Isaac Mashman

Isaac Mashman is a businessman, author, coffee addict, creator, podcast host, private investor, and speaker. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, to a lower-income, single-parent household, Mashman spent his first 18 years seeing what problems can come with a lack of money and, more importantly, a lack of healthy beliefs in self and the world. A stellar student consistently at the top of his class, he was bound for college and was close to receiving a full-ride scholarship. During his senior year, however, Mashman discovered the idea of entrepreneurship. Enamored by the ability to dictate how much money you made, the freedom to travel and work from anywhere, and the other benefits that came with it, in a last-minute decision, he decided not to go the traditional route and jumped headfirst into business.

Mashman got his start in the network marketing industry, joining three different companies four times before realizing that he wanted more control over his day-to-day operations and executive decisions. Although he never made much money from his time in the industry, he attributes much of what he learned and his current way of thinking to it. Following his departure, some time spent traveling, and nearly a dozen attempts at businesses ranging from agencies to record labels, in 2020, Mashman launched his now-dissolved public relations firm Mashman Ventures, which delved into personal brand-related work.

In 2024, Mashman founded Mashman Consulting Group (MCG). Taking the best approaches, expertise, and strategies from his PR firm, this evolution follows a similar path in which they work with public figures who want to be followed, in demand, and respected to optimize and scale their personal brands. There is also an emphasis on individual reputation management. As of today, he has had the opportunity to work with countless authors, actresses, business owners, executives, coaches, inventors, models, and musicians across multiple continents. This business is his vehicle for future endeavors and is headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Understanding that obscurity is often the enemy of success, Mashman wanted to ensure that people could find out more about him and connect with who he is as a person and as a leader. He has hosted and co-hosted several podcasts, most notably "Chase the Vision with Isaac Mashman," which centered around business and education. It ended in the summer of 2022, surpassing 100 episodes. Mashman is launching a new podcast in 2024 with a slight pivot, expecting to merge the niches of business, celebrities, and entertainment.

On November 1st, 2021, Mashman self-published his first book, "Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence," which became the #1 new release in Public Relations on Amazon and a top 10 PR best-seller. When asked to summarize the book’s intention, Mashman wanted his readers to understand what their personal brand is and why they should be consciously building it. Mashman wrote it to raise awareness and expand their thinking on the subject. A second edition is expected in the Fall of 2024.

In January 2022, Mashman launched two new companies, Mashman Investments and Mashman Properties, within one week of each other. Mashman Investments engages in acquisitions, equity ownership, and other financial contracts, allowing his real estate-related transactions to fall underneath Mashman Properties. These are the first three businesses under the MASHMAN umbrella, with many more to come in the future.

Mashman’s driving “purpose” is to live up to his potential in all areas of life: personally and professionally, in relation to outer relationships and self-talk, financially and spiritually, emotionally and mentally, and so on and so forth. This can be seen in his interactions with the people he connects with face-to-face, the audience he’s built online, and the decisions he makes every day.

Through his speaking engagements, Mashman hopes to share his experiences and knowledge of life with the ambitious people in the audience.
