This week’s Neil Haley Show delivered an unforgettable mix of sports legends, financial wisdom, personal resilience, and health empowerment. From NHL royalty to gospel revelations, the March 31st episode brought together an inspiring range of voices that showcased exactly what the show is known for—celebrity insight with real-life impact.
🏒 NHL Legend Neil Smith Reflects on His Legacy
The show kicked off with a compelling interview featuring Neil Smith, former general manager of the New York Rangers and Islanders, who led the Rangers to their iconic 1994 Stanley Cup victory. Joined by co-host Greg Hanna, Neil Haley dove into Smith’s storied career, asking him to highlight the move he’s still most proud of: bringing Adam Graves to New York.
Smith also opened up about the immense pressure of building a championship team in New York, a city hungry for hockey glory after a 54-year drought. He shared candid reflections on the difficulty of working under ownership while maintaining his leadership style, and how his love for the game and people development kept him grounded.
Perhaps the most touching moment was his reminder about living in the present:
“Don’t waste the moment by thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Be here. Be now.”—Neil Smith
This segment was more than a sports interview—it was a masterclass in vision, pressure, and perseverance.
💰 Surviving Disaster: Financial Protection You Need Now
Next, financial strategist Alan Porter returned with another powerful edition of Strategic Wealth Strategies. Alan spotlighted a critical issue too often ignored: the financial fallout of natural disasters. With hurricanes, wildfires, and floods increasingly displacing millions, he emphasized the importance of properly constructed cash value life insurance policies as both emergency cash reserves and long-term family protection.
“Most people are financially unprepared for disaster. But with this vehicle, you can become your own bank and protect your future.”—Alan Porter
In classic Alan fashion, he didn’t just pitch a product—he educated listeners on the massive gap between what traditional financial institutions offer and what families truly need to stay secure.
🎤 Gloria Gaynor: Faith, Gospel, and the Fight to Survive
From disco queen to gospel powerhouse, Gloria Gaynor joined the show to talk about her new album and documentary project, I Will Survive. With warmth and grace, she opened up about her lowest moments—financial hardship, personal struggles—and how her faith in Christ helped her climb out of the valley and back into the spotlight.
“God gave me this voice, but I had to take care of it. This is not just a comeback—it’s a calling.”—Gloria Gaynor
Her Grammy-winning gospel album Testimony and her renewed passion for songwriting are proof that purpose and perseverance can reignite any career.
📚 Mitchell S. Karnes Gears Up for Big Book Signing
Author Mitchell S. Karnes shared exciting updates about his upcoming May 10th book signing at Barnes & Noble in Johnson City. Riding the momentum of Water Grave, and with buzz about a potential film adaptation, Karnes emphasized the importance of face-to-face engagement with readers and the need for authors to keep pushing, connecting, and believing in their message.
🥗 Kelly Springer Champions Nutrition for All
Registered dietitian Kelly Springer rounded out the episode with a passionate update on her mission to bring nutrition education to the workplace, schools, and underserved communities. With her company Kelly’s Choice expanding nationwide, Kelly is proving that dietitians are essential for mental health, chronic disease prevention, and productivity.

“Nutrition has been missing for decades. It's time to bring it back and make it accessible to everyone.”—Kelly Springer
