Chip Wilson is an entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the founder of the yoga-inspired clothing company lululemon athletica, Chip is a globally recognized innovator in the field of technical apparel and widely credited with starting the “athleisure” retail category, now a $100-billion-a year global business.

Today, Chip is actively involved in Hold It All, a multifaceted organization with businesses falling under five categories: apparel, real estate, philanthropy, active private equity and passive investments. All share the principles of design, ingenuity, people development and making functional beautiful.

Chip’s function-over-fashion approach lead him to start his first retail apparel company, Westbeach, in 1979. Westbeach evolved from a skate/surf company to become Westbeach Snowboarding Ltd. and grew to a globally recognized brand in the snowboarding community.

A year after selling Westbeach, Chip settled in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood where he identified another athletic shift—the growing popularity of yoga. In 1998, Chip founded lululemon athletica and brought to market the best stretchy black pants that the world has ever seen.

At lululemon, Chip became known for his people-before-product leadership approach. He surrounded himself with like-minded individuals; creative, driven, athletic locals with a love for work-life balance inspired by the West Coast. This cohesive culture fueled the innovation and growth of the brand.

Over the last decade, legacy documentarian Sharad Kharé has been engaging with some of the world’s most interesting individuals in dialogue in regards to their digital legacy, personal legacy and living legacy. His training as a live dialogue moderator and interviewer has allowed him to capture people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Arianna Huffington, Susan Sarandon, Tim Draper, Steve Jurvetson, Jack & Suzy Welch, Chip Wilson and many more on his lens. Sharad has been known to travel anywhere in the world that the story takes him, always in pursuit of new and exciting legacy projects to create. His signature interview style is to have a one-on-one dialogue that covers the person’s life journey from beginning to present, comfortably bringing out candid and interesting stories through conversation and unscripted interaction.

Sharad’s research in his communications master’s degree had a deep look at how legacy affects people in their period of greatness, strife, despair, and victory. Sharad’s thesis focused on the relationship between personal legacy and digital legacy. The former involves the persona that one’s friends and family may know about them, while the latter refers to the persona created in the digital realm of social media and art. As Sharad began working in the world of journalism and media, he has maintained his interest in where the two aspects of legacy intersect – a living legacy.
