You're a mother and a businesswoman, so I 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.360 don't think there's every moment where you're not busy. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:45.040 So thank you. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.160 First of all, thank you so much for having me 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.199 as a fan of the show and the fact that 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:50.640 I've seen so many episodes. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.880 I am honored to finally be here. Thank you so much. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.240 Thank you. I appreciate your support. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.200 You came to my first live show, you watch you 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.440 let me know that you've watched the episode, so I 0:00:59.480 --> 0:00:59.960 appreciate it. 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:00.920 Thank you. 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.960 Yes, so we met like three years ago, which feels 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.920 like an eternity. We're both like it was way longer 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:07.200 than that. 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.160 I think it's about three years ago doing the BMW 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.600 un Court series, and immediately we hit it off, like 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.840 we were locked in from that day on. And what 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.800 I love about you is that you've always been a 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.399 dreamer like me. From a very young age. You had 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.760 all these big dreams that probably seemed so outlandish to 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.560 people who heard it right. You wanted to be the 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.360 first female NBA coach, but you became the first female 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.800 ball girl for the Miami Heat. Now, little backstory. I 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.559 read that you at the age of fifteen, you wrote 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.880 letters and you called the Miami Heat every single day. 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.240 Time about that. So, when I was fifteen, my mom, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.600 who was a registered nurse, you know, born and raised 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.640 in Belieze, knew nothing of American sports. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.840 I said she. I told her I wanted a job. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.880 She said, okay, mal, if you want to get a 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.240 job and whatever you're going to do for the rest 0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.920 of your life. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.840 At fifteen, what I was going to tell you I 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:02.520 was an artist. 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.840 I was always drawing and painting, but I knew that 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.720 I loved watching basketball. One of my cousins introduced me 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.440 to the game, but I would watch it like a 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.920 soap opera on TV for the storylines. Whenever I watched, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.000 I never saw women. So this is before they were 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.120 female referees or assistant coaches or anything. Yeah, And so 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.480 I said, you know, mo, mom would be the first 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.720 female coach in the NBA. She said, Okay, go get 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.360 a job in the NBA. And that was it, like 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.320 she laid down the gatland and there was no other option. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:26.720 Wow. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.200 And so I had never been to a game, never 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.320 been to the Miami Arena, which is where they used 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:31.680 to play. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.400 And so I started. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.520 Calling one eight hundred number like white Pages, and I called, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.519 I mean, how else do you get it right? 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:39.560 Making phone calls? 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.160 And I think I got someone in community relations and 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.679 they were like, I'm sorry, we don't have any jobs 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.120 for kids. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.239 Try the equipment manager. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.520 And so I got connected to a guy named Jay 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.160 Sable who was then the equipment manager. And I started 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.359 calling him. He wouldn't pick up, and I was like, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.320 let me write letters to Jay. So I would write letters, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.000 but I would draw on them. I'd draw pictures of 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.680 the players. I would draw you know, logos. Basketball is anything. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.639 And so one day I called him again and he 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.520 picked up. He was like, I've got your letters. You 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.240 know you're a tremendous artist, but I don't have any 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.320 jobs for girls. I was like, I don't know what 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.320 you would do. You know, this is grunge work. It's 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.040 coming early, staying late, mopping sweat, you know, olden towels. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.160 And I was like, well, I want a job. I 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.000 have no other option, right, And so I kept calling 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.359 and he was like, if you call me one more time, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.360 I'm not going to hire you. And I was like okay. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:26.800 So then I stopped for like a week, and then I. 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:27.480 Kept on calling. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.040 Come. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.520 Then eventually he was like, you know what, you have 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.720 a lot of heart, like the fact that he's like, well, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.360 why don't you coming for a preseason game? And to me, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.760 I was like, actually go to the arena like four 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.080 a game. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.440 Who had no idea? 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.560 And so I went and that was my first NBA 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.560 game ever. I think we played the Magic that year 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.640 and I got an outfit. It was like a rebox 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.520 champion like sweatsuit. I tell you, it was like this 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.760 free and it was the most amazing thing. Was like 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.080 watching TV come to life. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.280 Yes, that was take us to that moment when you 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.960 walked to the Miami Arena and was like walking into 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:03.400 your dream. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.640 Literally, how did that feel at that age? 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.200 I mean, I don't think I knew the gravity of 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.960 it at the time, because I was just kind of like, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.320 I hope I don't mess up, mind you. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.080 I never played basketball. I was always in Melissa. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.640 So I never like I didn't know how to rebound 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.520 like it was out there like going to the basket 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.920 and rebound. I was like standing directly under the basket, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:26.520 like like I got hit, got knocked down, busted lip. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.040 All that first day, never forget. And it was one 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.839 of those like learn quick. And there was a guy 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.320 named James, one of the other ball boys who was 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.520 definitely like from the hood around the Miami Arena. He 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.840 was like, hey, I'm gonna show you the ropes and 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.039 he took me under his wing. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.239 He's like, this is how we hustled. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.320 We got to carry, you know, like shoes for the 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.560 players or carry their bags in and out of the locker room. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.680 But because women weren't allowed in the locker room, I 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.839 couldn't go back there, like I couldn't do what he did. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.600 So I had to learn a whole other world on 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:53.000 the court. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880 So I ended up trying to help stand Ban Gunn, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.720 who was an assistant coach at the time, and I'd 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.240 be like, all right, well, let me help you with 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.680 the players, so be like stand right here and hold 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:01.960 this pick. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.920 And I'd learned so much about the game. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:04.600 Wow. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.720 But that's so they ended up calling me. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.560 Queen because I used to love having single and Queenland 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.480 was like my person, yes, and so I was queen 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:13.920 and I was the Queen of the court. So I 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.760 would be out there diving for loose balls like I 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.800 was in a game. I really thought I was like contributing, yes, 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.720 But it ended up being the beginning of my career 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.920 in sports and probably one of the most amazing jobs 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.440 I ever had. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:23.840 Wow. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:24.720 I love that. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.960 When you think about the drive that our generation has 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.640 that I feel like this new generation lacks. They're not 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.200 calling and writing and really going after what they want, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.000 you know. And I don't know where we lost that 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.320 in the translation of the times, but I think it's 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.839 something that is a lost art, you know, and to 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.760 really get what you want, what do you feel is 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.960 something that you could tell this younger generation really how 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.960 to go after what they want the way you did. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.480 You know, so much of it is like just not 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.200 accepting no for an answer. Yeah, And I think a 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.680 lot of it was my mom. My mom would always 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.400 say nothing mes to trial, but a failure. She's like, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.760 you can do is ask. The worst they're going to 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.800 say is no. And I realized for a lot of times, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.240 you know, if you have pride, and it was like 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.840 or the expectation that everything should come to you, so 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.760 it's like, well, you just see to give it to me. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.760 There was so much more of like she would always 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.240 say you got a kiss ass so you could kick. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.080 It, and that was like her term. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.400 And so I remember coming in as a bond kid 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.520 there or people who are incredibly disrespectful, like you know, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.440 I'm just here popping up sweat, Yeah, but I'm sitting 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.560 with you know, billionaire people behind me, or like I 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.600 remember Jimmy Buffett was behind me like every game and 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.120 I had no idea who he was, and. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.880 Like, why do people ask you for your autograph? 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.120 And one day he's like, I'm Jimmy Buffett and I was 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.280 like then I was like, oh my god. 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.200 There were so many things. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.120 Where it didn't matter who you were, like you respect 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.440 everybody regardless of you know what class you are, regardless 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.400 of what role you play. And I think that job 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.320 taught me that, and I think for this next generation, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.000 there's so much of that that needs to happen. And 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.680 there's so many examples of people who you know, did 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.480 a little bit of work and got a lot of success. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.640 Everyone wants to replicate that, but the reality is you 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.120 don't see it. And I think the social media microwave 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.839 society just shows you the highlights but not the work. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.200 Come on, I don't think we had that viewpoint. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.760 I mean there was still some to a certain degree, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.760 but you saw more of the grind. And I think 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.080 for me, I'll tell everyone, like to this day, if 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.480 someone said, hey, you gotta go mop up sweat this game, 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:22.680 I'm like, all right, and I know how to make 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.960 a mob. I'd be out there because I'm never too 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.920 far away from where I started. Yes, So, like, it 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.200 doesn't matter what stage of career you're at, you should 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:32.840 always be able to hummer yourself to go and do 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:33.320 whatever it. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.000 Takes to get the job. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.560 So I agree with that, and that's something I live 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.720 by to treat every person with respect. I don't care 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.640 what they're doing because we are never too far from that. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.720 I learned in corporate America when I started working at Turner, 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.200 they were like, you know, you always respect the assistant 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.080 and the drivers because they hold the keys to everything, 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:51.720 stuff that you. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:52.520 Don't even think about. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.440 And I was like, Wow, if you're trying to get 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.840 with any CEO or CMO and you're like, I want 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.960 time on your calendar, those are people who hold the 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.080 keys to the top and people don't. And so even 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.280 I'm interviewing people now for roles, I'll say, hey, I'll ask, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:06.880 you know, the assistant of the person that works the 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.080 front desk, how did they treat you? Yeah, because it's 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.600 not about how they treat me. They're always going to 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.240 talk up for me, but it's so much more about them. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.160 And I'm like, oh, I have a no jerk policy.

It is 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.360 so beautiful. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.800 Yes, like you guys have to get her book and 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.120 you can see some of her artwork. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:19.440 It is absolutely stunning. 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.440 I figured it may come around another time, yeah, in 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.360 my life. But you know, for now, I say that 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.280 I use my creativity to find like creative solutions to 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:28.040 business challenge. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:28.400 Yes. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.360 Yeah, so it's still like using the same muscle, but 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:31.040 in a different way. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.240 Right, Speaking of business challenges, and you talked about imposter 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:38.680 syndrome very on, very on early in your career. How 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.520 did you overcome that and what was like one of 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.240 those moments that really stand out were you literally out 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:48.960 of body experience of you experiencing imposter syndrome where you 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.720 were like, I don't belong here? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.240 What is happening? Who do you think you are? 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.040 Because these are all the thoughts that we think when 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.600 we're right where we belong, but we don't think we do. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.480 I don't even know if I just have one. There's 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.359 so many throughout my career, and I'll probably say maybe 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.199 what I started at the Hawks because you know, the 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.680 perception was, you know the CEO, I worked with him previously. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.720 He brought me in and be like, oh, you're just 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.200 here because you know him and whichever. So I really 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.400 had to come and improve myself. And I remember when 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.080 we had to onboard a new ownership team and. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.280 My boss gave me the job. It's like, Melissa, help 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:24.920 with onboarding. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.960 I don't know anyone who's onboarded and ownership team for 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.440 a professional sports organization. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.200 Like I'm like, I have no clue what them. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.080 Yeah, And it was calling other teams and asking questions 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.360 and then just figuring things out or like, Okay, they're 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.320 not from here, let's do tours, let's do this, put 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.800 these finders together, let's help educate. And by the end 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.159 of it, they were like it was such an amazing experience. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.399 He was like, you know, I'm going to promote you 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.439 to this new position, and I'm like what and so 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.120 much And what I learned in that is like, nobody 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:52.840 knows what they're doing. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.520 Come on, And it's certainly. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.200 Especially for senior level, like people think that you haven't 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.399 all figured out, like no, and I'm like, no, no 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.440 one knows, and it so freeing When you finally get 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.680 that point, He's just like, you can't mess up. It's 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.680 like you're I think COVID was a great example of 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.680 that because there are so many leaders. Everyone was figuring 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.560 it out on yes, and some people in better ways 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.959 than others. But once you get that, it's like all 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.600 you're trying to do is make the best decision for 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.440 the business. 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:16.960 That you can at the time. 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.680 For sure, through experience, it helps you understand what things 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.760 may or may not work, but that's ultimately And I 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:23.160 was like, oh. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:23.679 None of y'all know. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:25.359 Cool. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.399 If anything, I'm resourceful, I'm gonna figure something out. No, 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:30.040 for sure. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.399 Yes, what are some of the challenges that you have 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.239 faced as a woman in sports? Because we both know 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.360 that being a woman in sports it's a very male 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.920 dominated industry and you are one of the few women 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.440 that are in a high position you know. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.640 What's interesting, It's evolved so much. 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.399 Like I remember when I started with the league almost 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.840 eleven years now with the Hawks, I would go to 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.200 NBA meetings and there would be a lot of men. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.480 You know, some women, But it's so different now. 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.840 It's much more diverse seniors on the business side, even 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.480 in some of the basketball side, but definitely on the 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.639 business side, you see a lot more women presidents and 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.840 teams and things like that. Like there's an opportunity and 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.560 a lot of you can't be what you can't see. 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.240 So seeing Sint Marshall when she was, you know, leading 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.520 up the Mavericks and it's like, okay, I got it now, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.600 Like that's that's a thing, And so there's definitely opportunity. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.800 I almost see being a woman in sports as a superpower. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.679 Especially I'm like, who's buying tickets? Who do we market to? 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.560 You know, a lot of times like it's us and 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.680 that's a good thing. I mean early in my career 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.960 there were definitely times where you know, I would be 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.520 helping out and you know, working on Scott and Reports 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.160 back in the day. You know, I would do stuff 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:36.919 for the heat and number having someone tell me like 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:38.600 we don't pay you to think. We pay you to 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.600 do what we tell you to do. And that was like, Yo, 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:47.200 what I don't I don't like that. That's not necessarily 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.960 what I see from my life. But as I've grown one, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.560 I'd never forget those things. As a leader, I want 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.359 to make sure that everyone feels empowered. But as a 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.360 black woman, I mean, and you know me, I'm normally 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.840 in sweats and you know, nikes, and she got dressed 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.879 for me. I got chanted on my inner crystal. I 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.879 styled myself. But I remember when I first got promoted 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.679 the CMO, and I tell the story how I went 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.320 to go park and they have a reserve parking spaces 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.560 when you're an executive. It's like I got promoted. I'm 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.240 an executive. Now I could park in a good spot. 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.600 And so I went to park at the arena in 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.280 the reserve place for players park and security came out 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:23.840 to my car and said, excuse me, ma'am, I'm sorry, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:24.720 you can't park here. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.200 The space is reserved for executives. And I was like. 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.320 Okay, And so I had to take up my badge 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.000 and show and it said like executive on. 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.080 The body and it was a brother and he looked 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:36.320 at me. 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.960 He was so confused, like, oh, oh, all right, you know, 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.439 go ahead. But I realized in that moment, I was 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.360 changing his perspective or stereotype of what an NBA executive 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.200 looked like exactly because I got locks and nose ring 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.240 like and I'm the same all the time regardless, and 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.200 I don't think people expect that. So the number of 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.359 times where I've gone places and people just underestimate, not 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.160 just because I'm a woman, because I'm a black woman 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.680 in sports at this and this position. 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:01.880 Yeah, it's interesting. 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:03.359 But I love like when I get to talk to 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.240 youth and they're like, oh man, you're so coold. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.359 Yeah, I didn't expect that. 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.080 And I'm like, yes, it can be a regular person. 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.000 I mean I always say I'm just warming the seat. Yeah, 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.320 this job is in mind forever, you know what I mean. 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.440 And ultimately, I'm grateful for the opportunity and as many people. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:19.560 As I can help while I'm in it. I want 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:20.000 to do that. 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:22.520 I don't define myself by the job, and a lot 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:23.800 of people define me by it. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.119 Oh Melissa, how does that make you feel when you 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.040 don't define yourself by it but other people do? 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.200 So annoying. 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.840 Yeah, go outside, people like, oh yeah, that's Mlissa from 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.119 the Hawks. Hey, let me get some tickets, Hey, let 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:37.920 me get a job. Hey, I got this stay in 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:39.919 this brand. I want to promote. And I know that 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:41.600 if I didn't have this role, none of them would 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.080 be speaking to me. And I know that, and I'm 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:46.199 okay with it. But I realized when I was a turner, 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.800 a lot of people got got let go after all 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:51.760 the changes in the company. Sold a couple of times, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.239 and I saw people felt like they were going through 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.480 a divorce, like how can they do this to me? 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.120 And I'm like, it's a job. It happens. 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:03.440 But if they're whole identity is wrapped up in this position. 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.440 If they lose the position, they don't know who they are. 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:05.880 That's real. 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:07.600 I tell people today, if I was a greeter at 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:10.240 Walmart tomorrow, I would be equally as cool and still 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:10.960 very much met. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.040 You'd be the coolest greater a Walmart. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.719 You know, I'm saying, like it's all good, but I 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.320 always have to maintain that mentality. Because I can, and 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.480 because I got laid off when I was eight months pregnant, 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.080 I think now I can go to work every day 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.760 like you never know, and that's okay, and it's free 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.080 because I'm not holding onto it. That would be sad 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:30.800 because I love what I do and I love my team. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:32.680 But at the end of the day, that means God 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:34.200 has just prepared me for my next adventure. 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:34.920 Absolutely. 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:40.160 Yes, speaking of an adventure, you went to get your 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.400 master's degree in Design Studies and Branding from Central Saint 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.960 Martin's College of Art and Design at the London Institute. 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.440 It's a mouthful. It's a mouthful. Listen. 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.680 I love London. How did you end up in London? 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.080 Random story? So my mom, I mentioned, she's from Belief, 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.639 colonized by the Is. She went to nursing school in England. 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.639 Really so my entire life I heard about her friends 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.719 in York and all these things, and it wasn't like 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.119 fancy or fabulous, like if you were in Belieze, you 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.959 either were a teacher or nurse, and if you were 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.520 then you went to London for nursing school. 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:14.520 And so she did. 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.680 And I had never been to Europe my entire childhood, 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.560 and I just remember it was like a mythical place. 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.399 Yes, when she was I would see pictures of her. 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.080 She was the only black person in her class, and 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:24.440 so I would always. 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:25.520 Be like, you know, one day I'm gonna go to London. 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:25.840 Yeah. 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.960 I had family from Jamaica. My father's from Jamaica. 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.080 I have an uncle and two cousins and an aunt 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:31.880 that moved to Jamaica moved, sorry, moved from. 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:32.560 Jamaica to London. 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.000 OK. So they were like my call my British cousin, 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:37.439 and I was like, one day I'm a visit them. 0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:39.439 And I remember an undergrad at Wake that had a 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.760 study of broad programs. So I did a semester abroad. 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:43.639 The first time I got on a plane in London 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.399 and I fell in love with it. But I was 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.359 at a house with a bunch of Americans and like, we traveled, 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:50.920 you did some really cool stuff. But I didn't feel 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:55.000 like I really got like an actual experience being in 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:56.520 London because it was kind of like it was an 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:57.479 Americanized experience. 0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.119 Okay. So I said, if I can. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:00.800 Go back, I want to go to like British school, 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.000 be in a dorm, live with people from all over 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.560 the world. And so that's what I did. After I graduated, 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.520 I came to Atlanta. I worked at Turner four year 0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:09.720 and they offered me a job like six months in 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.720 and I was like, oh man, this is great opportunity, 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.040 but I really want the chance to live abroad. And 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.320 so I turned down the job and I got into 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.320 the program in London, so one year master's degree, and 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:22.440 so I literally went as an excuse to live abroad 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.240 and have that opportunity, and so I couldn't do it. 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.119 And what I realized then if you didn't have the 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.000 amount of money you needed for the year in your 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.200 bank account, they won't let you go. So it wasn't 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:34.800 like you can get financial aid and all of that. 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.080 So I needed twenty thousand dollars and I was like, 0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:39.639 how am I going to have I get it. One 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:41.520 of my colleagues at the time was like, why don't 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:43.679 you just ask for it? So I made some proposals 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:45.440 and I was like, I'll give my artwork, or I'll 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:47.680 just be a great citizen, give me something thousand dollars. 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:49.840 It was the year the All Star Game was in Atlanta, 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:51.879 so I was mopping up sweat for the game and 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.800 I was shopping it around, gave it to players, you know, anybody, 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.080 family members, and ultimately it. 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:58.600 Was Tim Hardaway, one of the players that I need 0:24:58.640 --> 0:24:59.520 for my days. 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:01.720 He was like, you know, my wife and I sorry proposal, 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:03.119 We really believe in you. 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.159 You know, here is the father, Tim Hardaway. 0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:05.600 Yeah. 0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.960 What So when I was a ball room for the Heat, 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.359 I like worked Tim Junior's birthday party. 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.040 I was a ball girl. He was like, hey, can 0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:15.239 you come help out of the party. I'm like, oh, 0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.240 I'm going to Hardaway's house. It was like can you 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.879 carry this ice? And in his budget? I was like 0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:20.560 all right. 0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.160 But from then they were like family to me. So 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.199 he's like, my wife and I have always believed in you. 0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:25.800 We love you. 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:27.760 And I was like, well, I'll pay it back over time. 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:29.760 He was like, pay it forward and it was the 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.520 biggest blessing. And so that's what got me to London 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:36.720 and it was amazing, awesome program, great friends that I made, 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.000 lifelong friends from my experience now going to school in 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.719 England coming back like, I wouldn't trade it, and I'm 0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:44.480 so glad I did it at that stage of life. 0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.960 So you were a mother at this point, you hadn't 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.959 had Remember you were turning you This is way back. 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:52.280 Okay. I was going to ask how as you manage that? 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:53.960 But wow, I don't know. 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:55.439 That's that's a whole other. 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.600 World, right, that's crazy and similar to you, I've always 0:25:58.720 --> 0:25:59.800 wanted to study a bride. 0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.320 I feel like the British actors are the best. 0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.680 So when we went on strike a few years ago, 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:08.720 I remember I started I'm always like a solution oriented person, 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.000 not like, oh what are we doing? 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.280 What's happening? How can I make the most of this time? 0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.200 So I started looking up different schools that I could 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.239 go to to do like intensive courses in London. And 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.399 I remember I was totaler what I wanted to do 0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.399 and he was like, oh, he was like, I wouldn't 0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:23.919 do it. He was like, only because this strike is 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:25.920 going to be over before you know it. Well it wasn't. 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:27.919 It was not over before we knew it. And I 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.160 was like, dang it, I should have went. But it's 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:31.719 one of those things where I still want to do that. 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.439 That's still a dream of mine. Yeah, totally, I do. 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.440 I want that experience of studying abroad. I just I remember. 0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:40.119 It so vividly because I got to like feel like 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.200 I was immersed in it. Yeah. First I was like, okay, 0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:43.720 you're in, you're out, but it was like, you know, 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.200 getting the bus and going to the markets for groceries 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:49.680 and making friends and like it was such a great time. 0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:51.240 I think I was maybe like twenty five. 0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.560 Wow, So it was a good Yes, I'm sure that 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:55.640 helped shape you as well. 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.639 Something about moving away from home that really does a 0:26:58.640 --> 0:26:59.560 lot of shaping for me. 0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:00.600 It was why Washington, DC? 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.200 You were London, And I know those moments definitely shape 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:04.920 me for sure. 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:07.080 Yeah, when you. 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:10.080 Think about your leadership style, what are some of the 0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:12.760 core principles that anger every big decision that. 0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:13.400 You have to make. 0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.320 You know, from a work perspective, I always think of 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:17.879 my values. 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:19.960 Yeah, I go back to my why, and I'll tell 0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:20.280 the team. 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.199 So we even explaining like why we're doing things like 0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.920 just don't rush through it, like explain how we got 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.439 there and the why. And so when it comes to 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:29.520 like business decisions, a lot of it is like focusing 0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.400 on the what are we doing, What do we need 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.760 as orientation? What to the fancy, what does the community need? 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.760 Which is important when it comes to personal decisions. I 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:39.520 talk a lot about in my book as well about 0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.879 my guiding principles. Yeah, like people ask you yes instead 0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:46.879 of like my career and that's a different one, and 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.240 I think at some point in my career, I remember 0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.400 I wanted to be in branding. I'd gone to grad 0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:54.480 school in London to focus on brand strategy. 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:55.159 I love branding. 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.040 I want to learn more about it. And I think 0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:00.399 I was maybe twenty six. I'd come back to Monday 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:01.760 and I worked for a couple of years at a 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.159 job and then I finally maybe I was like twenty eight, 0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.480 I got a branding jobs Rectro brand strategy. 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.840 I got to rebrand cour TV to true TV Wow, 0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:09.600 and I was like. 0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.600 Oh man, this is cool. Yeah, I got to work 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.359 on it. But when I got the brand job, I 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:15.240 was like, what's next? Do I retire? 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.000 Like what are we going to do? 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.439 And so I had to kind of redefine what, you know, 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.199 success kind of looked like to me. And at that 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:24.760 point I had a lot of mentors that were like, 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:26.720 you know, you should really create your guiding principles for 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:27.680 your life and your career. 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.879 What should that be? And I never really thought of it. 0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.080 So I took some time to you know, ask these 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:34.760 questions of like, you know, what would I do if 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:36.600 you know for free? 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:38.400 You know, what is my superpower? 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.840 What things do I dislike, despise, what. 0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:42.320 Keeps me up? 0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:43.520 And I had all these things and I kind of 0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.000 land that I call my starting five and almost like 0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.320 the filter that I use for every decision that I make, 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.360 both personally and professionally. And so one is, you know, 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:54.880 I have the ability to both be really creative, like 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:57.400 with the art, but also strategic from a business sense. 0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:01.080 And I've had business strategy jobs I hated, so it 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:02.920 was all strategy and there was no creativity. 0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:03.760 And I had all. 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.960 Creative jobs, like I mentioned that the art job, which 0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:07.719 at first I liked, and I was like, that's not 0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:09.600 for me either. But my superpower is when I can 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.640 bring both of those together. And this role is very 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.600 creative and strategic business wise. 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.040 I think that's why I thrive in it. 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.080 The second is I get bored real easily, Like if 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:21.480 I can do it in my sleep, I don't want 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.720 to do it. And so I'll always say that I 0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.920 want to be adding more tools to my personal toolbox. 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:27.520 I was an agency of one. 0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.680 What new capability am I adding to my capabilities presentations? 0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.200 So anything that I do, if I could already do 0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:34.680 it before I start, I don't need to be doing it. 0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:38.360 The third is my mom was not the best with 0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:39.200 money growing up. 0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:41.400 You know what it was like step. 0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.000 Getting cut off or bill collectors calling, and I said, 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:46.200 whatever I do, want to pay my bills on time 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.960 or ahead of time was the goal. Then after I 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.080 had my daughter, was thinking about generational you know what's building, 0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:54.680 like what can I do for her long term or 0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:58.480 you know, I'm not leaving her in debt. My fourth 0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.080 is some sense of like work life harmony. I don't 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.400 think there's ever balance. You know, we both work really hard. 0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:05.280 Harmony is a good way to put harmony. You know, 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.160 sometimes you got to work really hard, sometimes you got 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:07.680 to live really hard. 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.120 They a great way, yes, And making sure that. 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.200 I'm always in a position where I'm able to do 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:15.360 that when I can, especially with my daughter, like being 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:16.840 able to spend time with her when she needs it. 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:17.480 That's important. 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.560 And then the last one is authenticity because how I 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.640 am right now, If I am no matter where you 0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:25.520 see me in any environment, trap house, at the White House, 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:27.960 like this is going to be what she is. 0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:29.600 And so those are like. 0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:33.320 My starting five and every decision I've made, I ladder 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:34.760 it up to those and I'm like, does it check 0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.040 these boxes? And if it does, it's something that I 0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:38.280 know that I would be happy with. 0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:38.880 Love. 0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.080 So even from a professional sense, people have. 0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:43.440 Come with opportunities and say, hey, how would you like 0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:46.800 this opportunity, I can very easily say, well, can you 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.280 handle these five things? These can be met. We can 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.320 have a conversation and it's not that's cool mm hmm. 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.760 I love that guiding principles. I'm going to take that on. 0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.720 I got to find out with my starting five and. 0:30:58.800 --> 0:30:59.640 It can evolve. 0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:01.280 But I think it's so much of who you are 0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:04.040 at your core. YEA, that like that's important. Like another 0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.480 one now is Atlanta. You know, I had had opportunities 0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.600 to leave Atlanta and my daughter was like, uh uh, 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.880 I'm not leaving Atlanta, and so I I'd love to 0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:16.080 travel and yeah, you go places. And so at some point, 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:20.040 like another opportunity came and she was like no, Mom, 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:21.440 And I said, you know what, you didn't ask to 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.600 be here. Yes, And if I could do anything by 0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.440 just having you stay here because you love this as 0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:28.320 your own, I can make that sacrifice. So like a 0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.880 silent six is being in Atlanta. If it's work related, ya, 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:35.160 that's important personally. Yeah, speaking of motherhood, you are an 0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:35.960 amazing mom. 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:40.280 And Marley, when I tell you she is true to 0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.640 herself is so so baby. When I tell you she's 0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.640 very matter of fact, she is not fake. No, Like 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:50.640 I love that child. She was like, you did a 0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:52.440 really good job. I would say, she's so the truth. 0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:54.960 Sometimes I'm like a little less truth, little less true. 0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:58.040 Bring it back, bring it back right. When you talk 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:02.320 about work, life, harm and having a child, how do 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.959 you find harmony with everything that you have going on? 0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:07.920 I see you bring her the game, sometimes against her will. 0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.320 Sometimes sometimes she doesn't, like I do not want to 0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:12.760 do you understand who your mother is? 0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:16.400 She eats, she's ready to go. That is her. That 0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:17.160 is so funny. 0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:18.840 But how do you find harmony and everything that she 0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:20.000 have going on with the motherhood? 0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:23.080 You know, she is my first priority, and I'll tell 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:26.200 everyone if I have to leave because she just started volleyball. 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.080 She tells all her friends that her parents forced her 0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.320 to pick a sport, and I was like, okay, you 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:36.760 picked this one right.

Like I went to your facility and we're 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:14.880 actually going to go there too. But I went to 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:20.280 the facility and it was absolutely amazing, next level, like futuristic, amazing. 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:20.840 Thank you. 0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:21.160 Yeah. 0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:24.280 And so myself and not my business partner, doctor Trevor Turner, 0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.400 we opened up a wellness center in Atlanta and Buckhead 0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:31.080 and it's all around longevity and like orthopedics, but really, 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.640 how can you live as well as you can for 0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:34.600 as long as you can? 0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:34.919 Yes? 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.279 And having all of these different modalities or services that 0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:38.120 we offer to do that. 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.480 And you know, I was experienced wellness. 0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.240 My mom was a nurse, as I mentioned, an orthopedic 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.640 nurse iron and you know, someone brought an idea to 0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.160 me around like hey, how do we you know, could 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.279 we do something like this?

I wouldn't have known about it 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.880 if it wasn't for you, So thank you for not 0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:26.600 being silent. 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.880 Well, you know, and I'm you know, God put you 0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:31.560 in places where you did it like this was never 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:34.840 my This was not my idea to be where I 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.000 am as a part of this business. But you know, 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.960 things changed and it made it so that was the opportunity. 0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:41.560 And I was like, there's clearly a reason, and I'm 0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:43.000 going to walk in it and you know, to the 0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.040 best I can as this vessel. Yeah, and so it's 0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.560 amazing because now we just had an open house on 0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:50.520 Saturday and people came in and we learned about we 0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.800 have IV therapy, we have an AI robotic massage table 0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:56.480 which it's called Escape. 0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:57.160 People love it. 0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.959 Oh, literally this robots giving you a massage. They learned 0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:03.919 all the different massage techniques and I mean I've done 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:05.479 it a bunch of times and I'm like, it really 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:08.640 is good. It is in ways that you're like, oh, I. 0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.680 Didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing. I 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:11.839 felt really good after words. 0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:13.360 Relax. It is. 0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.000 And so even as an owner in Pravida, you know, 0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:18.560 I decided to invest in an executive physical because it's 0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:21.000 very much what it's kind of the crux of everything 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.200 that we do. Get all this data about yourself, whether 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:26.720 it's genomics, whether it's your gut health, understanding what vitamins 0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.040 you're deficient in, and not just taking random supplements, but 0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:32.320 taking supplements that really are for you based on your deficiency. 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.680 I love that you all do the IVY cocktail. 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.480 Yeah, all the vitamins that you need, not just pumping 0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:38.600 you with random stuff. 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:40.360 And then for people that may not want IVS, we 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.080 have a partnership with Vitamin Labs. We'll make supplement packets 0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:45.920 for you, personalized below what you need. You have an 0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:48.640 amazing head of imaging and so we have a Texa 0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:50.560 scanner that tells you about your bone density. 0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.840 Oh I did that. I had the bones of a 0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:54.319 thirty year old. Okay. 0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:59.840 He was like, you don't have any there's no like, no, yeah, 0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:00.880 none of that in your future. 0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.160 I was like, come on, lord, you know, but there's 0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:04.960 so many things about yourself you don't know. 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:07.600 So as a part of our executive physical Word Pernuvo partner, 0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:10.040 if you've see in Perneuvo you get a full body 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:11.440 MRI and I just didn't. 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:11.799 Coming to do that. 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:14.480 I wanted I've been wanted to do that because that 0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:16.719 was something that the wealthy was doing to kind of 0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:18.920 get ahead of cancer or know their ailment. 0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:20.080 You have stage one cancer. 0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.000 Some people may have brain aneurysms and walk around and 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:26.000 be unaware. And so the idea of preventative health is 0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.359 something that you know, in America, we're just so used 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:31.440 to reactionary. Time has to go wrong, it's really then 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.440 you're then you're sick, and now you're in the system 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:35.799 trying to get well. Yeah, and so for us, the 0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:39.400 whole idea of prevention and they can it personalized. 0:37:38.719 --> 0:37:41.600 To you is really really where we are and then predictive. 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:43.560 So a lot of it is the data and ultimately, 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:45.840 if you come in and you you know, use our services, 0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:46.160 you know. 0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.520 More about yourself than your primary care positional. Yeah, that's amazing. 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:49.959 It's crazy. 0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:51.960 I did not know my mother passed away from a 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.160 brain aneurysm. I had no idea those skins would actually 0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:59.560 help with that too, because I had before. Probably I 0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:01.399 haven't had lately, and I don't know if it's because 0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:04.480 of like work stress when I'm working, like when I'm 0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:05.320 filming and stuff. 0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.759 But I was having these really bad dizzy spells and. 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.640 I was like, because when people can have brain amurges 0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:15.520 and not even know it, that's literally crazy, no idea. Yeah, 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.839 and I know it's not hereditary, but like to hear 0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:21.399 that this can actually let me know like what's going 0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:22.680 on there in my brain as well. 0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:24.600 I definitely got to do it now. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.319 Yeah, I mean and doctor Turner is phenomenal and then 0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:27.680 so much. 0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:30.480 I mean, people we talked about like shoulder injuries.

Thank you. 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:47.920 Happy to be here, Happy to bring my key to 0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.359 positive city community here so we can learn more about 0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:53.799 Pavida Health. Super excited for my dear friend Melissa, and 0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:55.880 excited to show them everything you guys have to offer 0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.800 because it is definitely next level futuristic. 0:39:58.840 --> 0:39:59.680 That's why I was telling her. 0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:03.120 I was like, it's just a futuristic experience. So excited 0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:04.360 to see all you guys have to offer. 0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:05.600 Cool, let's do it. 0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:06.560 Let's get it a lot. 0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:10.080 So as we come back through this store, past the 0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:13.880 massage room, you're gonna see two kind of large medical 0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:15.000 interventions on the right. 0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:16.080 First one over. 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:19.160 Here is a table we use for diagnostics called dexa 0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.320 scanner for the ability to tell you about bone density, 0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:26.560 which is huge, especially as females age. We really focus 0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:30.600 on the prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis, which is a 0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:33.800 major factor on how well people are moving and continue 0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:35.440 to move by avoiding fractures and. 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:36.000 Their hipp ands. 0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:41.160 Fine that the bones, Yes, it's like you're probably yeah, 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:44.040 you're blessed of good habits and probably good genetics as well. 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:44.279 Ye. 0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:49.799 That leads us to the next port, which is body composition. 0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:53.040 So DEX is the gold standard for body composition, which 0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.719 is great. It tells us not just about where your 0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:58.480 muscle is and where your fat is, but also about 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:00.520 a hidden piece of fat that you can't see on 0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:04.600 the surface called visceral adipose, which is the fat around 0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:08.960 your organs, which almost acts like a hormone that secretes information. 0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:11.640 And so we always pay attention to how much fat 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.879 and how much muscle people have so that they can 0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:17.480 be resilient in age in a healthy way. But making 0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:19.440 sure that we don't have a lot of fat around 0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:22.520 organs is really really critical, and we would treat patients 0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.040 differently depending on if there was a lot or a. 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:25.640 Little of that. 0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:29.520 So as we move kind of past that room, if 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.799 you look over here on the left side, this machine. 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.760 You may have seen an ICU before. It's called a 0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:40.400 TPE or therapeutic plasma exchange. And we've got emerging data 0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.799 now that shows there's no other tool in medicine that 0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:49.920 really reduces mold, heavy metals, pesticide, srbosides, and now microplastics 0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:53.520 all together in a single session. We have some patients 0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:56.239 who are coming because there was an Italian study that 0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:59.520 showed you could reduce cognitive decline and like, for me, 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:01.800 in my face, that's really important. I had a grandfather 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:04.240 with Alzheimer's grandmother. 0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:08.000 Yeah, when we talk about microplastics, there's a lot of 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:12.279 studies around drinking from plastic bottles and even microwaving plastics. 0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:14.839 Is that the type of microplastics that you're talking about? 0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.960 Details removed, Yes, And we're finding that they're hidden in 0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:20.439 places maybe we wouldn't even expect. So I could ask 0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:22.480 for a paper cup, but it turns out the paper 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.440 cup is lined with plastic on the inside. So and 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.520 even if I ask for a glass bottle, I heard 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:30.200 it about the plastic all the cap right, So I 0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:34.360 heard that exactly, and we to what extent those cause disease. 0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:37.520 We're just scratching the surface. But I'll give you one example. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.520 When we do heart surgery and we take plaques out 0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:44.200 of people's heart, we're finding that microplastics are embedded in 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.600 some of those plaques. So the degree to which they 0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:50.320 cause either disease that we don't think about or disrupt hormones, 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:52.719 et cetera, those are things that we're still studying and 0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:55.080 learning about in medicine, but I think a lot of 0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.080 people are becoming more attuned to how significant they really 0:42:58.160 --> 0:42:58.400 may be. 0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.680 Yeah, so what is there prices? You draw the blood out, 0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:02.959 it go through. 0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:05.719 So this would be staffed by a nurse who's done 0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:07.759 this a bunch of times and is excellent because she 0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:08.360 stuck me in. 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:10.520 She did a great job. Was a painless insertion. 0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:13.440 But you get two big ivs started, and so one 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.400 of those ivs would take out your blood in your plasma. 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.400 It would filter out the dirty plasma with all the 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:22.120 inflammatory factors in it, and then it would put your 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:29.200 blood back into your body and the same basically procedure. Okay, 0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:36.239 got it. Yeah, I'd like this experience, so have I. 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:38.719 But we had a patient who came in Actually he 0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:41.879 wore VR goggles the whole time, so he just hung 0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.080 out for a couple hours and got his TPE and 0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:44.680 then took off. 0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:45.919 Deal. 0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:50.279 There's no real yeah, and no real recovery time associated 0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:53.279 with it, but you know, I would say afterwards, I 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:55.239 kind of felt like I did a hard workout, so 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.279 really Yeah, So I took one night off and I 0:43:57.320 --> 0:43:59.360 was back in the gym the next day. 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.560 Good time. Yeah. Yeah. 0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.720 As we keep moving this way, you'll see this semi 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:10.160 region hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen kind of became known 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:13.560 for treating divers who had injuries that stayed. 0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:14.640 Down too long under the ocean. 0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:18.759 Yeah. I supervised the chamber in Florida years ago, and 0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:21.640 then we got interested in it because it improves wound 0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:24.359 heealing really well. So for me, if I'm doing any 0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:28.040 kind of orthopedic procedure for a patient, or especially here 0:44:28.040 --> 0:44:31.040 for our skincare patients, if they come to get chemical 0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:33.680 peels or micro needling or maybe a filler of botox, 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:37.279 being able to push oxygen under some pressure underneath the 0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:40.359 skin while you have a quote fresh wound a lot 0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:43.280 of times enhances your outcomes, And so we pay attention 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:45.759 to that because we always say there's a good way 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:47.600 to treat patients. There's a better way, and there's a 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:49.640 best way, and really what we're trying to do. 0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.799 Is give everybody the best way every time they come in. Yeah, 0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:53.680 as we. 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:57.280 Keep moving to the side, there's an IV therapy suite. 0:44:57.880 --> 0:44:59.920 You probably familiar with IV therapy because there's a lot 0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:03.480 places that do it. One thing that's unique about how 0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:06.200 we do it is every IV a patient gets here 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:09.520 is a prescription from me, and that that prescription is 0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:12.240 really based on your unique micronutrient profile. 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:13.920 So that means the kind of. 0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:16.040 IV you're getting is going to be different from what 0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:18.600 I would get or molistaly because it's going to be 0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:22.800 tailored to your specific physiology, right, and we prevete on 0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.960 the mission as always personalization, So we want you to 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.560 have the most effective IV you could get every time 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:30.279 if you. 0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:31.800 Have a need for that type of therapy. 0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:35.040 Okay, And then as we keep moving down the way, 0:45:35.080 --> 0:45:37.759 we have this kind of very bright light fancy room 0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:41.719 which is aesthetics are done. My room is as a 0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:44.200 little more basic as we as we're doing ORTHO, it's 0:45:44.200 --> 0:45:48.120 a little more straightforward. But this device is called a fluoroscope, 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:51.040 and so if we have to do an advanced procedure 0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:55.239 for somebody's spine or joints. This giant sea allows you 0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:58.160 to rotate around the body and that allows me to 0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.799 capture essentially a three dimensional picture. So it enables me 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.040 to be very very safe in the event that I 0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:06.400 need to do a procedure. It also enables me to 0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:10.000 be highly accurate. So anytime we want to treat something, 0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:12.279 it needs to be guided by an image so we 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:12.880 know that we're. 0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:13.720 Hitting the right target. 0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:18.960 So we do have a source of doing that without radiation, 0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.440 and that is this big ultrasound machine that you see 0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:24.680 over here. I use ultrasound for a couple of other 0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.759 purposes to diagnose as well. So a lot of us 0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.440 sometimes think that the best way to get a picture 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:33.520 done is to get an MRI, and MRIs are great 0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:37.359 for some things, but there's still pictures. And so if 0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:40.600 a patient comes in, sometimes they'll say I'm hurting. I'm hurting, 0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:42.640 and I had an MRI and it said I was normal, 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:45.080 And so I'll say, well, let me put the ultrasound 0:46:45.160 --> 0:46:47.959 probe on your shoulder or whatever it is and watch 0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:51.000 you actually move. And sometimes we pick up on things 0:46:51.000 --> 0:46:53.200 that we would miss with a still picture, like an MRI, 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.560 so ultrasound gives us an advantage in that regard. And 0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:59.040 then you know, we have a tech come in once 0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.800 a week, and nice thing about that is she's trained 0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:07.040 to do heart, liver, kidney, breast overy, pelvis, prostate, et cetera. So, 0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.400 especially if someone's coming in here to get surveillance for 0:47:10.440 --> 0:47:13.560 any kind of hormone replacement therapy, we can look at 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:17.320 all the quote risk factors and really minimize them however possible. 0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:17.759 Right. 0:47:17.880 --> 0:47:21.680 Yeah, I recently went and got a breast exam, did 0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:23.799 the normal exam, and they called me back for a 0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.200 second look, and it was the ultrasound that they were 0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:27.440 able to really get a good look. 0:47:27.480 --> 0:47:29.080 So I understand what you're saying, So let me take 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:29.719 the ultrasound. 0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:31.319 Yeah, I have to help you get a better look 0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:31.840 into things. 0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.960 Yeah, And in the United States, I think approximately forty 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:38.120 percent of women have done spreast tissue that requires ultra 0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:41.239 something and they all get callbacks. And of course, when 0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:42.680 you're in the patient and you go get a scan 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:46.200 done and they call you back, it makes you nervous. 0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:50.160 Right an, I was filming when I got that callback, 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:52.919 So on top of like the anxiety and pressures of work. 0:47:52.960 --> 0:47:55.759 Then it's also like do I have cancer? You know, 0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.080 and it's never the call that you want to get. 0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:01.160 But as a patient was also like, why don't you 0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:03.640 just give if you know I have bitsbruash tissues, just 0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:05.800 give me an ultrasound instead of taking me through all. 0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:11.880 That, right right? So yeah, so we do use ultrasound 0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:12.279 for that. 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.040 And then and then there are some patients who let's 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.600 say they have a family history of a particular kind 0:48:17.600 --> 0:48:20.120 of cancer or let's say an aneurysm or something that's 0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:24.200 otherwise hard to detect. We will offer them. We have 0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:26.560 a contract with Pernuvo so they can go get full 0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:28.160 body MRIs for surveillance. 0:48:28.920 --> 0:48:31.719 I just learned that. I knew that you could find 0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:35.279 out if you may have cancer in any stage with 0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:38.360 the Pernuvo scanning. But my mother passed away from a 0:48:38.440 --> 0:48:41.680 brain aneurysm. So when she told me today, I was like, Okay, 0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:42.960 I really need to get it because I don't know 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:46.120 you could also see that if I've had an aneurysm before, 0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:47.440 that's crazy. 0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.000 We have actually a patient in our practice is signed 0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:52.759 up as a member, had a similar story. You know, 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:56.239 her mother had passed for that and actually found a 0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.239 really really tiny one. Right, But now she knows and 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:01.600 at least she has the opportunity to do something about 0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:06.080 it before it becomes severe. Right, So very much about 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:09.480 empowering people with data. The more data you have, I think, 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:11.840 the better you can prepare and make better decisions. 0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:17.560 Absolutely that all right, Doug. 0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:21.120 This is my favorite part. One of my favorite parts 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:23.799 of your facility is the escape massage. 0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:27.080 This thing is is crazy. I don't think people are ready. 0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:29.560 We were very proud to roll this out. So we're 0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:31.359 our first people in Georgia to have one. 0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:33.200 So today we have big fella. 0:49:33.320 --> 0:49:34.000 He is in here. 0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:40.200 He is about to get a massage. Are you guys ready? Hey, 0:49:40.200 --> 0:49:47.920 big fella, it's so funny. 0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:51.160 We are all right. 0:49:51.800 --> 0:49:53.839 So they're going to show you how this is done. 0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:57.399 Because you're hear of the shot. There you go, never 0:49:57.440 --> 0:50:01.760 took it back to the camera, bright, All right, keep. 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:02.320 All of that. 0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:06.440 He's gonna give you. 0:50:06.960 --> 0:50:12.600 Is gonna give you a tutorial, alrighty. So you already 0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:14.960 have your clothes on, which are perfect. You'll lay on 0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:17.120 the table on your stomach and your face will go 0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:19.560 in the face rest. Once you get on the table, 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.120 there's gonna be a full onboarding process for you because 0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:25.560 it's as welcome with it'll do a body scan. You 0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:28.200 can change the bolster setting, the headdress, and the arm 0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:30.359 rest setting, all with the touch of a button. You 0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:33.160 can change the pressure, the music that plays, and even 0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:39.319 the video that plays on screen. All right, no problem. 0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:43.440 Yeah, So, because we capture so much data on each patient, 0:50:44.200 --> 0:50:46.920 typically we use a screen like this that enables us 0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:50.160 to put all the things up at one time, and 0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:55.239 that makes it easily more understood and visualize so that 0:50:55.360 --> 0:50:57.680 you don't leave thinking, well, gosh, they told me so 0:50:57.760 --> 0:50:58.520 many things and. 0:50:58.480 --> 0:50:59.719 Now I've lost right. 0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.560 So you can see a bunch of different kinds of data, 0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.640 and we call this concept to the digital twin. So 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:07.680 if you look up here, there's two different sets of 0:51:07.800 --> 0:51:10.360 DNA on the far left side we would typically get. 0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:13.080 One is the DNA that you would use from your 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:15.160 saliva and that's what your mom and dad gave you, 0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.160 and the other is actually the DNA of the little 0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.640 microbes that inhabit your colon, and we call that the microbiome. 0:51:22.280 --> 0:51:24.960 There's been a lot of evidence about how the interaction 0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:28.560 between the bugs that live in your gut affect your 0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:31.799 immune system and your brain in particular, and so we 0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:33.960 use that as a way to stratify risk. We do 0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:37.279 draw blood and look at micro nutrients. So anybody who 0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:40.359 gets a medicine or a supplement here is getting it 0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:42.839 because we test it in such a way that we 0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:44.520 know your unique. 0:51:44.239 --> 0:51:45.799 Prescription is unique to you. 0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:48.480 We do get exercise data and so you see that 0:51:48.520 --> 0:51:50.840 guy on the bike that's called Yu. 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:55.520 No, I gotta do it again. 0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:58.120 Great, it's just well, we'll have to get the music 0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:01.640 a little more hardcore. But yeah, So that tells us 0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:04.120 about how well you breathe in oxygen, how well you 0:52:04.160 --> 0:52:06.040 pump it to your muscles, and then how well your. 0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:07.240 Muscles use it. 0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:09.440 And it used to be we used votwo max for 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.680 athletes who are trying to win races. But we also 0:52:12.800 --> 0:52:16.520 found that for like during COVID, for example, if you 0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:18.799 wanted to be the person who is super sick and 0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:20.879 you wanted to get out of the hospital and get 0:52:20.880 --> 0:52:23.560 off a ventilator, well, it turns out having a higher 0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:27.200 VO two max predicted your survivability in a better way. 0:52:27.719 --> 0:52:30.360 So on the one hand, it's applicable to pro athletes, 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:33.719 but on the other hand, it's applical for everybody, Yeah, 0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:35.839 who wants to just have a good quality of life 0:52:35.840 --> 0:52:36.719 and a good health span. 0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:38.600 Can I ask you something treating our COVID. 0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:42.440 Have you noticed a rise in people with breathing issues 0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:46.799 after COVID? Because I know, for me, I'm implementing like 0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:49.920 running into my workout schedule now or workout regimen now, 0:52:50.760 --> 0:52:53.000 and for a while, like I could barely like keep up. 0:52:53.040 --> 0:52:54.160 I was like cutting it off. 0:52:54.239 --> 0:52:55.160 I was like, this is too much. 0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:58.640 Just even breathing was hard, and even with singing, like 0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:00.560 I can't hold my breath for as long as I 0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:03.359 used to. And I'm wondering if COVID had any type 0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:04.279 of implications on that. 0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:08.440 We've definitely seen some patients have longer term pulmonary scarring, 0:53:08.640 --> 0:53:10.920 some little scars on the end side of their lungs, 0:53:11.120 --> 0:53:13.920 depending on how they responded in the severity of the 0:53:13.920 --> 0:53:17.759 disease they had. But you can train that, right, So 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:20.600 the important part is one recognizing it. And it sounds 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:23.120 like you have some insight because you're working out all 0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:23.719 the time, so. 0:53:23.680 --> 0:53:24.760 You notice the difference. 0:53:24.920 --> 0:53:27.000 Yeah, right, But then we could test for it, and 0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:30.200 we could program the way that you work out in 0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:33.359 such a way to optimize how much volume you take 0:53:33.360 --> 0:53:35.880 in and out when you breathe and hopefully get you 0:53:35.920 --> 0:53:37.920 past that limitation so you don't notice it. 0:53:38.400 --> 0:53:39.879 Yeah, it's a lot better now, but I know it's 0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.200 like the last two minutes of my move today, my 0:53:42.239 --> 0:53:44.520 heart was like it felt almost like constricted, like it 0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:46.120 was like like it hurt. 0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:48.879 I was like, well, we'll book your VIA two next test. 0:53:48.960 --> 0:53:53.000 Nice whatever you're yeah. 0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:53.600 Yeah. 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:55.600 So we do use images, which we talked about a 0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:58.719 little bit. So you see the dexa scan here, ultrasound 0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:01.040 that we talked about over here, and the way we're 0:54:01.120 --> 0:54:03.920 using ultrasound is typically to get an actual picture of 0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:04.759 the inside of. 0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:05.680 Your blood vessels. 0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:09.000 So you know, you draw a cholesterol panel and it's like, well, 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:11.160 maybe you got black in your arter ease. Maybe you don't, 0:54:11.239 --> 0:54:13.720 we don't really know, but if you take a picture 0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:16.040 of it actually look inside, we can be very confident 0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:19.239 and then the discussion about how we minimize cardiac risk 0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:23.000 becomes much better informed. And you see the whole body 0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:25.640 MRI over here on the right side, which we talked about. 0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:28.400 And we do use some data for wearables. 0:54:28.400 --> 0:54:31.840 So for example, I think Melissa's wearing a glucose monitor 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:35.560 right now, Melissa is not a diabetic, but we're learning 0:54:35.600 --> 0:54:38.000 about the kinds of food she eats and the order 0:54:38.040 --> 0:54:40.359 in which she eats, and how it affects how you 0:54:40.400 --> 0:54:43.759 release glucose and insulin and how you recover from workouts. 0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:46.120 So we find a lot of meaning from that data. 0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:48.839 And when you put it all together, Really the goal 0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:51.879 is that you know so much now about your individual 0:54:51.920 --> 0:54:54.600 physiology you become the master of them. 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:55.880 Right. Yeah. 0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:59.200 And there was a paper published related to microbiome called 0:54:59.200 --> 0:55:00.600 the American Gut Project. 0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:03.000 There's a term they used in that paper. 0:55:02.760 --> 0:55:05.759 Called citizens scient Test, and I was like, well, I 0:55:05.800 --> 0:55:09.000 want every patient who comes in the store to become 0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:12.120 a citizen scient test because when they're informed by that 0:55:12.200 --> 0:55:14.800 kind of data, you can make the best decisions for yourself. 0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:17.640 Well, this has been amazing, very informative. I'm glad we 0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:20.960 got to come and share your facility with people. I 0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:23.359 think the older I get, the more I am being 0:55:23.400 --> 0:55:25.680 more cognizant of my health and making sure I'm taking 0:55:25.680 --> 0:55:29.719 the proper steps. And especially with this last demonstration, it 0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:33.160 shows you so much. I recently went to the doctor 0:55:33.200 --> 0:55:35.359 because every time I go for my annual I get 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:37.680 blood taken to like around nine panels of blood taken 0:55:37.719 --> 0:55:40.040 to really see what's going on when I'm defishing in 0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:42.440 and came back. 0:55:42.239 --> 0:55:43.760 That I was borderline diabetic. 0:55:44.760 --> 0:55:46.720 Yes, so when you said you're in the Glue Coast monitor, 0:55:46.760 --> 0:55:48.759 I was like, hmm, that may be something I need 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:51.200 to do as well, just to make sure that those 0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:57.200 levels are changing. I recently took on fasting this month 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:03.040 and I was doing a sixteen to eight or yes, yes, 0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:05.880 six to eighteen yeah, in a manifesting windows so eighteen 0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:07.680 hours I'm not eating, and then up from twelve to 0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:11.359 six I'll eat. I wanted to ask you how sustainable 0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:13.440 is it? Can that be a lifestyle or is that 0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:15.040 something that you shouldn't try to do. 0:56:15.680 --> 0:56:18.200 No, I think it's been sustainable for a lot of people. 0:56:19.320 --> 0:56:19.640 For me. 0:56:20.200 --> 0:56:22.440 You know, we use like and Melissa know something called 0:56:22.480 --> 0:56:25.920 a fasting mimicking diet, which is like a five day protocol. 0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:29.839 We see other people who do twelve twelves. We see 0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:33.120 people who do other intervals besides sixteen eight. I've had 0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:36.000 people do one meal a day, which I would not 0:56:36.040 --> 0:56:39.000 be good at doing, but some people really like that, right, 0:56:39.120 --> 0:56:40.919 So I do think. 0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:42.880 There's a lot of data to support that. And if 0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:44.680 you find that it fits your lifestyle. 0:56:44.840 --> 0:56:47.120 I have found that I have so much energy. I 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:48.960 don't know what that is on it's come resting more. 0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:49.680 I'm going to bed. 0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:52.279 Earlier and waking up earlier and making sure I work 0:56:52.280 --> 0:56:52.959 out every day. 0:56:53.360 --> 0:56:55.200 But this is my second week, and. 0:56:55.200 --> 0:56:59.240 Normally around twelve one o'clock or even like around sometimes 0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:02.400 around at two three o'clock window, I'll feel a crash coming. 0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.680 And I have not felt that in this past two weeks. 0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.279 I used to joke around saying it was nap time 0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:10.399 like that when we were. 0:57:10.600 --> 0:57:12.359 In school where we have to go to sleep. 0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:13.840 I was like, maybe this is just kind of carried 0:57:13.880 --> 0:57:16.120 on into adulthood. But I feel like it was my 0:57:16.160 --> 0:57:19.320 eating habits and even my schedule and not resting enough. 0:57:19.320 --> 0:57:21.640 But I did want to know if that's something that's sustainable. 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:24.120 Yeah, And I think to your point, if you were 0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:27.840 to study that phenomenon you just described with a glucose monitor, 0:57:28.240 --> 0:57:30.520 what you would probably find, and I know this from 0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:33.280 personal experience, is that time when you felt like it 0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:35.760 was nap time, it's probably because you had a big 0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:39.000 glucose swing up and then a big swing the opposite 0:57:39.000 --> 0:57:42.200 way after your insulin was released. So it's that low 0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:45.080 period that gets you feeling like, oh, it's after lunch 0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:45.760 and men a coma. 0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:46.160 Yeah. 0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:50.000 Right, but it sounds like you're, you know, mastering your 0:57:50.000 --> 0:57:52.480 own faith because with the sixteen eight window, it sounds 0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:54.360 like you're not having the crash, which is great. 0:57:54.520 --> 0:57:57.120 Yeah, that's crazy. So since we got here, I had 0:57:57.120 --> 0:57:58.840 my lunch with me. As soon as it strike the 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:01.920 clock strikes club, I was like, because I didn't want 0:58:01.960 --> 0:58:03.880 to be in here, like, oh no, I'm sorry. 0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:06.320 You know what's so interesting is I told you as 0:58:06.400 --> 0:58:08.600 you know, becoming a part of Pravita, I decided to 0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:11.840 get an executive membership for myself to do the executive physical. 0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:14.560 So doctor Turner mentioned, I've never worn a glue coast monitor. 0:58:14.640 --> 0:58:16.480 My mom was diabetic my entire life. 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:19.160 She actually had your stational diabetes when she had me. Wow, 0:58:19.200 --> 0:58:21.600 And so I've always seen her shooting slant and just 0:58:21.640 --> 0:58:24.520 that was the norm. So putting on this glue coast monitor, 0:58:24.600 --> 0:58:26.320 I was telling dow to Turner. The first week I 0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:29.520 had it, those swings up down that time, I saw it, 0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:31.840 and then I did a five day the Prolo fast 0:58:32.520 --> 0:58:34.800 and it was even the entire time while I was 0:58:34.800 --> 0:58:37.919 fast and I felt amazing and I'm like wow, he said, 0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:39.560 it was like, now you have the data and it 0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:43.400 shows you sleeping better, like all of the things connected. 0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:46.400 So understanding like how fasting and the benefits of that, 0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:48.680 but also seeing how it impacts those are things I 0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:51.800 would have never been privy to really understanding with the 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:53.680 data behind it without going through this process. 0:58:53.760 --> 0:58:55.600 So the glue coast monitors, it's something that you like 0:58:55.680 --> 0:58:58.120 have to like super tiny did her right here? 0:58:58.240 --> 0:58:58.320 Not? 0:58:59.480 --> 0:59:00.640 He had to put a on for me. I was like, 0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:01.160 I can't do it. 0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:02.400 I was like, oh, I didn't feel it. 0:59:02.600 --> 0:59:07.040 Oh, it's so easy. Maybe when you don't know, you 0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:10.200 don't know. Yes, that's a normal feeling. How long do 0:59:10.200 --> 0:59:10.760 you keep it on? 0:59:11.200 --> 0:59:13.240 The one that we have last for fifteen days, so 0:59:13.400 --> 0:59:14.600 you know you can do it once, you can do 0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:17.520 it twice. But being able to see over time and 0:59:17.520 --> 0:59:19.040 then you can take a picture of what do you 0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:20.640 eat so you understand where. 0:59:20.400 --> 0:59:22.040 Those highs and lows come from. 0:59:22.240 --> 0:59:24.280 Right, And then for me, I wore it. 0:59:24.360 --> 0:59:26.439 I mean I was still doing crossfits, I was doing 0:59:26.520 --> 0:59:30.560 pull ups and overhead squats. Didn't interfere with me at all. 0:59:30.880 --> 0:59:33.240 And then of course when people around you see you 0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:34.600 doing it, they're like, what is that? 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:37.560 Yeah, yeah, I want that, right, I want. 0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:41.720 Michael Goes to be better than yours. Good competition, right, 0:59:41.760 --> 0:59:43.520 But it becomes a team, and I think, you know, 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:46.720 people engaged in a common pursuit, they hold each other 0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:49.160 accountable and that community. 0:59:48.720 --> 0:59:51.520 Is very powerful.
