you open the cabinet with sticky or greasy hands, you can scrub away any residue without worrying about wearing away the paint or dulling the surface. However, oil paints have some flaws that become especially hard to ignore when painting cabinets.

House Talk Radio with Wendy and Tony Gambone and Special Guest Jeanette Chasworth:
Her clients have nicknamed me “The Color Whisperer” because of my approach to creating incredible rooms or homes for my clients. When starting a new project, I first listen to the needs and desires of both the client and the house. Instead of fitting my style into a project, I utilize my intuition and design knowledge to create a unique environment that weaves together each client’s unique tastes, preferences and functional needs to create a space or home that reflect the client’s personality.
After working with me, clients describe their new space as “visual expressions of their personality.” Their homes move from feeling chaotic to feeling more like a sanctuary. There is a sense of peace and comfort created by colors and textures that now harmonize with the energy of the client—and with their home. As a result, my portfolio illustrates great diversity in design, as my philosophy is unbounded by a particular style, and my inspiration draws from the desires that houses may ‘whisper in her ear.’ www.thecolorwhisperer.com
