Today's Satellite Sisters Podcast is a replay of a conversation with Nike Co-Founder and Creator Phil Knight about his new memoir Shoe Dog, the story of Nike's early days. This episode first aired in May 2016 and is rereleased now in anticipation of the new Ben Affleck/Matt Damon movie AIR, in which Ben plays Phil Knight and Matt plays Sonny Vaccaro. Both Liz Dolan and Lian Dolan worked at Nike and our conversation today will focus on what made the corporate culture at Nike unique and special and took the business from the trunk of Phil's car to a 30 billion dollar business. Liz Dolan who started as the Nike PR Director in 1988 and went on to become Global CMO, shares the one-page Nike Principles that she received in her first day of work in 1988. Phil Knight shares why running, the pioneering spirit of Oregon and a sense of humor were all critical to Nike's success and creating the culture that made Nike so special. The book is Shoe Dog, a must-read for business people, entrepreneurs and sneaker fans. Shoe Dog has been optioned as a movie by Netflix and is in development by Frank Marshall.
Air is an original screenplay by Alex Convery. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16419074/.
It is inspired by real events but the creation of Air Jordan is much debated and has many versions. The real Phil Knight and the real Sonny Vaccaro do not agree on this story. https://www.kgw.com/article/entertainment/movies/air-film-ben-affleck-matt-damon-nike-phil-knight/283-57c210cb-1299-4a84-93ab-366fb0b8ee6c
