MES has provided health and wellness services to the underserved community of Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York for over three (3) years with our MES Seminoles Agility and Conditioning Workout Session Program (MESSAC). The MESSAC has produced positive results of increased physical healthier youth within the community.
MESSAC primary objective is to render direct education an implementation of the MESSAC to all youth, from ages 5 to 18, to meet set/flexible athletic/health expectations while simultaneously having fun. MES will provide explicit guidance, support, and actional feedback to Participants, Participant Parents, and/or Entity/School Administrators stemmed from Participant’s interaction and progression. MES will conduct assessments with timely feedback either orally or in writing. The MESAC has successfully operated within Uncommon Excellence Boys since 2021. In which, MESSAC has led to the Uncommon Excellence Varsity Football Team winning the 2023 Uncommon School League Championship and the Junior Varsity Team making the 2023 League Playoffs. All accomplished with scholars who were either on High Honor Roll or Honor Roll Academic Status, energy and focus they built through MESSAC participation. Additionally, two of those 2023 Scholars earned full scholarships to high-quality secondary academic institutions in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
Overall, this matters to us because we/I want to see a stronger and smarter generation drive into greatness as a society.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
As the CEO of Murphy Enterprise Solutions, which is a multifaceted Business Management and Consulting entity, formed in 2016, geared towards organizational implementation, it brings me tremendous pleasure to lead a company designed to deliver multiple professional services and products across various sectors which will ultimately enhance society’s comfortably.
In most recent years, while employed as an Administrator at NYC Health and Hospitals / Elmhurst, a Level I Trauma Facility within New York City, the daily objective, especially before, during, and after the global 2020 pandemic, was to effectively oversee the Patient Transportation Department. Simultaneously, I conducted CWA 1180 Labor Union business as a Certified Shop Steward. Presently, I directly monitor the section of MES that provides youth athletes, from Elementary to Secondary Schools, the unique opportunities to excel in training and marketing themselves in the sports world, particularly football. My oversight led to the Uncommon Excellence Boys Varsity Football Team winning the 2023 and the Junior Varsity Team making the 2023 League Playoffs. All accomplished with High Honor Roll or Honor Roll Academic Status Scholars, in which one of those 2023 Scholars (my son) earned a full scholarship to a high-quality Private Prep. High School in Pennsylvania. Additionally, as a Nationally Certified Interscholastic Coach for Grades 7 – 12, and with great honor to elaborate, no player under my direct supervision has ever been hurt or injured to the point the scholar-athlete missed a practice or game.
I am a Published Author whose literary piece entitled, Big City Nights: The Biography of the Legendary Cisero Murphy has reached international acceptance. Moreover, the research conducted into formulating this book resulted in the adaption of a 239-page screenplay, by which it was edited into a 27x Honor/Award-winning 129-page Screenplay named, Big City Nights: Cisero Murphy Saga. These accolades span from North America to Asia. There are a few well-known Film and Music Industry Talent eager to participant in the production of this project regarding civilization’s only Black Professional Billiards World Title Winner and BCA Hall of Fame Inductee.
I have earned a Master Degree in Public Administration, with a focus in Organizational Operations & Policy Implementation, and a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Arts, conducive to the area of Social Sciences and Criminal Justice.
Moreover, I have led a variety of multifaceted teams within the Education, Healthcare, Retail, Social Services, and Department of Corrections industries, to name a few, tasked with implementing modern trends towards entity innovation within various operational settings. Becoming one of modern eras prominent Entrepreneurs is the fixed goal.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
Most often then not, the key to elevating is one’s ability to adapt to the circumstances at hand. In 2021, after two failed attempted at a promotion within the Healthcare field, I decided to focus my talents, pivot, into my own entity. There’s nothing more misfortunate then wasted time, but it is even more disheartening when a person has wasted time, talent, and clearly underappreciated or devalued are all combined.
Once it was clear that this was the case with that health industry job, my energy shifted to MES full-time. Upon making that decision and using the refocused energy, MES and I excelled beyond basic expectations. The business and business relationships garnered was unfathomable. One of the key highlights is the ongoing partnership with Uncommon Excellence. MES deliverance of MESSAC has led to kids not only getting healthier, but allows them the opportunity to enroll in a high-quality elementary school that has been nationally featured on top tier entertainment programs such as Good Morning America and Kelly Clarkson Show.
This pivot has led to MES and I directly responsible to new business growth throughout the United States with giving new and existing business guidance on organizational development and/or enhancement, making MES a trusted name and business especially within New York.
Can you talk to us about how you funded your business?
To be a business owner you have to do everything and know of everything that requires the successful operating of a business of your choosing. Generally, most people do not have have the finances to start a business so your creative side needs to expand.
In 2016, MES initial capital came from my employment as a Healthcare Administrator and pro bono work. My versatile career expertise was key to providing the services that MES so greatly offers society currently. For instances, I would work extended administrative hours to cover the costs of MES’s governmental fees to establish MES or to advertise MES. On numerous occasions, I have rendered hundreds to thousands of dollars of service pro bono or in a form of bartering to further showcase MES professional capabilities. I have directly helped from college students draft budget plans for project presentations to U.S. businesses increase their quarterly or annual profits by 10% or more, in which they would provide customer satisfaction stories.
Upon successful client endorsements, MES eventually developed a name and brokered strong community and business ties throughout the U.S, within a variety of industries that services people and organizations.
