In the middle of my presentation, in front of all the shareholders, one of the models came out disguised as Elvis, wrapped me up in a big hug and then started grooving around the stage. I was thinking that he had maybe taken my instructions a little too far. Then I found out that Phil Knight was behind the whole deal and apparently everyone had known about it except me. I guess it was payback for when I was VP of Apparel during a sales meeting in Palm Springs. There are still pictures of that somewhere around.
Sports are such an emotional venue that gets people fired up one way or another.
Enjoy reading about people who have struggled and overcome obstacles to reach success. But I crack myself up with a twisted sense of humor that others don't always get. Philly, I got pulled into all sorts of crazy stuff when I was younger until I decided that I wanted to get out. I also believe in getting involved and giving back to your community, sharing insights and time with others to help them succeed. Anything you put your mind to, you can do, but you've got to make the effort and do the work necessary to accomplish your goals.
