Tampa Florida is home to Michael Murphy and Murphy Auto Group (MAG), a combination of five automotive retail dealerships and seven ancillary and support companies. However, the present picture does not reveal the full story that led to this success.

Michael grew up with a father who brought their family out of poverty by being drafted by the Dodgers. Following a career-ending injury, Michael’s father began working for his brother’s car dealership and eventually bought his own. This is where Michael was introduced to the business of cars, though, he seriously pursued baseball till college. Once in college, he took the same road as his father and got into the auto industry. Upon finishing college, Michael helped move his father’s business forward by developing their online presence and after his father received a shocking cancer diagnosis, he became one of the youngest general managers in the nation.

Today, Mike Murphy is the CEO and president of Murphy Auto Group and anticipates immense future success. In an interview, he laid out the steps that led him to become a flourishing entrepreneur. “Step one was to be born, as my father is the founder of our original company. Step two was to fail at being a professional athlete. Step three was to surround myself with smart mentors and listen about how they made their millions and became ultra-successful”. And just as he has seen with his own family, his greatest reward is “watching somebody change their life for the better, especially when it lasts multiple generations”.

Brooklyn’s Aesthetic Island has become the go-to destination for clients seeking advanced med spa treatments that merge artistry with clinical precision. Under the direction of board-certified Nurse Practitioner and educator Eva Israilova, the spa offers a wide range of services designed to refresh, restore, and refine the face and body. From injectables and thread lifts to non-invasive contouring, each treatment is customized for results that balance natural beauty with transformative impact.

Conveniently located on Coney Island Avenue, Aesthetic Island accommodates the city’s fast-paced lifestyle with flexible scheduling and carefully tailored care. Every client begins with a thorough review of their health history, lifestyle, and personal goals, ensuring that treatments meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy. Volume restoration with fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra, PDO threads for subtle lifting, and HydraFacials or chemical peels for skin clarity are all thoughtfully integrated into treatment plans.

Among the most popular services is the non-surgical nose enhancement with dermal fillers, which delivers immediate improvements with refined precision. Small adjustments to the bridge, tip, or profile create elegant results that elevate confidence while maintaining a natural look.

The spa is also recognized for its CO2 laser program, often described as the ultimate reset for the skin. By resurfacing the outer layers while encouraging deep collagen renewal, the treatment smooths texture, minimizes damage, and restores firmness. Paired with Morpheus8, it becomes one of the most effective combinations available for total skin rejuvenation.

Complementing these signature offerings, Aesthetic Island also provides holistic services such as IV therapy, laser hair removal, and weight-loss programs, making it a comprehensive beauty destination. Eva extends her expertise beyond her clients through professional training, mentoring the next generation of practitioners in injectables, threads, and advanced non-invasive procedures. The result is a med spa that defines the future of aesthetic care in New York.
