We're like the top three made in Italy Italian sneaker brands out there.

It didn't matter if I got paid or made money from this.

I was going to do this regardless.

I was just a sneaker collector like the rest of us.

I have Nick Sissimbath who has built an eight-figure brand through sneakers and now even venturing off into clothing.

Every drop you do, the things sell out.

Nowadays we're $40 more than a pair of Nikes, but it's made in Italy. It speaks for itself.

The link you have in your bio is not a link to your website. It's a link to the Discord.

Because at the end of the day, there's so many brands, so many products out there. Why choose Collegia?

Because community first and then sales second. Like how did you even know that? Like I'm not going to first build something I want to sell.

I want to build something people want to be a part of.

I hope people can actually resonate this or else I'm going to sound crazy.

Welcome to the department.

It's Omar's Corey.

And we interview people who are killing it in their department.

I'm so excited to be having on one of my favorite founders of a sneaker

company. I literally have over five pairs of collegium shoes. I have Nick Sissimbath, who has

built an eight-figure brand through sneakers and now even venturing off into clothing. And honestly,

one of my favorite people to follow online and just to see how inspirational his story is.

And we're going to get into how you can actually build a business or a brand that people love

to buy from. And so, bro, I'm so excited that you said yes to this. No, I appreciate you guys having me.

I haven't done a podcast or interview in quite a minute. so I figured, like, let's give it another rodeo.
