Mat Franken and his wife thought they had parenting all figured out. Having their first child was a breeze. Their second, however, had multiple health issues. Faced with an uncertain diagnosis about the causes of their son’s ailments and unclear direction about how to help, a doctor suggested the Frankens look at chemicals used around their home. Their research revealed two alarming statistics: the air inside a home is up to 500% more polluted than the air outside simply because of products used to keep it clean. And more than half of children have some form of chronic illness, many of which are autoimmune driven. Those individuals may be especially vulnerable to chemical sensitivities. “At that point, I couldn’t unlearn what I had discovered. I had to do something.” Franken set off to find or create products that addressed the very issues faced by his own family. “We were already buyers of natural products but that wasn’t enough.” Trouble was, Franken isn’t a chemist and doesn’t have the typical background one might expect of a founder of a cleaning company. But he did have something – a superpower, really – that many people lack: humility. “I know that there was a lot I didn’t know.” He built a network of subject matter experts, friends, and experienced leaders to guide him on a circuitous journey. His work resulted in the creation of Aunt Fannie’s, a national brand of people and pet friendly cleaners, soaps, and pest solutions. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin &amp; Simon Daw, Mat shares how a personal quest turned into a business, the power of humility, and keys to engaging others to join the cause. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin &amp; Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan. Breakthroughs happen on the ragged edge when things aren't quite going as expected. What I Wish I Knew podcast hosts Mike Irwin and Simon Daw explore lessons learned by leading athletes, creators, entrepreneurs, leaders, and difference makers. They all have three things in common: none are perfect, all are humble, and they've learned a few things along the way. In What I Wish I Knew, they share their lessons with you.

It Shouldn’t Take Sickness to Get Well with Mat Franken, Founder of Aunt Fannie’s

When you think of health and wellness you may not think of cleaning products. Mat Franken, founder of Aunt Fannie's (offering plant-based ingredients, probiotics, and essential oils for healthier housekeeping) has a mission to bring wellness to our homes. Mat and his team have succeeded in changing the perception of cleaning products as part of wellness by helping consumers surround themselves with what’s best for them, and doing so with a give-first mentality. It’s been said that we spend 95% of our lives inside. With a global pandemic, that’s more true than ever. Why not make the very best of it? Mat joins Lahari Neelapareddy to share how education has played an important part in the journey of Aunt Fannie's and how the company was born out of personal adversity in Mat’s own family and the lack of information to solve it; facing the choice to compromise on values for profit; why being shameless has helped with fundraising; how helping people instead of taking advantage of an opportunity has paid off; the importance of a community of first time entrepreneurs; and the inspiring story of how the company got its name.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
