Another Shaping:DFW story on the books!

Watching the in action, it's 100% clear that Caitlin Brax, founder of in Dallas, has an uncanny talent for very quickly knowing exactly which pair of jeans will not only fit like a glove, but will make someone instantly smile and feel good about themselves. In these stressful times, moments like this matter and as Caitlin says, can create a ripple effect to put some goodness out into the world.

From my very first day as a newbie employee, to my return as a contractor years later, Jerry was always one of the kindest, most welcoming, most helpful, and most encouraging people. His was one of the faces and personalities that made WFAA what it was, and there is absolutely no doubt his absense will be felt by so, so many.

WFAA Production Operations Manager Jerry Cadigan started working at the station in 1973 -- and stayed 51 more years. He passed on Saturday, July 6.

Our newest segment of the 2024 Shaping:DFW season is LIVE!!

Love what Titan and Associates is doing to help first-time buyers (and beyond!) become homeowners. Owning a home can completely change the trajectory of families, and it is a source of motivation for Titan's founders, Kwame Ellis and Khalid Shabazz.

When you meet someone like Jeff Williams, founder of Taste Project and Taste Community Restaurant in Fort Worth, you know ow you’ve met someone who lives their life committed to helping others.

Jeff and Julie Williams opened Taste Community Restaurant and have figured out the way not only to help feed and support those in need, but do so in a most dignified, happy, kind and inviting way. I hope this idea takes hold across the nation. Until then, visit Taste for a great meal and so, SO, much more.

One of my favorite projects involves sharing the story of an organization's "why".

For Dallas CASA, the "why" is their mission to "protect children, restore childhood and help child victims of abuse and neglect achieve their full potential."

I hope this video inspires volunteers to join; inspires people to donate; or simply opens the eyes and hearts of people to see that children in foster care so desperately need to know that they are not alone.

Our newest Shaping:DFW segment of the year is live! This is the first of the 2024 season, featuring Marcello Andres Ceramics.

If you've dined at some of the top restaurants in Dallas like Beverly's, The Adolphus, Midnight Rambler, or Petra and the Beast you've likely eaten off a piece of functional art by Marcello Ortega, founder of Marcello Andres Ceramics. Seeing his art as a palette for the beautiful dishes and drinks created by the chefs at these notable restaurants, Ortega's work is creating a buzz.

It's tough to choose a favorite part of the creative process because, as is the case with all processes, each part plays a critical role. But when the seed of an idea starts to sprout roots, and the roots lead to the stalk, and the stalk buds leaves, and the whole thing ends with a gorgeous bloom, it's clear all of the processes were in sync.

This new WFAA Investigates promo is the bloom: the result of a clear mission, concise communication, and a talented, creative, committed team who brought it all together. I loved playing a role in this process and seeing my scripted words come to life, resulting in such a strong, classy promo.

David Vobora, Founder of the Adaptive Training Foundation is making a difference in the lives of the athletes he works with, but beyond that, the resulting ripple effects are felt in so, so many ways.

When you meet someone who has discovered their , there's just no stopping them. That, along with a growth model/partnership with Dak Prescott means the sky really is the limit. The future for those who suffer life-altering injuries could be far different than they--or anyone else--ever imagined.

Our newest Shaping:DFW piece is live!

Daisha Board, founder of Daisha Board Gallery has created a space for marginalized artists, many of whom are Dallas-based (whoop!) and have, for far too long, been left out of many opportunities here in Dallas. In just two short years, the gallery has garnered a following that extends far beyond Dallas, and sales have far surpassed expectations. Winner of the D Magazine Best in Big D satellite gallery, and already on to her new larger space in the Tin District, Daisha Board is one to watch.

Starship Bagel is the BEST in the US!! Check out this piece from WFAA. The video link in the story is the one we did on Oren Salomon as part of the Metroplex Cadillac Dealers Shaping:DFW series on entrepreneurs.

I keep saying, ‘if you haven’t tried these bagels, you need to’ and now the judges at BagelFest agree! These are the BEST!

Congratulations to you,

Oren Salomon opened his first Starship Bagel location in Lewisville in 2021. He opened the shop's second location earlier this year in Downtown Dallas.

Maricsa Trejo of La Casita Bakeshop is the perfect example of a passionate WFAA channel 8 Metroplex Cadillac Dealers Shaping:DFW entrepreneur: She is undeniably hard-working, dedicated to her craft, determined, and ambitious (in the best way possible), and every bit of that comes through in the most delicious way--through the love she and her staff pour into their ridiculously good, James Beard nominated baked goods.

Thank you, Maricsa, for trusting us to tell your story!

Let us Die is a beautifully tragic documentary, a labor of love, for WFAA’s Jason Whitely and Taylor Lumsden.

It is a story about the end of WWII…the untold stories of German citizens and families who suffered at the hands of Russian troops, and more importantly, the steps they took when hope and promise had vanished.

I was honored to be a script consultant on this documentary, honored to help tell the story of how a desk purchased at an estate sale led to the discovery of a significant piece of history that until now, many of us had never heard.

Serendipity is defined as an unplanned fortunate discovery. That term is behind almost every development in the tale you’re about to read.As a young man, jus...

Always so incredible to see the growth of our honorees.

We profiled Francois Reihani back in 2017. At the time, barely in his 20's, he had built--and sold--a restaurant; had opened a successful bar; and most importantly, had a burning passion to help kids aging out of foster care. That passion led to the creation of La La Land Kind Cafe and now this: A $20 million raise. (See the segment link in comments)

I continue to be amazed and inspired by the dozen and dozens of entrepreneurs I've had the honor of profiling over the past 9 (!) seasons of this series.

Our newest WFAA Shaping:DFW segment is live! This series, sponsored by Cadillac Metroplex Cadillac Dealers honors local entrepreneurs who are “shaping” their communities and businesses.

It is so rewarding to help tell the story of the entrepreneurial journey. It’s never easy, never a straight line, or all downhill; it’s filled with disappointment and triumph, and founders must be determined, passionate and always, always resilient in order to turn the seed of an idea into reality.

Jeff Bednar of Profound Foods is the perfect example of someone determined to be successful, not only for his small farm, but for dozens of other local farmers and producers. He is determined for the term “eat local” to translate to a percentage of foods we all eat to be produced and supplied by farmers right here in north Texas.
Check out their website for some fresh, delicious and unique local foods!

Jeff Bednar of Profound Farms is making a profound difference for local farmers and local eaters in North Texas.
