Corey Blake

Corey Blake is the CEO and managing partner of MWI, an international digital marketing agency with offices in the US and Asia. He is a husband, father to 4, and passionate entrepreneur that finds his greatest joy in building up and supporting those around him. Corey is fascinated by people, who they are at their core and what it is that motivates them and gives them hope daily in their lives. Growing up in a military family and living all over the world sparked this fascination for people, cultures, and their motivations, which led him to study International Culture Studies with emphasis in Communications and Anthropology in college. He also has his own consulting agency, Corey Blake Consulting (clever name, right?), where he works with companies in building out their marketing and sales strategies for growth.

Oh yeah, and he loves podcasting.

How Did We Get Here?

Josh and Corey have known each other since 1999 and been business partners since 2013. Since the beginning, their main objective was to create business strategies that would “make the world a better place”. Cheesy, right? Cheesy for sure, but sincere nonetheless. As they’ve traversed the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, business partnership, husbandry, fatherhood, friendship, faith, etc., this one main objective has always been at the forefront of their minds and actions.

Josh and Corey circa 2005 – We’ve come a loooong way:)

During one of their deep dive strategy conversations (they sometimes last hours and go by in what seems like minutes), they started discussing the role that hope plays in their own lives, their businesses, and the lives and businesses of those they work with. As soon as the conversation started, they quickly realized that their shared belief in hope was at the core of their desire to make the world a better place. Exploring the process of living with hope ensued, and this podcast came as a natural consequence to that exploration. We love talking with people that believe in hope like we do, and we want to hear their life strategies for living and excelling with hope.

In a world that sometimes seems like hope is hard to find, we believe there is always hope if you seek it out and allow it to dwell within you, your families, your communities, your businesses, and everything else as well.
