The Jeff Crilley Show

So we're taping this in January, and unfortunately, January and February are the two highest months for filing for divorce. If you think about it, a lot of families that are struggling during the holidays, they're just kind of limping through the holidays. And then unfortunately, they kind of rush into divorce court in January and February, and that is devastating, especially when children are inv...

I am so happily married to my soulmate, who has been married 24 years. I can't even imagine what it would be like to return to the dating scene, but many people over 40 are back out there again. And so what do you do? Do you swipe right? Do you go to a singles bar? If you're wise, consult my friend Kimmy Seltzer, a dating and relationship expert.

I suggest that Hollywood has been playing it safe for way too long. They won't even invest in a film or produce a movie that they can't already see the proceeds. And so we're seeing so many action figures turned into movies. Or it was a sitcom from the 70s that became a film. That's why original content is coming from independent filmmakers. And that's why I'm proud to have The Smiley Family in th...

Think about a bank that's been around since 1930. I bet you can't name too many. However, a family-owned bank is famous in Arkansas. They just moved to Dallas, and I have the privilege of interviewing JJ Gomez, the regional president of Chambers Bank Texas.

I love the way God works. We're cruising down the road, and suddenly, there's a detour. You can look at the detour as a negative, or you can say, okay, God, What do you have in store for me? And that describes my next guest, Dr. Toni Engram, owner of Flourish Dental.

I run into small to mid-sized business owners all the time who have a website, but they complain it's not working. I'm not getting leads from it, which could be a function of how you set up the website. Does Google even see you? There's a whole litany of things besides having pretty pictures, images, and graphics on your website. To talk about that today, a national expert and a good friend, Ryan...

If you're an entrepreneur or someone who's climbing the corporate ladder and you want to have success, something you have to have is swagger. Confidence. I can't think of anyone more confident and assured in her feminine energy than my next guest. Michelle Robinson-Halverson is in the studio. She's the president of SHINE Like a B.O.S.S.

I own a marketing company, and I feel pretty good that I know a lot of stuff, but I can learn so much from my next guest because he's a plumber who has become one of the top trade influencers on YouTube and other platforms. Welcome to the studio, Roger Wakefield, The Expert Plumber.

I like to call my company a Thank God It's Monday Workplace. It's a very happy company. One of the favorite sounds I hear all day is employees gathering together, laughing over lunch hour, and it's music to my ears. It hasn't always been that way. In my 16 years, there have been times when the company was in a funk, and it was a mix of problems. I can't think of a better person to come to my show...

I think we all get stuck in a rut. We're doing the same thing. And there's that old saying, if you keep doing what you've always done, you will only get what you've already done. And that's when you sometimes bring in a high performance coach like my next guest, Rob Zweerman.

I have seen this story again and again in my career. You have a growing company, and they plateau and don't know what to do. And it's hard to, you know, coach yourself. So sometimes you have to bring in an outside pair of eyes that can look under the hood and see what's wrong with that car. That's when you bring in my next guest, Sean Schoenmakers, a certified business coach with ActionCOACH.

I never served our country in the military. I have so much respect for the men and women who have. And many of them come back out of combat and deal with invisible wounds. To talk about that right now is Judge John Roach, Presiding Judge of the North Texas Veterans Court.

I don't know about you, but I think we all tell ourselves lies. Isn't that the truth? We look in the mirror, see imperfections, and tell ourselves a story about ourselves. Or somebody says something unkind, and we choose to believe it. My next guest is on a mission to help us all discover our god given identity. Carla Hanes is in the studio.

If we pull up a Forbes list of the wealthiest Americans, I would wager that every family in the Fortune 100 has real estate in their portfolio. It's not just the stock market. Why? Because they're not making more land. It's finite. My next guest will educate us on the do's and don'ts of investing in real estate. Ahsan Daredia, a partner at SLX, is here in the studio.

If there's anything good that came from the pandemic, and there's not much good that came from the pandemic, it's that there's a new focus on mental health. And I suggest that where we have a mental health pandemic going on right now, and it's all undiagnosed. You can't just shut down the world. To talk about mental health and remove all stigmas are the hosts of the Mental Perk podcast, Karla Hutc...

The lifeblood of any company is capital. If you're not raising capital or paying your bills, you go out of business. We know that nine out of ten small businesses will fail within the first five years. And so much of that has to do with money flow. David Lopez, the CEO of Summa, is in the studio today to discuss that.

I am so privileged to call DFW my home. I remember when I moved to Dallas in 1992 to take a job at Fox 4. We were market number 8, and now we are market number 4. There are no bodies of water to keep us in. We can keep going until we are the third-largest market. Chris Wallace, the CEO of the North Texas Commission, is a significant influencer here in Dallas and joins us in the studio.

Most people are drifting through life, let's be honest. Unless you wake up every morning having goals that you're setting, most of us are just drifting, and sometimes you can drift through your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and now you're in your 60s, and you're like, what happened to my life? Somebody who's going to help us all get refocused is my next guest, Mia Rene. She is the host of the Faith and Busi...

If you want to build muscle, you go to the gym and you actually have to experience pain. So many people wake up and could be going to the gym, but they'd be more comfortable lying down and getting another 15 minutes of sleep. So, to become unstuck, you actually have to go through some adversity. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Travis Ala, known as Mr. Unstuck.

I am on the tail end of the baby boomers, and my generation likes to say that's how it's always been done. I love Gen Z and Millennials because they look at stale industries, like the taxicab industry, and then come up with something like Uber. My next guest is doing the same thing in the car and truck market, Abdul Rehman is with Posh.

I think we all come to this part in our life where we climb this little hill or mountain, and then we look around and say, is that all there is? And that certainly happened to me. I was at the height of TV news and the fourth-largest TV market, and then walked away from it to start this company in my home. And it was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Somebody who's on a journey right...

I have to confess, I was kind of late to the game. The first time I heard about pickleball was a few years ago when our country club in Plano started pickleball lessons and pickleball courts. And I kept thinking, what is this? It looks like tennis, but it's not. A guy who was pickleball before pickleball was cool is in the studio right now. Dan Jenkins is the owner of Pickleball Kingdom North Texa...

When I think about real estate, I think about the ebbs and flows. Sometimes it's a hot market and anyone can sell a home, and then it's a cool market and that's when it sorts out the true realtors from the people who just came in to try and make a fast buck. So when I think about power couples, I think about the next couple that is here in the studio. Tom Lamphere and Jan Richey with The Jan Riche...

We all love going to concerts or sporting events but want to feel safe. That's probably the number one concern when you go to any event and just want to have fun with your family. I'm so honored today to have Mark Herrera in the studio, and Trevor Mitchell is joining us remotely. Both are with the International Association of Venue Managers.

If you think of every movie you've ever watched for your whole life or Super Bowl commercials, there's always an entertainment lawyer behind the scenes making sure that all the i's are dotted and t's crossed. Natalie LeVeck, a very successful entertainment attorney, is in the studio.
