The Jeff Crilley Show

There's truly nothing in the United States that compares to my next guest. It's Dr. Oz meets Dr. Phil. He is a very popular daily staple of British and UK television. His name is Dr. Tharaka Gunarathne, but we are going to call him Dr. T.

My next guest was labeled slow and a dreamer. A person who would never succeed in school. He didn't realize he had dyslexia until he was 40 years old. Paul Daniels Jr., with Peripheral Thinkers, is in the studio to discuss his journey!

This is an important show because it's something all families should discuss. But unfortunately, people don't like to talk about death. They don't want to talk about estate planning, and it's such a necessary conversation. Someone who knows that very well is my next guest, Kayla Smith Wood, with Allen Texas Attorneys.

If you've been alive for any length of time, you've been wronged by someone. But I'm a fan of the famous quote, "Bitterness is a poison you drink, hoping to hurt the other person." Someone who knows that very well is my next guest, Maureen Brundage, author and songwriter.

I have always been fascinated with the media, branding, and marketing. I now own a marketing firm. I met my next guest a few months ago and want to share her journey with you. Lori McNeil, with Lori McNeil International, is in the studio!

Have you ever been to an event where the mood is mellow, somebody comes in, and everything changes? That would describe my next guest. She calls herself a joy bomb. Ruthy Sonntag is in the studio today, and she's a mindset coach.

I've often said they do not make Hollywood movies about people born rich, had no adversity, and died rich. Nobody would see that film. It's a horrible film. They do shows about Rocky, Million Dollar Baby, and overcoming adversity. That's the eternal struggle. It's called being human. My next guest will talk about why we should look forward to the trials in our lives. Jackie Dighans is an author, s...

I hang out around many very prominent business owners, and I would say easily one out of three of them have an executive coach helping them with their blind spots. Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Eric Kebschull, with EK Coaching.

Some of the greatest fortunes on the planet have been made through real estate investing. But, if you're like me, you're nervous. You've heard horror stories about somebody who turned a flip into a flop. That's when you turn to my next guest, Eric Mattingly, the president of DMI Holdings.

All of us are searching for meaning in life, and for 25 years of my life, I found meaning in television news. Now, I have found a new purpose, leading a public relations firm and a podcast network for the last 15 years. I love the idea of giving people a chance to tell their own stories. My next guest is Jeff Holler, who helps people find their meaning through business.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, there is a law firm on every corner. So, how do you stand out in a very crowded field? My next guests know that very well because they're making a name for themselves. Elise Mimms and Tiara Thomas with Thomas and Mimms, LLC.

We all love to shop. Who doesn't, right? But what if you knew your money was going to a good cause? That would be a brilliant non-profit. Somebody who realized that a couple of years ago is my next guest. Jeannie Barsam is the founder and CEO of Gifting Brands.

Many of you will recognize this book, which became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling book 15 years ago. It started a movement that continues to build momentum year after year. To talk about Conscious Capitalism is Tim Dickey, a product development and business agility coach.

Everybody's seen the headlines that the pandemic affected a number of young people. It's almost like a lost year, and now, when you look back at test scores, they continue to tick down. Part of that is the pandemic. Part of that is that the education system isn't designed to teach to individual students. It's a one-size-fits-all solution. To talk about that today is William C. Campbell III, the fo...

Life is never the way you planned it. There's an old saying that God laughs at our plans. We make these plans, and then God chuckles and says that's not how it will be. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm not in the driver's seat, and ultimately, we will go wherever God wants us to go. My next guest knows that very well. Jason Nemes, author and speaker, is in the studio to tell us his stor...

We all know that behind every top-performing athlete on the planet is an equally brilliant coach. So, why don't the greatest CEOs on the planet also have a coach? Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest. Jim Russo is with the Boardroom Academy.

In the last few years, our television network has been growing by leaps and bounds. So, I'm always getting new shows, and I don't get a chance to meet every one of the hosts. One day, I was walking down the hallways here at Real News and saw a graphic on the screen. It said, From Beer to the Bible, and I turned to Josh, our head of operations, and asked, "What's that?" Since then, Ervin Lee and I...

All families are touched by cancer in some form or fashion, whether it's skin cancer or something much more deadly. The young man who's on my show next knows this very well because he lost his sister to cancer. Now, he has come up with a game changer regarding early detection. Sumit Rai is the founder of Cancer Check Labs.

If you talk to anybody in the world of addiction recovery, you'll discover that in the last few years, the numbers have skyrocketed. I attribute it to COVID-19. So many people stay home and have a glass of wine or two during the day because there is nothing else to do. Now, it's rearing its ugly head in the form of addiction. My next guests, Deanna Richardson and Tami Guttman with Rising Star Reco...

If you have seasonal allergies, I don't need to tell you it's been a brutal allergy season. I've felt a little stuffed up here for about a week. I go out to look at my car, and it's got a dusting of yellow pollen all over it, so it's no wonder. Two people fighting a war against seasonal allergies are in the studio now. David Brent Noel and Kris Klein are with Pollen Sense.

A doctor and a lawyer walk into a bar. Then there's a third person who happens to be an ex-CIA analyst. Who has the coolest story? I want to be my next guest, David McCloskey, an author, speaker, and ex-CIA analyst.

There's an old expression. There are three types of people in the world: the folks who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, "What just happened?" My next guest is somebody who makes it happen. He is a serial entrepreneur and my new friend. Michael Nadeau is the Founder and CEO of Cnect.

If you watch the show for any length of time, you know I love entrepreneurs and ideas that come to fruition. Anybody can draw something on a table napkin, but to turn it into a real company takes a lot of vision, persistence, and determination. Two guys who know that journey well are in the studio today. Jerry Joyner and Antonio Swad with Buzz Brands.

I'm not often as inspired as I am for my next guest. She has the determination and the willpower of an Olympic athlete. I think if she decided to train for the Olympics right now, she would make the team in any sport. Krystalore Crews with Crews Beyond Limits is in the studio.

My next guest is someone I've known for twenty-plus years. Dr. Ross Stewart is in the studio. He's the guy I interviewed when I was at Channel 4 about all things mental health. He was on the show a few months ago, but he texted me and said he needed to come back to tell people about the power of ketamine therapy.
