I never wanted to be that guy with the goggles and the knee brace and the tucked-in shirt being like, Hey! But I think, those are the things that like, yes, you can always pay people. John: This edition of the impact podcast is brought to you by Engage. Anyone can read what you share. Our dinner table conversation. Weve got a sophomore in college and a senior in college. We've got Peter Feigin. The entire Saturday morning crew has done a few Zoom calls. The people part is always tough. And it's kind of as an adult got me to a place where I desperately want our youth to get exposed to things they wouldn't normally get exposed to because that's how they learn what's out there. Peter: got to do what youre going to say and say what youre going to do and really be substantial. So first of all, the bubble was kind of like so exciting, surreal, and awesome. He's with us today. When he called Milwaukee "the most segregated, racist place I've ever experience in my life" in 2016, Feigin was just being a straight shooter intent on improving the neighborhood.

"We are literally just scraping the surface of what can come from this," he says. Peter Feigin didn't go looking for his job as president of the Milwaukee Bucks. Michael Red: After knowing you for the last six years, personally, two qualities stand out: Extremely funny and extremely generous. Off the court it is best practice. I mean, if I didn't have real responsibilities of a family and a wife, who actually says we need to live somewhere and stuff, I could get paid in gear. Peter: You are a genius because you use food as youre incentive and nothing better than ice cream. "We know the reality is 18 months ago, no one would've said Giannis is one of the top five players in the NBA, so we've had really what we would call the Giannis Effect," Feigin explains. I mean, the fact that players had just had it is no surprise. My son was a freshman at San Joaquin Memorial High School when Brook Lopez was there and he played with Brook under coach Pat Giles. Where is your ring? Peter Feigin: Yeah, I think it's part of the culture and kind of down from ownership, like you're going to stand for something or you're going to stand for nothing. He's the president of the Milwaukee Bucks and he's a native New Yorker. Thats a stain on your career, Dan Feigin said. And I think the balance is really, really tough because you know what an NBA season is. He really taught me the lesson late in life is the real geniuses or the ones who can take these complex things and talk to me about them and I understand them. Peter: Weve been married like a hundred years. Its hundreds of rings. I think it changes the landscape. Their track record proves it. Kevin Draughon, a former student at Trevor Day School, drove on Dan Feigin, who runs the pickup games on Saturdays at the schools gym. And 24 hours later, I think I called them from the Pfister Hotel and said like, "Oh, yeah. Peter: Well, I always default to the Cluckery. We got to like we want to use our platform to affect change and change the world. It's truly like a restart. He ran companies like Alma and Posner and cosmetics. And then I think on a parallel track, youre really building an infrastructure. And also, obviously some additions with Jrue Holiday and other great players we have this year. Youre going to have a lot of fun. And they were kind of stuck at the last minute deep in the summer. And have you seen that shift a little bit in the city since Milwaukee is kind of spearheading that, the Bucks? Let them know they're part of the family. I encourage it, and selfishly, its a fun way to network and deal with people. 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. Heading into his ninth year as President of the Milwaukee Bucks, and fifth year as President of the world-class Fiserv Forum, Peter Feigin brings more than two decades of dynamic corporate leadership to Milwaukees sports and entertainment scene.

Michael Red: So, I did some research and so, the sources got back to me. When they talk about Milwaukee, theyre like, Are you kidding me? This is the best place Ive ever been. We go from that answer where we know how important it is because the winters here suck. We built an infrastructure, to our owners' credit on, they made it really simple. 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. How do we talk beyond just coming to Milwaukee, but how do we do business together? We're going to build it locally, regionally, nationally and then internationally. Then I think as we keep exploring and kind of whats happening with online gambling and whats happening with NFTs and whats happening in the ticketing business, that it all evolves with technology, will be really interesting. It's there is no time balance, so it's kind of surreal. If you've been that lucky and you've been that blessed then you've got to share. I just think were just laughing that its so great to have, we have an ice cream Wednesday where its supposed to be Tuesdays, but we incentivize to ride his ice cream truck around the floor and around the facility to do a break. Give Light and the People Will Find Their Own Way. 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. It's hard to build trust here and it's provincial. And everyone was thrilled when Keefe showed up. Daniel connected the partners with Peter, then chief marketing and revenue officer of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, to analyze the franchise from a sales and development angle. Talk about the importance of having diversity in the front office particularly. And really build sports entertainment and residential and commercial around it and really have an urban development company that is fueled by the strength of a brand of an NBA team. His company, Fortress Investment Group, also owns the eSports team FlyQuest. Peter Feigin on the Fiserv Forum, Sports Betting, and the Impact of Giannis WHRB News March 3, 2019 .

But then theres, in this group weve got 300 full-time people and 250 of them are involved in volunteering. Listen, for the rest of my life, having a boycott for the game in the bubble where we put a pause in the world. Their experience is basketball. I think one of the big skills is, I definitely do not know the answer to everything and if youre able to Basically I do think I can solve anything. In business it takes a real challenging of like where your growth is going to come from I in a big way. This is probably the best hour of the week. And I know you had a background in marketing and you worked with the Knicks at certain points in your career. Peter: Yeah, I think number one is to explain kind of a small market. Youve got Wes Edens who has probably started up dozens of companies in private equity and has an unbelievable kind of entrepreneurial spirit. You really need to build equity and build trust especially in the Midwest youve. I think if I had kind of the listening skills that I still need to get better at, I would be better at kind of understanding. I got to talk about the journey to the Bucks though. "It's going to be a blow-away experience beyond expectations for anybody that's been to a pro sporting event in the state of Wisconsin, that's for sure," Feigin says. To learn more about the world championship, Milwaukee Bucks, you can find Peter and all of his colleagues and the players and all their stats @bucks.com, bucks.com. Before we get talking about all the amazing things you've done in basketball, and just coming off amazing championship. Lasry, 60, had already become less of a regular presence in recent years. This is learning on the job, right? Not like how to just excel in basketball. Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin received the Crystal Living Legend award from founders of the Black Inventors Gallery at a meet-and-greet with business leaders Wednesday. This kind of like, "Why are we looking at other people's metrics? Going back into the past is something I wanted to ask you about. Youve got Jamie Dimon, who is this incredible long-term equity holder who is done it and then youve got Mike Fascitelli whos really was the chairman and CEO of Vornado Real Estate in New York on the commercial real estate side.

Peter Feigin has been the President of the Milwaukee Bucks since October 2014. "We were, time-wise, kind of lucky," Feigin says with a laugh. There's no business." When Khris was a rookie, I said, "Do you know whose jersey you wearing?" Theyre going to look at that ring forever and remember that. How do we keep driving? Peter: Which like, by the way, might evolve to 20%, 30% of an arena at some point. She is like, "We're in this together." You build this infrastructure and skill set that is geared toward a championship. A lot of fun. Peter is a native New Yorker. So, it's a little bit kind of nuts and delusional to go through thinking like you can kind of accomplish or solve or get anything done, but it's kind of the way I've kind of attacked life in a big way. And I really do think like so powerful and so great, because it really accelerated the chipping away of this systematic racism, if nothing else, brought it to the forefront and the top of discussion in mind. It is the "snow equivalent to STORM SHIELD" - a great new product that gives you high resolution snow forecasts for any part of the nation! Lee, 50, has worked to keep in shape by doing yoga and shooting hoops in his backyard. But youve not only lived the dream but also climb to the mountain and very few win a championship. 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. 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." Peter Feigin: These are all massive, huge, systematic problems for generations that we've got to chip away from every day. And people like Wisconsinites are close to imagine a fast-talking New Yorker coming in and kind of standing on the soapbox promising the world and kind of great change and a great building. Peter: NIL has no guardrails, no anything whos getting paid what? How could it be?" I think we had like, "Oh, we had decent amount of African Americans. I became the president of the company for a number of years, and then we got absorbed by NetJets and took on that role at NetJets for a couple of years, and really learned incredibly, had this opportunity to learn P&L and operational. By the way, part of the culture here and part of the DNA is, before you come in and before you, youve got to want to be involved. So, I'm, as you know, extremely excitable and just want to kind of attack it and love the challenge. This was just the very beginning, the first thought was, "Oh, boy. Peter Feigin: And make a long story short, I went with him, I think, the first trip was to Philadelphia and we looked at the Sixers and then we looked at probably 10 other teams over the next decade.

Kevin Draughon, who participates in the games, sat with Dylan Feigin and her brother, Jackson. Wednesday, June 20 7:00 AM And I think of it, Michael, to answer the second part, it's like we thought we were woke. Now, youre talking to your wife and your children and youre moving from New York City to Wisconsin. It would be fun to own a hundred McDonalds franchises and you guys would be great at that. We've got one of the global sports stars in the world. Our owners, when you talk about, our active operating board of governors, youve got guys like Mark Lazari who kind of in avenue capital and ran the distressed debt world. Peter: Well, its having like Ive always said, people talk about their personal board of directors and what that is and I had the advantage and still have the advantage of my mother being the best consultant you could possibly have. So, I can't be too vocal, because if the owners knew how valuable it was that, I conceptually run a retail operation with thousands of pieces of apparel. That school happens to be the place where all of Mark Lazari and Wes Edenss kids went, who are the owners of the Bucks. We thought we were a progressive, pretty forward thinking organization. He notes that with the Bucks also opening a G League team calledthe Wisconsin Herdthis past fall, there was internal debate about making the investment, but Edens was a notable force moving the decision forward.

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. Then she just starts laughing. Peter is a serious businessman and a hilarious friend. And obviously, you have dealt with a little bit of this with Sterling Brown a couple years ago, so you guys happened to prepare for this a little bit. This guy is a relentless workaholic who is selfless to his teammates and like wants to win. Post-acquisition were in an interesting time in life where my dad had been ill for a while and there was no way I was going to move to Milwaukee or take, even have the prospect of taking a job because I wanted to stay in New York and be with my father. Thats. And kind of like who are intrinsically becoming Buck stars and having them be our influencers around the world and thinking about global campaign. Youre going to have to work your butt off because its work. I actually read a whole story, theres a whole article, Peter, about your ring. How do we become attractive and bring more companies here and bring more empty nesters and college graduates and make this a really attractive place to live.

I didn't need to do anything. Peter: I went to Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. So, I don't think uncommon to probably everybody and certainly every leader, everybody who has a real responsibility, the last 12 months were like nothing we could have ever imagined, we could have ever thought about and really reacted to. And I believe in my heart that the Bucks were real leaders in that moment. John: What did you study? You talk about your operating board committee, youve got these Masters of the Universe, and really you start with the answer. Peter: The ice cream truck. How big a deal it is to renovate downtown, and how big we can become and what a billboard the Milwaukee Bucks should be for Wisconsin around the world. You can imagine, yes, Id rather be in Miami for 180 days, no question.
