In this episode of Humans of Travel, Arushanyan shares more about his career trajectory, reflects on what sets Globus apart in the tour operator space and speaks to the evolution of touring.

Patagonia has long stood as the north star for companies striving to create meaningful impact and proving that business can thrive with purpose. Today, Patagonia stands alone in its ownership model: it has one shareholder—the planet. Instead of “going public,” Patagonia famously “went purpose,” restructuring in 2022 so that 100% of its voting stock flows into the Patagonia Purpose Trust to guard its values, and 100% of its non-voting stock now supports the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit fighting the environmental crisis. Each year, every dollar not needed to run the business moves directly to protecting nature. It's a business that invites people into the beauty of the outdoors while safeguarding the planet that makes those adventures possible.We invited Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy at Patagonia—and one of its very first employees—to reflect on the decades of learning, experimentation, humility, and courage that shaped Patagonia's journey. Vincent explores topics from the company's early fiber-to-farm revelations and culture-defining philosophy classes, to its iconic “Don't Buy This Jacket” campaign, industry-shaping activism, and bold ownership redesign. For any leader or organization seeking to deepen its impact, Vincent offers rare insights into what it truly takes to build a business where profit becomes a byproduct of purpose.Listen for insights on:Transforming harm discovery into long-term environmental innovationChallenging consumerism through bold, values-led storytellingBuilding company culture through shared responsibility and lived valuesCollaborating across industries to advance standards and certificationsResources + Links:Watch this episode on YouTubeVincent StanleyPatagonia's OwnershipThe Responsible CompanyPatagonia Action Works (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (01:07) - Meet Vincent Stanley, Patagonia (04:26) - Vincent's Background (07:55) - Director of Philosophy (10:37) - Company Ethos (11:57) - If Nature Could Talk (13:15) - Pivot Points (15:58) - Seeing the Fields (17:32) - Role as Storyteller (21:10) - Black Friday (24:50) - Quality Is an Environmental Issue (27:03) - Fair Trade and Culture (31:12) - Showing Authenticity (32:45) - Patagonia Action Works (33:42) - Change in Ownership (36:32) - Feelings at the Time (37:22) - Message to Future Leaders (39:40) - Last Words (41:07) - Wrap Up

AI can handle entry-level tasks today, but at what cost to your future leadership? Many companies are accidentally "hollowing out" their talent pipeline by cutting junior roles, creating a massive gap that will haunt them in five years. Efficiency today shouldn't come at the expense of your leaders tomorrow. How do we thoughtfully architect the future workforce to prioritize the health and depth of the leadership bench? In this episode, Melanie Tinto, CHRO of Grainger, joins us to explore how the company utilizes Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) to ensure a "tech powered, human led" organization that balances automation with career development. This discipline informs every aspect of Grainger's talent strategy, from navigating the impact of AI to addressing talent shortages. We look into the necessity of viewing workforce planning as a mirror to financial planning, focusing on the strategic migration of roles and skills rather than simple headcount reduction. Key highlights include managing the surge of AI-generated job applications, the importance of foundational talent programs such as maintaining the campus recruiting "spigot," and transitioning toward a skills-based organization through internal upskilling and "build vs. buy" strategies. This episode is the CHROs' blueprint to become strategic visionaries who stay three moves ahead of market disruption. Discover how to master these critical "chess moves" before the talent gap becomes irreversible.   ---------- Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Trump signals doubts about Reza Pahlavi's ability to lead Iran, calling him “nice” but questioning real support on the ground. The panel debates whether Iran needs a battle-tested leader, why Trump won't fully back regime change, and why a “Zoom-call leader” won't close the deal.
