Pick 1 of the following podcasts about entrepreneurs of "environmental" companies (Stonyfield Yogurt, Patagonia, Whole Foods or Burt's Bees). Compare/contrast and discuss the following:

  •  backgrounds (college degrees or lack of, family businesses)
  •  comfort level with risks/personality traits and other intangible traits 
  •  their idea of success
  •  work/life balance and family dynamics
  •  biggest hurdle in the life of the company so far
  •  personal connection with the environment and how does that translate to their companies (you may have to do some additional research)
  • any connections between the companies you picked
  • skills versus luck
