    From Marine Science to Marketing Mogul: Amy Hall's Journey to Agency Ownership

    In this episode of Dallas CEOs You Should Know, host Chris Long sits down with Amy Hall, owner of The Barber Shop Marketing, to trace her unconventional path from small-town Tennessee to leading one of Dallas's most respected agencies.

    Amy shares how a pivotal moment with a mentor at Coastal Carolina University redirected her from marine science to fine arts and ultimately into the world of experiential marketing, working with brands like Camel and Audi North America. She opens up about co-founding Driver's Select with her then-husband, navigating the highs of rapid growth alongside the realities of building a business while raising a family, and surviving both the post-9/11 economy and the 2008–2009 crash.

    In 2016, Amy acquired The Barber Shop Marketing from founder Liz Barber, closing the deal just six weeks after their first conversation. She talks candidly about the imposter syndrome of Day One, the discipline of listening before making changes, and the hard-earned lessons about smart growth over fast growth. Now approaching her 10th anniversary as owner, Amy reveals what's next including revisiting an acquisition opportunity five years in the making.

    Plus: first concert confessions (New Kids on the Block!), the Twizzlers vs. salt and vinegar chips debate, and why curiosity is the one trait she values most in her team.

    Here's a publish-ready episode description: Dallas CEOs You Should Know | Tina Posey, CEO of Spinutech In this episode, Chris Long sits down with Tina Posey, CEO of Spinutech, a 25-year independent digital marketing and web agency built on performance, curiosity, and client outcomes.

    Tina's path to the corner office wasn't planned. A native Texan and UTA grad who once had her sights set on criminal justice, she stumbled into an ad agency internship and never looked back. From her early days on the Hyatt Hotels account to scaling agencies inside Omnicom and Publicis Groupe for brands like AT&T, Google, Mercedes-Benz, and Citibank, Tina built her career by staying curious, empowering people, and letting results do the talking.

    Now leading Spinutech's next chapter of growth, Tina talks about what it means to step into a founder-led legacy, why clarity is a CEO's most important deliverable, and how people-first leadership creates the conditions for sustained performance. She and Chris also dig into the evolving expectations enterprise brands have for their agency partners, navigating AI noise, and what "decision velocity" actually looks like in practice.

    Plus, Tina reveals her first concert, her walk-up song, and the one movie she'll never scroll past.

    2026/03/03
    Kalyn Asher, founder of Asher Media and Avalanche Media Group, joins us to share how she's spent more than three decades building brands, forging partnerships, and redefining what an independent media agency can be. From her unexpected start at Texas A&M to finding her way to UT and eventually founding her Dallas agency in 1999 out of her living room with one client and her first employee Jackie Barrera by her side, Kalyn breaks down the entrepreneurial grit, relationship-driven approach, and people-first philosophy that have defined twenty-six years of Asher. We talk about what it really takes to build lasting client partnerships, how winning a ten-million-dollar account as a two-person operation changed everything, and why being a good steward of your client's money is the foundation of everything they do. The conversation also covers the honest realities of balancing founding a company while starting a family, navigating the personal challenges no one warns you about as a business owner, and what it looks like to build a team so strong you can step away and come back to find everything still standing.

    Plus, Popcorn Roulette, the Aggie secret Kalyn has been keeping, and the one song that got her through the earliest days of building something from nothing.

    Chet Kimmell, CEO of Neighborhood Credit Union, joins us to share how he's spent thirty years building one of the most trusted financial institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. From his early days as an auditor at Arthur Young and Deloitte to becoming only the fourth CEO in NCU's nearly 100-year history, Chet breaks down the philosophy, patience, and people-first leadership that have defined his tenure. We talk about what separates a credit union from a bank, why financial literacy is a community responsibility, and how NCU became a mobile-first institution without losing its personal touch. The conversation also covers generational member relationships, the risks of well-intentioned financial policy, and what it really means to invest in someone's financial journey, not just their bottom line.

    Plus, Credit Crunch Roulette, a debate on the future of the penny, and the first concert that may have just taken the top spot on our all-time list.
