The Story of Clif Bar Inc. is about a journey toward sustaining your business, brand, people, community and the planet. This is an unusual and inspiring story about following your passion, having the freedom to create, sustaining a business over the long haul and living responsibly in your community and on the earth. "Raising the Bar" chronicles Clif Bar's ascent from a homemade energy bar to a $100 million phenomenon with an estimated 35 million customers and a company hailed by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. four years in a row. It's filled with compelling stories from Erickson's life--trekking in the Himalaya Mountains, riding his bicycle over roadless European mountain passes, climbing in the Sierra Nevada--as inspiration for his philosophy of business. Throughout the book, Erickson, a competitive cyclist, jazz musician, world traveler, mountain climber, wilderness guide and entrepreneur, convinces us that sustaining one's employees, community and environment is good business.
Made in USA.
