Long Bio
249 wordsEric Chow is the Chief Operating Officer of Mashman Consulting Group (MCG), a private consulting firm specializing in personal branding, reputation architecture, and executive visibility, headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas. Isaac Mashman, who founded the firm, is its visionary and its face. Eric works behind the scenes, and in the room for the firm’s executive appearances. Isaac brought him in to help grow the firm from a technical and nuanced standpoint: where Isaac is the entrepreneur, quick to act, Eric is the intrapreneur, academic in his approach, logic-led, slower and more calculated.
The two met in August 2019, when Eric, a new podcaster, answered Isaac’s call for a podcast tour and interviewed him on episode 5 of The Eric Chow Empowers Podcast. Eric went on to serve Mashman Ventures as an advisor and board member, and from 2021 as its Chief Consultant, overseeing client relationships and heading its consultant division.
Eric is credited with helping Isaac found Identity Positioning™, the methodology behind MCG’s client work: their conversations over the years shaped the philosophy itself. He edited the Second Edition of Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence (Mashman Publishing, 2025) with Michelle Fongeallaz and wrote its foreword.
From 2019 to 2023 he hosted The Eric Chow Empowers Podcast: interviews with people who had overcome difficult life challenges, and monologues on decisions, confidence, and self-image, with listeners in 96 countries. He writes Chow’s Choice, on operations, leadership, and the books worth reading. He is based in Union City, California.

“Our personal brand is the recognition our name gets, what we’re associated with, and the reputation it carries in terms of character and credibility.”
Foreword, the Manifesto“Do you know what you need to know? Or can you definitely acquire what you need to know to make that decision?”
The Eric Chow Empowers Podcast, Episode 66“It’s a lot harder to push a piece of string forward than to pull it with you. Instead of pushing people, I had to elevate myself, so I could pull.”
Medium, 2022“Caring about other people is an absolute strength in life and in business.”
Medium, 2021“The first step to change your life is to change your self-image.”
