Larry Miller is the head of the Michael Jordan brand for Nike. But during his steady corporate rise, colleagues had no idea that as a teenager he'd shot and killed a man and served time in jail. When revealing his gangland background caused him to lose his first major job opportunity, he vowed to keep quiet about it. His memoir Jump - My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom - now sets the record straight. Larry Miller has co-written the book with his daughter Laila Lacy. It's a tale of hardship growing up in a gritty part of Philadelphia, crime, redemption and ultimately global business success.
