Nuriche is committed to helping its Independent Business Owners (IBO’s), employees and communities everywhere achieve a fullness of life—something we like to call “whole living”. We believe that what matters most is taking care of others, and that whole living includes concern for others who struggle with poverty, disease, hunger, injustice and lack of education.
While we strive to lead through the efforts of our non-profit entity, My Firm Foundation, Nuriche IBOs are also leading out to make a difference in the lives of those in need. A wonderful example of this is Ruby IBO Tony Middlebrooks and his wife, Edie, who are changing lives with their own foundation, known as Arthur’s Call Foundation. It is named after Tony’s father, a self-sacrificing individual who Tony calls “the only true hero I have ever had.”
Formed in 2006, Arthur’s Call is focused on providing love, support and education for orphan and foster children in the U.S. and around the world. To date, Arthur’s Call has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been distributed through its charitable partner, Good Samaritan (www.goodsamaritan.ms), to feed, house and school orphans in places such as Albania, Honduras and Nicaragua.
When Tony joined Nuriche, he put his distributorship in the name of Arthur’s Call. He says that commissions paid to Arthur’s Call will be distributed to 8-10 projects that are a part of Good Samaritan’s work. “One of the major things that Nuriche offers to us is the ability to carry on this work on a daily basis and to create a residual income stream into our foundation that will allow us to sponsor more children, send more of them to school and to assist many others in meaningful ways.”
Tony and other IBOs pursuing their own initiatives have really caught the vision of what Nuriche can mean in the lives of others.
Join CEO David Parker as he reflects on the past few months and looks to the future on the “State of the Union” Conference Call. David highlights some of Nuriche’s recent successes and provides some insights into what he believes will fuel the next phase of our growth.

Nuriche is being built upon a belief in goodness and is pioneering an unprecedented network marketing model anchored in global philanthropy. The mission of Nuriche and its charitable entity, My Firm Foundation, is to help others lead healthier, happier lives through education, mentoring and enterprise.
The company, through My Firm Foundation, helped bring joy to an often forgotten segment of society this past Friday, September 10th, when it sponsored Utah’s 6th Annual Golden Games. The games are the culmination of a year-round program that encourages seniors who live in assisted care or retirement communities to remain physically active. This year, the Nuriche Golden Games attracted hundreds of participants who took part in “Olympic-Style” events, such as shot put, basketball, volleyball, and bowling. Three-time Olympian Tracy Evans who founded the event said, “This year’s games would not have been possible without the generous support of Nuriche and My Firm Foundation.“
The pay-off was seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter and shouts as team members worked together to win the various competitions. In addition, hundreds of participants and volunteers had the opportunity to sample LiVE and ReVIVE at a booth manned by Nuriche employees Bob Freeze and Melanee Raynes. Partnerships like this are only the beginning of the impact My Firm Foundation will have as Nuriche grows domestically and expands into global markets.
I agree with Henry Ford who once said, “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor kind of business indeed.” While being profitable is essential for any business to survive, I believe a company must stand for something and subscribe to ethical behavior to be truly successful.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of ice cream fame (Ben & Jerry’s) found that by making humanitarianism and philanthropy integral parts of their business ethic, they were able to combine profitability with social responsibility while building one of the largest ice cream empires in the world.
This is the model we subscribe to at Nuriche. We have made our non-profit partner, My Firm Foundation, our Master Distributor, and commit 2% of IBO compensation to charitable initiatives. Last week, for instance, My Firm Foundation sponsored “The Golden Games” in Salt Lake City to help seniors in care centers remain vital and active. As we grow and evolve, we envision our efforts taking on a global mission.
All of this wouldn’t mean much, however, if as company executives, we didn’t personally subscribe to ethical behavior. Ethical behavior results when our hearts, minds and actions are aligned with ethical principles. When a commitment to this kind of alignment exists, decisions don’t vary based on outside pressures or what is expedient in the moment merely to achieve more profits.
All the executives at Nuriche believe in upholding the very highest standards of ethical behavior and assert that “good ethics is good business.” After years in the business world, all of us have observed that good ethics serve a company better in the long-run in terms of customer loyalty, employee satisfaction and overall respect because ethical behavior appeals to people more than any product or service could on their own.
We also feel a sense of responsibility because if we don’t model ethical behavior, how can we hold IBOs or employees to ethical standards? We feel so strongly about this, that we have worked with IBOs to establish the “IBO Bill of Rights” which verbalizes the kind of ethical treatment an IBO can expect at Nuriche.
Ethics are important not only in business, but also in all aspects of life because it is an essential part of the foundation on which a civilized society is built. A business or society that lacks ethical principles is bound to fail sooner or later.
Nuriche is thrilled to announce the official launch of a new corporate website. The primary goal of our new online experience is to set a better foundation for global growth and communicate our mission of goodness more effectively.
The site features a clean and bold new look, but it’s much more than just a pretty corporate face. The real change with the site is in its approach, not the appearance.
Our message is threefold: provide you with an opportunity and the right tools for a better future, remind you that what you get from Nuriche is real–pure live whole food nutrition, and connect you with what’s most important in your life, while helping others do the same.
Among many improvements, visitors will enjoy more descriptive product pages, improved case studies with embedded videos, and a more intuitive navigation — all while keeping the most accessed pages front and center. Revamped from the ground up and designed for long-term success, we used behavioral data to guide our development decisions. This informed approach is helping us lay a better foundation for the imminent redesign of the IBO replicated sites. It fuels the continued improvement of the corporate site, the replicated sites, and the development of other exciting new tools.
Our ambition is to help you spread the message about Nuriche and feel even more confident about our global mission. We thank you for your trust. These decisions support our never-ending quest to bring you the most effective tools to connect with others, spread goodness, and build your Nuriche business.
DRAPER, UT – Nuriche, under the auspices of My Firm Foundation, is this year’s sponsor of the Golden Games, an “Olympic style” year round program that focuses on seniors who live in assisted care or retirement communities (see www.goldenolympiangames.com). The Golden Games are hosted by the non-profit organization known as People Helping People (PHP).
The culmination of the year-long program is a day of friendly competition designed specifically for participants, and this year’s event will be known as the “Nuriche Golden Games.” The event will be held on Friday, September 10th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy, Utah. The games, in their 6th year, are the brainchild of three-time Olympian Tracy Evans. The program enables these seniors to have a goal that motivates them to prepare for an event where they can show off their skills and be rewarded for their efforts. Other Olympic athletes join Tracy each year at the event to help out with the Opening and Medals Ceremonies as well as to act as judges, sign autographs, to serve as a guest speaker s or simply root these seniors on in each of their events!
My Firm Foundation’s Executive Director Mike Mansfield said, “Our goal is to partner with organizations like People Helping People to empower individuals to improve their own lives. We are excited to have People Helping People as one of our first partners and are grateful for the difference they are making in the lives of this often forgotten segment of society.”

As Nuriche continues to grow exponentially month after month, and as we anticipate the opening of international markets, the question has arisen from a number of IBOs, “Can you meet the demands of growth?” The unequivocal answer is a resounding “YES!”
During the last several months, Nuriche has taken several steps to ensure that we have the scalability to meet future growth:
Products: Nuriche has proactively expanded the rostrum of top suppliers from which we source our live, whole food ingredients. These suppliers provide only the highest quality fruits, vegetables, grasses and other ingredients from premium orchards, gardens and fields. These large suppliers are well equipped to meet the growing demand for the ingredients which are used to produce our proprietary products. Once Nuriche products are created, they are shipped within a month to ensure that consumers receive only the freshest, most nutritionally efficacious product possible.
Manufacturing Capability: A few weeks ago, we hired Gordon Fralick, who had served as a consultant for us for several months, to become VP of Operations. Gordon brings a rich background in leading the development of efficient manufacturing systems, overseeing regulatory and quality teams and in registering products throughout the world. He has already developed and instituted a new manufacturing production system that has significantly increased our manufacturing capacity and strongly positions us for future growth. We are confident that our manufacturing operations can meet the growing domestic and international demand for our products.
Executive Management: Anticipating rapid growth in the second half of the year, Nuriche has recruited and hired several top notch executives with different expertise to complement the existing management team who founded the company. Like the original executives, they subscribe to a vision of creating an opportunity that will change lives in a long-term, sustainable way. They also are committed to adhering to the highest ethical standards possible to guide our business model.
As we come off a very successful summer during which we experienced significant growth, we want to assure you that we are well positioned to meet the inevitable growth that will come as we work together with you in a true partnership. It is exciting to think about how our growth will expand our ability to change and bless lives. Thank you for all you are doing to make Nuriche the best opportunity available in the network marketing industry today.
