Please forgive me if I'm a little starstruck on this show. I've been listening and watching Bob Lovell on TV and radio for decades. He is a local broadcasting legend. Who doesn't know his jingle? I am excited to welcome Bob Lovell from HMS.
I’m so excited to welcome the amazing Ruby Bhandari back to the studio. She’s truly a fashion icon in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She’s been in the industry for nearly three decades—and somehow still looks like she’s 12, so I can’t quite do the math on that!
This is a personal show for me because I'm interviewing my father-in-law, Dr. Ron Snee. He is an absolute legend in the world of statistics and Six Sigma.
I dedicated about a decade of my life to Rotary. It’s an amazing philanthropic organization that dates back to the early 1900s in Chicago. They do so many good things around the world, but one of the most inspiring efforts I’ve witnessed is the Plano Flags of Honor. Joining us now are two of the leaders behind that initiative: Ean Sullivan and Lisa Bloomer.
A confession: I love The Ticket. I love what they've done to broadcasting and how they've helped change the way sports broadcasting is done in America—especially on the radio. And right now, a broadcasting legend is in the studio: Mark Elfenbein, a personal hero of mine and a legendary broadcaster. His friends know him as Elf.
I'm so honored to have Steve Symonds in the studio today. He's with Symonds Flag & Pole. If you've driven around Dallas-Fort Worth, you've probably seen those massive flags flying in front of car dealerships or city buildings. Well, my next guest is the one who makes them. I can only imagine how proud he must feel driving around the area, pointing out, "I did that one. And that one, too."
I have great respect for everyone in the medical field, especially for the hardworking men and women who have dedicated their lives to helping children. My good friend, Dr. Isha Mannering—a board-certified pediatrician—is in the studio today.
I'm a proud member of EO Dallas — the Entrepreneurs' Organization. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of witnessing several of my forum mates successfully sell their companies. Their exits were successful because they had the right advisors. That's why I'm doing this show right now. Joining me are Al Fialkovich and Jess Fialkovich. They work together, but they also run separate companies.
I have to confess, there have been several times in my life when I was addicted to working out. I couldn’t imagine a day—rain, shine, or snow—when I didn’t go to the gym to exercise. I think I was hooked on the high you feel, often called a runner’s high. Two guys are in my studio right now from Body Machine Fitness, Joe Pizzurro and Reza Ghanbarpour, and their mission is to get you addicted to living a better lifestyle.
It seems like every single day, there's a new storyline about immigration. So when I cover a hot topic like this, I bring in the best expert in the state—and that perfectly describes my next guest. Susham M. Modi is in the studio. He's the founder of The Modi Law Firm.
If you walk through the skincare aisle of any grocery store or department store, it can be overwhelming—so many choices. And sometimes you'll see labels that say "organic" or "natural." But that doesn't necessarily mean everything in the product is good for you. To talk more about that today, we have Janelle Friedman in the studio. She's the founder and owner of GoodJanes.
Who hasn't heard of hormone replacement therapy? Every time you turn on the radio or watch television, there's another ad. But not all providers are created equal. Here to talk about that today is Mandy Cotten, owner of the Institute for Hormonal Balance.
By now, thanks to all the publicity, most people know that human trafficking is not just something that happens in some third-world nation. It's happening right here in our backyard. Some people who were talking about this before it was even on anybody's radar are in the studio right now: Bianca Davis, the CEO of New Friends New Life, and Bill Wallace, the Honorary Chair.
As a son of a minister, I love to put a spotlight on faith when I can, and this show is all about faith from a couple who is wild, crazy in love. They're also co-hosts of the Ron and Deb Unplugged show.
This happens in the life of almost every company in America. They're growing. They've got an IT guy. They keep getting bigger, and then they have a discussion like, "You know, how do we scale this thing?" Sometimes you bring in a freelance IT guy—it saves you a bunch of money. You don't have to hire a new employee. To talk about that today, we've got Travis Springer. He's the president of Sagiss.
A little backstory: when I worked for Fox 4 in the 90s and early 2000s, I would run into Leisa Hart in the hallway because she was always on the morning show doing some fitness routine. We didn't really get to know each other until maybe a year or so ago when she came on my show for the first time, but she hid something from me and hid something from you a year ago. She's going to reveal that secret today. Welcome to the show media personality and fitness expert Leisa Hart.
The Museum of Biblical Art has been around in some form or fashion since the 1960s, so it has to be one of the oldest museums in Dallas. However, there are many Dallas locals who have never visited the museum. Joining us now is the Executive Director, Dr. Scott Peck.
I think I speak for millions of small business owners across the country when I say I have no clue what we pay in credit card processing fees, and I know we do over $100,000 in credit cards every single month. So, it would probably pay for me to investigate that, wouldn't you say? That's the money in the couch cushions that everybody forgets about. To talk about that today is Brennon Dunbar from OpTPay Partners.
As a country, we've made great strides over the past few decades in becoming more inclusive and understanding of people with learning differences. Joining us in the studio is Jordan Burk — a good friend and the creator of Kelly and Kelso .
On this episode of The Jeff Crilley Show, I’m joined by Cindy Vann, author of the bestselling book, PTSD: Passing Through Shadows of Death, who shares her powerful story of overcoming immense trauma and transforming tragedy into triumph. Her journey is so inspiring, they’re even making a movie about her life. Learn more on Cindy's website: www.cindyvann.com
I met Internationally Acclaimed Artist, Rolando Diaz, about five years ago. He came on my show to promote an upcoming event, and he blew me away. So, when his publicist, Emily Stern, came to me and said, “Hey, he's got another big event.” I said, “Absolutely, he has to come back to the show.”
I definitely married up. I’m lucky to be married to the amazing Victoria Snee from Highland Park Village. She’s a stylist, which means she’s always dressing me up like her own personal Ken doll. So if you’ve ever complimented my outfit, the credit goes to Victoria. But not everyone is married to a stylist, and that’s exactly why I brought in my next guest. Elisa Ellis is in the studio. She’s a wardrobe stylist, an author, and a good friend of mine.
Each year in this country, we spend billions of dollars to protect our data, and yet the bad guys keep getting in. How can we stay one step ahead of the bad guys? Joining me in the studio today to explore that question is my good friend and Cyber Security Expert, Alain Espinosa.
We are proud members of the Gleneagles Country Club, and pickleball has become an absolute phenomenon. Half of the tennis players are now moving to pickleball, and so I'm curious about it. I've never actually picked up a racket and started to play, but I'm a fan of the idea that a sport can come out of nowhere and suddenly become the most popular sport in America. To talk about that today is Zion Meer, the Fort Worth & Hurst Picklr owner.
I'm a big believer. My father, uncle, and brother were all ministers, and I think God is always talking to us. But let's be honest. How many times are we listening? God gives us signs even if he's not putting burning bushes in front of us. It's not Noah being told to build an ark, but little signs every single day. Sometimes we call it coincidence. God is always talking to us, and my next guest is also a big believer: Ben Duelley, the author of God Was Always Speaking, I Just Wasn't Listening....
I am a proud sponsor of Success North Dallas, and for three decades, they welcome incredible speakers every third Wednesday of the month. I was absolutely blown away by the speaker I heard this morning; he literally had me in tears. Therefore, I had to invite him to the studio to celebrate his life and journey. Captain Randy Norfleet is here to share a very painful story.
I'm sure you've heard the statistics: half of all marriages end in divorce. When you're picking a divorce attorney, there are those attorneys that want to take you to war and rack up the legal bill, and there's other attorneys, like my next guest, who really want to make sure that everybody is taken care of without harm to the children. Kimmy Vermillion Wright is in the studio, and she's with Atwood & McCall.
When I think about the heyday of the Democratic Party in Texas, I think about the LBJ and Ann Richards years. However, in a largely conservative state, the Democratic Party has faced a couple challenging decades. Kendall Scudder, Texas Democratic Chairman, is in the studio today to discuss the ways he is working to change that narrative.
I've never been called to run for elected office, but I very much respect the people who do because it's often a thankless job. You're giving up countless hours dedicated to community service, and that describes my next guest, Veronica Law . She is a candidate for Tarrant County College Board of Trustees.
I'm obviously a marketing person, so I'm attracted to people who know this business better than I do. This describes my next guest. Amber Gaige is in the studio, and she's with Far Beyond Marketing.
