I • vrist Your Daily Dose of: Brand Strategy. Writing. Ideation. Art and Cool Things. i • vrist is a pronunciation. The once unreachable that has been reached.

The against-the-grain pronunciation of Sir George Everest's last name, for whom the tallest mountain in the world was named. It is about uniquely striving for greatness in all things: great, and small. The impossible that is possible.
