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...
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.
