Author Information

Nick Mucha (he/him/his) is the Environmental Programs Manager at Patagonia. In this role, Nick leads Patagonia's efforts to build organisational capacity and effectiveness for Patagonia's nonprofit partners. His work is born out of a deep appreciation for the vitally important role that nonprofit organisations play in tackling our most vexing environmental, social, and economic issues. Nick has 15 years' experience leading conservation and community development programs throughout the world. His interest in this work was born while he and his wife served as Peace Corps volunteers in Honduras from 2004-2006. From that experience Nick founded his own organization supporting coastal communities that were grappling with booming surf tourism in southern Nicaragua. After running that organisation for 7 years, Nick served as Director of Programs for Save The Waves Coalition with a focus on protecting surf ecosystems worldwide. Nick holds a B.A.in political science from UC Santa Barbara. Outside of work, Nick is usually serving up dad jokes to his three kids or scheming to get in a quick surf, trail run, or weekend adventure off-grid. Patrick Thomas is a Minnesota-based marketing leader, editor, and consultant. Over 20 years of publishing work he's edited New York Times bestsellers, served as managing director of Milkweed Editions, ran the San Francisco Chronicle book review, and developed innovative branching narrative gaming scripts. He's been fortunate to work with numerous award-winning writers, scientists, adventurers, and poets, and believes in the powerful role stories have to play in saving the planet. Jessica Flint has worked as an editor at such publications as Vanity Fair, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Departures, and was a content strategist at Apple. She has written about mountain climbing in Africa for Outside, hiking with her father through Chilean Patagonia for Departures, and trends in sustainable travel for National Geographic, among other publications. She lives in Minnesota.
