The Jeff Crilley Show

Dallas-Fort Worth has become known as a mecca for fine art thanks to families like the Bass family and the Nash family. How about fine art in your home? That's kind of a tricky game to navigate, but a guy who will be our tour guide today is David Dike. He's been in this industry since 1983.

This show is all about branding, and it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart because we're a branding and marketing company, podcast network, and public relations firm. Many people mistake a logo for a brand. They see the Apple logo or Nike logo, but that's not a brand. Your personal brand can sometimes transcend the company brand. To talk about that today is the great Robert Wall.

I think a lot about the late, great Norman Rockwell. He was a famous American artist who really captured what the American family was supposed to look like, all gathered at Thanksgiving with no quarrels. It was the picture of a perfect family, but we all know that's not the case, especially when it comes to finances. That's why I have Bill Walters in the studio. He heads up Perfectly Imperfect Fam...

My next guest spent her early days in war-torn Bosnia. None of us can even imagine the horrors that she saw growing up, but she has turned all of that pain into passion and purpose. Now she's a very successful life coach and motivational speaker, and she's helping women worldwide find empowerment. Mirsada Memic is in the studio.

If there's a knock on the medical world, it's that the family nurse practitioner or doctor only gets 5 to 10 minutes with their patient, and they're very quick with the prescription pad. There are so many doctors who probably have no idea how many cocktails or pills their clients are on. Dr. Christi Campbell knows this very well. She spent 48 years as a family nurse practitioner.

I cannot think of a more philanthropic community than DFW, and one of the reasons we’re so giving is because of the Communities Foundation of Texas. They’ve been around since 1953, and I’m blessed to have in the studio a good friend, Calvert Collins-Bratton, who is the Chief Relationships Officer.

There's an old saying that there are two most important days in your life. The day you were born and the day you find out why you were born. My next guest is Brynlea Taylor Lee. She's an influencer. She's a philanthropist. And she's found her purpose. It's faith, family, and serving others.

This episode is near and dear to my heart because I've known my next guest for some two decades, maybe longer. RaDonna Hessel in the studio. She's the CEO of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce.

I'm a baby boomer, so I'm part of a talking generation. Gen Z, on the other hand, is famously a texting generation. I think that gap becomes even more noticeable in behind-the-scenes roles like IT or cybersecurity. That’s why I have Antoine Jordan in the studio today. He’s a speaker and communications coach.

I've been doing the show for many years, and I know when I first started, if you talked about human trafficking, we were thinking about something that happened in a third-world country. But it is here, and everybody knows that child sex trafficking is a huge issue in America. Today, we're talking to Lisa Michelle, author of the bestselling book, Unlikely Warrior.

I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news, but a lot of Gen Zs are kind of putting off getting married. Their pets are their fur babies, and it's become a huge business for a lot of people, including my next guest, Robyn Pope. She heads up Haute Dog Pet Photography.

It's not something that we talk about a lot in our military and among our police, paramedics, and firefighters. There is often sexual harassment, and it doesn't always make the news. Sometimes there's that silent judgment that happens where you don't report someone, and so the problem is probably much bigger than we all recognize. To talk about that today is Lindsey Turner. She's the communication...

My father, brother, and uncle are all ministers. I'm a believer and believe that God gives us a healthy body with a perfect blueprint, and then we start to mess it up. We have an injury, so we start self-medicating. There are a million different ways to get away from God's blueprint. Somebody who's in the studio right now who believes the same as I do is Dr. Adam Milroy.

As the CEO of a podcasting network, I get to see a lot of shows come and go, and I can truly tell you that I've never heard of a better name for a show than my next guest's show. Robbin Kelton is in the studio. She has a Master's of Business Administration, and she's the founder of The Mamapreneur Podcast.

I've had a lot of people on my show over the years, but it takes a special person to light up my heart. Eric Love is in the studio, and he's a larger-than-life character here in Texas. A lot of people know him in Dallas-Fort Worth for his philanthropy, his entrepreneurship, and his time as a private investigator. He ran for mayor of Bedford, and he's known as Big Juicy.

There's an old saying that there are two most important days on the planet: the day you were born, and the day you find out why you were born. Dr. Kristen Guillory found out her purpose more than a decade ago. She is an international speaker, author, mentor, and a coach of other speakers. And she's in my studio right now.

When I think about heroes, I don't think about basketball or football players. I think about first responders and the military because they truly are heroes without capes., and some people are in studio right now who have been serving this precious group since 1981. Think about that for a minute. That's 45 years. That's amazing. Joining us in studio are Ricky Jones, the founder and CEO of Spirit o...

50% of all marriages end in divorce, unfortunately, and every once in a while, you need a couples therapist to come in and help you find that spark. That's why I have my next two guests in the studio, Kiana and Andrew Joyner. They are with Soul Journey Therapy and Coaching Services.

I love my life because I get to meet people who are helping other people live their best lives, and that perfectly describes my next guest. Brenda Ray is in the studio. She's the host of the upcoming show Jump Seat Therapy. 

We're in Dallas-Fort Worth, which means it's the home of all coaches. There are coaches on every street corner, but it takes a real master coach to coach other coaches. That precisely describes my next guest. Molly Claire is in the studio. She's a master coach and coauthor of this bestselling book, She Rises.

First United Methodist Richardson is one of the oldest churches in North Texas. I mean, you would really have to go to one of the old churches in downtown Dallas to find anything older. It has a rich history of 139 years on the planet, and two of the driving forces behind this amazing institution are in the studio right now. Dr. Clayton Oliphint is the senior pastor, and Rohini Drake is the creati...

From time to time, we have people who are running for office in my studio, but I think my next guest has probably the most colorful story that I've ever told. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Larry Brock is in the studio. He's running for Texas State House District 106.

If we all went back in the Wayback Machine to the mid-90s and somebody said, "They're going to start a dating app and you're going to meet a complete stranger in a bar", we would have all been shocked. But now I can't tell you how many marriages that I've seen came from a dating app. Daniel Haritos is in the studio. He's created an app called Switcheroo, and it's basically a dating app for things.

I think you'll agree with me that we live in challenging times. We have people divided by race, color, creed, and religion. We're getting hit by all sides, and sometimes you need to bring in a spiritual mentor. That's what I did today. Dr. Faith Robertson is in the studio.

I can't think of very many non-profits that have been around since 1938. The few I can think of are the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, and, of course, the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes has a huge fundraiser coming up, and we're going to talk about that today with Alex Lines, the culinary chair of the March of Dimes' Dallas Signature Chefs Auction, and Heather Bosillo.
