Mountaintop Conversations By Saysh

When seven-time Olympic champion Allyson Felix was counted out by her then-sponsor, Nike, she decided to take a risk: speak out, stand up for herself, and advocate for others. After finding her voice and parting ways with Nike, Allyson and her brother Wes Felix wanted to make women feel valued and seen and created Saysh, a lifestyle brand for women.

When thinking about their why, they kept returning to former First Lady Michelle Obama’s concept of “the mountaintop.”

On Mountaintop Conversations, Allyson and Wes speak to iconic leaders, entrepreneurs, and activists about the experiences—good and bad—that have made a lasting impact on their lives. We dive into our awe-inspiring guests’ stories and discuss what it took to get to where they’re at today and how they’re extending their hand to help the next generation reach their own mountaintop.

Welcome to the conversation.

Melody Ehsani never knew she could do all the things she’s done to date, as a designer, and as a creative director. Early on, she had every intention of becoming a lawyer, but that career trajectory didn’t fulfill her. Instead of following a predetermined path and repeating familial history, Melody decided to live for herself and turned to design to express herself in ways she hadn’t been able to before.

In this episode of Mountaintop Conversations, Melody discusses how she became a designer, the importance of self-awareness, practicing listening, creating groundedness, and how she hopes the sneaker and design industry will continue to grow and become more inclusive by embracing femininity.
