In April of 2000, Gary Erickson turned down a $120 million offer to buy his thriving company. Today, instead of taking it easy for the rest of his life and enjoying a luxurious retirement, he's working harder than ever. Why would any sane person pass up the financial opportunity of a lifetime?

Raising the Bar tells the amazing story of Clif Bar's Gary Erickson and shows that some things are more important than money. Gary Erickson and coauthor Lois Lorentzen tell the unusual and inspiring story about following your passion, 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 consumers, and a company hailed by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. four years in a row. The book is filled with compelling personal stories from Erickson's life-trekking in the Himalayan mountains, riding his bicycle over roadless European mountain passes, climbing in the Sierra Nevada range--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.

If you are a manager, executive, business owner, or board member, Raising the Bar is your personal guide to corporate integrity. If you are a sports enthusiast, environmentalist, adventure lover, intrigued by a unique corporate culture, or just interested in a good story, Raising the Bar is for you.

Soft and super comfortable
Size: 4-5T, Color: 10 Pack - Covered Waist, Size: 4-5T, Color: 10 Pack - Covered Waist
As my youngest son is growing rapidly, I decided it was time to surprise him with a new set of toddler boys boxer briefs. I loved that this pack came with a set of 10, and it had 7 pairs Monday through Sunday and 3 solid colored ones. It's been so much fun to teach him the spelling of the days and to help recognize the letters. As well as letting him pick his favorite design or color. He is 4 1/2 years old and right in the middle of 4t and 5t clothes. This was true to it's size and fit him perfectly. I love that these are tagless, and the tag print is designed inside. These are super soft, stretchy, and comfortable. Perfect for a preschooler! He is comfortable in these, to play various of sports, wrestling with his big brothers and running around the playground. I love the soft waistband that doesn't put pressure on his waste and wicks moisture, as well as 100% cotton!! Don't forget to tumble dry low in the dryer, or in my case, I just let them air dry. They don't shrink after several washes and seem to last a while! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great job to Fruit of the Loom for designing these for my toddler!

Excellent quality
Size: Large, Color: 10 Pack - Breathable Micro Mesh
These boxer briefs are excellent quality and very comfortable for my son. The fabric is soft and breathable, and they don’t irritate his skin. They’ve held up well after many washes without stretching out or fading. The waistband stays in place, and the fit is true to size. Great value for the price — I’ll definitely be repurchasing
