We're airing the first five episodes of last year.

The idea here is to look back.


00:33

Speaker 1
At the way things were at the.


00:34

Speaker 2
Beginning of 2023 before we kick off 2024. We'll be back next week with all new episodes.

Enjoy. I'm David Brown and this is Business wars daily on this Tuesday, January 10, January it's a month of new beginnings where we look forward to the year ahead. And if you're part of the annual January gym Spike, it could also be a month of tender muscles and other workout related aches and pains. The difference this year is that tennis champion Serena Williams has your sore back and your sore quads and biceps and abs, too. Williams has launched a new line of topical products for the weekend warriors and active athletes among us. As a world renowned competitor, Williams knows a thing or two about recovery from intense workouts and matches. Her line, called will perform launches with four topical pain relief and muscle care products. The best athletes are the best because they recover the best, Williams told Fast Company magazine.

She also said that it's important to her that the products be affordable since, quote, the way I grew up, a lot of things weren't accessible to me. Products are less than $15 each and available online or at Target stores. Williams had help with the line. She partnered with consumer products pros Hank Mercier and Eric Ryan. Ryan helped create the brand's method and Ollie, among others, which helps when you're taking on category giants like Icy Hot, which is owned by healthcare giant Sanafi Willperform is trying to muscle its way into the space by touting benefits like being cruelty free and clean. Plus, these roll ons and bombs reportedly smell better than competitor icy Hot's well known medicinal aroma. Speaking of Icy Hot, the company has its own relationship with another elite athlete, one Shaquille O'Neill.

Introducing icy hot pro ice works fast to freeze your pain and your doubt. Heat makes it last, so you'll never sit this one out.

O'Neill has been the brand spokesperson for roughly two decades, and now the basketball star and the pain products line are bringing relief in another way. A few months back, the Shaquille O'Neill foundation and Icy Hot unveiled the second project in their joint comeback court initiative, which refurbishes basketball courts that need some TLC. The first court was open last year in Las Vegas, and another court was unveiled earlier this year in O'Neill's hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Of course, it makes sense to have high profile athletes associated with pain relief brands. After all, who knows about recovery more than someone who's trained hard and competed at the top of their game? For most of us, though, these products provide a little relief after we've overdone it. But feeling like our gym routine gives us something in common with Serena or Shaq.
