Darren Ford | Keynote Speaker | Author | Trainer | The Jeff Crilley Show

When I was coming up in the workforce during the 1970s and 1980s, the prevailing management style was simple: "My way or the highway." Leaders gave orders, and employees were expected to follow them without question. That approach doesn't work with today's workforce. Modern employees want more than direction—they want connection. They need to know that their leaders genuinely care about them before they care how much those leaders know. Darren Ford is in the studio today. He's a keynote speaker, author, and trainer who helps organizations build stronger leaders, healthier workplace cultures, and more engaged teams.

Tatiana Miller | Founder | RX 4 Life | The Jeff Crilley Show

I’m so excited about this episode because Tatiana Miller is back in the studio. She’s the founder of RX 4 Life, and today we’re talking about something that impacts virtually every workplace — the mental health pandemic. So many employees are silently dealing with burnout, stress, and anxiety, yet very few people raise their hand and talk about it openly. It’s become the hidden subplot inside companies and organizations everywhere, and I’m grateful she’s bringing this important conversation to light.

Johnny Quinn | Keynote Speaker | U.S. Olympian | The Jeff Crilley Show

I’m so honored to have Johnny Quinn in the studio. Believe it or not, I first interviewed him more than ten years ago on The Jeff Crilley Show back when we were broadcasting at iHeart down the street. He’s become a legendary speaker and coach, and today he’s sharing some incredible wisdom and insight with us.

Kari-Ann Melendez | Founder | President | Adapt-Able Foundation | The Jeff Crilley Show

I love featuring nonprofits on the show because I always learn so much from the people behind them. Kari-Ann Melendez is in the studio today. She is the founder and president of the Adapt-Able Foundation, and I can’t wait to hear more about the impact they’re making in the community.

Elisabeth Jordan | Founder | CEO | The Human Impact | The Jeff Crilley Show

I’ve always had a heart for the homeless. My father, Dr. Robert Howard Crilley, led a downtown Detroit ministry where he fed the homeless and became a true voice for them. And the truth is, homelessness can happen faster than people realize. Elisabeth Jordan, CEO and founder of The Human Impact, is here to talk about that reality and the work being done to restore dignity and hope.
