On the Friday edition, Howard Beck welcomes longtime Jordan Brand and Nike executive Larry Miller, to discuss his biography, “Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom.” In the book, Miller divulges for the first time his dark past as a gang member in West Philadelphia, and describes the day in 1965 when he shot and killed another teen. Miller told his story to Beck for an SI Daily Cover in October. Now they discuss everything that’s happened since – including a meeting between Miller and the family of his victim.
