Today, they'll talk about the founding of their brand, Saysh, how they hope to break free from the shoe industry, touch on what it's like running a business with your sibling, their waymakers and so much more.

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.

It's a great opportunity for those in the industry to come together, do business and make new connections. The Running Event 2023 was the largest in the show's 17-year history, welcoming more than 4,000 total visitors and featuring 314 exhibiting brands like Brooks, HOKA, On, Saucony, Balega, ASICS and New Balance.A big takeaway for us is that TRE is a lot more than a trade show. There was so much buzz and good energy at the event, and you could tell people were really making connections, doing business and talking shop—all while really having a good time. We loved our time at TRE, and if you're in the run or outdoor specialty business, we definitely recommend you check out the 2024 event.The Running Event 2024 will take place November 19-21 in Austin, TX, at the Austin Convention Center; registration is set to open mid-July.

Apple employees are protesting against their latest remote work policy. As of September 5, 2022, all Apple employees are mandated to be in the office 3 days a week. As the in person vs. remote work debate continues, it's interesting to see massive companies establish policies that we may have never looked at if it wasn't for the pandemic's pressures towards remote work. Here are my thoughts on the debate! Want in on the can't miss small business event of the year?! Playbook 2022, Sept 21st & 22nd. 100% Free. All virtual.

In this episode, I'm talking with Alan Stein, Jr. This episode is all about sustaining your game, both in business and in life. Alan is an acclaimed basketball performance coach, having spent 15 years working with some of the highest performing athletes on the planet. I'm talking Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, and as a huge basketball fan, I really enjoyed this episode. So five years ago, he pivoted from that experience in basketball to working with high performing business leaders and teams. And how they can utilize some of the same approaches that he saw these world class athletes using to raise their game and sustain their game. So he has written two books on those topics. Raise Your Game is the first book from 2019, Sustain Your Game came out in 2022. And we dig deep into what it takes to play at a high level in your business. So we talked about managing stress on a daily basis. We talked about how you can deal with the mediocrity or feeling like you're stagnating in the business, what to do about it, and then how to conquer burnout. So all of this is just his great lessons, great stories in basketball, translated into how they can impact you in life and in business. There were so many takeaways, so many gems and nuggets that I don't want to spoil at all in this intro. But just think like, if he was working with Kobe Bryant and asking him the secrets to life and the secrets to performance. If he was coaching a 15 year old Kevin Durant, who is now a multi hundred millionaire, multi gold medalist kind of athlete. What kind of takeaways might he have to share with you? Well, this episode is jam packed with those takeaways. So listen in and hear Alan Stein Jr's takes on life, on performance, on business, and a little bit on basketball. Enjoy!

The debates, the social posts, the news headlines, all charged up about the new buzz word, "Quiet Quitting." In my mind, quiet quitting does not equal work life balance.

In this episode, I'm talking with Jason Feifer. This episode's all about building for tomorrow and why embracing change is essential for growth in business or any area of your life. Jason's the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and the author of the book Build for Tomorrow, which is in bookstores on Sept. 6th. He's also the host of two podcasts. One's called Build for Tomorrow as well, which is all about why modern concerns aren't actually that scary. Then he's got Problem Solvers, which is about unexpected problems that entrepreneurs are solving in their businesses. Prior to Entrepreneur, Jason worked as an editor at Men's Health, Fast Company, Maxim, and Boston magazine, and he's been writing about business and technology for years in Washington Post, Slate, New York, and others. I just love this conversation with Jason. He was a guest at Playbook, our annual event, back in 2020, when so much in the world was changing. He was just getting started with this book at the time, so we got to follow up 18 months later on what he's doing, how the world has changed and evolved, and his book, which is now out this week, so you'll get to hear a lot about change. Change is one of those topics that, as businesses, you deal with whether you want to or not. There's change of rolling out new policies and processes. There's new products that get rolled out. There's change for your customers. There's change for your employees, the market's changing, so how do you navigate that all? Well, Jason talks about his four step process and makes it very practical for you to go through. He also shows how you can use history to kind of calm your jets when you get nervous about things that are going on present day. So take a listen, I know you'll love this one.

In the recent weeks you've probably heard the uproar of comments on Malcolm Gladwell's criticism of remote work. I disagree with the majority of his statements, but I do however agree on one aspect. Business leaders inability to effectively communicate the advantages of being a remote or an in person company. And effectively communicating anything that needs to be implemented for that matter. Regardless if you are a remote or in person business, you have to clearly explain why it's the best scenario for your work culture. To me, it's a person by person and business by business decision. You can't make blanket statements. Want in on the can't miss small business event of the year?! Playbook 2022, Sept 21st & 22nd. 100% Free. All virtual.

Featuring the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history and her brother and manager who have teamed up to launch and develop Saysh, a high-growth women's footwear and lifestyle brand.

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

Wes Felix is CEO and co-founder of Saysh, a lifestyle brand that creates products by and for women. He's also the founder and managing partner of boutique sports management agency Evolve. 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.

“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.

Two of the most decorated female sprinters on the planet, from the US and Jamaica, talk to Kim Chakanetsa about smashing records, the impact of pregnancy, and calling out sex discrimination in their sport. Allyson Felix is an American sprinter who one year after giving birth to a premature baby, beat Usain Bolt's record for winning the most world championship gold medals. After Allyson exposed her sponsor Nike for asking her to take a 70% pay cut on a new deal post-pregnancy, the brand changed its policy on pregnant athletes. Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has won more 100m world titles than any other athlete in history, male or female. After taking a break from athletics to have a child, she became the world's fastest woman for the fourth time in 2019, bagging two gold medals at Doha. Both athletes are aiming to add to their medal tally at the postponed Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
