From Razor Startups to Ravens Swim Lessons: Michael Phelps Makes Waves On and Off the Course
About this Episode
Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Michael Phelps has been everywhere these past few days. He made a splash at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park, Long Island, cozying up on the PGA’s official Instagram and attending the star-studded Breakfast at Bethpage event alongside other celebrities like Colin Jost and chef José Andrés. Phelps, who calls golf his post-swimming passion, gave us a glimpse into his chilled-out mornings by posting “Good Times” on Instagram. NHL.com caught him rubbing shoulders with players from the New York Islanders on the course, adding another layer to his legendary crossover appeal.
On the business front, Phelps is putting his money where his mouth—and face—is, recently investing in Baltimore-based 800razors.com. He’s now a shareholder and spokesperson, touting the brand’s razors for giving him the close, comfortable shave he needs, whether in or out of the pool. More importantly, he was drawn to the company’s commitment to philanthropy, supporting Baltimore’s Chimes nonprofit with opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, according to Technical.ly.
But it’s not just about sports and shaving. Michael’s charitable work is continuing front and center, with the Michael Phelps Foundation out there teaching kids to swim and promoting wellness and self-esteem. This week, social media buzzed as Phelps promised he’d join Baltimore Ravens players at training camp to help some of them learn to swim, after a video posted by cornerback Marlon Humphrey revealed a third of the team can’t swim. Not content with just giving lessons, Phelps offered enthusiastic support via Instagram, reinforcing his mission to fight drowning—a cause he’s championed since retiring.
Phelps also remains a coveted speaker on the business conference circuit. The Power Platform Community Conference just announced him as the featured guest keynote speaker at its Las Vegas event in late October, a gig that promises to be seen by thousands, cementing his reputation not just as a sports icon but a leader in healthy living, water safety, and the “pursuit of dreams,” as described in the Microsoft Dynamics World preview.
Fans on Threads and Instagram can’t get enough of his everyday relatability, from confirming his love for fried eggs, omelets, and ham-and-cheese sandwiches to advocating for plant-based diets and Silk milk alternatives. And next week, look for his branded Chilly GOAT Cold Tubs at the Masters Fitness Championship—he’s now a major stakeholder in the recovery tech game.
In conclusion, the headlines make it clear: whether teaching NFL pros to swim, golfing with celebrities, investing in startup razor companies, or headlining major tech conferences, Michael Phelps is using his platform to stay relevant, influential, and just a little bit unpredictable.
