This resurfaced 2019 conversation with Patagonia’s Vincent Stanley remains one of the most replayed episodes in our archive because it offers a grounded look at how culture, strategy, and operations work inside a company that has shaped the global conversation on responsible business. In part three of our four part series, Vincent reflects on Patagonia’s evolution, its approach to marketing and activism, its expansions into film, food, and impact investing, and how the company has navigated questions of authenticity for decades. He also shares how the B Impact Assessment influenced Patagonia’s decisions and what the future looks like as the next generation leads.
