Every time we have an EGG get together, we always kick off the night with everyone sharing their story of their first rock concert.  So it is fitting that Dayna Steele is our guest this Friday.

Dayna is engaging, inspiring and downright funny.

She is an entertaining motivational speaker and corporate emcee, successful entrepreneur, media consultant and the author of the best-selling business book Rock to the Top:  What I Learned about Success from the World’s Greatest Rock Stars. She travels the world teaching the four rock star principles of success in her popular presentation, “Find Your Inner Rock Star!”

 “One of the 35 people who inspire us!”
 Readers Digest Magazine, Best of America Issue

For years, Dayna was one of the top female rock radio personalities in the USA. With a legion of fans that referred to themselves as Steeleworkers, Dayna was known for her sultry voice, music knowledge and entertaining celebrity interviews. During her career and reign as Houston’s “First Lady of Radio,” she was named one of the 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts by Talkers Magazine and nominated as Local Radio Personality of the Year by Billboard Magazine.

After leaving radio, Dayna created The Space Store (www.thespacestore.com), the world’s largest space related e-commerce venture which she sold to a NASA aerospace contractor.  She then created Smart Girls Rock, a product line currently available at www.smartgirlsrock.com to encourage girls to make “smart the new cool” or “geek the new chic.”  Dayna also founded Operation National Anthem, a series of free videos of U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq offered to venues throughout the country to play prior to the singing of our national anthem (www.operationnationalanthem.com). For that, Reader’s Digest named Dayna one of the “35 People Who Inspire Us” in the May 2008 issue.

Dayna is married to a NASA pilot. She has three sons, one faithful Labrador and one faithless cat.  There will be no more fish or hamsters.
