Description

Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight shares the inside story of Nike's early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world's most iconic brands. In his memoir, Knight recounts the journey that began with a $50 loan from his father and a simple mission to import high-quality running shoes from Japan. Knight's story is one of risk and resilience, as he navigated the challenges of building a company from scratch, including crushing setbacks, ruthless competitors, and hostile bankers. He also shares the many thrilling triumphs and narrow escapes that defined his journey. This candid and riveting memoir offers a unique glimpse into the life of the man behind the swoosh, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in business, sports, or entrepreneurship.
