The Story Of A Global Empire - with Joe Foster

This week, Ellie is on a mission alongside Joe Foster, world-renowned business mastermind, author and co-founder of global super brand, Reebok.

Joe discusses his beginnings in business, how Reebok grew from small beginnings to a global super power, and the story of Joe's incredible journey into and through business - the challenges faced and the lessons learned.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Reebok grew from an imaginative and innovative series of progressions in the Foster family, that began with Joe's grandfather - one of the pioneering influencers.
Many entering the world of business with an idea, see only the idea itself, and focus upon this solely. However, we soon come to realise that business is an all-encompassing pursuit, and requires a swift and comprehensive education in many areas. This is the entrepreneurial journey.
Challenges arise at all junctures along the route through our business journey. The great ones recognise that challenge is there to be overcome, and lessons are always learned in its wake.
Successful collaborations and partnerships are built upon a shared vision and purpose - one that guides a business around every obstacle, regardless of personal feeling.
