The Philosophy of Patagonia's Yvon Chouinard (Let My People Go Surfing Summary)

Patagonia Founder Yvon Chouinard didn’t set out to be a businessperson. As he mentions in this book, Let My People Go Surfing, he grew up wanting to be a fur trapper.
He’s responsible for starting what would ultimately become one of the most successful and well-regarded outdoor clothing brands.
In this book, Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman, he shares the history of his life, the early days of Patagonia, and coming to terms with his “profession” as a person in business.
With a summary, key quotes, and lessons learned, let’s dive in to this Read Ensemble video.
