On today’s episode, Marie Davis sits down with Miren Oca, Founder and Director of Ocaquatics Swim School, a nationally recognized, employee-owned business that teaches over 6,500 swim lessons a week.
In this episode, you’ll hear Miren’s incredible journey from aspiring orthopedic surgeon to mission-driven entrepreneur, the cultural groundwork her team laid long before becoming employee-owned, and the ripple effects of that transition — including her nonprofit, Ripples of Impact.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a business where people love to work and ownership is shared, this conversation will show you that you can do this too.
