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.”

Yeah 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.)

To go along with that recommendation, I'd add Chouinard's book:

Watch the original ... 180 South was based on ... Mountain of Storms:

This is great, thanks! I was wondering where the guy who made the other documentary got the old footage.

The youtube video is unfortunately unavailable in my country (USA).

we 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..
