Prepare to transform your understanding of hair care as trichologist Mimi reveals the fascinating medical science behind healthy hair and scalp. With over 31 years of experience and a holistic health background, Mimi shares insights that connect your hair condition to everything from emotional states to nutritional choices.

"Your hair and scalp tells a story before the doctor can see it in the blood," Mimi explains, highlighting how hair problems often signal deeper health issues. Drawing from her experience serving six generations of women through her specialized trichology clinic, she explores the hidden connections between common problems like hair loss and surprising culprits including medication side effects, processed sugar consumption, and inadequate hydration.

Unlike conventional stylists, Mimi approaches hair care as a comprehensive health service. Her clinic provides individualized analysis and customized formulations for each client's specific needs. "My motto is not the same old thing works every time for everyone," she emphasizes, explaining why mass-produced hair products frequently disappoint. Through vivid comparisons, she illustrates how many commercial products merely coat hair rather than penetrating and strengthening it.

The conversation explores practical wisdom about protective styling, the dangers of product buildup, and why hydration matters so much for hair health. Mimi also shares compassionate advice for those experiencing hair loss due to medical treatments, stress, or aging. Her newly launched hair digest compiles this knowledge into an accessible resource that helps women understand the root causes of their hair concerns.

Whether you're struggling with unexplained hair issues or simply want to optimize your hair's health, this episode provides science-backed insights that go far beyond typical styling advice.

Speaker 1:

Hello everyone and welcome to the Follow Brand Podcast. This is your host, grant McGaugh, and I'm live at the LeVon Innovation Center, and I love this location because I have an opportunity to interact with my guests in ways that I don't do normally, and we're going to have a conversation with Mimi. Mimi is going to talk to us about she has a new. She calls it a digest a digest, and it has a lot of components to it. It's going to help people with their hair care and some other things you may not be aware of, and this is important and I want to get this message out. So, first of all, we need mimi to introduce herself well, I'm mimi.

Speaker 2:

I go go by Mimi. My name, my government name was. What I say is Merlandi Elaine. I've been in the industry for over 31 years. I started off when I was very young. I was an assistant at a salon. She retired and I took over. So in taking over, it's always been a pride for me to elevate and basically perfect everything that I was taught by her. So and it brings us to where we're at today, where I've had years of examining and seeing different things on women's hair and scalp and I've built my own sort of say quote unquote statistics, because I have over well, now six generations of women that I've assisted in hair and scalp treatments.

Speaker 1:

Now we got to unpack a lot of that. You know she's got a lot of work in there, because you're not what you call your everyday hairdresser. You don't just it's not an everyday salon. You got to unpack to us what makes you different.

Speaker 2:

Well, what makes us different is that we're a trichology clinic, so your visit with us is not 30 minutes, 40 minutes. Everything is analyzed, everything is carefully looked into. We need to personalize your shampoos, we need to personalize your treatments, and all of this comes into the part where you come into our room. By the way, I have a clinic. It's a trichology clinic. So every client that comes to visit us, we they're in their separate rooms and inside this room, um, we go in, we analyze their hair, we analyze their scalp and, with that being said, we take that information as well.

Speaker 2:

I have um think of it as a doctor's office. I'm a doctor and I have medical assistant, so they go in and they do their analyzation. You know, the analysts on the client's hair and scalp come back to me with information. If something is odd, I go in and I examine it myself. This helps us prepare the client's treatments, their shampoos, their oils, anything that they need at that time, because what a lot of people don't realize is that your hair and scalp changes even with your emotions. So, with that being said, if you come into a, when you go into a regular salon, and the stylist isn't aware of that, they'll use the same old thing every time and you have arguments of women saying I've been going there but it hasn't been working lately. This is because you're changing and with that change, your stylists need to have knowledge of what's going on so that way they can customize whatever it is that they're using catering to you. So my motto is not the same old thing works every time for everyone.

Speaker 2:

I'm taking that to heart. I just learned something I hope the audience just learned so your scalp, your skin condition changes with age, over time.

Speaker 1:

Right, and you also said something that I'm very curious about. You said you're a doctor. Yes, I'm a holistic health practitioner. You said you're a doctor.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I'm a holistic health practitioner, so I specialize in trichology, so my niche is the study of hair and scalp. So not only that, I'm a licensed cosmetologist. So that's just cherry on top when it comes to cosmetology. That's cherry on top Because if I can't figure out the root cause of a problem of a client's hair and scalp, I can style it every way I want. It'll still present that issue at the end. So my goal is not only to style the person's hair in the trichology line of it, but my goal is also to study the client's hair and scalp to make sure that whatever it is that we're putting on this hair, on your scalp, it's not affecting it even further for the sake of sake. On wanting a style, that's important.

Speaker 1:

That's so important the personalization, the customization, the care that you put into it. Now you've got a new digest. I do Because I know you've got clients out there. They're like, hey, we've been hearing about this new thing that Mimi's coming out here.

Speaker 2:

Talk to us about that a little bit um, what I did was I compiled a lot of information that people have been googling, trying to google and figure out. You know what's going on here, what's going on there. So, when it comes to the hair and scalp, I've compiled a whole lot of information into this one digest that you can read up on. It covers stress, it covers hormonal changes, it covers certain medications that you may be on. It covers certain medical conditions that you may be going through. Anything that will affect your hair and scalp even your nutritions, your vitamins, things of that nature needs to be taken into account, into seriousness, because, at the end of the day, you may be going through an autoimmune situation that you're not aware of but you're not familiar with the symptoms. But my digest covers those symptoms. So now you know, just to give you a little bit, now you know you need to stay away from vitamin A, because vitamin A will increase that autoimmune and when that autoimmune increases even further, you lose even more hair. So we have to be aware of the symptoms, we have to be aware of what's triggering the symptom, and my digest covers all of that.

Speaker 2:

So when I have clients who come into my exam rooms, I call them and they're asking me and I'm telling them. They're like, oh my God, I never knew that. I say you know what? I'm going to put together some information so that way you guys can have it and you guys can reflect back on. That way, when things change, like, let's say, you're going through God forbid a death of a parent that affects your hair as well, and now you can go to the stress section and you can see the symptoms. You can see, okay, what is my hair doing? Okay, it's doing this because I went through this stress. My scalp is feeling like this because I had this emotion. So now, because I have that emotion and I know it's stressful, I need to stay away from this type of food because that will only cause even more damage. So my digest covers all of that.

Speaker 2:

Your digest is what everybody needs to read. That's the reader's digest right there.

Speaker 1:

You know, as I'm listening because I'm starting to put some of the dots together You're saying not only your nutrition will affect your hair and scalp, that your emotional state, the stress that you're going through, and then also, if you're in any kind of disease state that you may or may not be aware of, and you get on certain medications high blood pressure, diabetes, these type of things and you wonder like, wow, my hair is falling out. You wake up in the morning, you got hair in your pillow. You're not sure exactly what, so talk. You wake up in the morning, you got hair in your pillow. Yeah, you're not sure exactly what. So talk to us about what in your world.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Your primary clients. What is your ideal client that you work with?

Speaker 2:

My ideal client is more so retirement women, business professional women, women that are on medication. I deal with a lot of women like that, Women who have gone through traction, alopecia, which means certain styles that they've done has really took a toll on their hair and scalp. I deal with a lot of women like that, Mainly because they have my words, not theirs. They have come, they come to a point in life where their hair is important to them and they need to go somewhere. They they know the stylist is, know what they do, they're doing and they trust them.

Speaker 2:

So, um, with that being said, I always get the. You know I'm, I feel you, Mimi, I feel you. I always get that from them and you know I love it. You know, because, honestly, I love what I do and my goal in life to everyone who surrounds me is to become knowledgeable of what's going on around you or even inside of you. So, whatever it is that I have, whatever it is that I know I share. I share because one thing I don't want is someone to fall in a hole, and I knew the hole was there and I didn't give you advice on how to deviate around it. That's a pet peeve for me.

Speaker 1:

Let's talk. I want to say something because I've heard it in the news lately. I see it a lot on YouTube, instagram, things like that Is it okay to have my natural hair? Is it okay to put in some synthetic hair where there's a weave in it? Is there a time where maybe that's good for a certain period of time? But then you need to take that out or talk to us about those different things.

Speaker 2:

I definitely can talk to you about that. First and foremost, when it comes to these protective stylings with the fibers and the weaves, you have to consider what's going on inside your body, because your scalp naturally produces a yeast Okay, it produces a natural yeast and this natural yeast, if it is not washed out regularly, it builds up. And when it builds up like that, it causes a lot of hair shedding. And when your hair starts shedding in some sort, you don't only get the shedding for that. But let's say you're going through a stressful situation. Or let's say they just put you on medication.

Speaker 2:

Or let's say you're going through an autoimmune, like spontaneously, while this style is in your hair, it's causing even more damage stages. Or even when you're on medication. I always tell my clients stay away from any pulling styles, any braiding, anything of that nature, because right now you need to stick to treatment stimulation. Okay, you need to stick to cleansing products, things like that, because if you don't, you'll only increase that natural yeast, it'll just build up and become more. And not only that whatever side effects from the medication, which is always inflammation, will cause you to want to be looking for processed sugar candy. And whenever you get to that point where you want that processed sugar, you build even more of that yeast and it just you could see it seeping out the follicle and when it's doing that, it's closing up and your hair's falling out and you lose it forever.

Speaker 2:

So, it's a process to it, which all of it is covered in my digest.

Speaker 1:

Now we need to read up on that. Nobody wants to say now you know why your hair is falling out. And then it's so many things, facets, right, things that we have to think about just a little bit. You know about everything that we're doing on a daily basis, right, the vitamins and the intake, the nutrition, and then what we're doing to our hair and the environment. Like here in South Florida we've got a lot of sun, a lot of outdoor activities Certain areas of the country.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you're not. You know, especially during the winter, you're not outside as much. You're covering your hair with hats, wigs, things of that nature. Help us with everyday hair care for the women that you normally serve. What would you tell them?

Speaker 2:

Well, when it comes to the everyday hair care, one thing is to brush and comb as often as you can, and always utilize, um, a hair product and a scalp product that doesn't coat, because you don't want anything to coat. You want products that penetrate, and when it coats is when you can feel it filmy and sticky. Therefore, it's just giving you manageability at that point and it's not really doing anything for your hair. And when you finally come to someone like me and I see it when I strip it it's not as strong as you thought it was. It's as if you have someone who weighs 95 pounds and they're in Boston on them to stay warm and when they walk in front of you they look like they're 200 pounds, but when they take all that coat off, they're really 95. So that's the same thing when it comes to hair products. You don't want it to just keep coating your hair. You need to have something that penetrates. Hence why I developed my own hair care product line, because I was tired of using brands that just coat and this came out within five years, like five or 10 years of me being in the industry. I was tired of it and I just developed my own. As I go, I did my own. As I go, I did my own.

Speaker 2:

And then during the pandemic, I was formulating, because I formulate for my clients according to their situation. So I was formulating a product for my client in Africa. She's in Africa and my husband was like, what are you doing? And I'm like I'm making products for my client in Africa, he said, why don't you just bottle it and sell it? But it never hit me because I'm just doing what I love. You know what I mean. And it just makes sense for me to do what I need to do for my client at that moment. It just makes sense for me to do what I need to do for my client at that moment. I wasn't thinking about selling and putting it in the market. I didn't want that. Anyways, with the way that I have it now, it would never go on the market because we customize as we go, we don't just mass produce, we don't mass produce. So at this point, when you order, you fill out a form. With that form we customize your product and it's sent to you fresh.

Speaker 1:

Wow. So you're getting really special hair care.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

I love the fact and your business is called SS Hair.

Speaker 2:

SS Hair Care.

Speaker 1:

SSHairCarecom.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

So people can go there. Now when I went to your website, I seen a lot there. It's not like you know. I used to go to a barber. I can do my own. I won't talk about my hair a lot. It looks glorious. I'll take that. I'll take that. But you go to your site and you've got a lot there. You've got courses there. You've got courses there. You've got information there. Talk to us about what the experience of working with you is like.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, my girls love it. They come in. I've hired licensed stylists. I've hired kids from school. They love it because they learn. Some of them say I learned more working with you than I did at school and I say, well, love it because they learn. Some of them say I learned more working with you than I did at school and I say, well, that's the point. Hence my passion to open my SS Hair Care Advanced Training Academy, which is fully accredited, by the way. So any course that you take within SS Hair Care, it's fully accredited.

Speaker 2:

We also have a trichology course where licensed cosmetology can learn the feel of trichology and become better with their client and servicing them in their hair and scalp care as well. So we have that, so all the knowledge that I've gained throughout the 31 years and everything it's packed into this trichology course for the licensed cosmetologist or anyone else who would want to study trichology, and they love it. When they come into work, they learn a lot and they're awe-stricken because they never knew this would do this. Or, if they put this shampoo, they have to know how to shampoo the hair. There's women who are on medication. It causes their hair to become weak. They got to know how to shampoo that hair. You know. So they learn a lot. It's not just they're like Mimi, it's not just shampoo. We got to know.

Speaker 2:

So when they come in to work with me, every employee that is hired within my company goes through a course. You learn the basics of shampooing and roller setting and blow drying, and you you learn it in a way where you're studying the person's hair and scalp so that way you can know how to apply the shampoo, how long you would leave that shampoo, how to customize that shampoo, where to put this roller, how can it affect the hair? Because there's certain areas in the head that's inflamed. Where would you put this roller so it doesn't cause even more breakage? So it's things like this that you learn in my academy. If you ever decide to take a course, but when you're employed by me, you have to take the foundation, foundational course that's required I want to ask you this yes, because you said something earlier in our interview process.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes people are going through a disease state. Let's say you had cancer and you're on chemo, right, and you're losing your hair. How do you advise clients that this is an experience they're going through, it's something different, it's something new, and then you know, over time the hair does begin to grow back. Talk to us about that kind of experience.

Speaker 2:

Well, going through chemotherapy, it is what it is Like. I told my clients it is what it is Right now. We need to give yourself some grace and know that this is a process. Okay, they've invented wigs for situations like this. We're going to focus on the health and when we're done with all the chemo and the doctor gives clearance, we'll go into the follicle stimulating so we can start stimulating the follicle again, so that way you can start pushing up the hair. So I always tell my clients just breathe. It is what it is and we just need to be grateful for life at this point. The hair part, I got it. Once we get the clearance, I got it. This is what I tell them We'll be good.

Speaker 2:

But I've had clients, like I told you I'm on six generations now I've had clients who've been through chemo.

Speaker 2:

I've had clients who've been through radiation and they tell me, like Mimi, you know, and my front desk, always when the clients come in, they're always checking in because we need to know if you've had any anesthesia, we need to know if there's any change in your medication, because right when you go into the room we need to start formulating your shampoo, we need to start formulating your mask and we need to start formulating your aftercare, your after service products as well, so that way we can style your hair effectively, so that way it can sustain and hold strength for the next two weeks, till we see you again. So things like this is very, very it's very important and I want to let every chemo therapy woman know out there is. It's part of the process, it is what it is. Some women don't lose their hair, some women do, but we just need to be grateful for life at this point, 100% give yourself some grace and then grateful for life, at this point, a hundred percent.

Speaker 1:

Give yourself some grace, yeah, and, and then look for specialists.

Speaker 2:

Definitely, you have to, you have to you know you.

Speaker 1:

you, you're a subject matter expert in this area. I'm learning so much. Yeah, I never, like my mother, has gone to the same hairstylist since I've been on this planet. Now, that's her friday, two o'clock, I believe, don't even that's booked, yeah, you know. But she has trusted her over a lot and if I look back at that, I'm like you know, her hair has always been very consistent and, to your point earlier, like said you, you're used to a certain someone that knows you yeah that really understands and then understands the different periods of life that you're in over time, because I see people all the time like, once they, once they choose a stylist, they kind of stay, they stay there.

Speaker 1:

What I'm getting from you is that. But you can help people on so many levels, not just the basic everyday hair styling, but the, the skin, this scalp, the all the dermatology. Just talk to us some more, a little bit more about your special, how you.

Speaker 2:

Your shop is so special and there are very few like you, I think you know, in the country yeah, um, like I said, we designed it in a way, when I saw that in the field, when I started early on in the field, and I saw that these women love their hair, they're consistent with this, like your mom, like they're consistent. And I always tell my client, I always tell my employees, I'm like they come here because they trust that we will give them 100 percent, because they trust that we will give them 100%, and because of that I said we need to make this more than just a salon. They need to trust us as much as they trust their doctors. So this is where my trichology clinic came into play. So the setting was already there. I have the rooms. Everyone has their individual rooms and now, with my background in, you know holistic health partitioning and you know giving clients certain foods. You know to take vitamins, you know to check in with their nutrition. Nutrition is to see if that's okay with them. You know things of that nature. When I start building it together like that, I'm like okay, we need to do something and my employees need to be as serious as I am. So that way, when my clients come in here, they come in here with their eyes closed, like they come to their doctor's office. Like he got my blood, he knows my readings. So that's how we are.

Speaker 2:

We even do hair analysis tests because there's some point where a woman would reach it's still not doing what it needs to do when it comes to the hair and scalp.

Speaker 2:

At this point we need to conduct a hair analysis test.

Speaker 2:

Based on my years of experience, I've boiled it down to a elimination process and usually by the second or third elimination process we figured out what it is and then we continue on. But by the fourth I don't play around with it I'm like we need to do a hair analysis test. I don't want to know your doctor's blood work, because the blood work it doesn't give me years of what's going on. The blood work just give me what's going on now. So the hair analysis test will give me like six, seven months back, you know, because whatever happened then is still affecting what's going on now. So with that hair analysis test we test arsenic, lead, magnesium, copper levels, zinc, things of that nature, and all of that is it's it's thorough. To me it's thorough. So when the client comes in for their consultation, I take it step by step and usually I put them on a three-month plan and if that three-month plan I don't see the results that I'm looking for, then I'm like, okay, we need to do a hair analysis test.

Speaker 1:

I gotta ask this question, yes, because it's on my mind. I got to go there. Yes, is there a difference? And I know, physically, looking at a black woman's hair as opposed to other races' hair is a physical difference. You can see that. But is there differences in how you have to take care of their? Do the different thing, like you're doing a hair analysis that you see in black women, are you predominantly, are your clients? You know, women of color? Are they different? Are they all over? But what do you see in differences in hair types?

Speaker 2:

Honestly, when it comes to the hair types, it's the physical, the curly, the straight, the thick, the thin. You know. There's the physical, the curly, the straight, um the thick, the thin. You know. There's the caucasian women, there's the chinese women. I've serviced them all, um african-american. You know, I serviced them all. But when it comes down to the insides, they're all doing the same thing. They're all doing the same thing yeah, hair is, hair is hair. Hair is hair, blood is blood, skin is skin.

Speaker 1:

Hair is hair. We are hearing this from the experts. Right, Hair is hair. Before we wrap up, because this has been very informative, I tell you it's been very informative. We told the audience hey, first of all, I encourage them to go to your site. Yeah, Get information about what's going on.

Speaker 2:

The digest is very especially for the women who are like I don't know what's going on. I've been using XYZ. They told me that this was good. The doctor took a piece of my scalp. You know this, that. And the third Before you go spend another penny, go get the Digest, Read it, Familiarize yourself.

Speaker 2:

I even have like a four-question quiz after each reading, just so you can check your knowledge. You know you don't have to pass it. Of course, if you get it wrong, God forbid, it's not that hard. But if you get it wrong, it'll tell you what the right answer is. But I want my women to be knowledgeable of what's going on on the inside. I want you to be aware of the symptoms. I want you to be aware of what certain foods can do and right when you see the symptoms, and to stay away from certain foods that will increase the symptoms, because then it'll increase the problem. So get the digest, read it, make it you it. Make it like your blueprint to your hair and scalp. That way you're not stuck on buying this product, this product. You know what's going on with your body and now you'll be able to be like I really don't need this on my hair, I need this in my body, so that way, when I use this on my hair, it's effective.

Speaker 1:

This is important because my daughter she has wavy, curly hair. Of course, being her dad and a single parent, I'm clueless.

Speaker 2:

I go in there and I see some hair product and I go here you go, she's going trial and error, so I could have just referred her to you yeah, and I would have told her no, let's stop, let's clear all this off your hair. Let me see what's going on with your strands, because when they come to me even if it's not a consultation, like I tell you I love what I do To me. Even if it's not a consultation, like I tell you, I love what I do. I'll pull them in my exam room and I'll take out my scope. I call it my scope. I'll take out my scope and I'll look at their hair, I'll look at their scalp.

Speaker 2:

And I'll know if okay, you've been eating too much sugar. You need to calm down on the sugar, because it don't matter what you use, the sugar is overpowering the texture of the hair. Sugar, because it don't matter what you use, the sugar is overpowering the texture of the hair and it's affecting the health of the scalp. And a lot of women who are also on medication just to give you a little a thing here a lot of women who are on medication don't realize even if you're not, even if you're going through hormonal changes they don't realize that, um, these processed sugars are affecting your immune system because it's going into your bone marrow and when it does, it weakens your immune system and when it does, you get a lot of breakage, which is what a lot of women go through, you know. So, on top of that, you're dealing with that, and then you're dealing with the medication issue, then you're dealing with the hormone changes issue.

Speaker 2:

So sometimes you just got to tweak something little bit yeah in order for you to get an effective result on the outside, you just sugar, sugar.

Speaker 1:

Just how much sugar are we consuming in our diet?

Speaker 2:

daily. It's a mess and this is why, um, even in my um digest, it introduces women to a fasting. You know, because I always tell my women I don't know if people are believers or not, but we all know the story of when Christ fasted 40 days and 40 nights and I always tell people, you know, there's a significance behind this. I don't think it's more so spiritual, which it was, but I think it's more so physical, because the creator knew what he was creating and he knew what was going to come. So there's a lot of power in fasting. It allows your body to regenerate, your cells, to just clean itself up from all these processed foods and things of that nature. So I always tell my women don't kill yourself. Do your fast At the end of your fast, eat your protein and whatever it is that's in your body that don't belong. The fast will get rid of it and you'll slowly see, you'll stop craving these things. That's contributing to the disease that's already forming in your body.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah, yes, we've got to get a hold of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we do.

Speaker 1:

The excess sugar, excess salt that is already prevalent, especially in the American diet.

Speaker 2:

Yes, diet.

Speaker 1:

And then we're not offsetting this. One thing I noticed and I'll say this one last thing before we get out of here is that you got to drink a lot of water.

Speaker 2:

You do Right. You do Right and people don't understand. Half your body weight in ounces is what you need. Yeah, you need that. Anything under that, your body's not getting enough.

Speaker 1:

Got to get enough water. I know in South Florida we get a lot of. I drink a lot of it because of the hydration, yeah, but I've been in other parts of the country and they're drinking more teas coffees cocoa, just sodas, other stuff other than just water? Definitely yeah, Just water.

Speaker 2:

Simple water.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, simple water.

Speaker 2:

Alkaline water is even the best. It helps with inflammation, so simple like lemon in your water is enough, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That helps with inflammation, again triggered by sugar, stress lack of sleep. So I tell people you know you go through that daily stress lack of sleep. So just make it alkaline water and just be safe. You know, lemon in water, that's it I tell you, we've gone full circle here. We have.

Speaker 1:

I want to make sure the audience gets this Like we're not just talking hair here. Hair is the byproduct yes, it is, but all these other things behind it and what you're doing on a daily basis, weekly, monthly, is contributing to your beautiful appearance.

Speaker 2:

It is, it does, it does.

Speaker 1:

So, before we keep going, how do they get in touch with you? Because I know you got more than just this website. They can come and see you.

Speaker 2:

Yes, you guys can come to my location. The address is 9959 Pines Boulevard. It's on Pembroke Pines, florida, and the zip code is 33024. We are open Tuesday to Saturdays. Our office number is 754-888-9485. And give us a call. Sometimes, through a simple conversation, a simple hello situation, I can just give you a quick. You know, okay, let's do this, but, forgive me, my clinic stays busy. So I try my best to do everyone, but it's best if you come see us. It's really best if you come see us, because at the end of the day, everything starts at the hair.

Speaker 1:

The hair and the scalp tells a story before the doctor can see it in the blood. That is so different because you're getting this medical attention as well as just you know, hair care. Yeah, it's just a full, full vacuum of everything it is you? Know for you, for it is that's how come?

Speaker 2:

being a licensed cosmetologist? I tell people it's cherry on top. But being a board-certified holistic practitioner and a trichologist, it's what I need in order to fulfill the anointing that I have, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1:

No, it makes perfect sense. And one thing I always ask my guests, especially at the end of the show, and it's impromptu, but I, like you, I got. You got to let my audience know this and your audience as well. How did you feel about this interview?

Speaker 2:
