Well, as you just saw, I was a TV reporter for 25 years, and I'm pretty proud of my television career. I did some cool things. I won some Emmy Awards. I helped free an innocent man from prison. But I don't even deserve to be sitting next to this next guest. Ayman Hatkwa, Owner of Yaba Java Cafe, has the claim to fame that he was on the team that helped capture Saddam Hussein.

Well, I can't think of a better gift that we can give those hard working men and women who served our country in our military than to give them a job opportunity and a career path. Somebody who knows something about that, Jack Smith, he's the CEO of Fortuna BMC.

When I was growing up in the 70s, I was a big Batman fan. I've got to confess, I think I might be becoming a Superman fan because of my next guest, Dr. Mike Thielen.

I'm a proud sponsor of Success North Dallas, a networking organization that's been around for decades here in Dallas. And I was absolutely blown away by this morning's speaker, Bill Walsh, he's America's Small Business Expert.

I don't know about you, but there are days I wake up and I'm feeling like I can just kill it. I'm on top of the world. And there are other days where self-doubt creeps in. As we speak right now, Zeke Elliott is being released from the Cowboys. Think about that. Even a guy who's been at the top of his game probably has self-doubt right now. He could use a dose of our next speaker and guest, Meshell Baker. She's the Chief Confidence Igniter.

I have to admit, I'm a dummy when it comes to wine. My wife Victoria gave me a trip to Napa for my 50th birthday and I sipped a lot of wine, enjoyed a lot of wine, can't remember anything from the experience. Maybe it's because I had too much to drink, but who knows? To talk about that today, Tony Pecoraro, he is a wine connoisseur and he is the Wine Director at Las Colinas and Gleneagles Country Clubs and a good friend.

Unfortunately, in many workplaces, the old boy's club still exists. And to shatter that and to break through that glass ceiling, many women need to lift as they climb. Somebody who knows something about that, Krista Medlock, she is a Brand Strategist, Speaker and Business Consultant and now my friend.

Well, I'm going to put a disclaimer up at the top of this show. If the fire alarms go off during this broadcast, it's because there's just too much charisma in the studio. Karen "KJ" Johnson, the Executive Director at Dress for Success Dallas is in the house.

Well, they don't teach doctors in medical school how to run a business. Therefore, many of their practices are inefficient. There's all kinds of redundancies and and sometimes it can impact patient health. To talk about that today, Tanya Stinson, she's with Leaning Towards Change, LLC.

Well, because of inflation, it's tough times for a lot of people in our community. It's wonderful when nonprofits can step up and fill a void that's out there. Somebody who knows something about that, Jennifer Leney, she's with 6 Stones.
