Sustainability + Swim: Building a Company with Bri Millstein

Building your own business can sometimes feel like a life long course in self development and learning the ropes - but it can be worth iiiit! Today I talked with Bri Millstein, owner of Brisea Swim, a company that uses sustainable materials in their swimwear by using fabric sourced from recycled ocean plastic in an effort to transform plastic waste into a valuable resource. Bri talks about creating pieces that are sustainable in material as well as the design, the importance of leaning into your strengths, and advice to other entrepreneurs. We also talked about launching fast and adjusting on the fly as well as when to stick with something vs pivot if things are taking longer than expected. Let Bri and I know which Brisea Swim piece you’re eyeing up.
