somewhere on a Allen, you know, with me sitting on
the beach, you know, drinking my peanut colada, the usual suspects.

let's recreate our first honeymoon. And trustingly, twenty years ago,
you know, a young y Carr who was just trying

we stayed at a hotel in downtown Atlanta, and we
really had the best time of our life. We rode
the horse carriages, I know they don't we don't really
see a lot of those anymore. We just hung out
in the city. I think it was Planet Hollywood or

or no, it's not there anyway, but it was like
the best time, you know for us just to be
together and enjoy each other's company. So we did stay

Oh no she didn't. Oh I know this one for dny.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Okay which lovely East Master mator o G moment is
upon it saying I had to just end with this
with our smjor o G. The trade that was heard
around the world. Ad to the maps, look to the
Leatos blockbuster NBA trade.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
It just sent shockwaves all across the world.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Anthony Davis, look, God, Donna, look, it was a stunning
move that hasn't so many shockwaves. Of course, I'll tell
you I was on my bak action when all of
this happened, but I kind of came in late, but
I did see it.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I did tweet it a little bit later than normal.
But it's okay. A girl is allowed to rest.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
But back to the story at end, of course, in
the stunning move that again just sent shockwaves through the
basketball community Los Angers.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Lakers. They traded Anthony Davis to.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Dous map This change for Luca Donna, This jaw dropping
trade again, it just immediately reshaped the future of both
franchises and raised the countless question about how each team
will adapt to their new roster dynamic. You know, maps
Ad they secured a premier two way player known for
(27:20):
his defensive prowess and his scoring abilities. You know, pearing
Davis with Kyrie creates a firmative duo. But however, Davis
does have injury history, right, could be a concern. You know, Lakers,
they're welcoming a new era with Donald now, Luka it is,
(27:49):
let's not get a choice. He's an exceptional playmaker. Scoring
capabilities make him ideal candidate to carre the franchise moving forward.
But the move also prompts speculations, Right, what about Lebron
James future with the team? What's gonna happen? This could
be an inkling up. Forty year old Lebron has previous
(28:12):
hinted at a possibility of retirement in the near future,
of course, he said in November, he stated, I'm not
going to play that much longer. To be completely honest,
so the rival of Luca could be seen as the
Lakers preparing well the future without James, leading many to
question whether this trade indicates that retirement is closer than

Speaker 5 (30:20):
My next guest received her NBA from Harvard Business School.
After what she worked at General Mills and the Coca
Cola Company. She began her career as an entrepreneur to
leverage her industry and consumer knowledge to build valuable ideas
centered on food and family sports levelies. Please welcome founder
and CEO of Living Erica Total to Jickson spool.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Erica.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Welcome, Welcome to JICKSI Sports. Can you just tell me
what inspired you to create Living and how does your
background influence the way the company serves active families.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Yeah, great question, and thank you so much for having me.
I'm excited to have this conversation. So I really became
more interested in starting something like living when I was
challenged with my own young at the time but increasingly
active family and finding ways for us to eat well.
I had grown up in a household that really you know,
(31:18):
valued coming together over a meal, a home cooked meal,
you know, fresh ingredients, thinking about our nutrition through food,
all of those things. And as I got older and
I you know, started building my own family with my
husband and had my own you know, job and career
that was growing, I just found that the time pressures
that I had on me, uh, really made it difficult
(31:41):
to manage meals well. There were a lot of options,
and we tried many of them, but none of them
really provided us with the nutrition, the convenience, and also
the enjoyment that we were looking for. And so Livin
really came out of that challenge that upbringing and my
desire to help only was like my own you know,
(32:01):
affordably have better meals in the home without having to
do it yourself. And so that's what Yeah, So that's
what we do. And my background, as you asked, was
really in the food space. So I started off actually
my first job at college was in services. I was
at American Express. But after grad school, I did want
to go into food and I wanted to go into
(32:21):
brand management to manage a business holistically, and so that's
what I did. I went to General Mills, got a
lot of exposure exposure excuse me, to the food business
and how it operated, how convenient foods operate. But then
I also had the opportunity to come down to Atlanta,
which is where I am now, and work at Coca Cola,
and there as well, I ended up leading the Coca
(32:44):
Cola brand food strategy, so thinking about moments of food
and Coca Cola, and so my team spent a lot
of time on that and just learning kind of the
continuous struggle people had with food and nutrition and convenience
and seeing it in my own life, not only through
my career, but through raising my family, it became very
clear that this was something I needed to do.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
I love it. I love it now.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Of course, I just want to jump in and talk
a little bit about the parents of young athletes and
how they've kind of struggle with mill preps just due
to their headtic schedules.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Now, how does live and help alleviate some of that
stress while Issuran kids can get that nutrition that is needed.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, absolutely, So I myself am in face with this.
So my son is very into soccer and so his
schedule is now all soccer. Yes, yeah, and so we
are in the thick of that, and I do use
living and so it's been amazing for us as a
family because what happens is you're either at practice, or
(33:46):
you're at a tournament, or you're at a game, and
often those can take all day, and so right the
alternatives really are drive through if you want something quick
and easy. Sometimes you might have something in the freezer
or something in the fridge that you have or have ordered,
and the reality is that those things do not provide
you the nutrition that you or your child who is
(34:07):
very active needs. And I always tell people, I'm like,
you know, think about the last meal kid's meal you
ordered and was there anything green? Was there a vegetable
in there anywhere? Probably not? And so Livin really does
focus on fresh ingredients, but also you know, ensuring that
there is a balance there so that you do have
the vegetables, you do have lean proteins, that sort of thing,
(34:29):
and you have the option to customize. Right when you
have someone coming into your home as living chefs, do
you can customize for you know, maybe they do need
extra protein for their sports schedule, maybe they need extra carbs.
There are a lot of different requirements depending on the
activity your child is involved in, and that's something that
your living chef can absolutely help you with.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I know you just kind of spook about it just
a little bit, just touched on it, just a small,
tiny bit.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
But can you just talk about just the process of
just living in home shelf services? How does it work
from just selecting like the shelf to milk planning and
just preparation.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
How does this process work? Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Great question. Can this somewhat new for people? I think
a lot of people think about having a personal shop
service as one being really expensive, but then two requiring
like some sort of special occasion, right, not an everyday thing.
But what live in is trying to do, and what
we do is we make it possible for you to
have someone cook your meals and prepare your meals in
(35:32):
your home for a really reasonable price and make it
every day. So what happens today customers can come to
choose live in dot com and that's really where the
magic begins. You're able to, you know, start by looking
at our menu, start thinking about when you might want
(35:53):
to have a chef come to you from our site,
you're able to select a date for your service. You
can also, if you subscribe, request specific chefs and you
select your menu and the menu changes monthly, so you
get some really great variety. But you also have the
option to customize right, so you can add notes and
provide color to the chefs so that they know how
(36:13):
to best service you and your family. And that's really it.
It literally takes minutes to place an order and then
the chefs in our network will be provided with that
job essentially, so they get that alert and they're able
to review all of your notes and to your menu items.
They get the recipes from Living and it makes it
really easy for them to provide excellent meal prep services
(36:36):
in your home, which means that you get a fresh, homemade,
more nutritious meal and they get a really awesome career
and work experience opportunity. So that's really how it works.
It's as easy as going to the site, placing an
order like you might do for any other kind of
food ordering site, and then just being prepared with tupperware
(36:57):
and an open door for your chef when they arrive.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Easy. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Now is there like a membership to kind of join
or how does that work as well?
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Yes, so we do both. There is a one time option,
but then also subscription, so you can absolutely do one
time and sometimes, you know, for busy families, that's what
it comes down to. It's like, this is just a
crazy week. You know, we're going to be on the
fields all weekend. We're going to need somebody to come
in and give us an extra set of hands or
some of our families know that, you know, ongoing their
(37:27):
schedule really does demand that they have some more help,
and so they can sign up for a subscription. And
the difference is there one time really is you're just
ordering a one time service a subscription. While it's completely flexible.
You are saying, Okay, I'm going to have a chef
come in at least once a month, and that can range.
You might say it's multiple times a month or whatever
it is that you need. But it does come with
(37:48):
a ten percent discount. You also have the opportunity to
request your chefs as I mentioned before, and you get
to keep your favorites. So if you have favorite menu items,
but that becomes like a custom menu for you that
is always available despite the fact that we change our
menu monthly.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I love that now.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I know, like, just in this crazy world, sometimes one
chef may not kind of fit for the family that
they kind of pick out. So is there a situation
where families can try different chefs under the subscription or
are they stuck.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
With that saying no, you can absolutely try different chefs.
You can try different chefs, different menu items, your men.
You can change every week from the selection that we
have available. And that's really great and I actually always
recommend it because every chef is different, right there, individuals,
and so they might seize the a little differently, they
might bring a little bit of different personality, and so
(38:41):
I always encourage families to find a few chefs that
they really love and just kind of build their team.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
I love it, love it, love it. That is wonderful.
That Erica, before you go, I know you're here in Atlanta,

you know what, we have so much to talk about.
(02:04):
You know, Look, I have to get the apology out there, guys.
I know, I know Saturday was a bus I was
not able to do the show, but I have a
valid reason, sports loveliest, Look, it was my twenty eighth
wedding anniversary, so I had to spend time with my
boot thing, right, I had to do the little stay caction.
But look, sports lovelies, I want to know this. It's
(02:25):
staycations a thing. I was pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And let me tell you this.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
The background of our staycation. We definitely wanted to kind of,
you know, stay at home. We didn't really have time
to do the normal or the usual thing of going
somewhere on a Allen, you know, with me sitting on
the beach, you know, drinking my peanut colada, the usual suspects.
So whatever you want to say or you know that,
(02:52):
I love to do and love to drink, but most importantly,
I just enjoyed spending time with my significant other. I
will say twenty it's just very is a very very
long time for like eternity. But it was a beautiful
things for slutly.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
My husband wanted to do this staycation was like, look,
let's recreate our first honeymoon. And trustingly, twenty years ago,
you know, a young y Carr who was just trying
to figure out life and everything else to being a
young mom. We didn't have a lot of money, so
we definitely wanted to do something a little different, you know,
(03:30):
this time around. So the first time, our first honeymoon,
we stayed at a hotel in downtown Atlanta, and we
really had the best time of our life. We rode
the horse carriages, I know they don't we don't really
see a lot of those anymore. We just hung out
in the city. I think it was Planet Hollywood or
(03:51):
I can't even remember what was it, Planet hot Hollywood
or no, it's not there anyway, but it was like
the best time, you know for us just to be
together and enjoy each other's company. So we did stay
and you know, the same hotel twenty eight years later,
and my takeaway from that experiences. I really, you know,
(04:14):
am digging my significant other right now. Okay, now ask
me next week. I may not have that same.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I used.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Just kidding, I'm just kidding. But second takeaway is, yeah,
I love Atlanta. There's no other place I would rather
be than Georgia. Okay, this is my home. This is
where I love this home. Movie always Atlanta will always
to be home. I'll forever be four all four. But
(04:43):
I definitely wanted to put it out there about these staycations.
Seems to be a thing. I've had friends kind of
co sign on what we should do and where should
we should stay at.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm like, but I would rather be on They're all
and so we're sipping my pancle. Lot of it sucks

really truly enjoyed it. Shout out to our hotel, the
Maria where keys. Those employees were really, really, really thoughtful.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
You know, time to rid of those demons, whether it's
in counseling or whether it is just going out to
just do a woosaw moment and figure it out. You know,
nothing but positive things had it his way. We're sending

As far as her shoe goes, she did mention the

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh no she didn't. Oh I know this one for dny.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Okay which lovely East Master mator o G moment is
upon it saying I had to just end with this
with our smjor o G. The trade that was heard
around the world. Ad to the maps, look to the
Leatos blockbuster NBA trade.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
It just sent shockwaves all across the world.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Anthony Davis, look, God, Donna, look, it was a stunning
move that hasn't so many shockwaves. Of course, I'll tell
you I was on my bak action when all of
this happened, but I kind of came in late, but
I did see it.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I did tweet it a little bit later than normal.
But it's okay. A girl is allowed to rest.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
But back to the story at end, of course, in
the stunning move that again just sent shockwaves through the
basketball community Los Angers.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Lakers. They traded Anthony Davis to.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Dous map This change for Luca Donna, This jaw dropping
trade again, it just immediately reshaped the future of both
franchises and raised the countless question about how each team
will adapt to their new roster dynamic. You know, maps
Ad they secured a premier two way player known for
(27:20):
his defensive prowess and his scoring abilities. You know, pearing
Davis with Kyrie creates a firmative duo. But however, Davis
does have injury history, right, could be a concern. You know, Lakers,
they're welcoming a new era with Donald now, Luka it is,
(27:49):
let's not get a choice. He's an exceptional playmaker. Scoring
capabilities make him ideal candidate to carre the franchise moving forward.
But the move also prompts speculations, Right, what about Lebron
James future with the team? What's gonna happen? This could
be an inkling up. Forty year old Lebron has previous
(28:12):
hinted at a possibility of retirement in the near future,
of course, he said in November, he stated, I'm not
going to play that much longer. To be completely honest,
so the rival of Luca could be seen as the
Lakers preparing well the future without James, leading many to
question whether this trade indicates that retirement is closer than
(28:34):
ever for the NBA all time needs score. Here's the thing,
there's a lot to be said. It's a lot to
be said. A lot of people was in a total
up war and just outrage. The true impact of this
trade will unfold us the cities and progresses. But one
(28:56):
thing is certain, the NBA lascape has been very, very
irrevocably altered. Okay, and that is my smh ojie moment

Speaker 5 (30:20):
My next guest received her NBA from Harvard Business School.
After what she worked at General Mills and the Coca
Cola Company. She began her career as an entrepreneur to
leverage her industry and consumer knowledge to build valuable ideas
centered on food and family sports levelies. Please welcome founder
and CEO of Living Erica Total to Jickson spool.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Erica.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Welcome, Welcome to JICKSI Sports. Can you just tell me
what inspired you to create Living and how does your
background influence the way the company serves active families.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Yeah, great question, and thank you so much for having me.
I'm excited to have this conversation. So I really became
more interested in starting something like living when I was
challenged with my own young at the time but increasingly
active family and finding ways for us to eat well.
I had grown up in a household that really you know,
(31:18):
valued coming together over a meal, a home cooked meal,
you know, fresh ingredients, thinking about our nutrition through food,
all of those things. And as I got older and
I you know, started building my own family with my
husband and had my own you know, job and career
that was growing, I just found that the time pressures
that I had on me, uh, really made it difficult
(31:41):
to manage meals well. There were a lot of options,
and we tried many of them, but none of them
really provided us with the nutrition, the convenience, and also
the enjoyment that we were looking for. And so Livin
really came out of that challenge that upbringing and my
desire to help only was like my own you know,
(32:01):
affordably have better meals in the home without having to
do it yourself. And so that's what Yeah, So that's
what we do. And my background, as you asked, was
really in the food space. So I started off actually
my first job at college was in services. I was
at American Express. But after grad school, I did want
to go into food and I wanted to go into
(32:21):
brand management to manage a business holistically, and so that's
what I did. I went to General Mills, got a
lot of exposure exposure excuse me, to the food business
and how it operated, how convenient foods operate. But then
I also had the opportunity to come down to Atlanta,
which is where I am now, and work at Coca Cola,
and there as well, I ended up leading the Coca
(32:44):
Cola brand food strategy, so thinking about moments of food
and Coca Cola, and so my team spent a lot
of time on that and just learning kind of the
continuous struggle people had with food and nutrition and convenience
and seeing it in my own life, not only through
my career, but through raising my family, it became very
clear that this was something I needed to do.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
I love it. I love it now.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Of course, I just want to jump in and talk
a little bit about the parents of young athletes and
how they've kind of struggle with mill preps just due
to their headtic schedules.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Now, how does live and help alleviate some of that
stress while Issuran kids can get that nutrition that is needed.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, absolutely, So I myself am in face with this.
So my son is very into soccer and so his
schedule is now all soccer. Yes, yeah, and so we
are in the thick of that, and I do use
living and so it's been amazing for us as a
family because what happens is you're either at practice, or
(33:46):
you're at a tournament, or you're at a game, and
often those can take all day, and so right the
alternatives really are drive through if you want something quick
and easy. Sometimes you might have something in the freezer
or something in the fridge that you have or have ordered,
and the reality is that those things do not provide
you the nutrition that you or your child who is
(34:07):
very active needs. And I always tell people, I'm like,
you know, think about the last meal kid's meal you
ordered and was there anything green? Was there a vegetable
in there anywhere? Probably not? And so Livin really does
focus on fresh ingredients, but also you know, ensuring that
there is a balance there so that you do have
the vegetables, you do have lean proteins, that sort of thing,
(34:29):
and you have the option to customize. Right when you
have someone coming into your home as living chefs, do
you can customize for you know, maybe they do need
extra protein for their sports schedule, maybe they need extra carbs.
There are a lot of different requirements depending on the
activity your child is involved in, and that's something that
your living chef can absolutely help you with.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I know you just kind of spook about it just
a little bit, just touched on it, just a small,
tiny bit.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
But can you just talk about just the process of
just living in home shelf services? How does it work
from just selecting like the shelf to milk planning and
just preparation.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
How does this process work? Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Great question. Can this somewhat new for people? I think
a lot of people think about having a personal shop
service as one being really expensive, but then two requiring
like some sort of special occasion, right, not an everyday thing.
But what live in is trying to do, and what
we do is we make it possible for you to
have someone cook your meals and prepare your meals in
(35:32):
your home for a really reasonable price and make it
every day. So what happens today customers can come to
choose live in dot com and that's really where the
magic begins. You're able to, you know, start by looking
at our menu, start thinking about when you might want
(35:53):
to have a chef come to you from our site,
you're able to select a date for your service. You
can also, if you subscribe, request specific chefs and you
select your menu and the menu changes monthly, so you
get some really great variety. But you also have the
option to customize right, so you can add notes and
provide color to the chefs so that they know how
(36:13):
to best service you and your family. And that's really it.
It literally takes minutes to place an order and then
the chefs in our network will be provided with that
job essentially, so they get that alert and they're able
to review all of your notes and to your menu items.
They get the recipes from Living and it makes it
really easy for them to provide excellent meal prep services
(36:36):
in your home, which means that you get a fresh, homemade,
more nutritious meal and they get a really awesome career
and work experience opportunity. So that's really how it works.
It's as easy as going to the site, placing an
order like you might do for any other kind of
food ordering site, and then just being prepared with tupperware
(36:57):
and an open door for your chef when they arrive.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Easy. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Now is there like a membership to kind of join
or how does that work as well?
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Yes, so we do both. There is a one time option,
but then also subscription, so you can absolutely do one
time and sometimes, you know, for busy families, that's what
it comes down to. It's like, this is just a
crazy week. You know, we're going to be on the
fields all weekend. We're going to need somebody to come
in and give us an extra set of hands or
some of our families know that, you know, ongoing their
(37:27):
schedule really does demand that they have some more help,
and so they can sign up for a subscription. And
the difference is there one time really is you're just
ordering a one time service a subscription. While it's completely flexible.
You are saying, Okay, I'm going to have a chef
come in at least once a month, and that can range.
You might say it's multiple times a month or whatever
it is that you need. But it does come with
(37:48):
a ten percent discount. You also have the opportunity to
request your chefs as I mentioned before, and you get
to keep your favorites. So if you have favorite menu items,
but that becomes like a custom menu for you that
is always available despite the fact that we change our
menu monthly.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I love that now.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I know, like, just in this crazy world, sometimes one
chef may not kind of fit for the family that
they kind of pick out. So is there a situation
where families can try different chefs under the subscription or
are they stuck.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
With that saying no, you can absolutely try different chefs.
You can try different chefs, different menu items, your men.
You can change every week from the selection that we
have available. And that's really great and I actually always
recommend it because every chef is different, right there, individuals,
and so they might seize the a little differently, they
might bring a little bit of different personality, and so
(38:41):
I always encourage families to find a few chefs that
they really love and just kind of build their team.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
I love it, love it, love it. That is wonderful.
That Erica, before you go, I know you're here in Atlanta,

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
