Book Review: Shoe Dog

|

< 1 min read

Just finished reading Shoe Dog!

An incredible tale of how a group of ragtag misfits, through their sheer grit and perseverance, created world’s largest sporting goods company – Nike!

Some great business/entrepreneurship lessons along the way. From doing business in Japan, as an American, in 1960s to the constant struggle dealing with risk-averse bankers.

From defending irrational lawsuits against competitors to dealing with kraken bureaucrats in DC, Phil takes readers on an inspiring yet entertaining odyssey of the making of the Swooshs!

Rating: 4.5/5
