  • How Reebok Founder Joe Foster Built a Billion Dollar Brand

    For Today's podcast, Bryan and Nacho interview the founder of Reebok Joe Foster. Joe is directly responsible for the worldwide recognition of Reebok as a dominant brand in sports. He and his brother Jeff laid the foundations of Reebok in the UK during the 60s' and 70s' and eventually broke into the US Market to great success with the Reebok Aztec in 1979. This put Reebok on a whole other level and in the 80s' and early 90s' Reebok dethroned Nike as the top sportswear and sneaker company in the world. Joe explains the history of Reebok and talks about his new memoir Shoe Maker.
