In this episode, we sit down with Reggie Pharr, owner of BSKix, who’s been in the sneaker flip game for over 17 years—long before StockX and GOAT made it mainstream. But that’s only half the story. By day, he’s a firefighter, risking his life to protect others. By night (and sometimes at 4 a.m. drops), he’s hunting heat and flipping pairs that pay.
We talk about the flips that flopped, the ones that changed everything, and how the hustle of reselling sneakers parallels the pivot of switching careers. Whether you’re deep in the resale trenches or figuring out your career path, like Reggie as he learned how to code, this episode has something for you.
