A true Houston legend, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale joins The A-Team to talk about how Gallery Furniture is stepping up to help Houstonians after Hurricane Beryl passed through the area. He says the true heroes are the resilient Houstonians. 

In this episode, Jeff and Jim discuss: Having a passion for your work. The ubiquitous nature of marketing.Getting out of your comfort zone. The sustaining nature of faith.   Key Takeaways: Marketing is not an expense, it is an investment in your business. You need to let people know who you are, what you're selling, and be available. Community is what people need. The average home size has decreased in the last 50 years, but humans need connection and community. If not for your struggle, you cannot know your strength.   "Life offers you a second chance - it's called tomorrow. You've got to suit up every single day." —  Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale About Jim McIngvale: Born in Mississippi, Jim “Mattress Mack” Mcingvale attended high school in Dallas, TX and was a student at the University of Texas and the University of North Texas where he played football for both schools in 1969-1970 and 1972-1973, respectively. After college, Mack worked at a convenience store where his boss did him a huge favor one day: he fired him.Refreshed and determined, Mack found a job at a furniture store on the other side of town where he diligently worked, absorbing the business practices and trades of the furniture industry. Inspired, he made a decision that would forever change his life and the competitive world of the retail industry: to open up his own furniture store.Mattress Mack now has three Gallery Furniture stores, the original North Freeway, 110,000 square foot location, the largest store on Grand Parkway, and the smaller Post Oak store. While Gallery Furniture is well known, Mack's philanthropy is legendary. In fact, his philanthropy is as contagious as his passion for furniture. His work on special projects has helped to build the first Mobile Stroke Unit in the USA for patients in Houston and when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston in August of 2017, Mack opened the doors of Gallery Furniture to those who were seeking shelter from the flood. Most recently, Mack served 3,000+ meals and provided overnight shelter to more than 700 Houstonians at Gallery Furniture who were affected by Winter Storm Uri. When there's a great charitable need, Mack is usually the first to respond, if not spearhead the effort.Anyone who's ever worked for or with Mack knows that he builds his business and performs his acts of charity not for recognition, but to benefit the community at large. Mack has a huge heart and is focused on helping Houston become the greatest city in America. Mack is one of Houston's most recognized citizens and has touched the lives of countless Houstonians in a positive way. Connect with Jim McIngvale:Website: https://www.mattressmack.com/   Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-upEmail: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/

It's A Mattress Mack Come Back!! Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale had been on a bit of a losing streak with his gigantic sports bets, but the biggest comeback in the history of the college basketball championship netted him a huge score Monday night. When Kansas beat North Carolina 72-69 Mack was able to cash in to the tune of about $15 million. Also, with various bets throughout the NCAA Tournament. He wagered more than $8.8 million on the Jayhawks to win it all. As usual, McIngvale's bets were a hedge against his Gallery Furniture store promotion. If Kansas won the title, he was offering customers a refund on any purchase of $3,000 or more on American-made furniture. “The customers bought about $15 million worth of merchandise” So he doesn't have to give away free furniture. During the NFL and college football playoff games, he lost $15.4 million on gambling. McIngvale had bet and lost $9.5 million on the Bengals to beat the Rams in the Super Bowl

She then samples Hershey’s Kisses Tie Dye wrapped, and then moves on to describe tasting Burger King’s Fish Sandwich. UPDATE ON KATHLEEN’S QUEEN’S COURT: In an update on her Queens, Kathleen tells listeners to follow Tanya Tucker’s Instagram account, as she has been posting from her home state of Texas amidst winter storm Uri. Kathleen loves Tanya’s animation and tenacity, and thinks she makes the best Texas skinny margarita on the planet. Kathleen’s primary queen Dolly Parton has asked Tennessee lawmakers to withdraw a bill that would erect a statue of her on the capitol grounds in Nashville, noting that in the current state of the world she feels as though their attention could be better spent elsewhere, but appreciates the gesture.

FEDERAL RESERVE MAKES ROOM FOR DeFi: Kathleen is thrilled that the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis is formally reviewing Ethereum-based decentralized finance (DeFi.) The Fed’s report comes with warnings about smart contract security, scalability and other risk factors involved in this revolutionary type of investment, but also touts the exciting opportunities and potential that is on the horizon. Kathleen purchases more Ethereum via her Coinbase app, and relates the simplicity and high risk of Cryptocurrency investment to buying $20 scratch-off tickets. ANIMALS MOST LIKELY TO KILL YOU BY STATE: Kathleen continues with the segment Animals Most Likely to Kill You (By State), as reported by the Center for Disease Control. If you live in New Hampshire watch out for dogs, New Mexico has an immense amount of deer accidents, and apparently New Jersey has an aggressive coyote issue.MORE COOL THINGS INVENTED BY WOMEN: Kathleen continues her reporting on cool stuff invented by women.

Kathleen reviews the interests of all parties connected to Delvey, and in anticipation of the upcoming Netflix and HBO movies about Delvey she recommends listening to the BBC’s 6-episode podcast series “Fake Heiress.” As Delvey was released from prison February 2021, Kathleen is following her “Anna Delvey Diaries” to track her whereabouts and determine her next moves, which will most likely follow her established path of deceit. 90-YEAR-OLD BUYS WSJ ADS TO GET AT&T’S ATTENTION: Kathleen laughs reading an article about 90-year-old North Hollywood resident Aaron Epstein, a loyal AT&T customer since 1960.

McIngvale opened his furniture stores for Houstonians seeking shelter when shelters were overrun, and Kathleen (and her mom) can’t say enough about his generous spirit. EPSTEIN’S ISLAND: Kathleen reads an update regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s Little St. James and Great St. James Islands. Reports out of Miami note that the estate has received interest from several unnamed buyers. However, the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands is currently in a legal dispute with Epstein’s estate over his property, so no sale is expected to close anytime soon.

She also HIGHLY recommends “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” on Hulu.MYSTERY OF THE WEEK: Kathleen reviews the mystery of the South Dakota Attorney General, Jason Ravnsborg, who hit and killed a man with his car while returning from a Republican Party dinner and no other details have been released. Ravnsborg has not been arrested, and residents of South Dakota’s Hyde County are demanding answers.

A deadly storm has swept through Texas, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and heat. Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is known for opening his furniture stores for those in need, and this time is no different. Mack has opened up two of his stores as warming centers during the power outages. The Gallery Furniture’s showrooms in Richmond and Houston will be open to Texans who need a meal and a warm place to stay. “Least we could do is open this furniture store to let people come into a warmer place,” Mattress Mack told CBS Houston affiliate KHOU. “Sofas and plenty available TVs, plenty of available mattresses, plenty of available and lots of hot food.” Although its costs money to keep his stores running as shelters, Mattress Mack keeps stepping up when there is a crisis. “We can afford that and what we can’t afford is to cause these people to lose hope, we got to give hem hope,” he said. “This is what my parents would have done.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Jay Aiyer and Brandon Rottinghaus are taking a “summer vacation” from politics but they wanted to share a new podcast presented by Houston Public Media.  It’s called "Stories from the Storm" and it’s conversations with community leaders, public servants, and everyday Houstonians who reflect – nearly a year later - on Hurricane Harvey and how the storm changed their lives.  In this first episode, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale (a Houston icon and founder of the store Gallery Furniture) and store manager Anthony Lebedzinski tell the story of how Gallery Furniture came to be a place of refuge during Harvey, including harrowing water rescues that helped bring displaced Houstonians to the store. You can subscribe to the podcast and watch a video of this conversation and nine others at houstonpublicmedia.org/harvey. We’ll be back on the political bandwagon next week.  I wonder if there will be anything to talk about? 

The founder of Gallery Furniture, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, and store manager Anthony Lebedzinski tell the story of how Gallery Furniture came to be a place of refuge during Hurricane Harvey, including harrowing water rescues that helped bring displaced Houstonians to the store. Part 1 of 10-part series, "Stories from the Storm". More at houstonpublicmedia.org/harvey.
