The Keri Croft Show

TGIF!

Jacquie Mahan is definitely one of a kind. This incredible lady founded The Awesome Company back in 2015(ish) and she's carved out a really special niche for adults with autism. From the employees-to the hand-written thank you letters-to the personal product delivery...this company is really somethin' special.

But really who cares about the company because all Jacquie really wants to talk about is ...

I met Anthony via Kim & Doug Verhoff many moons ago and immediately knew he was as good egg. A few weeks ago, I ran into Anthony at Stauf's where I found out he low-key gives back on his bday and then it led to "why in the hell are you single" and here we are.

In this bonus episode, we talk Lunch Box Ohio and I grill him on what he wants in a mate.

Calling all single ladies: This is a serious mi...

The Vindys are an incredibly talented band from Youngstown, OH made up of a cool ass group of humans. Since 2014, they've been growing their loyal fan base with their unique blend of pop, soul, and rock. Led by powerhouse singer/songwriter Jackie Popovec, this band is one to watch, baby! 

I'm a BIG fan.

If you haven't heard their music yet, please take a minute and check them out on Spotify or where...

Dani Sage is a modern mystic. You can find her at the Good Vibes Hive supporting individuals on their path to owning their magic, stepping into their power, and living their best lives, through guidance from Spirit Guides, tarot cards, crystals, and her own intuition.

Dani came into the studio to read my cards, and what she said was NOT a surprise to me. Spot on, Dani!

You can find this fabulous, witchy woman at w...

I found Derek Skelton on TikTok. He was lip synching a Vince Vaughn line from Wedding Crashers, and he drew me in. I started going down the typical rabbit hole on his page, and then I saw that he's a talented singer, too...

So, naturally I reached out and asked if we could be friends...and here we are.

Please go follow Derek and listen to his new single on Spotify called Old Days. It's such a catchy song...

Wayne Lewis started 614 Media Group in 1997 and his biz has spawned several successful magazines like (614) magazine, Stock and Barrel, Columbus Restaurant Week and more. Wayne also loves to cook, so naturally he tried out for Master Chef with Gordon Ramsey and made it to 5th place.

His no bullshit energy and "try me" attitude are two qualities that I gravitate toward, and I loved talking to him about everything ...

I met Jesse back in 2022 at the Summit Series. I had a 5 minute interaction with him, asked for his Insta handle, and walked away knowing we'd be friends someday. He has that certain something that you can't teach, and there was this energetic thing about him that had me at hello.

Jesse is a music producer turned CEO, and if you scroll through his profile you'll see him smiling alongside the who's who o...

Staci McCool is awesome. She's authentic and low-key and the founder of Bluespot YOGA in Bexley, OH. 

In this episode, she opens up about the untimely death of her brother, and how it contributed to her anxiety. We also talk about her horrible ex-landlord and her stalker.

There's a lot of bang for your buck in this episode so put it on your "must watch" list!

Jeni Britton needs no introduction. She's an unconventional, creative force who re-invented the way we look at ice cream. As a result, we've become incredibly curious about her personal life.

It's human nature to look at someone like Jeni and put her in a box that makes you comfortable, or fits your narrative. The truth is, your view is rarely an accurate depiction of the real person. Yep, I'm talking ...

Hello you beautiful bitch kitties 🐱 

When the founder of @latenightslice (Mikey Sorboro) came on the show a few months ago, I fell head over heels for his aura. The more we talked, the more I just HAD to know the details about the other half of this pizza partnership.

 @mikeysorboro and @bungerott are great friends and business partners in a growing business ready to scale. I asked ALL of the questions and ended ...

Megan Shroy is a force to be reckoned with. First, she's the proud mom of 3 great kiddos and wife to a cool dude named Brent. 

As the founder + president of Approach Marketing, she challenged the traditional marketing model and built an incredible business without having the players under one very expensive roof. While this philosophy was cutting edge at the time, it worked. 

She's also a master of long-...

Ukeme Awakeassien Jeter is a force to be reckoned with. She came to America when she was 18 years old and has been kicking ass and taking names ever since. With multiple degrees under her belt, she's now the mayor of Upper Arlington, and the first person of color to ever hold this position. Here's to progress, and I'm cheering this incredible human on every step of the way! 

Our conversation was real, fun, a...
