Rye whiskey production had a historic past in the northeastern states, especially Pennsylvania and Maryland. And now Sagamore Spirit based in Baltimore is bringing rye whiskey back. Ryan and I traveled to record this interview with their CEO, Brian Tracey, and their Director of Operations, Ryan Norwood. We uncover Brian's unique past of how a phone call with Kevin Plank, the CEO of Under Armor, would take him from running a backpacking and kayaking company in Flagstaff Arizona to building a new distillery from the ground up. One of Brian's tasks was to find a distiller and that led to a few conversations with Ryan Norwood, a young guy who was really into yeast and beers. Sagamore had a longstanding relationship with MGP but now they have their own Maryland rye distillate and we talk about how they shaped and revitalized the Maryland rye category. Show Notes: Brian talk about how you go from ski bum to whiskey CEO? How did you cross paths with Under Armor CEO, Kevin Plank, and him ask you to become CEO? What did you know about the distilling business before starting? What did Kevin like about the distilling business? What was the initial vision? After you were convinced to start, who was the first call you made? When did Ryan Norwood come into the picture for distilling? Walk us through the differences be between brewing and distilling. What was is like working with Larry Ebersold to develop your Maryland style rye? Why do distilleries go with 95/5 rye? What was the process of figuring out how to scale and go beyond a 500 gallon pot still? Why only distill rye whiskey when bourbon is so popular? What does it mean to you when articles begin coming out without any affiliation to Under Armor? As a CEO, what are you trying to empower your people with? What was it about going down the path of finished whiskeys? Do you have any horror stories from working with barrel brokers on used barrels? Here's how we all came together to collaborate on Pursuit United Rye. @sagamorespirit @sagamorewhiskeybrian @smilesdavisjr Support this podcast on Patreon

James is currently an Account Services Associate at Under Armour. UA has one mission: to make you better. The Brand was created in 1996 when University of Maryland special teams captain Kevin Plank looked down at his heavy, sweaty cotton T-shirt and thought: there has got to be something better. So, he made a T-shirt that keeps you cool, light, and dry, so you can push yourself further. Today, UA makes a lot more than performance T-shirts—shoes that make you faster, gear that takes on the elements, digital tools to help you get healthier—but that commitment to innovation still lies at the heart of everything UA does. In this episode, James shares the lessons he learned while working various part-time roles in college. He also elaborates on the importance of networking, and what he does within UA. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Kevin Plank, Under Armour, Rebel Ideas and Starting A Business at 40plus So often when we hear of budding entrepreneurs, and we have profiled quite a few over the years, we usually think of young go getters with new ideas and masses of energy who embark on a focussed journey to success. But is setting up a business at a young age a sure-fire route to success or is there something to be said for gathering experience and knowledge first? Online publication, Inc.com featured an article which suggests that older can sometime be better. A study of 2.7million business start ups threw out some interesting data which turns the ‘start early' idea on its head. It's an interesting article and certainly food for thought. Former Olympic table tennis player Matthew Syed has turned his hand to writing in recent years and we have talked about his book Black Box Thinking in the past however, his latest offering is encouraging us to think differently. Rebel Ideas, The Power Of Thinking Differently explores some of the reason why man makes mistakes, sometimes with world changing consequence, and he uses the art of storytelling to help us understand the points he makes. His live virtual book launch at the start of Covid 19 provides an insight into the way he thinks and demonstrates to us the many reasons why his book is worth reading. Since Heather heavily invested in sports clothing company Under Armour via Revolut she's been keeping a close eye on billionaire founder Kevin Plank in the hope that some of his luck might rub off on her significant investments. Plank set up the clothing giant almost by accident and it has literally taken over as one of the most sought after brands for stylish exercise. Even if you aren't familiar with the brand you will know it if you see the logo. Planks story is an interesting one and could probably be put in the young entrepreneur category we discussed earlier.

Under Armour settled its long-pending SEC investigation by agreeing to pay $9 million surrounding misleading statements and practices relating to its revenue growth and uncertainties as to future growth. As part of the settlement, the SEC declined to bring charges against its CEO, Kevin Plank, and its CFO, David Bergman. The Justice Department inquiry appears to have lost steam since the middle of last year, and DOJ likely declined prosecution. Under Armour had been the subject of a long-running probe since 2019 when Under Armour disclosed the DOJ and SEC investigations into its accounting practices. The SEC's case eventually focused on its revenue projections and accounting practices.

Now a billion dollar company Under Armour began with a single product -- a form-fitting moisture-wicking shirt that founder and CEO Kevin Plank developed to remedy his own problems with perspiration after a long day on the football field. At a recent presentation co-sponsored by the Wharton Leadership Lectures and the Jay H. Baker Retailing Initiative Plank discussed the company's growth trajectory and shared the principles and slogans that guide him in his efforts to build ”the biggest baddest brand on the planet.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
