Sun, 29 Jul 2018 - 1h 02min - 28 - 4: How The Roots Of Fight Clothing Brand Went Viral
When I saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wearing a retro Mike Tyson T-shirt at the gym on Instagram I was pumped! I reached out to Jesse Katz who is co-founder of Roots of Fight which is a clothing brand that’s gone viral. I wanted to learn about the vision of the brand and potential lessons entrepreneurs could learn from his journey. “When The Rock first tweeted wearing one of our shirts my phone almost exploded. We couldn't plan that,” said Katz. The Rock’s post had a measurable social media impact. That single post garnered over a half million likes and within two years they’ve racked up 168,000 organic followers on Instagram. [caption id="attachment_196" align="alignnone" width="909"] The Rock's Instagram[/caption] The brand has licensing deals for clothing with legendary fighters including Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and Bruce Lee. Roots of Fight shines a light on athletes who paved the way for the contemporary fighters that came before them. Jesse’s business partner, Richard Lawley, is the creative genius. The duo have extraordinary access, they’re literally sitting at Bruce Lee’s desk sifting through images and video archives. They’re able to use these assets and translate these moments into an aesthetic that captures moments in time and the ethos behind them. They’ve also crafted short documentaries with the timeless footage which is available on their YouTube channel. [youtubevid id="GI2b35SJYy4"] Jesse’s background was a unique recipe for the brand he’s so passionate about. His work ethic was cemented at a young age helping his father prepare tax returns after school. Then he pitched in helping his brother with his T-shirt printing company and later assisted with the financials. Jesse later took the model of the clothing company and created a full service marketing agency. His clients were breweries which he helped forge sports marketing partnerships with leagues like the NHL and the NBA. That experience helped him establish relationships in the sporting world. The tipping point was when Fox struck a deal with UFC that would bring the fight world to mainstream audiences on network television. By this time Jesse and his partner had a proof of concept and Jesse had many connections in the UFC and in the fight world. His past experience in clothing retail, branding and sports marketing would come full circle. Jesse and his team have a great rolodex of people that are supportive of their brand and have big audiences. You can catch Dana White, president of the UFC, wearing the Roots of Fight clothing during weigh-ins and at fights. Others celebrities wearing the gear are Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ronda Rousey and Theo Rossi. Incredibly, none of them are paid for endorsements.
[caption id="attachment_198" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Theo Rossi[/caption] Jesse’s advice to any entrepreneur is to first focus on building a brand and not maximizing profitability initially. In addition to awareness you need distribution, marketing, and great products. You need to have a full array of business in order for social to have an impact on ROI. By the time The Rock got wind of Roots of Fight they had an arsenal of 40 athletes signed with the foundation of the business in motion. As Jesse articulates, “We built the company on the philosophy of hitting singles. We don't try to hit home runs or make a billion dollars. We're trying to grow something great while staying true to the integrity of what we're trying to build.” In a world where brands are looking for shortcuts, Roots of Fight is paying homage to legendary fighters while carefully scaling the business at their own pace. “We laugh when we see brands talk about technical fabrics like the new shoe weighing one ounce less,” Katz exclaimed. “We play footage of Muhammad Ali running in unlaced combat boots, thick heavy sweatshirts and a cotton towel around his neck. The greatest athletes of all time trained in the absolute minimum. It was all about effort, they were motivated in a different way.” When I’m wearing my Tyson shirt in the gym I’m inspired with an extra shot of adrenaline because I’m reminded of Katz’s lesson from the champion:
“Mike Tyson would jog at 4 a.m. because he knew his opponent wasn’t doing that. You’re wearing the clothing of someone who trained harder than you can imagine.”Interested in hearing the entire interview? Click this link for the podcast episode on iTunes.
Wed, 20 Jan 2016 - 27 - Mike Robbins On Trusting The Moment And Getting Out Of Your Own WayListen to it on iTunes Stream it by clicking here Listen to it on Sticher “Self-care is fundamental to not only our personal well-being but also to our relationships with the people closest to us.” Mike Robbins shared these important words at a recent workshop I attended, yet I still struggled to keep my eyeballs open from the exhausting (yet rewarding) sleepless nights of having a newborn baby, and far too many energy drinks to make up for it. “Self-care,” I thought? “Sign me up!” Mike is a keynote speaker and he’s delivered multiple inspiring TEDx Talks on various topics like the one I heard on “Authenticity”. He’s written three books and his latest is titled Nothing Changes Until You Do. It’s filled with short stories that serve as a guide for self-compassion and getting out of your own way. In one of my favorite chapters he discusses how it’s important to take good care of ourselves, and how we often perceive self-care as being selfish or something we should do once we get everything else done. It empowers us to be more available and generous with the people around us in an authentic way, while modeling to them how we want to be treated. As Michael Bernard Beckwith says, “The Golden Rule is ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ Mike Robbins relays The Platinum Rule which is ‘How I treat myself trains others how to treat me.” Prior to his speaking career, Mike played baseball in college at Stanford where he was later drafted by the Kansas City Royals. After a few seasons in the minor leagues, Mike injured his arm which abruptly ended his baseball career. [caption id="attachment_174" align="aligncenter" width="492"] Mike Robbins[/caption] I recently interviewed Mike to learn about his journey from being an athlete to becoming a self-help guru. Mike said the defining moment for him was when he read a book by Richard Carlson titled Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff; it changed his life. It helped him make the transition as he started a new chapter in his career by learning not to take things too seriously and avoid getting too stressed out. He was so inspired by Richard’s work that soon thereafter he launched his business to empower people and organizations through speaking and writing. Admittedly, Mike was so busy trying to make it as a ball player he didn’t appreciate the journey. “If who you are is what you do, then when you don’t, you aren’t,” he said. “As an athlete you’re singularly focused on mastering your craft. Your identity is tied to your external accomplishments, and when my career suddenly ended because of my injury I felt deflated.” It sparked the idea for his first book about appreciation because he forgot to appreciate his journey as a ball player until it was over. Mike felt compelled to get in touch with best-selling author, Richard Carlson. He wrote him a letter expressing his gratitude and told him about his dream of becoming an author and speaker. Richard was kind enough to respond and offered his advice. Richard became Mike’s mentor early on in his career, and he wrote the forward for his first book, Focus on the Good Stuff. “One of the things I ultimately learned from Richard’s life was the importance of presence. He really lived what he taught. He was a very grounded, peaceful, and present guy. You wouldn't have known he's a mega best-selling author. What he was really interested in was who you were, and connecting with you in the moment.” Tragically, Richard passed away at the age of 45 when he suffered a pulmonary embolism during a flight. It’s a relationship Mike is deeply grateful for and his legacy lives on through his work. Mike’s book proposal for Focus on the Good Stuff was rejected 25 times. Three years into the making his literary agent said it’s time to move on. Mike had an epiphany, he was waiting for permission. “I’m writing this book and publishing it myself if I have to, he exclaimed." His agent said she had three more publishers she’s waiting to hear back from and to hold off for a few days. Suddenly, the same proposal that was rejected 25 times was accepted by all three publishers! “Something shifted inside of me and I was finally ready. Everyone can relate, when we’re really ready the universe aligns.” I couldn’t help feeling inspired as I concluded my interview with Mike. His life experience of working hard to play a professional sport only to lose the dream because of an injury is common, yet Mike gained powerful perspective that led him to continue on and impact many more lives than he ever could have by simply playing ball. It was obvious that his passion from speaking comes from having fun, connecting with his audience and “focusing on the good stuff.” When I concluded the interview with the question, “What do you think defines an impacting speech?” he shared his philosophy that there are three kinds of speeches: “There are the ones you plan to do, the ones you actually do, and the ones you wish you would have done when it's over. No one knows what you plan on saying, they only know what you do say. An impacting speech comes from authenticity and is really about trusting and being in the moment.” So with that sound advice, I gave my own “authentic” speech to Mike, trusting him in the moment and saying, “Brother, I appreciate your time more than you know and I’m walking away with many valuable nuggets; however, I need to give myself some of the self-care you evangelize and go get some rest! There are more diapers to change tomorrow!” Interested in hearing the entire interview? Click this link for the podcast episode on iTunes.Wed, 20 Jan 2016
