In this episode of Emerging, we take a deep dive into the outdoor apparel industry. Our guest, Joe Basta, is the co-founder of a revolutionary company based in Fort Collins, Colorado. After years of pursuing various entrepreneurial ventures, Joe and his wife, Mellisa, founded Tellus with a mission to make a meaningful impact. While many companies today pledge 1% for the planet, Tellus goes a step further—donating 100% of its profits to The Nature Conservancy, supporting the protection of land and oceans both near and far from Fort Collins.
