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.

WORK places the poor into jobs in landfill communities.
The 2010 earthquake in Haiti had a lasting effect on Ian Rosenberger. During his volunteer trip to the devastated Caribbean nation, he kept a journal of his experiences there. One of his journal entries stated simply, “if Haiti could turn trash into money equals good.” This idea planted the seed for what would become Thread International. Five years and many iterations later, Ian and his small team learned how to make fabric out of recycled plastic and they landed their first global collaboration partner, Timberland. In 2019, Thread International’s material licensing brand became First Mile, aptly named for its focus on the sourcing of materials in the “first mile” of the supply chain.Although Thread International made a significant worldwide impact during its first few years in business, Ian wanted to do even more. In 2018, he launched Day Owl, a consumer backpack and accessories company that uses First Mile sourced recycled plastic materials in its products. Thread International is a Certified B Corporation, which means that it has pledged to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental accountability and performance, while balancing profit and purpose. In this episode, Ian shares what it was like to grow up in a family of entrepreneurs, how we can use business to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, and what he learned about life from his participation on the reality TV show, Survivor.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.

Listen to Ian Rosenberger, founder & CEO of First Mile and Day Owl, share his thoughts about solving the plastics crisis in our lifetime, the role of waste and recycling and more. #NothingWastedPodcast
Two years ago, Ian Rosenberger and his company took a leap forward by launching a backpack. It was made from Thread International’s first product, fabric made from plastic waste that had been recycled. The backpack raised $571,000 on Kickstarter and represented an important new chapter for the business. At the beginning of 2020, they launched two specific brands; Day Owl (for consumers) and First Mile (for brands like Reebok, Puma, and Converse to buy the fabric). In this conversation, Ian and Aaron discuss the strategy behind the rebrand, managing a retail company through the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, and how Day Owl re-tooled their facility to make Personal Protective Equipment for healthcare workers. Pittsburgh’s best conference to Expand your Mind & Fill your Heart happens once a year. Ian Rosenberger’s Challenge; Identify the Day Owls in your world and figure out how you can support them.

Ian Rosenberger was born and raised in Pittsburg. His life and career took him all over the world experiencing new things all the time and meeting the most amazing people. One of those places he began to visit frequently was Haiti. As a result of the trip he made right after the 2010 earthquake which claimed the lives of over 250,000 people, he started Thread and Team Tassy (which is now known simply as Work). Ian is a truly exceptional leader running these organizations that are changing the world in so many tangible ways. They are damn-givers through and through. Toward the end of our conversation, you’ll hear me state that this podcast would release on September 18. Obviously, it’s not September 18. We bumped this podcast up a few weeks because we wanted to give you more time to check out the Kickstarter they have going on for their new backpack made from 100% recycled canvas. The canvas was made entirely from discarded plastic bottles. I got my hands on one of these backpacks and let me tell you, it’s fantastic. Super functional. Looks great. It’s wonderful. AND we are going to be giving away one of the backpacks they are currently kickstarting! So, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram because we are going to launch the giveaway later this week. BUT only one of you will win this bag so I’d recommend you back this project on Kickstarter to ensure you get one or two or three or ten at a discounted rate.

Eight years ago, 100,000s of people died in the Haitian earthquake. Many people donated money, but Ian Rosenberger was compelled to do more. Ian co-founded Thread International, which has shipped nearly 200,000 lbs of recycled plastic out of Haiti to be processed into fabric. This has also created jobs for Haitian families and represents a forward thinking solution to issues of poverty.. Currently, the Thread Team is busy running a kickstarter campaign for a line of backpacks and other workweek essentials made with this important social mission. We discuss traveling to Haiti, the doubts and stress that comes along with running a company, and the value of professional persistence.

Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Ian Rosenberger, Founder and CEO of Thread International, he founded Team Tassy & Thread in 2010 in the wake of the Haiti Earthquake. Team Tassy unlocks the inherent power in every person to end global poverty. Thread takes trash from poor neighborhoods and turns it into jobs. They work together under the same core philosophy: the biggest problem we face as a species is multidimensional poverty; ending it is entirely possible within our lifetime, and to do it we need to invest in the poor to create as many dignified, sustainable jobs as possible.
In episode 62, Kestrel welcomes guests Ian Rosenberger, the founder and CEO of Thread, and Zachary Angelini, the Environmental Stewardship Manager at Timberland. Ian and Zack share some of the stories behind the Thread x Timberland collaboration, which is made of Thread’s Ground to Good™ fabric, harvested from plastic bottles littering the streets and landfills of Haiti. Kestrel also asks Zack to share his mindset on Timberland's approach to sustainability, especially considering the company's high-reaching goals for 2020, including wanting to have 100% organic, US-origin or better cotton, as well as 100% recycled, organic or renewable materials in their shoes. Finally, Kestrel asks Ian to share his insight on the microfilament issue, which now tends to arise in any conversation connected to recycled plastic fabrics. Ian's response brings light to other ways of potentially looking at this issue, from a more holistic approach.

It has maintained its basic competitive premise in which sixteen to twenty contestants, the castaways, are split into tribes and assigned separate camps at the filming's location, typically a tropical setting. As a tribe, the castaways must survive the elements, construct shelter, build fire, look for water, and scrounge for food and other necessities for the entire filming period, around 39 days. In the first half of the game, the tribes face off in challenges, some for rewards of food, shelter, or luxury items, while others are for immunity, preventing the winning tribe from having to go to the next Tribal Council. Tribes that do go to Tribal Council discuss the events of the last few days with the host asking questions, and then must vote out one of their own players, eliminating them from the game.In the second half of the game, the tribes are merged into a single tribe. Challenges are played at an individual level for individual rewards and immunity. At subsequent Tribal Councils, those eliminated start to form the jury, who sit in on all subsequent Tribal Councils but otherwise do not participate. When only two or three castaways remain, those castaways attend a final Tribal Council, where the jury is given the opportunity to ask them questions. After this, the jury members then vote to decide which of the remaining castaways should be declared Sole Survivor.by the local region, and directions to their camps.At their camps, tribes are given minimal resources, such as a machete, water canteens, cooking pots, and staples of rice and grains, and are expected to build shelter against the elements from the local trees and other resources. including fruits, wild animals, and fish.During both pre- and post-merge segments of filming, the castaways compete in a series of challenges. Tribes are alerted to these upcoming challenges by a message, often in rhyme, delivered to camp by the production team at a basket or box on a nearby tree; this message has come to be called "treemail", playing off the word "e-mail". The message typically hints at what the challenge might be. The message may also provide props to demonstrate this, practice equipment for the players, or a sampling of the reward. There are Tribal challenges and individual challenges, played for rewards, immunity or both.Top past prizes have been:• In Survivor: The Australian Outback, Colby Donaldson won a Pontiac Aztek.• In Survivor: Africa, Lex van den Berghe won a Chevrolet Avalanche.• In Survivor: Marquesas, Sean Rector won a Saturn VUE.• In Survivor: Thailand, Ted Rogers won a Chevrolet TrailBlazer.• In Survivor: The Amazon, Matthew von Ertfelda won a Saturn Ion.• In Survivor: Pearl Islands, Burton Roberts won a GMC Envoy XUV.• In Survivor: All-Stars, Rob Mariano won a Chevrolet Colorado.• In addition to the car, Rob was allowed to bring another contestant with him on a trip; he chose Amber Brkich, who received a Chevrolet Malibu as a result.• In Survivor: Vanuatu, Eliza Orlins won a Pontiac G6.• In Survivor: Palau, Ian Rosenberger won a Chevrolet Corvette.• In Survivor: Guatemala, Cindy Hall won a 2006 Pontiac Torrent; she was given the option to relinquish her reward to give the other remaining players, but declined.• In Survivor: Panama, Terry Deitz won a GMC Yukon.• In Survivor: Fiji, Yau-Man Chan won a 2008 Ford Super Duty but gave it to fellow contestant Andria "Dreamz" Herd as part of a strategic deal.
