The Jeff Crilley Show

When you think about our military, we go through boot camp. We put people through a lot of days and days of work to get them ready and steeled for war. But when it's time to leave the military, I think it's something like half a day of reclamation training, and it leaves a lot of veterans frustrated and unable to integrate back into society. That's why I love putting a loving spotlight on some ama...

They never make movies about people who were born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would go see that movie. They see movies like Rocky overcoming obstacles, Million Dollar Baby, and I'm convinced that they're going to make a movie after my next guest. Natalie Nichole is in the studio today. She's an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, best-selling author, actress, and influencer.

My show open is familiar to a lot of us. We were climbing some little hill or mountain, and we get to the top and look around and we say, "Is this all there is?" And then we go in another direction. We climb another mountain. That's certainly what I did in my career. And that is very true for my next guest. Aaron Antillon is in the studio. He's a dynamic speaker, he's a coach, and he's my friend.

If there's anything good that came from the pandemic (and not a lot good came from the pandemic), it's that we've gotten out in the open that mental health is a real problem across the globe. And you know, years ago, if you were in law enforcement or firefighting, you wouldn't dream of telling anybody that you had a mental health issue because they'd take you off the street. Now, even our first re...

I love disruptors, and I love featuring them on my show. If you think about the game of golf, it's been around for centuries, and there haven't been all that many advances when it comes to technology or somebody who is changing the game. Today, Jon Schultz, the CEO of ezLocator, is in the studio with me.

It says in the Bible to love thy neighbor, but if you look at the business world, it's more like "do unto others before they do it to you." Monday through Friday can be a difficult time in the dog-eat-dog business world. But two people who are making a profound difference here in Dallas-Fort Worth are in the studio right now: Noel Sinaga and Phil Carlson. They're both with an organization called C...

If you're a child with dyslexia, you can get bullied at school. You can certainly go into a downward spiral of self-pity and regret. But my next guest has turned it into a superpower. Now he's teaching people of all walks of life, all over the planet, that you can turn whatever you see as a possible setback into your superpower. Dylan Smith joins me today and D is for Dyslexia, is the name of his...

I remember after doing TV news for 25 years, I think I was in something of a rut. I wasn't getting the joy I would get in the early days of TV news, and I finally had to leave TV news to start this public relations firm and podcast network. I'm so overjoyed that finally, maybe God pushed me and I took that leap. It's dangerous to take that leap, but my next two guests can talk about getting Zesty....

There's an old saying. It's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. My next guest knows this story very well and now that's what she's doing with her life. She's helping entrepreneurs get up after suffering a setback. Sharontine Bottley is in the studio and she's with Portfolio Academy.

I am a proud member of EO Dallas. That stands for Entrepreneurs' Organization, and we love to bring sponsors on our show. A long-time sponsor is FBFK Law. Joining us now is Mackey Culbertson. He's one of the rising stars over there.

There's an old saying: if you want to see how successful a city is, look for the cranes. Not the birds, but the cranes that are putting up buildings. When I drive through Dallas-Fort Worth and up into Frisco, you see cranes to your right and to your left, but to make sure that everybody gets an opportunity for those very lucrative jobs, I brought into the studio Tammy Pierce. She's the CEO and fou...

I remember when I took my job at Fox 4 in the early '90s. I got off the plane and the news director said, "There's only two things you need to know about Dallas-Fort Worth: food and fashion." And if you can combine the two of them, you've really got a winner of an event. So joining me now are two of the driving forces behind Food in Fashion: Jessica Gohring and D'Andra Simmons.

Most of the businesses started in America are started by small businesses, and the lifeblood of every small business in America is a good banking relationship. That's why I invited my next two guests into the studio: Tyler Pope and Kyle Harger. They're both with Texas Security Bank.

We're taping this on a fortuitous day for my next guest because this is World Cancer Day, in which we educate people on the different ways that people can put themselves at risk. And something that's new to me, I just learned this, is that there is a link between bras and breast cancer. C.J. Grace is in the studio. She is a former BBC journalist, she's a comedian, she's a self-help author, and she...

I've had a chance to interview a lot of immigration attorneys recently on my show, but this next guest is the managing partner of Tidwell, Swaim, and Farquhar. They've been around since 1978. That's amazing!

Immigration has been all over the news. You can't watch a single television station without seeing something about what Trump is doing these days, and that is causing a windfall for the people who are involved with immigration and helping people become legal. And I think we can all agree that everybody wants legal immigration. Luis Rojo is in the studio. He's with Rojo Steele.

I'm seeing these articles all over the place about how large, small, and midsize companies are bringing in etiquette experts to teach younger employees how to communicate. Let's be honest: I'm a baby boomer, so I'm a talking generation, and Gen Z is a texting generation. Some of the basic soft skills that you need to be successful in life are not being taught in colleges. Sometimes the parents are...

In my TV career, I had a chance to work with some amazing videographers, and I have so much respect for that craft. They always say a picture speaks a thousand words, and if that's true, then a video speaks 10,000 words. Let's talk today to a brilliant videographer. Her name is Cai Ranáe, and she's with Cai Ranáe Visuals.

Well, I don't know about you, but it's frustrating to me. I wake up every morning and see another headline about another cybersecurity hack. It doesn't matter if it's the largest bank in the country or the federal government, but everybody is vulnerable to these attacks. To talk about that today, Mary Hamilton, she's the CEO of Mad Data.

Well, I have been blessed. To date, I have been employed for 40-plus years, and I've never received that dreaded letter from the IRS saying, "You're being audited." But if I did, I would get a pro to come in and help me with that, and that describes my next guest. Fabian Cruz, founder of Cito Tax, is in the studio.

I love it when people find their purpose. For 25 years of my life, I was a television reporter telling stories and not always the happiest stories; sometimes I was covering crimes. Now I get to put a spotlight on people doing amazing things, and I'm so proud to have my next guest on the show because she also has a passion for helping people. Chelsea Debrah is a family nurse practitioner, and she's...

I have to confess, I think I've led such a blessed life that I've not known tremendous tragedy, and by that I mean a significant death of a loved one. I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose somebody that close to you, but my next guest knows that very well. Francine Ivey is in the studio. She's a kingdom coach.

I am a boomer, and I think I grew up along hard knocks. I mean, you didn't get anything for free. I have two hardworking children, but they don't have the same sticktoitiveness that I do. And I think this next generation is even more spoiled. They never got told no, so sales across industries are really suffering right now. To talk about that today is nationally known expert, Scott Schilling.

At the time of this taping, immigration is all over the news. We're hearing about Ice raids. And so the country has become very heated about immigration. But if we think about this land being a land of immigrants, we all came from someplace else to come to America. Legal immigration is so critical. To talk about that today is Angela M. Lopez with ALMA Law.

I like to meet all our new podcasters, but since we are now producing about 190 different shows, I don't get to meet everybody. However, I had the privilege of interviewing the hosts of our brand new podcast, Headrush Podcast. The two hosts, Paul Frase and Corey Berry, join me in the studio today.
