So let's get started.

Tanya Flanagan 0:42
You Good morning Las Vegas. Good morning Nevada. I just realized, as I was preparing to welcome you to the show. This is the final Sunday in the month of August. Thank you for waking up one more time and joining me. We are almost ready to usher out summer, but not quite so it's going to be 110 or five or six for a little bit longer, but mostly, thank you. Always excited to have a good time here in the studios at 91.5 jazz and more. I think today is going to be a phenomenal experience, if I hope so for you. But if not for you, definitely for me. Why you say because I have two exceptional, funny, entertaining, smart guests in the studio. They're over here right now, acting up, acting up, folks, but thank you for tuning in. I'd like to welcome back to the show, really, I think a couple people who've been here before, but it's been a while. So I have my good friend mashawn D Montgomery, yes, I use the entire name, hey and Kendra Scott, hello. So we're gonna bounce back over to Michelle. Who are you? Oh, man, because I'm not. I am not. When I said, Who do you want to be, and she gave me, like, five titles, hey, so who do you want to be today?

Mishon Montgomery 2:00
I Am. I Am. Michelle Montgomery, first off, thank you so much friend for having me back on your amazing show. Excited to be here with both of you today. Michelle Montgomery, hey, listen, I am the, I'll say head of employee experience for a government contract. I have a business where I work with companies all over the world to create cultures of belonging. And I'm a wife, I'm a mom, I'm a dog, mom, and just all around. Think women call it today a transformer. That's what I am. I'm everywhere, doing everything, just having a good time, living life and enjoying it to the fullest.

Tanya Flanagan 2:29
I have a favorite character in Transformers. What's the one Bumblebee? Now, I do love Bumblebee. Man, I do. But the one the truck, the red and blue. Oh, man, I'm having a moment, trying No, the leader,

Mishon Montgomery 2:44
yeah, oh yeah. Well, this is going to be embarrassing. We should know Megatron, Megatron, Megatron.

Tanya Flanagan 2:51
That sounds legit. I think that's I do love Bumblebee, though bumblebees got the personality. But I really love other like military scenes. Come on in the movie at the Hoover Dam, that's what I love.

Mishon Montgomery 3:01
I'm a Veteran. I'm a retired United States Air Force veteran too. That's what I am. So folks,

Tanya Flanagan 3:05
as you can see, this conversation is going to be somewhat serious, but not really. Kendra today, but we have you laugh, and I don't know, just enjoy life, because that is kind of a little bit of the running theme today. These are two folks who are super committed to making sure people see positivity in everything, or at least find a way to overcome challenges, and part of how we do that in life, and ooh, in the state of where we are these days, a little bit of laughter, some uplifting of one another. On the way in, Michelle Montgomery told me she wanted to host a jazz show. So I said, oh my goodness, Kendra, who are you? So

Kendra Scott 3:43
first of all, thank you for having me today. I'm super excited to be here. So I am many things, but a few of them is, I'm the president of codilocks, which is a nonprofit that teaches black and brown kids primarily how to code apps, mobile apps, websites, things of that nature, video games. I'm also the CEO of flame topics, which is a conversation card company that is sold on Tiktok shop, Instagram, online things of that nature. I am also the CO facilitator of the Black LGBTQ group at the local gay and lesbian center. And I'm a senior business sisters analyst in my day job.

Tanya Flanagan 4:18
Well, I'm tired already just

Tanya Flanagan 4:25
back up. Flame topics, yes, because I honestly folks, when I invite people on, of course, I know most of what they do. That's why I've invited them on, because you may not know, and I want to introduce you to the dynamite, dynamic person that is before me that I have gotten the pleasure of getting to know but flame topics, I didn't even know that was flying out of your mouth. What

Kendra Scott 4:48
so flame topics is a conversation card that's a conversation card company that's inclusive for everyone. So traditionally, when you have conversation cards and you know, we love I love conversation cards, I think they're great. Great topic starters, right? You just don't know what you're going to get, but a lot of times you know people different communities or ethnicities, they feel left out with the conversations, just the vocabulary and things of that nature. And so we decided to take something that we love, but make it for everybody, make it inclusive, so we have different varieties of card decks, and yeah, we're selling them. So

Tanya Flanagan 5:25
I can tell you right now, we have 30 minutes in this show today. Come on, because we have 30 minutes all the time. Yeah, I am going to be mad when the last second ticks out. Oh yeah. We're gonna have ourselves a good time. I'm like, I want to talk to you for a while. Yeah, people are gonna want to know more about you when it comes to and then. So two more seconds on this flame top. Okay, so any variety of subject matter is listed on a card. I can buy this on Amazon or somewhere like that.

Kendra Scott 5:53
You could buy it on tick tock shop. You could buy it online in Flame topics.com, tick

Tanya Flanagan 5:57
tock. Oh, I

Mishon Montgomery 6:00
love it. I'm really savvy with I love Tiktok shop, go for conquer.

Kendra Scott 6:05
Each card deck has the same categories, which are love and loyalty, deep thought, anything goes and in between the sheets, which, oh, come on, that's that

Tanya Flanagan 6:17
y'all can't see. Let me be careful, because I was about to ask, Is that about sleeping better? Is that like sleep and again? Maybe that's loaded. Like, is that like, here's a good pillow. You never mind. Don't answer

Kendra Scott 6:32
my question.

Kendra Scott 6:35
Any categories clever

Tanya Flanagan 6:37
than you might realize, and I have to remind myself to behave, okay?

Kendra Scott 6:42
But yeah, no, any, any category is,

Tanya Flanagan 6:45
yes, I play with words, right? She said, between sleep tips, okay,

Mishon Montgomery 6:50
those are good. We were just talking about, we don't know. You could go there, though, that'd be an interesting thing. So

Tanya Flanagan 6:56
back to this. So it the subject matters on the card. So there's categories. So

Kendra Scott 7:01
there's categories in any category is made to just provide a deep, thought provoking conversation. Is meant to spark really deep

Mishon Montgomery 7:08
thought. Let's do it. You know, I'm what's a talk? What's on the card? Give me a card.

Kendra Scott 7:12
Okay, you know, so funny is I had, I had him in my car. Okay, so let's go. One other questions could be okay. I'm trying to, I gotta keep it as nice as possible. But, but in the fire, yeah. But so, for example, one of the questions is, do you believe that once a cheater, always

Mishon Montgomery 7:35
a cheater? Oh, come on.

Tanya Flanagan 7:38
I don't believe that. I don't, I don't, honestly, I don't believe that, but I believe there's always the opportunity for a person to be tempted cheat. So cheating is, cheating is is controlled by your moral barometer, right? And it's controlled by the moral barometer of others, okay? So say you're a married man or woman, and you have the opportunity the person who knows you're married, you're as you are, as responsible to be loyal as is the person that you're trying to approach is to help you maintain your loyalty, right? Because if they know you're in a relationship, but they don't make you deal with are you going to be in it? Are you going to be divorced, single, committed, not committed, right? So there's both parties have a responsibility in the moral barometer and whether or not you're a cheater. I'm

Mishon Montgomery 8:26
gonna dive in there. I think that also it said once a cheater, always a cheater. I don't think so. I mean, I think that ultimately you may have cheated in one relationship, but then you get with someone else, and you're completely loyal. And I think that speaks to relationships. And person says he's a dog? Well, he might have been a dog with you, but with me, he's this or that, or she's a she's a dog, or she's a cheater. No, with you, she was a cheater, but with me, she's not. So I don't I think those

Tanya Flanagan 8:50
characters might be with and who you might be trying to cheat on, which goes back to, maybe you should send me in that relationship. Yeah, that's true about the other but it's never that black and white, right? Why is it not that black and white? Maybe you've been in that relationship and you're married and you have, like, I don't know, three kids, two kids. Maybe you have a lot of stuff. Maybe you don't want to divide your stuff. But

Mishon Montgomery 9:11
down the rabbit hole we go, Well, that's what flame topics is about. I'm

Tanya Flanagan 9:15
gonna dig my way back out. But the same it's dark, for

Kendra Scott 9:20
example, you know. But the thing is, is that, yes, no, what you're saying, which, you know, this little person could be a cheating this relationship would be loyal on this one. What if you're like, the eighth baby mama? Like, when do you I saw this article, and this guy had, he had eight baby mom. It was like, in New York, he had like eight baby moms, and he had 11 kids, you know, and it's like, doesn't he have like, 100 children? No, no. Uh. Elon Musk,

Tanya Flanagan 9:46
okay, somebody, I knew some I'm not a celebrity gossip follower. So wrongfully accused, shout out to people of bad behavior. I just knew that somebody famous. Miss, had a lot of children, right? Um,

Mishon Montgomery 10:03
well, yeah, I mean, but what you're saying, right? Like, they got eight baby. I mean, that still doesn't mean that at some point there's someone out there, just

Tanya Flanagan 10:10
uncommitted that part, and you didn't do your due diligence before you decided what they were amazing you were going to be little. Wayne, have a lot of kids, or something,

Mishon Montgomery 10:20
I don't know. You know, Nick Cannon. Cannon has a lot of kids. I don't know who got,

Tanya Flanagan 10:25
well, this Nick Cannon misconduct.

Tanya Flanagan 10:27
I got three. You

Tanya Flanagan 10:31
should have another one. But So basically, what we're learning flame topics is fun and it's thought provoking. Yeah, it's fun. It's thought

Mishon Montgomery 10:43
provoking. And it sounds like, right? We can definitely think about that type of stuff just in general, right? We're out. We're having and, you know, because it made me think about something when you called me and said, Hey, let's do this. And I was like, man, what could we talk about? What do we want to talk about? Because we're always into these other serious topics. And I thought, What about how do, at this age, how do we get friends? Like, I mean, like, you know, like, our friendship created no new saying. I was thinking that you remember, because I sent Kendra and some other people a message a couple weeks ago, and I'm like, I'm sitting here, and I'm, I'm wanting to go do something, right? And then, like, Tonya, I think you were out of town and so see and but how do you get new friends at the age of I'm gonna insert 40 plus,

Tanya Flanagan 11:30
and genuinely, I can appreciate that. You know why? Because that's real. To not be playful, but to play this morning, but to not be playful all morning. There are a lot of people in this world who are lonely, yeah, and there are times when I've even been in, you know, faith based in church and faith based services, and you'll be in the service. Black churches are notorious for saying, turn to the person next to you and say x, y, z. But one of the things that was said to me on a Sunday morning in service, and it stayed with me forever, is that hug someone, say a kind word, yeah, give them something before they go, because you never know, yeah, this may be the only human interaction someone has for the entire week. And I can't tell you how that really resonated with me, because I moved here kind of by myself, many, many years ago, 30 at this point, and I live alone. Yes, I have a dog, a big dog for those I do now, but it wasn't where. Nico is famous, my Facebook, tiny Flanagan Nico's famous, but beautiful black dog. Laugh. Who else does? Who doesn't love the English lab? But to not digress seriously, it's about the fact that if you're not married, right, or you don't have children, or maybe you've lived long enough in life that you have your spouse has passed away, or your significant other is gone, or your children, or whomever your parents, right? You may be alone, or you just moved to the city and you don't have a network yet, yeah, and you need to meet some people, and you want to meet quality people, right? And Vegas is a place of reinvention. So as much as we implode a hotel and build something else in that space, people come here and reinvent themselves. Let's talk about it. It's the truth, right? Sure, and it's a city where almost anyone can make it. If you are creative enough and innovative enough, and you have the drive and the determination absolutely you can do some things, right? But Are you lonely? Do you have a connection? Not everyone has a person that they can turn to. I used to just drop by my uncle's house, and if I genuinely wanted a real hug, I just went by my uncle's house and I hugged my uncle because he's my uncle and my godfather, and that's a genuine family member who's like, hey, half a pint. Yeah, Hey uncle. And he'd be like, get off me. But layer that, like, lay minutes. But it's the truth. Layer that interaction.

Mishon Montgomery 14:01
Layer that with being from a historically marginalized group or from a marginalized group. So I come here and now I am new to the city. I'm a black, lesbian, female, female, right? I'm a veteran, and all these characteristics about me, and I'm looking for connection, right? And that's why you said, right? You're the president of the Black, LGBTQ or lesbian group at the center, right? Because that's why we create some of these groups and things like that, so that we can find that connection. But ultimately, at the end of the day, I like the word that you threw in, which is what I was thinking like quality, right? I'm looking for people that I could sit down and have these conversations

Tanya Flanagan 14:37
volunteering, and you're looking for a place to give back to the community, because I started the Las Vegas Urban League young professionals group years ago in 2006 which is a branch of the National Urban League young professionals, which numbers 15 to 20,000 young people between the ages of 21 and 40 nationwide, associated with each Urban League affiliate in. Respective cities. And one of the things I would tell people when they came to seek out the group. There are a lot of nonprofits where you can volunteer, Big Brother, Big Sister, boys and girls. Clubs, March dimes, make a wish. There are so opportunity villages. There's so many spaces American Cancer Society, CIS there are so many spaces where you can, gentlemen, by choice, I don't care where you are. In various communities, there are a lot of spaces where you can volunteer your time. Yeah, totally. Make sure Cody locks it there. What it's make sure you're doing something that you're passionate about that part, and when you're doing work that you love, and stop and ask yourself, why do I do

Mishon Montgomery 15:45
this? But hey, let me, let me dig in there, right? Because, okay, so, so, so that's on one aspect. Yes, I could go and get into those corners and areas and find people I'm gonna meet friends. But listen, let's talk about it from this perspective. That's me giving, right? I'm talking about being poured into, right? And so I'm often giving of myself to

Tanya Flanagan 16:06
receive, but if you give, yeah, you will receive, right, true and love the dynamic of the universe.

Mishon Montgomery 16:12
I've been able to meet people but, but I'm telling you, Tony, like we've had this conversation about being like drained because you're giving. Do

Tanya Flanagan 16:20
I really like the people

Mishon Montgomery 16:27
playing spades today? Not like, but more so like, is it giving back to to me, to me, right? My cup is giving, right? But is it pouring back in? And I think a lot of us are at a place right now in the world where we're looking to be poured into and not just give out, right? Yeah, do you know

Kendra Scott 16:47
I understand? I mean, I've definitely like, for example, this weekend, I just, I said, I'm so appreciative, because I don't have much to do this weekend. You know, on any given weekend, my my spouse and I, we do more things in one weekend than most people do in a month. Right,

Tanya Flanagan 17:05
Sunday morning, and you got to chill on this Friday and Saturday.

Kendra Scott 17:09
Right, right, right? Exactly. I got the chill just being very happy, you know. So I didn't have much to do this weekend. But, you know, any other time I'm teaching a class, I'm teaching a, you know, a class for kids, for Cody locks, or I'm doing an event at the Center for LGBTQ people, or I'm doing this, I'm doing that, and I'm giving back to the community. And yes, innately, it is feeling me, because I am trying to make the world a better place, and I'm walking in my purpose. But also, how often is someone stopping giving me a call. Hey, how you doing? How you feeling? A strong friend. I was just thinking about you. You know, how often does someone shoot you a text and say, you know, and like and and kind of like what you're saying? I find my happiness and my joy in the fact that I am giving and I am being a productive member of society. However, saying like me. Shawn is saying, How do I mean, how do you meet friends? Yeah, how do you meet friends or people? And it's, and it's weird, because I always feel like, and I have a, I have a strange relationship when it comes to Vegas, right? I am originally from California. I did go to high school here in Vegas, but as soon as I turned before I turned 18, I left after I graduated high school and

Tanya Flanagan 18:23
high school, shout out.

Kendra Scott 18:25
So Bonanza High School got to Bonanza, and so I graduated when I was 17, which means that the entire summer my friends were able to wild out and be adults, and I was still 17 until a week before college. So I leave, I

Tanya Flanagan 18:39
go, hold on pause. Let me stick a pin in while out and be an adult at 17. What can you do? Because I graduated at 17.

Mishon Montgomery 18:47
They turned 18, right, yeah, so my friends were 18, so my plate, my friend,

Tanya Flanagan 18:52
didn't do any I thought, I thought the passage way started. It was I just that shelter, because I thought it started at 21

Kendra Scott 19:00
where are you from? Where are you from? Why you gotta go there? Okay, I am from Arizona. Okay, so, and that's where I went when I when I graduated, when I graduated, but let me tell you, Okay, so when you're in, when you grow up in Vegas, the unique experience is that everything you want to do is inside of a casino. So you want to go bowling casino, you want to go to the movies Casino. If you want to go ice skating or rollerblading, usually a casino, except for Crystal Palace, right? Okay, so those casinos, they have curfew times, so if you're under a certain age, you have to leave the casino, right? 10pm some movies. The good movies. You know, you're in your senior high school, you just graduated. You want to watch a movie at 10:30pm but you're under 18, you can't even be in the casino. So that's a unique experience in growing up in Vegas, right? So the entire summer, my friends were all 18 or 19. I am. Does it sound like it?

Mishon Montgomery 19:56
Wait, what did you hear? You heard something? Man, that came a day. So. Read something

Tanya Flanagan 20:01
quick, because I'm like, obviously you had not crafted the plan for breaking rules.

Kendra Scott 20:11
Didn't help

Kendra Scott 20:13
that I

Tanya Flanagan 20:15
was a goody two, yeah, and so, yes, I did, because I had, you know, my partners in crime. Okay, so and so, yeah, my parents buy my ticket. Nobody's gonna ask at 17, you don't not look 18. Who's asking?

Mishon Montgomery 20:31
Fun. Fact, you can join military at 17 and show about overseas.

Kendra Scott 20:34
Okay, well, okay, so there are certain things that are your right of passage in Vegas that I can't mention when you turn 18, right? And so my friends used to,

Kendra Scott 20:43
my friends family show

Kendra Scott 20:46
my friends, they used to get me in like they would make like they worked at, like, pizza places, and they would take pizza to different venues and have me carry in a pizza so that they they wouldn't card me, you know, stuff like that

Mishon Montgomery 20:57
unique experience. It's a lot of unpacking right now. Feel like we're, you know, needed to talk about a lot of topics today.

Tanya Flanagan 21:06
That's a lot for manipulation of opportunity. Yeah. I mean, that was well thought out though. I mean, this is how far I gave a thought. I am the youngest of three children, so I have brothers. Where are you? Where'd they go? I went, Okay, so yeah, I didn't even have a curfew. My

Kendra Scott 21:25
No, my parents had me at age of 40. They had already raised a child my aunt and yeah, now they were no, I was in the house, and they knew exactly where I was at

Tanya Flanagan 21:38
it. Also, I grew up in in the South. I was grew up in Pensacola, Florida, so I definitely had to not get into I got it. Listen, it's real different in the South. Oh, come on. Now. You were really in wood south. You were in city south. No, no, no,

Mishon Montgomery 21:56
yeah, Pensacola, panhandle. It's not Pensacola. I mean, I guess maybe a little more than some of the surrounding areas, red dirt and trees. It's not we are, you know, about 30 minutes from, you know, Alabama, so la lower Alabama, you know. And I think we had a unique experience in that we were able to, what I could say I liked about Pensacola was that everybody went to the place the same places. So it didn't really matter who you were or, you know, the color, none of those things your your sexual orientation, none of that mattered. We all went to, you know, this one place called Seville quarter. And Seville had like seven rooms in it. So you could be in the country room, the R and B room, you could be in this room, that room. It didn't make a difference. We were all there. And then we had, like, nights. So Wednesday night was Seville night. Thursday night was, you know, this other place where you could pay $11 and have a

Tanya Flanagan 22:45
lot of here's what my takeaway, and that is, as we live in this time, where we are, and honestly, pausing, because we had a shooting the earlier this week at the school, the Catholic school, when the two children were killed and, like, 18 to 20 people were injured. And we're still trying to we're grappling in this country with gun safety. We're grappling in this country at times, with what is important. And although this morning, we are having a light hearted conversation, but it's really centered around love. It's centered around inclusion, yes, centered around finding even your person, if your person is one person that creates a friendship, that gives you a space where you feel safe, yeah? And when you were talking about this spot that people went to, and there were seven rooms, and everybody went in the different room, different music, and had a good time, yeah, it was a time when you came together with little to no concern that anything negative, yeah, would happen to you, yeah. And now we've evolved to this society where, before you walk out the door, because my father is 86 and I often talk about him, but daddy, Flanagan, who friends and community affectionately call him, always said, says to me, baby, be safe. Yeah, anything can happen to you. Things are happening all around us now, yeah, and to have lived through a time when I remember when we didn't lock doors, yeah, yeah, you just went, came and went in the house. You went down the street, around the corner, and just walked into someone's home and announced that you are you have arrived, and sat down and sat down and had a conversation and announced that you had arrived. You know, I like to make sure people can contact people, and I know we've had a light hearted conversation, but both of you do really significant trainings, teachings, and you give time in this community to nonprofits, to organizations that I want to make sure people can tap into your world and access it if they want to. So let's do the social media round. I'm even going to do mine today, because I don't always tell people how they can find me or learn more about me. And I invite you to do that if you want to get to know Tonya Flanagan, the scoop, the host of the scoop here on 91.5 a little bit more after the show is done. But Kendra Scott, where can we find. Into your 25,000 hats.

Kendra Scott 25:01
Come on, run them. So primarily on Instagram, you can follow Cody locks at code E and then locks like hair, l, O, C, S, so Cody locks with flame topics, Instagram and tick tock at flame topics, underscore and my Yeah, that's good.

Mishon Montgomery 25:24
That's good, yeah, listen, I'm always you can find me on on this. Me, Sean, you can find me on Facebook. Me, Sean Montgomery is just, I think I'm the only one. And then, me, Sean, M, I, S, H, O, N, that's Michael, India, Sierra hotel, Oscar, November and and and then I always take, you know, sean.montgomery@gmail.com or my website. Me, Sean montgomery.com and that's where I'm at. I

Tanya Flanagan 25:50

I don't think I can give my website, because it's like something like vote Tanya, but I'm on social media everywhere, so it's my name, except Instagram, Tanya underscore Flanagan, N, V, A, d7, type of thing, but mostly my name will find some variation of me, whether it's Twitter, Instagram, I'm sorry. X, Instagram, Facebook. Now have that one, anything So Tanya Flanagan will allow you to find me. Yeah, feel free to Google. I welcome you to stay engaged again. We're not done yet. Okay, yeah, that's a good one.

Mishon Montgomery 26:28
LinkedIn. I definitely post a lot on LinkedIn. It's very

Kendra Scott 26:32
hard to find me, though, because my name is Kendra Scott. Like the jewelry, so it's hard.

Mishon Montgomery 26:36
Oh, wow, yeah,

Tanya Flanagan 26:39
be doing a free ad. It's cute. Yeah, we're not totally done. We have a couple more minutes. Oh, well, let's pack it in. We started off this conversation about how you find Michonne. You raised the question, how do people meet? And I think that if you get anything from this today, I would say, expose yourself to different experiences for sure, and identify what you like to do, and if you don't know what that is, take the time to tune into yourself, yeah, and observe the different emotions that you have when you're in different settings, yeah. And if something seems to put a smile on your face, it brings you joy, then begin to immerse yourself in those things. It can be the time you spend outdoors, yeah? And then, well, what does that mean? There are communities of people who walk, communities of people, absolutely so people who bike. What is it that you like to do outdoors? Right? Yeah,

Mishon Montgomery 27:30
you gotta do. You gotta, you gotta. You said some words. And I teach this in a class, right? I say, you know, experience and exposure, those are two things to me that are going to heal us. Start saying yes to the things that maybe you've never said yes to before, right? And that is the thing to me, like, when I ended up Dragon Boat Racing, how I'm out at Lake Las Vegas, I see these people Dragon Boat Racing, and I'm like, That looks fun. I said, are you all a team? They said, Yes. I said, Can I join? They said yes. And I said, Okay. Next thing you know, on Saturdays, I'm out at Lake Las Vegas, Dragon Boat Racing. Had a blast. When was this? Oh, man, like this. You know,

Kendra Scott 28:03
are we supposed to be your friend?

How do you meet people? And you know, folks, I actually met Sean two years oh my gosh, two years ago. Yeah, literally, shout out to my wife, who was like, You're gonna love Tanya Flynn. And she was like, I don't know if I'm gonna like her. She seems to mean. And I get the mean label because I do, I have resting blank face, right? And because I'm really not one of the nicest, kindest, most giving, will answer any question, go the extra mile, solve your problem, connect you to everything, whatever resource I can find that will help you, because I know someone somewhere, or I know someone who knows someone, I truly believe with two degrees of separation, right? Absolutely. But she didn't think she would like me. Not only does she we are birthday twins. Y'all have the same birthday. My birthday is just killing me, and when we get through talking, we are going to go break bread. Break bread. Break because we have not celebrated. We did. The birthday is July 20. We're at the end of August 31 that's how big folks,
