Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Jordan

"David would do well in prison." We kick off the hour with David Samson discussing the latest turn in the Kawhi Leonard saga and Kawhi claiming not to know who Pablo Torre is. David also weighs in on the action in the MLB Wild Card round and whether it could force big changes to the Postseason system in the new CBA. Then, Bruce Willis' co-star in American Siege, legendary sports collector, and owner of the World Jai-Alai League, Rob Gough, joins us in the studio to discuss the changes he is bringing to the sport in Miami and his $12 million sale of a Mickey Mantle card and Michael Jordan jersey.

Send us Fan MailHundreds of phones went up in the MEO Arena the moment Michael Jordan stepped on stage at SBC Summit, and what followed was far more useful than a typical sports business talk. We walk through the sharpest ideas from that conversation with Jordan, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins, and Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl, then translate them into real-world lessons for marketing leadership, brand strategy, and building companies in uncertain markets.We start with a principle that gets more important the easier content becomes to produce: authenticity before visibility. AI can generate assets, platforms can amplify them, and paid media can push them everywhere, but none of that creates credibility if the connection is forced. From there we move to focus and control. When modern business drowns us in dashboards, attribution, predictions, and AI analysis, the edge is knowing what you can influence and putting your energy there. We also unpack a tension many executives and creators feel right now: personal branding can strengthen a company, but it can also quietly compete with the team objective if it drifts away from the strategy.Robins brings the strategic centerpiece: stop trying to predict one future and start building option value. That mindset maps directly onto AI adoption, where nobody truly knows which models, agent platforms, or workflows will win. Koerl pushes the AI conversation beyond efficiency into innovation, showing why “write faster” is less interesting than “build what was impossible before.” We close on the most human takeaway: data improves judgment, but it never deletes uncertainty, and great leaders still act without perfect information.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who leads a team, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.This episode was recorded at SBC Summit (Lisbon) on Sep 29, 2026.

Scott Anthony had already lived a life most people wouldn't believe. He grew up in Chicago street gangs, robbed drug dealers, trafficked cocaine, fled the United States, lived under aliases, and eventually built a new life in Mexico. Then he discovered another business: Cuban cigars. While still on federal probation, Scott says he began traveling to Cuba, buying hundreds of boxes of cigars, moving them through Mexico, and smuggling them across the U.S. border. What started with 40 boxes eventually grew into loads of hundreds at a time. His customers ranged from wealthy businessmen and cigar dealers to some of Chicago's biggest names—including Michael Jordan. In this episode, Scott breaks down the rise of his Cuban cigar operation, the border seizures, the people who moved the merchandise, his encounters in Cuba, and why he ultimately walked away from the business and put the money into building a legitimate fitness empire in Mexico. This is the story of a career criminal who eventually decided he'd pushed his luck far enough. Go Support Scott!

In this episode, Randall covers the latest developments across the HBCU community, including a significant update on Kentucky State basketball player Aminata Seck's ongoing ICE detention and hospitalization, Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand's $1 million investment in the new Morehouse Multimedia Center, and North Carolina A&T's historic first-ever win over a ranked FCS opponent with their upset victory over Rhode Island. He also shares his thoughts on Netflix's A Different World sequel series and teases a full review coming soon. Randall then sits down with former Texas volleyball star Haley Eckerman, the architect behind Team Dream — the 12-woman, all-Black roster that went 7-0 and won the 2018 USA Volleyball Open National Championship. Together, they discuss the inception of the team, the challenges of assembling and competing with just one practice, the gritty comeback in the semifinals, and the now-iconic "Swag Surfin'" celebration that followed their championship win. Eckerman also opens up about the barriers to access in volleyball for Black athletes, how the Team Dream experience shapes her coaching at Kent State, and why the new OWN documentary "We Belong Here: The Story of Team Dream" — directed by North Carolina Central alumna Bianca Barnes Williams — is about far more than just sports.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. We're back after a couple of weeks under the weather and ready to talk watches. But we're not just talking about them; we're also asking whether watch financing has helped or hurt the hobby we all enjoy. Perhaps that's an easy question, but the tougher one is whether we'd do it! We hope you enjoy the episode.Unless you've been living under a rock for the last several years, it's impossible not to notice the easy offers of watch financing on every retailer's website. In fact, paying in installments is even an option on eBay! Today, we'll talk about the effect on the industry and whether we'd ever consider it. HandgelenkskontrolleThis week, after a brief discussion about our recent maladies, we discuss the Laver Cup. Mike attended the final day in London and reflects on the experience. This kicks off a discussion about Rolex, the brand's sponsorship of the tournament, and some of the other watches seen on the players and coaches. Next, Balazs mentions Michael Jordan's former Ferrari 550 Maranello, which is currently up for auction on Joopiter. Then, Mike mentions the Donut Watch, which arrived soon after our last episode. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing the new Albishorn Type X-Graph, a cool chronograph with a polycarbonate dial. Mike is rather boring because he's still wearing the same watch as three weeks ago! It's his trusty Rolex Submariner 14060M.Watch financingOur longtime listener Cezary recently wrote to us asking whether watch financing has been a boon to the industry. Well, the short answer is that, of course, it has benefitted sellers. That said, is it an option buyers should consider? Mike recalls buying his Rolex Explorer 14270 back in 1998 using a 0% store credit card financing scheme over 12 months. It worked, but we're sure the scheme often backfired on buyers. Furthermore, we can imagine it's tempting to purchase a watch that's tough to find when the funds aren't readily available. But is it the right move to make? Then again, maybe there's a scenario in which a loved one is graduating and a watch is an important gift. We ponder these situations and more on today's episode.We hope you enjoy today's show, and thank you for listening! As always, if you have any ideas for show topics, feel free to let us know.

Episodio 165 Kylian Mbappé ha lasciato Nike per scegliere On, il marchio svizzero diventato negli ultimi anni uno dei nomi più interessanti dello sport mondiale, specializzato in materiale da corsa, e che attraverso di lui cerca di entrare nel mercato del calcio. Ma quella di Mbappé è soltanto l'ultima storia di un rapporto che ha trasformato lo sport: quello tra i grandi campioni e i brand. Dalla scommessa di Nike su un giovanissimo Michael Jordan alla lunga partnership con Tiger Woods, passando per Stephen Curry e Under Armour e per Roger Federer, che dopo l'addio a Nike ha scelto Uniqlo e investito proprio in On, riscrivendo le regole del gioco. In questa puntata di Linee ripercorriamo alcune delle sponsorizzazioni più importanti e iconiche della storia dello sport, tra chi ha avuto successo e chi no, per comprendere in che modo alcuni accordi vadano molto oltre il semplice aspetto economico, portandosi dietro forti impatti sul mercato sportivo, sulla storia degli atleti e dei brand coinvolti, e perfino sull'opinione pubblica. E poi le altre storie: i Mondiali di ciclismo; Nicolò Bulega campione del mondo in Super Bike; i problemi del Manchester City e di Gianni Infantino; una legge discussa sul bere negli stati in Inghilterra e una campionessa di scacchi di 11 anni. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ⁠Qui puoi acquistare il mio libro su Lamine Yamal ⁠  Segui Linee anche su Instagram e TikTok!

Chicago Bulls Media Day is here—and the time for hypotheticals is over.On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the FIVE biggest questions Bryson Graham, Tiago Splitter and the Bulls must answer before training camp officially begins.First: Why did Chicago move on from Rob Dillingham before Splitter ever coached him? The Bulls traded the 21-year-old guard before camp, and that decision could tell us a lot about how Graham evaluates inherited players, developmental upside and roster fit.Then we get into what may be the MOST important Media Day question:What is the actual development plan for Dailyn Swain and Noa Essengue?

Don Yaeger has spent 30 years studying what makes stories stick — and he's put it all into his new book, The Business of Storytelling: Inspire Action, Build Trust, and Drive Results Through Story. In this conversation, Don breaks down why "the story is the strategy," the neuroscience behind why we fall for a good story (looking at you, Steve Jobs), why PowerPoint slides kill more presentations than they save, and the exact "x-ray" method he uses to reverse-engineer his own talks.Don is a 13-time New York Times bestselling author, longtime journalist, and one of the most sought-after storytelling coaches in the world — he's worked with Simon Sinek, Forbes, and NVIDIA's senior leadership, among others.

Hour 2 (09.24) Hurricane Polo is sending dangerous surf and rip currents toward SoCal beaches Sunday through Tuesday. Plus, the Lakers lose Lawrence Tanter, their arena voice since 1982. 7:05 Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, worth more than $110 billion, hit a snag. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín gave the "Block the Merger" coalition time to object to Paramount's settlement with California and other states. Paramount owes Warner Bros. Discovery $7 million a day starting Oct. 1 if the deal isn't approved. Also, a bipartisan bill in Congress would create a 20% federal tax credit for film and TV made in the U.S. 7:20 Hurricane Polo is churning off Mexico's Pacific coast. SoCal won't take a direct hit, but high surf, rip currents and big morning tides could bring coastal flooding and erosion Sunday through Tuesday. 7:35 Knicks star Jalen Brunson hosts the Saturday Night Live Season 52 premiere Sept. 26. He's the fifth NBA player to host, after Bill Russell (1979), Michael Jordan (1991), Charles Barkley (1993, and three more times since) and LeBron James (2007). Then Dallas Raines joins with the latest on Hurricane Polo. 7:50 Lawrence Tanter, the voice of Lakers home games from 1982 until his retirement this year, has died at 76, weeks after entering hospice care. "It's been a blessing," he said when he entered hospice. Also, a string of late-night break-ins has hit Encino, Sherman Oaks and the Hollywood Hills, with burglars smashing glass doors to get in.

Episode Summary In this thought-provoking episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the frameworks, strategies, and mental models critical for thriving as a business coach. From dissecting the real meaning behind "finding your why" and the transformative effects of presence and confidence, to unpacking powerful sales mindsets like "needing nothing attracts everything," Karl shares actionable insights and relatable stories that demystify what it actually takes to win high-end coaching clients and build a business that runs on referrals, retention, and real results. Key Topics Covered AI, Fear, and the Need for Guardrails Karl Bryan explores the current conversation around AI regulation, questioning the motives of tech leaders calling for government involvement. He draws parallels with past global fears, urging business coaches to stay optimistic but grounded, preparing smartly for future disruptions. Finding Your Why Without Getting Lost The myth of "magically discovering your purpose" is debunked. Karl recommends a practical approach: revisit your three most painful life experiences and let their lessons shape your drive to help others. Ultimately, action trumps endless navel-gazing—purpose reveals itself through relentless forward movement. The Power of Presence True presence is described as the ability to make others feel uniquely seen and valued—think Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, or Michael Jordan. Karl illustrates how mastering presence turbocharges business relationships, slows down precious moments, and fosters deeper client connections. How to Build Unshakable Confidence Karl dishes out the "5 C's of Confidence": Core Values, Communication (especially self-talk), Courage, Competence, and Compassion. Confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself, practicing until you're truly skilled, and pushing through fear with deliberate action. Sales, Conversion, and the Art of Needing Nothing Whether presenting or closing, Karl insists that "you can't transfer what you don't own"—real belief and energy must be practiced and earned. Letting go of desperation in sales is key: needing nothing actually attracts everything. This energetic detachment, he notes, is both a science and an art. Zen & Wanting Less Ending on a note of wisdom, Karl shares a parable about two friends—one catering to the king for riches, the other living simply—and drives home the importance of a "want less" strategy. True freedom, fulfillment, and professional magnetism come from lowering your dependencies and dialing down your expectations. Notable Quotes "Magic's not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." – Karl Bryan "You don't become a business coach by accident—we're a beaten up bunch… your why usually lives in your three most painful moments." – Karl Bryan "Presence is the greatest gift you can give your family. It's not a vehicle, not a diamond ring—it's you in the here and now." – Karl Bryan "Needing nothing attracts everything. When you put all your energy on one outcome, the universe balances the seesaw." – Karl Bryan "You can't transfer something you don't own. Your level of belief is what makes the sale." – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Identify Your Why Through Painful Lessons: Reflect on your most challenging personal experiences. Use their emotional insights as fuel for your coaching journey and client focus. Master Presence: When coaching or networking, slow down—look people in the eye, listen deeply, and focus entirely on the person in front of you. Your energy will become magnetic. Keep Promises to Yourself: Confidence comes from integrity—don't break your own word, whether it's a commitment to outreach, personal habits, or bold business moves. Develop Detachment in Sales: Don't pin your hopes (or energy) on a single client or deal. Gen up your pipeline and approach each opportunity without neediness. This mindset attracts abundance. Practice Relentlessly: Skill is built through repetition and reflection. Don't just practice—practice to improve. Continually raise your own belief in the value you deliver. Adopt a "Want Less" Mentality: List your wants, then write down why you don't truly need them. Lowered expectations and needs equal greater professional and personal power.

Welcome to the Nick Hiter Show, This week it's just Nick in Studio X with a story he first read at 11 years old, a mile from where he sits: a 15 year old in Wilmington, North Carolina looking for his name on a list.Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Nick Hiter Show, I start with the roster that didn't have Michael Jordan's name on it and follow the small wins from junior varsity to six championships, because the part of that story that matters is that the list was right about the moment and wrong about the future. Then I go back to my own list: the night my dad drove me through the night to Kenosha, Wisconsin, the $650 a month contract I signed that morning, my first professional at bat, and why the room was always bigger than me. From there it's the decade I was lost, rock bottom in 2013 with a young child and a wife I couldn't afford to marry, the insurance interview my family told me to turn down, and the licensing exam I failed three times with a 69. I talk about the mentor who told me to give it a real shot, meeting the real Brad Lee and reverse engineering the studio I saw in Vegas, and the winning streak habit that turned gratitude into momentum. I walk through the exercise I'm running with our agents at Real Financial right now, what kind of Christmas do you want, and working backwards from that number to a couple thousand conversations. And I bring it home with the question I want you to ask every morning: who are you three years from today, and what would that person do today?Key Points:- Before the world saw Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan had to see Michael Jordan.- The list wasn't wrong. It described his circumstances, not his future. A snapshot, not a sentence.- You can't hit a target you can't see. Visualize the end and work backwards to close the gap.- When things get the hardest, that's how you know you're on the right track.- What you focus on grows. Look for problems and you find them. Look for wins and you find those.- Everything that's happening to you is happening for you, and you choose how to use it.- Change requires different. Growth requires change. You can't get something different by doing the same.- Gratitude and entitlement cannot coexist.- Most of the problems people bring you are belief problems.- Visualization gives you the target, small wins give you evidence, evidence gives you confidence, and confidence creates momentum.- Ask what the person you're becoming would do today, then go get that one win.Chapters:0:00 Welcome to Studio X, and the mantra: work hard, dream big2:39 A 15 year old in Wilmington: Michael Jordan and the list9:38 Old Nick's shot at pro baseball: the Kenosha tryout20:36 Lost for a decade, rock bottom, and the insurance interview28:31 Give it a real shot: who is Nick the insurance agent?33:33 The winning streak: small wins, gratitude, what you focus on grows39:23 What kind of Christmas do you want?

Tobin kicks things off with a little flem flub which for some reason has the guy reminiscing on the Suzyn Waldman's Rodger Clemens luxury box call. The Marlins beat the Cubs last night and are going for the sweep today; and discuss Sandy continuing to close! Tobin asks Brittney if she will be getting the new Miami throwback jerseys; which then spirals into a quibble about mix matching brands and whether Nike and Jordan are the same thing. Leroy can't stop bringing up Aaron Rodger and refuses to admit his disdain for him.

Divorce can bring anxiety, self-doubt, and beliefs about ourselves that we may not even realize we are carrying. Sometimes those beliefs have been with us for decades, quietly influencing what we think we can handle, what we expect from ourselves, and even what we believe our life is supposed to look like.Today, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder welcomes back Performance and Mindset Expert Karen Ross for a fascinating conversation about hypnotherapy, guided visualization, and the power of our subconscious beliefs.Karen explains what hypnotherapy actually looks like and clears up some of the misconceptions created by stage hypnosis. Mardi and Karen also discuss how guided visualization can help people become more aware of limiting beliefs and begin creating a different picture of what they want moving forward.For someone navigating divorce, these techniques may be particularly useful when dealing with anxiety surrounding mediation, difficult communication, or beliefs such as “I can't handle this on my own” or “my life was supposed to look different.” Rather than remaining focused entirely on the problem, Karen encourages clients to begin asking a different question: How do I want this to be?Q&AQ: What does hypnotherapy actually feel like?A: You aren't asleep or unaware of what's happening. Karen and Mardi describe it as a deeply relaxed state that can feel similar to guided meditation, except the experience is personalized around your specific goals. You remain conscious and aware throughout the process.Q: Can a hypnotherapist make you do something you don't want to do?A: No. Hypnotherapy isn't mind control, and the suggestions used in a session are based on what the client wants to accomplish. Mardi and Karen explain that the process isn't about overriding someone's values or beliefs. It is designed to help the client work toward changes they have chosen for themselves.Q: How could hypnotherapy be helpful during divorce?A: Divorce can create considerable anxiety and can also bring long-standing limiting beliefs to the surface. Mardi shares how she uses hypnotherapy with clients preparing for mediation to help them relax, reduce anxiety, and visualize themselves moving through the experience in a more positive way. It can also be used after divorce when someone is working through beliefs about what their life “should” look like.Q: What if a positive statement doesn't feel believable to you?A: Karen suggests starting with willingness. Instead of forcing yourself to say something you don't believe, you might begin with “I'm willing to...” and move toward the change. Mardi shares another approach: “There's a part of me that knows I can...” Both can create room for a new possibility without requiring you to pretend you already believe something you don't.Q: Is hypnotherapy usually a one-session process?A: Not necessarily. Both Karen and Mardi discuss the value of repetition and reinforcement. Karen combines solution-focused coaching with hypnotherapy and typically begins by helping clients identify what they want to be different. The hypnotherapy can then reinforce that new vision, while clients also learn techniques they can use on their own.About the Guest:Karen Ross is a Performance Mindset Expert who uses dynamic guided visualization, solution-focused coaching and hypnotherapy to help clients break through mental barriers so they perform at a higher level. While she has a strong niche with athletes of all ages, executives, entrepreneurs and other high-achievers also overcome anxiety, sharpen focus, strengthen confidence, and unlock peak performance in both life and business. Her diverse background, from executive search to interviewing renowned thought leaders on a former Chicago radio show, has sharpened her ability to quickly connect with people and uncover what truly drives their success. This work can include hypnosis and many are surprised to learn that the practice of hypnosis has been used by icons like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Albert Einstein, and is now used at renowned institutions like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. When used as a therapeutic process, it can be life-changing.For Karen's gift: https://karenrossnow.com/ To connect with Karen:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenrossnow/ Website: https://karenrossnow.com/ Email: info@karenrossnow.comAbout the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

Steve Kerr is a nine-time NBA champion , widely recognized as one of the most successful and influential figures in basketball history. Across a legendary career spanning more than three decades as an elite player, executive, and head coach, Kerr has consistently engineered a culture of winning. As a player, Kerr was a lethal sharpshooter who spent 15 seasons in the NBA and still holds the all-time league record for the highest career three-point percentage (45.4%). He captured five NBA championships on the court—three alongside Michael Jordan with the historic 1990s Chicago Bulls, and two under Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs.  In 2014, Kerr transitioned to the sidelines as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. He instantly revolutionized modern basketball, orchestrating the greatest regular season in NBA history (73-9) and anchoring a modern dynasty that has yielded four NBA championships . Named one of the 15 Greatest Coaches in NBA History, Kerr also added to his global legacy by coaching the U.S. Men's National Basketball Team to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.   We invited Steve on because he has been such a huge supporter of our work over the years, and he epitomizes the type of coach and builds the type of culture that we believe is essential in today's sporting environment.

Nike reste le premier équipementier sportif mondial, mais la marque américaine traverse une période difficile. Baisse du chiffre d'affaires, chute de l'action, perte de parts de marché en Chine et montée en puissance de nouveaux concurrents, le géant de la basket doit désormais retrouver l'innovation et la désirabilité qui ont fait son succès. C'est une marque et un logo que l'on connaît toutes et tous : Nike et sa célèbre virgule. Et si Nike est toujours le premier équipementier sportif mondial, son image est sérieusement écornée. Kylian Mbappé a annoncé le 18 septembre qu'il mettait fin à sa collaboration avec l'entreprise. Cette semaine, Nike a également perdu sa place au sein de l'indice S&P 100, qui regroupe les 100 plus grandes capitalisations boursières américaines. Un symbole supplémentaire du déclassement du géant américain. Pourtant, il y a encore trois ans, l'entreprise réalisait un chiffre d'affaires record : 51,4 milliards de dollars sur l'exercice 2023-2024. Mais aujourd'hui, il est inférieur de près de cinq milliards de dollars. Et autre symbole de ce déclassement : l'action Nike a perdu près de 80% de sa valeur en cinq ans. Si le géant mondial de la basket connaît une période difficile, c'est notamment en raison de différentes erreurs stratégiques. D'abord, le groupe a préféré s'appuyer sur ses modèles iconiques en les remettant au goût du jour, comme les Air Force 1 ou les Dunks, au détriment de la recherche et de l'innovation purement sportive. Or, le marché a changé. Les consommateurs se sont lassés des grandes marques de sport généralistes et se sont tournés vers de nouveaux acteurs proposant des produits plus spécialisés. Surtout, Nike a voulu privilégier la vente directe sur son propre site internet et dans ses boutiques officielles. L'objectif était de mieux contrôler sa relation avec les consommateurs et de vendre directement ses produits. Mais en réduisant ses relations avec bon nombre de distributeurs indépendants, la marque a aussi libéré un espace considérable dans les rayons des magasins multimarques. Et cette place a été récupérée par les concurrents. On, Hoka, Salomon : les nouveaux concurrents de Nike De nouvelles marques ont ainsi pu s'installer dans les rayons, comme la marque suisse On, mais aussi Hoka, Salomon ou Asics. Ces entreprises ont attaqué Nike sur des marchés précis : le running, la randonnée, le trail ou encore le tennis, alors que Nike proposait une immense gamme destinée à tout le monde. Les nouveaux acteurs, eux, sont arrivés avec des produits très spécialisés, très reconnaissables et une identité forte sur chaque sport. Pendant longtemps, Nike avait pourtant les têtes d'affiche et les légendes nécessaires pour asseoir la puissance de sa marque. Porter une Nike, c'était aussi acheter une image. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Cristiano Ronaldo ou encore Kylian Mbappé ont contribué à faire de la marque un phénomène culturel. Pendant des décennies, le groupe disposait ainsi de trois avantages en même temps : de très bons produits, les meilleurs athlètes et une puissance culturelle exceptionnelle. Le dossier souligne que cette domination, longtemps partagée essentiellement avec Adidas et Puma, est aujourd'hui remise en cause par de nouveaux acteurs. Et les clients, eux, ont été sensibles aux arguments de ces nouvelles marques. La Chine est une parfaite illustration de cette perte de puissance. Pendant des années, le pays a constitué l'un des grands moteurs de croissance de Nike, derrière les États-Unis. Mais les ventes y ont reculé de 30% depuis 2021, tombant à leur niveau le plus bas depuis huit ans. Nike doit en outre affronter des marques chinoises comme Anta et Li-Ning, qui bénéficient d'une meilleure connaissance du marché local. Nike tente de retrouver la recette de son succès À cela s'ajoute un autre problème : Nike fabrique l'essentiel de ses produits en Asie, notamment au Vietnam, en Chine, en Indonésie ou au Cambodge. Ces pays sont confrontés à des droits de douane américains sur les importations. Ces surtaxes ont pesé sur les coûts et les marges de l'entreprise. Alors relativisons tout de même, Nike reste un géant mondial. L'entreprise emploie près de 78 000 personnes et conserve une puissance considérable. Et une partie de sa stratégie est justement en train d'être corrigée. Depuis l'arrivée d'Elliott Hill à la direction de Nike fin 2024, le groupe cherche notamment à renouer avec les distributeurs et à remettre les produits sportifs au cœur de sa stratégie. Le plan de redressement baptisé « Win Now » vise notamment la course à pied et le basketball, avec l'objectif de relancer les ventes et de stabiliser les parts de marché. Le défi est donc considérable : Nike doit retrouver de l'innovation, reconquérir des consommateurs et surtout recréer cette puissance culturelle qui lui permettait autrefois d'imposer les tendances. Car le véritable problème de Nike n'est peut-être finalement pas seulement de vendre moins de chaussures. C'est d'avoir perdu une partie de cette capacité à faire rêver. La fameuse virgule n'est donc pas près de disparaître. Mais le géant américain doit désormais tout faire pour qu'elle ne se transforme pas en point final.

Grant and John Browner break down a wild Monday night: the Rams beat the Giants 28-6, and Aaron Donald played 58% of the snaps in his first game in years, drawing seven double teams and never once getting pushed around. John's comparison is Michael Jordan's baseball-to-basketball return — except Donald looked nothing like a shell of himself. But the story of the night is Jaxson Dart's knee injury, caught on a live mic as a Giants trainer told John Harbaugh "four to six weeks." John explains why that changes everything for New York — Jameis Winston looked like one of the most unprepared backup quarterbacks either of them has ever seen, and the run-heavy identity the Giants built around Dart simply doesn't exist with him at quarterback. The good news: their upcoming schedule is soft enough to survive it. Then Tim Parker returns for the Chiefs-Colts recap — Kansas City looks like the clear class of the AFC West again, Kenneth Walker has 369 scrimmage yards through two games, and John's Terrell Davis/John Elway comparison explains exactly why Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes look dangerous again. It closes with Mykell Mathieu and E Lamb joining live from SoFi — congratulations to E Lamb on a recent journalism award — breaking down Davante Adams' vintage game on offense and the defensive line's return to form.

George Wright III opens the Monday Daily Mastermind episode by highlighting persistence as a key prosperity principle and “difference maker,” tied to his third prosperity pillar: “I act in spite of my mood.” Citing Napoleon Hill and Calvin Coolidge, he argues that lack of persistence prevents people from achieving goals and that persistence is a cultivatable state of mind. He outlines ways to build it: definiteness of purpose, strong desire, self-reliance, definite plans and scheduling, applied knowledge, a cooperative mastermind group, using willpower strategically, and preparation through daily rituals and habits. He frames persistence as a decision—“it's not over until you win”—and shares examples of repeated rejection and failure from NASA, Tim Ferriss, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Einstein, Edison, Dr. Seuss, Jack London, van Gogh, Michael Jordan, and J.K. Rowling.00:00 Monday Prosperity Focus01:29 Pillar Three Act Anyway02:56 Why Persistence Wins04:55 Persistence Is Trainable05:52 How To Build Persistence09:00 Decide Despite Your Mood09:51 Famous Persistence StoriesThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Artificial intelligence has become one of the defining technologies of our time. But what if the way we're thinking about AI – starting with the very idea of "intelligence" – is too narrow? Welcome to Resoundingly Human: The INFORMS Podcast about how operations research, analytics, data science, and AI are helping us better understand – and improve – the world around us. Today's guest has spent decades helping shape our understanding of machine learning and its connections to statistics, computation, cognition and decision-making. Michael Jordan is a researcher at Inria Paris and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley and will be joining us in San Francisco as the opening plenary speaker at the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting, where he'll present "A Collectivist, Economic Perspective on AI."

Team USA won another FIBA Women's World Cup, but Ric Bucher believes the tournament exposed a decision USA Basketball won't be able to avoid much longer: Is it time to stop worrying about hierarchy and start giving Caitlin Clark a bigger role?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric breaks down what Clark demonstrated while surrounded by elite talent — scoring when necessary, pushing tempo, creating shots for teammates and adapting her game to whatever Team USA needed. He also examines what the tournament revealed about Paige Bueckers, why Angel Reese and Clark may be far more compatible as teammates than their rivalry suggests, and why the shrinking gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world could soon make reputation-based rotation decisions costly.Then Ric uses a revelation about LeBron James' role in assembling the 2024 Olympic team to explain why the Michael Jordan-vs.-LeBron GOAT debate will never be resolved: their supporters aren't simply arguing over players — they're measuring greatness by fundamentally different standards.Ric also revisits the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard fallout, what some predictions about the Toronto trade misunderstood about the NBA's unwritten rules, and Pablo Torre's face-to-face question to Adam Silver about how the league vets its owners.Finally, Ric shares what he's hearing about NBA Europe, why its launch is struggling, EuroLeague's resistance to surrendering control, and one potential NBA strategy: lure several marquee EuroLeague clubs into a rival competition and let the league's financial muscle do the rest.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:28 – What's ahead: Team USA, Adam Silver and NBA Europe02:16 – Team USA's World Cup title draws record attention03:14 – Why playing the final during NFL Sunday wasn't Team USA's fault04:15 – What national-team basketball reveals about star hierarchy04:25 – Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark: what their roles revealed04:55 – What makes Clark more than a scorer05:32 – Clark adapts her game to Team USA's stars06:28 – Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese: rivals who actually fit together07:15 – What Reese gives Team USA — and what remains missing offensively07:48 – Could Clark and Reese's Team USA experience change their rivalry?08:55 – The international threat to American women's basketball09:30 – Italy nearly punctures Team USA's aura of invincibility10:29 – Why roster politics could eventually cost the U.S.10:44 – Kara Lawson's veteran starting lineup11:19 – Why Team USA looked different with Clark running the offense11:44 – Is USA Basketball underusing Caitlin Clark?12:14 – How Clark changed her game to fit Team USA13:07 – What LeBron James reportedly did to assemble the 2024 Olympic team13:50 – The fundamental difference between Jordan and LeBron15:21 – LeBron's approach: get as much help as possible16:03 – Why Jordan and LeBron supporters will never agree16:48 – “Jordan's dominance was visceral.

In this solo episode, Karl Bryan covers practical strategies and mindset shifts for business coaches looking to deepen client results, scale their practices, and increase personal well-being. With Road Dog temporarily away, Karl dives deeply into money mindset, the power of presence, habits for success, and how to help both clients and coaches break people-pleasing cycles—all delivered with actionable steps and real-world examples. Key Topics Covered Healthy Habits for Longevity and High Performance Karl shares his personal experience with injury recovery and how investing in tools like a massage gun has dramatically improved his well-being and productivity. He discusses the importance of self-care, stretching, walking, and active recovery for both coaches and their clients. Understanding Debt and Inflation Like the Pros Breaking down Robert Kiyosaki's much-publicized debt, Karl offers a balanced view on leveraging debt, asset ownership, and how inflation and the devaluation of money can work in your favor. Real-world examples and analogies (think pro athlete contracts) make this a must-listen for money-savvy coaches. The Power of Focus and the Reticular Activating System Drawing from neuroscience and Tony Robbins, Karl explains how what you focus on literally shapes your reality and success. He illustrates how business owners can prime their minds to spot opportunities vs. problems and develop a powerful, optimistic self-concept. Coaching People-Pleasers: Addressing the Real Blocks Karl explores the roots and real-life challenges of people-pleasing, detailing why over-givers struggle to close sales and how helping clients sit with tension and embrace disappointment is key to growth and high achievement. Habits and Routines That Actually Move the Needle From delayed gratification to radical personal responsibility and the power of massive action, Karl lays out the non-negotiable mindsets and habits top performers embody. He shares practical frameworks (like "time to think" and daily presence drills) to help coaches—and their clients—accomplish more. How to Guarantee Entrepreneurial Success in 30 Seconds Karl's "Time To Think" (TTT) framework is highlighted as a near-guaranteed route to clearer decisions, better outcomes, and rapid business breakthroughs by carving out daily, intense, distraction-free thinking time. Presence as a Superpower Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, and Michael Jordan are given as models for practicing supreme presence—the ability to make someone feel like the most important person in the room—and how this habit can radically transform business relationships. Notable Quotes "The solution to inflation is two words: own assets." "Focus on problems, you'll find more. Focus on opportunities, guess what? More will pop up." "People pleasers are terrible closers because they hate to let people sit with tension." "You are your emotional comfort zone… like the temperature in a room, you come back to it." "Presence is a superpower. When you talk to someone, look into their eyes and soul—make them feel like the only person in the room." "Delayed gratification—long-term gain over short-term pleasure—is the frame for all personal development." "Massive action is your cure-all." "Stop living life like you get a second chance at it." Actionable Takeaways • Encourage Asset Ownership. Advise clients to acquire assets (real estate, business, investments) as a long-term hedge against inflation and money devaluation. • Guide Focus with RAS Principles. Use the reticular activating system concept: continually guide clients to focus on solutions and opportunities, not just problems. • Coach Away People-Pleasing. Help clients lean into tension, embrace necessary disappointment, and have vital conversations—even if uncomfortable. • Build Personal Presence. Practice being fully present in every interaction—eye contact, attention, "seeing" the person in front of you. Model leaders like Tony Robbins and Michael Jordan. • Instill Delay of Gratification. Reinforce daily habits that trade near-term comfort for long-term success (e.g., exercise, healthy eating, focused work blocks). • Create "Time to Think" Rituals. Block out one hour with pen and paper—no phone, no interruptions—to work through the single biggest question or challenge facing you or your business. • Measure Relentlessly. Adopt "time to measure" (TTM) and regularly review results, key metrics, and starting/finishing lines to stay accountable and on track. • Take Calculated Risks. Launch projects, do "free trials" for ideal clients, start a podcast, or chase JVs. Asymmetrical risk/reward fuels breakthroughs. • Own Your Results. Take 100% responsibility—no blame, no excuses. The best only play the hand they're dealt—and win with it.

Greatness doesn't come with a tidy checklist.

Then Steven Kotler offers a complementary playbook in The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer, showing how motivation, learning, creativity, and flow can turn seemingly unreachable goals into repeatable progress.

Nike pasó de vender championes japoneses desde el baúl de un auto a convertirse en una de las marcas más reconocidas del mundo. En el camino aparecieron una waflera, un logo de 35 dólares, Michael Jordan, “Just Do It” y una obsesión constante por hacer mejores productos. Pero hoy la historia es distinta: la acción cayó fuerte, aparecieron nuevos competidores, su apuesta por vender directo al consumidor no funcionó como esperaba y algunas de sus franquicias históricas empezaron a perder fuerza. En este episodio repasamos cómo Nike construyó su imperio, qué empezó a salir mal y por qué su mayor desafío quizá sea volver a hacer lo que la llevó hasta ahí: dejar de apoyarse tanto en lo que ya funcionó y volver a construir lo que viene. Nike: cuando vivir del éxito deja de alcanzar

A principios/mediados de la década de 1980, Converse tenía a los grandes del baloncesto de la época: Magic Johnson y Larry Bird. Pero en 1984 entra en escena un jovencísimo jugador afroamericano que cambiaría la historia del deporte y de las zapatillas de deporte: Michael Jordan. Nike construyó su imperio en torno a una estrella y eso cambió la percepción de la gente respecto a las zapatillas de deporte. Converse se mantenía fiel al diseño original y el mundo del grunge y del rock acogió de buen grado ese aire retro pero.. ¿Será suficiente?

What actually drives the world's most celebrated achievers? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy pulls back the curtain on something most success stories leave out entirely: the motivation behind the achievement is rarely the polished, altruistic story you hear in interviews. He walks through the private pain behind household names like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and Michael Jordan, then gets personal about his own childhood and the exact moment that shaped his relentless drive to achieve. This isn't a sad story, though; Darren reframes adversity as something closer to a muscle than a wound, and makes the case that whatever dysfunction shaped you might already be your biggest advantage. This is the first in a five-part series you won't want to miss. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day. Go to DarrenDaily at http://darrendaily.com/join to learn more.

Breece Hall is healthy enough to play, but will the Jets finally unleash him? Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash react to Frank Reich's comments about Hall's workload and reveal the stunningly small number of games in which Hall has reached 20 carries.

Plus, a caller shares a remarkable September 11 story involving the Giants, and the show looks back at the New York sports headlines from the morning of the attacks, including Michael Jordan's looming return.

Steph Curry has earned virtually unlimited goodwill in Golden State. But is that goodwill about to face its toughest test?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher challenges the annual fantasy that Curry and the Warriors have one more championship run left in them. Golden State is coming off a 37-win season, made no transformative offseason addition and is relying on a 38-year-old superstar whose workload already has to be carefully managed. Yet Curry could remain among the NBA's highest-paid players for years to come.Ric explains why Curry deserves every dollar after transforming the Warriors and the NBA—but also why his salary, age and diminished supporting cast create a late-career situation unlike the ones faced by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan. Can Warriors fans simply enjoy Curry's remaining magic without expecting another championship? And if the losses pile up, will they?Ric also looks beyond the NBA storylines the national networks are likely to push, explaining why Oklahoma City and San Antonio are more compelling than LeBron James' first week in Philadelphia, why the Western Conference may be more top-heavy than wide open, and why the Eastern Conference could become the NBA's real battleground after a massive migration and consolidation of star talent.Plus: why last season's panic over tanking was overblown, and Ric closes with a personal remembrance of his former ESPN colleague Barry Melrose and the lesson he took from not reaching out before it was too late.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:16 – The NBA storylines Ric believes actually matter01:40 – Why the LeBron-in-Philadelphia hype misses the point02:55 – OKC and San Antonio: the matchup Ric really wants to see03:40 – The annual Steph Curry “one more ring” fantasy04:25 – Why the Warriors no longer look like contenders05:03 – Curry's next contract and the coming test of Warriors fans05:21 – Ric addresses his history with Golden State06:15 – How team relationships influence sports media coverage07:38 – Why access has become king in sports television07:43 – Ric's real feelings about Steph Curry and the Warriors09:02 – Why the end of the Warriors dynasty fascinates Ric09:30 – What makes Curry different from past NBA icons10:25 – Bird, Magic and Jordan: how legends exited the NBA12:11 – Why Curry's late-career situation is different13:05 – The reality of Golden State's chances in the West14:09 – Does Curry deserve to remain one of the NBA's highest paid?15:16 – Why Curry's salary could eventually create backlash16:07 – The limits of Steph's late-career magic17:03 – The dilemma: Golden State needs more Curry but must play him less17:28 – Enjoy the Steph Curry show—without expecting another trophy18:06 – Why the Eastern Conference could deliver the NBA's best drama18:59 – How deep could the East really be?19:24 – Why the NBA's tanking panic was overblown20:15 – Remembering Barry Melrose21:34 – Ric's regret—and the lesson Barry's death left behind22:41 – Final thoughts and sign-off#NBA #StephenCurry #StephCurry #Warriors #GoldenStateWarriors #LeBronJames #76ers #Thunder #Spurs #EasternConference #BarryMelrose #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.
