Showbiz Interview: Moses Carroll

Moses Carroll is a gentleman, an entrepreneur, and a delightfully crazy person to spend an evening with. On the afternoon of October 29, I had the opportunity to conduct an in depth discussion with the fellow.

Travis:
You're actively involved with 2 organizations ... MC Healthcare and Pole Dance America ... How did each situation evolve?

Moses Carroll:
MC Healthcare is a non-profit organization that I created in 2005 in an effort to promote healthy and more active lifestyles. When I began working in the fitness industry and saw the happiness that clients received from losing weight, playing sports or lowering their blood pressure I realized I wanted to be that bridge to education and motivation. Pole Dance America is a spin off of MCH. The first of 3 programs we are using to educate people on the benefits of living an active lifestyles.

Travis:
So ... MC Healthcare is intended to be about more than just Pole Dancing?

Moses Carroll:
Yes, MCH's focus is on education and demonstration which leads to motivation and a desire to be successful. Plus it allows us to give a platform for those that want to show and be examples of what happens when you dedicate yourself to reaching a goal.

Travis:
And does all this keep you on the road quite a bit?

Moses Carroll:
Yes, 6 to 8 months per year that I'm on the road.

The PDA Prelims are conducted like a season - just like football This allows us to promote across the country and get people excited about Pole Fitness

Travis:
My wife (and a close friend of ours) have told me that they'd consider you to be a "Nice Catch".

Are you currently available? Or are you spoken for?

Moses Carroll:
I'm single.

The pole competitions have pretty much placed a halt to my dating life. Mainly because of the traveling and being around half naked women. What I've been told is "an issue”

I must admit it is hard cause all of them are nice, beautiful and talented. But I respect the positions we are ALL in and would hate to have a reputation as the dude that's having relations with a contestant... I love PDA & MCH to much to ruin it.

Most of the girls are really great and very sincere but there's always the concern that one might take my kindness for emotional comfort and intimacy.

Travis:
Not asking you to name any names ... But have there been any club girls who have seemed determined to sink their hooks into you?

Moses Carroll:
You know, Ive been lucky not to have been in that situation.

I will say I'm often oblivious when women hit on me cause I'm not sure if they are really serious or testing the waters to see how far I they can take me.

Travis:
Okay ... For all the adoring ladies who aren't in the industry ... And how tall are you?

Moses Carroll:
I'm a nice 6'1 of caramel goodness - LOL

Travis:
(Snickering)
And what qualities would cause you to be attracted to a woman?

Moses Carroll:
That a good question... So many qualities but in life you can only receive a few. So I will ask for - Goal setter and achiever, team player, trustworthy, affectionate and most important versatile.

Travis:
Any habits or attitudes that are serious turn offs?

Moses Carroll:
Well, hmmmmm - sorry for taking so long... I had to think about that cause dealing with women is like playing chess. Cause when you think you making the right moves you might not be.

Attitudes will always be there. So understanding & better communication has to play a major role.

Habits – I take the good with the bad if she is the one I choose to be with. Now I will say I don't like complainers, bad memories, constant gossipers and women that don't know themselves. It takes a strong woman to deal with a man like me cause I'm a handful and you have to have a backbone.

Travis:
You've met a girl that you really want to get to know better and you're trying to treat her to a really neat first date. What kinds of things would you consider?

Moses Carroll:
Hmmmm ... I enjoy cooking, so I would either invite her out to eat somewhere that I can prepare the food or invite her to my loft with the city skyline view.

Do a few things that will cater to her personality and will introduce her to my likes. And I do pay attention to the details of a woman so I will do things to please her – mentally & emotionally.

Travis:
Other than on the lips ... What is your favorite "respectable spot" for kissing a girl? (I love my wife's legs and shoulders).

Moses Carroll:
The entire Back, Legs and Hips

Travis:
Some guys want a girl to have a totally natural look. A few really get into the ones who have obviously had a lot of cosmetic surgery or who really go intense on the make up or hair dye or tattoos. What's your take on this?

Moses Carroll:
Natural beauty -- to me -- is wonderful. Tattoos, breast and glut implants are fine; if they are used to enhance. But if it takes over the original art of the human body - then its not the real person's natural beauty. It doesn't change the person - but it hides what I would like to be as my soul mate. But don't get me wrong – I will still love the woman.. Every way possible...

Travis:
Where are you originally from?

Moses Carroll:
Born in Memphis, TN. Atlanta has been my home for 14 years.

Travis:
How did you wind up in Atlanta?

Moses Carroll:
Was ready for a change, woke up on morning and said - I'm moving. Packed my bags and relocated,

Travis:
I was raised in something fairly close to the Traditional Southern Christian Family. And even though I'm involved in several forms of "Adult Entertainment" ... I still have certain standards that I hold to and that I expect to see from people that I think of as friends.

How did your upbringing affect your adult life?

Moses Carroll:
Ohhhh boy... I'm very outspoken. I don't like people that play both side of the fence.

Travis:
Well ... I try not to give attitude. But I'll do something like bow my head and pray before a meal (while in a restaurant) ... And certain people will act like "But I saw you in an adult club last night".

And I will simply tell them that I believe in God and I try to live a good and respectful life but I'm not a Prude.

Moses Carroll:
Thats great... cause I do the same... its the "Over The Top People" that get under my skin. We are all here to enjoy life but they condemn people for doing in public what they do in private. That's ridicules.

I know my mistakes and errors but I'm not going to bring others down to make myself seem perfect. Live and let live..

You and I think somewhat alike - if they don't like it or understand.. that's not our fault...

Travis:
