Ducks roll out fitting tribute to Phil Knight
When it comes to recognizable icons, few rival Nike's Swoosh, designed by student designer Carolyn Davidson for $35. We unpack her quiet career, late recognition, and lasting influence with guest Sarah Williams, Co-CEO of Beardwood & Co. and President of AIGA NY._______Support this podcast with a small donation: Buy Me A CoffeeThis show is powered by branding and design studio Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasay_______About Carolyn Davidson:We're pulling back the curtain on one of design's most enduring marks: the Nike Swoosh. In 1971, Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson sketched a fluid, wing-like “stripe” directly over a shoe drawing—a fast, simple symbol that Phil Knight didn't love at first but chose under production pressure. She invoiced $35, kept freelancing for the scrappy company as it rebranded from Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike, and later stepped away from the spotlight. Years afterward, Nike surprised her with a gold Swoosh ring and stock—an act of overdue recognition that grew to life-changing value. We trace Davidson's process, her broader early contributions beyond the logo, and how the Swoosh eventually stood alone without the wordmark. About Sarah Williams:Sarah Williams is Co-CEO of Beardwood & Co. and President of AIGA New York. She joined Beardwood early (2006) after starting at Landor and rose to co-owner, leading brand programs for companies like Danone and Colgate while advancing mentorship and access across the NYC design community.Follow Sarah:Instagram: @_sarah_aw_Beardwood & Co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beardwoodco/https://beardwood.com/ ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Puck opens up Tuesday with praise for Luis Castillo in the opener against the Chicago White Sox. Puck also talks about the 3-for-4 night from Ben Williamson. Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio drops by to chat with Puck about the play of the Mariners and discusses being able to evaluate today's players with your eyes and not just rely on statistics. Jim praises the play of Andres Munoz and calls him one of the most underrated players in the game. How did Juan Soto's return to Yankee Stadium go? Jim had a front row seat as he works for the New York Mets broadcast team. Jim also notes what a great weekend it was for baseball with the “rivalry weekend” and a number of division races have great rivalries associated wit them and it has a chance to be great summer for baseball. Puck and Jim wrap up discusses Pete Rose and whether or not he'll get into the Hall of Fame and what is wrong with the L.A. Dodgers and their development of starting pitchers. John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, chats with Puck about whether or not he feels Pete Rose should get in. John is a voter for the Hall of Fame. Mediation is underway between the Pac-12 and the Mountain West. How long will it last and what does it mean for UNLV in terms of joining the conference? John discusses that the conference needs expansion to be resolved by July 1, 2025. The White House is exploring setting up a commission to address college football. Does John think that's a good idea? Puck and John discuss a follow up story that John did on a very impressive 17 year old umpire from Oregon. It's a must listen. John finishes with that he doesn't think Blazer fans should close the door on Phil Knight buying the team. Puck then plays an edited version of this weeks Sports Pit with Steve Sandmeyer and Matt “Stretch” Johnson. Puck, Sandy and Stretch talk about their favorite batting stance as kids and that led Sandy to tell a great all-time classic story about his time as a clubhouse attendant at the Kingdome and an encounter with George Brett. They also laughed as Sandy talked about Reggie Jackson and what a jerk he was to his buddy who was also a “clubby” at the same time as Sandy.

Akio Morita was a visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Sony. Born as the first son and fifteenth-generation heir to a 300-year-old sake-brewing family in Japan, Akio eschewed the traditional path to forge his own legacy in electronics.In post-war Japan, Akio joined forces with Masaru Ibuka to found Sony. They started in a burned-out department store with limited resources—to build their first product they had to buy supplies on the black market. Akio was determined to change the global perception of Japanese goods as poor quality. From day one he set out to build high-quality, differentiated products, targeted at affluent markets. Akio believed in long-term vision over short-term profits, product innovation without market research, and brand building over immediate profits. Against all opposition, including inside of his own company, Akio invented one of the most successful consumer products of all time: The Walkman. It sold over 400 million units and inspired countless other entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, James Dyson, and Phil Knight. This episode is what I learned from rereading Akio's classic 1986 autobiography Made In Japan. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

Oliver was mentioned to me by a friend from the Passive Income Engines community I run, and I am so glad he was.

You can find all his books at https://amzn.to/3XxIIOn He also writes an amazing daily email newsletter. Grab that and check out Oliver's stuff at https://freemanpublications.com/ What an amazing origin story he has! You gotta listen in or check out his books to hear it though.

Todd Graves is one of my favorite living entrepreneurs. He's a great example of Charlie Munger's maxim: Find a simple idea and take it seriously. Todd wanted to create a quick service restaurant that only focused on quality chicken finger meals and nothing else. Everyone told him that couldn't possibly work. The college paper that described the idea that would turn into Raising Canes got the lowest grade in the class. Banks wouldn't loan him any money —but nothing could stop Todd from living out his "chicken finger dream." He worked 95 hour weeks as a boilermaker, risked his life on a commercial fishing boat off the coast of Alaska, and scrounged up startup money from his bookie and a guy named Wild Bill. Todd made every mistake in the book, over leveraged himself, almost lost everything and yet he refused to give up or sell out. Today he has over 800 locations, 50,000 employees, and owns 90% of a business that's worth at least $10 billion. Todd's maxim is "Do one thing and do it better than anyone else."
