Welcome to Biz Hero, where strategy meets soul—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Meet Your Business Strategist.

Hi, I’m JPH — Founder of Biz Hero…

A woman in a bathtub filled with bubbles, surrounded by stacks of books, rubber ducks, and foam floating on the floor, with a wall of glass blocks behind her.

As a quiet kid, I spent most of my time observing the world, and what I now realize was the marketing in it. The headlines on billboards during family road trips. The corporate cereal boxes with wild fonts and way too much sugar at the grocery store. Even the quirky puns on fast-food ads that became t-shirts and wall calendars, further sharing their mission (and let’s be real, making them money).

I’ve always believed the right words can change everything; helping people feel seen, understood, and connected. But I also know that words can push people away, stir fear, or manipulate our emotional triggers, leading us to act from a place of disempowerment.

Because of that, I’ve had an obsession with fighting for the good-side and promoting honest communication that brings us together. Which I also believe can be done while discussing difficult topics, or calling people to action in some way.

That early obsession grew into a career helping purpose-driven brands find the words and strategies that work — and make sure they work ethically.

From fractional CMO and development strategy to brand messaging and content systems, I’ve helped purpose-driven brands in sectors like renewable energy, tech, mental health, and the arts generate over $150M in qualified leads and $25M+ in revenue—through strategy-backed storytelling that works.But what matters most? Helping bold, socially-conscious businesses tell their stories with clarity, power, and precision.

Because when your message clicks, everything else can too, revenue, reach, and the right kind of impact.

Are you ready to tell the story your mission deserves?

We partner with mission-driven people and organizations like…

  • Ethical tech startups ready to translate innovation into human connection

  • Sustainable brands that want to grow without greenwashing their values

  • Creative entrepreneurs and artists building real infrastructure—without losing their voice

  • Wellness and mental health professionals who communicate care with clarity

  • Nonprofits, cooperatives, and community organizations that need grant-ready storytelling and brand messaging built on trust

Need sharper messaging, stronger leads, or support to secure funding?
We provide strategic communications and marketing leadership—from brand positioning and lead generation to campaign strategy and grant writing—so your mission drives measurable growth.

Is this you?
