Arena Show Part II: Brooks Running (with CEO Jim Weber)

For the final act of the Arena Show, we’re joined by Brooks CEO
Jim Weber to tell the amazing story of how he transformed the
company from a 3rd tier, deeply cashflow negative “also-ran” into
one of the world’s premiere fitness brands and a crown jewel of
the Berkshire Hathaway empire — with compounding revenue and
cashflow growth that rivals even the legendary Mrs. See’s
Candies!
