Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Oliver Bogner discuss the following:
How did you start Brandable?
Where did the idea for Ready to Thrive and VeggieCraft Farms come from?
What does accessible health mean to you?
What do you think is the biggest road block for people when it comes to eating healthy?
What makes Ready to Thrive and VeggieCraft Farms different from competitors?
Twenty-six-year-old mastermind Oliver Bogner is the founder and CEO of Brandable, a next-generation consumer products company that is reinvigorating tired product categories and building brands that appeal to Millennials and Gen Zs. As an incubator of sorts, Brandable’s nimbleness allows it to innovate and have products on shelves in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional CPG companies. It is focused on creating the best products possible—and ones that buyers have expressed an urgent need for. Bogner’s “created for Millennials, by Millennials” approach is central to Brandable’s success, and why it’s becoming known as “the millennial P&G.”
In less than 18 months, Bogner has grown Brandable from a mere concept to a 90+person operation, with a vast portfolio featuring over 100 products across Toys, Food, and Wellness categories, as well as exclusive programs with the two largest retailers in America: Target and Walmart. The former TV hit series producer for TLC, Lifetime and Food Network has harnessed his keen understanding of entertainment and the power of celebrity influence to drive excitement and appeal for the company’s brands, many of which are influencer-inspired. Brandable’s agile product development approach has earned the company “vendor-of-record” status by coveted national retailers, including Petco, JoAnn, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, CVS, HSN, Michaels, and Claire’s.

Dr. Howard Murad the founder of the innovative skincare company Murad, Inc. and is largely recognized as The Father of Modern Wellness based on his years of expertise as a board-certified dermatologist and pharmacist whose holistic health approach recognizes the mind/body/skin connection in living a healthier, happier life – at any age joins eHealth Radio and the Dermatology & Stress Management Channels.
Dr. Murad’s mission is to teach people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and on his website.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Howard Murad discuss the following:
What is Cultural Stress and when did you first identify it?
Do you think things like our digital devices and cellphones are contributors?
Why do you think that people are so stressed out? Is it worse than ever?
You say that there are three ways to determine if a person is a victim of Cultural Stress? What are they?
Dr. Howard Murad is recognized as The Father of Modern Wellness® based on his years of expertise as a board-certified dermatologist and pharmacist whose holistic health approach recognizes the mind/body/skin connection in living a healthier, happier life – at any age. Dr. Murad’s ability to “connect the dots” linking cellular hydration, nutrition, joyful exercise, creative expression, reducing cultural stress, and efficacious skincare, are unique contributions to Modern Wellness.
A practitioner not just of medicine but of the philosophy of health, Dr. Murad has been studying the effects of the environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on skin and overall wellness since 1972. In 1989 – at the age of 50 – he founded Murad, Inc. and launched the first science-backed, doctor-branded skincare line. Understanding that healthy skin comes from the inside out, Dr. Murad was the first to also introduce “internal skincare” first through supplements and later expanding it to include mental and emotional wellbeing which became the beginning of the Inclusive Health® movement.
Having treated over 50,000 patients and counting, Dr. Murad hopes to inspire people to achieve not just beautiful skin – but greater health and happiness inside and out. Dr. Murad’s inclusive health protocol has been fundamental in reversing the effects of “Cultural Stress,” a condition he named and identified as the constant and pervasive form of stress due to modern day living which has been scientifically shown to have a negative impact on cellular health.
Dr. Murad’s impact on healthy living reaches far beyond his legendary skincare line. Today, much of Dr. Murad’s work involves teaching people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and online at www.drhowardmurad.com.
