“I still want to be a sneaker designer, to this day.” Spoken like a true sneakerhead. Rah Mahtani describes himself as a “curious sh-t starter” — driven by creativity, curiosity and a willingness to disrupt to get results. I had read about Rah before we ever met. His Syracuse Industrial Design background, career journey and love of sneakers made him a natural guest for my Signature Shoe Playbook and Professional Development courses. There was only one catch: I had never met him. We met just before class, then let the conversation fly. I love that challenge - and with the best guests, it feels seamless. Rah was one of them. Now Head of Marketing and Commercial Strategy, US at Alibaba.com, Rah talked about what he looks for in people: curiosity - especially about the business and customer - and proactivity. Our Falk students showed both - with great questions and ideas for continuing the conversation after class. Rah has built an incredible career. But I loved that there’s still a fire in him to live out his initial dream. Design sneakers. I wouldn’t bet against him. P.S. Rah’s Top 3 Hall of Fame Shoes of All Time? Jordan 1, Jordan 3, Kobe 4. My top 2 are Jordan 1 and Rose 3. What are your top 2 or 3? 🎥 The Awesome @isabela.cobley. #falkcollegeofsport #syracuseu

Feeling incredibly blessed for opportunities like this. Julia and I got to represent COZY on the main stage at Alibaba CoCreate 2026 in Los Angeles. 16k+ people attended CoCreate this year and somehow our little refrigerated snack bar brand was up there sharing our story. We got to talk about how this all started during my cancer journey, when Julia began making these bars for me at home. At the time, building a food company wasn’t even a thought. I was focused on getting healthy and getting my life back. Now that same bar has taken us places I never could have imagined. And as someone who grew up playing and loving basketball, getting to speak on the same stage as Magic Johnson made this one even more special. We’re still small. We’re still figuring things out every day. We’re making bars, doing demos, working farmers markets, visiting stores, taking meetings and saying yes to opportunities that can move us forward. There was a point in my life where I had no idea what the future was going to look like. Now I get to build something I believe in every day with my wife and watch something that came out of one of the hardest chapters of my life turn into something bigger than we ever expected. CoCreate was one of those moments that reminded me just how much life can change. Huge thank you to the entire Alibaba team for believing our story was worth putting on the main stage. Grateful for all of it. God is good. 🙏

I had an awesome time at Alibaba’s CoCreate 2024 where I got to spend time with incredibly inspiring entrepreneurs and creators from all over the world. I had the pleasure of judging the Pitch the Pros competition alongside some rockstar business leaders and entrepreneurs. We were able to give cash prizes out to 5 winners and spend some time offering advice and mentorship. I also got the opportunity to walk around through all of the booths at the conference on live stream with 5 million viewers (crazy!), meeting businesses of all different sizes and backgrounds. I loved being able to meet so many past and future Kickstarter creators as well. Lastly, I had the honor of closing out the conference with the final keynote conversation for Alibaba’s B2B Breakthrough podcast where we discussed how entrepreneurs looking to launch new companies and products can use @Kickstarter - including Alibaba sellers 😉 Thank you to @alibaba.com_official for having me 🙏🏾
