    Michelle Joy Nixon (MJ to her friends) is the first Season 2 competitor to make it into the recording booth.  We discuss MJ's remarkable life (which includes growing up as a tomboy, being the first in her family to graduate from college--Magna cum Laude from the University of Florida, realizing her childhood dream by working as a reporter for ESPN, switching to teaching special needs kids, and getting involved with multiple televised competitions) and dive into the details of how Mental Samurai Season 2 came together (first MJ was going to shoot in Spain, then finally in Portugal, which involved flying from Jacksonville to LA to New York to Lisbon).
