Often called Patagonia’s storyteller, Vincent has been with the company since 1973. Vincent wrote the company’s initial ad copy, led Patagonia’s sales and marketing efforts for two decades, co-authored The Responsible Company with Patagonia’s founder Yvon Chouinard, and taught employees at every level about the history and culture of the organization.

In June 2020, Patrick sat down with NYT bestselling author and former Harvard Business Review editor to discuss the question: How Will You Measure Your Life. Today? Now is a great time to revisit that question. 

How will you measure your life? That can be a very daunting question but answering it can make all the difference. Regardless of where you are in your life, determining how you are going to measure how you lived your life is better figured out right now. Karen sits down with Patrick in the lab to discuss her answer to the question and to challenge all of us to do the same. Find Karen at www.karendillon.net
