The Jeff Crilley Show

When I wrote my book 20 plus years ago, I started thinking about PR people in Dallas-Fort Worth who impressed me, and I included a press release in my book, Free Publicity. It was a perfect public relations campaign, and I have the people behind it in the studio right now: David & Carolyn Alvey. They are with Aardvark Communications.

As long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with excellence. I remember in my TV news days, even though the camera person would be in charge of editing my story, I would edit it myself because I wanted it just right. Now I started this public relations firm and a podcast network, and I'm still obsessed with excellence. That's why I have my next guest on the show. Mike Garabedian is in the studio...

I'll tell you one of the reasons I came to Dallas in the early '90s was because of the television show Dallas. I was watching it up in Michigan, and Dallas just seemed so glamorous. The towers, J.R. Ewing, we all remember this. Well, the Dallas film & television community has never gone away. In fact, it's getting stronger than ever. That's why I have my next guest in the studio - Katie Schuck...

We hear a lot about PTSD on the news. What we don't hear a lot about is PTSI. That's post-traumatic stress injury, and there's a big difference. Joining us in the studio is an amazing filmmaker and good friend, Dr. Charlie Powell.

If you've watched the show for any length of time, you know I love to profile entrepreneurs. I love to profile people who are doing something with a purpose, and that perfectly describes my next guest. Bob Gallup is in the studio. He's the Chief Revenue Officer for Smart Start.

I've always been fascinated with charisma and how somebody can come into a room, and the room changes. Part of that is their charm, their grace, and their ability to shine light in. The other part of that experience is their ability to read the room, or in the case of the internet generation, read the Zoom. To talk about that today, a good friend of mine, Melinda Marcus, is a certified body langua...

There's an old saying that people don't leave companies, they leave bad bosses. Unfortunately, most bosses in America haven't even read a leadership book. They don't know how to manage a team, and that's why I brought in my next guest, Sally Bryant. She's the CEO of Bryant Group.

Obviously, there are needs all over the state of Texas. The big cities tend to get all the attention because that's where the media markets are. Smaller counties and cities don't get the attention, and often they don't get the funding to meet those needs. To talk about that today is Stephanie Chandler. She is the CEO of Community Well TX.

I think you'll agree that we all have negative self-talk. We tell ourselves the wrong stories. We wake up in fear. Sometimes we can't sleep at night. Well, you need a breakthrough. That's why I invited Dr. Stan Harris back on my show. He's Dr. BreakThrough.

In the studio right now is Brandon Burden. He has run for office before, and he is currently a candidate for Texas House District 67, which covers a large area including parts of McKinney, Allen, and Plano.

We live in a crazy world. Let's be honest: there's so much stress going on. We had the pandemic, and then there's an epidemic of stress just in the average household. But imagine a first responder. Imagine somebody coming back from war. It's a really big deal right now. Dr. Veronica Sites is in the studio. She's the founder of Post-Traumatic Stress Development.

On this network, we host the Dale Hansen Show, and I just had a conversation with him a couple of days ago about the death penalty and SMU paying players. If you think about what happened some 30 years ago at SMU, the rules have all changed. We're going to be talking about gamified giving today with two experts, Chaitan Fahnestock from Sportsmo and Matt Rosen from Allata.

I'm so excited for this show because I've known Donna Arp Weitzman for a dozen years, and she's a many-times bestselling author. She took a radical departure from the stuff that she had written before when she wrote this book. It's called Twisted Retribution. She's in studio, and she called me the other day and said, "Not only am I in the top half percent on Amazon, but they're about to make this...

I'm a believer. My father, brother, and uncle are all ministers. When I go to church, I don't hear a lot about fitness, and that's too bad because several times in the Bible it says your body is a temple. Dangelo Lee is in the studio. He's a speaker, author, wellness coach, and thought leader.

I was a reporter at Fox Four almost 30 years ago when we hosted our last World Cup event. I am thrilled to have Nina Vaca in the studio. She is the co-chair of the North Texas FIFA World Cup 2026 Organizing Committee.

I remember growing up in the '70s and '80s, and if I could name one CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I was lucky. Everybody could name Bill Gates from Microsoft, but beyond that, CEOs would just stay in the background. Now we live in a culture of celebrity where you can name Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and dozens of others who are leading their company, and that causes people to need to s...

I teased off the top of the show The Seven S's To Getting Any Woman, but I'm going to suggest that the best buyer of this book is a woman to give to a man. Women need to read this to give to their future husband or boyfriend. Read this book because this will tell you a lot about how to relate to women. The great Rod Warner is in the studio. He's with Rod Warner Counseling, and he's the author of t...

One of the fastest growing groups in America is people who are car enthusiasts, and they just don't have enough garage for all their cars. I think about Jay Leno, and I think about so many other people who collect cars. In the studio today is the co-founder of Garages of America, Jack Griffin.

There's an old saying, "There are two important days in your life. The day you were born and the day you know why you were born." My next guest realized when she was just a child that she had a gift for healing, and so, in the studio today, Dr. Madeline Johnston. She's with Addison Chiropractic.

We have some of the best doctors on the planet in the United States, and unfortunately, I think the whole health care system is built on taking care of sick people. Prevention is the key, and today we have someone who was talking about prevention and wellness before it was cool. In fact, you got some arrows in your back talking about this in the 60s. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper is the father of aerobics...

We have some of the best doctors on the planet right here in the United States. Unfortunately, so many of them are tied up in meetings with patients for five minutes that they don't really have time to get to the bottom of the problem, so they're writing prescriptions all the time. To talk about wellness today is the great John Shero, the founder and CEO of Visionary Wellness and Imaging.

When I got to Dallas in the early '90s, I had the privilege of working with the great Chris Yates. He's won Emmys, done amazing things with his career, and gone on to do even more amazing things post-television. The great Chris Yates is in the studio.

If you think about America's heroes, the veterans who go off to war and put their lives on the line for our freedom, they come back, and often many of them are struggling. Famously, we hear that 22 veterans commit suicide every single day. For a different way to look at PTSD and dealing with depression among our nation's heroes, there are the folks who are on my show right now: the co-hosts of The...

There's an old saying, "There are three kinds of people on the planet. There are the people who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, 'What just happened?'" I've got two people who make it happen in my studio. They are with Rising Tides: Chris Wycoco and Jonathon McCellan.

When I think we know about the human body and how it works now more than any time in the history of mankind, yet we're an overweight country. We're wired, and we're tired. We're drinking coffee to get us up in the morning. We're winding down with an adult beverage, and we're getting fatter than ever before. I think sometimes old wisdom is the best wisdom. It's what our mom and grandma told us: eat...
