In this episode of the ScaleX insider podcast, I am chatting with a pioneer who helped shape Patagonia from its very start. Co-founder of ‘Our Footprint’, in-house philosopher, and co-author alongside Yvon Chouinard of ‘The Responsible Company’ series, Vincent’s influence has spanned five decades. He’s not just a thought leader; he’s a resident fellow at Yale’s Centre for Business and Environment, embodying sustainable business practices. With a rich history at Patagonia, including executive roles and the development of impactful initiatives like the Footprint Chronicles, Common Threads Partnership, and Patagonia Books, he currently serves as the company’s Director of Patagonia Philosophy. Beyond business, he’s a poet whose work has graced ‘Best American Poetry,’ adding a creative touch to his multifaceted journey.
