I can attribute my knowledge and love for business to the few reputable businesses that I have worked for in my life - the most influential is Patagonia. As I prepare for college in the fall, I start to reflect on my experiences working at Patagonia. Above is my boss and business mentor Yvon Chouinard the owner and founder of Patagonia. He has created a culture that is a mirror image of his personality in the video above; simply down to earth. The culture at Patagonia is one that is embedded in its mission statement -- to build the best product, to cause no unnecessary harm and to use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis -- and its core values of quality, integrity, environmentalism and not being bound by convention. To be long lasting and successful, a company must live, breathe and think with its principles and values... they will ensure the preservation of the culture and the personality that your company stands for.
