Today I have an absolute treat for you. I am chatting with Joe Foster, the founder of Reebok, who is arguably one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 20th century. Coming from humble beginnings, he founded Reebok with his brother Jeff in 1958, eventually building it into the world's number 1 sports brand. It is likely that you yourself own a pair of Reebok shoes or sportswear.
Nowadays Reebok is a globally renowned brand with several high profile ambassadors, such as Alicia Keys, Conor McGregor, and Ariana Grande — just to name a few.
Joe has recently written and released his book, Shoemaker, which recounts the remarkable story of how he grew Reebok into one of the world's most famous sports brands, having started from a small factory in Bolton, Lancashire.
By the end of this interview, you will have an deep understanding of how an extremely successful businessman thinks, you will gain insight into how to build a global business empire, and you will feel that you too could have the potential to make a big impact in the world.
In this episode, you will learn about:
