business that inspires

I’ve said it dozens of times before. Stick around and you’ll hear me say it dozens of times again. Leftbank leads me to visionary people, innovative businesses, and inspiring stories. One of the early introductions was to Tim O’Brien and his company, Tropical Salvage. I’ve sung their praises here and here, and samples of their work winding through Leftbank’s common spaces and the Hive shine with beauty and purpose.

Lisa Peifer contacted me several months ago when she was working on a short documentary about TS, titled “Tropical Salvage: From Recession to Expansion.”  The film was finished and recently placed 3rd in the 2011 oikos International Case Study Competition for the social entrepreneurship track.  You can watch it here.

Tropical Salvage is offering deep discounts right now to make space for a new shipment arriving at the end of the month. If you haven’t visited their warehouse, this would be a great time for a first visit.
