This week’s featured idealist is Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, the outdoor clothing and adventure store. Early on, Yvon made his mark as an idealist by devoting one percent of Patagonia’s revenue to protecting the environment and fighting climate change. In 2022, Yvon, by then a billionaire, donated his entire company’s stock to a trust and a specially-created nonprofit that will ensure that Patagonia will never be sold and that it’s mission around climate change will continue. The Big Interview is with Sierra Grady, an advocate for understanding and protecting those who are neurodiverse. In the C-Block, I talk about speaking in far southeastern MN and moving the needle!
