If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I have lived in Brickell for 15 years, so we are going to hit Miami Beach and the iconic Versace House for the famous Sushi for lunch. Grab a workout on the sand at Miami’s version of Muscle Beach in LA, take a dip in the ocean on South Beach. For dinner, it is definitely PM fish and steakhouse and off to Zuma Sushi for late-night eats and to catch a celeb. In the am we will hit Latin Cafe for the best breakfast this side of the river and take a dip in my pool at The Bond. Definitely a train trip to the Dadeland Mall for a new MK bag and late-night music on Calle Ocho.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
