Legendary Conversations: Jordan Brand Chairman Shares His Incredible Story of Resilience and Perseverance

Event Overview

Larry Miller spent decades spearheading the wild success of the Jordan Brand — one of the most iconic and pervasive brands the world has ever seen. But throughout his work with superstar athletes, A-list celebrities and high-profile executives, he kept a disturbing secret — a troubled past that included gang activity and murder.   WWT’s SHADES Employee Resource Group (ERG) is pleased to host a conversation with Miller and Urban Youth Racing School Director of Operations Michelle Martin as they talk about Miller’s remarkable story of resilience, perseverance and reinvention, and how Miller’s rise from the streets to the boardroom reinforces the importance of second chances and removing the stigma behind incarceration.   Miller’s book — Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom, which he co-authored with his daughter, Laila — was published in January 2022.   https://jumpmysecretjourney.com/
