In this episode, we welcome Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin: a distinguished businessman and social justice advocate known for spearheading several multibillion-dollar direct-to-consumer ventures, specifically in licensed merchandise, trading cards, and sports betting. Michael provides meaningful insights into the common pitfalls in brand building, loving what you do, and the flaws of the United States criminal justice system.

Michael shares how his journey in entrepreneurship began, his eyewitness account of unfairness in the American court system, working with Meek Mill, Jay-Z, and Desiree Perez of Roc Nation to spearhead the Reform Alliance, and how to balance work and family life.

So cool to know that Fanatics isn't just a great name for a business that caters to fans...but Michael Rubin really is a "fanatic" when it comes to life, business, and entrepreneurship. It's inspiring, because he's authentic.

We need an assertive class from Mr. Rubin, dude is the real deal.

As a person that is putting my business together (for the first time) and have zero experience and am very scared, this motivated and helped me to continue and keep going forward

He's pretty inspiring but I'm trying to figure out why he was slacking off the first 7 years of his life.

This resonate with me don't be afraid to fail or your never going to take the shot. I have missed out on alot of business opportunities because I was afraid that I would fail.

Hey Jay, awesome interview.." no but!!! Just go for it" Am an entrepreneur in startup stage...in the phase of Collaborating Connecting... I feel stock lacking the motivation from not being around like minded people. Would love an interview with entrepreneur's who struggled with this and able to find that team to connect and Collaborating.

Ekla Chalo Re (Rabindranath Tagore) If they answer not to your call walk alone If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall, O thou unlucky one, open your mind and speak out alone. If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness, O thou unlucky one, trample the thorns under thy tread, and along the blood-lined track travel alone. If they shut doors and do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm, O thou unlucky one, with the thunder flame of pain ignite your own heart, and let it burn alone. . This poem & it's creator needs invasion..🔥🔥😤😤

Why did you choose to go with Jay-Z's business partner instead of saying Michael Rubin?
