The Hippie Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder & Other Mountains by Skip Yowell, JanSport co-founder
The Hippie Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder & Other Mountains chronicles the adventures and accomplishments of Skip Yowell, one of the founders of Jansport. In 1967, Skip Yowell, his cousin Murray Pletz, and Murray’s wife Jan founded JanSport with nothing more than a sewing machine and a fierce determination to make the best and most dependable backpack on the market.
Says Larry Burke, Editor-in-Chief, Outside Magazine: “Skip’s account of the founding of JanSport wreaks of honesty, humor, and enough anecdotes to stir a memory in almost anyone who has spent time outside. His tale takes you from a small room above a transmission shop to a global enterprise and packs enough adventures to keep the fire stoked and the beer on ice for hours.”
Told directly by Skip without a ghost writer, you get a behind-the-scenes look at how Skip and his team built Jansport into a world class leader in the outdoor industry. While Skip may not be the most eloquent writer, his stories rope you in and keep you entertained. Plus the artwork and photos are amazing.
