Footshop Petra Hajdučka jede divokou jízdu – poté, co se firma „oklepala“ z krize, kdy musela propouštět, osekávat sortiment a zavírat obchody, naskočila na růstovou vlnu a od té doby jen roste. Podnik vstoupil na burzu a za loňský rok si připsal tržby 1,43 miliardy korun, EBITDA vyskočila dokonce o 106 procent na 117 milionů korun a dobře se vyvíjí i rok letošní.„Výsledky za první kvartál ukázaly růst 45 procent, EBITDA rostla o 30 procent, takže pokračujeme v té pozitivní vlně. Upřímně, vnímám, že tato čísla jsou výsledkem naší práce před dvěma lety. Vždy to trvá, než se to projeví i ve finančních reportech,“ říká Peter Hajduček, zakladatel Footshop.Stojí za dnešními výsledky škrty a zavírání, kterým jste si museli projít?Ano. Tehdy začala ta poctivá práce, jejíž výsledky se dnes ukazují. A dnes intenzivně pracujeme na tom, abychom za dva roky dokázali dále růst.

Sole Material highlights Reebok's effort to regain the marketshare and brand equity they once held in the 90's by enlisting Shaquille O'Neal as President and Allen Iverson as Vice President of Basketball.
Designer Keanan Duffty; Fashion meets Music, David Bowie, Sex Pistols; The University of FailureI'm thrilled to introduce Keanan Duffty—this isn't just an intro, it's your VIP pass into the mind of a true blend of fashion, music, and education.Keanan is a British-born creative powerhouse (b. 1964, Doncaster) who's been rocking stages and runways since the late '70s After cutting his teeth in punk and New Romantic bands like Sordid Details and Wonder Stories, he sharpened his artistic vision at Central Saint Martins before relocating to NYC in 1993 to pursue both fashion and music In fashion, he founded his own Soho-based label in 1999, leaning into rock‑inspired, subculture-driven style—selling to heavy hitters like Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, and Bloomingdale's . He's styled legends like David Bowie and the Sex Pistols—and even co-created a David Bowie-inspired line for Target in 2007. Between designing for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B., consulting with Ben Sherman, Reebok, Aveda, Dr. Martens, and launching a built‑in wardrobe show with DIY punk flair, his style ethos is nothing short of revolutionary On the music front, he's frontman and vocalist for Slinky Vagabond—a glam‑punk supergroup that featured Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock, Blondie's Clem Burke, and Bowie/Lennon guitarist Earl Slick—tossing his voice into iconic events and venues since the 2000s. Today Slinky Vagabond is Keanan and Fabio Fabbri. Around academia, Keanan's a true educator and mentor. He's held leadership roles at Parsons, Academy of Art San Francisco, Polimoda in Florence, and now at USC's Iovine & Young Academy—teaching fashion through the lens of innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial storytelling He's also a proud CFDA board member and advocate for Ukrainian designers, having orchestrated their platform at NYFW .What ties it all together? His signature “practical sustainability” ethos—upcycling vintage Levi's and Lee jackets, launching eco-cotton collections in the '90s, and integrating tech like CLO‑3D to slash waste Get ready for an engaging, inspiring conversation—Keanan blends raw rock energy, design discipline, and an educator's insight like no other.

När Nike Vaporfly lanserades 2017 kom för första gången en löparsko som på riktigt revolutionerade marknaden. Sanningen hade dittills alltid varit att ju lättare desto snabbare och att dämpningsmaterial kan vara skönt, men alltid står i motsats till fart. Nu kom ett material som GAV någonting till löparen, det var en mystisk karbonplatta med i mixen, och de bästa skorna såg plötsligt ut som platåskor, närmast. 2017-2020 var det ett enda skomärke som kunde erbjuda den här konkurrensfördelen och löpare som var sponsrade av andra märken målade över eller pillade bort Nike-loggor. Eller hoppades att de helt enkelt inte skulle bli upptäckta. David Nilsson hade levt ett långt löparliv med supertunna tävlingsskor när de nya varianterna började dyka upp och han välkomnade den utvecklingen. 2019 sprang han Berlin Marathon på 2.11.50. Den snabbaste tiden på nästan 30 år, i ett par Reebok som var tunna och saknade kolfiberplatta, men som hade det nya mellansulematerialet. En sko som han i hemlighet slagit svenskt rekord i halvmarathon med, redan 2018. Några månader efter Berlin slog han svenskt rekord på Valencia Marathon med ett par vita Vaporfly Next%. Reebok bröt kontraktet och den tidigare rekordhållaren Kjell-Erik Ståhl muttrade om skodopning. David förstod tidigt att skoval kunde vara avgörande, men att mellansulan åtminstone för honom var viktigare än kolfiberplattan som alla pratade om vid den här tiden. . Jesper Lundberg började sin löparbana i riktigt tunna skor och upplevde det som smått sensationellt när han för första gången fick ett par fjongskor på fötterna. Med oss har vi också Victor Urquhart Smångs som berättar om att när sprang med fjongskor för första gången på Hässselbyloppet 2019 och kapade sin miltid med två minuter. Vi träffar även Nomio-atletenoch danska rekordhållaren på 10k, halvmaraton och maraton Jacob Simonsen som berättar hur han använder Nomio för att bli bättre på träning och tävling.

"If they ain't hating on you, then you aren't doing something right." Shaquille O'Neal One of our favorite people and top Pivot Podcast guest returns as we welcome a man who needs no introduction, our friend, the one and only Shaquille O'Neal. Sitting with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor- Shaq jumps right into the chaos and fun of the world we know, the dynamic of life after sports, shares some inside stories, offers his thoughts on current NBA, the mindset shift it took to build a business empire, give back to communities, and discover his true purpose. From the end of TNT's Inside the NBA show to his relationship with Charles Barkley, Shaq says how he avoids emotions around changes he can't control and admits the two occasions he cried, losing his sister to cancer and losing his brother Kobe Bryant. He expounds on questions surrounding his relationship with Kobe and how he regrets not reaching out sooner as he explains the tough lesson in the reality that once someone is gone, they are gone forever with no redos or second chances. Shaq continues telling Ryan, Channing and Fred that we have to approach life with open hearts to always forgive and be the bigger person even when it's most difficult. He reveals what's been the glue to his bond with Barkley over the years and the why that we never knew existed. The icon's larger than life personality comes through as the guys talk about what really happens after the final buzzer sounds as Shaq keeps it real speaking on his era of players vs now, breaks down the NBA finals between Oklahoma City and Indiana, dismisses the small market vs large market not making entertaining basketball, weighs in on the true GOAT conversation, and who he sees as the current player who wears the crown as the league's face, and best ways of navigating identity outside of the NBA. From owning businesses to being a father and mentor, Shaq reveals what keeps motivating him to keep making big moves, and it's not just money...this conversation is full of laughs, locker room talk and true fellowship as we really cover so many aspects of life and do it in a pivotal way where you are laughing one moment and in deep thought the next.

Mini drivers, zero torque putters, and 9-woods. Are these going to be part of the game for years to come, or a distant memory in ten years time? That's what the boys debate in this week's episode, but there's so much more! An extended handicap report features Joe's impulsive decision to purchase a new putter. Reebok stars past and present collide: would you rather have the career of Allen Iverson or Bryson DeChambeau?
When consumers can get AI-generated designs completely customized to their needs, what does this mean for the future of brands and the customer experience? I have two guests on my show today: one is the founder of one of the world's most iconic shoe brands, and the other is the co-creator of the first AI-designed commercial shoe. Today we're going to talk about what it takes to innovate and grow a brand and how things are both similar—and different since Reebok launched its brand in 1960, and now Syntilay brings a whole new era of AI-based design to the market. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Joe Foster, the founder of Reebok and Ben Weiss, the CEO of Syntilay. About Joe FosterJoe founded Reebok in 1958 with his late brother Jeff, following their family heritage back to 1895. Joe's Grandfather, also Joseph W Foster, pioneered the spiked running shoe and famously made shoes for the Worlds best athletes of the early 20th century, with World records and Olympics Gold Medals.Wearing (pumps) made by J W Foster & Sons Ltd, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell won Olympic Gold Medals in the 1928 Paris Olympics and were immortalised in the film ‘Chariots of Fire'.With Reebok they followed in his footsteps, with Olympic, Commonwealth and European medals and World record breaking performances, represented now by the range of Reebok Classics. About Ben WeissBen is building the future of sneakers, shoes designed with Artificial Intelligence that are entirely 3D printed, accompanied by an excellent team and set of advisors including the legendary Reebok Founder, Joe Foster, original Shark Tank Shark, Kevin Harrington, and others. He hosts the business podcast, LegendsNLeaders, which breaks down the steps it truly takes to become successful and have a positive impact in the world.

LeBron James was selling out basketball arenas while still in high school. At just 18, he said he was offered a $10 million cheque from Reebok - on the spot - if he agreed not to meet any other brands. It was a life-changing sum for a teenager living with his mum in the projects. But LeBron turned it down. He was willing to hedge his bets. He's won four NBA championships, four Most Valuable Player titles, three Olympic golds, and scored more points than anyone in league history. Yet, as BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng reveal, most of his fortune hasn't come from basketball. With a lifetime deal from Nike, plus investments, endorsements, and savvy business moves, LeBron has built an empire way beyond the court, becoming one of sport's richest ever people.Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast exploring the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion.

In March 2023, I created a piece of content that thoroughly examined the UK-only limited time offer branded pre-workout supplement that Gymshark created earlier that year by basically partnering with UK sports nutrition brand Applied Nutrition. And at the very end of that content, I mentioned that “I didn't think we'd be seeing Gymshark create a permanent supplement line or even tons of these LTO launches...at least in the short-term.” But since we're well past that timeframe mentioned, Gymshark just created another LTO supplement, and the activewear categorical boundaries have been decimated lately by investment decisions from ALO Yoga, NOBULL, and Reebok...I thought it was time to relook at my previous consideration if Gymshark should launch a line of sports nutrition supplements. And "from Nike to lululemon to Alo, these activewear brands aren't just selling apparel…they're selling a lifestyle.” Essentially, it's my belief that in today's marketplace, younger consumers (especially) are increasingly looking for visionary brands that are radically and bravely changing both our individual and global cultures with exciting and bold new lifestyle choices. So, if you weren't picking up what I was putting down…strategic narrative boldness is attractive and brand distinctiveness is highly defensible from a competitive landscape perspective but has become increasingly rare and difficult to achieve, as it requires both an artistic and scientific approach to create a unifying, central idea with the right combination and orchestration of all brand elements. Yet, as I mentioned earlier, several activewear brands have recently made strategic investments that sought to innovate around their consumer's specific lifestyles (and altered legacy categorical boundaries). But what about Gymshark? Why hasn't the activewear brand evolved past traditional product category constraints to own a larger slice of its customers' identity? And before anyone points towards company size (based on annual revenue), Gymshark reported growing 9% YoY and generated just over $800 million in revenue during its latest fiscal year…a number that exceeds or puts it in relatively close proximity to those previously mentioned activewear brands. Instead, I think Gymshark struggled to continually show up as its unmistakable self, as the activewear brand attempted to gain more acceptance across the adoption curve. Said another way…Gymshark got lost during its pursuit of more customers. And I think that became a major factor into why founder Ben Francis returned as CEO in August 2021, despite Gymshark successfully scaling from a smaller brand. So, after embarking on an almost four-year journey…there seems to be singularity and focus once again with the marketing and brand building strategy. And its revived brand distinctiveness harkens back to why Ben Francis originally founded Gymshark in the first place…realizing “no one really made clothes for the bodybuilding scene.” So, even though launching “Gymshark Nutrition” would undoubtedly create a loss of focus on the core business…and the current landscape is arguably even more challenging (and uncertain) for the apparel industry, I'm convinced Gymshark could successfully evolve past traditional product category constraints to own a larger slice of its customers' identity.

Today, host Pete Moore sits down with Michael Pesta, a veteran in the HALO space whose career has bridged the fitness, entertainment, and tech industries. Michael shares his journey from his beginnings at AFAA—where he played a key role in pioneering fitness education and telemarketing globally—to an unexpected pivot into film and music production. Mike's story started in the mid-1980s, when, as a struggling actor, he agreed to help move boxes at an organization he hadn't heard of—never suspecting it would literally change his life. Michael quickly found himself drawn into the organization's mission and over time, rose from a casual volunteer to become the director of membership. Michael is now back in the HALO sector with an innovative focus on telefitness, aiming to bridge the longstanding gap between the fitness and healthcare industries. Pete and Michael discuss the evolution of fitness education, the changing landscape of personal training, the integration of technology, and Pesta's vision for a new era where trainers, healthcare professionals, and clients all connect seamlessly. Key themes discussed Evolution of fitness industry education and certification. Partnerships between fitness brands and major companies (e.x., Reebok.) Transition from fitness to entertainment and back. The rise of telefitness and telehealth platforms. The challenges and benefits of online personal training. The importance of connecting fitness with healthcare services. A few key takeaways: 1. AFAA's Early Days and Industry Impact: Pesta entered the fitness space by chance with AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), which at the time was a key player in fitness education and certifications. He helped develop their telemarketing division and played a major role in expanding programs globally, including strategic partnerships like outfitting instructors worldwide with Reebok shoes. 2. Adaptation and Collaboration Are Key in Fitness Partnerships: Michael highlighted the importance of partnerships between leading fitness brands and educators. Collaborations with companies like Reebok brought vast exposure and validation to AFAA's education programs. However, he also notes that how big brands like Nike and Reebok interact with the sector continues to evolve, and education may not always be their current focus, despite massive historical investments. 3. Career Shifts Bring Transferable Skills: After a successful run in fitness, Pesta took a leap into the entertainment industry, producing films and learning every facet of the production business. This gave him valuable skills in production, marketing, and distribution—skills he would later apply upon returning to the fitness and telehealth sectors. 4. The Next Big Thing-Telefitness as an Extension of Telehealth: Michael's current focus is to create a trusted, HIPAA-compliant platform that not only vets the best personal trainers but also positions them for direct referrals from healthcare providers. This effort aims to solve the industry's historical inability to connect personal training with mainstream healthcare. 5. Support and Upskilling for Personal Trainers: Telefitness will provide personal trainers with new opportunities for entrepreneurship, offering lead generation, business-building support (like webinars specifically for virtual training), and potential client referrals sourced from both healthcare and consumer channels. Trainers won't be charged upfront SaaS fees; instead, the model will center on revenue-sharing. The emphasis is on elevating trainers' roles, including launching specialties like the “medical personal trainer.” Resources: Michael Pesta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-h-pesta-satori-1a9776a5/ AFAA: https://www.afaa.com Classroom Trainer: https://www.classroomtrainer.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: http://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: http://www.higherdose.com

A Day Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial: The Photos, the Bullets, and the Warnings “You have a habit of adding things to witness answers, and when you do that, it's a form of testifying,” Judge Beresky told Lori Vallow Daybell in the final moments of the day, as court wrapped after a marathon of cross-examinations, autopsy details, and crime scene photos. By the time court adjourned at 4:34 p.m., Lori had spent hours at the podium cross-examining Chandler Police Detective Daniel Coons, trying to challenge the state's version of how Charles Vallow was shot and killed. It was her chance to unravel details about bullet trajectories, the positioning of shell casings, and whether her brother Alex Cox could've plausibly been where he claimed when the shots were fired. Coons held firm: the bullet trajectories were consistent with Charles being shot while lying on the floor, one bullet embedding in a baseboard. The shells? Just inches from the wall. And the gun, a .45 caliber semiautomatic, ejected to the right—not left, like Lori suggested might have mattered. At one point, Lori veered into the realm of firearms training, asking if center mass is what police are taught to aim for. Coons confirmed, yes—it's about stopping the threat. Then she asked if novice shooters are taught the same. He said no. It was a brief window into the angle she seemed to be aiming for, though the judge regularly reminded her to keep her own commentary out of the questioning. Photos of the home were admitted—over a hundred of them. Exterior shots. The front door. A Reebok hat on the floor. Blood pooling around Charles' body. A bat nearby. Projectiles in baseboards. Bullet casings marked with yellow placards. And in one particularly dramatic moment, a chunk of flooring was presented in court. It had been cut out to preserve a mark that investigators said was made by a bullet passing through Charles' body. Lori objected to some of the photos being admitted but was mostly overruled. The judge said the images helped the jury visualize the scene. She used some of the same photos in her cross, trying to push back on Coons' conclusions, asking if divots in walls or trajectories could have occurred differently, if maybe the shooter wasn't where Coons said. He stood his ground. Earlier in the day, Chandler Fire Captain Kent Keller testified about Charles' condition when medics arrived. Lividity and skin modeling were already setting in. His pupils were fixed. No electrical activity in the heart. CPR was initiated but quickly deemed futile. According to Keller, there was no indication anyone had attempted life-saving efforts before the fire crew arrived. The positioning of Charles' body, the small pool of blood, and the condition of his skin all suggested death had occurred some time before. Lori pressed Keller hard on the science of lividity and modeling. Could it happen in just a few minutes? Would medication change how the body looked? She floated the idea that maybe CPR had been done, just not effectively. Keller, and another paramedic named Cowden, said they saw no signs of it. In fact, they testified that effective CPR would've caused more bleeding—blood would've been forced out by the compressions. There just wasn't any, aside from the pooling underneath. At one point, Cowden described performing CPR while another EMT prepared the heart monitor. He said Charles was found with a baseball bat and ball cap nearby, but no one else was in the room. The house was otherwise empty, aside from officers clearing it. His account was backed up by Keller, who described the scene as calm, with the main objective being to assess, perform CPR, and confirm the lack of vital signs. Throughout the day, Lori tried to walk the line between playing defense attorney and defendant. She questioned procedure, timing, blood patterns, CPR protocols, and scene diagrams. But the judge frequently reminded her about courtroom boundaries. When she asked whether someone had spoken to the media, the judge called for a sidebar. When she objected to Coons' expert testimony, the judge ruled against her but gave her space to cross-examine thoroughly. As court neared the end, a small issue arose: subpoenas had been sent by the defense to detectives, but without contact info. The judge told Lori to have her investigator handle it. Also, she was reminded to flag any photo exhibits she needed by the following morning. With that, court adjourned. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #CrimeScene #TrueCrimeCourtroom Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
