I gave 300 speeches a year for six straight years in addition to my TV job back in the early 2000s. I got to be a decent speaker, but I can't hold a candle to my next guest, Keenan Williams. He's an author, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and my friend.

I have to admit, I'm old school. I still carry around the business card. But more often these days, when I give somebody a business card, they say, "Here, let me tap your phone." Game-changing technology like the one my next guest created is all over the place. Derrick Stewart, the Co-Founder of Clear Card, is in the studio.

I lived in Minnesota for four years, so you would think I would be used to the cold. But no, I came down to Texas and I got used to the 100 degrees in the summer and mid-winter. Two people who know a lot about extreme cold are with me right now, Josh Brown and Natalie Sherman with Cryo Nation.

Study after study has shown that the role of a father inside a home is fundamental for shaping the next generation. Two men who know much about that are Bill Dotson with Abiding Fathers and David Rodriguez with Dallas Real Estate Ministries.

My father and brother are ministers, so I'm drawn to people who live out their faith and wear it on their sleeve. My next guest, Frank Snell with Jabez Trust, does exactly that.

I will date myself, but I remember my first video game. It was called Pong, and the animation was very crude. You saw two paddles and a ball going back and forth. Fast forward, the video games are now mind-blowing. The animation makes you feel like you're really in the game. Paul Ehmer, the president of gForce Animation, knows a lot about that.

It's a common question, "What would you say to your younger self?" I have the answer to that because Jim Keyes, a legendary businessman, has written a book and this is what he would say to a 17-year-old Jim Keyes. It's called Education is Freedom.

I'm a proud member of EO Dallas. That's Entrepreneur's Organization, it's a global organization of entrepreneurs. When I first joined a decade ago, I kept hearing you have to meet an EOS implementer, and I have one on the show today. Clarence Robinson is a speaker, trainer, and EOS implementer.

She spent 22 years serving our country in the US Air Force, and she almost lost her life, but she turned her pain into purpose. She inspires others through her award-winning author and speaker career. Valessa L. Taylor, award-winning author, speaker, and coach joins us in the studio today.

It has been a tough year to be a realtor. A few years ago, you could just show up, fog a mirror, and you could sell a home. But the strong survive. And if there is something good that comes from a housing recession, it's that you find out who's the real deal. I'm sitting next to the real deal, Johnie Palmer with Palmer Premier Group powered by Monument Realty.
