“Everyone said it was an overnight success, except those few of us who knew it was eight years of effort to do so.”
I’ve always loved how Tim Leatherman describes the birth of his eponymous brand, a reminder that we rarely see the blood, sweat and gears that go into an idea long before it becomes reality and, eventually, a household name.
If that sort of thing intrigues you too, you’ll be stoked to learn about the brand’s latest release, which will not fix a leaky faucet, though it could help level a table when you are done reading (ba-dum-tss).
I’m talking, of course, about The Leatherman Book.
Humble origins
While details are a bit scant at the moment, the elevator pitch for this book is that it tells Tim’s inspiring personal story as a how-to guide for aspiring entrepreneurs and others chasing their own crazy dreams.
Having met the man himself (whom I am calling Tim to distinguish from the brand) several years ago, I have high hopes for the 288-page hardcover tome, published by Ballantine Books.
