This guy turned a $40,000 loan into a $3.3+ Billion Dollar empire by revolutionizing athletic wear. Meet Kevin Plank, the Founder of Under Armour. In 1996, Kevin was a 23-year-old University of Maryland football player who was fed up with sweat-soaked cotton shirts. He wanted a shirt that would keep athletes dry and comfortable. Kevin started making prototypes using his $40,000 dollar loan. His breakthrough came when he convinced local teams to give it a try. Despite initial resistance, Under Armour exploded in popularity, and within a decade, the brand was a household name. Today, it's worth over $20 Billion dollars. Kevin's story shows that a single idea can change an entire industry, proving that persistence and innovation can lead to incredible success.
