In this episode, we have plenty to talk about. Our guest today is Ian Rosenberger. Ian is the founder of Work, First Mile and Day Owl. Each business has their own unique way of bettering communities, and sustainability is at each’s core, which we plan to go well into within the episode. His biggest focus right is getting Ian’s consumer product off the ground, Day Owl. Day Owl is a consumer backpack created from landfill and ocean plastic, the material collected through First Mile, Ian’s other business. A truly circular backpack of exceptional quality. It turns out they actually originally developed the proprietary recycled canvas material for Timberland boots!

Ian Rosenberger is the founder of WORK, First Mile and Day Owl. WORK places the poor into jobs in landfill communities. First Mile has redirected over 100 million plastic bottles from landfills and the ocean and transformed them into consumer goods for global brands trying to find value in authenticity, transparency and responsibility. Day Owl is a direct-to-consumer brand that has created a backpack out of First Mile materials the team hopes will help everybody feel ready to take on the world.
