A few months ago, we introduced you to VaynerSpeakers, our speakers bureau that’s been quietly reshaping how the industry works.
As a company that represents voices defining the next generation of business thinking, they collaborated with the New York Stock Exchange to create a platform for people who are actually moving the needle in markets, culture, and how business gets done.
The result is Voices of the Now & Next, a series of unfiltered conversations with founders and operators who are building in real time.
The Conversations So Far
The series launched with Ty Haney, founder of Outdoor Voices. Ty’s been refreshingly transparent about her journey—the wins, the public setbacks, and what it actually takes to rebuild when everyone’s watching. It was honest in a way most founder conversations aren’t, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
Next came Songe LaRon, co-founder and CEO of Squire, filmed on the NYSE trading floor. Songe built a tech platform that’s modernizing the barbershop industry—an entire vertical Silicon Valley ignored. He brought operational infrastructure to a business that runs on relationships and culture, and he did it without losing what makes barbershops matter. His perspective on building where culture and commerce intersect is exactly why this collaboration exists.
Then Bobbi Brown. After building and selling her namesake brand to Estée Lauder, she could’ve walked away. Instead, she came back and launched Jones Road Beauty—a brand built on her terms, for a customer the industry kept overlooking. Her story is proof that reinvention isn’t about starting over; it’s about knowing what you stand for and refusing to compromise.
And now, our latest: Ndamukong Suh. The five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, engineer, and investor didn’t just dominate on the field—he’s built a portfolio spanning real estate, tech investments, and community development. Suh represents a new generation of athletes who see their platform as the beginning, not the end. His approach to business is as strategic and disciplined as his game, and his conversation reveals what happens when elite performance meets long-term vision.
