The Jeff Crilley Show RNCN

I've always been fascinated by auctioneers just for the way that they can talk fast, but that would be just a broad brush approach to this industry. It's much more than being able to talk fast. You're an entertainer, a fundraiser, and you really have to study the client to succeed. A man who knows a lot about that is Dean McCurry with DM Auction Services.

In my long news career, I had the privilege of interviewing everyone from presidents to A-list stars from Hollywood. So it takes a lot to impress me. But my next guest truly impresses me with what he's done in his short life. Dylan Rafaty with the North Texas Disability Chamber is in the studio.

Here in the U.S., we are all spoiled. We know that when we turn on the faucet, we'll get fresh water. But in many places around the globe, that's a luxury that people can't even imagine. Jacob Niemeier, with Vera Aqua Vera Vita, is addressing the global water crisis.

A.I. has been around for generations, but many Americans didn't even know it until ChatGPT came along. Now, suddenly, everybody has to get on the A.I. train. Somebody who knew about A.I. way back in the eighties is my next guest, John Arnott, with C1M.

Dallas has long had a reputation for technology. You could go back to the EDS and Ross Perot days when we first came on the map as a technology center, not just an oil and gas center. We continue to make strides in that area because there's great talent here. Two people who know that very well are Kris Fitzgerald and Shashi Yadiki with Smart Data Solutions.

Okay. Brad Pitt. Fight Club. Iconic movie. But it takes a real genius to take that and duplicate it only in the digital arena. That's my next guest, Michael Pratt, the founder and host of Digital Fight Club.
