The Wild Collective (We Are The Wild Co). We dive into how a Vegas mom and lifelong fashion lover stumbled into licensed sportswear—starting with the Vegas Golden Knights—and built a national brand that now appears in stadiums across the country and major retailers like Target, Anthropologie, Free People, PacSun, Tillys, Fanatics, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

In this conversation, Whitney shares:

The origin story: hotel merch on the Strip to Golden Knights gear, then chasing league licenses and landing an NFL Raiders collaboration

Why she pioneered unisex silhouettes in a market that underserved women, and how streetwear changed the playbook

How she uses LinkedIn to open doors with buyers, CEOs, and partners—and why she’s called the “LinkedIn queen”

B2B vs. DTC: selling in every stadium while growing e-commerce at wearethewildco.com

Work–life balance at startup scale: bringing her husband in as COO, building an 8+ person team, and planning growth around seasonal sports timelines

What’s next: expanding into non-licensed fashion, dream collabs (Stüssy, New Balance), and the possibility of a certain magical license on the horizon

Lightning round: favorite teams to design for, game-day style, and the cult-favorite JA cardigans that sell out in minutes

Reunited and it feels… a little chaotic. In this catch-up episode, the girls spill on recent trips (Albania, London, Boston, Salem), a spontaneous Beverly Hills Hotel detour, why Albania is gorgeous but the Riviera menus need work, and how Salem’s history tours and Hocus Pocus houses live up to the hype.

What we get into

Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, London, Borough Market

Food highs/lows across the Balkans

Boston vs. New York, Harvard campus, Fenway memories

Salem witch-trial history, historic homes, spooky season must-dos
