What's up, players! Y'all, buckle up, because this week Rachel sits down with Yvette Hollingsworth.

Yvette is an Emmy Award-winning producer (she'll downplay it, so Rach won't let her) with CBS Sports, HBO, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros on her résumé. Now she's running the show as Director of Content Production at New York Road Runners, just in time for Marathon weekend. Oh, and she founded Mother's Ball. Grab the tissues, y'all. We warned you.

They get into how Yvette hustled a job at the YMCA at 14 (allegedly not legal, we love her for it) to buy her own sneakers, tried to walk on at UNC Charlotte and got handed a manager clipboard instead, then came to New York to act and got scammed.

Scammers, Rach has a message for you, and it's not cute. Yvette takes them behind the scenes of the Super Bowl LV spots "Stand By Me" and "Before Jackie" with Viola Davis, and explains why she walked away from a big check to learn scripted TV on the set of Power.

They celebrate how Mother's Ball is getting moms back on the court. You're not just a mom, you're a BALLER

Let's get into it!
