The Jeff Crilley Show

You've likely heard about equine therapy. It helps so many people with autism, veterans, people suffering from PTSD, or some other trauma. We're going to talk about that in great detail in a minute with the great Karen Renee Lucchesi. She is the co-founder of Rush Creek Sanctuary.

I think about times in this country when veterans were held in high regard, and times when, sadly, they were not recognized for their service. I think about the Vietnam War and how there were so many protesters at the time that they did not get the parade that so many veterans got. Fortunately, I think we're in a time in which veterans are put on a pedestal. If you really think about the ultimate...

It says in the Bible that we're not promised tomorrow. The truth is, if you're getting behind the wheel of a car, you're not promised this afternoon. We don't know when God's going to take us home, but my next guest is sure glad that God didn't take him home 18 years ago because he had some stuff to do on this planet. Dr. Serge P. Francois is in the studio. He's with Optimal Health and Longevity.

He spent six years in the NFL playing for teams like the Cowboys, Lions, and Dolphins, but God called an audible in this young man's life. Cory Procter is in the studio. He's the founder of Pro Capital Wealth Management.

They call it "the silver tsunami" because so many baby boomers are aging every day that our health care system truly doesn't have the manpower and woman power to deal with all of the people who are going to need help in the coming years. To talk about that today and much more is Cheryl A. Acres. She is a registered nurse, and she has a bunch of other credentials. She's my friend. She's a certified...

I remember about two years ago I started playing around with ChatGPT, and my jaw dropped. I could not believe what was coming out of ChatGPT, and this was two years ago. They've had many incarnations since then, and it's gotten better and better. There's two kinds of people: the people who embrace A.I. and the people who will be replaced by A.I. Somebody who knows that very well is my next guest....

The late, great Zig Ziglar used to talk about stinking thinking. We have this powerful computer in our mind, but so often we're playing the wrong tapes for ourselves. We're listening to the wrong advice. Sometimes we're criticizing ourselves so much that we don't even like ourselves. So how do you get unstuck? Well, you invite somebody into your life like my next guest. Krista Stepney is in the st...

I think we’re in the middle of a true craft beer renaissance. When you think about some of the finest beers in the world, they’re not coming from the big-name brands we all know—they’re being crafted by smaller, passionate brewers. That perfectly describes my next guest. Karl Sanford is in the studio today—he’s the CEO and co-founder of Manhattan Project Beer Company.

As the father of two adult children, I can tell you that one of the most painful moments in any parent's life is watching their child struggle and feeling completely helpless to fix it. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating. That’s exactly why I invited my next guest on the show. Jenn Robb is known as the Warrior Mom Coach, and she’s the author of the bestselling book "Warrior Mom Rising ."

We live in a culture where drinking is often celebrated. Whether it’s a TV commercial, a show, or a movie, alcohol seems to be everywhere. But at the end of the day, our top priority should always be keeping ourselves and others safe. That’s why drinking responsibly is so critical—it truly saves lives. My next guest knows this firsthand. Jessica Carew is the Chief Strategy Officer at Smart Start,...

I am blown away by my next guest. He's a model. He's an actor. He's a filmmaker. He's a very successful podcast host. He's the host of the soon-to-be-released The Rise of the Black Mogul podcast on this network, and he's blessing us with his presence: Timothy McBride.

As you're well aware, some of the largest organizations on the planet started over a conversation over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. That describes my next guest, Pam Rosener, who had this vision 20-plus years ago in 2001 for the Young Men's Service League. To learn more, you can see Pam's TedX Talk here: https://youtu.be/tK6Rdw6dWxI?si=fdUlQ_K2SZwinJVZ

Bosses across the country are facing new challenges in today’s workplace. With up to five generations working side by side in some companies, communication gaps are becoming more common, and when people aren’t speaking the same language, conflict often follows.  My next guest is an expert on this topic. Betsy Allen-Manning, a returning guest, is the owner and CEO of Destination Workplace and a sou...

If you look at the headlines from coast to coast, there is a crisis when it comes to affordable housing. In Dallas-Fort Worth, it's acute in West Dallas and South Dallas. Ossie Kendrix is in the studio right now. He's the new executive director of the Dallas Community Land Trust.

As the owner of a large marketing firm in Dallas, I'm always impressed with people who climb to the top of their industry. Joining me in studio is Venu Ganganna. He is the owner of the largest digital agency in all of India.

We know more about how the body works than ever in the history of mankind, and yet we're wired. We're tired. We are overcaffeinated during the day. Many of us are winding down with a cocktail at night. We're burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. Today, we're going to be talking about healthy living with two nationally known experts. They happen to be a husband and wife team, David Nie...

When you think about sports in America, you think about the big four. You think about baseball, football, hockey, and basketball. But, by far, the fastest-growing sport on the planet is soccer. Sam Morton is in the studio. He's the co-founder of Atlético Dallas, and he is reimagining soccer in Dallas.

I wrote one and only book in the year 2002, and I swore that I would never write another book again. It took me a year to write, and it was a painful journey. I was fortunate enough to sell 70,000 copies of "Free Publicity: A TV Reporter Shares The Secrets To Getting Covered On The News." I admire prolific writers, and that describes my next guest perfectly. Josh Hickman is in the studio. He's an...

This next show is special to me because I met Dr. Sonya Reddy at the height of the pandemic. She came on my show some four years ago, and I saw brilliance. I think she did too because she built a dental empire. I think she was burning the candle at both ends and in the middle, and so we're going to be talking from burnout to breakthrough with the great Dr. Sonya Reddy.

Most of us would feel blessed if we could run one large company in our life, but the man who is sitting next to me has led three very large companies: GameStop, Kinkos, & Laura Mercier. He says failure is the best teacher. Gary Kusin is in the studio.

My next guest and I share a similar journey. We both spent a lot of years in news, and then we got tired of telling murder stories so we both left. She left a couple of years ago, and she's a very talented journalist, storyteller, and lifestyle host. Joining me on the set right now is Chelsie Burroughs.

There was a time when Hollywood owned the film industry, but if you look at all of the Oscars that are being won right now, they're by independent filmmakers. They're often filming outside of LA. To talk about that today is Daniel Robert Durrett. He's with ReelNewz.com.

I have a soft spot in my heart for iHeart Media because for ten years, my beautiful bride Victoria Snee was a morning show host at Mix 102.9, and the very early days of The Jeff Crilley Show were on 1190 AM at iHeart. I met this lovely young lady the other day. We were at a press club event, and I had to have her on my show. Amanda Nichols is in the studio.

I am privileged to have in the studio Chris Thieneman. He played for the Cowboys briefly a couple of decades ago, and he has an incredible story. He goes by The Kentucky Cowboy, but there's a bigger story than that. He was named the Kentucky Cowboy by Tom Landry when he was just ten years old.

In any conversation about legendary oilmen, you have to talk about T. Boone Pickens, who passed a few years ago at the age of 91 and was one of the most philanthropic people in Dallas-Fort worth. Jay Rosser is in the studio right now. He's the director of the T. Boone Pickens Foundation.
