I just rebranded my coffee, which is a really cool experience for me. What would you say the peak ages are for females? Like, when do you get the most views? That's it, you know, me being that I started in my m****, the m**** genre. Hi! You're a m****, you're only 30. Yeah, actually I'm a little older now. Welcome back to the Digital Social Hour, guys. I'm your host, Sean Kelly, here with an awesome guest for you guys today, Alexis Fox. Hi.

How's it going? It's going good. Thank you so much for having me. This is really awesome. Absolutely. What you been working on lately? Geez, I've been working on a lot of different things. I just rebranded my coffee, which is a really cool experience for me.

And I am also collabing with a local brewer here in las vegas astronomy ale works we have uh two beers that are canned one is uh cheers at breakfast which actually is a coffee beer it's a golden ale with my coffee in it and then i also have a blonde ale that i've done with him called alexis fox it's las vegas interesting i didn't know you can mix coffee and beer yeah yeah it's really really good i actually brought you some. Okay. You'll be able to give that a try later. For you, I'll try it.

I actually don't even drink coffee either, but I'll try it for you. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah. So what made you want to start your own coffee business? I love coffee. And I think like, I guess I've kind of fell in love with coffee, you know, by traveling around and testing it all out in different spots and realizing that depending on where those beans were grown those flavors would come out in the coffee and um i also

smoke a lot of partake in that and you know my sunday fun days are sitting in a hammock having a cup of coffee and just enjoying outside all right right. And one day I just, I was like, you know what? This would be really cool to have my own coffee. I mean, maybe I was a little high. But, you know, I called a friend of mine, which is a roaster, and I was getting my coffee anyway from him. And I was like, hey, I have this idea, and i think it would be really cool and it's a it would be great to kind of make my passion work for me and so where in the world have you had the best

coffee at where were you i would actually say i love italian coffee i love italian espresso it just feels like so velvety and chocolate like just all over your tongue and i also i just have a deep love for costa rica so i don't know if they have the best coffee but i just love it there just i like to brew it the old school way with a cloth hanging over the coffee uh the mug and pouring the water through the uh the grinds it's just i don't know sounds nice i don't even drink coffee but that sounds interesting for sure by By the end of this. So I know you grew up in PA. What was that like?

Because I've been there a few times. Yeah, I grew up in a really small town in Pennsylvania. What was it called? It's a burg. Okay. It's a small burg near Appalachian Trail. Okay. So I grew up just running around in those trails and uh pretty much

was like a tomboy oh yeah super small town experience i couldn't wait to leave i remember being really super young and like thinking gosh if i stay here i'm just gonna suffocate a worse death which i know sounds probably morbid but to me I just I just felt like there is so much more out there yeah um for me to experience in life rather than just be there you know and it was cool but I'm really glad I left yeah I remember when I was a kid in like fourth grade like being a tomboy was kind of cool actually yeah but now it's like kind of weird I think I still am though like i drive a jeep wrangler i'm climbing the mountains in mount charleston okay i just got done um hiking uh havasu falls which is on the native american or indigenous uh reservation and it's about 10.2 miles in and you get to camp

you're off grid and you live off the land and two out. And you also hike waterfalls. I actually hiked one of the scariest hikes I've ever been on, I would say, was Mooney Falls. And it's not a large, it's not a long hike. It's only about 200 feet. But it is through where the waterfall used to fall over. And so you get to a point where it's just straight down. To me, that's wild.

I have a little thing with heights. But I like to do things that kind of scare me and make my heart beat really fast. Wow. So you're an adrenaline junkie. A little bit, yeah. Okay. It's fun. So what did you do when you left PA? Where did you go from there?

I actually went into the Air Force. Oh. Yeah. You didn't get into business to run payroll, did you? That's okay. I didn't either. Now there's Gusto. Gusto not only offers payroll, but also benefits, onboarding, and HR all in one place to more than 300,000 businesses.

And I just grew up where, you know, my next steps were I was in charge of. I moved out when I was in high school. I was in charge, you know, already had my own apartment. So I was like, oh, you know, what's the next step?

And I couldn't wait. I was like, I was making my move. Let me get out of this small town. What do I do? And the Air Force to me going into the military just seemed like the most logical choice because i was gonna you know i would have room and board you know until i got comfortable it would be a secure paycheck and you know the offering of school was always nice to have you know it's like the carrot so or it was for me and i went into the military i did really

well graduated top of my class in basic in tech school nice yeah which gave me a lot of confidence i found high school super boring so i didn't really apply myself right in here suddenly i was able to apply myself to new things uh it kept me physically active and being a very energetic person i need that physical activity i don't have physical activity that's why i work out today is just it will come out in every other way possible, which isn't always great. So to kind of keep me on balance, that physical activity was really good for me.

Being young, fresh out of my hometown and being on my own, it was a good right step for me. Okay. Speaking of physical activity. Yes. Let's get right into it how did you engage in the adult industry how did i how did that all start yeah funny um i actually answered a craigslist ad no way way back in the day that's sketchy i know it wasn't

sketchy back oh back then it was more well maybe it was but we just weren't aware of it it just really wasn't on blast yet i guess um i know looking back i would have never done that maybe it was a move um literally like what was the post on craigslist you remember it um it was actually just supposed to be an extra for dancing bear and i've always been a free spirit i watched plenty of uh or searched it out on my own and I knew what Dancing Bear was. I was like, oh my God, I get to watch live.

Yeah, I'm going to go down. And so I, I went down and I went down by myself and, you know, was signing in

and they were going over like, hey, we're looking for people, you know, you can kiss your friend, you make extra money, show your, you make extra money and they're only over like, hey, we're looking for people. You know, you can kiss your friend. You make extra money. Show your b****. You make extra money.

And they're only going to b**** that day. And they said what it was. I think it was like 500 bucks or something. I don't remember exactly. And I just shot my hand straight up. I was like, oh yeah, b****, I can do that. You know, and the next thing I knew, I was booked to be the bride of the party and to the bear wow i didn't know those

girls were like selected i thought you just walked around and it was random no no it's all selected really yeah so we all showed up and they'll be going to pick what's called the mains yeah and the mains are either going to like are going tot act with the other person. So they're either going to do b**t or b**t, b**t, whatever it is that they're going to perform. And then the extras, which I originally went there for, was going to clap, cheer the other person. They're the ones clapping, right? Okay. Yay! I've seen that. No, I haven't seen that. I've never watched that. Yeah, of course not. Of course not.

That's interesting, yeah. So yeah, that was my first experience. And I just remember like I wasn't nervous. I was like, yeah, OK, I'm going to do this. I didn't really feel nervous until it was like right before my time. And I was like, OK, I just don't want to take as long as the person before me. I just wanted to do a really good job. And I just thought of every sloppy **** or something like that that i've ever watched it was like just trying

to mimic that i've seen yeah do what i was about to do so that was that was my that was my that was your breakthrough and then from there you just took off yeah and that's how alexis fox was completely born yeah yeah and then did you get into eventually or did you just yeah that actually yeah because i've been in now for 13 years in the industry. So I've seen him come through a lot of changes from anywhere from our health testing to how we were getting paid. Just all sorts. Legal, our sign ins or sign outs, boundary checklists now are happening. What's up?

So our boundary checklist. So when we go on set, know i'm working with somebody i maybe i may have worked there with with them hundreds of times i may have never worked with them yeah and because we're engaging this physical activity i want to make sure that my partner feel as safe as possible i want to know like do you you know if you don't like your earlobes touched or you don't like this touched or that hurts or you're you know pinching yeah do you want a thumb and it's like all these things you know are important because if you don't like it i don't want to do it you know what i mean so i want to respect your boundaries and then i also want my boundaries

respected so we go through all that you know what is our safe word we go through safe words uh oh you have that yeah we actually have safe words to use it um no i actually have not i have not um luckily yeah and i have had an amazing journey through this industry i really have like i have a very positive um i have a very positive journey of the whole throughout the whole thing that's a rare take i feel like a lot of people get damaged from it yeah i i think that's what's been shown um i think that's what like people i don't know like sometimes i see these reality tv shows i feel like that's what's been shown um i think that's why like people i don't know like sometimes i see these reality tv shows i feel like that's that's the part they highlight and i'm like there's there's good and bad in every single industry right you're gonna have you know people that

abuse their power in every industry well i know i've been a paralegal i saw it there you know i've had office jobs i've seen it in other places the military all those places have good and bad in it you know we're humans there's not everybody's the same yeah it's like police officers like there's good cops there's bad right exactly so um if i you know i always speak very positively and it's because it is my truth and it is you know my journey. I've never had to yell cut or anything like that. Wow. And I make my boundaries very clear. But also I think, you know, coming into the adult industry already in my 30s, you know,

I'm not 18. So someone approaching an 18-year-old and a 35-year-old or whatever age, you know, maybe a different approach. Yeah. Someone may toe the line with me, especially toe the line with me now that I have a name, you know, where maybe someone they might think they could get away with pushing a boundary. Yeah. So everybody's journey is gonna be different.

True. You know, um, I speak up for myself. So you're definitely learning to speak up for yourself, saying no to things that you wanna say no to. Yeah. Um, I only say yes to those things that i'm absolutely 100 that i want to do um so i think that's all kept me very safe and it's kept me in really good standing with all companies and all my fellow talent members nice what would you say the peak ages are for females like when do you get the most views that's it you know me being that i started in my genre uh hi you're only 30 yeah i'm a little older now i've been in for a while now but that's okay

i like it i'll take 30 um and speaking that i started in my, I started in my thirties and I started out as a, um, was a huge genre for me. Um, it, it really made my career. I mean, I was getting 15, 25 shoots a month when I was building my name and branding myself. So for me, I, you know, being in my thirts got a lot of clicks. I think, I'm sure there's statistics on between 18 to 30 now, but this is really high up there. It's one of their top niches. Yeah.

You know, along with other things that they do. Yeah. Newer massage is also very popular. Massages? Neuro. Neuro? Yeah. yeah newer massage is also very massages what what kind of neuro yeah so that's like with the seaweed and uh it's like this really goopy luby people are watching this man you could slip all over it's really fun to do actually i've never seen it i'm getting a massage after this but that one sounds interesting yeah check it out check it out it's very slippery wow okay well uh it might avalate um it might uh um

it may increase your massage okay is there a scene or particular video you film that you really remember that stands out to you um yeah you know actually there's quite a few i i think the ones that i definitely have the most connection to are the ones that I was able to help write, produce, select the talent, kind of, you know, set the tone for the series or for the video itself. Right. I've done quite a few little different ones, mostly with um or with um who i'm contracted with now i saw that documentary it's really good oh thanks on netflix did you see that yeah i saw

it too yeah um so be able to do that where you can like take something from your imagination and create an actual um physical product of it is pretty spectacular it's really awesome like do people actually watch the build-up scenes where it's like a fake police officer or something? Like, people actually watch that?

You'd be surprised, yes. Really? And then, like, if they find that something is not cohesive or,

you know, you may have, like, moved a cup or something, you'll have that one person. You're like, are you serious, man? That really,

that really ruined it for you because yeah difference yeah i thought people just skipped over that to be honest you know i think it just depends some people really get into like the whole movie part of it that's where features are going to be like really going to get popular because it's um you know you get into dialogue and you know then seeing itself the actual activity is only anywhere between 30 to 40 minutes wow but your dialogue maybe you know may take four to five hours wow oh it takes that long for the dialogue yeah we're one wait for one separate feature excuse me um we could literally have dialogue for quite a few hours and then like i said this will be 30 40 minutes of our

activity time. They're just sitting there trying to get for five hours. Yeah, I got to say, there's been on some sets where I feel bad for the guy because maybe the script is written where he has to go up and down, up and down. And I'm like, oh, man, it's really working out for me to be a female right now. Yeah, that's rough because you can only stay up for so long before it starts to hurt you know yeah yeah exactly um so you probably get crazy people in your dms yeah you don't have to name drop them but what's that like you can if you want though um i get you know it's funny i get a lot of athletes a lot of blue check mark athletes athletes love the girls they do they do and i'm like you know

once in a while like it'll be interesting and i might chat back but you know i don't really take it too seriously and i'm too far with you leaving them on red yeah yeah i'm like if you're not following me what why am i gonna like so they gotta follow you first and slide to my DM on the tip. Nah. Man, I'd love to see the products you brought. Oh, for sure. Yes. Is this the coffee? Yeah. So I brought you.

So this is what my. Sorry, that's a lot of noise. So this is what my blonde ale looks like. That's the beer coffee. That's the blonde ale. Nice. So you dyed your hair since ale. Nice. So you dyed your hair since then? Yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of funny. I've had my hair color a bunch of different. So I started out with black hair, had blonde hair, brown hair. Now it's red. So we're actually, that's a local brewer, Astrodermy Aleworks. And we're just kind of playing along with my blonde, like the different colors of hair.

So we do a blonde ale. We do a... which is dark hair. And, you know, just having fun with it. Wow. Why not? Yeah.

And then this is the coffee. We just did a rebrand of it. Okay. H-A-F. It was high AF coffee, but everybody thought it had THC in it. I was like, no. So you had to remove the high word?

Yeah. I was like, I can't ship it to you if it did but yeah we have cold brew we have beans grind and teas hot chocolate and stuff like that so so you like getting high do you think is better when you're high for me i love it for me especially if i do like a like a microdose edible or something like that i i just i get really feely i like the sensations yeah i like that it and like even if you do cbd i like that it takes the i'm a busy woman so it takes the laundry list that i have to do and i kind of forget about it for a moment and allows me to be present in the moment with that partner and get into that get into the pleasure of right

you know whether you know and i i don't do that when i go to work obviously this is only for my private use yeah because i want to be as clear minded as possible and set but yeah my private life i love it oh so you're having outside of work too yeah nice so like are you like dating or like like how's dating life with um dating life is always interesting um it's i don't for me because i i'm kind of shy really believe it or not i'm a bit introverted when i go out in public okay you know yeah i am a little bit i like to sit back observe you know and tread lightly and and uh you know if there's people that are interesting i like a conversation and people that make me laugh and then see where that goes so it's always interesting i like to look at it as kind of you know meeting people and lovers all over i do a

lot of traveling so it's a lot of fun yeah you filmed everywhere yeah yeah now with it's literally just filming like i could go on content trips. Yeah, I've seen that. And meet a lot of different people that maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to work with on a mainstream set. But now I get to work with them for my own sites. Amazing.
