Personal hero of mine. He pops up in lots of mountaineering documentaries. If only more CEOs were like this.
“I realized we were just growing for the sake of growing, which is bullshit.”
- samvher 7y agoYeah I really recommend the documentary 180° South [1] which has both Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (The North Face) and has them talking about their philosophy and conservation efforts as well. (A guy retraces a journey these two made in Patagonia back in the 60s.)

- samvher 7y agoThis is great, thanks! I was wondering where the guy who made the other documentary got the old footage.
- iamvik 7y agowe don't grow "for the sake of growing", there's plenty of poor people in the world that need that growth. Whether that growth reaches them is another story..
