We are coming up on National Business Etiquette Week, and I don't think this could be any more timely with so many young people graduating college. It is a challenge to land a job these days, and many graduates end up just sitting at home, waiting for the phone to ring. Once they land that job, they don't have the soft skills to be a rock star in their industry.

Part of that is my generation—we gave our kids everything because we didn’t want them to have any obstacles. So, we were snowplow parents or helicopter parents, and we just kind of hovered over our kids.

That's why I invited Julie Jones back on the show. She's with Today’s Professionals Consulting and Development.

When most of us think about rugby, we tend to think of the UK, Australia, and other countries where the sport is hugely celebrated. But we have an Olympic team right here in the U.S.—and today, I have the privilege of welcoming a three-time Olympian into the studio. The great Perry Baker is here with us—a true rugby legend.

When I think about pioneers and legends across industries, names like Ebby Halliday and Mary Kay come to mind. And right alongside them, I think of Martha Tiller. She truly paved the way for professionals in my field—public relations. The great Martha Tiller, a true PR legend, is in the studio today.

If you’ve watched this show at any point, you know I love to feature entrepreneurs—people who are rising to the top of their industry. Anyone who’s achieved success in any field isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. That perfectly describes my next guest, Randy Gordon. He’s the managing partner of the DFW offices of Duane Morris.

I've had the chance to interview some amazing people during my 25 year news career, and one of my favorite interviews is with Ebby Halliday, legendary realtor and really a pioneer in Dallas when it comes to real estate. Joining me in studio is Betsy Cameron. She's the president of the Ebby Halliday Companies.

I have been in love with my wife for the better part of two and a half decades, and I can't even imagine life without her. That's why this segment is emotional for me, because you're going to meet the author of this bestselling book, The Widow Chose Red. She lost her husband a few years ago, and she chronicled the journey in this book. Rachel Kerr Schneider is in the studio - she's with Spirited Prosperity.

Every once in a while, you meet someone special who lights up the room the moment they walk in. I just met her—my sister from another mister. Dr. Dunia Korous is in the studio, representing Millennium Smiles.

When I'm trying to describe Dallas to somebody who has never been to Dallas, I always say three things you need to know: eating, shopping, and philanthropy. Philanthropy really is core to who Dallas is. It's probably one of the most philanthropic cities I've ever had the pleasure of living in. In the studio today is a legend in philanthropy - Bob Hopkins, he's the author of Philanthropy Understood.

You know, we Texans take a lot of pride in who we are. Everything’s bigger and better here in Texas—and that includes our spirits. That’s why I’ve invited Jay Tulimieri to the studio. He’s the CEO and owner of TAH Distilling Company. 

Many nonprofits come and go in Dallas — we see it all the time. But then there are organizations like the one represented by my next guest, which have stood the test of time. For over 60 years, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas have been making an impact in our community. Joining me in the studio is Debra Taylor, the interim CEO and president.
