Listen "Episode 9: Betrayal, Burnout, and Billions: The Rejections That Fueled ‘Just Do It’"
Episode Synopsis
What if your greatest setbacks were the training ground for your greatest impact?
In this episode of The Seven Eight Podcast, Michael and Lexi dive deep into the gritty and often overlooked origin story of Nike and its founder Phil Knight. It’s not just about shoes. It’s about lawsuits, rejection, betrayal, burnout—and the death of a son. It's about falling down, over and over... and getting back up anyway.
Through this raw and inspiring conversation, you'll discover:
Why most success stories leave out the hardest parts—and why those are the parts that matter most
How Phil Knight built a global brand through years of chaos, not confidence
Why your story doesn’t need to be a “rags to riches” tale to be powerful
How to keep moving when the next step feels impossible
Whether you’re building a brand, rebuilding your life, or just trying to survive another Monday, this episode is a reminder that the fall isn’t final.
Your rise might be closer than you think.
