概要

 In this episode of Connecting with Purpose, Mark Griffin sits down with Miren Oca, founder of Ocaquatics Swim School and founder of Ripples of Impact — a nonprofit expanding access to life-saving swim education in Miami-Dade County. Since 1994, Miren has grown Ocaquatics into a multi-location swim school built on culture, ownership, and purpose. In 2024, she made a bold move: transitioning 100% of the company to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), protecting its mission while creating long-term wealth-building opportunities for her team. But this conversation goes deeper than ownership structure. Miren shares three defining leadership chapters — Different, Survival, and Evolve — and how each shaped her approach to growth, culture, and impact. We also explore Ripples of Impact, which provides swim scholarships that remove financial barriers so children in underserved communities can learn to swim, build confidence, and stay safer around water. In Miami-Dade, where drowning remains a leading cause of accidental death for children, access to swim education is life-saving. In this conversation, we discuss: • Why Miren chose an Employee Ownership Trust over private equity • How to protect purpose during succession • The difference between traditional ROI and Ripples of Impact • What it takes to build a true ownership culture • Why every leadership decision is a "pebble" that creates long-term ripples This episode is for founders and growth-stage leaders who want to scale responsibly — proving that profit and impact are not opposing forces, but aligned drivers of long-term success.
