The only constant in life is change.
In some instances, this change is evolutionary, with incremental, almost undetectable, steps. But oftentimes, change is revolutionary, causing disruption of the status quo. On Breaking Schemas, you'll hear from folks who have caused that kind of disruption — change-makers, category-challengers, and idea-generators who have not only navigated change but, in many ways, have rewritten the rules of the game.
Join hosts Marcus Collins and John Branch, professors at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan as they chat with business leaders across a wide-spectrum of industries about the decisions they made along their career that catapulted them to the status of “disruptor."

As an accounting major trying to break into the media and entertainment industry, Devin Johnson heard the word “no” a lot. But the now-president of Lebron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Company found his way into the creative world through finance jobs.
That versatility is sewn into the fabric of SpringHill’s mission; it’s a place where accountants can make creative content, too. Devin says that mindset and culture are built on empowerment. Empowerment from Lebron James gave him the confidence to step into his role, and he wants to instill that kind of empowerment in his employees.
Breaking Schemas host Marcus Collins sits down with Devin to chat about his journey from accounting to leading a major content company, how the SpringHill Company fosters a diverse and empowering culture, and why having an “irrational expectation of success” leads to amazing things.
