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

Hi Mike, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of (R)Evolution is genuineness. At (R)Evolution, everything we do, everything we say, is exactly what it is. There is no BS here. We have truthful, forthright discussions with our patients. (R)Evolution is not artificial. We are sincere, authentic, honest, and trusted. Patients inherently know if this is reality or a disguise. This is who we are!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We officially opened the doors of (R)Evolution July 5, 2021, and have been lucky enough to have thrived since. It was not an easy or simple choice to embark on the journey of becoming a business owner, but I was just ignorant enough to think I could do it, and I did. The challenges were many, but there was no other path. I started this business and it was going to succeed, there was no other option. You overcome by continuing to move forward. There is no turning back.

I have learned a lot of hard lessons over the years. Becoming a business owner has both been the hardest and most fulfilling happening I have encountered in my lifetime. You have to be committed to the business. The majority of time, focus, thought, is spent on and at the office. Relationships can and do suffer, but it was something I was meant to do.

I am the most proud about how (R)Evolution has flourished and grown so quickly, but still maintaining the vision and not wavering in any way. I opened the doors July of 2021 in Decatur, GA, and have been awarded Best MedSpa Decatur 2022, 2023, 2024, and enshrined in the Decatur Business Hall Of Fame.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would have to visit some of the amazing local businesses that Decatur has to offer of course. Dinner at Kimball House. Coffee at Opo. Shopping at Kelly’s Market. Snacks and drinks at the Reading Room. Haircuts at Ramblers. The usual.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I floundered around a bit after high school, wasn’t entire sold on University, did not have a real idea of what I wanted to do with my life. What teenager does? Decided to go to college, work, and partake in the extra curricular activities that college had to offer. The partaking became more important than the studying, which does not work out well. I looked around one day and decided that things had to change. I marched down to the local recruiter and joined the United States Army as a Combat Medic. This was exactly what I needed in my life. Discipline, hard work, perseverance, all of this was not only instilled in me , but reinforced. This was my first exposure to the art and science of medicine, which became my life long vocation. These are lessons I carry within me this day.
