On the Monday before the Christmas holiday, USANA Health Sciences (which if you didn't know is a U.S. public company trading on the NYSE under the stock ticker USNA) announced its acquisition of an almost 79% controlling ownership stake in Hiya Health for a $205 million cash transaction…with contract features providing acquisition of the remaining equity at a pre-negotiated valuation scale. For the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Hiya Health generated net sales of $103 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million. That implies a transaction value of approximately 2.5x trailing twelve months revenue or almost 12x adjusted EBITDA…both of which are mostly in line with recent M&A transactions across the VMS industry. And though other founders love to obsess over those comparative metrics, regardless of where they landed, I'd imagine this is an amazing financial outcome for a company that was only founded four years ago…and raised in total a measly half-million dollars. But why would a multilevel marketing supplement company, that generates more than 80 percent of its annual revenue within the Asia Pacific region, acquire a direct-to-consumer (DTC) children's supplement brand focused on the U.S. market? And my latest first principles thinking content will explain the strategic rationale behind this M&A transaction including how the multilevel marketing business model appears to be falling flat for some companies after years of public scrutiny, regulatory pressures, and changing consumer tastes. Also, I'll examine several other value accretive investment opportunities that USANA has pursued to advance its long-term growth strategy. In December 2020, USANA made a strategic investment in the protein bar brand manufacturer Built Brands. Beyond receiving a minority equity stake (in a growing company), Built Brands' expertise was leveraged to accelerate the development, enhancement, and expansion USANA nutrition bars that were to be manufactured in its new foods plant. And then in November 2022, USANA acquired the protein bar brand Rise Bar. Additionally, in that same announcement…USANA acquired an emerging direct selling company (called Oola) that leverages a personal development framework to sell “mind and body” supplements. But for these companies dropping multilevel marketing…it's always important to remember that “grass isn't always greener on the other side.” But with the form of direct selling invented 80 years ago by Carl Rehnborg now becoming a tainted term of sorts today…I'd expect more of these MLM companies to add diversified layers of growth. Yet don't get it twisted…these moves are mostly targeted at slightly camouflaging the primary business model just long enough until multilevel marketing can be reframed (and transformed) into something more attractive to younger digitally native generations.

When I started in the health and wellness industry 25 years ago, things were very different.  Options and choice was limited and the access to information and resources was much harder to come by.   This episode is a celebration of the options and choices that we have.  I recently started with a company called USANA and I wanted this episode to be about celebrating the the options we have.  Celebrate the opportunities that we have to source high quality items.  We don't have to compete and compare.  We can build eachother up.  The industry is a multi trillion dollar industry.  Most people are looking for solutions to make them healthier, have more energy, and live life to the fullest.  It is a good thing that we have choice and this episode is all about celebrating the opportunities we have.   I hope you all celebrate and support eachother.  Build health & businesses - we are all stronger when we show up as the best versions of ourself.

Melanee Monson is a Senior Technical Recruiter at USANA, but unlike some people, myself included, she did something pretty remarkable during the pandemic. Instead of learning how to make a sourdough starter or sew a quilt, Melanee completed her training to become a certified life coach. If you're not exactly sure what a life coach is—Google it and you'll see it's “a wellness profession (that) helps people make progress in their lives…to attain greater fulfillment.” Melanee shares steps to clarify your goals and identify obstacles holding you back to help you overcome them. She talks strategies to create the outcomes you're looking for in life. This podcast is ideal for anyone suffering from blocked creativity, lack of fulfillment with social life, dissatisfaction at work, or if you're simply looking to break a bad habit to add a good one. It's not surprising that more successful creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs are teaming with life coaches to attain success in their professional and personal lives.

It's a big world out there—and if you're lucky, you'll get to see a fraction of it in your lifetime. Somer Mitchell is one of the luckiest. Since graduating college four years ago, she's been experiencing our incredible planet firsthand with only her backpack and eager curiosity. From the seas off Vietnam to the deserts of Jordan, classrooms in Japan, and all points in-between, she has fearlessly explored ancient ruins, UNESCO Heritage sites, and gained an appreciation for multiple cultures and a deeper understanding of herself. Through her Instagram, @somerrr, Somer documents her adventures and her appreciation for meeting new people, gratitude for new experiences, and desire to be an ambassador for good by recognizing our common values. Somer discusses how she overcame the obstacles—both proverbial and literal—of being a world traveler. And while every trip might be a “once-in-a-lifetime” adventure, she'll inspire you to spin the globe and pick a spot to go discover the world for yourself.

Beau Miles, the Backyard Adventurer, poly-jobist, Doctor of Philosophy, author, doer and self-described oddball, is an inspiration to those of us looking to discover adventure in our lives to turn our ordinary into extraordinary. Johnny Waite talks to him about the ways we can make our exercise fun without worrying about time or other unnecessary external factors. “Well everyone's got a body metric, right? With, ‘How much I weigh, how much I run, how fast I do it, how good I feel, how much sleep I've had, how much creatine powder I've put in my drink.' You know, it's all very measured. And I'm completely not that way. I've never been a Strava person or a measurement person. I just go on feel and whatnot. Which is still quite strategic. But it's just not as number driven, I suppose.” says Beau Miles. In this episode, you'll learn: - The love for going long on your journey and discovering the world - Enjoying the element of the unknown and fixing things along the way - How to find adventure close to home - The Backyard Adventurer philosophy - You're next adventure doesn't have to be extreme for you to test yourself and have fun Check out Beau's other activities Website - beaumiles.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/c/beaumiles Instagram - @beauisms   SPONSOR This episode is brought to you by USANA Health Sciences.
