In Ep. #20, Caroline sits down with Missy Park, the CEO &amp; Founder of Title Nine. Title Nine is an American manufacturer of clothing for women athletes. Missy founded Title Nine in 1989, and has grown the brand to become the largest independently-owned and operated retailer of women's fitness clothing. Title Nine’s mission is to encourage women to own, risk, and lead in the world of sports, business, and beyond.In this episode, Missy tells the story of how she came to start Title Nine, and how the company has spent 32 years in the business of putting women first. Most recently, Missy and her team gave $1 million to the soccer players of the U.S. Women’s National Team in an effort to help close the gender pay gap for the team. By the numbers, the U.S. Women’s National Team is the most successful team in the history of international women's soccer, winning four Women's World Cup titles, four Olympic gold medals, an Olympic bronze medal, and eight CONCACAF Gold Cups. They just made it onto podium at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and took home the bronze medal. And they’re currently ranked #1 in the world by FIFA. On the other side of that coin, the United States Men’s National Soccer Team has never won a World Cup, they’ve never won any Olympic medal, and they’re currently ranked 20th in world. YET, players on the US Women’s National Team earn $9,000 less per win than the Men’s team, and over a 5-year period, the women have been paid $64 million less than their male counterparts. Essentially, is that players on the women’s national team make 38 cents for every dollar that their male counterparts make. After watching the documentary "LFG" in 2021, Missy was moved to write the biggest check in the history of Title Nine. Title Nine's donation of $1 million to the USWNT players to put the women’s team on the same pay scale as the USMNT for six games of the 2020 Olympics. This episode was recorded on August 10, 2021. More from GOALS The Business Case For Women's Sports Newsletter: Sign-upFollow GOALS on Twitter: @goals_sports_Follow GOALS on Instagram: @goals_sports_Follow GOALS on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/goals-sportsShop: goals-sports.com/shopEmail: hello@goals-sports.com

Ep. #20 How Title Nine is Working To Create a Better Sports World for Women, ft. Missy Park

In 1972, a landmark civil rights law entitled Title Nine was passed, which requires gender equality in all aspects of publicly-funded education. Missy Park was one of the first cohorts of students to benefit from Title Nine during her college career, which allowed her to play numerous collegiate sports. Following her career as a student-athlete and after working in the outdoor apparel industry for a handful of years, in 1989 Missy realized there was a massive hole in the market for women's sports apparel. So starting with a self-made mail order catalog and inventory piling up in her garage, she launched a new women's sports apparel company and called it Title Nine. Title Nine is now a multi-million dollar company with stores in states across the US and a thriving eCommerce company. On this episode, I sat down with Missy to talk gutting it through your first few years, staying independent and not taking external capital, and the best advice she has for other business leaders — oh, and there's some good stuff about parental leave in here as well.
