I had the honor of speaking to the Southlake Chamber about three weeks ago, and one of the title sponsors did a video and I was just blown away. It's upscale Italian fashion in Texas, and I was so enthralled by it that I had to bring the two driving forces behind it to the studio to tell their story. Massimo Pauri and Andrea Casati are the owners of Pauri & Casati.

I have to confess I am a meat lover—a carnivore. I think I tried vegan for one meal, and it didn't take with me. But everybody I've talked to who's gone vegan swears by it. My next guest is such a person. Jeniece Paige is with Black Vegan Health and Wellness.

I remember being a huge $6 Million Man fan in the seventies, and they came up with this really cool doll where you could remove the latex and see his bionic arm. And he also had a bionic eye. It was really, really cool. I'm geeking out a little bit because the man behind that doll is sitting in my studio right now, Jacob Miles, the prince of play.

Over the course of my news career, I know I've done dozens of reports about VA medical centers, the backlogs, and the fact that many veterans who could qualify for benefits aren't even applying. It's a mess. To talk about that today is Trinidad Aguirre, CEO and Co-Founder of VetsForever.

I run into people all the time who say I'm not a salesperson. Then, I see they have a ring on, so of course, you're a salesperson. You made the ultimate sale. She said yes! So people that associate salespeople with used car salesmen have some of what Zig Zigler would call stinkin' thinkin'. Today, Jim Pancero is here to discuss that. He is a hall-of-fame speaker and a national thought leader in sales.

We all know people in their forties who look like they're in their eighties and vice versa. We live in a society where you can't even imagine getting old, and even 20-somethings are getting preventative Botox so they don't see those wrinkles. Tama Tran, the owner and CEO of Lily Med Spa, knows a lot about that.

If you've watched this show for any length of time, you know I like to bring on people who are filled with faith and the spirit. My next guest epitomizes that. Natalie Lavelock is a faith based, international speaker and serial entrepreneur who helps people in the faith based space.

I remember when I was growing up, I probably could no name a single Fortune 500 CEO. They were just these random people running these big companies, these days. They've become household names. Who doesn't know Mark Cuban? Mark Zuckerburg? Elon Musk? They've become rock stars, and so has the C-suite. Someone who knows a lot about that is my next guest, Dr. Karen Koepp, with Koepp Research Corporation.

We're all guilty of this from time to time. You're on the hamster wheel, trying to pay some bills and feed your family, and then suddenly, you wake up, and a decade has passed. I think all of us need to slow down and really take an inventory of what matters. My next guest knows that very well and is very passionate about it. Ann Ranson is a coach, consultant, and facilitator, and she joins us in the studio today.

I think I just met my brother from another mother. He started his marketing company just one year before I did, and we've experienced many of the same kinds of economies. Nick Bonanno, the Co-Founder and owner of Simple Media, is in the studio.
