ep. 190 Lessons I've Learned in 29 Years as CEO of a Network Marketing Company! with Steve Wallach

Steve Wallach has over 30 years of experience in direct sales, and 25 years leading a Network Marketing Company, Steve has nurtured the company into an international powerhouse within the Direct Selling Association (DSA) industry. Spearheading and popularizing a new acquisition model, Steve created an innovative paradigm in direct sales: the ability to merge products, sales force and cultures instead of just absorbing and rebranding them. These efforts helped the company earn distinction as one of the Top 100 Direct Selling companies, and Steve was asked to serve on the Board of Directors for the DSA. Widely regarded as one of the leading formulators in the industry, Steve has been personally responsible for the development of over 1,000 products, with sales in excess of $1.5 Billion in health related consumer goods. As a hands-on CEO, he's secured multiple patents and trademarks for his innovations, petitioned the FDA on behalf of the general public, and is equally at home leading an organization of Independent Distributors as he is formulating products. He's taken the company from a start-up to ringing the opening bell at NASDAQ. His visionary ability has led the company to pivot as needed with both challenges and opportunities. An accomplished author, lecturer, and speaker, Steve is proud of expanding the definition of health and wellness – and seeing people benefit from these efforts. Steve, his wife Michelle, and their three sons continue the family legacy of exploring the world and all its natural beauty, learning from their experiences and using that knowledge for the benefit of others.
