Tommy G Talks - Episode 119: The Story of Reebok, w/ Joe Foster, The Founder
Joe Foster founded Reebok with his Brother Jeff back in 1958.
The global brand that we all know as one of the market leaders in sport and fashion, once operated out of an old factory with holes in the roof and holes in the floor!
In this interview, Joe shares some of the early stories and hardships that they faced, as well as some of the magical moments along the way.
I felt very grateful and honoured to be speaking with such an example of British business and innovation.
As a kid, I would draw the Reebok logo time and time again and imagine having the latest trainers on my feet.
To interview the Founder and for him to have such an open, real and enchanting conversation was really special.
Joe’s new book “ShoeMaker” is out now and you can get yourself a signed copy from http://www.jwfosterheritage.com
