Helgi Óskarsson of Iceland's very own, 66°North

My guest this week is Helgi Óskarsson, co-owner, and CEO of 66°North.

Helgi and I discuss how the nearly 100-year-old brand began by making clothes for Icelandic fishermen, with the goal of saving lives, how that naturally led to a commitment to sustainability, and how building things to last -- whether a coat or a company -- changes how you think and act.
