Twin Cast # 36: Leadership, Discipline & Building Champions with Mia Hibbert

On this episode of the Twin Cast podcast, we sit down with Mia Hibbert, owner of the Atlanta Wild, to talk about leadership, discipline, resilience, and what it takes to build a team of high-performing athletes.

We explore the world of Grid League competition, the qualities that separate good athletes from great ones, and why mindset matters just as much as talent. Mia shares her perspective on coaching, team culture, accountability, and the daily habits required to perform at a high level.

This conversation goes far beyond sports. We talk about leadership, personal growth, overcoming challenges, and how the principles that create success in athletics can also apply to business, faith, and everyday life.

In this episode:
• What makes elite athletes different
• Building a culture of excellence
• Why mindset matters more than talent alone
• Leadership lessons from coaching high performers
• The role of discipline, resilience, and accountability

Success rarely happens by accident. It is built through consistency, discipline, and the willingness to keep showing up when things get hard.

All right. Welcome back to the Twin Cast. We're Nicole and Cherie, and your host of the Twin Cast. Where we keep it real about faith, real estate, and leveling up. Nicole, let's go. Okay. So today we're excited to sit with Mia Hibbert. She is the owner of the Atlanta Wild team. She coaches a group of extraordinary athletes that exemplify excellence, resilience, and hard work on a daily basis. Mia, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. I'm super excited for this. Um, I feel extremely underdressed. And I would love to be in a t-shirt myself, to be honest. TBH. I'm always the blue jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. And me, it's easy for me to throw on a dress. I'm trying to reel people in as we, you know, as as I get out there, they're like, you're always wearing a dress. I'm like, dude, because it takes like 10 minutes to put on a dress. And I've convinced her. Mia, it's so true. Um, literally, I just pulled this thing off the hanger today and walked out in 10 minutes. Now that's for me a thing because usually it takes me about 45 minutes to find an outfit. So let's warm up to the dresses. Okay, I'll attempt. Thanks for saying I don't know. I believe her right now. Okay, Mia. I appreciate you entertaining us. I love it. You're welcome. I'm here for that. It's so exciting because Mia, um, I've known Mia for I don't know, like eight years or so, and she's coached uh me for a short amount of time because she's like a whole nother, like this is just no, she's a whole nother level as she is the owner of Atlanta Wild. And tell us a little bit about the people that you coach. Um, it's called the Grid League, and you guys do some extraordinary things, and we want to know more about it. So, grid as a sport, uh, first of all, it's a team sport and it's co-ed. So you very rarely see team sports that involve male and female players, um, which is very, very cool. That is one of the things that grid sort of stands out with. Um, there are 10 teams in the grid league. Uh, we just added two new teams this season, so that's something that's very exciting. Um, the Atlanta Wild were the first team, I believe, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Um, but the Atlanta Wild is the first team within the United Grid League to really branch out of the state of Florida. Um, so we were the Florida Grid League before, turned into the United Grid League. Atlanta Wild was the first team uh technically based outside of the state of Florida. But before that, players were coming in from all over the US to play for various teams within the league. Um, and our team was kind of formed by Dan Jackson, uh Sheree. I don't know if you remember him, but he was at the old gym with us um a long time ago when he and his wife were stationed here. So that's how RJ met him. Uh, and back in the day, RJ's my husband, FYI. Um, back in the day when RJ was first starting out with Dan, Dan was really trying to get RJ to um try out for the NPGL, which was basically like the pro grid league. Um, and that was a branch off of CrossFit. So we're all familiar with CrossFit here for the most part. Um I think when people look at Grid League, they assume or they just associate it with CrossFit, but just like a much faster-paced version of it. Because you do see a lot of movements that you see in CrossFit in grid, but then you see a lot of other stuff too, too. You might see like some strongman movements, um, gymnastics movements, things like that, um, shicide sprints, things like that. So I wouldn't say that uh grid is for one very specific type of athlete, even though it is, if that makes sense. Like if you're playing grid, you kind of have to be a certain level of to say crazy. I don't understatement. I mean, like a certain level, like you have to be a certain level in all aspects because you guys are top performers, you are not just somebody that's okay with being mediocre. The people that you um that you put on your team are just uh extraordinary people. So we want to know more about those people that you select to put on your team. What kind of mindset do they have? Daily disciplines, things like that. Crazy. Pretty much, right? Yeah, pretty much. Um, yes, crazy is an actual answer. Um, because I think you have to be crazy for the people that are on your team in order to get out onto the floor and really give them your very, very best effort. Um, but really what I look for, or what we look for collectively as like an owner and coaching team. Um, so it's John, John Chen and I are both co-owners of the team. And then our coaching team is Dan Jackson and then RJ Hibbert, my husband, who also is playing this year. Um, but collectively, what we look for aside from skill, right? So skill is something that is very important, but also your coachability, your ability to play well with others. Um, but we also look for leadership skills because it can't just be the owners and the coaches that are really motivating the players. It has to be one of their peers who is giving them that level of like, let's go get this thing when we're out on the floor or when they're out on the floor. Um, so this season, that was really one of the main things that I was looking for when we were going through the recruiting process, right? Like, are you able to play well with others? Um are you a bit unserious too? Um, I've unofficially labeled us the most unserious team in the league. Um, because after our athlete camp, which we had back at the end of April, I think it was the last weekend of April, very beginning of May, um, I have never seen a team vibe like this before. Like everyone just immediately got along so, so well. Um, and I will be very honest when I say this. Past seasons, I have generally sort of like kept my own space. Um, not because I don't play well with others, but like I do try to protect my peace. And, you know, running a team is very stressful in all aspects, right? Like not just in sports, but just like running and leading a group of grown adults, right? Like that is a very hard job. It actually is like raising children. Exactly. Um, but this is the first season where I genuinely have just enjoyed being around people more often than I have before. Um, and maybe that's me growing as a team owner um or as a person. I don't know. I mean, sure, you know me. I've always been like the super like grumpy, mean person who like doesn't want to be anybody. I don't know that side of me. I don't know that side. Maybe I'm growing. I don't know. I need bulbing. You know, Nicole that I was like, you know, Mia's different. And I think all CrossFit coaches are kind of put into a category where they're a little bit, you know, if you're not a part of the CrossFit world, you you think, man, they're a butthole. You know, like you think you think that, and then it's like, no, wait, just unlike get get in under peel the level, the onion off, you know, peel the layers off. And then they find out that she really does want the best for you. She really wants to coach you and make you the best version of you. And she just, you know, you just gotta accept it. Tough love. You tough love. I get it. That is for sure. Um, and I definitely have a couple of players who can attest to that. Um, I, while I am not one of their actual coaches, right? Like for grid, I'm not the one who's writing lineups. I'm not the one who's reviewing their videos, right? Like that's what Dan and RJ are there for. Um, but I very much have taken on the job of like team mom for the most part. Um, you know, making sure everyone is getting to places when they're supposed to be there, making sure that people are able to responsibly book their travel. Um, I've got a couple of funny stories about that that we can share offline. Um, but also definitely dishing out the tough love too, right? Like we've got a new player on the team this season. His name is Gavin. Everyone knows about Gavin. He's made such a huge, like he's made a splash in the league. Um, but coming onto the team, everyone was literally like, what is wrong with this kid? Like he actually is. He is psychotic, psychotic, but he is an absolute monster out on the grid. And, you know, he just needs a couple of like, he just needs a little bit of like uh touching up, you know, smoothing those edges out, and he's gonna be phenomenal. Um, but he's also very young. He comes from a very small town. He has not really experienced like the world, so to say. Um, so there's definitely a lot of phone calls between he and I where I mean, to we're to the point now where I'm like, just move to Texas. I will mold you into a wonderful human being. I love that. Okay. So let me ask you a question here. Being a business owner, woman business owner, um, and in this industry, have you had um anything that's come up as far as adversities? Has it been hard or have you just um has it been easy? I think, well, now we're gonna step outside of grid, right? Like if we're gonna talk about being a female business owner, um, it is hard, always, always, always. Uh stepping into arenas where women probably historically have not been involved in. That is always something that's very difficult, uh especially in the sports space. Um that has that's not something that has ever happened with grid. And I think that, you know, because it is a co-ed sport, like that's literally not a thing. Um, but it is something that I've seen in the CrossFit space. It is something that I've seen in the weightlifting world. Um, it is something that I've seen uh in the nutrition coaching space too, right? These are just, I mean, they're not new arenas for us, but like they are new arenas for us. So there's always gonna be like maybe that little voice in the back of my head that's like, you know, is something going wrong because something's actually going wrong, or are things going wrong because of who I am? Right. Like not only am I a woman in these various arenas, but I'm also a minority, right? I'm half Filipino. I don't look like I'm half white, but I am, you know, but maybe you guys experience that too. Uh or maybe you have experienced something like that in the past. Uh, but at the end of the day, it's not a thing, right? Like you just push forward, you keep doing you, and you know, like you understand that the people that are gravitating towards you are gravitating towards you for a reason. I love it. And really, that's really the only way that you can think about it, right? And if they're not, then that's also a reason. So mindset, uh, I think that's something that we discuss often on our show is mindset, it matters. Um, and kind of getting outside of your element and and understanding changing is growing, and it's okay if it doesn't all mesh well, there's a reason why, and learning to overcome those things. Yeah, you have to, and you said that multiple times um about it, doesn't really matter if somebody's not agreeing with you or you have to push through the hard, you just go through it. Who cares? You're uh it's more of a reason to fight because you are a women, a woman business owner, you are setting a standard for the the next generation to step into their um their calling as a business owner and not just say, Well, I'm a woman, I can't do it. Um, it's hard, I don't want to do it, I can't do it. Heck no, we're just gonna get out there and do it. We're gonna go do it, do whatever you want. Yeah, what's the worst they can say is no. Well, on to the next person. And sometimes I I was uh talking or thinking about this this morning. Uh, me and Shuri are navigating through um the future foundations, our uh our group organization and educating young adults. Um, and we've got no's here and there, but go back to that same no and keep and keep working towards you get a yes. I mean, they say no today, tomorrow they might say yes. It might take 10 times before they say yes. And it's okay, you just keep pushing. Exactly. Exactly. There literally is nothing that is stopping you from doing the things that you want to do. Oh my gosh, that is a conversation that I had with one of the players yesterday. Well, I bet Gavin, um, and that's probably the group that we're it was with Gavin. You know, because these the the younger generation, we are molding them and we and I love that you said that they're that he's coachable because if you're coachable, gosh, um, the the years that you'll shave off of just you know have not having to go through as many hard things if you just listen to somebody with a little bit more wisdom, wiser experience, and that that changes it could change your life. So I'm I'm excited for for Gavin that he's you know taking the um taking the coaching, the mentorship, right, that you're offering him. Oh, absolutely. And that honestly was one of the things that sort of uh drew us to him when we did our initial, I'll call it an interview with him. Um, he is just very open to everything. Uh, and I think that that is a characteristic amongst 100% of our team this season, um, being open to criticism, being open to changing the lineup at the last minute, um, being open to asking questions, right? Like you're putting me here, tell me why, or you're taking me out of something, tell me why, without getting your feelings hurt, right? Like understanding that we truly are doing what is best for the team as a whole, um, but also for them as players too, right? Like grid is not uh a sustainable way to train. Um, the season is short for a reason. You truly do put in 110% every time you compete. Um, and that is very, very hard on the body. So, you know, asking our players to give that of themselves to the team is a huge ask. Um, and so, you know, like I was saying, a big goal for us this season is just taking care of them too, right? Like making sure that there isn't one person who's doing too much or taking on too much for the team, right? Like you may be the best at this, but we need to save you for something else, or we just need to save you in general. Um, and that that's one thing that in the past we've gotten a little bit of uh kickback on, but this season is not not even a thing. Like I literally have no complaints, it's so great. Have the right team, aces and places, and we say that all the time in our industry. We want to have the right people at the right place, and your team matters. Um, and your sport here, fast paced, just like real estate, fast paced, people want answers, they want them quickly. But if you have the right team, they understand, hey, I gotta pick up you know this ball and I gotta get it to this next this next place, I gotta do whatever I gotta do to for the team. It's not just an individual sport, it's the whole team wins. If I win, it doesn't matter. I want the whole team to win. So um if you have a team that understands that, yeah, no telling where you guys are gonna go. And they do. I think that they've looked at examples from the past just within the league, right? Um, because in grid, you're all you're there's so many standout players, right? Where if you look at them individually, you're like, oh, they're amazing. Um, and a lot of people have been a part of grid before and moved on to bigger and better things for themselves, which is amazing. Um, we've got a couple of players who played for us before who have become elite CrossFit coaches, um, bodybuilders, right? Like they've moved on to different sports. Uh, they've become moms, you know, they've started focusing on their families, right? Like that is still a huge step up from being on the team or being a part of the league. And I just think that that's super awesome. Um, you know, we've we've lost a bunch of players. Uh one player was out, he was supposed to play for us this season, uh, and then he ended up breaking his foot like maybe three weeks before athlete camp started. Um, and so that definitely took him out for the rest of the season, but he still very much is like on the sidelines, cheering for everybody, cheering for people that he's never met before, giving feedback on performance videos. Um, and I think that really shows, you know, like the connection that all of the players have had just from being a part of the wild. Well, speaking of team, um, you have a very important person on your team who is your husband, RJ. How is that? Um, coaching and him being a team player, how is that working out? Okay, so just understand that RJ and I have lines that we do not cross with each other. Uh, and coaching is one of those things. Um, I do ask questions, uh, I do offer feedback, but at the end of the day, I trust his decisions when it comes to that. I trust Dan's decisions. Um, after a little bit of conversation, uh, we uh we genuinely do work really, really well. However, I will say, so RJ played for the wild um for like four or five seasons. And then last year he was like, Oh, I'm retired. Okay, buddy. Um, but he ended up filling in as an assistant coach for the last two matches of the season last year. And I think I may be speaking incorrectly, I don't know, but I think that it maybe put a little bug in his ear. Um, the plan was for him to come back this season as a coach only, because Dan is very much our data guy, right? And I can say this about Dan because he recognized this, he recognizes this about himself. He is not a great people manager. Okay. Dan not being a great people manager and recognizing that about himself has been astronomical for the wild. Um, because now the players have RJ, who has the experience of being a player on the grid, right? Who also has the experience of working with Dan for such a long time. And he really understands like that communication aspect that has to happen between a coach and the players. But then there was a little conversation that we had, and he was like, I think I'm gonna play. And I didn't, I didn't force it. I was just waiting for it to happen, you know, just dropping little hints here and there. Um, and we we finally he signed the paperwork um and we we surprised the team at camp. Um, and the the reaction was amazing. I wish that I had filmed it. Um, but him signing to come back this season also brought back um one of our strongest guys on the team, too, Pat Long, who played for the wild when RJ was also playing for them before, who also took a couple of seasons off, um, and then decided to come back too. So having the two of them back together on the same team is a bit of a boys. That's all I'll say. Boys. Well, he said two things that I like. I said I I like that you you mentioned that he Dan recognized that he was not in the right place, right? Absolutely, he had a skill, but he wasn't the he wasn't in the right place. So he recognized that he moved into the position that fit him best, right? And then the team took off, right? Like it meant uh it meant it meant it was a big deal. So that I liked. And then RJ, if you guys know RJ, he like for him to be out of it, like he was fooling, I don't know what he was doing. You know, like he's an incredible athlete, great coach. I mean, all the things. So I'm sure being on the sidelines was it was probably needed because he's competed, he's you know, been an athlete for so long. So he probably needed some time off, right? Like, you know, take a sabbatical, take some time off. And that was great that he probably recognized that. And now he's coming back uh probably a hundred times better. I mean, if that's a thing, uh, but I'm sure he's coming back better and stronger just for that, you know, time that year off or what have you. Probably something for him for sure. Yeah, so he did not play in our first match. He actually he strained his peck um like right before, but the plan wasn't for him to play in the first match anyway. Um, and obviously, selfishly, I would have loved it if he did. Um, but he is gonna be playing in the next one that we have coming up in two-ish weeks. So we're competing in Lakeland, Florida on June 20th. He is gonna be in that one. Um, I'm excited. I'm super, super excited. Me saying it like this right now does not explain how excited I am to see him back. It has been for the five seasons that he played, it was literally my favorite thing every year. I looked forward to it. I love watching RG. Compete. I think he's a phenomenal athlete. Just because he's my husband. You know, I mean, you gotta give him credit. You gotta that's where teamwork comes in. So I mean, uh to be excited for your husband and to see him grow. Um, and just you being on his team, I'm sure that means the world to him as well. Um let's know it better be. Let me transition and ask you, you've you and your team have had so many triumphs and uh victories, but through the process, I'm sure there has been some things, some letdowns or some disappointments in your career. Um, how has that looked and what did you do to overcome them? Okay, so if you look back to so well, let's only look at the wild from when I became owner, which was 2024, the 2024 season. My first year as owner, uh, John came on as owner about halfway through the season. When I first met John, we actually just got along really, really well. Um, and he initially was going to play, then we decided that he would be a really amazing assistant coach for Dan. John is so helpful on the sidelines. I mean, Dan and RJ have admitted like we need John with us. And John, he likes to joke that he's like, I'm just there to hold the clipboard. No, like he is so, so valuable. John's background is in professional sports, so he just like he knows where to be when you need to be there. He knows what needs to be done, substitutions, all those things. He's phenomenal. Um, so John came on about midway through the season in 2024. We actually won the championships that year. We had an amazing team. Um, and then after that, a lot of people retired. Um, a lot of people decided to pursue their individual athlete careers, which was awesome. Um, and then 2025, we just had a brand new team, basically. So the thing with grid is like you can practice all day, but you truly don't know what it's like until you physically are out on that grid floor in a match. Like you do not know how chaotic it is. You don't know how loud it is. There's so much happening around you. There's so much yelling. I lose my voice every time we compete from just screaming. I track a workout on my watch because I want to see what my heart rate is doing while I'm watching these guys compete. Um, so 2025 was rough. Uh, and a lot of people say that it's like a three-year process, right? Like year one sucks, year two is better, and then year three is really when you kind of have your, I almost cussed, when you kind of have your stuff together. Thank you. Um we are going on year two now. So 2025 was rough coming off of 2024. We won the championship, the we won the championships in 2024, lost every single match in 2025. 2026, season opener, we lost that one, but it was such a close match. Um, and probably one of the better matches that we've played. But when when you look back on it, like we really did kind of just beat ourselves just from making like small mistakes, right? Like things that shouldn't have happened. Um, and that's okay, right? Like the players are still like they came off of that match so motivated for the next one, like just ready, ready to kick some booty um on June 20th. Uh, but you know, there were a lot of changes. Um, you develop relationships with people that have been on the team with you before, uh, and then they leave and you're like, ugh, like I'm sad, you know, I'm sad to see my friends leave. I'm sad to see them leave as a player. Um, like, is it weird? You know, we've got a couple of players that we love who have gone on to other teams, and it's like, you know, there's all you're always questioning it, like, is it something that I did? Like, did we do something wrong? Um, even though they truly are just making the decisions that are best for them, right? And you have to be okay with that. Um, you know, it doesn't change your friendship, it doesn't change anything, really. Hopefully not. Maybe for me. I don't know. Maybe not for them. I don't know. Um, but uh, you know, you just have to continue building and asking everyone to do your best, and you still have to make changes every single time. Um, you know, you really just have to be okay with like going with the flow of how things are happening, uh, and just constantly thinking like end goal is just to have the best team possible. Um, but that really is striving for perfection. And we know we all know that perfection is something is very, very hard to achieve. Um, so you just have to keep building and keep that sort of mindset. That's almost everything that you know, um, as far as real estate, we're working every day for excellence, and it's uh the goal is to get them to the finish line of purchasing a home. But uh we experience bumps in the road, but our mindset and resilience, and we're saying, okay, well, uh, this changed, this may we made a mistake here, this didn't go the way we planned. But hey, end goal is we're we're trying to get to the championship, and that's and that's home. So you have to be adaptable and you have to be willing to like put in the really, really hard work to overcome right those shortcomings and just be better next time and be better next time and be better next time. Yeah, we won the championships in 2024, but we still wanted to be better, right? Like there were things that we could have done better to get there, and that's okay. Yeah, fall forward. You're just you make a mistake, you but you learn from it. And that's what we're trying to teach this next generation is like even though you fall, even though you make a mistake, if you learn something, that's the most important part because the next time you'll be better, and you're gonna do that a million times when you're a business owner, when you're an entrepreneur, when you are a leader, when you're gonna make a million mistakes, but just get getting back up makes you different because most of the time people get it gets hard and people leave and people don't they they you know flush their dream down the toilet because it got hard. And I'm like, what? I'm like, you just gotta keep going. So as a business owner, uh, you know, I'm sure you're telling yourself that every day. Are there some daily disciplines that you have? Like, you know, I get up at this time or I, you know, is there certain things that you do to keep yourself motivated in this business? Always. Um, I think that my clients, right, like people that I coach, they are always gonna be my biggest foot, my my biggest motivation because I cannot tell them to do things that I am not also asking of myself, right? So setting a good example daily is always my goal. Now, do I achieve that goal every day? Probably not, right? Because, like, let's be realistic, life happens, things happen. Um, you know, I'm not a perfect person. I don't want to be a perfect person, and I don't want my clients to be perfect people either, because perfection is something that is so hard to ask of yourself every day, right? It's something that we talk a lot a lot about in CrossFit too, Cherie, right? Like consistency is gonna be the way to get your to get yourself where you want to be. Um, in nutrition coaching, we talk a lot about the 80-20 rule, right? Where you're 80% disciplined, 20% fun. That is how that is the best way for you to live while also working towards that perfection goal, right? Um now, if you're asking me about specific things that I do, I I can't tell you that because every day is different. Some days I wake up and I'm like, heck yeah, let's do this. Other days I wake up and I'm like, bit. Okay, so you are human. And that's what I think, you know, as an owner, um, somebody striving to get to certain a certain place, you have to give yourself some grace and you have to say, I'm exactly what you said, I'm not perfect, but I have a goal in mind and I'm gonna strive towards that, and I'm gonna do things that get me to that place. Eventually, it's not gonna be tomorrow, it's not gonna be the next day, but I'm going to put in the work to get there eventually. Um, and uh that's the I think that's the important part. It's just one day at a time. It's all the small things that are gonna add up to the one big thing that you're looking for, right? It's not gonna be the one big thing all at once. Like that's literally not how it happens. Yeah, that's impossible. You don't get to the top of the mountain with one step, you take a million of them and you get exactly so exactly you can give yourself that grace and you can say, Listen, I'm not I maybe miss the gym. I mean, because I'm pretty hard as business owners, we're all um very hard on ourselves, you know. And so when we don't do the things that we know we should do, I mean, nobody probably beats us up worse than ourselves, you know. We're not great, we're you know, getting, you know, we don't cut ourselves no slack, I don't think. Um, I know Nicole could cut me no slack, so I'm sure she's not cutting those guys not much slack or herself. Yeah, she's not cutting herself any slack. I don't cut you any slack, Sherie. I know, I know. I know, and that's my and that's Nicole, you're next. I know, I know it's coming. I'm thinking, okay, so I'm an endurance athlete running a half marathon, and the goal is to do a full marathon now. Um, but me and Sherie talk about often uh coaching is essential. We we think that it's uh it's important, and so I know I need a coach to get me to that that full marathon, and so that's my uh next mission at hand. But for yourself, your 18-year-old self, what would you tell yourself, 18 years old? What would you tell yourself, knowing what you know now? Don't party as much. What is it? Don't worry as much. Don't party as much. I was thinking, don't worry as much. I didn't I knew that didn't sound right, didn't have the right ring to it. Don't party as much. Yeah, no, I'm you know, I'm glad you said that. But you know No, I I think actually it would be step outside of your box. Okay, yeah, step outside of your box, experience new things, learn how to be open-minded, don't just do uh within limits, don't just do the things that are expected of you, right? Like learn about yourself. That I think that is probably the most important thing for younger people. Learn about yourself, but like really, really learn about yourself. Live alone, eat alone, do all these things by yourself, learn, learn to rely on yourself, right? Like make you become the strongest version of you before you start something with anyone else or before you start anything else. That's good. Figure yourself out. Be okay with being alone, yeah. Be okay with it. Yeah, enjoy your company. Enjoy your company. I mean, it's a thing. I I mean, some people um don't can't even go to a restaurant by themselves and eat alone. I can go to the movies by myself, I can eat alone, but you have to be okay with your own company, with your own thoughts um all the time. You can, I mean, definitely have to be okay with it. If you can enjoy your own company, someone else can enjoy it too. But you have to at least be able to sit with yourself by yourself. But then that way you also know that like you with your own company is you. You don't have to constantly be changing it for anyone else, right? Like you are you, and when someone else comes along, they get you, they don't get 10 different versions because you don't know which version is you. Figure yourself out. Figure yourself out. We talked to a coach saying that he said the same thing. He's like, I wish I could tell the younger generation is just know yourself, find out what you have what you like, what you're um, you know, just what makes you happy. And if you can find that out, then you can help other people be do whatever it is in life, you know. And so I like that you said that. So go see the world, experience new things. Yeah, yeah. I'd say um, you miss opportunities you don't take by it by saying no. If someone says, Hey, do you want to go over here? Now I'm not talking about uh careless and you know, uh not having um some some reasoning behind it. But if someone invites you somewhere and it's oh, well, let's go on, let's go to Puerto Rico or let's go down the street, why say no? Just go, just go out and have a good time. Um be able, you miss those opportunities if you don't, you don't never know who you're gonna meet, who you're gonna run into, or who life you can add value to by um having the conversation and being out. So I have overseas. So, you know, meeting people who have literally never left the town that they grew up in. I'm like what the bag, we're leaving now. We're leaving, yeah. Oh no, actually. See, I know you have questions. You want to okay, Mia? We surprise, Mia. Now we know you're extraordinary and all the things, and so but we want to make sure you're human. So here's a few questions. Coffee or energy drink? Coffee or energy drink. Oh, okay, coffee in the morning, energy drink in the afternoon. Okay, morning workout or evening? Evening. One, um, let's see, what's your favorite cheap meal? The 20%, not the 80, the 20%. I love a good pizza, but it had the crust matters. The crust matters. Um, I love French fries. Oh me too. Um, but this might surprise you. One of my favorite meals is uh have you been to Mosaic Grill and Belton? Yes. Okay. My absolute favorite meal is the mosaic salad with chicken swarma on top. And then I order a side of French fries and I mix it in the salad. That did surprise me. Shock and all. Coke zero on the side. It's the perfect meal. Of course, a Coke Zero is a good one. Of course, it is my perfect meal, my favorite. I'm also a sucker for bread. Don't just bread and like good salty butter, I can't. Uncontrollable. What are you talking about? We all have the bread. Every freaking woman out here. Okay, so we're not giving you the bread, but the french fries and the mosaic salad mixed together. Okay, that's creative. We're gonna oh it's so good. You need to try it. We'll go next time. Okay, next. Um, what is your most used app? Snapchat, unfortunately, not Snapchat because RJ refuses to contact me any other way. What? He won't call, he won't text, he only Snapchats me. Nicole has a thing about people that use Snapchat. Sneaky links, there she says there's something going on. So RJ says it's your husband, we're gonna allow it. But Nicole's at least the sneaky link is my husband and also my best friend Haley and I, we only Snapchat each other. She actually, if I call her or if I text her, immediately her reaction is what's wrong. That is so cool. Okay, that is different because I would have never expected. What's your dream vacation? Anywhere where the water is clear. Me, me too. Yeah. But not necessarily a tropical island. My favorite beaches actually are in Croatia. Okay, well, you're in Croatia, so I think that's far enough. I have no idea. Like also the food there is phenomenal. So, like, you literally can't go wrong. Who would know? I mean, I don't know what this is. What kind of food do they have in Croatia? Jesus, see, this is a whole different thing. You must have said no the next one for vacation part. Okay. It's missed opportunity there. Um, most let's see, no, no, no. Book. I love the book reading situation. Um, what is your most favorite book? Um, most favorite book? Like of all time or currently? All time. Memoirs of a geisha. Okay. I haven't heard of it, but this is something this is something to look into. And you're probably crying. I don't think so. There's no funny books. There's there's a there's no funny books. Of course there is of all genres. Yes. Okay. Anyways, Mia, we end our show with one question. And we, you know, real estate mortgages, that's what we do. So we have to ask you at your home if the walls could talk, what would they say? Why are you crazy? No. JK, JK. Um, funny enough, my walls actually do talk because we live in a duplex and we have a neighbor. Um, and I would love to be able to install some sound panels. Um, but I understand the question. Okay, so this is this is what my walls would say. Um, or maybe this is what they would hear. Uh, a lot of grid conversations, a lot of um discussions about why I'm not allowed to adopt more animals. Um, why I am uh making a salted honey iced coffee latte every day for no reason. Every day um and uh a lot of screaming about uh sports. We're a big NFL house, so when the NFL is in season, there's a lot of yelling about that. Um and I think a lot of other stuff that shall not be spoken about. We gotta keep it G. I told you that. Keep it G. We're keeping it G. Well, you both had a lot to say. I know for sure they're probably saying, go Atlanta Wild. Yeah, definitely saying that.
