Today on the Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike Sits down with Spiritual Author and Poet, William Owens. In 2017 William rode his bike over 1,000 miles from NV to TX. Today he is traveling America in his RV launching a national book project called Aflame for America - a tabletop hardbound book that will be a compilation of authentic essays, poems, open letters and pictures by Americans from every walk of life. Owens will continue God’s work and follow his path wherever it leads. His latest book, Astonished, shares the story of his first Shift to Greatness tour from NV to TX. It is now available. William has written 14 books on spiritual growth and maturity. The following are his latest works which include two books of poetry.

Mike sits down with Dallas native Henry Munoz, Pianist, and Entertainer who also owns Munoz Sign Company. Henry has played at some of Dallas’ most iconic night clubs and restaurants for over 60 years. The 80-year-old Munoz will discuss everything from his early childhood growing up in a segregated Dallas, working at the Carousel Club for Jack Ruby, his thoughts about the Kennedy Assassination, working in the movies and writing commercial jingles, politics, remembering other entertainers like Trini Lopez and how he met his wife of over sixty years Gloria. He performs Sinatra, Tony Bennett and other classic American standards but also is known for his up tempo Latin music. Mr. Munoz currently performs weekly at III Forks in North Dallas and Table 13 in Addison. You will love Henry’s insights about today’s music and Mike’s heartfelt interview with this Dallas icon.

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. To find out more about Eric or to purchase a copy of his book "Lim-Eric", follow him on Instagram at @nadeleric16 or on Twitter at @nadeler.

Today on The Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike sits down with Cookie Lockhart of Lockhart Auction and Realty to talk about Cookie's storied history in auctioning, her unique position as the second-ever woman inducted into the Auctioneering Hall of Fame, and where exactly she earned the title "Queen of Auctioneers.

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.

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.

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.
