Friday the 13th, Serendipity, and the Healthy Living EXPO: A Deeper Dive into Virginia Beach’s Wellness Weekend

Friday the 13th. For many, it’s a day of superstition and bad luck. For me, it turned out to be quite the opposite—a day that closed a loop on a court date (favorably, I might add) and brought me back to something I’m genuinely excited about: the Healthy Living EXPO coming to Virginia Beach.

In this follow-up post, I’m picking up where I left off. After my initial deep dive into the Healthy Living EXPO website, I’ve now gotten my hands on the official sponsor deck, and I’m taking you behind the curtain to explore what it takes to bring an event like this to life. From the top-tier title sponsor opportunities down to the media exposure packages, there’s a fascinating ecosystem of partnership that makes community wellness events possible. And honestly? It’s teaching me a thing or two about marketing and promotion that I’m eager to share.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this post (and the accompanying podcast episode):

• A complete breakdown of the Healthy Living EXPO sponsorship tiers, from the $10,000 Title Sponsor to the $1,500 Silver Sponsor level
• Media exposure opportunities including exclusive media, TV ad, and radio ad sponsorships
• The confirmed event schedule: Coastal Edge 5K Saturday at 7:30 AM, plus Furry Friends Yoga running both days
• My serendipitous connection to this event through Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii and why alignment matters
• A live experiment using Google Gemini to validate my own 20-year online presence—and what it means for getting the word out

Whether you’re a business owner considering sponsorship, a wellness enthusiast planning to attend, or simply someone who enjoys watching how things come together behind the scenes, this post offers a candid, unscripted look at an emerging community event. And yes—I finally got that “Puppy Yog” typo corrected.

Press play below to hear the full discussion as I walk through the sponsor deck in real-time, share personal reflections on longevity and movement, and explain why this event has me feeling that powerful mix of excitement and anticipation that precedes something meaningful.

Because I saw long ago that There’s an assault on our our health. Whether it’s intentional or not, it’s due to the fact that a lot of people aren’t really as aware as we possibly could be about things that are detrimental to our health.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (05:19)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (13:26)
People are going to be coming up. I also saw a little A little glimpse of that the other day and a funny little story. So the event coordinator Marcello, who I met at B* coffee of Hawaii.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (13:45)
It’s 619. 18th street in Virginia Beach here I Actually, 3 times in a row, I just happened to be there. And I haven’t been going to that often, but I’ve gone 3 times in the last two weeks, and I’ve seen her there every single time.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (14:02)
And it’s funny because I don’t. I don’t know if she goes there every day to work after. She’s doing some other stuff like that.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (14:06)
But it’s just a like I said, it’s a serendipitous thing to learn about this event. And so Went out so, but back to when I’m talking about that particular place. One of the owners Mimi of of b* coffee.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (14:24)
I was one night. I was driving down near the oceanfront, and all of there were all these police cars everywhere, the streets were crowded with people and And I pulled over because I mean, there was the traffic wasn’t really moving anyway, and there were police everywhere, so I walked out there’s a Dairy Queen, right on the corner of 17th street, which it terminates at the ocean front. And if you go west on it, it turns into Virginia Beach boulevard.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (14:55)
And there’s a Dairy Queen right there and there’s some officers standing around and I just went up and asked one of them what’s going on. And he says, oh, you know, different things. Schools out, or you know, the weather so on.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (15:05)
And so forth, he said, this happens every year. Like this, and it’ll happen a couple more times and when I was in b* coffee, one of the days that the event coordinator ran into me again, Marcella Mimi was telling me, she said, hey, you know, I was looking at something on TikTok the other day, and I saw you on a video show what were you doing out there that you know I get around? I’m always driving around doing stuff.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (15:29)
So I’m I’m just not very odd, but the point is in telling that story is one I was out there and I saw people en masse, there were crowds. I mean, to the point where the police were out and force to, you know, keep an eye out, keep everybody safe. And I know, a couple of really good people.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (15:52)
Actually, I’ve only had really excellent experiences with the Virginia Beach police department. And I’ve seen other people who haven’t, but then they were doing stupid stuff, and you know, like I’ve been pulled over a couple times and I’ve been treated with nothing but Courtesy and professionalism and even so I dress in all black, I wear chains and hoodies and I park in isolated places at night. A lot of time like I am right now but I’m not in an isolated place.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (16:25)
I’m in a very well-lit place. I’m actually on 18th street right in between, so there’s a place called Bella Pizza. That’s horizontal from the b** coffee, and I’m kind of in the line, like, if you were to take a horizontal line from b** coffee to the Bella Pizza I’m parked in one of the parking spaces on the side there, because I’m waiting to see if I get any gigs in this area because I just finished doing some and I was at b* coffee earlier.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (16:54)
But as I was saying, and I park in a lot of places that are dark and I’ve had officers come up to my car while I’m parked and shine in their flashlights, because, you know, they’re like, what is this car doing parked here where there’s no other cars behind this. Building, you know, and I would either be podcasting, like I am now or reading a book or something like that. And they were all they would just ask and talk to me, and they’ve always been totally cool.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (17:17)
But then I’d seen people doing some stupid stuff, and you know, how does that saying go play stupid games win stupid prizes, and I’m sure that that’s not always the case. But For me, it’s just been excellent. But those officers out there, I went and asked them what was going on.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (17:36)
And they said, yeah, this is a you know, there’s going to come in waves. The beach is going to pork up like this. So That’s what I witnessed.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (17:47)
So I have a little bit of evidence that that is going to happen, all right, I told you quirkiness and There was gonna be some fun stuff. Coastal edge has an interesting logo I like it, but you know what, that’s wow, I you know? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this logo before.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (18:05)
But. It actually has a Trident in it. I don’t know if that’s intentional, but it might be If you look at it from I mean, it’s a Trident coastal edge.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (18:16)
The way they’ve designed their logo, the Trident that’s pretty cool. All right. So let’s take a look.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (18:24)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (19:22)
I’m a big fan of Yoga and I’m a big fan of puppies. Every time I go to somebody’s house to drop something off and do a delivery or something like that. And I see their dogs big small doesn’t matter, I just I just turned into, like a little kid and I’m just like poppies.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (19:35)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (21:41)
I haven’t seen it before. So I’m we’re learning together. Alright, so what are the sponsorship opportunities?

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (21:54)
Okay, maybe I should, I guess I’ll start with the Shock and awe but actually that’s not even the Shock and awe. The shocking awe is down at the media exposure. For some people, media exposure, opportunity.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (22:05)
Okay, here we go. So sponsorship, opportunities, we have title sponsor. $10000 exclusive.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (23:13)
That would take advantage of that speaking event because it says, you know, it says there it says speaking opportunity. Which means that, of course, you don’t have to, but I think it’s a good idea. Okay.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (23:27)
The next one here. Let me see, make sure these other ones. Because there’s a couple of them, okay yeah, so the next tier that I’m looking at is presenting sponsor.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (23:42)

Well, not hopefully, I’m let me not be modest like that.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (28:40)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (35:37)
So which is kind of related to I think the salons back in the day which I heard mentioned on the show big Bang. Theory where people would get together, and they would just talk about, you know, things that were, you know, high level philosophy and science and art. And things like that.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (35:57)
And that’s what I do when I go to the bookstores and coffee shops is I’m thinking about and discussing and sharing ideas. And so that This is what I do when I’m at b* coffee and it’s all tied in and related to this. The healthy living.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (36:20)

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (37:07)

It’s that research.hypnotizing your mind.com and exercising your mind.com just points to that right now. And hypnoa Athletics points to eim and I did that because I don’t know why I decided I was going to save it for something special. But maybe this is coming up to the time where I’m actually going to start to use hypnoa athletics.com, proper and exercising your mind.

A healthy living EXPO in Virginia Beach coming up May 2nd and third 2026 being part of that. So we’ll see, I really already know that it is because it It’s caused me to feel a little bit anxious in some ways because I care about how My information gets presented to people, so I’m a little concerned about how things get presented and I want to make sure that when I speak and I do my demonstrations and things like that that people are going to benefit from it which I know people will I have this knack for always just showing up-and-doing amazing things.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (38:42)
Somehow I just lock in when the time comes so I know I have that history behind me and I’m always very well received. And so I don’t, but I don’t know what, but there’s always that There’s always that I guess it’s not really. It’s not anxiety.

Dr Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander PhD (38:59)
