Mindy Grossman once shocked her parents by dropping out of college and moving to New York
Grossman, who's been ranked among Forbes' 100 most powerful women in multiple years, was on a completely different trajectory as she neared her graduation from George Washington University in the mid-1970s.
"I woke up one morning and had an epiphany, but I'm sure it wasn't truly that one morning. It had been on my mind," she told"But that one morning I woke up and said, 'I can't do this. I have to change the course of my life. And if I don't — and I continue down this path, it's gonna be very hard to take it back later'. And with that, I called my parents and I said, 'I have something to tell you. I'm breaking my engagement.
"Now if you look at Nike, you look at how it's grown and how it's a leader in fashion. And that started a long time ago with Mindy," says Serena Williams, who collaborated with Grossman at Nike and when she made her next, typically unpredictable, move to become CEO of IAC Retail, which was the home of the Home Shopping Network.
