Shoemaker tells Joe Foster’s inspiring story, revealing the grit, hard choices and personal sacrifices that go into creating a world-beating brand.

The purpose of the Resiliency & Leadership SHOEMAKER Global Tour 2022-2023 with Joe Foster is to inspire current and aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders globally.

We have just experienced one of the most challenging years for entrepreneurs and business leaders in 2020-2021. Many businesses have closed, and many are just holding on. It is estimated that many more will be shutting their doors in 2022 and we will be facing some challenging times in 2023. At the same time there are tremendous opportunities to start new businesses and keep the spirit of entrepreneurship alive. Joe’s story is one of resilience, grit and determination, and he is enthusiastic about using it to give hope to current and aspiring business leaders and

Joe Foster: The Shoemaker that built a global brand

Joseph William Foster (Joe Foster) was born in 1935 in Bolton England with the same birthday 18th May, as his grandfather, also Joseph William Foster who had died 18 months earlier. Joe’s grandfather was the founder of J W Foster & Sons (Athletic Shoes) Ltd and the inventor of the Spiked Running Shoe and the Trainer (Sneaker).

Joe and his late brother Jeff were born into the J W Foster & family business, but on their return after 2 years away from home on National Service, they asked questions. The year was 1955 and the brothers saw a business still rooted in the 1930’s.

Their Father and Uncle were now operating the business and very much like another Sports Shoe company, spent more time feuding than collaborating. The result was that in 1958 Joe and Jeff left the Foster business to set up a new Sports Shoe company.

The brothers founded Mercury Sports Footwear, which after 18 months they changed its name to REEBOK. Joe had been advised to protect their company’s name by registering it.

By 1965, Joe was on his way to the NSGA (National Sporting Goods of America) Show in Chicago, which was the start of many Global adventures and experiences that after 15 years brought him together with Paul Fireman and later many Stars of film and television.

As the surviving Founder of Reebok, Joe still welcomes the opportunity to travel and recount those early stories from start-up to taking the company to a $4 billion business, overtaking Adidas & Nike to become the Worlds No. 1 sports brand. Joe has written his book Shoemaker to share his story and help inspire the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.

Emmanuel “Manny” Ohonme

Emmanuel “Manny” Ohonme is the Co-Founder, President and CEO of Samaritan’s Feet International, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that shares hope with those in need by washing their feet and giving them a new pair of shoes. Manny grew up in Nigeria and received his first pair of tennis shoes at the age of nine from a “Good Samaritan” visiting his country. Those shoes became a symbol of hope as Manny earned a college basketball scholarship in the U.S. and later started a career in technology. But, Manny never forgot the children of his homeland or the “Good Samaritan.” In 2003, Manny and his wife, Tracie, founded Samaritan’s Feet and distributed more than 9.4 million pairs of shoes in 109 countries and over 560 U.S. cities.

Gris Bailey

An Independent Business Leader who builds effective communities and leadership teams to embody the mission of the organization, using constant assessment and strategic plans as a compass for growth and results. 15+ years experience in Leadership, Market Research, Business Development, Sales Training, Marketing, Education, Policy, Reform and Social Impact Entrepreneurship.

LEADERSHIP – Model, Inspire, & Lead. Leaders grow people and expand missions! Positive and participative leadership style.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP – I think deep down, we all crave the capability to generate (significant) income while at the same time impacting the world. Regardless of the industry you are in, people development should always come first. Social issues are solved through people’s development/ elevated consciousness.

EDUCATION – Knowledge alone will not change a person’s circumstances; it’s the application of that knowledge that will change a person’s life.

MANAGEMENT- It is better to find a motivated individual and work hard at transferring skills than to find a skilled individual and work hard to motivate them.
