There's a great podcast series from NPR called How I Built This. They recently interviewed Patagonia's founder Yvon Chouinard: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/national-public-radio/how-i-built-this/e/patagonia-yvon-chouinard-48508362 http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/national-public-radio/how-i-... I found it inspiring. If you're unfamiliar with the podcast, it's focused on makers and entrepreneurs.

+1 to this, this was one of the best podcasts I've heard recently. I didn't know anything about Patagonia at all before listening, but it really made me respect him and his company.

Another interesting podcast here, with the story of how Chouinard gave the CEO position of Patagonia spin-off Black Diamond to Peter Metcalf http://enormocast.com/episode-90-peter-metcalf-big-peaks-and-high-stakes/ http://enormocast.com/episode-90-peter-metcalf-big-peaks-and...

That was a great episode! For those looking for even more Chouinard, check out the documentary 180° South. (Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWBz_pxYC0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWBz_pxYC0A)
