We had the good fortune of connecting with Micah Baisden and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Micah, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I’m originally from Albany, Georgia. My upbringings really molded me as man and also as a business owner. My parents taught me how to be strategic with my goals and never take no for an answer if I truly want something. They raised me to always use my logics and never make emotional decisions which translated heavy in business. Also, how to treat people and having manners were instilled in me my whole life so I carried that over as well. Without the upbringing and teachings I had from my youth I honestly don’t know where I would be so I’m grateful for my parents.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
PowerHouse Sports Academy is Fitness Brand We Started In 2016. Out of all the accomplishments we have as a brand the most thing I’m proud of are the lives we get to change for the better through fitness. We truly help people reconstruct their mindset to not only excel in the gym, but in life in general. To see our clientele grow has men and women physically and mentally is priceless. As a brand we got to this point In 2020 by being consistent with our superior customer service and professionalism, the knowledge we pour into our clientele to effectively you grow their bodies through training, and our ability to use various training styles we are skilled at as a brand to ensure variety, fun, and most importantly results for our clients. Nothing in business is easy but it gets easier to manage when you have your logistics and business systems organized and in place. As a business owner you overcome challenges by not panicking keeping your emotions under control and learn how to take problems apart piece by piece. Nothing always goes as planned but nothing will get handled if you’re always frantic. Learn to adjust and keep your cool. What I would like people to know about PowerHouse Sports Academy is that we are a family oriented fitness brand dedicated to getting our clients the results they seek and deserve while correctly reaching them how to train

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Lol ok well since I do like to have a good time when I’m not working some places we would go that have everything you looking for food, drinks, good atmosphere and vibe would be: Escobar on Peters Street I love that place never a dull moment, Encore on Fridays for their happy hour, Instanbul Gyro is nice, Crave, Suite Lounge, The Hive, Fins and Feathers, it’s a lot more but those places are always a good time when I go

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?
As Far as people are concern first and far most God gets all the credit for the success in my story everything has been a blessing since We started in 2016. My Parents of course, my best friend and business partner Justin Windom has been an intricate part in all of this as well. I can’t forget my Mentor Dr. Vernard Hodges who really taught me about running a business and how to keep things simple and effective. To just be me, have a plan, and execute the plan
