Serena Williams may be one of the highest-paid athletes, according to Forbes — and the only woman to crack the top 100 — but she says she’s never been motivated by the money.

“I’ve actually never played for money — I just thought you would go out there and hold a trophy,” Williams said on “Kneading Dough,” the personal-finance video series produced by LeBron James’ media company, Uninterrupted.

“Not once did I think about a check,” Williams told sports business manager Maverick Carter.

“I just played for the love of the sport,” said Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slam events, one fewer than the world-record holder Margaret Court. It comes as no surprise then that when Williams received her first million-dollar check she kept it safely in the bank.

“I never touched [the money] — just put it in the bank,” she said. “And I remember I went through the drive-thru to deposit my check, and then they were like, ‘I think you need to come in for this,’ and so I ended up going inside … ‘Just put it in my account!'”

The 35-year-old, whose career prize money tops $ 84 million, credits her parents with teaching her about the value of money at a young age.

“I never ever ever felt broke,” she told Carter in the video. “Looking back, I’m like, wow, we lived in a two-bedroom house with seven people … I don’t know how my parents were able to make me feel that way, but they did, and that was something really special. So I never felt when I came into money that I needed to go buy this [or that] because I never wanted it, so it was a great way [to grow up].”

Williams also said her father and longtime coach was “always hands-on” but never demanded a fee or a cut of her earnings, and he told her it was up to her to decide how she would spend her money.

“Since I was a teenager I’ve made every financial decision in my life, and I’ve had to learn how to make good ones and how to make bad ones, and it helps you make better ones,” she said.

CHAMBÉRY, France — If you don’t have a lot, make do with what you’ve you got.

That’s how the American pro cycling team Cannondale-Drapac has been operating for years on its shoestring budget.

Its manager, Jonathan Vaughters, has had to lead his top-level team with what he’s referred to as a “Moneyball” strategy, in reference to the baseball bestseller. His organization has an annual budget of about $ 15 million, about one-third of defending Tour de France champion Chris Froome’s Team Sky. That’s meant he’s had to find riders who have untapped potential, and who he can afford to sign.

Cannondale-Drapac’s top rider, Rigoberto Urán, the team’s only million-dollar athlete, won the Tour’s biggest stage here on Sunday, and the Colombian climbing ace now has a decent shot at getting on the podium in Paris, one or two steps behind the three-time winner Froome.

Vaughter’s roll of the dice in signing Urán last year is paying off wonderfully. But it’s not a strategy that’s always worked. Last year the team went into the Tour with French star Pierre Rolland, but he failed to crack the top 15.

As brilliant as Urán’s victory was, it was not a shocker to any of the team’s sports directors, or Vaughters. They knew he was good coming into this race. They’d said he was fresh and lean and hungry. And he delivered big time, climbing with Froome and other favorites over unforgiving climbs and then capping it off with a wild stage win after a problem with his bike’s rear derailleur left him with just two gears, versus the usual 22, going into the final sprint, which he won by a hair in a photo finish.

Relief, and renewed hope

Urán’s stage win was the team’s first in the Tour in years, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Vaughters is looking for a new title sponsor for next year, and he and his team are making their case.

In May, Rolland won a stage in the Giro d’Italia while American Andrew Talansky won a stage in the Tour of California before taking third overall. All things considered, it’s been a very good year for the team.

Speaking with Business Insider on the team bus before stage nine concluded, Vaughters talked about his team’s finances as he watched the race on TV as the riders sped down into Chambéry — with occasional shouts of “Go, Rigo!” peppering his analysis of where the team stands.

“The basic situation is that Cannondale and Drapac both want to stick around,” Vaughters said. “There’s no question of them wanting to continue. But the reality of this team on the budget that those two sponsors can provide, we really run on the ragged thin edge of really being able to carry on as a WorldTour team.” (The WorldTour is cycling highest level.)

“This year we were able put it together with duct tape and bubble gum, but we really need a corporation that wants this level of branding and publicity and content generation to step in and be the primary name. Otherwise we’re in the difficult situation of deciding whether we want to bootstrap and duct-tape it along, or whether we can’t do that any more.”

Vaughters said he had a number of “superstrong leads” and that it’s a matter of one of them signing.

“The conversations are super-advanced and I’m hopeful, but until it’s signed on the dotted line, it’s a bit of a question mark,” Vaughters told Business Insider. “Large nonendemics, I feel that’s the only sustainable way for this team.”

A nonendemic sponsor is one that is not involved in cyclnig directly. The idea is that a big corporation outside cycling will reach a bigger audience and hopefully have lots of cash. All three American teams racing in this year’s Tour are all owned or sponsored by endemic companies — the bike brands Trek, BMC, and Cannondale.

“Most teams are sponsored by government entities or extremely wealthy individuals. There are some — AG2R, Sunweb — that are operating on a commercial model like we are. But both of those are large nonendemic companies that can afford it. We basically need to get into that realm.”

“First of all, the amount of money it takes to support a team, for any bike company, is big. Cannondale is not as large a corporation as Trek or Specialized, so for them to maintain that level of sponsorship is really difficult. It’s a huge marketing expense for them. So to make the team sustainable and long-term, I feel we’ve got to get a nonendemic sponsor.”

It’s unclear what will happen next year if that big sponsor from outside the world of cycling does not sign on.

“Ultimately, it’s not my decision but that of the ownership group,” Vaughters added. “They would have to sort of plug up the holes and make the decision that they were OK continuing like this. As I said, you know, this year, our cars have 300,000 kilometers on them and we’re not really able to go on the transfer market and bring on new talent as well as we should because we’ve been on a budget that’s got us very run thin and run ragged.”

“In the end it’d be up to the ownership group to decide to recapitalize the team and continue with this duct-tape thing. Or not. At this point I don’t really have any indications to which way they point on that.”

To put matters in perspective, Vaughters concluded, “Our entire rider payroll is roughly equivalent to Peter Sagan’s salary, about $ 6 million.”

As Cannondale-Drapac look to get Urán on the podium, it will continue to search for a new sponsor so that it can go even bigger next year.

The mission: Design products and services that fly off the shelves. The firm: IDEO. The man: David Kelley.

His company counts the who’s who of global brands as clients — Apple, Bank of America, IKEA and Microsoft (to name a few). Who knows who he works with under strict non-disclosure.

He recently sat down with Bobby Ghoshal and Jared Erondu with the podcast High Resolution.

During the podcast, he shares five ideas for anyone looking to innovate and come up with the next million-dollar idea.

1. You have to know what problem to solve

You don’t know what problem to solve. Even if you think you do, you don’t. This runs counter to what you might think.

To find the the problem, you must look at things with a fresh perspective — as if you know nothing about it. He calls it vu jàdé.

2. You have to withhold your agenda

When looking for a million-dollar idea, don’t go into the process looking for examples that support your gut feeling or what you think you know.

3. You have to set aside what you know

Set aside everything you know. Don’t think, “It’s always done this way,” or, “It should be done that way.” Make and record observations without judgment or opinion.

4. You have to ask: ‘What was the person thinking?’

Wherever you decide to look, observe people doing whatever it is they do.

Then, without agenda or judgment, ask yourself what that person was thinking when they were doing their thing. This is where insights will start coming.

5. You have to ask: ‘What was the person feeling?’

Asking what a person was feeling will give you perspective on why they did what they did. It will reveal the emotion of the situation. It will reveal frustrations.

According to David, when you blend the thinking and feeling part of the equation, you’ll find opportunities for innovation. That’s the part most people miss, but that’s where million-dollar ideas come from.

Forget what you think you know to find out what you need to know

Looking at things with a fresh perspective means forgetting everything you know. That also means it’s OK to look at industries you know nothing about. How’s that for counterintuitive?

But what he, and IDEO does, works. Try it.

Observe without judgment, and who knows, you could be the next up-and-coming Inc. 5000 founder.

Arguably the best player in one of the world’s most popular games has just surpassed a huge benchmark in tournament earnings.

Lee “Faker” Sang Hyeok has won over $ 1 million playing League of Legends competitively, according to data-tracking site Esports Earnings. Faker is the first pro League player to surpass that barrier. Now, after 35 tournaments, the 21-year-old South Korean superstar has racked up a total of $ 1.047 million after splitting up prizes with his teammates.

This is a major milestone for the League of Legends pro scene. Faker, who typically dominates the mid lane (the busy center of the League map) with an overwhelmingly aggressive style. Many fans consider him the best player ever, and he’s one of the biggest draws on sites like Twitch.

Faker was able to leap past $ 1 million in earnings after his team, SK Telecom T1, pulled out a victory at the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI 2017) in Sao Paulo, Brazil,  last weekend. MSI featured 13 invited teams from all competitive League of Legends regions. Those squads then fought over $ 1.69 million in prize money.

In the end, it was SK Telecom T1 and Faker who took home that top prize, which amounted to $ 676,000.

While Faker is setting records for League players, his success shows how much more money a pro can make playing Dota 2 instead. League and Dota 2 both grew out of the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III, but Valve — which owns and operates Dota 2 — has beefed up its competitive scene with huge fan-funded prize pools worth tens of millions of dollars. This has enabled a young player like 18-year-old Sumail Hassan from Pakistan to have already won $ 2.46 million.

And Hassan is only No. 3 in terms of total Dota 2 earnings.

Of course, that discrepancy isn’t hurting League. The game is as popular as ever, and Faker is still its king.

Its easy, carlike handling combined with SUV-like seating height and practicality make the Equinox an appealing choice. Chevy comes out swinging, as the Equinox’s feature-rich options sheet offers all sorts of modern infotainment and active-safety features. It’s in the hunt for fuel-efficiency street cred, too, with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that sips fuel with the best of them. Unfortunately, it makes the Equinox feel substantially underpowered, and acceleration is lukewarm at best. Chevy’s decision to charge a hefty premium for high-value trim levels and popular packages may drive shoppers to rival brands. READ MORE ››
