Dean Mercado, Founder and CEO of Online Marketing Muscle® and #1 Best Selling Author of “The MindStretch: 49 Inspiring Insights For Business Breakthroughs” is a well-respected small business coach, author, and speaker with expertise on helping small business owners around the globe, raise their game and level up their business!

With a professional career spanning across 4 decades, he has served in a multitude of roles — mostly revolving around three of his passions, marketing, technology and leadership. He lives, loves, and breathes this stuff so it seemed a natural fit to help lead the charge into the Digital Marketing era back in the early 2000s.

“The world of small business continues to evolve at a rapid pace,” says Dean. “With more and more global influence and the empowerment that new technologies bring, it’s game on! Small businesses can now easily compete with the big boys.”

Dean’s direct and candid communication style has appeared in several reputable publications over the years including Inc. Magazine, Investor’s Business Daily and Crain’s Business News.

When not doing his thing for small businesses, Dean enjoys life on Long Island, New York with his lovely wife Andrea and two beautiful children. And oh… let’s not forget about Clyde, their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
