Love it. Love it, love it, love it. Amazing, Jamie Hess. So, you know, you've been all over TV, right? Good Morning America, The View. You're the queen of QVC, as I like to say that you are. Like, how do you handle, in a good way, the busyness that you have, right? Because you fly to go interview your guests for your podcast. You're still a mother. You're still a wife.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Like, how does Jamie handle the busyness?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
You are amazing.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Probably not.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
See, I need that too, because people laugh because the question that I asked you, I get asked literally the same thing. And it's like, I sleep four hours a night. And they're like, what? And I'm like, no, I promise. But I'm refreshed every day. I wake up like this, right? Like I'm good. I just don't, for whatever reason, require a lot of sleep.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
But people like Jamie, those wellness experts, those wellness gurus are like, Mick, you need eight hours of sleep. And I'm like, there is no way in the world I can find an additional four hours to sleep. So I'm with you. 2025, I'm going to go to five hours. I'm going to do five hours of sleep in 2025.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Okay, Jamie, fine. Beacon 40, though, you know, I like a hack. So you know, I'll do four hours of that and four hours of sleeping. There we go. There we go. So no, I love that. And I want to give a couple of other tips from Jamie to the viewers and listeners. So what else when we talk about wellness, and tying it to gratitude, what are some things that people can be doing on a regular basis?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I hate saying daily because to me like daily becomes almost impossible. But if I say regular, then I can build it up to daily. So what are some things that people can be doing on a regular basis?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
See? See? And that's why I'm a huge fan of you and love everything that you do. And, you know, on Make Unplay, Jamie, we talk about your because. Right. That thing that's deeper than your why that really tells us or not even tells us, but tells you like that purpose, that mission that you have. So for the listeners and viewers, I'd love to share or hear Jamie's because what is Jamie's because?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
That's amazing. That's a masterclass lesson in and of itself. Like I'm taking that mental note because I feel like you were talking to me.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Yeah.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Yeah. I love that. I love that. Me and my buddies, we have a thing that we call a checkup from the neck up, right? Like just randomly out of the blue, we're going to call each other just to, how's life? And we have a rule also, and I will tell you this, if you're the receiver of these calls, We have a rule where you have to be honest.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
If you're not having a good day, like tell that person you're not having a good day, right? Like those are our rules. Like we don't fake it till we make it. Like we're very honest and transparent. And so I'd like to add that on too, Jamie. Just when you're the receiver of that call, be honest because honesty is the key to self-improvement as well.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Yep. Yeah, love it. Jamie, you blessed us with so much. This was truly a masterclass, like truly a masterclass. But before I get you out of here, I need to go rapid fire with Jamie Hess. You ready? All right. The best meal that Jamie cooks herself.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Love it.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
So Jamie doesn't cook.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Okay, so what's one thing that Jamie is amazing at that most people don't know?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
That's better, actually. That's better in today's world, for sure. All right, so we just learned Jamie doesn't cook. Jamie's a prototypical, A-strung planner, organizer, right? What's a weakness for Jamie?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I love that. I love that. So Jamie, where can people follow and find you?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Love it. I will have the links to all of that in the show notes and descriptions. For all the viewers and listeners, I promise you, Jamie's phenomenal. You probably already know Jamie's phenomenal, but like her Instagram's amazing. She goes a little, not all the time behind the scenes, but you get to see a lot of bubbly personality. You get to hear the truth. I freaking love you, Jamie Hess.
Mick Unplugged

Just want you to know that.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
There you go. And for all the viewers and listeners, remember your because is your superpower. Go in
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Thank you for tuning in to Make Unplugged. Keep pushing your limits, embracing your purpose, and chasing greatness. Until next time, stay unstoppable.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I love that so much. I love that so much. And, you know, again, I'm a huge fan of you. And you talk about the greatness and the fulfillment of every day. And one of my mentors is Les Brown, and he shares that same insight of you. And he's like, Mick, you know, I love days. Every day is a great day. You know why? And I'm like, why? Try missing one. Try missing a day.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Try not being here and see what that's like. And I'm like... I get what you're saying. And so I totally get it. And when I listen to your podcast and I hear your story and not to go there and talk about gratitudeology like immediately, but that's what I feel from you. I feel that you are just so thankful of the moments. And I think that's something that people miss.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Again, huge fan of you, the content that you're putting out, the platforms that you have. It's about enjoying and embracing those moments, not just even a full day, a full week. It's the moments of the day, the moments of the week. I'd love for you to go a little bit deeper in just how you take that appreciation because it's something the world needs.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
What does Jamie's become?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I feel that you were just so thankful of the moments. And I think that's something that people miss.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
So for the listener or viewer that's watching or hearing this, and they're at that moment where it's the bad self talk, or as I like to call it, the false self, right? Like it's not your true self. What are a couple of things that people can do to limit those type of conversations that we all have on a regular basis?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
What are a couple of things that people can do to limit those type of conversations that we all have on a regular basis?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I love what you said there about being told what you do wrong. So, you know, I talked to a neuropsychologist. Not for me personally, but just to talk about life, right? Maybe for me personally, but whatever. We won't go there, Jamie. And he said, you know, Mick, here's what our society has taught us for five million years, right? When you're born, you're taught your name and the word no, right?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
You know everything you're not supposed to do. And like, it's ingrained in us. No, no, no. When you're hired onto a job, you're taught no. The rules and the things not to do. You're never taught fulfillment. You're never taught appreciation. And even like the best, most competitive athletes in the world are the best self-driven people.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
I like to think I'm a very high strung, self-driven person, right? But you still appreciate small wins. And that's what we don't do enough of. And so when I talk to leaders, I talk about those things, right? Like, how do you show appreciation more than you feel like you should? Because people need that. As humans, we need that. And how do you celebrate small wins?
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
Because people want to know they're doing the right things that are helping companies grow, that are helping to add the contribution to the direction that we're going, not just when we do something wrong or what to look out for. And so, again, those are things that I see in you and in hearing the messages that you're delivering on your platforms as well.
Mick Unplugged
Jamie Hess | Cultivating Resilience: Jamie Hess's Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Gratitude
So I wanted to just say thank you for bringing that up today, because that's something that I feel the world needs more of.

Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
Like it's well-written, it's well-performed, but you also touch on cultural issues, societal issues, and you're not afraid to do that. And you're going to understand this when I say it. A lot of people are afraid to have those conversations and bring them out to the world. You don't hold back.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
You make it funny when it's supposed to be funny, serious when it's supposed to be serious, but most importantly, you make it very relatable. And when you touch on those moments and those situations or those topics, it's like, yeah, we need to talk about this. We needed to talk about it. And then you can go to the barbershop or the beauty salon Did you see what Mo Brown was talking about?

Mick Unplugged

Let's go. I love it. I love it. So, you know, career, amazing entertainer, entrepreneur, right? Voiceover actress, amazing in all the fields of entertainment, but it had to start somewhere, right? And I'll make a plug. We talk about your because, that thing that's deeper than your why. When Mo was just getting started, what was your because? What was that drive?
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
What was that purpose for you that said, not only can I do this, but doggone it, I'm Mo Brown. I can dominate.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career

And so for the listeners and viewers now, let's talk about your journey in entertainment, right? Like, like, where did you start in the entertainment space? How'd you get in? And what was it like in those early moments?
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
When Mo was just getting started, what was your because? What was that drive? What was that purpose for you that said, not only can I do this, but doggone it, I'm Mo Brown. I can dominate.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
44. I don't want to shortchange you because you'll hit me up for those $3. I know Mo. I thought it was 41 or 44, but I think it was 44. So you have $44 in pennies. You go to the bank. But what I want the listeners and viewers to understand what Mo really said was she believed in herself. She had a vision. She had a plan.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
What would Mo tell that person that's like, no, go be the opportunity, go do it?
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
I think a lot of times we are waiting for that someone else or that something else, right? I can't tell you how many people that I initially interact with that are like, Mick, if I could just get a door to open for me, if I could just get an opportunity, I'm like, no. You are the opportunity. And that's what I love about Mo is in that moment, you were like, I am the opportunity.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
And I'd love for you to go a little bit deeper that for the listener and viewer that's like, I'm waiting for something. What would Mo tell that person that's like, no, go be the opportunity. Go do it.
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
No, no, you did. You did amazing. So that that listener or viewer that's like, I'm waiting in Mo's mind is you don't wait, you go do right. Like, what's something that they can start doing now? Like, what's that one thing or that one, that one spark, that one piece of sugar wisdom that you want to give them?
Mick Unplugged
Mo Brown Suga | Strategies for Success: Mo Brown Suga Discusses Health and Career
That's it.
Mick Unplugged

But you are a leader. Right. There are people that depend on you.
Mick Unplugged

Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey
And a lot of times, and I want to take what you said a little bit further, a lot of times people will go through some type of exercise like that. And it stays on paper.
Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey
And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is who I am. But then they don't exude any of the qualities that they actually put on paper because either one, they don't believe it. Two, they don't know how to actually put action behind the things that they did. Or three, and this is what I think a lot happens, that changes daily.
Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey
Like whoever they're trying to please or whatever entity they're trying to please that day, that week, that month. They try to chameleon what they think people want them to be or how they should be seen. And that's why I appreciate Diamond Hall. Diamond Hall is Diamond Hall every day. And you said something that I want a lot of people that are watching or listening to pick up on.
Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey
You've got to work at it every day. You've got to be a constant learner. You've got to be constantly evolving because who you are today, to Diamond's point, is not who you're going to be or should be tomorrow or next month or whatever. And so, Diamond, I want to go ask you to go deeper on something because, you know, obviously you follow Mick Unplugged and we talk about your because.
Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey
that thing that's deeper than your why. And to me, everything that you put on there, what you're asking people is what's your because, right? Like, what's your because? So I'd love to ask Diamond, like 14-year-old Diamond, after the incident and everything that you had built yourself to be and every goal and vision that you had for the first 14 years could no longer happen.
Mick Unplugged
Diamyn Hall | From Paralysis to Purpose: Diamyn Hall's Journey

So let's talk about those two, the lessons and mentorship you got from LL and Babyface, because, you know, LL said something recently and I totally agree.

Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
Yeah, and you know, Kim, I love the fact that you are a trailblazer, right? And I wholeheartedly believe in mentorship. And for me, mentorship is wisdom. Right. Like it's not experience, it's wisdom. It's like, hey, you should do this because it's a lesson learned from me. Right. And I totally see you as being that mentor. And for you, it was probably a little bit harder starting out. Right.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
Because you crossed over and did things that most people, I'm being honest, that look like us don't get to do like voice, film and theater. Like you are the OG. And I mean that lovingly. You are the OG of this. So how did Kim start her trailblazing career without the guidance, the wisdom that you're able to provide people today?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
What is Kim Roberts because?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
So acting, directing, being involved in the arts has been a thing since you were a kid, right? So when did you realize that that was something you actually wanted to do?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
So for me, mentorship is wisdom. Right. Like it's not experience, it's wisdom. It's like, hey, you should do this because it's a lesson learned from me. Right. And I totally see you as being that mentor. And for you, it was probably a little bit harder starting out. Right.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
A couple of things.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
One for the kids listening. Kim says she didn't go to class all the time, right? Like still go to class. Two, what was Diane's last name?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
Yeah, there was a little nepotism going on. That's all I'm saying. No, there's no relation. There was a little nepotism in how you got that role. But it's okay. It's okay.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
So that's how it started. And you've portrayed a wide array of characters across different genres. Yeah. How do you approach... bringing authenticity to such diverse roles. How do you bring Kim into your roles?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
Acting. directing, being involved in the arts has been a thing since you were a kid, right? So when did you realize that that was something you actually wanted to do?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
And when we were on last time, I told you how my nieces and nephews. Right. When I told them that, hey, I'm interviewing Mayor Goodway from Paw Patrol. It was going to be amazing. And I promise you it was. And they still don't believe me. They still don't believe me. They're like, that doesn't sound like Mary Goodall. I'm like, just trust me, it is. Oh, well, tell them. Chickaletta's in the purse.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
She's right over there. Exactly. So how do you prepare for voice acting compared to like on screen or live with theater? Because it's got to be a little different, right? Like you don't get the energy from the person you're working with and all that. So how do you do that?
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
Yeah. So a very smart and talented human being, and I won't say his name out loud, because he'll yell at me. But he told me, Mick, the best entertainers in the world are theatric actors because you've got to be funny. So you got to be a comedian. You've got to be able to sing and you've got to be able to draw the interest and energy from the audience that's there.
Mick Unplugged
Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television: Kim Roberts' Path to Stardom
And you're doing the same thing sometimes multiple times a day, and you've got to bring the same energy. Sometimes you change it up based on what didn't work before and your cast mates have to be able to go with you and you have to be able to go with your cast mates. What does Kim think about that statement?
