In 1987 Nike had $600 million in revenue. Phil Knight was stuck. The company was losing ground to Reebok, burning cash, and nobody inside could agree on what to do next.

He brought in Les Brown to speak to his executive team.

Brown was found abandoned in Miami at 6 weeks old. Labeled mentally retarded at age 9. Failed fifth grade twice. Had no degree, no connections, no money.

By 1987 he was the highest-paid motivational speaker in America. Marriott paid him. McDonald's paid him. General Electric paid him. Fortune 500 companies flew him in because one session with Les Brown changed how their people think.

Nike's revenue crossed $1 billion two years later.

Brown built all of it on one thing he learned by losing everything.

He made a promise to his adopted mother to buy her a house. Worked years to get the down payment. Found a home on the water in Miami. Signed without a title search.

A registered letter arrived weeks later. A $12,000 lien against the property. The previous owner's debt. 30 days to pay or lose the house.

He lost the house. Lost 23 pounds in the process. Packed his mother back into the old neighborhood while the same neighbors who watched them leave watched them return.

He stood in the driveway unloading furniture with his head down crying.

His mother said hold your head up. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

For weeks he couldn't move. Couldn't think. Couldn't plan.

He said the mind works like a gas pump. You cannot start pumping until the previous bill clears. Anger doesn't clear. Humiliation doesn't clear. They sit on the lever and nothing moves.

He told the story of a man everyone in Columbus called Chicken Man.

Woke up at 3am to a house on fire. Got out the window. Heard his wife and children screaming. Ran back. The flames were too hot. He could not get in.

The screaming stopped.

His brother-in-law arrived and started hitting him. Calling him a coward over and over.

When people pulled him off they asked if he was all right.

Chicken Man looked at them and started making the sounds of a chicken. He never spoke again. Drove around the city for the rest of his life with a toy chicken on his car and a photo of his wife in a baby carriage.

Brown said most people walking around are carrying something exactly like that. An event from years ago still running their entire life.

80% of the people you tell your story to don't care. The other 20% are glad it happened to you and not them.

The question is never what happened. The question is what are you going to do about it.

The lecture is free on YouTube. Just over an hour.

Almost nobody has watched it as a precise diagnosis of why capable people stay exactly where they are.

“Let me be real clear … I do not give a **** what happens to anti-vaxxers. I don’t. Let Darwin do his work. They helped to kill 700,000 Americans. I do not have the pity or tears to spare for any of them. … At this point, I’m just hoping they feel 1/10th of the pain they’ve caused everyone. … THEY’RE going to suffer. And I ******* well think they’ve earned it.”

Richard “Ricky” Rowe was a Florida Democratic political candidate (House District 23), truck driver, and self-described progressive LGBT activist.

He held no medical, scientific, epidemiological, or public-health qualifications of any kind - just social-media volume and a short-lived political resume.

In 2021 he publicly posted photos of his CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card, bragged about receiving the Pfizer shots, and launched repeated, profanity-laced Facebook tirades declaring that the unvaccinated deserved to suffer and die, framing their refusal as mass murder while celebrating his own moral and intellectual superiority.

Weeks after his second dose and final online attacks, the 41-year-old collapsed during a morning dog walk in late October 2021 from an “unknown medical episode” and was pronounced dead. Neighbors found him; the cause was never publicly detailed beyond the sudden nature of the event.

The same Darwinian judgment he gleefully applied to others arrived at his own doorstep with no regard for his vaccination status or smug certainty.

Another keyboard enforcer who demanded suffering for the hesitant and still got the outcome he reserved for them.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sen. Lisa Murkowski's team is absolutely livid and now threatening to file a legal complaint to the Alaska Division of Elections and Law Department, simply because James O'Keefe's team EXPOSED election vulnerabilities

They were gonna let O'Keefe vote as Murkowski's BROTHER, and one of his team members vote as Murkowski's State Director 🤯

The workers confirmed it: You don't need ID, just promise us you are who you say you are...

NEITHER of them actually went through with voting or signing forms.

Worth noting that Murkowski, who is now worried about "voter fraud," IS BLOCKING THE SAVE AMERICA ACT

MURKOWSKI STATE DIRECTOR: "I will happily include it in my complaint to the Division of Elections and the Department of Law." 🤡

You are doing America a service, @JamesOKeefeIII 👏🏻

[CJ Pearson @Cjpearson]

The same media that has dedicated an entire week to crucifying Natalie Harp, a devoted young aide to the President, never allocated a drip of ink to exploring the “relationship” between Kamala Harris and Willie Brown.

I wonder why.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)'s team is FURIOUS, indicating that James O'Keefe should face PROSECUTION because he simply exposed Alaska's voter vulnerability

Poll workers were going to let O'Keefe vote as Murkowski's BROTHER, Brian

MURKOWSKI'S OFFICE: "Voter impersonation is a crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

She opposes the SAVE America Act

And now is ATTACKING the journalist exposing why we need it.

OVER TARGET, @JamesOKeefeIII

Allen Iverson earned somewhere north of $200 million in his career.

Within a few years of retiring, it was gone. All of it.

But in 2001, Reebok did something almost nobody in the sneaker business has ever done.

They protected him from himself.

Rewind. Iverson goes first overall in the 1996 draft and immediately signs with Reebok. Ten years, $50 million.

Then in 2001 he wins MVP and drags the Sixers to the NBA Finals. He is, at that moment, one of the most influential athletes on the planet. The braids, the headband, the sleeve, the crossover.

Reebok wanted him forever. So they renegotiated into a lifetime deal.

And the structure of that deal is the whole story.

Term one: Reebok pays Allen Iverson $800,000 a year, every year, for the rest of his life. Reportedly with no ongoing promotional obligations attached.

Term two: Reebok sets aside $32 million in a private trust that Iverson cannot access until his 55th birthday.

Twenty nine years in the future at the time they signed it.

Read that again. A company deliberately gave a 26 year old LESS money up front, structured so that a huge chunk of it would be physically unreachable for three decades.

Iverson at the signing: "It shows a lot of commitment, and hopefully I can stand up to my part. I didn't have the greatest past in the world, but they always stood by me and always stood up for me when times were bad."

Then the thing everybody worried about happened.

Iverson has spoken openly about the spending. His own line about that era, describing what he was doing with his money: he was throwing fifty thousand dollars a night around.

Legal battles. A divorce. Bad management. By a couple of years after his last NBA game, the reporting was that the entire fortune was gone.

And the $800,000 a year from Reebok kept arriving anyway.

The trust sat there, untouched, growing, because it was legally impossible for anyone to spend it. Not him. Not anybody around him.

That trust unlocks on June 7, 2030, his 55th birthday. Because of the divorce settlement, reportedly about half goes to his ex-wife Tawanna. He still gets the rest.

Reebok, meanwhile, never walked away. In October 2023 they named Allen Iverson their Vice President of Basketball, working alongside Shaquille O'Neal.

Their former CEO's explanation for why they kept betting on him: he's an iconic personality, and you bring Allen Iverson into a market anywhere in the world and it means something.

There's a version of this story that's about a guy who lost $200 million.

There's a better version where a company looked at a 26 year old at the absolute peak of his fame and quietly decided to make sure he'd still be okay at 55.

They were right. And they made sure it didn't matter.

This is Christine Brennan. She's a sports columnist for USA Today. She's also a lunatic.

Brennan said that Djokovic would be remembered as a villain for not getting the Covid vaccine.

Brennan called Djokovic arrogant and clueless and she was flabbergasted that Djokovic would be willing to give up money just to remain unvaccinated.

At the end she threw in an attack on Aaron Rodgers of course, calling him a disgrace.

Djokovic was the hero in this story. Brennan and people like her were the villains.

Hey @OutFrontCNN —

Why don’t you book James Comey’s relative?

She just said she’s “thoroughly embarrassed” she ever defended him, called him an “absolute coward,” said “86 47” is a call for violence no matter how you spin it, and hopes Jim goes to jail for his crimes.

You’ve never been shy about platforming family members when it fits the narrative.

What’s the holdup this time? 🤔
