On today’s episode we are joined by Mike Bieker, the former CEO/Founder of Marketlab Inc. and current CEO of LumeCube. In 1994, having identified a need for a device to assist in the blood collection process, Mike launched Phlebotic, Inc. He grew the company to become a manufacturer of hundreds of unique specialty products for phlebotomy. Having identified yet another unmet need, Mike transformed his manufacturing company into a direct-mail catalog business, specializing in unique and hard-to-find products for healthcare professionals. In 1997 it grew handsomely year after year and landed on Inc. Magazine's list of the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States. In 2011 and nearing $50 million in revenue, Mike sold a majority of the company and remains a minority shareholder and director, today. He has gone onto become the CEO of Evolve Skateboards USA and LumeCube.   In this episode, you’ll hear Mike talk about the power of listening to the needs of others, facing the recession head on, and why conquering fear is your ticket to success.   Highlights:  “At an early age, I was a worker” Starting a business as a teen Getting the “idea” that sells! Creating the product that an industry desperately needs The creation of Phlebotic, Inc. Honoring balance in your life, work, family, fitness and health “I was making more money than I thought a person could make” Deals falling through during the recession of 2008-2009 Holding onto the business and pivoting in the recession to retain profitability Becoming a pilot and feeling God’s Glory in flight The launching of Evolve Skateboards USA and LumeCube Mike’s #1 piece of Advice – Overcome your fear Accepting Jesus into his life and gaining peace    Key Takeaway: When we serve others, whether in business or in faith, success follows. It is those who are brave enough to serve in new and unique ways that are the most rewarded.
