#60 Reebok's Founder Joe Foster: The $4 Billion Dollar Pivot

Joe Foster is the Founder of Reebok. Reebok is a hallmark in British sporting history valued at over four billion dollars. Everyone knows Reebok but not enough people know Joe - the 87 year old - behind what became the world’s biggest sports brand. The history of Reebok’s inspiration dates back to the late 1800s. Joe’s grandfathers brand, J.W Foster & Sons, invented the running spike and supplied track and field stars such as Eric Liddell. Joe and his brother Jeff were frustrated by the company his father inherited after returning from national service. The lack of innovation left a bad taste in Joe and Jeff’s mouth. So they left and pathed their own way. The brothers went on to build the brand the surpassed Nike and Adidas giving Joe the most amazing multinational career. Expect to learn: What post-WWII business in Britain look like The rationale behind the name Reebok and the litigations of patenting a brand Why having Adidas breathe over your shoulder is a driver not a drain How to penetrate the American sportswear market How Reebok overtook Nike’s running shoe How the aerobics boom created Reeboks first influencers and drove the brand to a billion dollars How Joe sourced a CEO/Business Partner The Day in the Life working in an organisation at that scale How Joe made the calculated decision to walk away when the brand outgrew him Joes lessons and advice reflecting on 87 years of a fulfilled life Thank you Joe for joining me again!

#56 Rory Sutherland - You Don't Make Sense & You Don't Know It: Here's Why

Part 1/2 Rory Sutherland is one of the most respected figures in Behavioural Science. He is also the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy Advertising, an author & a writer for The Spectator. He is a Cambridge Alumni. He penned one my favourite books Alchemy: The Power of Ideas That Don’t Make Sense We are all consumers. We interact with products and services every hour of every day, But we don’t all know the irrationalities embedded in behaviour that make us do the things we do. Especially the things that don’t make sense. Rory brings these into the light. Human behaviour is far less rational and sophisticated than we might claim. In this episode we speak about: Why rich people compete for art but not architecture Why Rory believes in “car free Sundays” Why McDonald’s touchscreens make you consume more calories Rory’s thoughts on Wetherspoons and his “mushy pea bombardment” Rory’s hypothetical “one behavioural reset” during lockdown &  the psychology of Uber maps and P*rn. It was a pleasure to share this part of a 2+ hour conversation with one of the most respected thinkers in his field!

Nick has given us his last podcast appearance ever - almost as a gift. Across these two episodes, he shares his last lessons from death-row. He has shared his story across national television outlets and even on Joe Rogan. We laughed, we cried and we laughed again. In light of the horrific experiences, Nick said that prison was like a fond memory to him - due to learning and practicing neuro-plasticity healing. "best thing" to happen to him. "I have a photograph of the street gang I was in when I was a teenager. There were 27 of us, 26 are dead now. "Death row saved my life. It taught me everything is a luxury to be treasured." He later said: "When I got out, I got a mantra from my mother, who sat me down and said that I had to be a polite and kind man from now on and that I had to be kind, otherwise it was a waste of coming home." Nick goes in depth on the struggle of being on death row telling of some very traumatic experiences and how he taught himself the skills to cope through them and the rest of his life. He then opens up about losing his career during covid as all public speaking opportunities across the globe came to a halt. He also provided us the deepest account of losing his child of SIDS.
