Podcast appearances and mentions of Phil Knight

The guys continue to break down the fallout from the Brendan Sorsby controversy, debating whether the Texas Tech quarterback will actually see the field this season despite the mounting backlash. Joe argues that gambling on your own team crosses a line that cannot be ignored, while also acknowledging Sorsby's talent and discussing whether a major program like the Miami Hurricanes would ever consider taking a chance on a player with that kind of baggage. The conversation expands into the changing landscape of college football, where NIL money and powerful donors can dramatically reshape programs overnight. From Mark Cuban's support of Indiana Hoosiers football to Phil Knight's influence at Oregon Ducks football, the guys discuss how college football has entered a completely new era where financial backing can quickly change the balance of power.

Jim Highsmith has been thinking about decision-making for a long time. When he wrote Agile Project Management in 2004, he went looking for practical guidance on decision-making in the project management literature and found very little. That gap matters even more now.In this episode, Jim and I talk about why AI raises the stakes for executive judgment. AI can remove friction, speed up work, and take on repeatable tasks, but it can also make it easier for leaders to stop practicing the very capabilities they are paid to use. Jim brings this to life through John Boyd's OODA loop, the risk of judgment atrophy, mountaineering decisions, Rob Hall's Everest threshold, Phil Knight's pattern recognition at Nike, and a personal story from Jim's own time leading a collaborative project team at Nike.This conversation is really about how leaders build judgment deliberately: by making consequence-bearing decisions, setting thresholds before pressure arrives, creating space for slow thinking, and reflecting honestly on how decisions were made.Key TakeawaysAI can weaken judgment when leaders stop practicing it: Jim compares the risk to driving an autonomous car: the more the system takes over, the less sharp the driver becomes. AI can remove low-value effort, but leaders still need to practice making consequence-bearing decisions.The OODA loop is mostly about orientation: Jim explains that John Boyd's edge was not just speed, but his ability to update his mental model quickly. For leaders, the real work is noticing when old assumptions no longer fit the situation.Capability is knowledge plus experience plus judgment: AI can make knowledge easier to access, but it cannot replace the experience of carrying consequences. Judgment develops when people make real decisions, reflect on the outcome, and adjust how they think.Thresholds only work when enforced under pressure: Jim uses Rob Hall's Everest story to show why decision thresholds matter before emotion, ambition, or sunk cost take over. In business, those thresholds might be cost, risk, customer impact, or reversibility.Leaders need to separate fast decisions from slow judgment: Some repeatable, data-heavy decisions can be automated with guardrails. Higher-context decisions still need human orientation, pattern matching, and time to think.Reflection turns experience into better pattern matching: Barry shares his practice of documenting decisions, what was known at the time, and why the call was made. That kind of review helps leaders improve the decision process, not just judge the outcome.Additional InsightsRole modeling beats mandates: Jim describes how Boyd taught by showing the mechanics of his performance. Barry connects this to AI adoption: leaders create more movement by sharing how they are using the tools in real work.Productivity fatigue is a real AI-era risk: Barry reflects on how AI can increase output while shrinking the space to think. That matters because senior leadership work often depends on judgment, not just throughput.AI transformation is still a people problem: Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem.” Tools help, but organizations still need to redesign the work, behaviors, and decisions around them.Pattern matching is different from gut feel: Jim uses Phil Knight's Nike decisions to show how instinct can come from years of context. What looks intuitive on the surface is often pattern recognition built through experience.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap – Jim Highsmith frames the core tension of the episode: AI can accelerate work, but it can also expose whether leaders have a real decision-making system or are quietly handing judgment to the machine.01:45 – Guest Introduction – Barry introduces Jim Highsmith, a pioneer of adaptive leadership and original Agile Manifesto signatory whose work has shaped how organizations navigate uncertainty and make high-stakes decisions. (Jim Highsmith)04:27 – Decision-Making Was Missing from the Playbook – Jim explains that when he wrote his first Agile Project Management book in 2004, he found surprisingly little practical guidance on decision-making in standard project management sources.05:47 – The Real Power of the OODA Loop – Jim revisits John Boyd's observe, orient, decide, act model and argues that orientation, the ability to update mental models under pressure, is the part leaders often underdevelop.07:19 – From Process-Centric to Judgment-Centric Management – Jim makes the case that if AI takes over more process improvement work, organizations need decision-making capacity distributed through the system, not concentrated at the top.09:14 – The Judgment Muscle Can Atrophy – Barry and Jim use the autonomous car example to show how useful automation can quietly weaken a capability when people stop practicing it.12:33 – Role Modeling Beats Mandates – Jim explains how Boyd taught fighter pilots by showing the mechanics of superior performance, which Barry connects to leaders demonstrating their own AI experiments instead of simply telling others what to do.15:50 – Capability Is More Than Knowledge – Jim defines capability as knowledge plus experience plus judgment, pointing out that LLMs can provide knowledge but not the consequence-bearing experience that shapes better calls.18:56 – Thresholds Keep Decisions Honest – Jim shares the Rob Hall Everest story to show why thresholds only matter if leaders are willing to honor them when pressure, ambition, or sunk cost pushes the other way.20:58 – Automate the Right Decisions – Jim distinguishes fast, data-dependent System One decisions from slower System Two judgments, giving leaders a practical way to decide what to automate and what to protect.24:31 – From Search Engine to Human-Agent Teams – Jim describes his own progression from using AI as a search engine to working daily with multiple humans and agents, showing that the practice evolves through use.27:06 – Productivity Fatigue and Constant Execution – Barry reflects on how AI can create more throughput while leaving less space for slow thinking, especially for leaders whose real value is making judgment calls.31:05 – Relearning the People Problem – Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem,” and Barry connects that to companies buying AI tools without redesigning how people work.33:21 – Pattern Matching Is Not Gut Feel – Jim uses Phil Knight's early Nike decisions to explain why seasoned executives often seem intuitive because they have built patterns from industry knowledge, relationships, and lived context.36:09 – Decision Journaling Builds Better Judgment – Barry describes documenting decisions, the information available, and the rationale at the time as a way to learn from both strong and weak outcomes.37:22 – A Nike Lesson in Collaborative Judgment – Jim recalls a project decision at Nike where the team agreed with the outcome but challenged the process, giving him a lasting lesson about when people need to be part of the call.38:51 – Closing Reflections – Barry thanks Jim and points listeners toward his writing as these long-standing ideas about judgment, adaptability, and decision-making become even more relevant in the AI era.Useful ResourcesJim Highsmith's website – Jim's home base for his bio, books, articles, podcasts, and current work.

Watch this episode on YouTube! In this episode, Kirsten Flory dives into the incredible entrepreneurial journey behind Nike through the bestselling memoir Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. Most people see Nike as a global powerhouse, but few realize the company spent nearly 18 years fighting for survival before becoming a household name.  Kirsten unpacks the lessons small business owners can learn from Phil Knight's relentless perseverance, willingness to take risks, and ability to stay committed to a vision even while living on the edge of financial ruin. From selling track shoes out of the trunk of a car to building one of the most recognizable brands in the world, this episode explores: Why passion matters more than immediate success The importance of mentors and challengers in your life How surrounding yourself with the right people can shape your future Why niche focus can actually accelerate growth The risks and rewards of entrepreneurship What is means to "live on the float" while building a business How innovation and customer feedback drive long-term success Why questioning and challenging ideas inside your company is healthy The power of branding, partnerships, and culture Kirsten also reflects on how entrepreneurs often face skepticism from family, friends, and society while pursuing unconventional dreams - and why persistence is often the difference between failure and breakthrough success. If you've ever wondered whether your hard work is worth it, this episode is a reminder that some of the greatest success stories took years - sometimes decades, to become reality Key Takeaways: Nike was not an overnight success - it took 18 years to break through Staying focused on a niche can create momentum before expansion Entrepreneurs need people around them who challenge their thinking Innovation often comes from listening closely to customer feedback Passion and perseverance are critical during difficult seasons of business Building a strong culture matters just as much as building revenue Connect with Kirsten Flory at: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn  

Nike co-founder Phil Knight visited China nearly 50 years ago and dreamed of selling sneakers. He laid out an ambitious vision—“One billion people, two billion feet”— it was an ambitious strategy. By 2010, China was among Nike's most lucrative markets, offering a blueprint for U.S. companies seeking to cash in on China's rise. Today, Nike's China business is bleeding.

There are companies that sell shoes. And then there are companies that shape the way an entire generation experiences them. Eastbay was the latter... and most people have no idea how improbable the whole thing was.Art Juedes and Rick Gering started Eastbay out of a store in Wausau, Wisconsin. Two coaches with 16 years of combined college education, zero business courses between them, and a vision that shoe stores in this country were failing athletes. No one specialized. No one had inventory. No one knew what they were talking about when you called. So Art and Rick decided they would be the ones who did.What followed was one of the most consequential stories in sneaker history... one that most of us lived through without ever knowing the people behind it.In this episode of Outside The Box, Nick sits down with Art and Rick to talk about the moment Nike pulled 40% of their business overnight because Eastbay was too successful at mail order, how Shaquille O'Neal showing up to a Nike meeting in all Eastbay gear helped get them the exclusive back, the tent sales in Wausau where Air Jordans moved out of a parking lot and lines stretched for half a mile, Kevin Plank pitching Under Armour to them before Under Armour was anything, and why they invested $100,000 in a digital camera in 1989 so they could produce a catalog every three weeks while Phil Knight was asking how they did it so fast.Nick's personal connection to Eastbay runs deep... four siblings fighting over one catalog until his mom finally ordered a fifth. He built the original Eastbay Blog for Sole Collector. And this conversation is, as he puts it, probably one of the most important sneaker history conversations he's ever had on any show.Art and Rick's new book, The Book of Eastbay, is available now at BookofEastBay.com.

Justin Klahn is hard to put in a box. Twenty years inside Nike Innovation. Years embedded with JSOC units building gear that had to actually work. Time consulting with three-letter agencies, DARPA, and the Harvard Learning Innovations Laboratory. A run working directly for Kanye West. He calls himself a problem solver, and the resume backs it up. His new book is Innovator's Handbook. We open on the divorce conversation, the kind of failure neither of us wished for, and what it takes to show up for a partner the second time around. From there it gets wide. The competition mindset that separates the top of the JSOC food chain from everyone else. What it's actually like to sit in a room with Kobe, with Tinker, with Kanye. The Nike origin stories most people don't know — the real Jordan re-signing, the Pantry, the relationship between Phil Knight and Steve Jobs. We dig into the supernatural. Faith. Conspiracy and control. How a guy who advises high-stakes operators stays open enough to consider anything but grounded enough to still get the work done.  And we end on the AI workflow he used to write a book in two weeks — and what that says about where the world is going.  The Innovator's Handbook: https://a.co/d/01Zqj9Q7 Sign up for the Cleared Hot Newsletter Here: https://www.clearedhotpodcast.com/ Pick up your copy of Drownproof Here: https://www.clearedhotpodcast.com/book   Today's Sponsors: Montana Knife Company: https://www.montanaknifecompany.com LMNT: Head to https://www.drinklmnt.com/clearedhot to pick up your free sample pack

They don't know how to run a business. A buddy of mine who is a very successful entrepreneur gives this speech all the time when he does seminars, which is, you know, you're a car mechanic, you're the top car mechanic at the shop and you see the boss making all the money and you're like, well, screw him. I wanna open up my own car shop until you realize you have to understand HR, accounting, Promotion, sales, marketing, advertising. Like, that's what the boss did. Yeah, there's a couple things to it more than just turning it into all the risk. Yeah.

We are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie, Calls on Call Extraordinary Answering Service, The Bold Business Book, as well as LiveSwitch. And today we're welcoming/preparing to learn from Jake Eicham of Creative Minds. So Jake, we're talking marketing today, right? Jake Isham [00:01:10]: Yes, sir. James Kademan [00:01:11]: I am super excited because I don't— I've been in this marketing kick and I was talking actually with a— I'm going to call it a friend of mine who's in the marketing world way deeper than me. And it was interesting, the conversation that we had. So I'm excited to talk marketing more with you. It's just top of mind. So, and all businesses need it. So let's get started. First up, what is Creative Minds? Jake Isham [00:01:35]: We're a creative agency based in Los Angeles. We've done over a billion views online, driving millions in revenue for our clients. And we focus on helping build personal brands and really helping that entrepreneur scale their attention so that they, you know, because at the end of the day, attention drives revenue. James Kademan [00:01:56]: Interesting. Now you touched on something there and I want to dig into this a little bit because another conversation I had was the, it's kind of like chicken and egg thing or nature nurture. It was personal brand versus company brand. Which one do you push? So you as a marketer, if we were to ask you that question. Jake Isham [00:02:14]: It depends a little bit on the industry and the entrepreneur who I'm talking to, but you could say what's gonna beat out in my opinion is personal brand. James Kademan [00:02:25]: All right. Jake Isham [00:02:26]: Because at the end of the day, most entrepreneurs don't stick with one business, just majority, you know? James Kademan [00:02:36]: Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. Jake Isham [00:02:37]: They sell or they give up or they, or whatever, you know, life comes around. And personal brand, you know, I think one of the individuals who's done it the best regardless of politics is Elon Musk. You look at what he's been able to do as a marketer and as an entrepreneur, purely that, right? James Kademan [00:02:58]: Right. Jake Isham [00:02:58]: This isn't a politics show. James Kademan [00:03:00]: Right, right. Jake Isham [00:03:02]: Yeah, it reminds me of, uh, have such an ultimate personal brand to be able to do that. Another gentleman who came before him was Steve Jobs. He was the face of Apple. And to be honest, if we look at the era of Steve Jobs Apple versus Tim Cook Apple, it's not as good. James Kademan [00:03:23]: Not even close. Yeah. Jake Isham [00:03:24]: Not a force to be reckoned with, but because that was a personal brand also, even though it was a company brand. And, you know, and I'm gonna take, I'll go one step further on this, right? People will, you know, bring up the example of sports and Nike. All right, Phil Knight is not a personal brand. Yes, but what he did was really intelligent. He's not a top athlete, but he got the best athletes to be the personal brand of the brand Nike, right? He got MJ, he got Kobe, he got LeBron. Like, he got these top individuals to be the personal brand of Nike, right? James Kademan [00:04:02]: It makes sense. Makes sense. It reminds me of, uh, somebody was, uh, there's an article that I was reading, I'm sorry, that was talking about these tribes in way out in Africa, and they had heard of Michael Jackson. Wow. I didn't know anybody else famous, right, that we would relate to. I mean, we're talking the '80s here, but they knew Michael Jackson. Like, it had reached like Coca-Cola and Michael Jackson. It had reached that far. Jake Isham [00:04:28]: He, I mean, he is the ultimate persona of you know, the greatest personal brand to ever have done it. He was literally the biggest celebrity on the planet as your example right there. James Kademan [00:04:41]: Yeah, surreal. So, let's dig deeper into that. How do you market yourself as a personal brand knowing, and this is the caution that I have, or I should say the concern that I have, is you market yourself as your personal brand. Now, you always have to be on and you always have to be that voice, or you always have to be pumping out content that you can't necessarily farm out to anyone else because they're not you. So you have to give all the presentations and do all the things. So tell me about that. Jake Isham [00:05:14]: But that's— I, I have two things. The first overall is that's the, that's the business you're going getting into. If that, that is the roles and responsibilities of a CEO. That is like, all right, then don't be a CEO. Don't be an executive. Like, look, you don't have to do a personal brand. I'm gonna 100%, I know lots of millionaires and a few billionaires who you could not point out in a crowd, who you could never name by, like, you would never know their name, never know anything about them. And they are unbelievably successful. Jake Isham [00:05:49]: Okay. 100%. So I'm not saying, oh, you have to or you will never be successful, but if it's just a different path and it's a different— again, it depends on that niche you're in. If you want to be like hyper B2B, you can slightly stay, but you're still going to be known within your industry. Like your personal brand doesn't have to reach the millions of people, right? If you say you service the top 100 law firms in the US, you still have to be the personal brand that is known by those top 100 law firms in the US. Now, Joe in Iowa doesn't need to know you, but you, Better make sure every partner in all those top 100 law firms know you so you can service them. And that's where the personal brand is so important. Like, you know, I mean, as simple as this, you think about like, it's silly, I forgot this example until now. Jake Isham [00:07:04]: Some of the biggest brands that we know were all personal brands. Ford. It's a guy's last name. Walt Disney. That's his name. There was a dude named Walt, last name Disney. J.P. Morgan. Jake Isham [00:07:23]: These are, these are just people, and they literally built a company based on their name. So That's where it's like, again, personal brand is everything. And you don't have to name the company after your name, but there's an aspect of knowing who's running the company, who's the face of the company, who— where does the buck stop, who's leading it? And I think that's where it's so important. So that's kind of— I know I got off a little bit of a tangent on your question, but— James Kademan [00:07:57]: Oh, you're good, you're good. That's the game. Jake Isham [00:08:00]: It's a mindset shift that a lot of entrepreneurs get scared. Oh,

Chris Walker built Refine Labs from $3,000 in the bank and $65K in debt to $22 million in revenue in roughly three years — 100+ employees, 350 software company clients, and arguably the most influential voice in B2B marketing. He created the "dark social" movement, redefined how an entire generation of marketers thinks about MQLs, and built a massive audience doing it. Then he walked away. Because the peak of the business was also the lowest point of his life.In this conversation, we get into what actually broke at the top, why changing your environment doesn't fix what's underneath, and what Chris means when he talks about "frequency" — stripped of the spiritual language and grounded in the engineer's brain he actually has. We debate whether you have to grind before you can transcend it, why limiting beliefs feel like facts, and why he thinks training your frequency will be as common as going to the gym within five years.We also go deep on extractive vs. regenerative systems — in business, content, social media, and relationships — and why the intention underneath your actions matters more than the actions themselves.I've been using Chris's ENCODED program for five months. I came in skeptical. I still have questions. But I can't deny what shifted. This one's worth your time whether you buy the concept or not.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy building a $22M company was one of the worst periods of Chris's life — and what that reveals about external vs. internal successWhat "frequency" actually means as identity + beliefs + intentions, without the spiritual languageWhy changing your job, city, or business doesn't work if you don't change the foundation underneath itThe difference between extractive and regenerative systems — in business, relationships, and how you show up as a leaderWhy limiting beliefs feel like facts, and how to spot the invisible ceiling you didn't know you builtHow the intention underneath your actions — in content, business, and life — determines the results you getWhy Chris thinks frequency training will be as mainstream as going to the gym within 3–5 yearsBOOKS & RESOURCES REFERENCEDShoe Dog by Phil Knight — https://a.co/d/05UhJN4T ENCODED Frequency Map — https://www.encoded.ai/ We Are Encoded Podcast — https://open.spotify.com/show/5eEzaXy4hUSqlvzD9ROqrz

It's the Sunday Podcast, and that means Rich tackles topics of either a self-development or spiritual nature, and as you might guess from the podcast title, today it's self-development. One of Rich's favorite quotes comes from Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, who said, referring to the early days of the business when its future was anything but certain: Confidence: More than equity or liquidity, that's what a man needs. Rich is going to discuss how to develop that elusive trait… and as you know, he's got plenty of great stories to back it up. This is a recording from an old webinar he did in 2010… you're going to enjoy it!

This episode travels the world, in may different ways. In the beginning I update the wacky stories of the day. North Dakota State, Sacramento State, either have jumped or looking to jump to bigger levels of CFB. Trinidad Chambliss is still wanting to play CFB  at Ole' Miss.  U of Alabama is trying to set the a new world order.  I bring on todays guest , an old childhood friend of mine , Marty Leake. Marty and discuss a mish-mash of topics. We start of with of a discussion with the college Basketball gambling  scandal and how it is being handled. We move on to world Travel, as Marty is big into seeing the world. Which leads me to telling the story on how I meet Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike. We leave the topic of world Travel to the our connection to Indiana Hoosier football. Marty and I touch on on the college sports NIL and Portal tampering. The Stories of tampering have shown the how broken major college sports are. The Coaches who the TV commentators claim coaches are leader of men. When they are the one causing all the havoc. We ended our reunion with more travel talk.

Former Nike exec Mark Hochgesang interviews Danny on Heavy Hitter Sports Podcast about MS & being an adaptive athlete. Just back from Belize! Training works. Summary My friend Mark Hochgesang, former Nike exec and host of Heavy Hitter Sports, recently interviewed me. While I usually wear my life on my sleeve on Health Hats, this conversation revealed something different—how I think about myself as an adaptive athlete. Phil Knight’s mantra: “If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” I never thought of it that way until Mark helped me see it. Training to travel? That’s athletic training. Loading a 60-pound wheelchair into an SUV? Strength work. Walking 3,500 steps a day with MS? Competition with myself. Here’s what we covered:

This week on Get Out In It, we're talking about the brands we run in — and what they stand for when we're not thinking about pace, splits, or PBs. The episode was sparked by a simple but uncomfortable question: what happens when you love the gear, but feel conflicted about the values behind the brand? Using Nike as a starting point — and the recent headlines around co-founder Phil Knight's personal political donations — we explore the tension between performance, ethics, and consumer choice. From there, we zoom out to look at how money, influence, and brand leadership shape the world runners and outdoor lovers exist in, before shifting the focus to brands genuinely trying to do better. We highlight companies like Patagonia and Allbirds, alongside smaller running and outdoor brands putting sustainability, transparency, and social impact at the heart of what they do. This isn't about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't wear. There are no perfect brands — and no guilt trips here. It's about awareness, curiosity, and giving ourselves permission to ask better questions about where our money goes. A thoughtful, honest conversation about running, values, and how small choices can still matter.

In this episode, I break down five traits that consistently show up in people who win—then challenge you to apply them immediately. We talk thinking bigger, taking smart risks, staying consistent, and locking in focus when it gets hard. I pull lessons from leaders like Jeff Bezos and Phil Knight to show what those traits look like in real life—and how you can build them through daily reps.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:14 The Importance of Traits for Success12:46 Jeff Bezos and the Power of Thinking Big24:02 BPN's Journey and Vision31:06 Calculated Risks and Success41:03 The Birth of Nike43:19 The Early Days of BPN49:40 The Importance of Consistency54:24 The Trap of Blind Consistency01:00:01 Focus: Identifying Opportunities vs. Distractions01:10:46 Adaptability and Resilience01:15:19 The Day One Mentality01:21:02 ConclusionORDER MY BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFE⁠https://bpn.team/member⁠IG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitness

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comSUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Once upon a time, Ole Miss picked segregation and the Stars and Bars over being good at football. Indiana picked basketball over being good at football. Miami never really chose not to be good at football, but made a series of mistakes and ran up against difficult modern realities that caused a long drought. Meanwhile, the story of Phil Knight rescuing Oregon is now so old-fashioned it's basically quaint. In this subscriber episode, Richard and Alex talk about how the four 2025 Playoff semifinalists got out of their own way. The second half of this audio file (starting at 39:43) is a resurfacing of our “Dead Letters” episode about the history of Ole Miss football, featuring Alex and Steven Godfrey. We've gotten a lot of new listeners since the episode came out in 2023 and wanted to make sure those folks had a chance to hear it. Find all Dead Letters shows here. Producer: Anthony Vito.

Stanford educator and renowned creativity expert Tina Seelig joins Richard Lucas on the New Books Network's Entrepreneurship & Leadership channel to discuss her new book What I Wish I Knew About Luck (coming April 2026). As the host found himself agreeing with everything Tina said, he asked for examples of people who disagreed with her. First, they discussed the value of respectful disagreement, and the fact that Richard's father, the late Oxford philosopher JR Lucas routinely took the opportunity to disagree with his son, no matter what point of view was being put forward. Tina shared that her father, aged 99, still thinks that good things just happened to him over the course of his life, whereas she outlines all the actions he took to create that good luck. Tina dismantles the myth that luck is purely random. She distinguishes fortune (things that happen to you) from luck (something you can actively cultivate), and explains why clichés such as “the harder I work, the luckier I get” or “fortune favors the prepared mind” are true but incomplete. What is the “hard work” required to create luck? What exactly is a “prepared mind”? Key highlights: Why entrepreneurship and creativity are teachable skills that everyone can improve, just like sports, music, art, math, or science. The value of keeping a “failure résumé” and viewing failure as a trampoline rather than a lava pit. Real stories of ethical dilemmas early and late in her career. Full details in the book and podcast. Why showing genuine appreciation (especially thank-you notes) is one of the highest-ROI habits for creating luck. A thank you note she wrote was read out at a funeral 20 years later. How to build trust, have difficult conversations, and surround yourself with the right “crew” The foundational role of self-awareness, values, resilience, risk-taking, and patience in manufacturing your own luck Tina also shares the inspiring origin of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program (co-founded by John Hennessy, former Stanford President, and Phil Knight, founder of Nike) and reflects on teaching leadership to some of the world's most promising graduate students across all disciplines at Stanford University.

* Budget cuts, oh wait, maybe things are not that bad? Should agencies still do the 2.5% cuts in short session just because it looks like they can ?* Gas tax bill looking like we got more than 150,000 signatures already.

Her comments reflect that. * Is the tide really changing on the transgender ideology? https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2025/11/oregon-school-district-pays-650k-to-settle-suit-over-gender-identity-policy.html* Will Democrats admit that there is not a homeless problem there is a drug problem in Oregon? It has nothing to do with the price of homes, shelters or all the other “causes” of homelessness. It is DRUGS. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/11/portlands-new-overnight-only-shelters-are-rarely-full-new-data-shows.html• TRIMET is a freaking train wreck. Pun intended. No one rides and with a $300 million budget hole, they cut 26 positions to only save $17 million. They need to start tearing up track and just doing core lines east and west/etc. This is a campaign issue that no governor wants to take up but they should.

This month marks ten full years of my bimonthly book-recommendations project—a decade of weird little paragraphs about the books that grab my scattered attention. Whether you've been here since the beginning or signed up five minutes ago, thank you. I'm still baffled anyone reads these things, but I'm grateful all the same. To mark the occasion, I recorded a late-night solo episode from The Shed, diving deeper into each of my September & October picks: why I chose them, what stayed with me, and the sometimes-unexpected lessons I gleaned from each of them. Or you could just describe it as a guy sitting in his garden shed talking to himself. Your choice. You can read all of the recommendations here, or, if you're clamoring to receive more emails, you can sign up for the list here.

In today's episode of Stories from The River, Josh Hatchell, Broad River's Senior Retail Experience Manager, continues his conversation with Charlie Malouf, Broad River's CEO, in part two of Retail Operations "Get To Know You" session held on September 18th at Broad River's Fort Mill, South Carolina, campus. This conversation dives into Charlie's personal leadership approach, the future of Broad River, and the strategies he uses to stay connected with the Memory Makers across the stores.  As Broad River is about to take root in a completely new part of the country, the audience members exhibit curiosity about continued growth and expansions they expect in the future. With humor and thoughful reflection, Charlie shares his vision for Broad River's next chapter, while at the same time sharing his vision and growth philosophy for the company, summed up in one word: bamboo. The realization is swift and effective, like Broad River, bamboo is resilient, adaptable, and grows quietly underground until it's ready to sprout and reach new heights. This is Broad River's strategy for the next chapter.  Listen carefully for a behind the scenes insight into plans for innovation, motivational advice, and building your own leadership presence in the world.  Books:  Shoe Dog by Phil Knight - https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Dog-Memoir-Creator-Nike/dp/1501135910   Soundtracks by Jon Acuff - https://www.amazon.com/Soundtracks-Surprising-Solution-Overthinking/dp/B08NXXNDSV   All It Takes is a Goal by Jon Acuff - https://www .amazon.com/All-Takes-Goal-Massive-Potential/dp/B0C5B4NH32  Listen to Part One of this Conversation: Getting to Know Charlie Malouf: Early Jobs, Failures, & Laying Foundation for Broad River's Culture -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsYEZf2xDO8   This video on Youtube:  https://youtu.be/y00Ip9pYWrw  Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com   for more episodes.   Broad River Retail brought this show to you.

In this episode, Lisa and Anita discuss:The growing trend of students choosing business as a “default” or undecided majorThe value of real-world work experiences for high school and college students exploring businessWhat competitive business school admissions officers truly look for beyond academicsHow reflection, course choices, and extracurriculars shape clarity and college readiness for business majorsKey Takeaways: Students should pursue any kind of job or small business experience—from babysitting to retail—to build basic professional and business skills early.Reflection on experiences is essential for college essays and interviews; students who articulate what they learned stand out more than those who list achievements.Highly selective programs expect applicants to demonstrate problem-solving and awareness of real-world, local business issues, not just academic excellence.Choosing challenging coursework like Calculus and exploring available business electives in high school can strengthen both preparedness and application competitiveness. “What I see from a lot of students is that what helps them get away from being undecided is actually those real-world experiences, whether it's in the summer or after school.” – Anita DoddiAbout Anita Doddi: Anita has spent her career helping students get where they're trying to go, beginning with her early days as an academic adviser at the University of Chicago. She's guided hundreds of students through admissions, with many accepted to top universities, including the University of Michigan, Cornell, UPenn, Columbia, and all the UC schools.

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
