EP 7: The Diary of Reggie Pharr: Knowing When to Flip


Listen Later

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. 

👟 What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

  • His first flip: a pair of sneakers he took from his sister’s room

  • What’s changed in the sneaker resale world since he started

  • The sneaker drop that made more money than he imagined

  • Thoughts on when to walk away from a job—or a shoe

  • Advice for anyone trying to flip their way to freedom or transition careers

🔥 Whether you’re flipping kicks or flipping life chapters, this episode is for you.
