Philip Barrar: Philip Barrar, CEO and co-founder of Mylo, Montreal region.
[Philip is interviewed in Mylo's Montreal offices, a vast, open-concept space with large windows.]
Philip Barrar: I definitely have my dad to thank for my entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up, he used to do patent commercialization for NASA and always embraced innovation and entrepreneurship in the household. So, when I saw the opportunity to build something with Mylo, I saw an opportunity to build something special.
[Philip walks through the office, pausing to speak with various colleagues.]
Philip Barrar: Not only are we building a profitable and sustainable company, but we're also making a positive impact on the world. So, we only received an investment from Desjardins Capital recently. So, we're at the beginning of our relationship, but it's already been fantastic.
[An employee navigates the application on a cell phone.]
Philip Barrar: We've been working with Roland and the management team. We've been receiving mentorship and guidance on how to build the company. We have lots of learning, so they can help us build a solid foundation and become one of the financial leaders in this space.
[Philip speaks to his team during a meeting. An employee examines graphics displayed on four monitors.]
Philip Barrar: There are many things that motivate me every day, but I'm very proud to say that our product's already making a difference. Just yesterday, a fourth-grade teacher actually used Mylo as an example in their class to help teach the rounding up idea.

Philip Barrar: It's great to see that Mylo is already making an impact, and our users are actually telling us for the first time in their lives, they're actually saving money and feel like it's finally possible to be able to achieve their financial goals.
[Philip and a woman stand and talk with two men seated in front of their computers.]
Philip Barrar: Being a successful entrepreneur is all about perseverance. When it comes to finding the right investor, it's hard work, and it's really rewarding when you find the right one, like we did with Desjardins Capital.
[In his office, Philip draws a graphic on a glass wall.]
Philip Barrar: The best advice I can give a young entrepreneur is never give up. Never give up. Continue to work towards achieving your dreams.
