About Mark Miller:

Mark is dedicated to helping health-conscious individuals to ensure that they have clean, healthy water in all situations: for drinking water, cooking and cleaning, and especially during emergencies.

And not only enough for your own benefit, but also to be able to help others when there is an emergency even if there is no electricity.

Mark is the owner of Safer Cleaner Water, and he is on a mission to help raise awareness around the importance of safe, clean water in all homes, given that water is our most vital, life-giving and necessary resource.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Mark Miller discuss:

• Importance of having access to clean, safe water during emergencies
• Limitations of relying on bottled water or grocery stores during power outages
• Affordable, long-lasting water filtration system that works without electricity
• Ecological benefits of reducing plastic bottle waste
• Nonprofit “water pool” to provide water systems to those in need

Key Takeaways:

• Natural disasters and power outages can disrupt access to clean water, leaving people vulnerable, and Mark’s water filtration system provides a reliable solution to ensure safe drinking water in any emergency.
• Mark’s three-in-one system not only saves users money compared to constantly buying bottled water, but it also reduces plastic waste, making it an environmentally-friendly choice for the long-term.
• Integrating Mark’s water system into high-ticket health programs can create unique opportunities for entrepreneurs to differentiate their offerings.
• Jennie’s idea to donate her affiliate commissions to Mark’s nonprofit “water pool” demonstrates how businesses can collaborate to make a positive impact on communities in need of clean water access.
• In the realm of identifying and solving problems, Mark recognized an overlooked issue – the lack of preparedness for water emergencies – and developed an innovative solution. 

“If only two people use it for drinking water, instead of having to buy bottled water, that would save them 300% more than what they paid for the system in one year.” — Mark Miller
