Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom As I sit here, penning down my story, I can't help but think about how far I've come. From the violent streets of West Philadelphia in the 60s to the pinnacle of American sports and industry, my journey has been nothing short of remarkable. My name is Larry Miller, and this is my story - Jump. Growing up in the '60s was no easy feat. The streets were riddled with gang violence, and I found myself in and out of jail more than once. But despite the obstacles, I was determined to make something of myself. I immersed myself in education, taking advantage of any opportunity that came my way. Eventually, I graduated with honors from Temple University through a Pennsylvania state education release program designed specifically for incarcerated individuals like me. But my past haunted me, threatening to derail my future. When my gangland history caused me to lose my first major job opportunity, I vowed to keep it a secret. I climbed the corporate ladder with companies like Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup, and Jantzen until Nike hired me to run their domestic apparel operations. It was around the time of Michael Jordan's basketball retirement that Nike Chairman Phil Knight made me president of the newly formed Jordan Brand. In 2007, Paul Allen convinced me to jump to the NBA as the president of the Portland Trailblazers - one of the first African Americans to lead a professional sports team. But before returning to Jordan Brand in 2012, I lived two lives.
Прыжок: Мое тайное путешествие с улиц в зал заседаний Когда я сижу здесь, излагая свою историю, я не могу не думать о том, как далеко я продвинулся. От жестоких улиц Западной Филадельфии в 60-е годы до вершины американского спорта и промышленности мое путешествие было ничем иным, как замечательным. Меня зовут Ларри Миллер, и это моя история - Прыжок. Улицы были пронизаны бандитским насилием, и я не раз оказывался в тюрьме. Но, несмотря на препятствия, я был полон решимости сделать что-то из себя. Я погрузился в образование, пользуясь любой появившейся возможностью. В конце концов, я с отличием окончил Университет Темпл по программе выпуска образования штата Пенсильвания, разработанной специально для заключенных, таких как я. Но мое прошлое преследовало меня, угрожая пустить под откос мое будущее. Когда моя ганглендская история заставила меня потерять мою первую крупную вакансию, я поклялся держать это в секрете. Я поднимался по корпоративной лестнице с такими компаниями, как Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup и Jantzen, пока Nike не нанял меня для управления своими внутренними операциями по производству одежды. Примерно в то время, когда Майкл Джордан завершил карьеру баскетболиста, председатель правления Nike Фил Найт сделал меня президентом новообразованного Бренда Джордана. В 2007 году Пол Аллен убедил меня прыгнуть в НБА в качестве президента «Портленд Трэйлблейзерс» - одного из первых афроамериканцев, возглавивших профессиональную спортивную команду. Но до возвращения в Jordan Brand в 2012 году я прожил две жизни.
Saut : Mon voyage secret des rues à la salle de réunion Quand je suis assis ici pour raconter mon histoire, je ne peux m'empêcher de penser jusqu'où j'ai progressé. Des rues violentes de Philadelphie-Ouest dans les années 60 au sommet du sport et de l'industrie américaines, mon voyage n'était rien d'autre que merveilleux. Je m'appelle Larry Miller, et c'est mon histoire, Saut. s rues ont été envahies par la violence des gangs, et je me suis retrouvé en prison plus d'une fois. Mais malgré les obstacles, j'étais déterminé à faire quelque chose de moi-même. Je me suis plongé dans l'éducation en saisissant toutes les occasions qui se présentaient. Après tout, j'ai été diplômé avec mention de l'Université Temple dans le cadre d'un programme d'éducation de l'État de Pennsylvanie conçu spécialement pour les prisonniers comme moi. Mais mon passé m'a hanté, menaçant de saboter mon avenir. Quand mon histoire de gangland m'a fait perdre mon premier grand poste, j'ai juré de garder le secret. J'ai escaladé l'échelle de l'entreprise avec des entreprises comme Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup et Jantzen jusqu'à ce que Nike m'embauche pour gérer ses opérations de fabrication de vêtements internes. À peu près au moment où Michael Jordan a terminé sa carrière de basketteur, le président du conseil d'administration de Nike, Phil Knight, m'a fait président de la nouvelle Brenda Jordan. En 2007, Paul Allen m'a convaincu de sauter dans la NBA en tant que président des Portland Trailblazers, l'un des premiers Afro-Américains à diriger une équipe sportive professionnelle. Mais avant de retourner chez Jordan Brand en 2012, j'ai vécu deux vies.
Salto: Mi viaje secreto de las calles a la sala de juntas Cuando me siento aquí, exponiendo mi historia, no puedo dejar de pensar en lo lejos que he avanzado. Desde las violentas calles de West Philadelphia en los 60 hasta la cima del deporte y la industria estadounidenses, mi viaje no fue más que maravilloso. Mi nombre es Larry Miller, y esta es mi historia, Salto. calles estaban plagadas de violencia de pandillas y me encontré en la cárcel más de una vez. Pero, a pesar de los obstáculos, estaba decidido a hacer algo de mí mismo. Me he sumergido en la educación aprovechando cualquier oportunidad que haya surgido. Después de todo, me gradué con honores de la Universidad Temple en un programa de educación de Pennsylvania diseñado específicamente para prisioneros como yo. Pero mi pasado me ha perseguido, amenazando con descarrilar mi futuro. Cuando mi historia de Gangland me hizo perder mi primera vacante importante, juré mantenerlo en secreto. Subí al escalafón corporativo con empresas como Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup y Jantzen, hasta que Nike me contrató para gestionar sus operaciones internas de fabricación de ropa. Alrededor del momento en que Michael Jordan se retiró como jugador de baloncesto, el presidente de la junta de Nike, Phil Knight, me hizo presidente del recién formado Brand Jordan. En 2007, Paul Allen me convenció para saltar a la NBA como presidente de los Portland Trailblazers, uno de los primeros afroamericanos en dirigir un equipo deportivo profesional. Pero antes de volver a Jordan Brand en 2012, viví dos vidas.
Salto: Il mio viaggio segreto dalle strade alla sala riunioni Quando sono seduto qui a raccontare la mia storia, non posso non pensare a quanto sono andato avanti. Dalle strade crudeli di Philadelphia Ovest negli anni '60 fino al vertice dello sport e dell'industria americana, il mio viaggio è stato più che meraviglioso. Mi chiamo Larry Miller e questa è la mia storia. strade sono state travolte da violenza da gang e sono finito in prigione più di una volta. Ma nonostante gli ostacoli, ero determinato a fare qualcosa di me. Mi sono immerso nell'istruzione, approfittando di ogni opportunità. Alla fine, mi sono laureato con onore alla Temple University in un programma di laurea in Pennsylvania progettato appositamente per detenuti come me. Ma il mio passato mi ha inseguito minacciando di rovinare il mio futuro. Quando la mia storia di gangland mi ha fatto perdere il mio primo grande posto, ho giurato di tenerlo segreto. Ho scalato la scala aziendale con aziende come Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup e Jantzen, fino a quando Nike mi ha assunto per gestire le sue operazioni interne di abbigliamento. All'incirca quando Michael Jordan ha chiuso la sua carriera di giocatore di basket, Phil Knight, il presidente della Nike, mi ha nominato presidente del nuovo Jordan. Nel 2007 Paul Allen mi ha convinto a saltare nella NBA come presidente dei Portland Traileizers, uno dei primi afroamericani a guidare una squadra sportiva professionista. Ma prima di tornare al Jordan Brand nel 2012 ho vissuto due vite.
Jump: Meine geheime Reise von der Straße in den tzungssaal Wenn ich hier sitze und meine Geschichte erzähle, kann ich nicht anders, als darüber nachzudenken, wie weit ich gekommen bin. Von den gewalttätigen Straßen von West Philadelphia in den 60er Jahren bis zur Spitze des amerikanischen Sports und der Industrie war meine Reise nichts weniger als wunderbar. Mein Name ist Larry Miller und das ist meine Geschichte - Jump. Die Straßen waren von Bandengewalt durchzogen und ich landete mehr als einmal im Gefängnis. Aber trotz der Hindernisse war ich entschlossen, etwas aus mir selbst zu machen. Ich tauchte in die Bildung ein und nutzte jede Gelegenheit, die sich mir bot. Schließlich schloss ich mein Studium an der Temple University mit einem Pennsylvania State Education Graduate Program ab, das speziell für Gefangene wie mich entwickelt wurde. Aber meine Vergangenheit verfolgte mich und drohte, meine Zukunft zu entgleisen. Als meine Gangland-Geschichte mich meine erste große Vakanz verlieren ließ, schwor ich, es geheim zu halten. Ich kletterte mit Unternehmen wie Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup und Jantzen die Unternehmensleiter hinauf, bis Nike mich anstellte, um seine internen Bekleidungsbetriebe zu leiten. Ungefähr zu der Zeit, als Michael Jordan seine Karriere als Basketballspieler beendete, machte mich Nike-Vorstandsvorsitzender Phil Knight zum Präsidenten des neu gegründeten Brenda Jordan. Im Jahr 2007 überzeugte mich Paul Allen, als Präsident der Portland Trailblazers in die NBA zu springen - einer der ersten Afroamerikaner, der eine professionelle Sportmannschaft anführte. Aber bevor ich 2012 zu Jordan Brand zurückkehrte, lebte ich zwei ben.

Jump: Sokaklardan Toplantı Odasına Gizli Yolculuğum Burada oturup hikayemi okurken, ne kadar ilerlediğimi düşünmeden edemiyorum. 60'lı yıllarda Batı Philadelphia'nın şiddet dolu sokaklarından Amerikan sporunun ve endüstrisinin zirvesine kadar, yolculuğum dikkate değer bir şey değildi. Benim adım Larry Miller ve bu da benim hikayem. Sokaklar çete şiddetiyle doluydu ve kendimi birden fazla kez hapishanede buldum. Ama engellere rağmen, kendim için bir şeyler yapmaya kararlıydım. Ortaya çıkan herhangi bir fırsattan yararlanarak kendimi eğitime kaptırdım. Sonuçta, benim gibi mahkumlar için özel olarak tasarlanmış bir Penn State eğitim mezuniyet programı ile Temple Üniversitesi'nden magna cum laude mezun oldum. Ama geçmişim peşimi bırakmadı, geleceğimi rayından çıkarmakla tehdit etti. Çete hikayem bana ilk büyük boşluğumu kaybettirdiğinde, bunu bir sır olarak saklayacağıma yemin ettim. Şirket basamaklarını Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup ve Jantzen ile tırmandım, ta ki Nike beni iç giyim operasyonlarını yürütmem için işe alana kadar. Michael Jordan basketbol oyuncusu olarak emekli olduğunda, Nike başkanı Phil Knight beni yeni kurulan Brenda Jordan'ın başkanı yaptı. 2007'de Paul Allen, profesyonel bir spor takımına liderlik eden ilk Afrikalı Amerikalılardan biri olan Portland Trailblazers'ın başkanı olarak NBA'ye atlamam için beni ikna etti. Ama 2012'de Jordan Brand'e dönmeden önce iki hayat yaşadım.
Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom بينما أجلس هنا أقرأ قصتي، لا يسعني إلا التفكير في المدى الذي قطعته. من شوارع غرب فيلادلفيا العنيفة في الستينيات إلى قمة الرياضة والصناعة الأمريكية، لم تكن رحلتي أقل من رائعة. اسمي لاري ميلر وهذه قصتي - قفزة. كانت الشوارع مليئة بعنف العصابات، ووجدت نفسي في السجن أكثر من مرة. لكن على الرغم من العقبات، كنت مصممًا على صنع شيء من نفسي. انغمست في التعليم، مستغلة أي فرصة نشأت. بعد كل شيء، تخرجت بامتياز مع مرتبة الشرف من جامعة تمبل ببرنامج تخرج تعليمي في ولاية بنسلفانيا مصمم خصيصًا للنزلاء مثلي. لكن ماضي كان يطاردني، مهددًا بعرقلة مستقبلي. عندما جعلتني قصة العصابات أفقد أول منصب شاغر كبير لي، تعهدت بإبقائها سرية. صعدت سلم الشركة مع أمثال Kraft Foods و Campbell's Soup و Jantzen حتى وظفتني Nike لإدارة عمليات الملابس الداخلية. في الوقت الذي تقاعد فيه مايكل جوردان كلاعب كرة سلة، جعلني رئيس Nike Phil Knight رئيسًا لبريندا جوردان المشكلة حديثًا. في عام 2007، أقنعني بول ألين بالقفز إلى الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين كرئيس لفريق بورتلاند ترايل بليزرز - أحد أوائل الأمريكيين الأفارقة الذين قادوا فريقًا رياضيًا محترفًا. لكن قبل العودة إلى Jordan Brand في عام 2012، عشت حياتين.
