On this episode presented by Busey Bank, we sit down with Drea Ranek and Melissa Nieberle, the founders of Lusso Style—a design house that's redefining fan gear for women. What started as a luxury boutique 25 years ago has grown into a national brand partnering with major teams and retailers, from STL CITY SC to Bass Pro Shops. Their mission? To deliver fan apparel that's as stylish and intentional as the women who wear it. This conversation comes at a pivotal time. Over the last decade, the female fan base in major U.S. sports has surged—NBA and MLS now hover around 45–47% female fans, and even the NFL boasts nearly 80 million women in its audience. Yet for years, women were underserved when it came to quality merchandise. Lusso saw that gap and decided to change the game. Today, we'll talk about how they scaled from boutique to national partnerships, the design philosophy behind their collections, and what's next for Lusso as women's sports fandom continues to rise. And, as a note, my wife Melissa joined me as co-host since she's both a fashion fan and huge sports fan. I'm also excited to welcome a new partner for the show - The Normal Brand - clothing rooted in Midwestern values. Co-founder Jimmy Sansone joined me awhile back (episode #67) and I'm a big supporter. They're giving listeners 15% off one purchase of regularly priced clothing. Just use the code BAKEDIN at checkout. Head to thenormalbrand.com and find your new favorite fit. Let's roll…
