Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–October 10, 2025)–Chris Bilyk, founder and CEO of State of Gratitude, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss building a purpose-driven lifestyle brand rooted in recovery, intention, and community. The episode reviewed how a personal low point and a small stimulus check evolved into a national presence—retail pop-ups at Bryant Park, Union Square, and Chelsea Market—featuring intention-wrapped bracelets handmade by women in recovery and apparel designed to make gratitude a daily practice.
Bilyk outlined how documenting change, leading with service, and maintaining simple operating principles shaped growth beyond merchandise into retreats and community programs. He reflected on practical leadership habits—clear messaging, consistent follow-through, and collaborative partnerships—that supported stable expansion without losing mission focus.
