Hello, Melissa Franks. Welcome to All In with Allie. How you doing? I am good. I'm so happy to be here with you today.

I am so excited to have you. So we were just talking. So Melissa, she and I worked together until just a couple weeks ago. We were like meeting every

single week, talking not every day, but most, you know, most days I feel like. And I felt like such,

I was so integrated in your life and like real life and your business too. So it's been a

couple weeks. So I'm selfishly excited to catch up with you, but then also to pick your brain as

well because you bring, I mean, there's just not only so many interesting things going on in

your life that you

have so much wisdom to share with us, but also so much genius related to scaling and

optimizing businesses as well that obviously everybody is going to be pumped to hear about.

So first, let's get started. Let's catch

everybody up to speed on who you are, what your background is, how you got here today.

That is a fantastic question. And a loaded one, I know. A hundred percent. And you know what's funny is that in

the corporate world, you get coached very early to have an elevator pitch, you know, about who you are.

So like what they love to tell you is that if you got into the elevator with the CEO and you,

you know, only had the amount of time that it took to get to the bottom floor, what would you say?

And you get a lot of coaching around that. And what I have found is that it just doesn't do it justice as far as I'm

concerned because my story is really interesting. But what I will say, first and foremost,

I'm a mom of three boys. They are 14, 12, and 10. And to everybody, let's just pause right there. Let's just pause right there

and bow down and go on. Oh, man. I will say I did it on purpose. I hated being pregnant. So the

goal was to get it done as fast as possible. You know, so I wanted a big,

full house of rambunctious boys. That was what I picked. The universe gives you what you can handle

and they knew I couldn't handle another one of me. But I professionally, I was a hustler. Like at 15 years
