Clubhousing!
Michael Habicht has become the go-to guy for pet-related discussions on the new social media app, Clubhouse. He hosts upwards of 20 “rooms” every week on the app. The topics range from welcoming puppies to the home, to pet loss and grief, pet nutrition, and more. In episode 20, Michael and Isabel discuss the great conversations being had on Clubhouse, conversations to benefit both pet industry professionals and pet parents. Isabel considers Clubhouse an undiscovered gem and Michael is confident that pet lovers will be leaving platforms like Facebook to take advantage of Clubhouse’s forum-style set-up. Many refer to Clubhouse as a live podcast or show and Michael is making his mark by becoming the leader in pet education on the platform.
When asked why people are hesitant to jump on to yet another social media platform and app, Michael explains that it's like learning to swim - people are taking a dip, wading, and he's sure they will soon be swimming and taking advantage of all that Clubhouse has to offer. Meanwhile, he is focused on sharing the love, be it through his pet-friendly chats on the app or by bringing new possibilities to the pet industry through his holistic supplement line, Healthy Paws Herbal Labs, which he co-founded.
BIO:
Michael Habicht III didn’t begin his career designing and producing events, but rather as a teenage stunt car driver who was regularly cast as an extra on popular television shows. His “hands” got a big break when they portrayed the hands of MacGyver tying off bombs on the hit TV show, and soon after, he was selected as a model to walk the fashion runway in Italy.
However, it was his 15 minutes co-starring alongside Andy Warhol on the Love Boat that affirmed the course of his event and design career. His time with the legendary pop artist inspired him to trust his own artistic inventiveness and to further hone and market his many talents in the world of event design production.
Today he is known as “The Michael” by an adoring global clientele and renowned for his design innovation, flowing imagination, and attention to every detail. For two decades, the CEO and Founder of iii designs has built his own creative lifestyle factory and clients call on him for their most important occasions and fêtes.
Michael entered the pet industry through his line of pet herbal supplements, Healthy Paws Herbal Labs, which he co-founded with Dr. Kyle Burton. Michael is now hooked on pet care and making his mark in what he considers a truly beautiful industry.
