“The approval of this BREYANZI offers another highly effective CAR-T option for patients with relapsed/ refractory large B cell lymphoma,” says Dr. Scott Solomon, medical director of Northside’s Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Matched Unrelated Donor Program and Stem Cell Processing Laboratory. “A major difference between BREYANZI and other

BuckHaven Lifestyle | June 2021

OF THE FAMOUS ATHLETES WHO HAVE LIVED IN ATLANTA, ONE STANDS APART FOR HIS MASTERY OF GOLF. Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones, born in 1902, was drawn to golf from a young age. After his family moved to East Lake, he won his first Georgia State Amateur Championship in 1916 at age 14. Despite this early success, Jones did not win a major tournament for several years. CONTINUED >

CityLifestyle.com/BuckHaven

ATLANTA’S GOLFING LEGEND (CONTINUED)

In 1923, Bobby Jones won the U.S. Open, breaking seven years of unsuccessful attempts and starting him on a path towards a record never seen before or since. Jones experienced massive success in the 1920s, setting golfing records, publishing an autobiography, and attending law school at Emory University. He capped it off in 1930 with an unparalleled accomplishment: winning the British Amateur, British Open, U.S. Open, and U.S. Amateur. Though he retired from golf not long after, Jones’s legacy as a skilled athlete and respected competitor remains influential and respected.

PHIL JACOBS You are entering what can be one of the most exciting and rewarding times of your life. The attitudes and habits that you develop over the next few years will set the framework for your future. My best advice to you now is to think about finding balance in what you do. You will have many priorities that vie for your attention and energy. Take some time to think about how you want to manage those priorities and demands, which fall into four categories: family and friends, career, personal, and community. It’s often difficult to find the time to invest in all four areas, but making a conscious commitment to each area now will help remind you not to neglect any as you move forward. Community and helping others is perhaps the easiest of the four areas to ignore. As we each find success in our lives, we have an obligation to support those around us in some way. It’s important to find causes you are passionate about and to engage in those passions. There will come a time when you look back over your life and realize that some of your greatest accomplishments have come from unselfishly helping others.

WESLEY WOODS’ HEROES, SAINTS AND LEGENDS SHARE THEIR NUGGETS OF WISDOM

Fa m i ly, Generosity a n d Pat i e n c e Make the Man

BISHOP WOODIE WHITE Everyone has a Philosophy of Life, even if they have not thought it through or written it down. Those who know me are not surprised that my Philosophy of Life is grounded deeply in my religious beliefs. Some basic principles that are important to my Philosophy of Life are not exclusively religious. They are known as the fruits of the spirit and are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22). I try every day, in all my dealings and relationships with others, to reflect these principles. I believe one important principle every person should develop is the principle of generosity. Often it begins small and then grows as one’s resources grow. However, it first comes from a sense of generosity. Society has been blessed in many ways by the sharing of the wealth of others. My observation is that such sharing is nearly always rooted in a generous spirit, and you can be generous with whatever you have – wealth, knowledge, wisdom or time. I hope one day, you will become as “rich” as you desire, but for now, be sure to cultivate a generous spirit with all you possess. I promise that life and society will offer you many opportunities to share that spirit of generosity in the measure in which you have been blessed. May your future be a bright one! CONTINUED >

dren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is to be HAPPY. One of the problems is that most Americans believe we are supposed to be given happiness through our Constitution, but the actual wording is “Life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness.” So how do you pursue happiness? I believe the following five goals allow you to achieve happiness in your career, your personal life, and through your philanthropy: + Honest – To be a trusted person, you must be honest in your assessments and communications. Avoid any situation that would cause people to lose their trust in you. + Assertive – There is a difference between being aggressive and being asser-

tive. Aggressive is trying to always have your own way. Assertiveness is when you push for what you know is right. + Positive – Always look for innovative ways to accomplish goals instead of being negative and making excuses if you don’t achieve the objective. + Persistent – Make the effort that is necessary to achieve success. + Yourself -- It is ok to learn from observing other successful people, but your success will be determined by the person you become in this life. Being HAPPY is something to work at every day and can’t be given to you by someone else. You have to

Colin started doing mastering on a professional level, “That’s when it really hit me, that this was my thing.” Today things are quite different. Colin Leonard’s process is quite simple, “at this point I just listen to it and I have a picture of what I want it to sound like in my head. You keep adjusting and adjusting until it hits a certain point where you can feel it and your head starts bobbing a little bit. It is really about how the song makes you feel more than anything else,” says Leonard. “I try to apply that to every song in a master.” His process is tried and true and delivers the best-sounding music anywhere. “I am constantly listening to things I’ve recently worked on,” said Leonard, “always comparing how things sound on multiple playback and streaming services. I like to make sure that it sounds good in the car and when you play it on a cheap Bluetooth speaker or on your phone.” “I think that music is a great escape for people, including myself. It can take you somewhere else and make you feel all kinds of different ways,” says Leonard. SingMastering.com

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THE PRO GOLFER’S FITNESS JOURNEY

SCOTT

STALLINGS’

WORKOUT ARTICLE CITY LIFESTYLE

SCOTT STALLINGS DISCOVERED HIS INTEREST IN GOLF AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 3. But it was the “aha moment” for his love of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors. Little did he know at the time, however, not just how successful he would become, but also how an unforeseen health compromise would also rock his world, and his cross training, for the better. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer. Flash forward to the year 2016: It became a life-changing year he never would have anticipated; one filled with strife as he learned he had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and acute adrenal fatigue. It was a result of some unhealthy nutritional habits, both of which affected his ability to continue effectively as a professional athlete. With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night. Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed. Luckily for Scott, he didn’t have an overwhelming, crazy life overhaul. Instead, he was able to find one small thing, delivering simple systematic changes in his workout that led to his improvement in fitness and quality of life. “You only get one body,” he says. “Golf is a grind, but don’t let physicality get in the way of your game,” Scott says.
