Why dont we build the tenders business and leverage the Bucks brand and leverage like wereLow and behold, were up to two, almost going to get three locations on the Cream City Cluckery and its like a chicken tender business of which weve done relatively well.

We were sitting brainstorming like, how do we keep people employed? His friends, while the games are suspended, are trying to stay as prepared as possible. Peter: You are a genius because you use food as youre incentive and nothing better than ice cream. Peter Feigin: And you create this really confusing, frustrating, challenging environment that, Mike, when you were playing, maybe you had a few performance psychologist. So, he's at the All-Star game and I literally said, "It's too bad we're not on Zoom," because I'm holding these. "Can you imagine? Peter: Oh, my goodness. Peter: Yeah.

", Pass the sticks.We here.https://t.co/XifcyBIjFY pic.twitter.com/NFiiaWCSUb, Bucks Gaming (@BucksGG) December 14, 2017. Number one, growth is so exponentially outside the us, which is like really interesting for NBA basketball, for participation, for media, for social consumption. But in a short period of time, the prospect and the opportunity of just not running a team, but kind of building a city and the real estate and the expansion and kind of where Milwaukee was as a city and kind of an inflection point was just kind of one of these miracle situations. Thats. If you're going to go look at teams, grab my brother. Here's my conversation with Peter Feigin. Like Jeff Eisenband on Facebook. And with that, Feigin became the business brains behind a team about to set NBA standards in architecture, basketball operations and technology -- only he didn't know it. Peter: Im fairly, my mom was immersed in data analytics before data and analytics was business intelligence. Okay. I asked every good question, every dumb question you could possibly imagine to really learn. Before life as we knew it went on hiatus in March, Peter Feigin was occasionally returning to New York from Milwaukee for weekend visits and to rejoin The Run, which has become multigenerational. Youre the ultimate insider. Peter Feigin: No. By the way, its so much fun. Peter Feigin: Yeah. Anyone can read what you share. John: Hundreds. I need socks and I know we're not making them. They better know you, they better get you. Ive had so much fun and been in sports entertainment and aviation and in different things and its all been about every job Ive had incredibly, Ive said like, oh my God, could you imagine, like Ive died and gone to heaven.

We're going to build it locally, regionally, nationally and then internationally. As Feigin hones the Bucks' in-arena and digital strategy, The Giannis Effect is the guide. Peter Feigin: Well, I think, like you talked about the opportunity for a great historic organization like this to embrace a former Olympian, it's all-star, like a person who's current in the game and really is an asset. In all, about 100 players have played in The Run over the decades, some more luminous than others. Peter Feigin: Yeah, I think number one, it's restarting the business. Talk about that balance between what you do with Milwaukee and obviously, with your family, right? It would be fun to own a hundred McDonalds franchises and you guys would be great at that. How do we make this more than equal?" Because there's a lot of founders and entrepreneurs that listen to this as well and managing that dynamic with their family. What would you be doing? What a great thing. Kevin Draughon, a former student at Trevor Day School, drove on Dan Feigin, who runs the pickup games on Saturdays at the schools gym. I guarantee youll find motivation and guidance from this remarkable man. How does that, and then, with that also because this harkens back, Im old enough, youre old enough even, we remember the Michael Jordan era, he was the greatest player in the world back in his Again, you not only have one of the greatest players ever to play on the planet, but youve also created this culture of retention. You're a true friend, Peter, at least until you drop the parking ticket on me. From 2006-2014, the Bucks only made the postseason twice in eight seasons. I heard or to make the statement, are you the employee of the month? John: He was gone. But yet, still being leaders with more than a vote movement, just amazing, amazing. Ive had some of my employees have been there and they say, its just amazing, just a wonderful place to watch a sporting event and Im just talking to one this morning and he just said, Great place, just a great arena.Were not going to go through this interview without talking, of course, about Giannis. He ran companies like Alma and Posner and cosmetics. Theres no complexity. In September 2013, then-deputy commissioner Adam Silver announced that Bradley Center, the team's home since 1988, was unfit for an NBA team. "I have a 14-year-old boy who can basically tell me every single player in the NBA, as well as G-League, what Europeans are playing all through NBA 2K," Feigin says. John: Right. That was out the door. This is the Impact Podcast. Now, the lockdown has forced some of The Runs longstanding members to confront their athletic mortality. Please talk about the Cluckery because this is so much fun and I wanted you to share your whole, the vision and how this all came about. What did your dad do for a living? Peter: I think when the opportunity came and we thought it was such a good idea, we were aiming an incredible. So, I might have caught myself parking in that situation a couple of times as well and he's starting to document it, that I was a hypocrite. We hired a great human capital person to build up the structure, but it was really best practice. It looks amazing. Shout out to Sarah, who is I think one of the best assistants out there. I'm so proud of him and the team and the roster. Every Wednesday, Dan Feigin, now the director of Trevors Upper School on the Upper East Side, sends a mass email to determine who will be playing that weekend. The future for the Bucks, championship, championship, championship, and obviously getting fans back at the games. The way it works is they closed in April. How are we going to attack this?". So, how do we figure out and reorganize on the senior leadership pattern. I said, oh, its so good to get all your support. I know youve said your pops passed. And that's before you're worried about what a health scare is. If I become that guy, I dont need to play anymore. How do we build the baselines? Even though we just opened up a building two years ago, you're starting in a place where we're going to have some attrition and lose some fans and have to build equity back up and get back to basics of like building ticket sales, building everything else. It's the same way she'll listen through what I'm going through. Right? Its hundreds of rings. But the overarching is how do we maintain kind of championship caliber excellence, like across the business and across the team. We had Chris Middleton and Giannis involved in it kind of conceptually, and really fun conversations with Giannis brother Costas had just won for the Lakers the year before. Peter: Well, I think its leadership 101, youve got to grasp where you are number one, and this was a very distressed brand company position. Peter Feigin: Yeah, I think I moved, I graduated from college and had a job, had an opportunity for a job that was kind of nuts. It's a simple filter to go through things, if we have to question it, we're pretty sure its wrong," shared Feigin. I wander around the house, Feigin said in a recent telephone interview.

Peter: Yeah, so I think its here and I think its all about the customization, right. I can come up with a solution, we can figure it out somehow, some way if youve got the right people around you to do it. Right now, its very hard to figure out and understand where its going, because this is the wild West. Peter Feigin is riding his Peloton bike. I always think it comes back. Social media has created an avenue to spread the Bucks' brand beyond Milwaukee and the United States. And then I think the most incredible thing, which I can't see happening in a major metropolitan area again, is we were able to acquire 30 acres of contiguous land. Peter: is youve got to have so many opportunities and different variations to really, to really acquire different types of fans. This years edition comes stamped with the Roman numeral XXVIII, to commemorate the games 28 years of existence. We're going to develop some residential and we'll hopefully have a great commercial tenant and we continue to build. What are the balances of management, of coaching of anything else? We need to resource this place, like you cant imagine and we need to build an infrastructure that is beyond sound for growth, so not just day one. Thats good. Were going to constantly improve. Anybody who wants to joust with me or do anything, I was like, "Well, just tell me where you're against the equality. Youre physically building an arena, a district, a template for success. How could it be?" And we sat down as organization with the players, with the owners, with the executives and just said like, "Oh, we're going to double down." Kind of on a team, if you surround yourself with great players, you can figure out a way to win. You build this infrastructure and skill set that is geared toward a championship. And I'm not that much of a spiritual person, but I feel like I have been blessed/lucky 10 times more than I ever thought I'd be in my whole life. You got into really like, "How do we create resources for people to just talk about how they're feeling, about how they vent, about how do they get support for their lives?" So, then you start thinking about really building a district in a small city within a city. But usually, The Run comprises a core group of 15 to 20 players who range from 16 to 58 years old. Malcolm D. Lee, the director of the Space Jam sequel starring LeBron James, and Christopher dAmboise, a former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, are two of the games founding fathers. You got to be someone that actually that enjoys being here and part of the family culture and part of an organization. People who do argue are kind of not allowed back.. Over the years, The Run has become an indispensable part of the players weekend routines and a socioeconomic hodgepodge. Here's your Asian Americans. When you show up for the first day, are you pinching yourself? The Giannis Effect has been a product of the digital age. But for us, it's kind of like, "How do we make an equal playing field? He's also been quoted as saying he wants to play for the Bucks "forever" and he does not know if he could be "the same player" in a "flashy city." For naming rights, Feiginsaid the franchise is looking for an international brand willing to spend $7 million to $10 million annually for 20 years. Peter Feigin: They made it really simple. Peter: You got it running the 70s, 80s and 90s, yep. Im addicted now to the operating side of the challenge of constant improvement, and how would you look at an organization and dive in there and really look to re-engineer tweak, and build for revenue growth? Peter Feigin: I mean, just different ways, we started to think about doing this. Peter holds a bachelor's degree from Franklin and Marshall College and completed the University Of Chicago Booth School Of Business' Financial Executive Program. Talk about that relationship that you have with the players. "You will be in a business meeting on Monday with one of the 300-500 business executives in the town and you will see them some place later that week or the week after, unlike in New York City," he says. Peter Feigin: Yeah, I think it's kind of where is the balance? The ability to go into an NBA franchise and really pick all the great practices which is going around in the league is a huge advantage. So, that part of it was awesome. So, you take away every form of a 20- to 30-year-old's life outside of basketball, you take away their family in a big way and by the way, then you isolate them, in basically like a stay at home kind of mode in the middle of a pandemic and really like social justice, kind of uprising while they're locked into a bubble. The building will also be the focal point of a 30-acre development in downtown Milwaukee, an urban revitalization project that Feigin believes in. And we'll get into the twin in a little bit. Well the goal on the court is we want to win a championship. Thats for every aspect of it. Kevin Draughon, who participates in the games, sat with Dylan Feigin and her brother, Jackson. If you lose, that might mean you need to keep an eye on several of your friends toddlers. Last Wednesday, Milwaukee Bucks president Peter Feigin told the Rotary Club of Madison that Milwaukee is "the most segregated, racist place I've ever experienced in my life." The full quote,. If you've been that lucky and you've been that blessed then you've got to share. The one thing that's been impressive for me, being a part of the family, is seeing how you all embrace the city. Make this the best operation, the best facilities and the best place to be because we're going to go compete with everybody to win a championship and nobody's going to question how great Milwaukee is." Where is your ring? Don't talk to me, don't text me, don't come back unless you give me a pair of All-Star socks. John: No question. We had this, I think it was an intern, said to us like, Well, we should, have you read about ghost kitchens? Of course were sitting there going like, eh, kind of like, we dont know what the hell youre talking about. And at the core, I've always been a sales and marketing guy. I think if you took me at this point in my life and where I am and. Very little sympathy or empathy for pro athletes because of what they get paid. Some people dont like to hear that anymore. This is probably the best hour of the week. My fantasy, I had two fantasies growing up. So, the end of the story is I was responsible to hire CEO, so I got two or three candidates I knew Mark and Wes would hate and they couldn't hire them because they didn't like something about them. This is learning on the job, right? And I believe in my heart that the Bucks were real leaders in that moment. Peter: Weve been married like a hundred years. So, we see this great opportunity to lead by example and then to almost market and promote it as this should be more the norm than not the norm in a big way. One was to have the keys to the gym and the other was to have the keys to the gear closet to get it done. Let that person speak. "Why would we wait till tomorrow when we can get it done today?" Everythings got to be perfect to do it and dont realize because like, hey, Ive never won a championship before, never run a ring so I just started the process and I didnt realize which I now do and why our owners wanted to be intimately involved with the design of the ring. Peter: We like to be, delusionally optimistic. We've developed about 75% of it and people are living here, working here, and playing. You start with whats the goal? So first of all, the bubble was kind of like so exciting, surreal, and awesome. I've got two brothers, my mom, my other family member. He wanted to keep the team, which was a big catalyst for the whole movement.". I thought Id hit the jackpot, Feigin said. You miss throwing that pass. He trusts you to run a business and he also ethically says Dont do anything you wouldnt want on the front page of a newspaper the next day, and he means it. Do you want to like, figure out what the handles are and become aThere are lots of opportunities in that realm, which I think are immediate. Talk about that nuance because like you were saying, from the outside in, you could say all the players have it made. We have large sections that you never think about 10 years ago that people hang out at a bar, never have a seat, never, standing room only. Got it.
