In 1963, Ferrari insulted a tractor manufacturer in Northern Italy.

That tractor manufacture would become a $11B problem for Ferrari.

A wild story on revenge and listening to your customer.
Yesterday @agazdecki shared a tweet about listening to your customers that made me think.

What's the craziest story of someone who didn't listen?

Let's find out 👇
In 1916 in Renazzo, Italy, a young man named Ferruccio was born to a family of grape farmers.

In 2014, Kobe Bryant invested $6M in sports drink company Body Armour.

Today, Coca-Cola bought the company for $5.6B, which will net his family up to $500M.

Here's the story:
In 2011 Bodyarmour was founded by Mike Repole and Lance Collins in Queens, NY.

Mike and Lance both had extensive experience in the beverage world.

Lance had already founded Fuze and Nos.

Mike, Vitamin Water & Smart Water.
The two set out to create a sports drink that was healthier than what was currently on the market.

Sara Blakely sold @SPANX today for $1.2B

SPANX was stared with just $5,000 and never took any investor money.

Here's the story of how she did it, and how several men almost killed it 👇
Sara graduated college with plans to become an attorney.

But those plans were quickly derailed when she kept receiving low scores on her LSAT test (the test taken to get into U.S. law schools).

So Sara took a job a Disney World as a ride reader.
After the Disney World stint, Sara took a job selling fax machines.

Sara found some success in selling the fax machines and was eventually promoted to national sales trainer at age 25.

She didn't know it at the time, but the skill developed here were crucial to launching SPANX.
