The Jeff Crilley Show

I don't know if you know this, but November and December are the deadliest months of the year when it comes to cardiac arrest. Dr. Fahmi Farah is a good friend of mine. She's a board-certified invasive cardiologist with Bentley Heart, and she's in the studio. She's also the host of the very popular show Queen of Hearts.

There's an old saying that there are two most important days on the planet: the day you were born, and the day you figure out why you were born. My next guest has been on the show a couple of times before. Welcome to the show author, speaker, and healer Val Vidal.

I think that as Americans, we like to complain. We like to complain when somebody messes up our coffee order, or we're inconvenienced because we're having to wait in line at the bank. We don't really understand adversity the way my next guest does. Elise Martin is the author of TRIUMPH: An American Girl's Journey Out of Saudi Arabia.

Diabetes is the silent killer. I would bet that millions and millions of Americans are walking around with diabetes, and they don't even know it. That, unfortunately, can be fatal. Miss Angie is in the studio. She heads up Diabetes Squad Up.

I see the headlines every day: Gen Z has struggles. They're having trouble getting a job right out of college. They're having trouble dealing with managers who might be boomers. They truly need to learn grit. Grit is the Stick-to-itiveness that it takes to be successful in this world. I grew up in a time when life was not a bowl of cherries; you just sucked it up, and you learned something from ev...

I can't think of anything more confusing than the stock market. It goes up; it goes down. People make money when it goes up, and people make money when it goes down. There's something called swing trading and day trading, and day trading got a bad name many years ago because people were being reckless with their money. However, there is a system, and there's a formula to make money. Kam Dasani has...

When I think about the ultimate comfort food, when it comes to dessert, I mean, we think about cakes and pies and ice cream. But truly, I think the ultimate comfort food is pudding. I remember, like, soothing any wound that I had in childhood with some homemade pudding. And my mom did such a great job. Michael Sanders is in the studio. He's with Pruuf Gourmet Pudding.

I love twin sisters because there's a bond that will never break. They shared the same womb together. Teka and Sheka are in the studio and they're part of an empire that is growing called Bold and Beautiful.

You don’t have to be a soccer fan to know the World Cup is coming to Dallas next year, with countless games headed our way. The world will be watching, and one of the key people behind bringing it here is Dan Hunt—president of FC Dallas and a major force in securing the World Cup. 

We talk a lot about cybersecurity on this show — and for good reason. It feels like every day there’s another major data breach, whether it’s the federal government, a big bank, or a company like Walmart or Target. It always makes me wonder: how do we stay one step ahead of the bad actors? I’m grateful to have Andrew Wildrix in the studio today to help answer that. He’s the VP of Business Developm...

I read recently that the number of dementia cases in this country is expected to skyrocket and potentially double in the next 30 years, and it's affecting almost every single family in America.  Phil Hurley is in the studio. He's the COO of London Broadcasting.

I have to admit that I'm kind of a dumb guy when it comes to diamonds. My wife picked out her wedding ring, and we did it together. I know there are four C's, but I can't tell you what the four C's are. We're going to talk about all things luxury jewelry with Jason Stephens. He's with Bova Diamonds.

I don't know about you, but I think we get upset about small things in life. We get cut off by somebody in traffic, or someone messes up our order at Starbucks. Instead of all of that, imagine dying twice, which is exactly what happened to my next guest. Kevin Lopez is a retired Plano detective and a heart recipient.

I can't think of too many industries that are older than the railroad industry in America. I had to look this fact up on Wikipedia: the railroad industry goes back to the 1820s. Can you imagine that? Since then, a lot of stuff has changed, including AI and all the different solutions that have come along, but the railroad industry is pretty much the same as it's been for 200 years. It's taking thi...

Let's talk about dressing to impress. These days, everything is very business casual, and some people will show up at work in a T-shirt. However, the truth is that when you look good, you feel good, and that's why I'm invited in my next guest. Laura Fedock is in the studio. She's a personal stylist, personal shopper, fashionista, and wardrobe consultant.

Everyone knows about the concept of the midlife crisis. Unfortunately, young people these days are having a quarter-life crisis. They're waking up in their 20s and wondering, "What is this all about?" I can't think of a better person to invite into the studio than the great Paul Peters. He's an author, speaker, TV host, and expert on finding your purpose.

We had the pandemic, followed by the post-pandemic, and the post-pandemic is marked by an increase in addiction. People are getting addicted to different things, whether that be drugs, alcohol, or pornography. People are self-medicating through different vices, and some people who are on the forefront of fighting addiction are in the studio right now. Dusty Gray is with Soul's Harbor, and James Ha...

Not since the invention of the internet has there been such a game-changing technology. It's called AI. You've heard all about it, but the truth is that most Americans don't know how to embrace it. Instead, they fear it and wonder if it's going to replace their job. I think Mark Cuban said, There are two kinds of people on the planet: the people who will understand AI, and the people who will be e...

There's an old saying: "There are three kinds of people on the planet: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who say, 'What just happened?'" When I set up this segment, I'm talking about AI. We've all heard of it, but unless you embrace it, you are being left behind. To talk about that today is Ed Garza. He's the Ninja of Digital and founder of MomentumTech. AI.

There's an old saying, "It's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up," and my next guest knows that very well. She's been knocked down many, many times, and she continues to get up and meet that bell. Jenna Hunt Summers is in the studio. She's a Christian author, motivational speaker, writer, and singer.

I remember when I was at FOX 4, if you talked about human trafficking, everybody just assumed it was happening in a third-world country and not in our backyard. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. There's been a lot of publicity here in the last few years talking about how human trafficking is happening right here in Dallas, and somebody who's on the forefront of this fight is in...

It says in the Bible that your body is your temple, and many of us are abusing the temple. We're staying up too late. We're overcaffeinated. Maybe we're having alcohol or fast food, and we're destroying the temple. Somebody who is convicted about this is my next guest: Coach G. She's the founder and CEO of Mind Body Soul Shift, LLC.

I think most Americans, even those people who are familiar with the stock market, find investing very confusing. The stock market is up 500 points one day, and it's down 500 points, selling the same stocks they were buying the day before. That's why many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They just don't have their financial house in order. To talk about that today are two people on the bl...

I remember when I was in elementary school, and they encouraged us all to take up an instrument. I was attracted to the violin, and so I had a one-day lesson with a guy who said, "You are not meant for the violin." That was the end of my violin career, but I've loved the majesty of a violin ever since. It's a beautiful, beautiful instrument. It's like the notes are coming from God. Somebody who sh...

I don't know about you, but I don't give a lot of thought to the soap that I use every morning when I shower. I just grab something that's on sale or something with a catchy name that I recognize, but there are harmful chemicals in a lot of those soaps. Today, we're talking about all-natural soaps with Susan Svec. She's the queen of all-natural soaps, and she heads up Susan's Soaps & More.
