54: Ed Howie

In today's episode, I am joined by Ed Howie. We explore his experience with alcohol addiction and how a sober life has led to more fulfillment and joy.  Ed Howie is one of the most experienced business branding strategists in the world. For over 30 years he has helped create, develop, and launch brand concepts for many companies, leading to more than $300 million in revenue. Ed is a serial entrepreneur who has founded multiple seven-figure businesses, including his flagship business, BTYcreative. In addition to serving others through BTYcreative, in 2020 Ed and his team launched their branding-building web series, Howie Grow A Brand,” on YouTube and all major podcast platforms. His first book, The Wonder of WOOO will be released in Spring 2023. Ed lives a life grounded in joy and infused with fun.  He has a passionate curiosity and love for humankind. He lives life to the fullest every day. It has not always been that way. Early in his career, Ed experienced several personal challenges, that resulted in a complete re-evaluation of his own life, his values, his definition of success, and his relationship with alcohol. In one moment, Ed’s life changed forever, and his journey to live a life that is happy, joyous, and free became his mission. Empathy, humility, and kindness became a more consequential part of his life and led to his overarching passion to inspire others. His intention is to Inspire 1 Million Joys through the Wonder of WOOO. Everyone wants and needs WOOO.
