What Does it Mean to Be a MacGyver?

The term “MacGyver” originated from the popular TV show that began in 1985. This definition, provided by the Oxford English Dictionary, reflects our core philosophy:

Mac·Gy·ver – /məˈɡīvər/ – verb
To make or repair (an object) in an inventive way, using whatever resources are at hand.
“He MacGyvered a makeshift jack with a log.”

At MacGyver Industries, we apply this principle to create innovative, sustainable solutions for personal and professional development. Learning how to improvise and adapt to situations can take time, and we are happy to brainstorm, collaborate, and provide guidance to help others improve their processes.
