How Nike Shoes Were Inspired by Sushi

In 1962, a failing encyclopedia salesman chased an opportunity to sell Japanese running shoes instead.
They were on track to dominate the market until he discovered a design that turned a $50 loan into a $34B company. This is the story of Nike.

[@godparticle2770]

Now, since I have seen the entire video and all the other videos on this channel that have been uploaded till date, I'd like to answer why Hook the channel and Hook Team will be successful. Below are a few reasonable points to be considered: 1. Calm and collective speaker with nice control over his pitch and speed. Not too slow, not too fast, neither is it too exciting nor is it numb. Just the right amount! 2. Dexterity. Not just research but in-depth research and collection of background information which will get deeper and better producing more and more informative videos over time through very clear and clever narrative. 3. Gentleness and gratitude. As mentioned in point number 1, the speaker is not only calm, collected, composed, very well informed but also humble. 4. Background score. I hear not to strong, not too low and perfect matching up with the scenes. Much love and power to the Hook Team Editor for that! 5. I subscribed to this channel back when they had only 5000 subscribers, they're over 62k subscribers now and I assume that it's only been a month or less since I last saw their KFC origin story video. The production is awesome! Just a single tinch and that is, background music while being totally fitting is a bit loud so it takes away the focus from the video, hence only a 10% volume reduction (bass, treble or both) adjust will boost videos significantly as it will improve viewer focus towards the amazing points made in the video! And as I said, do remember me when Hook crosses 1 million subscribers and beyond!

Michael Jordan is a Hall-of-Famer; Tiger Woods still plays in the PGA (Professional Golf Association); Serena Williams still plays in the exclusive professional tennis league. IF AN ATHLETE IS A HALL-OF-FAMER, THEN HE NO LONGER PLAYS IN THE LEAGUE. RETIREMENT IS A HARBINGER FOR INDUCTION.
