169 - How Impact And Purpose Drive Your Business with Michael Fishman

On this episode of the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast, I’m joined by Michael Fishman. Michael has spent the last 20 years as a leading advisor on marketing, positioning and sustained business growth to consumer health information and product businesses. He supported Rodale Inc. in growing the Prevention and Men's Health publishing brands, taking their book business from ground level to $300M per year, and consulted for brands such as Hint Water, Athletic Greens, Vital Choice, and Jigsaw Health along with admired personalities Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Daniel Amen and a long list of others. Michael leads the annual Consumer Health Summit, the private invitational gathering for founders, which he created in 1994. In his varied talks, he shares how marketing language, customer care, and work culture combine to take companies and personal brands from merely good to the beloved best at what they do. In this conversation, Michael and I discuss growing your business by being purposeful. He shares that the personal brands which see the greatest growth and following are the ones that back their mission with purpose and authenticity. We talk about consciousness and the role it plays on scaling and customer satisfaction. And how so many fail to realize that authenticity and realness produce results much greater than the “latest” marketing ideas. Michael shares that the most common roadblock for a founder scaling up is getting in the way of their own growth and not “letting go” of having a say so in every decision. He makes a clear distinction between being your brand and being a part of your brand, what he calls “humanizing your brand.” At a time when so many personal brands are focused on being a seven-figure company, Michael brings it back to ground level stating that focusing on impact and results for clients is the true ticket to a successful brand.
