Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Nike (ticker: NKE), the global leader in athletic footwear and apparel. With a legacy built on innovation, iconic athlete endorsements, and a brand that resonates across generations, Nike has long been a dominant force in the sportswear industry.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Stefan Di Benedetto from SolBevi. Stefan discussed the phenomenal growth of his limoncello brand, including more than doubling sales and expanding into New Zealand. He shared insights into the challenges of starting solo and the importance of team building. The conversation also touched upon key marketing strategies like "liquid on lips" and the complexities of funding rapid growth in the FMCG industry. Stefan offered valuable lessons learned during his entrepreneurial journey. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is having to do everything yourself, especially at the start. Stefan recounted his experience of managing cross-functional tasks such as marketing, finance, and sales simultaneously. He described physically going from venue to venue during the day and then working until midnight on administrative tasks like paying invoices and cash flow forecasting What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Stefan Di Benedetto stated that his favorite business book that has helped him the most is "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. He mentioned that the book reminds him of similar situations he has gone through in his business, such as taking risks and experiencing financial difficulties, and it provides him with a lot of motivation. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto mentioned that he doesn't really use any online tools for his professional development. Instead, he listens to a lot of business-related podcasts. He specifically enjoys podcasts where he can learn from people who have exited businesses and built successful companies. He also listens to podcasts that discuss marketing and marketing strategies, including what's current and how to be strategic. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto recommends using Xero as a key tool to grow a small business. He emphasizes its value in helping business owners understand their numbers, which he believes is crucial for making informed decisions and sustaining growth. He also highlights the importance of working with a good bookkeeper or accountant who can help interpret those numbers, rather than just recording them. This combination, according to Stefan, provides clarity and supports smarter business decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? On day one, Stefan Di Benedetto would tell himself, “It's going to be hard.” He admits he was likely naive about the challenges of his new industry, especially compared to his previous experience in consultancy and construction, where he felt more confident. The unexpected difficulties taught him that persistence and resilience are essential. His core advice to himself would be: “It's going to be hard, but just don't back down.” Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Government Extreme Makeover Edition_April 6, 2025 by Phil Knight

In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, I speak with Elliot Riley-Walsh, founder and CEO of Valart, a platform revolutionising how collectors manage their prized assets. Launched in September 2023, Valart provides an agnostic solution for collectors to catalogue, value, and manage their collections—whether it's fine art, classic cars, trading cards, or even Lego! With AI-powered valuation tools, end-of-life planning, and NFT creation for provenance, Elliot and his team are creating a much-needed digital solution for collectors worldwide. What makes Valart's growth strategy unique? Instead of relying on traditional direct marketing, Elliot is focusing on strategic partnerships with wealth managers, auction houses, and insurance companies to build trust and credibility. His goal? To reach 1 million users in the next five years—but the biggest challenge is convincing collectors to trust a new digital platform with their valuable assets. During our conversation, we explore:

Sonny Vaccaro was the pivotal figure behind Michael Jordan's groundbreaking deal with Nike, which remains one of the most storied contracts in sports business history. So good they made a movie about it, "Air", in which Vaccaro was played by Matt Damon, with Ben Affleck in the Phil Knight role. Vaccaro's book Legends and Souls is the long-awaited memoir from one of the great American sports business insiders, telling the reality behind the film and shining a light in to the culture of Nike then and now.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

April 1, 2025 ~ Food banks across Michigan are bracing for food shortages this year after the federal government stopped $4.3 million worth of shipments, even as many report that the need for food assistance is increasing. Executive Director of the Food Bank Council of Michigan, Dr. Phil Knight, talks with Guy and Jamie about how the community and state support is essential to bridge this gap.

March 31, 2025 ~ Dr. Phil Knight, Executive Director Food Bank Council of Michigan, Host of Food First Sundays at 9pm on WJR talks about a massive shipment to food banks that has been cancelled by the federal government.

In Legends and Soles, Sonny Vaccaro, in collaboration with 11-time Emmy-award winner and six-time New York Times bestselling author Armen Keteyian, peels back the layers of sensational media stories and headlines, providing an unvarnished look at his pivotal role not only in Michael Jordan's ascent as arguably the world's most famous-and richest-athlete, but Vaccaro's other consequential relationships, including those with Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. He reflects on the crushing disappointments, as well, detailing the shocking eleventh hour betrayal by Adidas that led to the loss of a then-18-year-old phenom, LeBron James. He describes reaching a career-defining "inflection point" where he abandoned the shoe industry entirely to pursue his advocacy of athlete's rights bringing readers into the tense, landscape-altering nine-year drama behind the O'Bannon federal lawsuit that changed the face of college sports.Considered basketball's ultimate insider, Vaccaro remains a formidable, passionate voice in the worlds of sports marketing and collegiate sports. His visionary promotional innovations-beginning with the signing of college coaches to Nike endorsement deals followed by the signing of Jordan, revolutionized sports marketing. An outspoken advocate for the rights of athletes, he was the catalyst behind the landmark Supreme Court decision giving control of Name/Image/Likeness (NIL) rights to tens of thousands of college athletes, recently affirmed by the historic $2.8 billion settlement by the NCAA and major conferences opening the door to fair compensation for the real stars-the athletes themselves. Recently he was the central character in the hit movie Air, directed by Ben Affleck and starring Matt Damon as Sonny, exploring a four-month snapshot of his extraordinary eight-decade life. Vaccaro, still an affable and outspoken personality, resides on the West Coast with his wife, Pam. "There have been literally thousands of stories written and broadcast about me over the years," said Vaccaro, "but this time the story is being told by the only person capable of setting the record straight-about Michael, getting blindsided when Phil Knight fired me, my battles with the NCAA, the seminal O'Bannon lawsuit, and many other personal revelations even my closest friends don't know. And I've got the documents to back up every last word." This memoir is far from a recounting of events; rather it's the never-before-told journey of a middle-class kid from a small steel town in western Pennsylvania who rose to the top of a mountain-a rich, revealing tapestry of relationships, triumphs, and challenges through the world of sports, business, and culture told by a man at the epicenter of it all, at Nike and beyond. With a 16-page photo insert illuminating some of Vaccaro's most treasured career memories, Legends and Soles is the long-awaited memoir of a giant of American sports.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This Week on Next on the Tee, I'm joined by three incredible guests. In Part 1, I start with one of the game's all-time great instructors—Tom Patri. Not only is Tom a phenomenal teacher, he's also a fantastic player. Tom is sharpening his game for the Senior Florida Open, happening April 22–24 at Aberdeen Golf & Country Club in Boynton Beach, Florida. You'll hear how he dominated the course during his practice round for the qualifier, plus his thoughts on Rory McIlroy's win at The Players, J.J. Spaun's valiant effort and willingness to face the media after falling short, perhaps something Collin Morikawa could take a lesson from. Next up is a longtime friend from our Thursday Night Tailgate football show, former NFL defensive back Vencie Glenn. Vencie played for the Patriots, Chargers, Saints, Vikings, and Giants—and he's just as popular in golf circles as he was on the football field. I share one of my favorite stories about walking Augusta National with him and how he introduced me to Phil Knight and Tiger's mom. The golf world knows and loves this guy, and for good reason. We chat about former NFL players who excel at golf, and how Vencie honed his skills to become a ball hawk in the league, racking up 35 career interceptions. Please come back for Part 2 of this week's show featuring the Next on the Tee debut of another Top Instructor in our game, Taylor Crosby. Taylor is a disciple of Jim McLean and is now teaching at The Kingdom at Reynold Lake Oconee. He's fantastic! You're going to really enjoy his stories plus the playing lessons he shared. Thank you for pressing play on this week's show. I appreciate you!

Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike, was on a quest for the perfect running shoe grip when he found inspiration in his wife's waffle iron. Pouring polyurethane directly onto their wedding gift, he began to develop the prototype that would eventually become Nike's legendary waffle sole trainer, and which received its patent on 26th February, 1974.  But Nike wasn't always the fashion powerhouse we know today. Back then, it was still Blue Ribbon Sports, importing Japanese running shoes. Bowerman, a top U.S. college track coach, and Phil Knight, a former runner and business enthusiast, had teamed up to take on the dominant German brands like Adidas and Puma.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why, despite this astonishing origin story, the sneaker was first called the "Moon Shoe"; take a whistlestop tour through some other Nike highlights, including the iconic ‘swoosh' and "Just Do It" slogan; and reveal what happened to the humble waffle iron at the centre of the story… Further Reading: • ‘Nike receives patent for waffle‑soled trainers—invented in a waffle iron | February 26, 1974' (HISTORY, 2024): https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/nike-patent-waffle-sole-trainers-invented-in-waffle-iron • ‘How Nike Won the Cultural Marathon' (The New York Times, 2022): https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/15/style/nike-culture.html?searchResultPosition=6 • 'Iconic Nike waffle shoes worn by legendary distance runner Steve Prefontaine up for auction' (KGW News, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKnh5VVPQbU Love the show?

Executive Orders - February 22, 2025 by Phil Knight

In this episode of Out of the Clouds host Anne Mühlethaler explores the evolution of digital spaces with Sari Azout, founder of Sublime, a personal knowledge management tool for creatives. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia — the magical hometown of Shakira and Gabriel García Márquez — Sari describes herself as a cerebral child who found her intellectual home first at Brown University, where she developed a "fiercely independent mindset" and discovered the joy of the library as a social space.With remarkable foresight( Sari "could always see around corners") she strategically planned her path to remain in the U.S. as an international student and got into banking, ultimately landing at Barclays during the 2008 financial crisis. This experience taught her valuable lessons about the importance of connecting work to meaningful impact.Next the pair discuss Sari's project, Sublime. Sari articulates her vision as both practical and philosophical, calling it "the personal knowledge management tool of my dreams." She explains that in a world where "intelligence is being commoditized," what remains valuable are "conviction, point of view, courage, intention — the artist's way." This connects to her writing practice, which has revealed that "ideas never come to me before I write. They always come to me in the process of writing."Their conversation delves into Sublime's three core promises: never lose a valuable idea, never be uninspired, and transform from passive consumption to active creation. Sari emphasizes wanting to "facilitate helping people make things, not just consume things," noting that "being a consumer is just a state of helplessness." Drawing inspiration from books and Marshall McLuhan's quote that "the medium is the message," she envisions a "sublime internet" that moves away from quantifiable metrics toward meaningful engagement.Sari also speaks candidly about the tension between selfishness and selflessness in entrepreneurship, and her "willingness to be misunderstood for a longer period." She shares her vision of transitioning from the attention economy to the intention economy, reframing digital tools as something "people use instead of products people consume."The episode concludes with Sari sharing her perspective on happiness and describing her version of "paradise on earth" as working all day alone in anticipation of an evening in great company.

Study Finds ‘Vast Surveillance' of Social Media Users DRMeta, YouTube and other sites collected more data than most users realized, a new report by the Federal Trade Commission finds.The Federal Trade Commission said on Thursday it found that several social media and streaming services engaged in a “vast surveillance” of consumers, including minors, collecting and sharing more personal information than most users realized.Due to AI fakes, the “deep doubt” era is hereBillionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'Sam Altman may be in his villain era, but no one seems to careAssholiest of the Week (MM):Data:We have access to 10,429 companies in the Free Float Analytics database4,565 of them are tagged as “Totalitarian” companies - companies where a single person (founder or founders, controlled companies, dual class) owns the majority of influenceThose boards have 19,872 directors that are wholly independent - not family, executives, or insidersThe number of those directors that quit in protest of the fact that the founders do whatever they want: 0… UNTIL YESTERDAYSo here's a short list of assholes who have way more reason to quit:Robin Washington - on TWO Totalitarian boards (Salesforce, Alphabet)Brad Smith - on TWO Totalitarian boards (Netflix, Amazon)MetaMarc AndreessenAndrew HoustonTracey TravisPeggy AlfordTony XuRobert KimmittNancy KilleferJohn ArnoldOracleAwo AbloBruce ChizenGeorge ConradesJeffrey BergLeon PanettaMichael BoskinNaomi SeligmanRona FairheadWick MoormanWilliam ParrettTeslaJoe GebbiaKathleen Wilson-ThompsonRobyn DenholmFull list available as a data drop!Bonus asshole - do you think he fucking matters? Republican lawmakers issues warnings about ‘far-left' Facebook board billionaire John ArnoldDataHigh school only graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed as college graduates.Typical earnings for bachelor's degree holders are $40,500 or 86 percent higher than those whose highest degree is a high school diploma.Median lifetime earnings are $1.2 million higher for bachelor's degree holders.Even when adjusting for sociodemographic data, graduating college is a big fucking dealAsshole: Sam Altman and the “whatever dude, just BE a billionaire and it's cool” college dropoutsSam Altman tells high schoolers dropping out of college wasn't a big dealDataRoll back ESG To Increase Retirement Earnings Act or the RETIRE Act DRThe guy who wrote/sponsored the bill - Rick Allen of Georgia - also happily tried to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage (his argument was a bible passage, and said anyone who votes for it is going to hell), sued to overturn the 2020 election, and failed to disclose his stock holdings, and wouldn't you know, he's on the energy and commerce committee and his biggest contributors are a local Caterpillar dealer, the Koch Brothers, the National Chicken Council, and a lumber companyKilling proxy voting by paperwork!“maintain a record of any proxy vote, proxy voting activity, or other exercise of a shareholder right, including any attempt to influence management”ESG piece of this is nothingburger, calling it ESG is strictly political theater for Blackrock's seven ESG analysts and the guy running HUD's ESG Program (Emergency Solutions Grants Program) to get confused“Notwithstanding paragraph (A), if a fiduciary is unable to distinguish between or among investment alternatives or investment courses of action on the basis of pecuniary factors alone, the fiduciary may use non-pecuniary factors as the deciding factor if the fiduciary documents [why]”But because investors have basically ceded the alternative democracy to companies, this will cement it - rather than using your vote, you were happy to gamble so conservatives in the US are taking away your right to vote by making it so onerous you don't bother at all“The fiduciary duty to manage shareholder rights appurtenant to shares of stock does not require the voting of every proxy or the exercise of every shareholder right.”This replaces the “Prudent man standard of care” section on fiduciary duty which basically says you have to invest prudently… Headliniest of the WeekDR: ESG is Coming For Your Toilet PaperMM: Real Madrid's $1.9 billion stadium cancels all concerts because the music was too loudWho Won the Week?DR: 23andMe for pretending to look like independent director heroes (when really this is just about the share price)MM: Anne Wojciki - finally she can conduct a board meeting in a bathrobe if she wants! No more fake listening!PredictionsDR: New CEO of Southwest Airlines will NOT be a…. Woman.My initial hunch was this was a great Glas Cliff CEO moment but then I looked at the 15 companies in this article: Long-Term Returns of Paul Singer's Activist Targets and of the 15 companies cited her, including Juniper Networks, PayPal, Alcoa, and NRG Energy, all 15 of the companies are run by… dudes.An article in June reported that Paul Singer is under scrutiny for gifting conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito an undisclosed private flight, donated $10 million in June to the Senate Republicans' top super PAC. I wonder who he'll be voting for in November??MM: John Donahoe, newly retired, joins the board of 23andMe because he's used to an overvoting founder and hey, who cares, right?

What it takes to develop as a leader.Great leaders and great communicators aren't born, they're made. That's why John Hennessy and Tina Seelig, directors of Stanford University's Knight-Hennessy Scholars, are working to create the great storytellers of tomorrow, today."We decided that there was a leadership void, and that was a driving motivation to do this," says Hennessy, former Stanford president and current Alphabet chairman. The program, which he co-founded in 2016 with Stanford alum and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, equips scholars with essential leadership skills through hands-on experience and collaborative problem-solving.Seelig, executive director of the program, emphasizes that great leadership centers on effective storytelling. "No matter how compelling your invention, your idea, the thing you want to do in the world, if you can't communicate it in [an] effective way, nobody's going to listen," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hennessy, Seelig, and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to develop as a leader, discussing the role of communication, the power of empathy, and the centrality of storytelling.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Biography: John L Hennessy Tina Seelig: WebsiteStanford Profile: Tina Seelig  Knight-Hennessy ScholarsLeading Matters PodcastEp.155 Can We Be Candid?
