We've heard a lot over the past few years about the mental health crisis going on with our nation's veterans and first responders, and then Covid happened, which I think just accelerated everything. To talk about that crisis today is Eric Ranks. He heads up 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee.

Dallas-Fort Worth has become known as a mecca for fine art thanks to families like the Bass family and the Nash family. How about fine art in your home? That's kind of a tricky game to navigate, but a guy who will be our tour guide today is David Dike. He's been in this industry since 1983.

This show is all about branding, and it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart because we're a branding and marketing company, podcast network, and public relations firm. Many people mistake a logo for a brand. They see the Apple logo or Nike logo, but that's not a brand. Your personal brand can sometimes transcend the company brand. To talk about that today is the great Robert Wall.

I think a lot about the late, great Norman Rockwell. He was a famous American artist who really captured what the American family was supposed to look like, all gathered at Thanksgiving with no quarrels. It was the picture of a perfect family, but we all know that's not the case, especially when it comes to finances. That's why I have Bill Walters in the studio. He heads up Perfectly Imperfect Families.

My next guest spent her early days in war-torn Bosnia. None of us can even imagine the horrors that she saw growing up, but she has turned all of that pain into passion and purpose. Now she's a very successful life coach and motivational speaker, and she's helping women worldwide find empowerment. Mirsada Memic is in the studio.

If there's a knock on the medical world, it's that the family nurse practitioner or doctor only gets 5 to 10 minutes with their patient, and they're very quick with the prescription pad.

There are so many doctors who probably have no idea how many cocktails or pills their clients are on. Dr. Christi Campbell knows this very well. She spent 48 years as a family nurse practitioner.

I cannot think of a more philanthropic community than DFW, and one of the reasons we’re so giving is because of the Communities Foundation of Texas. They’ve been around since 1953, and I’m blessed to have in the studio a good friend, Calvert Collins-Bratton, who is the Chief Relationships Officer.

There's an old saying that there are two most important days in your life. The day you were born and the day you find out why you were born.

My next guest is Brynlea Taylor Lee. She's an influencer. She's a philanthropist. And she's found her purpose. It's faith, family, and serving others.

This episode is near and dear to my heart because I've known my next guest for some two decades, maybe longer. RaDonna Hessel in the studio. She's the CEO of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce.

I'm a baby boomer, so I'm part of a talking generation. Gen Z, on the other hand, is famously a texting generation. I think that gap becomes even more noticeable in behind-the-scenes roles like IT or cybersecurity.

That’s why I have Antoine Jordan in the studio today. He’s a speaker and communications coach.
