The Mike "McGavel" Jones Show

Today on a very special episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike invites film star Burton Gilliam onto the program to talk about his relationship with Burton, how Burton's been involved with United SCS, and yes, that pesky Blazing Saddles movie.

So we've heard about Mike Jones, and we know about Dan Duffy, but who's the third arm of the United SCS powerhouse? Today on the show, Mike invites United SCS Vice President Mark Woodling onto the show to talk about his background in real estate and auctioning, how he's evolved along with the industry to keep United relevant in the age of internet auctions, and what exactly this "Utah Land Rush" thing is all about.

Today on the Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike digs into commercial auctions. How do large housing developments get sold? Millions of dollars in construction equipment? Who's pulling all the strings behind the world's largest sales? Tune in to find out!

Today on Episode 6 of The Mike McGavel Jones show, Mike sits down with Katy Bock of Bachendorf's Jewelers to talk about her philanthropic work for local charities in Dallas, her involvement as co-chair at this year's Cattle Baron's Ball, and how exactly she got tangled up with this Mike Jones character in the first place.

Today on the show, Mike invites Barrett Bray, 2009 Texas Auction Academy Graduate and this year's International Auctioneer Champion on to the show to talk about his journey through the academy and what he's been up to since his ascension to Auction Champion in July.

At it's core, auctioning isn't just about selling. It can also be about giving. Mike talks about the history of Fundraising at Auction, how it can be more effective than simply passing the hat around, and shares a couple of candid stories about how a simple auction really can drive folks to get excited.

So how does somebody become an auctioneer? What's the secret to developing that signature fast-talk chant? This week on The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike digs into America's Action Academy- how they got started, where they've been, and in the age of internet commerce, where they're going.

On Episode 2, Mike sits down with United Real Estate CEO Dan Duffy into the studio to talk about his tenure as the head of the company, his background in real estate, and that one time he appeared as a guest on Undercover Boss.

There's a lot of people out there who like buying their stuff straight from a store. Amazon, Wal-Mart, even the local shopping mall. But for some, the thrill of the sale can only come from the competition of an American Auction. It's a time honored tradition; one that's been around for years, and despite it's dip in popularity, isn't going anywhere.
So what does it take to get started in the auction business? How do you find a foothold in the industry? And what's the secret to selling things to the highest bidder? Mike Jones just might have the answer.
