How do you know that it’s a huge shout-out? It’s when two legendary personalities like Michael Strahan and Erin Andrews come together to give it to someone – you know it’s a big deal. Their co-founder and business partner just landed a major honour. One that celebrates not just her success but her game-changing moves, which have shaped the careers of some of the biggest names out there. If you know, you know. And if you don’t, well, you’re about to.
So, Constance Schwartz-Morini just made it to Inc.’s 2025 Female Founders 500, and it’s not a shocker because everyone can see her big and entrepreneurial moves in the industry. But as she was honoured with this, her squad came to hype her up – like true teammates. They made sure she got a public shout-out. First, Erin posted a story on her Instagram, “That’s my partner!!! Congrats @conshwartz.” And then Michael followed her footsteps, as he also posted a story captioned, “That’s the BOSS! Congrats to my business partner and sister @conshwartz.” Their appreciation posts are giving dream team energy – when you build a legacy, your people celebrate you.
Erin and Schwartz started a clothing brand together in 2019 as they saw a gap in the clothing industry for fashion-forward fan apparel designed specifically for women. Erin said, “It was Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco, and I had just completed an appearance with the NFL and finished up some media interviews about fashion and fan apparel. As I walked through the convention hall, a light bulb went off… At that time, most of the fan gear for ladies took more of a “shrink it and pink it” style.” And Schwartz supported her in this venture as a co-founder because she agreed with what Erin felt, “I knew right away this was a big idea, but I also knew it would be challenging to break through.”
On the other hand, Schwartz and Michael came together in 2011 to build an agency that blends sports, media, and entertainment (SMAC) – a one-stop shop for athletes, entertainers, and brands. Safe to say, it has been a game-changing partnership. This partnership happened when the former defensive end of the New York Giants retired from his football career and expressed his desire to be more than just an athlete. Enter SMAC Entertainment. As it’s that legendary talent management firm for all athletes, entertainers, and media personalities – it’s a place you run to when you want to turn your career into a full-blown empire. Got an idea? They will make it a reality. Want to make a big career on TV? Consider it done. It’s the behind-the-scenes powerhouse, co-founded by Michael Strahan and Constance Schwartz-Morini. From launching clothing lines to sealing high-profile TV deals – they have done it all.
After retirement, they helped Michael Strahan go from football legend to TV superstar. He started appearing on TV – in Fox NFL Sunday, Live! With Kelly and Michael, Daytime Emmy Awards and Good Morning America. He has been a household name in entertainment and business – his ability to engage audience is next level. And now the superstar is set to return with yet another season of his fans’ favourite show.
Michael Strahan returns to TV with a new season
Michael Strahan’s decision to step away from GMA disheartened his fans, as he chose to spend more time with his family. And he deserved it as family is what matters the most. Moreover, his daughter, Isabella, was going through a challenging phase and he wanted to be by her side during all of it. Doctors diagnosed Isabella with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumour, in 2023. But with her remarkable resilience and openly sharing her journey to inspire others, she was declared cancer-free in 2024.
With Isabella’s health in a better state, Strahan has decided to return to his hosting duties. He is all set to return to your televisions with the ABC game show – The $100,000 Pyramid. Yes, that word association game is coming out again with Season 8 on March 9. Mark your calendars because his Instagram says, “Michael’s ready—are you?” – Uh, obviously, we’ve been waiting since December 2023.
For those who don’t know, the show follows a pattern where celebrities are teamed up with a contestant and they have to battle on word association. But here’s the catch: the winner takes $100,000 home. This Season’s first episode is going to have matchups like – Mark Duplass vs. Pete Holmes and Laverne Cox vs. Thomas Lennon. So, get your popcorn ready – because big laughs and entertainment are coming your way.
And now Michaels’s fans can breathe easy – the man is keeping his game-show crown intact. He has certainly mastered every arena he’s stepped into – be it NFL, TV or business, you name it. He knows exactly what he is doing. Big reason? He has a great team to thrive with – especially Schwartz. No wonder she landed on the list, as her industry-defining moves are always ten steps ahead. They make a great team together that isn’t just winning on the field but on screen and in boardrooms as well.
