The ALL ME® Podcast Atlanta Falcons/THF Partnership– Chris Millman When you think of the NFL, you likely think of the games you watch on TV. For each team you see on the field, there is a whole community behind them that they represent. Because of this, each team in the NFL has a Community Relations department that helps connect that team and that community. In this episode, we talk with Chris Millman from the Atlanta Falcons. Chris is the Vice President of Community Relations for AMB Sports and Entertainment and oversees the CR department for the Falcons and beyond. We talk with Chris about what all goes into running a NFL Community Relations Department, how they make that connection between the team and their fans, and how they grow the sport of football as a whole. We are also talking with Chris because the Atlanta Falcons have been long time supporters of us here at the Taylor Hooton Foundation. We have partnered with the Falcons for many years bringing our message to many of the programs the Falcons have across Georgia and beyond. We talk with Chris about how we got connected, how our partnership has evolved over the years, our most memorable events together, and why the Falcons are supportive of our mission. We cannot thank the Atlanta Falcons and the Arthur Blank Foundation enough for their tremendous support over the years!

The ALL ME® Podcast Energy Drinks: How Significant is the Risk- Dr. John Higgins At some point in your day, have you had that feeling like you need a pick me up to get through the day. Some people start every morning with a cup of coffee. Others feel the need to grab an energy drink to get a boost to get through their diet. BUT, could that energy drink be causing more damage to your body, especially your heart, than you realize.

These ingredients also see an increase in utilization when combined with glucose (i.e. sugar). In this episode, we speak with Dr. John Higgins, Sports Cardiologist, to discuss his research outcomes on the impact energy drinks have on the cardiovascular system in healthy individuals. Dr. Higgins will discuss what ingredients are in these drinks, which ones may be posing a risk, what did his research determine on cardiovascular health and would he recommend consumers drink them?
