The Author Events Series presents Quiara Alegría Hudes & Ray Beauchamp | The White Hot & Misunderstood The White Hot takes the form of a letter from mother to daughter about a moment of abandonment that would stretch from ten days to ten years-an explanation, but not an apology. Hudes narrates April's story-spiritual and sexy, fierce and funny-with delicate lyricism and tough love. Just as April finds in her painful and absurd sojourn the key to freeing herself and her family from a cage of generational trauma, so Hudes turns April's stumbling pursuit of herself into an unforgettable short epic of self-discovery. In Misunderstood, Allen Iverson shares in searing clarity and touching candor his meteoric rise from impoverished child in the Virginia projects to high school champion to Georgetown University protégé of legendary coach John Thompson, and finally to NBA All-Star and Reebok's Vice President of Basketball. Quiara Alegría Hudes is an American writer. Her work includes the Pulitzer Prize winning play Water by the Spoonful, the Tony Award winning Broadway musical and major motion picture In the Heights, the animated film Vivo, and the essay High Tide of Heartbreak. As a prison reform activist, Hudes and her cousin founded Emancipated Stories, a platform where people behind bars can share one page of their life story with the world. Ray Beauchamp has been a criminal defense attorney in New York for the last fifteen years, having advocated for the rights of indigent people at the Legal Aid Society in Manhattan and the Bronx. Prior to Legal Aid, he clerked in the Second Circuit and served as managing editor of the Fordham Law Review. And prior to all that, he was a kid in West Philly, developing and nurturing a deep love of the 76ers.

In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague speaks with Art Juedes and Rick Gering, co-founders of Eastbay,  about how a chance meeting at a Wisconsin 10K race led to the creation of Eastbay, one of the most influential mail-order athletic retailers in history. Starting with just 108 pairs of running shoes, they built a multi-million-dollar business by focusing relentlessly on direct customer access, operational excellence, and fast adaptation to customer behavior.  The conversation explores how Eastbay survived supplier crises, built loyalty through community rather than marketing, and maintained a 40-year partnership grounded in trust and compromise. It's a masterclass in customer obsession, entrepreneurial resilience, and building enduring competitive advantage without massive capital.  What You Will Learn: How to build a competitive advantage through radical customer focus Why operational excellence becomes your moat when you lack capital The pivot principle: Let your customers redesign your business model:  How to navigate supplier relationships when you're undercapitalized Why trust and compromise are the non-negotiable foundations of long-term partnerships The framework for decision-making under uncertainty   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions for doing this are here.   About Guest: Rick Gering and Art Juedes are co-founders of East Bay, the pioneering mail-order athletic footwear retailer that revolutionized direct-to-consumer sports retail. Born two days apart in June 1952 in Warsaw, Wisconsin, these lifelong runners transformed their passion for athletics and customer service into a business empire that grew from a basement operation to a $35+ million enterprise before their 1997 sale to Foot Locker. Their expertise spans supply chain innovation, brand building in competitive markets, and creating loyal communities through exceptional customer experience, lessons forged during the "sneaker wars" of the 1980s and 90s, when they secured exclusive partnerships with Nike, Reebok, and emerging brands like Under Armour.   Quotes: "We were at our wits' end trying to figure out how we would get product, how we would get shoes because we had no money. There were three of us who originally were going to go into it, and I had called Art to maybe be the fourth because he was the one who would have made it work. It was a number of chances all put together, by people who didn't really know what the end game was going to be." - Rick "Our first sale became our second business plan. Once the kids tried the shoes on, they weren't giving them up; they were selling right there. The kids couldn't wait to get the shoes so much that they loved them, so we realized that our idea to take orders and send shoes later was out the door." - Art "There weren't a lot of other distractions, so we really could focus on the athlete and our customer, listen and learn, and figure out what makes what's important to them. In a larger town, there's so much more noise that even the athletes get distracted. The big thing that we did differently than any other retail store is go directly to the kids." - Rick "We decided to go all in on the Nike Air line. If that line didn't sell, we were toast. But it was a great seismic shift for East Bay because Jordan was a seismic shift in the shoe and footwear industry. Before that, everyone looked at athletic footwear as equipment, and after that, athletic footwear became part of your identity." - Art Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): East Bay running shoes, mail order business, sneaker entrepreneurship, direct-to-athlete business model, small town startup, customer-centric business strategy, athletic footwear industry, Nike Air Jordan partnership, business partnership success, mail order catalog strategy Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): inventory management startup, supplier relationships Nike Reebok, business pivots adaptation, catalog marketing strategy, mail order logistics, athletic retail innovation, team sports sales, sneaker culture history, vertical integration business, customer service excellence, competitive advantage small business   Episode Resources: The Book of Eastbay on Amazon World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

What makes a story land in a corporate setting, and what kills it?

Gabe and Asher bring a firsthand report from Watches and Wonders 2026 in Geneva, jet‑lagged but watch‑fueled. They walk listeners through the week's key impressions: a general sense of underwhelming novelties from the big brands, alongside impressive investments in booth design and production value. The episode zeroes in on Audemars Piguet's controversial, fully walled booth and strict queuing system, a move the hosts find off‑putting in a community event. In contrast, they highlight the energy downtown — the Beau Rivage, Time to Watches, Chronopolis and one‑off brand showings — where independents are generating excitement. Notable moments include Moser's playful Reebok collaboration, Credor's surprising standalone presence, and the growing prominence of independent makers in the Palexpo and around Geneva. The hosts also praise brands and spaces that created calm, focused environments for hands‑on encounters, such as Berneron's art‑gallery meeting. Overall the episode frames the week as a snapshot of an industry in flux: shifts in where the action takes place, evolving brand strategies, pressures from costs and logistics, and a renewed appetite for independent creativity. Gabe and Asher close by promising a follow‑up with their favorite unsung watches of the week. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

Old TV static ambience for sleep, relaxation, and deep focus. 9 hours of channel surfing white noise with soft signal drift, static hiss, and subtle audio fluctuations. No talking, just continuous ambient sound.TV static and ambient drift is this week's episode—the sound of no television signal, i.e., no channel transmitting.I'm old (we've discussed this). I realize that TVs today just have a logo bouncing around the screen (yes, I'm thinking of the Office). In the old days, we would see static or “TV snow”—random electromagnetic noise displayed on screen (in the absence of A Current Affair). And that electromagnetic noise gets passed to the TV speaker—“you deal with it” and that sounded like “KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH.”In the old days, when humans got mad at the TV, they had to stand, walk across a room, and turn a knob to change the channel. And many channels were unassigned, so we had to traverse multiple screens of “KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH” before seeing another human talking at us.Speaking of changing the channel—modern cable news...Cable news is essentially sports radio (they even offer betting now). Drive through any major media market (NY, LA, Philly—I love you, Philly! **** the haters) and listen to any sports radio station: bickering, crazy talk that all purports to lay the groundwork for fixing the home team's problems. One subject that covers the entire day, ad infinitum.There was a point in the '90s–2000s when television leadership realized their anchor—a stiff doofus reading current events—wasn't great for keeping eyeballs. And TV heads wanted audiences sticking around for twangy erectile dysfunction ads. Execs realized that arguing and debate among ***holes with insincere smiles and unearned gravitas equaled prolonged viewership.The problem is that on-air talent often doesn't know what the **** they're talking about, especially when they drift from the teleprompter. I've worked in television (we've discussed this too) and have witnessed anchors interject into on-air time with riffing—saying profoundly incorrect ****.One anchor claimed a local basketball phenom with size 18 feet wore bigger shoes “than even Shaq” (Shaq wears, like, size 22). Another anchor, during a breaking live takeover of the US Airways Flight 1549 (Hudson River landing), claimed that whatever caused the plane's engine to fail must have occurred in Connecticut airspace, because “once you take off from Laguardia you are almost immediately over Connecticut." All you have to do is look at a map to refute that dumb ****... A third anchor notoriously killed whole segments of the 11 o'clock news to make room for ad-libs. How long the show floated unscripted depended on how many beers the anchor had with dinner.Ok, maybe not profoundly incorrect examples... Like these idiot anchors and TV producers, I'm also a communications major, so my criticism is limited to the banal. Yet one needn't give these TV screws the benefit of the doubt on more complex subjects if they can't get Shaq's shoe size right.If you must watch the news, I would suggest you find an independent source you can trust. If I were to suggest guardrails, it would be: follow sources that tell you what's happening rather than pitting opposing sides to argue about it. If the channel you're watching brings up a two-box with a couple of ***holes about to square off on anything but Tom Brady—change the channel. PS: Shaq had one of the last awesome Reebok basketball sneakers—the Shaqnosis… For me, it'd be third place to Dee Brown, second to Shaq, first to Allen Iverson's The Question (honorable mention for John Wall's weird-looking pair).

Rick Watson is out. Nick Kaplan is in — and he's not giving the mic back.In this special Kaplan Wednesday episode, Nick takes the research prompts Watson built for his agentic commerce analysis and turns them on the very stories they were designed to interrogate.On the docket: Adyen's white paper claiming infrastructure is the constraint on agentic commerce (it isn't — and their own 95% AML false positive rate says why). Shopify's one-toggle Agentic Storefront promise and the data ownership problem it quietly creates. Klaviyo and Reebok Europe's Locale Aware Catalogs announcement — and the 149,999 merchants who aren't Reebok. The EU AI Act, which starts enforcement in five months and would like a word with every agentic protocol on the market. And the number that breaks every GMV projection: only 14% of shoppers trust AI recommendations enough to transact.The Kaplan Weekly is sponsored by Avalara. — automated tax compliance built for Shopify merchants, from calculation to returns.

The best brands don't just sell products. They give people something to say about themselves. ISlide built an entire company on that idea by taking a simple utility item, the slide sandal, and turning it into a platform for self-expression. Today, ISlide shows up on the feet of professional athletes, high school teams and fans across nearly every major sport. What started as a locker room staple has become a recognizable badge of personal identity. On this episode of Brand Slam, hosts Joe Kayata and Mary Sadlier talk with ISlide founder Justin Kittredge about the insight that sparked the company and the conviction it took to grow it. Few brands sit at the crossroads of sports culture and personal expression quite like ISlide. The concept is simple. Give fans and athletes a way to represent who they support and what they stand for, right down to what they wear after the game. Justin understood that dynamic long before ISlide existed. As a former Reebok basketball executive, he spent years inside one of the world's most influential athletic brands, watching how credibility is built with players and fans. That experience helped shape his approach to partnerships, licensing and brand growth from the very beginning. Justin also recounts one of the company's defining moments when he appeared on Shark Tank in 2016 alongside former NFL star Antonio Brown. After hearing the offers, he made the decision to walk away from the only deal on the table. For many contestants, the decision might have been simple. Accept the deal and take the momentum. Justin saw it differently. The offer could have compromised his vision for ISlide, and he trusted his belief in the idea and his business judgment enough to walk away and continue building on his own terms. It's a moment that is just one chapter in a much larger story. Justin reflects on the experiences that shaped his approach to brand building. He also shares how basketball continues to influence his work today, including the global nonprofit he co-founded with his wife Lindsey, Shooting Touch.  It's a conversation about insight, conviction and the unexpected places great brand ideas can begin.

Send us Fan MailMany companies treat experience as the final layer of the business: a nicer interface, a friendlier script, a smoother customer interaction. But the real experience of a company comes from something deeper. It grows out of the systems, incentives, and environments that shape how people behave.

The whole crew is back together... Nick, Mike, Robbie, and Rohit are all in the same (virtual) room for the first time in a while, and things get weird before they get good. From confusing their Thugs (Young vs. Slim, no disrespect to either) to breaking down the Reebok Engine A26 and the adidas x Spider collab dropping March 3rd, the guys cover a lot of ground this episode.The real meat of the conversation though? That ESPN story by Baxter Holmes about the Jordan 19 and the Black Mamba origin... it turns out the snakeskin concept that defined Kobe's entire identity was originally pitched for Michael Jordan, who wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Nick, Rohit, and Mike dig into why that story matters beyond the history books, what it says about how sneaker media used to work, and why moments like this one don't happen nearly enough anymore.Then the conversation shifts to Formula 1, sneaker partnerships in motorsports, where the real opportunity is, and why Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari might be more interesting for the sneaker world than anyone is talking about yet.Oh, and somewhere in there, Robbie gets off a line about MJ having too many animal nicknames that you just have to hear for yourself.Topics covered:Reebok Engine A26, adidas x Spider Superstar Super Modified, Jordan 19 Black Mamba origin story, WNBA Jordan Heir II, Hyrox vs. CrossFit, Formula 1 sneaker partnerships, NIL deals and the future of basketball culture.ESPN Story: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48016100/inside-secret-history-black-mamba-kobe-bryant-michael-jordan-air-jordan-19Nick's Story: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.com/p/sometimes-the-universe-proves-yourSUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistorySubscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@sneakerhistoryJoin our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/xJFyWmWgzaIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.comCHECK OUT OUR OTHER SHOWS:For the Formula 1 Fans - Exhaust Notes: https://exhaustnotes.fmFor the Fitted Hat Fans - Crown and Stitch: https://crownandstitch.comFor the Cars & Sneakers Fans - Cars & Kicks: https://carsxkicks.comFor the Creators & Creatives - Outside The Box: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/outside-the-box-convos-with-creators/id1050172106[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

Mike Guillory has been doing this longer than most people realize... and probably better than he gives himself credit for. He's the host of Coffee Time Kicks on YouTube, a co-host on the Sneaker History podcast, and one of the most thoughtful voices in sneaker content. He's not chasing the hype releases, he's not doing "transaction videos," and he's definitely not interested in making content he doesn't believe in. That approach has taken him to nearly 500 videos, millions of views, and a channel that keeps growing because it's built on something real.In this conversation, we get into what it actually looks like to build a content channel from scratch, the mistakes most creators make early on, why authenticity outlasts trends, and why the "tryhard" mentality his son's classmates are mocking is exactly the mentality you need to make it.We also talk about the Sneaker History podcast approaching 500 episodes, what makes long form content work (and when it doesn't), and why the most watched video on Mike's channel is about ASICS Japan while some of his most personally meaningful videos barely moved the needle.This is a real conversation between two people still figuring it out in public, and I think that's exactly why it's worth your time.In this episode:Nick and Mike on starting YouTube before COVID hit, and why timing doesn't matter as much as just starting. The difference between chasing hype releases and building a sustainable content lane. Why Mike researches everything before recording, even though he tries to make it sound like he's just talking. How the skating videos with his son became some of his most-engaged content, and what that tells you about what people actually want. The real talk on attention spans, short form vs. long form, and why a 196,000-view TikTok taught Mike absolutely nothing about what his audience wants. Why the Reebok trainer video with his brother might be one of the best things either of them have made, even if the numbers didn't reflect it. And the thing Nick has never shared publicly before... sneaker YouTube videos from 2013 that only Jacques Slade has seen.Follow Mike Guillory:YouTube: @MikeGuilloryInstagram: @madwatcher789Follow Nick:Newsletter: TheSneakerNewsletter.comYouTube: @NickatSneakerHistorySneakerHistory.com

#740 What if the key to breakthrough innovation isn't inventing something new — but seeing value where everyone else sees waste? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Stuart Jenkins, a lifelong athlete turned footwear innovator, to unpack an incredible entrepreneurial journey that blends grit, patience, and purpose. Stuart shares how his background as an Olympic Trials–qualifying marathon runner shaped his mindset for startups, why he believes preparation is everything, and how decades in the footwear industry led him to reimagine massive amounts of discarded foam as high-performance, commercially viable products. From licensing early innovations to Reebok, to helping bring HOKA to life, to building a sustainable footwear brand that transformed industry “waste” into products worn by elite athletes — and even featured on Oprah's Favorite Things — this conversation is a masterclass in innovation, persistence, and seeing opportunity where others see trash! What we discuss with Stuart: + Olympic Trials mindset + 1000:1 preparation principle + Athlete to entrepreneur journey + Footwear innovation origins + Commercializing ideas vs inventing + Turning waste into resources + Sustainability beyond marketing + Building factories from scratch + Rejection, luck, and persistence + Seeing truth before trends Thank you, Stuart!

Today's episodes are some of my favorites. I hate stories of just wavetops, and I love stories about people who refuse to give up on what they believe and have built. Don't sleep on this episode; there is much to be gained and learned. Dan Ellis has been making performance footwear for 35+ years, starting his shoe-making career at Saucony, where he worked at their factory in Maine, learning each step in the shoe-making process. He went on to work for Adidas and Reebok, making specialized shoes for multiple Olympic and professional athletes. In 2005, DEVCOM (aka "Natick Labs") asked Dan to work with the Navy SEALs to develop a suite of boots, which turned into the brand OTB Boots. One elite unit nicknamed him "Bootmaker to the Good Guys", which is used today as a tagline for the OTB Boot Brand.   Today's Sponsors:  Montana Knife Company: https://www.montanaknifecompany.com LMNT: https://www.drinklmnt.com/clearedhot  

In addition to being a global executive and leadership strategist who has led $400M+ businesses at adidas and Reebok, driven global rebrands, and coached leaders from chaos and crisis to clarity and confidence, resulting in major transformation, Chad is a friend of 15 years. We met sitting at the negotiating table between CrossFit and Reebok, and then spent the next few years managing the newly minted relationship from each respective brand. Chad is now the Cofounder of ACTIV8, which helps teams reduce friction, build trust, and perform at their highest potential. https://chad.activ8myidentity.com/   Today's Sponsors: Montana Knife Company: https://www.montanaknifecompany.com LMNT: https://www.drinklmnt.com/clearedhot
