When Bryan Papé founded MiiR, an Evergreen® company that makes and sells stainless steel drinkware, he had big ambitions. He aimed to create a company that would grow, be profitable, and make his community and the world a better place by giving back 3% of revenue. Over and over, people told him it couldn’t be done.

In the twelve years since, MiiR and Bryan have proven them all wrong. Through a commitment to innovation and generosity, MiiR has established partnerships with a wide array of companies to create innovative and popular products, and they have donated over $3 million to causes all over the planet.

In this Tugboat Institute® talk, Bryan shares his experience founding and building MiiR, and the strategies that have allowed him to achieve remarkable success.
