BHP Shorts 054: Lessons From Patagonia Founder Yvon Chouinard Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

In this BHP Short, I'm sharing some important lessons from Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia and his best-selling book, Let My People Go Surfing.

This book was at the core of our conversations when we started the Better Human Project 2 years ago. To say it made a big impact on all 3 of us - Josh, Ry and myself - would be an understatement. Each of us had read the book indepently of the other, yet it's influence on us was evident. We each wanted to incorporate much of the lessons from this book into what we were (and are) building.

And we're not alone. Everyone I know who has read this book has been impacted similarly: including previous BHP guests Logan Gelbrich and Brian McDonell.

My Top Takeaways from Yvon Chouinard's Let My People Go Surfing:

Perfection is not nothing more to add, but nothing more to remove. - Zen Saying
The more you know, the less you need.
Admit what you don't know. Ask for help.
We can't wait until we have all the answers to act.
Be an owner, not a consumer.
Immobile pessimists and nonchalant optimists are the same: nothing gets done.
The cure for depression is action.
Art > Fashion
- Timeless vs. passé
We all need to embrace and embody Full Cost Accounting
Examples of Full Cost Accounting:
- If the entire planet farmed like the USA we would deplete the globe in 7 years
- We consume 1" of topsoil per year. It takes nature 1000 years to create that 1"
- 1 bushel of corn in Midwest (monoculture farm) requires 2 bushels of topsoil
1 cotton T-shirt requires 700 gallons of water.
- How many t shirts do you have? how many do you need?
Since 1940s veggies lost 75% of nutrient content and fruits lost 66%
Patagonia Ethos:
- Lead an examined life (uncurious people do not lead examined lives. Ask more questions)
- Do your part
- Do good
- Inspire others
We are what we DO. Not what we say we are.
The path to mastery is to work towards simplicity

PRESS PLAY to hear the full breakdown.

BHP Shorts 053: What Ice Cream Flavor Are You? Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

There is famous marketing advice that argues “nobody buys vanilla”.

The lesson of the advice is to be uniquely you, and on an edgier note, to have the courage to attract or repel.

I liken this to choosing our favorite ice cream flavor.

Baskin Robbins famously has 31 flavor choices… So how many go in there to order vanilla?

In a cruel twist of fate for that marketing advice, vanilla is actually the top selling flavor at Baskin-Robbins, followed by Chocolate, Mint Chocolate Chip, Pralines ‘n Cream, and Chocolate Chip.

Vanilla isn’t just the top choice at 3 flavors HQ: Around the country, Vanilla and Chocolate are the top selling flavors. After those two, the Top 5 flavors are: Coffee, Mint Chocolate Chip, Brownie, Strawberry, and Cookie Dough (not in that order).

So actual ice cream choices don’t support the marketing advice that “nobody buys vanilla”. Truth is, vanilla is safe – and lends itself to the widest variety of collaborations and partnerships (aka, toppings).

But as a stand alone flavor… well, I’ll ask you: If you were an ice cream flavor, which flavor would you be?

I’ll argue that if we have to rely on outside adornments, we’re not as strong as we’d like to be.

So, here’s the real lesson. Don’t be afraid to be uniquely you.

In fact, pursue that uniqueness to its fullest expression.

I don’t care if you’re rocky road, mint chocolate chip, or espresso…be the best freaking version of that flavor you can be. Don’t be watered-down mint chocolate chip.
