Shoe Dog
Phil Knight, 2016
The founder of Nike remembers selling shoes from a car trunk, betting on a strange idea, and learning that business is never just business.

Nike’s swoosh was drawn by design student Carolyn Davidson for $35 in 1971; Knight later gave her Nike stock.
Feels like memory, curiosity and melancholy.
The difference between a job that empties you and a calling that spends you.
I’d tell men and women in their midtwenties not to settle for a job or a profession or even a career. Seek a calling. Even if you don’t know what that means, seek it. If you’re following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you’ve ever felt. Books by Phil Knight
