Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jasmine Hood
Founder of Better Bodies Massage in Atlanta (originally from Greenville, South Carolina), joined Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to share her journey from CNA to licensed massage therapist, the realities of being a traveling service provider, and the wellness benefits of massage therapy.
She discusses body alignment, stress, trauma release, the differences between massage modalities, alternative treatments like cupping, entrepreneurship during COVID‑19, safety considerations for mobile therapists, corporate/wellness partnerships, and her long‑term goal of building a scalable massage brand supported by contractors.
🎯 Purpose of the Interview
The interview aims to:
- Highlight how massage therapy supports physical and emotional wellness, including stress, posture, and pain relief.
- Educate listeners on the types of massages, proper stretching techniques, and how body tension accumulates.
- Explore entrepreneurship in the wellness space, including launching a business during COVID‑19.
- Discuss safety and professionalism in mobile massage therapy.
- Show how Jasmine is building a sustainable small business through networking, corporate events, and contractor partnerships.
🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Career Shift & Fearless Beginnings
- Jasmine switched from working as a CNA to moving to Atlanta alone with no support system—motivated by a desire for change and inspired by her mother’s independence.
- She emphasized overcoming fear and taking leaps even when circumstances are uncertain.
2. Massage Therapy Is Both Physical & Emotional Healing
- Massage releases tension, trauma, and stress stored in the body, especially in the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
- Many people carry pain from work, daily habits, or emotional strain—and massage helps restore balance.
3. The Three Most Popular Massage Types
Jasmine explained the differences clearly:
- Swedish Massage — Gentle, relaxing, ideal for beginners and stress relief.
- Deep Tissue — Targets chronic pain and trigger points but may be intense for clients who are not accustomed to it.
- Sports Massage — Faster movements, stretching, and ideal for athletes.
She stressed that deep tissue should not be rushed—the muscle needs warming before intense pressure.
4. Stretching Is Critical—Most People Do It Wrong
- Stretching should be held 30 seconds to 1 minute, not quick movements or rolling the neck.
- Consistent stretching prevents the “tight forward lean” posture many people develop.
- Lower‑body stretches (glutes, hamstrings, hips) dramatically improve back pain.
5. Travel Massage: Safety, Boundaries & Professionalism
- Jasmine screens new clients by phone before accepting appointments.
- She immediately declines inappropriate requests (e.g., sexualized services).
- She only sees first‑time clients during daylight and shares her location with trusted contacts.
- She maintains a clear, therapeutic-only brand despite public misconceptions.
6. Entrepreneurship Journey & Business Model
- She built her business during COVID‑19, initially offering lower prices, then raising them as

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley Joi Boyd.
Interview Purpose
The purpose of this interview is to explore the intersection of creativity, financial literacy, ownership, and personal resilience, using Ashley Joi Boyd’s journey as a Grammy‑nominated songwriter, music publisher, real estate developer, and author as a powerful case study.
Through honest conversation, Ashley reframes success in the entertainment industry beyond fame and hits, emphasizing business ownership, financial education, mindset, and long‑term wealth building. The interview also serves as an empowerment message—particularly for women—demonstrating that financial setbacks, including bankruptcy, can become turning points rather than permanent barriers.
Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Songwriting Is the Heart—and the Business—of Music
Ashley explains that songwriting is not just creativity; it is the foundation of lasting success in the music industry. While artists may earn from performances, writers and publishers earn from ownership, collecting royalties every time a song is played, streamed, or used globally.
Key takeaway: Creativity generates income, but ownership generates wealth.
2. Publishing Is Where the Real Money Lives
Ashley highlights that music publishing—not performing—is the most lucrative side of the industry. By owning her publishing company, she positioned herself to earn long‑term, recurring income rather than relying on one‑time payments or constant touring.
Key takeaway: Understanding back‑end revenue streams is critical in any industry.
3. Business Knowledge Creates Leverage
Raised in an entertainment household, Ashley learned early the importance of understanding contracts, rights, and percentages. She famously walked away from a publishing deal that demanded 75% ownership—choosing long‑term control over short‑term opportunity.
Key takeaway: Walking away from the wrong deal can be the right decision.
4. Opportunity Meets Preparation
Ashley’s collaboration on Justin Bieber’s hit “Yummy” did not happen overnight. It was the result of years of preparation, proven skill, respect for her craft, and being ready when the door opened.
Key takeaway: Access opens doors, but preparation determines what happens next.
5. Financial Collapse Can Become Financial Education
Ashley openly discusses filing for bankruptcy after the 2008 housing crash—a moment she describes as devastating but transformative. With no guidance at the time, she was forced to learn money management the hard way, reshaping her relationship with credit, debt, and planning.
Key takeaway: Bankruptcy is not the end—it can be the beginning of financial mastery.
6. Financial Literacy Is Often Untaught—but Essential
Ashley stresses that many people, especially women, are never taught how to manage money, credit, or wealth. This gap inspired her book Financially Fly: Mastering Money and Wealth for Women, written to create a safe, honest space for financial conversations.
Key takeaway: Making money is not the same as knowing how to keep or grow it.
7. Wealth Is About Structure, Not Just Cash
In defining generational wealth, Ashley emphasizes trusts, insurance policies, estate planning, and real estate—structures that protect families long after income stops.
Key takeaway: Generational wealth is built with systems, n
