If I have an idea for a style of hat to be sold at all outlet stores and online can I come to you or how do I go about that?

Fanatics, it was such a privilege to host Orlando Ashford Sr on the show. We loved learning about this exciting phase of the business and being thought partners to such a talented leader.

2moGreat listen. Lots to think about and I can imagine this being very complex. I agree with the shared environment to bring complexity down in such a big organization. People do need autonomy but they crave it in different amounts in different situations dependant on the enviroment, so people can learn to grab their autonomy from somewhere else - with training and help. I like how you finished up the pod by speaking about wearing different hats and making it fun, let people know before hand. That could almost become part of the culture as the 'Fanatics Team' are aiming to win the championship Good luck in whatever transition you make Orlando
