Allyson Felix is the most decorated American track and field athlete of all time. She's also a mother. Those two identities came into conflict in 2018 when negotiating a contract renewal with her shoe sponsor, Nike. Ultimately, Allyson broke ties with Nike because the new contract presented a significant pay cut and lacked adequate maternal protections. After struggling to find a new shoe sponsor, Allyson and her brother/agent, Wes, decided to take matters into their own hands and start their own shoe company, Saysh. This week on How I Built This Lab, Allyson and Wes talk with Guy about their journey to the top of the track and field world, the decision to leave Nike, and how they built the iconic shoe that Allyson wore during her gold medal performance at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Plus, why most name brand shoes aren't designed for women's feet, and how Saysh is working to change that.

Finding racing shoes shouldn't have been a struggle for Olympic champion Allyson Felix. She had already won 32 career medals and helped usher in game changing pay guarantees and pregnancy protections. But inequality knows no bounds, and she still saw disparities in a footwear industry that didn't bother to consider bodies that weren't male.So she teamed up with her brother, Wes, and together they built Saysh, a collection of stylish, functional sneakers designed for everyday performance. Inequality might know no bounds, but neither do the Felixs.About host Kevin RutherfordKevin is a human-centric leader helping you to unlock your team's full potential by creating a dynamic and engaging work environment.

But off the track, she's also covered a lot of ground: Her work as an activist led Nike to change their sponsorship policy, adding protections for pregnant athletes and new moms, marking a major industry shift. Along the way, Allyson also became an entrepreneur, founding footwear and lifestyle brand Saysh with an aim to create an encouraging and supportive community for women. Plus, season two of her Mountaintop Conversations podcast will be debuting on Jan 17, in which she celebrates the stories and experiences of leaders across politics, entrepreneurship, and culture. Tune in for a whole lot of inspiration from a woman who made it to the top of her field and is now dedicated to pulling up those around her.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Allyson Felix is a 5-time Olympian and recently retired as the most decorated American track & field star of all time with 30 medals. Recently named one of TIME's “100 Most Influential People,” Allyson is stepping into her next chapter as a fierce advocate for women. She's the founder of Saysh, a lifestyle brand focused on athletic-inspired footwear made for and by women, and is a powerful voice for maternity health. On this episode, we talk about managing pressure and expectations, bouncing back from setbacks, and overcoming fear to find her voice.  

BoF's Daniel-Yaw Miller unpacks why — and how — sports stars including Russell Westbrook and Megan Rapinoe are running their own labels, with full financial and creative control.  Background:  Athletes have long been part of the fashion conversation. In the past, they've capitalised on their influence by inking brand endorsements with the likes of Nike and Adidas. Now, stars like the NBA's Russell Westbrook, soccer player Megan Rapinoe and runner Allyson Felix are taking it a step further and launching their own labels in pursuit of more financial and creative control.  “A fashion brand can provide a revenue stream that will long outlast the playing career of an athlete,” said Daniel-Yaw Miller. “Athlete-run brands give their founders freedom they could not experience in a typical endorsement deal.”  Key Insights: Tennis champion Rene Lacoste's namesake label is one of the earliest examples of an athlete starting a brand. One of the latest is NBA star Russel Westbrook's Honor the Gift, which just showed its Spring 2023 collection at Paris Fashion Week.  Founding a brand gives athletes more control over creative direction, finances and their future; whereas endorsement deals often mean athletes have little say, are restricted in what they can wear and will expire upon their retirement.  Many athlete-founded brands are imbued with a sense of purpose. After leaving Nike, track star Allyson Felix founded footwear and apparel label Saysh — which just closed an $8 million funding round led by Gap's investment fund — with a nod to her advocacy for maternity rights baked in, allowing mothers and pregnant women to trade in shoes as their foot sizes change.  Though many athletes, including Westbrook and Felix, are pushing out brands toward the end of their playing and running careers, younger players are starting their careers with the mindset that they will eventually run fully-fledged businesses like Honour the Gift or Saysh. Additional resources: How Athletes Went From Selling Merch to Building Fashion Brands: High-profile athletes used to make money by inking licensing deals that churn out jerseys and shorts bearing their names. Today, sports stars like Russell Westbrook and Megan Rapinoe are running their own labels, with full financial and creative control. How NBA Star Russell Westbrook Is Changing How Men's Fashion Works: Once mocked for his garish outfits and lenseless eyeglasses, the Oklahoma City point guard is designing clothes for Barneys and updating the way Nike markets to men. Why Luxury Brands Want in on Football: Despite the rocky history between fashion and football, luxury brands from Moncler to Dior are looking to benefit from the cultural power and global audience of the world's most popular sport.

People will write you off and count you out, but it's up to you to keep going when you know you have more left. Allyson Felix, president and co-founder of Saysh, and the most decorated track and field athlete in U.S. history, found herself in a difficult position after starting her family and not feeling seen or respected by her former sponsor Nike. Instead of giving up, she used her platform to stand up for herself, and ultimately, countless young girls and women around the world. In need of a shoe to race in as she pursued making her fifth Olympic team, she and her brother Wes Felix, CEO and co-founder of Saysh, decided to dream big and create her very own spike and lifestyle brand for women. In this episode, the duo shares the backstory of how Saysh came to be, the inspiration behind Mountaintop Conversations, and what to expect for this season. Follow Allyson Felix @allysonfelixFollow Wes Felix @pwesley22Follow Saysh @bysayshJoin the Collective at bysaysh.com

When seven-time Olympic champion Allyson Felix was counted out by her then-sponsor, Nike, she decided to take a risk: speak out, stand up for herself, and advocate for others. After finding her voice and parting ways with Nike, Allyson and her brother Wes Felix wanted to make women feel valued and seen and created Saysh, a lifestyle brand for women.When thinking about their why, they kept returning to former First Lady Michelle Obama's concept of “the mountaintop.”On Mountaintop Conversations, Allyson and Wes speak to iconic leaders, entrepreneurs, and activists about the experiences—good and bad—that have made a lasting impact on their lives. We dive into our awe-inspiring guests' stories and discuss what it took to get to where they're at today and how they're extending their hand to help the next generation reach their own mountaintop.Welcome to the conversation.  Listen to Mountaintop Conversations wherever you get your podcasts beginning on February 21, 2022. Follow Saysh on Instagram and Twitter: @bysayshFollow Allyson Felix: @allysonfelixJoin the Collective at bysaysh.com

If you're a public figure (and even if you aren't), it can be hard to try something new; some onlookers will always be quick to tell you to “stay in your lane.” Hillary's experienced that, from working as a lawyer and advocate, to becoming First Lady, then running for office herself, serving as Senator and Secretary of State, and more recently writing a best-selling political thriller and becoming a podcast host!   On today's episode, Hillary talks to two women who have dared to step outside the box we put them in, by switching gears in their lives and in their careers. World champion track and field runner Allyson Felix did that when she became an advocate for Black maternal health and better protections for women athletes. And actor, singer, author, and advocate Vanessa Williams has done it over and over again, ever since she was throned, and then dethroned, as Miss America back in 1983.  Bios: Allyson Felix is the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history. In 2018, after a life-threatening pregnancy, she became a vocal advocate on Black maternal health. In 2021, Felix launched Saysh, a lifestyle footwear company. Vanessa Williams is a Grammy and Emmy Award winning and Tony Award nominated artist who's released eight best-selling albums, appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, written two books, and released two clothing lines. She first emerged on the national stage in 1983, when she became the first Black woman to be crowned Miss America, but was then forced to resign after Penthouse magazine published risqué photos of her without her consent. In 2021, she helped found Black Theater United to push for greater equity, diversity and inclusion on Broadway.  You can find a full transcript HERE.

He created and launched Saysh with his sister, Allyson Felix, the most decorated Olympic track and field athlete in the world—and who's faced many challenges of her own throughout her career. In this episode of Building While Flying, Wes breaks down how he sees customers and community differently, how each is valuable to their business, and why their membership community is such a large pillar of Saysh. He also shares what it was like launching Saysh in the lead-up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and why it was crucial for Allyson to run in her own brand's running spikes for her events. Throughout the conversation, Wes emphasizes the importance of understanding the challenges women experience, and making sure Saysh is a brand and community that helps all women feel seen and understood.

To subscribe to our newsletter https://www10plusbrand.com https://www.10PlusProfile.com   In 2018, when she was renewing Nike's seven-year sponsorship while being pregnant, Nike cut her pay by 70% and would not make any guarantees if her performance dropped due to giving birth. How Allyson Felix responded was significant in five ways. As a brand builder and marketer, I am thrilled that she won her last Olympic medals in Tokyo running in her own brand of running shoes, “Saysh”.

“I want to be able to leave room to be able to say, ‘No, there's like real stuff to do out there beyond just doing a deal.' And that does mean that I have to be more selective but hopefully, it also means that we'll be able to create more change. Even though you aren't one of my athletes, you still get to benefit from the work that we're doing. And that is Nike changing our maternity policy and being able to look at a new contract like Athing's and see that clause there that protects women's maternity. That to me is like, ‘Yeah, I don't ever have to represent you, but I'm glad I got to be a small part in putting that clause in there because that is for you. It is there for you so that you don't have to go through the stuff that I went through with Allyson that I hope no one ever has to experience. So yeah, it's a small group. It's a tight-knit group. But hopefully, the change can spread beyond just our little group.” Wes Felix is a track and field agent and also the co-founder and co-CEO of SAYSH. Just a few weeks ago, news about the new company went public when Time Magazine published a story that his six-time Olympic gold medalist sister Allyson and he were starting their own footwear company. The Saysh One lifestyle shoe ad the spikes that she wore at the Olympic Trials are the first two products to come out of the new venture. Wes shares the story about how this came to be, a little bit on how his sister took a chance on him to become an agent and represent her after his competitive days ended, how the split from Nike motivated him and Allyson to pick up the pieces and try something new. I got a lot of solid feedback from my episode with Tracksmith CEO and founder Matt Taylor so this is a good follow-up to that one.
