How Phil Knight's "crazy idea" conquers the sporting world

[@chiragpatel2423]

If you haven't read Phil's memoir Shoe Dog, defiantly check it out. Reading every chapter always makes me feel as if Nike wasn't going to make it. But Phil lives by the company philosophy of Just Do it. Incredible life.

Chirag Patel best book I’ve ever read hands down. I legit was sad when I finished because I felt the Journey was over

My feelings.of optimism while reading may be in part because im l8ving in the present and know the outcome. But there is a sense of destiny i detect while reading. That Mr. Knight knew his calling. He chased and pursued it. And ive seen so often that the pursuit, the struggle, the adversity, is the road... is the way.

6:46 - 7:21 Thank you for your generosity! Mr. Knight. Your legacy won't be forgotten.

It's absolutely mind blowing that there were multiple times he got a 2nd job cause he thought he couldn't pull through, multiple times they almost went bankrupt, multiple times that Nike almost didn't make it. But he was relentless and fought like hell. It was never about money. He was fighting for what he believed was his calling. What an incredible story.

Just read the book, fascinating stuff on how to build a company in your own vision.

Phil Knight is always is all-black

[@davidramirez4810]

Bowerman and Prefontaine started it, but Knight picked it up and ran with it.

[@glenngayet3626]

David Ramirez no knight started it and asked bowerman to partner

[@davidramirez4810]

Nope. Bowerman started it. Knight turned it into a business.

[@glenngayet3626]

David Ramirez knight wrote a biz plan on importing Japanese running shoes his senior year, asked his dad for the money before bowerman even knew of the idea, and knight partnered with bowerman for the money.

[@thatbf1nub692]

David Ramirez read Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight. Bowerman partnered later.
