MEET…
…the woman who accidentally hung up on Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and put Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones on hold!
Dayna Steele reigned for years as Houston’s First Lady of Radio. For years, she was one of the top female rock radio personalities in the USA. With a legion of fans known as Steeleworkers, Dayna was known for her sultry voice, music knowledge, entertaining celebrity interviews and commitment to broadcast excellence. 
During her career, 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. Dayna will be inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in the fall of 2010.
After leaving radio, Dayna created The Space Store, the world’s largest space related e-commerce venture, which she sold to a NASA aerospace contractor. She also started Smart Girls Rock, an online community to encourage girls to make “smart the new cool” or “geek the new chic.” And, Dayna founded Operation National Anthem, a series of free videos of U.S. service men and women offered to venues throughout the country to play prior to the singing of our United States national anthem.
Dayna is the author of the best-selling business book Rock to the Top: what I Learned about Success from the World’s Greatest Rock Star. AOL calls Dayna “one of the foremost experts on career networking” and Reader’s Digest Magazine named Dayna one of the “35 People Who Inspire Us.” Her new book I’m With the Band: Network Your Way into Anything, Anywhere, Anytime! is scheduled for release in January 2011. Dayna lives in Seabrook, Texas with her husband, author Charles Justiz, and has three sons.

I had the opportunity to hear you speak on Monday at MLT U in St. Paul, and enjoyed every minute of your message. Thank you!
i’ve taken your Operational National Anthem website information and distributed to my entire address book, encouraging it be played before every professional, collegiate & high school sporting event. Impactful message that we all need to stop and think about. Many thanks.
We met last night at the St Paul Hotel. If you send me an email, I will send you my contact information, although its all on our website, so you can get it there as well. Hope to hear from you.
