The Jeff Crilley Show

Millions of people wake up every morning and hit the snooze button. My next guest wakes up and thinks, “I’m going to run a half marathon today.” Bal Joshi is in the studio. He’s known as The Running Monk , and you’re about to hear his incredible story.

I’ve known my next guest for more than 20 years, and he’s truly a legend in the restaurant world. Jeff Barker is in the studio with us today, and we’re going to dive into his incredible restaurant journey and the exciting concept he’s involved with now.

I’ve always admired mompreneurs. They’re leading at home, raising their families, and nights and weekends, they’re building businesses from the ground up. My next guest embodies that spirit. Haley Hoover is in the studio—CEO and founder of Winnie & Lu.

When you think about some of the most influential speakers on the planet, names like Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, and Tony Robbins immediately come to mind. These are individuals who don’t just motivate—they change lives. And my next guest belongs in that very exclusive category. Dan Clark is a member of the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame, a distinction reserved for those whose impact and influence...

One of my absolute favorite people in banking is the incredible Janice Spooner. She’s been on the show before, and every time she joins us, the conversation is insightful and energizing.

At Wayfinder Wealth, his team brings critical disciplines together under one roof, creating a coordinated, strategic approach to long-term financial success. Too often, CPAs, tax planners, wealth strategists, and attorneys operate in silos, rarely...

I think you'll agree with me on this: I think we live in a nation of victims. If only there were a different president, if only there were a different economy, if only I were born into a different family, then things would be different. There are people on this planet who make it happen, and people who watch it happen. My next guest is Angelia Dunbar. She is a real estate mogul, acclaimed author,...

Age truly is a state of mind. We all know people in their 20s and 30s who act like they're in their 80s, and every once in a while, you meet somebody in their 80s who acts like they're in their 20s and 30s. That perfectly describes my next guest. The great Patti Frenette is in the studio. She's the author of the bestselling book, Sorpresa!.

In corporate America, there's an old saying that it's lonely at the top. The CEO and president of a company can sometimes have nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night, wondering if this or that is going to work or not. Sometimes they're stressed out of their mind. They have to be like that duck on the pond where their feet are going a million miles a minute, but on top of the water, they...

Let's be honest: it's tough to raise a child these days in a two-parent home. Now imagine being a single parent raising a child. One out of three children in Texas is being raised in a single-parent household. Today, we have an expert on this who's been featured on national news. Stacie Martin is the founder and president of Single Parent Advocate.

My adult kids are fully grown now, but when they were 19 and 16, we had this routine. After my son finished Hebron High, we would go to the West Plano location of Fat Straws, and we would plot the strategy to grow this into a global company. We found that it was almost magical: the discussions, the service, the amazing bubble tea. As I have these wonderful memories, I'm so happy to welcome to the...

When you think about the way our healthcare system works, I think you have a lot of young doctors going out into the world and taking out a prescription pad and just writing prescriptions for medicine. Sometimes you find people on five different drugs that don't actually interact with each other very well, so they have a cocktail that might be poisoning them. That's when you lean into Eastern medi...

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know I like to put people on the show who are changing the world one person at a time. That perfectly describes my next guest. Vickie Gould is in the studio. She's a bestselling author, speaker, and sound and energy healing expert.

When you think about the world of health care, we have Eastern medicine, and we have Western medicine. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are solutions that can be found by diving into any practice. My next guest is Jennifer Morris, and she is deep into energy healing.

We've all had this experience. You're driving in traffic, and then you see this huge truck that says, "Wide Load." It could be carrying a missile, a helicopter, or other heavy cargo. It takes a very specialized shipping and trucking company to manage that kind of load, and my next guest is the king of the road. Chandler Magann is in the studio. He's the founder and president of Next Exit Logistics...

The funny thing about life is that from the outside it could look like you have it all going on, while on the inside you've lost your true north. That describes my next guest. Jessica "GourJess" Gabriel is in the studio. She's an author, speaker, and the founder of Divine Women Institute.

I am so excited about my next guest because she is a true broadcasting pro. She's been hosting her own show for six years now. She's here from Florida, and she's going to share her journey. Please welcome Dalila Ramos, the host of Taco Tuesday's Talks with Dalila.

The media is fascinated with Gen Z. It's like a unicorn. There's never been a generation like this before. My father grew up during the Great Depression. I'm softer than my father, and I'm a baby boomer. I think every generation gets a little bit softer, and the challenge is that the manager or leader of an organization is not going to be able to change other people. They have to change themselves...

I'm a big Cumulus fan. I wake up listening to KLIF, and then I turn over to WBAP and hear my next guest's name every 15 minutes. Dan Harker is a prominent name in the Cumulus universe because of his philanthropy, which we're going to talk about in a second. Dan Harker is from the EmpowerHome Team.

I was a TV news reporter for 25 years, so I told stories through the traditional media. Now I'm telling people stories through public relations and podcasting, and I've always been fascinated with the masters of storytelling.  Jae Oates joins us in the studio. He's the chief creative for H+O Brands.

If you've watched this show, you know I like to interview unicorns - people who are doing something amazing and unique in their industry. That perfectly describes my next guest. Dr. Anna Cabeca is in the studio. She's a triple board-certified OB-GYN. She's also known as The Girlfriend Doctor.

One of my favorite people on the planet is my next guest, Jeremy Rosenthal. He is just an incredible legal mind and has become a dear friend. He is the founding partner of Texas Defense Firm. 

I love Dallas-Fort Worth. It's the home of so many consulting firms that there's one on every street corner. However, there are people who like book smart, and there are people who are street smart. The latter describes my next guest perfectly. Brian Parsons is the chief revenue officer with Mejeticks. It's one of the leading technology consulting firms in the state of Texas.

They say there are three types of people on this planet: the people who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, "What just happened?" We've all had great ideas, and then somebody else takes them to market. Whitney Rowell is in the studio. She's the founder and CEO of Miracle Mama.

If you watch the news, I think we focus too much on what's happening in America. We never focus on what's happening on the rest of the planet, and that's why I invited my next guest on the show: Kevin Briggs. He's the co-founder and CEO of Texas de Peru.
