The Jeff Crilley Show

Jeff Crilley is a former news reporter, who spent more than 25 years in newsrooms across the country. He’s an Emmy Award winning journalist, who decided to make the jump from news in 2008, when he founded his own PR Firm, Real News Public Relations. Today, the firm has more than 100 clients, and Jeff continues to tell the stories of interesting people he meets along the way. These are those stories.

Harold Heard, CEO of Stone ARX| The Jeff Crilley Show

If you think about real estate transactions in this country, even in a perfect world, you're looking at a six-month to 18-month process. It's not efficient, but it's the way it's always been done. However, every once in a while, somebody revolutionizes an industry. For example, Hotels.com was disrupted by Airbnb, and taxi cabs were disrupted by Uber. Harold Heard, CEO of Stone ARX, has had to disrupt the way real estate transactions are being done, and he's in the studio today.

Elijah De La Garza, Anna Venko, & Lyza Faye, Runway 817 | The Jeff Crilley Show

Those of you who know me know I married up. The great Victoria Snee, head of marketing for Highland Park Village, is a fashionista. She always is the emcee of these fabulous galas, and I come along as her plus one. I probably couldn't tell you a Gucci from a Prada to be honest with you, but I admire fashion. I think Dallas has become a Mecca for fashion, and now Fort Worth is coming along in blazing speed thanks to the three people in my studio right now: Anna Venko, Elijah De La Garza, and Lyza Faye. They're the three driving forces behind Runway 817.

Tony Machi & Jermichael Finley, ElevaTE U | The Jeff Crilley Show

When I think about youth sports, I think about the discipline, the stick-to-it-iveness, and the overcoming adversity that a child learns. Of course, they're getting in shape and exercising, but it's the off the field stuff that matters because many of them will not go on to an athletic career. They have to learn the discipline that it takes to be a champion in life, and two people are in the studio right now who share that belief: Tony Machi and Jermichael Finley.

Radu Jon, The Violin Guy | The Jeff Crilley Show

I love how one artist can totally transform an event—whether it’s a convention, conference, or wedding. Sometimes all it takes is one incredible DJ or performer to lift the energy of the entire crowd. That’s exactly who my next guest is. Radu Jon, The Violin Guy, is back in the studio!

Dr. Gavin Wolff, Chiropractor at Diamond Health | The Jeff Crilley Show

I’ve always admired people in the field of chiropractic medicine because it’s different from traditional medicine. It’s not like the MDs you typically see—they focus more on the mind, body, and spirit. I know far too many physicians who are quick to write a prescription. But my next guest got into this field because he truly cares about people. Dr. Gavin Wolff is in the studio. He’s a chiropractor with Diamond Health.

Erin Botsford, CFP, Founder of The Advisor Authority™ | The Jeff Crilley Show

I think most of us are like this: we’re climbing some little hill or mountain. We get to the very top, look around, and say, 'Is this all there is?' That perfectly describes my next guest. She’s been wildly successful in financial services—Erin Botsford is in the studio. She’s the founder of The Advisor Authority™.

Mark Hess and Sally Savino, Texas Jazz Cats | The Jeff Crilley Show

Heather Lisle, Founder of The Leadership Lab | The Jeff Crilley Show

I would submit to you that we have a leadership crisis in this country, in corporate America. Study after study shows that people don't quit companies - they quit bad bosses. To talk about that today is Heather Lisle, founder of The Leadership Lab.

Arnulfo “Trey” Sánchez III, Owner & Pitmaster Vaqueros Texas BBQ | The Jeff Crilley Show

Sometimes when I'm out with friends at a dinner party, I'll play a game. I'll say, "If God whispered in your ear and said, 'You've got one last meal on this planet, and then I'm taking you home,' where would you go? What would you eat?"My answer has always been barbecue. And I have a feeling my next guest might just convince me that his location is where I'd want to have that final meal. Trey Sanchez is in the studio—he's the owner and pitmaster of Vaqueros Texas BBQ.

Alan Topchik, Host of the Angry Alan Show | The Jeff Crilley Show

I remember in the late 90's at Fox Four, I did a very popular recurring segment called Drives Me Crazy. It was all about things that made you lose your mind. For example, waiting too long in a Starbucks or the cop that pulls you over for going just three miles over the speed limit. We would ask viewers to submit things that drive them crazy. Then, we'd follow up. It was a wildly popular segment. So, my next guest will explore all of that in a brand new podcast, launching soon on this network. Alan Topchik is in the studio; he's the host of The Angry Alan Show.

Susan Semmelmann, Semmelmann Interiors | The Jeff Crilley Show

I've always been fascinated with people who have the excellence gene, and I think the late, great Martin Luther King, Jr., said, "If you are a street sweeper, be the best street sweeper on the planet so that all the angels in heaven bow down and say, 'There goes a great street sweeper.'" My next guest is a rock star in the world of interior design. Susan Semmelmann is in the studio.

DeeAnne Meece, Artistic Director of Spectacular Follies | The Jeff Crilley Show

Very early on in my PR career, I got asked to do public relations for the Spectacular Follies, and I didn't know what to expect. However, I was blown away at the talent of these amazing people, and that's why when a couple of friends came to me and said, "You absolutely have to have the artistic director for the Spectacular Follies on your show", I said, "I can't wait!" DeeAnne Meece joins me in studio right now.

Jennifer Clark, Chris Clark, and Richard Chamberlain, Côtes du Coeur Gala | The Jeff Crilley Show

I think DFW is home to all kinds of galas. It seems like every single weekend there is another spectacular gala, but one that I'm particularly passionate about is Côtes du Coeur. They've been doing this for decades, and three of the driving forces behind this year's event are in the studio. Chris and Jennifer Clark are co-chairs this year, and then we have the great Richard Chamberlain, who is a legendary restaurateur. All three of them have a personal reason for getting behind this.

Dan LaBroad, President and CEO of Ovation Health and Life Services, Inc. | The Jeff Crilley Show

If you're a boss, listen up because I own this company, and I am frustrated by healthcare in general. It's not a passion for me, and so when it comes in, there are all these different plans that don't make sense to me. So to demystify all of this, my good friend Dan LaBroad is in the studio. He's the president and CEO of Ovation Health and Life Services.

Karen Green, Founder of Haven of Love | The Jeff Crilley Show

I love people with tenacity and stick-to-itiveness. You might call it old-fashioned grit. All of us have pain in life, but some of us wallow in the pain while others turn pain into purpose. That perfectly describes my next guest. Karen Green is in the studio. She's the founder of The Haven of Love.
