Mike Becker is the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA National). He has over 15 years of experience in the insurance industry. His deep insight into industry trends have helped him create strategies that increase revenue for the organization and its affiliates, and for its members. He has a special expertise in streamlining business operations and leading growth initiatives.Mike is native to Washington, D.C., a local guy, and there are not too many of them. Mike went to George Mason University where he obtained a BA degree in Government & International Politics. He has worked in politics and even spent some time working at Capitol Hill in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has experience in the pharmaceutical industry where he worked on government relations and policies. Like many of us, he kinda tripped and fell into the insurance industry, and we are so very happy it happened. He has been working at PIA National for fifteen and a half years and has been very successful in his work with the organization. Some of his key accomplishments in PIA include: — Restructured Error & Omissions staff and eliminated inefficiencies, enabling staff to focus on sales. Changes resulted in an additional $400K in sales in 2 years.— With a strategic partner, launched a market access program with 50 national and specialty carriers, resulting in an average of 5–10 agency sign-ons per week and increased revenue.— Utilized networking skills to identify an additional potential buyer for an office building, negotiating a final selling price of $500K more than earlier bids. With proceeds from sale, eliminated debts, purchased a state-of-the-art building, and invested millions.What keeps Mike motivated and has kept him in the insurance industry is the people. That's right! We definitely agree with Mike. The insurance industry has amazing and inspiring people all over the world. This industry has outstanding professionals and human beings who make us feel fortunate to be part of it all. That's why we know insurance can be FUN and a great industry to work in. FUN facts: He has a real love for aviation. When he was in High School he worked out his pilot's license before his driver's license. At one point his parents would drive him to the airport to fly planes before he could even drive their car. He is still a pilot! He also likes history. After a quick lesson about the history of the Manhattan cocktail we are reminded again that history is FUN. Also, Mike and the President of PIA of Puerto Rico & the Caribbean, Carlos Felipe Silén, both attended the George Mason University which is a pretty cool coincidence that they discovered when they met in a meeting in Puerto Rico.

At age 16, Mike Becker started shaping boards in his parents' backyard on Long Island. In 1993 he started Nature Shapes. By 1996 he had a website and was distributing boards up and down the East Coast. Host Tyler Breuer has known Becker since the early 1990’s, when they used to compete together in the ESA competitions and surf the beaches of central Long Island together. Over the years, Becker has grown his surfboard business and has followed in the tradition of legendary New York shapers, John Hannon, Charlie Bunger, and Squeak Sanders. But Mike is more than a shaper. He’s a middle school technology-education teacher, surf shop owner, and inventor. Tyler had an opportunity to sit down with Mike while dropping off a surfboard blank to be glassed at the Nature Shapes factory. The two discussed local surf history, new ways to build boards and how he balances a career and family while running multiple businesses. What follows is pure gold with Mike Becker. Swell Season is recorded by the NewsStand studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by WAX.Radio
Funko Inc. founder Mike Becker joins us for a discussion about building this massive company, selling it, and everything that went along with that journey.

Since inception, Funko has created approximately 20,000 different products in dozens of different toy lines. Maybe most recognizable, is Funko Pop!.... a line of Japanese shiba-style figurines, depicted under licenses from Disney,Star Wars, DC comics, and major sporting franchises…just to name a few. In 2005 Mike sold the company to his good friend Brian Mariotti, and we spend a good amount of time in this podcast talking about the events leading up to the sale, and beyond. We hope you enjoy!

Topic: Nerdy Collectables Nerds LOVE, I do mean, LOVE their collectables. We love collecting stuff, and who doesn’t? Everyone has a collection, but nerds have collections that seem to always seem odd and befuddling to most. So here’s some follow up ideas for what you can give your favorite nerd this Christmas. Funko Pop Started in 1998, the brand was founded because its creator, Mike Becker, wanted a Big Boy Restaurant Mascot coin bank, but couldn’t find one that was affordable. He created his own company and licensed the brand to make it. This eventually led to them making Bobblehead of the Big Boy Mascot, which in turn eventually grew to other smaller brands. In 2005, Becker sold the company to Brian Mariotti, who began aggressively licensing the bobblehead concept to other companies. By 2011, the Pop! Vinyl line of figures came in to existence, which is what the company is most known for. The Pop! Vinyl is the company’s best selling product and most often thought of when thinking of Funko. The style was intended to mimic the Japanese Chibi (Deformed Cuteness) art style and characterization, often seen Nendoroids(Chibi anime action figures). Pop! Vinyls typically take on licensed works, usually movie, tv, comic, fantasy, and literary characters from a wide range of media brands, alongside real people like World Leaders, Wrestlers, and other celebrities. It’s popular to not open the Pop! Vinyls, as they work well as display pieces within their original boxes. Much like Vintage Action Figures, they can also lose some of their value if taken out of the box as well, assuming they’re resold. There are some people however, who do not like Pop! Vinyl. A majority of the criticism, or dislike, comes from the notion of: They look disturbing (White eyes) True / professional collectors don’t want cartoony collectables Too Mainstream Cheaply Made Mass Produced Not a True collection item Haters going to hate; OR Some people just hate what brings other people joy. http://popvinyls.com/ Statues Action Figures Two types of action figures types: Vintage Premium Vintage Action Figures are essentially Old Toys, kept in either Pristine or Good condition over the many years. Their value differs from brand to brand, but typically follows the following format: Rarity In Box and/or all original items Condition A toy originally played may do well on the open market if played with sparingly or taken care of over the years, but if it has the box and all original items, it will tend to see for much more. Most people who by Vintage toys are often getting them for collection sake or re-buying their youth, ie buying something because they had it as child once or because they never had it as a child. https://www.ebay.com/b/Vintage-Action-Figure-Lot/246/bn_7023219109 Premium Action Figures are just as they might sound; they tend to be made primarily for collectors and intended for an older demographic and market. Unlike traditional Action Figures, these are meant to be taken out of the box and set up as a display. They also tend to be taller than most Action Figures, ranging from 9inch to 15inch. Their value may differ from brand to brand, but typically follow the format of: Rarity Detail / Complexity Pose-ability / Articulation These toys are typically never intended to be played with, but rather, intended to be set up in a pose and marveled at for the remainder of their ownership. Depending on the figure, they can range in to the $100s of dollars based. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ XXRAY Jason Freeny, an American Pop Surrealist Artist, popularized the notion of a Cutaway toy/cartoon character sculpture that shows one half of a individual and an anatomical inside, similar to a x-ray. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/146648531591273567/ https://mightyjaxx.rocks/collections/xxray Nendoriod Created by the Good Smile Company in 2006, Nendoriods are typically 3-4 inch toy action figures of your favorite anime / video game characters from Japan. What makes them unique is their Chibi look, high possibility, and various accessories including various faces, weapons, outfits, and props from their shows. Because of a universal design of the Nendoriods, you can even swap heads, faces, and other element between various Nendoriods to get new looks and crossovers. Most Nendoriods are single print runs of the figure, so only a limited amount are available, and pre-orders are available; but that’s not to say they always sell out. The more popular the character, the harder it might be to find a Nendoroid, but they are around. They typically set you back about $40-$60, depending on complexity and/or what kind of accessories are included. https://www.goodsmile.info/en/products/category/nendoroid_series/announced/2020 Plushies Tsum Tsums A collectable Disney Plush series that are known for Disney characters shaped like logs. The name comes from Japanese word tsumu, which means ‘to stack’. The Plushies are well known for Disney character, including Star Wars and Marvel, though other imitators exist. They come in a variety of sizes, which include: Micro – 2 inches Mini – 3.5 inches Small – 7.5 Inches Medium – 11 inches Large – 17 inches Mega – 21.5 Inches Most, if not all, Disney characters have been made in to TsumTsums. A popular mobile game allows you to collect the Tsum Tsums as additional character so the same, originally popularized in Japan as well: LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum. Nesoberi A primarily Japanese style of Plush, these pluses are similar to Tsum Tsum in the sense that the character is often found laying on their stomach, but are characterized by their oversized heads and chibi looks. They tend to have large heads and tiny bodies. While they aren’t meant to be stacked like Tsum Tsums, they can be. While there is no Official name for this series of toys, Nesoberi is a brand of Sega Prizes that can be won via Crane Games. They typically a head about 8-10 inches round, with a small body roughly a foot long. Movie Prop Replicas Perhaps not just movies, but people love to have replicates of the original items in movies, tv shows, or books. Typically, original Movie Props rarely ever come on to the market outside of auctions or rare giveaways, and most auctions tend to be in the thousands of dollars. The next best option are replicas, which instead of the $1000s, instead run in the $100 range instead. Prop replicas can range from prop weapons / items, wardrobe / costumes, patches, parts, and more. A good place to go is Etsy to find prop replicas that you may have not known existed outside of the main/licensed brands. Most popular Movie replica, light saber from Star Wars. https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s/prop-replicas/p https://propstore.com/products/ Accessories Women’s Fashion Hand Bags Pillows Art work

Today on the No sitting on the sideline Dad Podcast. My guest Mike Becker and Kori Reed authors of the book ZagZig Parenting. I love what they say on the front cover right below the title " (Mis) Adventure of Career Driven Mom and a Stay-at-Home Dad" that some up their adventures of being parents. The book is broken up into stories about their journey as parents, career driven mom and stay at home dad. There were a lot of stories that very funny and relatable. They were fun people to interview and I learned a lot from them.

Married for 23 years, with 4 children, Kori Reed and Mike Becker are on a mission to “Reimagine family stereotypes so that all modern families can thrive.” They are so committed to this mission that they wrote a book about it - Zag Zig Parenting: (Mis)Adventures of a Career-Driven Mom and a Stay-at-Home Dad ZagZig Parenting invites you to explore a married couple’s contemporary perspective on parenting through comical vignettes that share their differences, struggles and mistakes. Written by Kori, a career-driven mom of four children, with commentary from Mike, a twenty-year, at-home dad, this book shows work-life integration from a different lens, and creates a positive environment to reimagine the family framework. These vulnerable stories about life as a non-traditional family aim to paint a picture of everyday chaos provide comic relief and permit parents to thrive as they embrace their perceived shortcomings in the context of work-family flow. Parenting issues don’t discriminate. Listen in to hear Kori and Mike share: How Mike and Kori both started defying traditional gender roles at the age of 16 How parents with two very different personality types can successfully find their parenting groove What family management looks like for a stay-at-home dad and career driven mom The power and purpose of therapy How a Kori learned to juggle being a present parent and career focused mom What Mike loved about staying home with 4 kids over the course of 20 years Mike’s biggest parenting secret when it comes to minimizing overwhelm and chaos Links Mentioned: Find Kori and Mike here: www.ZagZigParenting.com But the book here: Zag Zig Parenting on Amazon Sponsor: Aaptiv.com (use code SMA30 for a free 30 day trial)
