Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Hello and welcome to how I built this lab. I'm Guy Raz. Alison Felix is one of the greatest athletes. Of all time in fact. She is the most decorated American track and field athlete in history.

When she ran in the Tokyo Olympics, She did so without a shoe sponsor. And it happened because her previous, Nike, offered Allison a contract that she felt was a lowball. And so Allison decided to do something

totally unconventional. She made her own shoe and she became the first Olympic athlete to run in a shoe that Was her own brand. The idea came from Allison's brother and business partner, Wes Felix. And now they turn that single idea into a shoe brand called Seish.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
