Nate Jones: Fall of a Nike CEO

Listen on

Episode notes

Nate Jones, NBA agent and footwear entrepreneur at Move Insoles, is here to discuss a shocking corporate ouster at Nike. We get into how Nike modernized at its own expense, lost core customers, and ultimately fired a CEO they were just recently so enamored with. What lessons can be learned from the shoe apparel giant’s issues? What parallels do we see to recent problems at Disney and overall entertainment? Is this what happens when a corporation sacrifices art in pursuit of efficiency?

Oh, and we also discuss why the hell Nike’s not making more of the Caitlin Clark moment. Enjoy..
