Episode notes
Episode Summary:
In this episode, we dive deep into Shoe Dog, the powerful autobiography of Nike’s co-founder Phil Knight — a raw, vulnerable, and inspiring memoir about building one of the most iconic brands in the world.
This is more than a book summary. It’s a heartfelt reflection on the ideas that shaped a company and a life — from crazy ideas that didn’t seem crazy to the power of belief, perseverance, family, failure, leadership, and passion. I also share some personal reflections from my own journey, as a medical student and aspiring entrepreneur, and the lessons that truly moved me.
This episode is for anyone chasing a dream, anyone who’s felt lost, or anyone who needs a reminder that the best things in life take time, and sometimes, silence.
