About this listen

The unauthorized story of Lululemon.

This is a book about ordinary people who took an opportunity to be creative, to be innovative, and to maximize their potential.

Chip Wilson’s part in this story comes from the learning of thousands of mistakes. He set the culture, business model, quality platform, and people development program and then got out of the way. Lululemon’s exponential growth, culture, and brand strength have few peers, and it is because of those employees who choose to be great.

This book is also about missed opportunity - five years of missed opportunity. Chip was playing to win while the directors of the company he founded were playing not to lose.

Building a great company is always hard. We, the founders, need to be super cautious about all the bureaucracy that professional management brings!

This was a great book to listen to for many reasons. Very relatable to my life, and now being an educator at lulu myself, I am able to understand the foundation of how this amazing company became who it is. Chip is very honest and upfront. It is hard to find people who are ok with telling the past knowing it wasn't perfect.

Very engaging

Imagine sitting with a billionaire and asking him any questions you want. Well, he answered all of them. What a great story from the ground up. I wish I could get amnesia so I could reread this book(kidding…maybe not)!

Great Great Great (the Detail is mesmerizing)

Very cool story that reminded me of Shoe Dog with more cultural lessons. Very cool that it was also narrated by Chip and his family!

A unique perspective.
