Als junger, abenteuerlustiger Business-School-Absolvent auf der Suche nach einer Herausforderung lieh Phil Knight sich von seinem Vater 50 Dollar und gründete eine Firma mit einer klaren Mission: qualitativ hochwertige, aber preiswerte Laufschuhe aus Japan importieren.

Heute liegen die Jahresumsätze von Nike bei über 30 Milliarden Dollar.

Bloccata in un bar della stazione degli autobus dopo aver lasciato quel traditore del mio ex, sono infreddolita, stanca e in cerca di una via di fuga. Quindi, perchè non cogliere al volo l’offerta di un affascinante sconosciuto di nome Mark Sullivan di darmi un passaggio fino allo stato di New York? Cosa può andare storto? Tutto.

Avvoltoio capitalista. Bugiardo. E il sostituto del mio capo per qualche mese.

Arrivo sull’isola privata della mia migliore amica per festeggiare il suo primo anniversario di matrimonio. Fico, vero?

Lasciatemelo dire: essere costretti a sopravvivere nella natura selvaggia (okay, nel comfort di un’isola privata di lusso) con Jonah Wells non è la situazione più ideale.
