📫 Growth & Direction – Weekend Words #031

This week we featured Nike co-founder Phil Knight’s memoir and Nike whistleblower Steve Magness’ latest book.

Steve recently wrote a short essay reflecting on how his whistleblowing journey took nearly 10 years of his life, and outlines the advice he’d give to his younger self. I enjoyed the article and think it’s definitely worth 10-15 minutes to read.

We also hosted a Book Jam this week in NYC with Alex & Books. If you’d like our free playbook to host your own in your city or at your company, just reply and we’ll share all the details.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming… two new quotes from this week’s books.

“Life is growth. You grow or you die.”

— Shoe Dog, Phil Knight
