47. Building Brands Through Authenticity | Eric Hinman

“I love being around like-minded people, sharing experiences and activities that have brought me tremendous joy,” explains Eric Hinman, five-time IRONMAN Athlete and Branding Consultant. After graduating college, Eric started his career in insurance. Recognizing that this experience gave him a solid financial foundation, Eric is now free to pursue his passions with authenticity.   A committed IRONMAN and Crossfit athlete, Eric began to explore athletic recovery through infrared saunas and ice baths. He began sharing wellness tips online during this process and created an active following. By being himself, Eric has spread his love of health to others and cultivated a community he is proud to be a part of. Life may have taken him down an unexpected path, but Eric has found fulfillment in inspiring others to prioritize their health.   The more authentic you are, the more things fall into place.
