    Interview: Josh Powell

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. My name is Josh Powell, 2x NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, Co-Captain for Big 3’s Killer 3s and co-creator of CheMinistry, a relationship platform. I’m also an entrepreneur, philanthropist and my all-time favorite, a father.

    Q. Can you give some advice to someone who would want to play basketball?

    A. My advice to anyone who wants to play professional basketball is consistency…Stay the course. Don’t compare yourself of your journey to anyone because that’s the quickest way to be deterred. Focus on your journey and remain steadfast to achieving your goal.

    Q. If you could describe this year of basketball what would it be?

    A. The NBA season during the pandemic was some of the best basketball I’ve seen this year. I think because of the pandemic and social distancing rules in place, the players only had one focus and that was basketball. Everyone was competing with a level of intensity at an all-time high. It was great to watch.

    Umbrella Bar Atl

    By: Cece Hymes

    Had a chance to check out this restaurant.  My daughter and I wanted to try something new. This place is in Ponce City Market. It’s been trending on TikTok, the Korean Hotdog.  We tried 3 Korean dogs. The first one was sugar coated, the next one was plain, and the last one was half of Half.

    My favorite one was the sugar coated one because I like the extra flava on it. It was a little pricey, but the dogs were big.

    I can say we finally checked out a Korean Place and I love Ponce city in Atlanta. A great place to try different foods.

    Have you checked out this place? What did you think? Do you like Korean Hotdogs? Follow me at @Cece.atl and @Cece.atlbucketlist.

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. This is Reec, of course we do our show every day right here on Media Campus West. I am a radio personality; I have been on a couple of tv shows here and there. The main thing you will find me working is with the non-profit organization Positive American Youth.

    Q. Behind the scenes, what was the biggest challenge you’ve had?

    A. Just getting people to come on the show. Some people did not come until they saw other celebrities come. So, thank you to all the ones that showed up for me.

    Q. If you could give a positive message to the audience right now, what would it be?

    A. Stay consistent in whatever you are doing, and you are going to win. Most people do not have to be talented or have the most money, they just stay constant. It is going to be people who are better than you, but will they outwork you? The game does not change the players do. Just stay consistent.
