Optimizing Value and Mindfulness in Natural Products: Michael Bush Joins KISC My Health Radio
This episode of KISC My Health Radio brings you an extraordinary conversation at the intersection of business strategy, natural health products, and mindful leadership.
Hosted by Captain Cran Man Stephen Lukawski and Peter Mingils, this segment features special guest Michael Bush, a seasoned executive and wellness innovator who is rewriting the playbook on how companies build enterprise value while staying true to a deeper purpose.
Welcome to KISC My Health Radio
“Welcome back to KISC My Health Radio on the Building Fortunes Radio Network. I’m your host, Captain Cran Man Stephen Lukawski, alongside Peter Mingils. Today, we are thrilled to bring you a guest who bridges the gap between massive corporate success and profound personal growth—Michael Bush.”
Michael Bush is the co-founder of GrowthWays Partners, where he provides strategic advisory services to entrepreneurs, founders, investors, and management teams. He is deeply passionate about optimizing the enterprise value of companies in the natural products industry, ensuring that the value they build provides benefits that reach far beyond just the financial bottom line.
A Legacy of Innovation in Natural Products and Health
During the broadcast, Stephen, Peter, and Michael discussed what it takes to scale a health-focused brand globally. With a career spanning over 25 years, Michael has led venture-backed businesses across the natural products, healthcare, and bioinformatics industries.
Listeners might recognize his landmark work as the former President and CEO of probiotic innovator Ganeden. Under his leadership, Michael expanded the market of the company’s patented ingredient into over 65 countries and across more than 1,000 SKUs. This incredible growth trajectory culminated in a highly successful 2017 merger with Kerry, Inc.
Throughout his distinguished career, Michael has:
- Raised hundreds of millions in growth capital to fund health and wellness innovations.
- Participated in dozens of M&A transactions, including successful business exits worth nearly half a billion dollars.
- Served as a leading voice in the space, frequently speaking at major industry events like BevNet, Natural Products Expo, and SupplySide.
Michael brings this wealth of knowledge to his current roles as an investor, board member for several for-profit and non-profit organizations, and holder of degrees in both Biomedical Technology and Business Administration.
Integrating Mindfulness into Business and Life
Beyond the boardrooms and massive financial exits, what makes Michael’s approach so refreshing—and a perfect fit for KISC My Health Radio—is his dedication to holistic well-being.
Living in San Francisco as a devoted husband and father of three daughters, Michael balances his professional drive by playing the guitar and traveling. Crucially, he is also a certified meditation instructor. He is deeply dedicated to a path of personal growth and focuses heavily on helping others find practical ways to integrate mindfulness directly into their daily lives and business practices.
On this episode, Michael shares his unique perspective on how mindfulness can prevent executive burnout, improve corporate decision-making, and help natural product founders stay connected to their original mission of improving global health.
