You’ve probably seen Patagonia’s famous jackets - on hikers or startup founders. But the brand started with a climber, Yvon Chouinard, who forged his own climbing gear to fund his trips.
Hey! I saw your post pop up on my homepage and wanted to show some support. If you get a chance, I’d really appreciate a little love on my latest newsletter too always happy to boost each other!
If you enjoy historical fiction, I’m your guy. Along with my other short-stories, I want to entertain you in a diverse manner. I’m twelve short-stories in to my series “The Ambassador and the King.” Its about Ambassador Joe Kennedy (father of President John Kennedy) being a secret backer in the rise of singer Elvis Presley’s career. Two very interesting and very different persons come together in this series. “Cameo appearances” by Queen Elizabeth II, then-Vice-President Richard Nixon, then-President Dwight Eisenhower, singer Frank Sinatra, and others to come. If you even remotely enjoy history, if you even remotely like Elvis, check it out. I drop several short-stories weekly in my portfolio. I’ve published 109 short-stories since I began writing on New Year’s Day. Read any 3-4, you’ll be addicted. Subscribe today - still fully-free.
Subscribe to my substack. I am an everyday writer and a Book Author. I write about Geopolitics, Economics, Science, Technology, Futurism, and many more. Please subscribe.
With Patagonia Yvon and his team have set an example of what a business should be: it should add to the world, contribute instead of deplete and it should have a conscious. Now my big take away is that to build a legacy company, it is essential to build from the heart. Not from the desired profits, trophies or fame and money. Wish more companies would follow in these footsteps.
