The Jeff Crilley Show

The Yellow Rose Gala has been a Texas favorite for decades, and it’s hard to believe the event is celebrating 40 amazing years. We’re excited to have the three inspiring co-chairs behind this year’s gala in the studio — Sheree J. Wilson, Fay Sheehan, and CeCe Hays.

I’m always looking for great story ideas for my show, and a good friend recently said, “You’ve got to do a segment on Chase’s Place.”  So today, I brought in the perfect person to help tell that story. Julie Sparks is in the studio. She’s a mom and a dedicated volunteer with Chase’s Place, and she’s here to share why this organization means so much to families in our community.

Business schools exist in nearly every major city—but very few ever talk about spirituality. That’s exactly why I invited my next guest to the show. Ajarn Shaman Shu is in the studio, and he’s the founder of Buddha Business School, where leadership, purpose, and spiritual principles come together in a powerful way.

As we start a new year, many of us set wellness intentions—only to realize by late January that we’ve already abandoned the gym. That’s exactly why my next guest is here. Joining me in the studio is Katrina McGowan, president of Advanced Regeneration.

Gardening is big business in America, with millions of gardens — and gardeners — across the country. And let’s be honest, plenty of them need a little guidance. From setting up the perfect garden to accidentally discovering every possible way to kill a plant, we’ve all been there. That’s why I’m excited to welcome my next guest: Donna Letier, CEO and founder of Gardenuity, joining us in the studio...

I have such admiration for people who turn their pain into purpose—who refuse to live as victims and instead rise as victors. That’s exactly the kind of woman my next guest is. Analee Vinyard joins us in the studio today, the author of the bestselling book A Legacy of Love.

I live in Collin County, and every year my wife and I get our property tax bill and pay it just like we’re supposed to. But I was shocked to learn that roughly 40–60% of homeowners are being over-assessed. Joining us today to break this down is Michael Reeves, founder of the Andy App

There’s an old saying: the two most important days in a person’s life are the day you’re born and the day you discover why. JoDee Neil embodies that truth. She’s a new friend of mine — a lawyer, a survivor, and the author of Outcry Witness.

Joining me in the studio today is Roxanne Carne — a personal wardrobe stylist and image consultant who helps professionals refine their style, elevate their image, and feel confident in how they present themselves.

DFW is one of the most philanthropic communities in the country, home to countless impactful non-profits. Today in the studio, we’re joined by the founder of Chat N Chew, Marvee McLendon, along with longtime friend and dedicated volunteer, Caralee Gurney.

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know I’m all about grit and resilience. It’s not about how many times you get knocked down—it’s about how many times you get back up. That perfectly describes my next guest. Siri Mabo is in the studio today. She’s the author of the bestselling book Conceived, and though she’s still young, she’s already overcome more challenges than most.

I love January because everyone is focused on becoming better—whether that's losing weight or hitting financial goals. But for leaders across America, it’s about leveling up their leadership. And sometimes that means bringing in a coach. My next guest, Betsy Allen Manning, does exactly that. She’s the owner and CEO of Destination Workplace, and she’s in the studio today.

When you look at clothing trends, they go in and out of fashion. I think looking sharp, showing up to a room, and having people say, "Who is that person?" because that person is showing up as a sharp-dressed man, as the song would say, is an important part of personal branding. Keith Warshawsky is in the studio. He is the CEO and founder of Premier Clothiers.

We lived through COVID, but we’re living through another silent pandemic: addiction. Day drinking, self-medicating, and coping turned into dependency for millions. National expert Shane Leonard (CEO of Into Action Recovery Centers) joins us to talk about it.

I can’t think of a tougher business than being a Las Vegas headliner. Think about it—you're competing with legends like Wayne Newton and Siegfried & Roy, all while trying to carve out your own space. My next guest, Jeff Civillico is in the studio—Hall of Fame speaker, national Las Vegas headliner, and philanthropist.

What can a plumber teach us about running a great business? Brent Garrett is in the studio with us today. He’s the author of 30 Days to a Better Business and the leader behind Sirius Plumbing and Air Conditioning.

A new year brings fresh goals, fresh hope, and fresh resolutions—but let’s be honest, most don’t make it past January. Real change takes more than willpower. That’s why I invited someone I trust deeply, my good friend Michelle Halverson. She’s an author, speaker, strategist, and publisher who helps people create real breakthroughs and move forward with purpose.

I’m a proud member of EO Dallas—Entrepreneurs’ Organization, a global network of business leaders—and I love spotlighting our members and sponsors whenever I can. Joining me in the studio is Blake Winters with EOS Worldwide, a new sponsor of EO Dallas.

In the life of every company, there comes a moment when growth stalls and you hit a plateau. The real question is: what do you do next? The smartest organizations bring in someone who knows how to break through. Joining me in the studio is a returning guest, international speaker, trainer, consultant, author—and my friend—Boaz Rauchwerger.

Women’s volleyball is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting sports in America right now, gaining momentum at every level. Joining me in the studio is Grady Raskin, CEO of the Dallas Pulse, to talk about why the sport is exploding and what’s next for the team.

We’re often told that the greatest prisons aren’t made of bars, but of beliefs, habits, and circumstances. Some are trapped by debt. Others by addiction. My next guest understands this deeply.

Her journey is one of resilience and unwavering faith. Keycha V. Dorsey joins us in the studio to share her story as a filmmaker, writer, director, and producer who turns lived experience into powerful storytelling.

My next guest is a returning favorite. She joined us a few years ago and is the author of Socially Savvy—a book that’s arguably even more relevant today than when it was written. Back then, the conversation centered around millennials. Today, it’s Gen Z—and the need for strong social skills and modern etiquette has never been greater. She’s a protocol expert, author, speaker, and friend of the sho...
