I’m Mike Bush, Co-Founder of GrowthWays Partners

Over 20 years ago, I found my footing in natural products — an industry defined by mission-driven founders and high-stakes growth decisions. That experience became the foundation for what I now bring to growth-stage companies across categories.

After selling a successful ingredient company, I wanted to expand my impact and support more individuals and organizations. That vision led me to launch GrowthWays, where I focus on helping businesses thrive and achieve sustainable success.

In addition to advisory services, I’ve captured my insights in a book called GuardRailing®: Authentically Guide Your Natural Products Company from Spark to Sale. It has been a joy to share what I’ve discovered to be a "secret sauce" for success, and I now offer Guardrailing workshops to bring these principles to life.
