The Jeff Crilley Show

I'm a proud Catholic, and I suppose you already know how I feel about abortion. Every life is precious, and someone who shares that is my next guest. Jennifer Shelton is the CEO of Real Options.

This show will be very personal to so many of you. Alzheimer's affects so many families these days. Millions and millions of families in America right now are dealing with a loved one who has Alzheimer's, or at least the early stages of dementia. Somone who knows about this very well is Rober Pace, the author of the fantastic book " I Understand... You Forgot To Say Goodbye".

These days, everyone has a camera on their cell phone, but that doesn't make us professional photographers. And sometimes, you need to bring in the expert when it matters. That's why we have Chris Baylor in the studio. He is a commercial portrait and sports photographer.

There are so many barbecue places in Dallas-Fort Worth that it's hard to stand out and make a name for yourself. But my next guests are a husband-and-wife team behind Off the Bone Barbeque, and they are really making a lot of noise in a very crowded industry. Dwight and Rose Harvey join me in the studio.

I remember as a child watching shows like The Jetsons or Lost in Space, and we saw robots, and it seemed so futuristic. And guess what? The future is now! We are living in the future. Elad Inbar is the CEO of the largest robotics company in the country and is in the studio.

The most fascinating thing about wine is that every country is so proud of its wine. If you talk to someone from France, French wines are the best. Somebody from Germany will tell you that German wines are the best. If you speak to somebody from the US, they might say California. But I am talking to a true connoisseur today. He is one of the nation's leading experts on Italian wines. Leonardo Pisa...

When you think about franchises, people often say McDonald's, right? Well, not all franchises are in the food space. They get all the attention on the national news, but there are some very fast-growing franchises, and the owner of the fastest-growing art brand in the country is in the studio right now. Maya Ratcliff is the owner and founder of Hawaii Fluid Art.

We live in a world of apps. There are literally billions of apps out there. But how do you separate yourself from other people? You do that by solving a problem that just about everybody has. And that problem is how do you organize your life? In the studio right now is Brandon Ward, CEO of Keysha AI, who has put everything together for us.

I'm a baby boomer, so my generation always says, well, that's how it's always been done. I love Gen Z and millennials because they look at something and say, why would you do it that way? When looking for a job, you have all these sites, but that industry definitely needed some disruption. James Terry, the Chief of Staff for Indeed Flex US, is in the studio.

Tell me if this story sounds familiar: A student graduates from college with a degree in 18th-century literature, and what will they do with that degree? If I had a young person in my life right now, I would say Stem. It's got to be computers, graphics, AI, and robotics because that's the future. Somebody who knows a lot about that and believes the same way I do is my next guest, Allison Tremblay,...

Dallas Fort Worth is one of the most affluent communities in the whole nation. People don't think about food deserts here, about the lack of fresh produce and available food. One person who certainly does is my next guest, Chonnie Richey, the founder of Independence Gardens.

It's sad that so many Americans work their whole lives. They get to be 65 or 70, and they simply don't have enough money to retire. In fact, some will retire, but then two or three years later, they are back in the workforce because they've got to pay bills. Daniel Paschke, with Victory Financial Group, knows something about that.

There's an old saying in the book world called the one-day novel. I will write a novel one day, and that day never comes. Then, you wake up, you're retired, and you're saying, why did I never get around to writing that book? Someone who will change your thoughts on that is my next guest, Darren Palmer, with Self Publish -N- 30 Days.

As you saw in that intro, I spent a lifetime in TV news, 25 years. I got to the top of the little mountain I was climbing at TV news, looked around, and wondered if that was all there was. So, I had the nerve to quit TV news, walk away from the only thing I knew in 2008, and start this company. My legacy is helping other people tell their stories. One story we will tell right now is Tante Williams...

I learned just a few minutes before the show that only 8% of people who are having a cardiac event survive. That is just incredible to me. Joining us right now are Greg and Julie Coon with Cardiac Crusade.

There's an old saying that says you have to circulate to percolate, and I know so many people who do their networking on their computers. They like to brag that they have 10,000 followers and connections on LinkedIn. But if you ask them, how many of them do you actually know? How many do you have a relationship with? They give you a very confused look. Julie Brown is a networking coach, keynote sp...

We all live in a Ken and Barbie world. When you're a little girl, you're playing with these perfect dolls, beginning self-discovery, and having a conversation with yourself. Sometimes, even starting at age three or four, you're already telling yourself a negative story. Somebody who's trying to change the conversation around beauty inside and out is my next guest, Neetu Rishi, the CEO & Founde...

For many years, our small backyard was regular grass. Then, a couple of years ago, my wife convinced us to go with artificial turf, and we saved thousands of dollars instead of paying a guy to mow. I'm a big fan; it's the future. A guy who knows that very well is Nick Ogilvie with Luxe Blades.

I'm sure you've seen the flooding on the news in Brazil—the worst in recorded history. But for many of us, we don't know people from Brazil. We see that as somebody else's problem. Alda Boiani is in the studio right now, and that subject is extremely close to home for her. She owns 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, and they are holding an event to help those in need in Brazil.

You would all agree that Big Pharma is so powerful right now in the US that so much of Western medicine is training doctors to pull out a prescription pad and write a prescription for a pill. And not every ailment can be cured with a pill. My next guest knows that very well because he was a patient and then took on a practice. Kalpesh Patel with On Point Acupuncture & Wellness is in the studio...

When most people think about TV, video production, or film, they think about Hollywood. But more and more companies are doing film and video work in Dallas. Why is that the case? My next guest is going to explain. Ian Loomer is the President of the Dallas Producers Association.

I can't think of a more crowded market in North Texas than financial services. I don't know if there are more financial services firms or Starbucks. There's one on every street corner. It takes some courageous people and people of faith to stand out in a crowded market. That describes my next guests, Guy Charles and Taylor Manning, with Teleios Financial.

I wrote my book in 2002, and shortly after that, I met my next guest. He is a digital marketing genius. We've maintained our friendship for some two decades now. Mark Crowson, with Protueri, is in the studio today.

A couple of months ago, I had the honor of serving on a panel at UTD. I was just so struck with the programming and how they were making outreaches into the community that I had to have the Director of the institute on my show. Carol Marcus-Rehtmeyer is in the studio, and she is with the UT Dallas Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

I don't know about you, but it's unbelievable that some of these amazing international superstars like Aretha Franklin can pass, but their affairs are not in order. Then, the family begins a court fight that can last for years. Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Ryan Peabody, with the Peabody Law Firm.
