Nikki Barjon Ushers in a New Era of Branding and Legacy Building
From Brand Architect to Legacy Builder For nearly three decades, Nikki Barjon’s name has quietly influenced some of the world’s most recognizable brands. Behind the scenes, she has shaped strategies, crafted narratives, and created movements for Fortune 500 companies, professional athletes, and cultural icons. But today, Nikki’s journey has taken a transformative turn as the brand that built the brands is now becoming the story. Nikki Barjon is not just a branding expert; she is an architect of purpose. As the founder of The Brandshoppe , co-founder of BRXND Sportsplex , and Managing Partner of BXSE (BRXND Sports + Entertainment) , Nikki is now building a multi-faceted ecosystem that merges business, sports, and community transformation. Her focus has shifted from designing brand identities to designing legacies, from boosting visibility to creating value that lasts. With over 20 years of experience, Nikki’s approach to branding has always been rooted in depth, discipline, and design. She is driven by the belief that true success isn't about chasing trends, it’s about aligning purpose with strategy. It’s this very ethos that now shapes her vision for the future. The Evolution of a Brand Leader Nikki’s career began in the high-pressure world of crisis communications and global brand strategy, where she worked with major brands such as KingWorld, Viacom, CBS, Nike, Pfizer, and Ford Motor Company. Over time, her work grew to span across sports, entertainment, and beyond, where she built brands for professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, WNBA, MLB, and Olympic platforms. As a storyteller and strategist, Nikki’s unique ability was turning complexity into clarity, helping individuals and organizations communicate authentically, with cultural intelligence and conviction. This skill, honed through years of guiding corporate leaders and athletes alike, formed the foundation of her current ventures. Today, Nikki’s work is centered around creating movements, not just brands. Through The Brandshoppe , she’s helping brands, entrepreneurs and corporations tell powerful stories that go beyond marketing to inspire real change. At BXSE Sports + Entertainment , she’s shifting the paradigm for sports marketing by ensuring that athletes and creators build brands with integrity, strategy, and purpose. Building Champions Not Just Brands One of Nikki’s most personal and impactful endeavors has been the co-founding of BRXND Sportsplex , a 15,000-square-foot sports training facility in Atlanta. BRXND is more than just a gym; it’s a community hub for athlete development, leadership, and transformation. “My work at BRXND is where branding, sports and ministry intersect,” Nikki shares. “We believe success isn’t handed down, it’s earned through discipline, strategy, and relentless work. It’s a mindset I’ve carried throughout my career, and now, I’m teaching it to the next generation.” The facility serves as both a training ground for young athletes and a leadership incubator, with initiatives like Athletes Edge blending performance training with personal branding. Nikki’s insight is clear: “Athletes may train their bodies daily, but few are taught to develop their mindset, communication, and character.” Through this holistic approach, Nikki is preparing athletes not just for competition but for long-term success both on and off the field or court. Faith, Family, and the Future At the heart of everything Nikki does is a deep commitment to faith, family, and the power of purpose-driven leadership. Married to her college sweetheart, a (KRE) Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion crisis specialist, Fritz Barjon, Nikki has built a family and a business rooted in the same principles: hard work, integrity, and service to others. Together, the Barjons are not just building a business but a legacy that will influence and equip future generations. Both have learned that real leadership isn’t about avoiding adversity or chaos — it’s about transforming it into clarity, courage, and conviction. “Mindset management is the cornerstone of everything we do,” Nikki explains. “In both our family and our business, we focus on creating lasting value — turning moments of pressure into purpose, and challenges into opportunities to build something that lasts, whether it’s athletes or communities.” The Barjons' vision extends beyond business. They are determined to build generational wellness and elevate their community through the work they do at BRXND. Their mantra, Built. Not Bought. , is not just a slogan, it’s a lifestyle. It’s about earning success through discipline, consistency, and a strong sense of purpose. The Power of the Pivot A New Era of Branding What truly sets Nikki apart is her ability to pivot. She has taken her decades of brand leadership experience and used it to craft new platforms that reflect her own voice and vision. She is now creating a new ecosystem that bridges sports, business, and community impact, redefining what success looks like for athletes, entrepreneurs, and organizations alike. As an author of “BRAND NEW: Mastering the Art of the Pivot and Moving to the Place Where God is Calling You” , Nikki shares her philosophy on reinvention and purpose-driven success. Her message is clear: it’s not about the noise of the moment, but about the depth and substance of the journey. “I’m not building brands anymore, I’m building a living blueprint — that helps others understand and increase their value in this world,” Nikki reflects. A Legacy of Leadership and Service Nikki’s influence extends beyond her professional endeavors. She is a committed mentor and advocate for young people, particularly athletes, and creators. Her leadership is about more than business, it’s about making a difference in the lives of those she mentors. Through initiatives like Athlete’s Edge , Nikki is teaching the next generation how to develop not just their skills, but their character, mindset, and purpose. It’s a powerful approach to leadership that values integrity over hype, and purpose over popularity.

That's the power of Buggyra! Téo Calvet crowned champion for the fourth time, José Sousa third
Téo Calvet confirmed his role as the favorite and became national champion for the fourth time in his career — the third in a row. In addition, José Sousa secured his overall third place, while his son Raphaël finished sixth in the championship standings. Téo sealed his crown and title defense this weekend with one victory and one second-place finish. The father-and-son duo of the Sousas also brought joy to the Buggyra Academy France pits, dominating the very last race of the season — Raphaël took the win and José finished second. “The job is done. Another title for Téo has become a reality. There was a lot of hard work behind it this year. I would like to thank the whole team because they did an amazing job. It’s not easy on every race day, but we never give up and always give our best. That’s the power of Buggyra — that’s what matters most,” said a satisfied head of Buggyra Academy France, Fabien Calvet. The reigning champion sealed this year’s title in the first Sunday race, which he won. “I’m the French champion for 2025 and I’m super happy. I also won that race, so it was just amazing. I tasted some champagne because the team and I had a celebration. Thanks to the team, my sponsors, everyone around me, and my family. It’s been a great season,” said really delighted Téo Calvet. On Saturday, he took a more cautious approach, aiming to collect the crucial points he needed. Even so, he finished second in the opening, higher-scoring race. “The first race of the weekend was very tough. There were a lot of red flags, so we had to stop many times. Then I was fighting with Lionel Montagne for first place, but second place is also very good,” Téo said on Saturday. Téo Calvet started from pole position for the decisive race of the season — the first Sunday race — and by holding off his challenger Thomas Robineau all the way to the finish, he secured the title. A fitting end to a strong season came in the final points-scoring race, which was dominated by the Sousa family duo. The elder of the two, José, also secured third place in the overall standings with his victory. “Buggyra Academy France is in first and third place, so I’m really proud of us. Raphaël had a tough season because he had a big crash at Le Mans, but he never gave up. He kept fighting and won the last race, so congratulations to him,” added Téo Calvet. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Buggyra ZM Racing's father-daughter duo ready for Rallye du Maroc as final Dakar preparation
Following a three-day test in the Moroccan desert, both drivers are focused on reliability and race strategy as they prepare for the 2026 Dakar Rally, competing in the Open Category. Buggyra ZM Racing will enter two cars in the Open Category for the final round of the 2025 World Rally Raid Championship. Aliyyah Koloc will drive a turbo-charged Red-Lined Revo T1+ GTR with experienced French co-driver Sébastien Delauney, while her father Martin will compete in the non-turbo version of the Red-Lined T1+, co-driven by Italian Mirko Brun. The different car specifications will allow the team to measure performance gaps between the two variants. Pre-rally testing in Morocco Ahead of the rally, Buggyra ZM Racing conducted a three-day private test in the Moroccan desert. For Aliyyah, this preparation was particularly valuable after not driving the car since the Taklimakan Rally in China in May, as a planned test in Poland was nearly fully washed out. "This test was very important for me to familiarize myself with the car again," Aliyyah explains. "I could run my full test program in the dunes in good conditions. The car worked well and I feel confident for the rally." The main focus of the test was to assess the car's reliability and performance, gathering as much data as possible following the significant redesigns the mechanics had made since Aliyyah last drove the car in China. The test also proved beneficial in unexpected ways. Martin Koloc, normally the Team Principal of Buggyra ZM Racing, offered his daughter valuable insights. "He showed me how to adjust my seating position, which actually worked really well. I can't believe I have never thought of it myself!" Aliyyah says. "We were also able to collect a lot of data, something my father is very good at." Rally strategy and objectives Performance won't be the main target for Buggyra ZM Racing at this event, as Martin Koloc explains. "We are not talking performance," he explains. "That's why we entered the Open Class, as we need to test for the Dakar and have the best possible preparation for it. In Morocco, we are looking for reliability and strategy." The different car specifications serve a specific purpose. "We are trying to measure the gap in speed since the GTR is much faster," Martin points out. "Obviously, my car is slower, so I need to figure out how big a margin I should take for the race car to carry out my driving duty in the best possible way." For this rally, Martin will take on a purely driving role. "I won't be the Team Principal for this rally. I cannot manage the team and drive the car at the same time. For this race, I am just a driver, and I will follow orders." Both drivers acknowledge the challenge ahead. "You are never 100% prepared," Martin says. "You are always trying to sort out some last things; there is never enough time. We are prepared as much as we can, and we'll follow our plan." Aliyyah adds: "Every testing kilometer counts, but you can never really simulate the race conditions. The main target of this race is to prepare and improve ahead of the Dakar Rally." Event schedule The Rallye du Maroc will take place from October 13 to 17, starting in Fez and ending in Erfoud. Over 100 competitors will participate in this final round of the 2025 World Rally Raid Championship, including some big names such as Nasser Al-Attiyah, Carlos Sainz, and Sébastien Loeb. The rally will cover a total of 2,299 km with 1,478 km of special stages, featuring five different loops being run around the city from days two to five. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Téo Calvet fights for another title. Everything will be decided in Albi
The young Frenchman will battle to defend his title and claim his fourth overall crown as the king of French truck racing. The odds are clearly in his favor. Heading into the final four points-paying races, the Buggyra Academy France driver holds a 61-point lead over Thomas Robineau, his only remaining challenger for the championship. José Sousa sits third, while his son Raphaël will aim to improve on his current fifth place in the standings. “It’s the most important race of the year — one where we can win everything or lose everything. We have to be very strategic. That applies to both Téo and José Sousa, who needs to maintain third position. We must keep a clear head and score as many points as possible,” said Buggyra Academy France team boss Fabien Calvet. “We know the Albi track well and its challenges well. Overtaking here is very difficult. On the first day, we have to do everything possible to secure our positions and build a sufficient gap. We’ll do everything we can to win. In the best-case scenario, we would finish first and third overall — Téo first and José third. Having two trucks on the podium would be a dream,” Calvet added with determination. True to his racer’s spirit, Téo Calvet can’t wait to hit the track. “I really can’t wait. It’s our home race, just 45 minutes from where we live. We’ve got a solid lead in the championship. There will be a lot of battles on track, but we’ll have to be careful — one race can change everything,” said the 24-year-old driver. The defending champion is also aware of how crucial Saturday’s races will be. “We’ll need to drive cautiously on the first day and avoid any contact. If we manage to secure the title, then we can fight harder on Sunday,” he added. The French championship weekend consists of four races in total. On both days, the starting grid for the first race is determined by qualifying and the following Superpole session. The second race, which offers fewer points, features a reversed grid for the top finishers from the opening event. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Online Bodybuilding Coaching Program For Beginners Get Started Launched
Master Trainer Initiative has announced an online bodybuilding coaching program created specifically for beginners entering the sport. As part of the training, certified coaches provide personalized training plans and nutrition guidance tailored to each client's starting point and goals. More information is available at https://mastertrainerinitiative.com/online-bodybuilding-coaches/ The program seeks to address common obstacles beginners face when starting their bodybuilding journey. Without proper guidance, newcomers often waste months following generic programs that fail to produce results. Incorrect exercise form and ineffective routines can also lead to injuries that derail progress completely. To prevent these setbacks, Master Trainer Initiative's program starts with 3-day full-body workout splits. This frequency allows proper recovery between sessions while teaching foundational movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses. As beginners master proper form with manageable weights, coaches implement progressive overload principles to ensure continuous strength development. Nutrition planning forms another critical component, with protein targets set between 1.6 and 2.2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight daily. Rather than guessing at calorie needs, the coaching team calculates precise macronutrient ratios based on individual body composition goals, eliminating the confusion surrounding meal planning that often overwhelms beginners. "Beginners benefit most from having an expert coach who has competed and won at high levels from day one," a company representative stated. "Our coaches know exactly what it takes to build muscle effectively because they have achieved success themselves through proper training methods." The program tracks progress with weekly check-ins that include measurements, photos, and strength milestones. Through video analysis, coaches spot form issues and give clear, personalized feedback. The program’s flexible scheduling adapts to different time zones and work commitments, supporting clients who train at home or in gym environments. Results follow a predictable timeline when clients maintain consistency and apply the tips for beginners developed by the team. Initial strength gains typically emerge within 2 to 3 weeks, while visible muscle changes appear after 4 to 8 weeks. By emphasizing sustainable habits over extreme approaches, the program ensures long-term success rather than temporary gains followed by burnout. Master Trainer Initiative brings over 30 years of combined experience training amateur and professional athletes. Led by Roger Adams, the coaching staff specializes in developing confident lifters who understand proper training methodology.

Skydive Amelia Island Offers Gift Experience Through Tandem Skydiving
Skydive Amelia Island, the only coastal skydive center in North Florida, is extending its experience beyond the individual thrill-seeker by offering tandem skydiving as a gift option. This initiative allows families and friends to provide loved ones with the opportunity to enjoy the exhilaration of skydiving while overlooking Jacksonville’s beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. With its team of experienced instructors, Skydive Amelia Island has long provided visitors with safe and memorable experiences. From college students on spring break to adults fulfilling a lifelong dream, the center accommodates a wide range of participants. As with any first-time skydive, preparation is a key part of the experience, which includes reviewing clothing for skydiving to ensure comfort and safety throughout the jump. Tandem skydiving at Skydive Amelia Island has become a meaningful way to mark special occasions such as birthdays, graduations, and holidays. Rather than giving traditional material items, loved ones can share a memory that lasts long after the parachute lands. “Skydiving is more than an adventure—it’s a moment that stays with you for a lifetime,” said a spokesperson for Skydive Amelia Island. “When people ask what to wear when skydiving for the first time, we remind them that comfort and practicality are most important. Loose, athletic-style clothing and secure footwear ensure the jumper can focus on the thrill of the experience rather than distractions. The preparation is part of making the day unforgettable.” The skydive center prides itself on its attention to safety while also offering one of the most visually stunning drop zones in the region. Each tandem jump provides participants with panoramic views of Jacksonville’s coastline, creating a striking backdrop for the adrenaline-filled descent. “Standing on the runway, ready to board, participants are trading the sand between their toes for adrenaline pumping through their veins,” the spokesperson added. “That moment of anticipation defines why this experience is so memorable.” Beyond the initial thrill, Skydive Amelia Island emphasizes the enduring impact of the adventure. For many, a tandem skydive represents overcoming fear, achieving a milestone, or simply celebrating life in a unique way. These aspects make it an especially fitting gift option for those seeking to provide something lasting and meaningful. Visitors also receive guidance on every aspect of the process, from pre-flight safety briefings to landing techniques. This ensures that even first-time participants feel supported throughout the journey. The guidance extends to practical matters such as selecting clothing for skydiving, which helps create a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Aliyyah and Martin Koloc: A father-daughter racing story
Before she takes part for the fourth time, her focus is entirely on preparation. This year, that preparation takes on a special twist at the upcoming Rallye du Maroc, where she will be joined on the start line by her father, Martin Koloc, a former racer himself and CEO of Buggyra ZM Racing. Here, Aliyah tells the story of what she thought when her father told her he’d be racing next to her, why this is a nerve-wrecking experience, and what it was like to test a rally car alongside her dad in monsoon-like conditions. After months of redesigning and fine-tuning the V8 T1+ and the Revo T1+ GTR, Buggyra ZM Racing was finally ready for their test in Poland last week. But this wasn't going to be any ordinary test. What was initially planned for two days was cut short to just one due to monsoon-like rain that turned the dirt track into something that felt more like an ice rink. “Every corner was a gamble, visibility was terrible, and I found myself fighting for grip and control on every single lap. It was brutal, but in the best possible way,” Aliyyah Koloc describes her first day back in the Revo T1+ GTR. Racing alongside Dad What made this day even more special was having her father, Martin Koloc, back behind the wheel alongside her. “When he first told me he'd be driving a second car alongside me, I was over the moon”, Aliyyah says. However, it is not entirely new to Aliyyah as Martin did a couple of rallies last year. “When we drove the Rallye du Maroc together, that was such a special experience. We shared information, tried to improve together, and it felt like we were really building something as a team.” Of course, having your father as a teammate all of a sudden brings its own challenges. “I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous knowing he was out there on track with me. There's this constant worry in the back of your mind when you don't know where he is or how he's doing. But I know he's a good driver, I just have to get used to this new dynamic. And I finally understand how he's been feeling all these years watching me!” A whole new level of teamwork Having Martin as a driving teammate, rather than just a team principal, has transformed their working relationship. “It's one thing to have your father helping you improve the car and your driving from the sidelines, he's been doing that since I started my career. But now that he's actually driving too, sharing his knowledge from behind the wheel, it feels like we've taken a huge step forward in our development,” Aliyyah explains. “He really gets the car now, and when we sit down to discuss setup and performance, the conversation is so much richer.” The wealth of shared knowledge makes it difficult for her to pinpoint specific advice that stood out during the test. “It's more like a constant flow of knowledge and experience between us, and I try to remember and practice everything we talk about.” Beyond the practical advantages of having a teammate who can assist if something goes wrong, there's something even more meaningful for Aliyyah. “My father used to be a racer, but I never actually got to watch him race. I've only seen videos. Watching him come alive behind the wheel again after 25 years has been truly inspiring. There's something magical about witnessing that passion reignited,” says the 21-year-old racer. More than just results Despite the challenging conditions, the team wrapped up the test day with valuable results. "We were soaked to the bone, covered in mud, and absolutely exhausted, but we couldn't stop smiling," Aliyyah recalls. “Even in those impossibly tough conditions, we got solid data, valuable feedback, and a clearer direction for where we need to go next. It proved once again that every single lap matters.” For Aliyyah, the season's goals extend far beyond race results. “We both love racing, and I feel like we’ve become even closer because of this shared journey. We now spend even more time discussing car setup, analyzing stages, and sharing our experiences. All of that helps us improve the car and our performance. It's like having twice the data and twice the insight to work with.” The test in Poland was just the start of this unique father-daughter story. They will take it to their first real test at the Rallye du Maroc from October 10-17, marking the next chapter of their racing partnership. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

SoCal Hobie Kayak Shop: Pro Angler 14 360XR Drive For Fishing Available
Pure Watersports, a kayak shop in Dana Point, has added the Hobie Pro Angler 14 360XR to its inventory, giving Southern California anglers direct access to one of the most advanced fishing kayaks on the market. The model's availability is significant for local anglers seeking updated watercraft technology and performance without any shipping hassle. More information is available at https://www.purewatersports.com/kayaks/ Originally launched in 2009, Hobie’s Pro Angler series has long been a favorite of serious and tournament anglers. Over the years, the line has evolved through extensive feedback from professionals, earning a reputation for rugged utility and thoughtful design. A key feature is the MirageDrive 360XR, a propulsion system that offers full-range maneuverability. The drive allows the kayak to move in any direction, including sideways and backwards, with pedal power and even pivot in place, giving anglers precise control when holding position against currents or wind. The Pro Angler 14 is also designed for stability and comfort during long periods on the water, with its wide beam being a critical design element for anglers who prefer to stand while casting. Kayaks with wider beams, such as 34 inches or more, generally improve an angler's confidence when standing to cast compared to narrower models. Moreover, the kayak's features are well-suited for Southern California's local fishing conditions. Thanks to its maneuverability, it is suitable for navigating harbor waters to target species like bass and halibut. The craft's stability and performance also make it a capable platform for anglers venturing offshore for yellowtail and tuna. Find more information at https://www.purewatersports.com/proangler14-kayak-360xrdrive/ As an authorized Hobie kayak dealer in Dana Point Harbor, Pure Watersports supports the local angling community with sales, rentals, and demonstrations. The shop offers on-water demonstrations, allowing customers to test the equipment before purchase and experience the drive system's performance firsthand. "We offer free, easy on-the-water demos for select Hobie kayak models, along with personalized post-sale instruction, expert outfitting, and convenient on-site storage," says a representative for the shop. "Whether you’re new to paddling or looking to fish in freshwater or saltwater, our team specializes in setting you up for success." Interested anglers can visit the Pure Watersports website at https://www.purewatersports.com/ or contact the store directly to learn more about the new kayak and to schedule a demonstration.
