Earth the Shareholder, with Patagonia’s CEO 9/21/22

Patagonia’s founding family is redirecting their billions to fight climate change and preserve our Earth; the move has sparked conversation about ‘woke capitalism’ and a company’s impact on the world, versus its return to shareholders. Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert discusses his predecessor’s choice to “make Earth its only shareholder,” and whether the drastic move will really make a difference. Axios co-founder Mike Allen discusses former President Trump’s strategy for announcing another run for office, President Biden taking a hard line against Russia, and his new book on succinct journalism, ‘Smart Brevity.’ Plus, Europe’s energy crisis is threatening small businesses, and a new study shows, anxiety strikes all ages.
