Allyson Felix Took On Corporate Sports—and Won | Welcome To The Party

Abby Wambach, Billie Jean King, and Julie Foudy welcome Allyson Felix—the most decorated American track & field athlete in history—to the first episode of Welcome to the Party. Allyson opens up about how she stood up to Nike and, in turn, helped rewrite the future of women’s sports. We dive into her shoe brand, Saysh, and Always Alpha—the two women-first companies she founded—and get her to spill the tea on how she’s putting Melinda French Gates’ $20 million grant to work. And because it’s a party, we brought friends: Mia Hamm, Coco Gauff, and Mikaela Shiffrin drop in with questions for “Ask the Kinger”—GOATs ask GOAT edition! Thank you, @MiaHamm—we didn’t see that one coming. 00:00 – Welcome to the Party 04:22 – Party Starters: Marta, Mboko, Katie Ledecky 19:00 – The Party: Allyson Felix 51:48 – GOATs – Ask the GOAT: Mia, Coco, and Mikaela Show Notes: Follow @welcometothepartyshow on: YouTube —    / @welcometothepartyshow   Instagram —   / welcometothepartyshow   TikTok —   / welcometothepartyshow   Go Deeper Saysh — Allyson’s women-first shoe brand: https://saysh.com/ Always Alpha — Allyson’s management company for women athletes and coaches: https://always-alpha.com/ She Runs the World — Allyson’s documentary (Tribeca): https://tribecafilm.com/films/she-run...
