The Mike "McGavel" Jones Show

We have a lot of really cool people on the podcast, but at the end of the day, The Mike McGavel Jones Show is a show about auction. Some of the auctions United SCS has running this first quarter are truly incredible, and today on the show, Mike invites Mark Woodling back onto the program to celebrate his 40th birthday and talk about it! Take a look back at some of last years most unique properties that went up for auction and at what's coming around the corner in this special episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show!

There's a lot of things an old car can do. It can get you where you're going, it can help you out of a bind, and sometimes it can cost you an arm and a leg. But what you might not know is, your old car can help kids in need of second chance at an education. Hard to believe, right? Richard Marquez doesn't think so. He's been the CEO of Texans Can Academies since 2007 and today on a brand new episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, he's sitting down with Mike to talk about how Texans Can got started, how they're changing the education game here in the lone star state, and how Texans Can can turn that rusty old car into a bright future.

What does it mean to be a Texan? It's a question a lot of folks south of the panhandle (and even in the panhandle) have asked themselves for generations. And while he may not claim to know it, Sid Miller just might have the answer. He's the Texas Agricultural Commissioner right here in our lone-star state, but you might know him more recently from his appearances on television standing next to President Trump. And this week on a very special episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike's sitting down with Sid to talk about building walls, tearing down monuments, and how Sid's love for our Lone-Star State has led him to be speaking at President Trump's podium at the recent rally in El Paso!

Leadership is a challenging thing. It's not easy to tell folks what's to do, and usually it's even harder to know what they're supposed to be doing in the first place. And in the age of social media, a lot of folks have opinions, but it takes a special kind of person to follow through with them. Just ask Lynn McBee. She's a seventh-generation Texan that started her career as a biochemist before becoming the CEO of Young Women's Prep. She's also a high-profile philanthropist, and a civic leader in one of Texas' biggest cities (our very own Dallas, of course). She's had her finger on the pulse of the metroplex for over 25 years. She's an eternal optimist, and what some see as problems, Lynn sees as opportunities. And today on the Mike McGavel Jones Show, she's sitting down with Mike to get to the bottom of what exactly all that means, and how she's planning to change things when she runs for Dallas Mayor next term.

It takes all sorts to make the world. Folks come out of the woodwork from every direction nowadays, and when you're in an industry as diverse as auctioneering, you might be surprised by the people you meet. Just ask Jimmie Dean Coffey. He's the current Indiana State Champion Auctioneer and he's been helping folks buy and sell real estate (through Auction and otherwise) for over 30 years. And today on a brand new episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, he's sitting down with Mike to talk about his small beginnings in the rodeo, why they met nearly 40 years ago, and how exactly he snagged that Indiana State Championship title.

It's been said that the music makers are the dreamers of dreams. Seems like a silly thing to say, really. Everybody's got dreams and nowadays nearly anybody can make music. But the difference between the dreamers and the doers is that not everybody can make music well. Just ask Therese Marie. She's an award-winning music artist that's been featured on MTV, CMT, Billboard (magazine), and a whole host of live performances all over the world. And today on The Mike McGavel Jones Show, she's sitting down with Mike to talk about when she got into the business, how she ended up collaborating with Snoop Dogg, and how exactly she got herself featured on an episode of an auctioneering podcast in the first place.

Auctions are universal. There's a certain something to connecting with an audience, engaging a large group, and driving a bid for an item that just speaks to people all over the world. And while we've heard a lot about how Auctions come together in the lone-star state, we haven't spent a whole lot of time talking about how things work in other parts of the U.S. Just ask Mike Brandly. He's an independent auctioneer based out of Ohio and he's been working the chant for nearly 40 years. And on this week's episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike's sitting down with Mr. Brandly to talk about how they met, why Mike got into the National Auctioneers Association, and how his experience selling everything from cars to construction equipment makes him a brilliant fit for America's Auction Academy.

It takes all sorts to make the world. Everybody's got that odd job every once in a while, but for some of us, those odd jobs are what make work exciting. Just ask Victoria Snee. Over the years she's jumped around to nearly every industry doing one thing or the next. But what you don't find in most industry-hopping folks is actual growth. Which is why Victoria's recent swing into high-class atmosphere as Highland Park Village's Chief Marketing Officer is surprisingly unsurprising. And today on the Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike's getting into the weeds with Victoria to find out how exactly she got into the job of her dreams, why she's been all around the professional world to get there, and what she learned along the way.

The Texas Rangers, simply put, are more than just a baseball team. They're an institution. In their 58 years rounding the bases they've seen it all. Wins, losses, victories, and defeats. And while the Rangers have had a few mainstay players that have stuck around for a while, almost nobody's been there as long as Eric Nadel. He's the award-winning broadcaster who's been covering the Rangers for 40 years. And whether you're a baseball fan or not, Eric's story's one you're going to want to hear. From his small beginnings in Brooklyn to his first stint calling Hockey and ultimately, to entering both the Texas Rangers AND Baseball Hall of Fame, Eric's seen it all. And on this week's episode of The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Eric sits down with Mike to talk about everything - his favorite players, his least favorite managers, and the most devastating (and encouraging) moments of his career. So do yourself a favor and tune in to Episode 21 of The Mike McGavel Jones Show - it's one you won't want to miss.
