"Consumer is the key priority."
After decades of building successful businesses and mentoring future professionals, Dr. Michael V. Maranan is adding another milestone to his career with the release of four books that reflect his lifelong commitment to entrepreneurship, education, and personal growth.
A respected entrepreneur, licensed customs broker, educator, and speaker, Maranan has built a reputation not only in the logistics and supply chain industry but also as a mentor who believes that practical knowledge creates lasting impact. Through his latest publications, he hopes to share the lessons he has learned from years of experience in business and leadership.
Serving as President and CEO of Windfreight Express Total Logistics, Inc. and 88 Sunfreight Express Corporation, Maranan has spent years navigating the worlds of customs brokerage, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. His work in the classroom and on the lecture circuit has likewise allowed him to guide students and professionals pursuing careers in business.
The centerpiece of the collection is From Eight to Infinity: Secret Stories and Lessons from the Life of Dr. Mike Maranan, a memoir that chronicles his personal and professional journey. More than recounting milestones, the book highlights the values, setbacks, and defining moments that helped shape his character, offering readers an inspiring account of resilience, faith, discipline, and perseverance.
For those in the logistics industry, Confessions of a Licensed Customs Broker provides an insider’s perspective on the profession. Drawing from decades of experience, the book goes beyond textbook concepts by discussing the realities, challenges, and responsibilities faced by customs brokers and logistics practitioners in today’s global trade environment.
Meanwhile, aspiring entrepreneurs can turn to The Business That Fits You, which encourages readers to look beyond business trends and instead identify opportunities that match their personalities, strengths, resources, and long-term goals. The book presents practical strategies for building ventures that are both sustainable and personally fulfilling.
Completing the collection is Ang Negosyong Swak Sa’yo, a Filipino-language guide designed to make entrepreneurial education more accessible to local readers. Written in a relatable and easy-to-understand style, the book helps aspiring business owners choose ventures that suit their capabilities instead of simply chasing what’s popular or profitable.
The official book launch celebrates not only the publication of four new titles but also Dr. Maranan’s continuing mission to educate, empower, and inspire. By combining real-world business experience with practical advice, he hopes his books will serve as valuable resources for entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and anyone seeking meaningful personal and professional growth.
With every page, Dr. Michael V. Maranan reinforces a belief that has guided his career—that success is built not only through knowledge, but through purpose, perseverance, and the willingness to share lessons that can help others reach their own potential.
