I reinvented myself after selling my business by immersing myself in personal development and reading influential books, which shaped my approach to building Lululemon.

I knew Lululemon was going to take off when I saw women confidently wearing our tights in public, which validated our product's success.

I saw a massive market opportunity in yoga apparel for women who were stylish, active, and had disposable income, which had not been addressed before.

I recognized that the clothing for yoga was inadequate, so I developed high-quality, functional yoga apparel that women could wear both in and out of the studio.

The turning point for Lululemon came when we opened a new store and my wife, who was essentially running the company, helped us achieve rapid growth.

The culture at Lululemon was built on setting goals based on the present rather than the future, which kept our team motivated and aligned.

I believe that progress in activities like yoga or weightlifting is valuable, even if you don't aim to become an expert.

I worked as an engineer at Abbott Vascular and a smaller startup, but I felt an urge to start my own company at 24, driven by my past health experiences.

After a traumatic accident that left me with severe spinal injuries, I chose not to undergo surgery. Instead, I focused on the belief that my mind could heal my body, which set me on a path of exploration into the power of the mind.
