Over his 25-year career to date, Ira has spent most of his time in sales roles, from active contributor to department director. One thing that remained constant was that Ira always worked hard to help SMBs (small and medium businesses) increase their ROI and gain market share by providing analytic marketing analysis and strategic marketing advice. Since June 2020, with the launch of Ira’s business, Bowman Digital Media, Ira has focused on helping increase website traffic and increase visibility for his clients online. The internet has become the main source of commerce and visibility, more than any other marketing channel and therefore it is extremely important to increase sales.

Photographer
Ira Bowman started shooting photos for clients back in 2010 as part of his work with print clients.
In 2020, with the launch of Bowman Digital Media, Ira began shooting a lot more photos and upgrading his gear to accommodate a larger variety of shot types. Ira is sought out and hired to take headshots, product shots and lifestyle and special events for his clients.
The thing Ira loves most about photography is showing the world what he sees and the beauty all around us. Ira’s signature style mixes light and angles in unexpected and fun ways and he loves to shoot at night with slow shutter speeds to show motion.
Ira is a fan of Canon camera and lenses and Neewer lights. He currently shoots with EOS 90D and 5D Mark IV bodies and processes all of his own shots with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
Recently Ira has had two of his photos featured in a Forbes Magazine article and was hired to do a Magazine Cover shoot. See some of Ira’s work here.

As new technologies expand and converge, we witness industry, connectivity, and innovation advance at accelerating rates.

Add to that, the scale of global tension environmentally, economically, and politically—never mind the residual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—are upending the world as we know it. No matter how worthy the product or service you offer, strategic growth is essential to keep pace with change and extend your reach. To help you do that, Strategic Growth for Leaders, Volume 2 in the For Leaders series, is here.
With chapters of insight from 10 successful leaders and a bonus chapter demystifying our relationship with AI, Strategic Growth For Leaders is an important tool for navigating this new era. The contents explore methods of approaching change through deeper self-awareness; more finely-tuned business practices; building solid, authentic relationships with employees and clientele; and knowing when enough is enough. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their strategies for growth.
The For Leaders Series Book 2 - Strategic Growth for Leaders
Humans have emotions and at different points, we all struggle with them.
As I sat on my couch one night in May of 2023, I realized that my new exercise routine, walking daily, was helping me in an unexpected way. The walking was helping me clear my head, process my anxiety and help me reduce day-to-day stress. Never before had I considered walking as a way to reduce stress and relieve anxiety.
So the idea to put my technique out in a book to share with others who might benefit from the idea was born.
Shortly after, I realized my solution might not be the silver bullet for everyone, so I invited some of my friends to share tips and techniques that work for them. This book is full of those ideas for others to read and try.
This book is not intended to be a one-size fits all solution. The book is written in a non-clinical way on purpose. The goal is simple, we want to share everyday solutions to everyday mental challenges.
You might not need all the tips and techniques in this book. Even more, it’s likely that these tips won’t work for everyone and that’s okay. It is not intended to be an exhaustive medical journal, rather a handy reference guide to those seeking for something they can do to make a positive impact in their personal life.
Our lives are too short to suffer through anxiety, depression, and mental health issues, without the proper help and support we need. If you find a new tool that helps you in this book, we will have accomplished our goal.
Business growth doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with a vision, the development of a great plan, getting the team (both internal and external) on board, and then executing the plan, allowing for flexibility to bend as needed, when circumstances and momentum shift.
Explosive Business Growth Strategies: GANE Ontario is a compilation of 12 amazing entrepreneurs who share valuable insights across a breadth of topics, to help business professionals, business owners, and other entrepreneurs cut through the stagnation they might find themselves in. The goal of the book is simple yet profound, to help those seeking business growth, to achieve it quickly.
The book authors have a wide variety of professional experience that is shared to help any new or seasoned business professional break out of their slow or slumping sales growth. Topics covered in the book include marketing, sales, branding, communication, finances, health, goal setting, legacy, mindset, and more.
Another interesting difference between this book and most, is the authors have been selected to speak on stage at a live event, in Ontario, CA on Friday, November 3rd for GANE Ontario. Those in attendance will get a chance to meet all the speakers live throughout the day and even get their copy of the book autographed.
GANE stands for Growth Accelerator Networking Event and aspires to educate and inspire the audience of the live event and those who read the book, so they can experience more explosive business growth faster than if they were simply left to their own devices without the insight shared from the stage and the pages in the book.
GANE Ontario was created and hosted by Ira Bowman and Joel Phillips. Stay tuned for more GANE events around the USA in 2024 and beyond as there are many more stories to share, to the benefit of all who take the time to read the future editions.
