Going Deep With Aaron Watson

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.   Never miss one of our best episodes by subscribing to the newsletter.   Ian’s Challenge; Say Yes.   Connect with Ian LinkedIn Twitter Website   If you liked this interview, check out previous interviews with Thread investor Zach Malone, fellow sustainable fashion entrepreneur Nisha Blackwell, and handbag entrepreneur Wendy
