Four years have come and gone since our first Athletikan sneaker launch. It’s been a journey to get to this point, but it’s only the start. After coming up with a concept for an athleisure sneaker to compete with the big players in the market, I reached out to my friend Joe Tambo, of whom[…]

2019 is a super important year for me. I’ve enjoyed terrific success in the last 4 or 5 years & now is not the time to rest on my laurels. Rather, it’s the time to continue building on the platform that I’ve created and consolidate my position. 2018 was another successful year, but it came[…]

It’s that time of the year. The dust has started to settle on 2017 and people are reflecting on their year, what they have achieved & the ups and down that come with. 2017 has been a crazy year for me. If you’ve been following along my journey you probably know what I’ve been up[…]
2017 has been a huuuuge year in many ways. I’ve succeeded, I’ve failed, I’ve launched a new business & learnt a lot. Here’s a snapshot of my 2017… UNCLE JACK Launched 27 new watch styles Hired 4 new employees Signed a distribution agreement which will see UNCLE JACK placed in 130 stores by this time[…]
