Matty Mattheson didn\u2019t eat in a restaurant until he was a teenager. It\u2019s an upbringing he\u2019s grateful for: a \u201cbeige and unremarkable\u201d diet punctuated by fresh seafood from Canada\u2019s east coast.

As an actor-chef-father-husband-author-producer-clothing maker, his career is a master class in staying true to yourself\u2014something he believes is key to longevity. Stop chasing likes, and stay present.<\/p>

Sea-farmed salmon is a food that\u2019s toxic for our bodies and our planet. Their rallying cry? Stop eating it. When you\u2019re grocery shopping, scan the label for its origins. When you\u2019re out to eat, ask the restaurant where they source their fish. <\/p>

Because, as Ron says: if you can\u2019t feed yourself, you can\u2019t free yourself.

After 50 years in business, Chouinard champions purposeful growth over endless expansion. Patagonia is now steward-owned, and the earth is their only shareholder. They've donated over $100 million in excess profit to environmental causes.<\/p>
