About the event
Beach read alert!
On Wednesday, September 9 at 12pm EDT we will be hosting a book talk, moderated by RMS board member Faye Landes, with New York Times Reporter David Gelles about his bestseller Dirtbag Billionaire: How Yvon Chouinard Built Patagonia, Made a Fortune, and Gave it All Away.
Publisher’s Weekly calls Dirtbag Billionaire “a riveting behind-the-scenes look at a businessman who marches to the beat of his own drum.” The brand’s backstory is fascinating, and Gelles had exceptional access to Chouinard, a truly visionary as well as idiosyncratic founder.
