Ross Fischer was born and raised in South Florida. An entrepreneur and marketing professional, he has spent more than thirty years building businesses from the ground up and training and managing people in sales and marketing.
How the idea found him
The idea that would ultimately become GRP grew out of one of the most difficult periods of his life. After one of his businesses failed, leaving him struggling with depression, Fischer began devoting more of his time and energy to mentoring and working with children—something he had already been doing for years. As he became more invested in helping them, he began to notice something unexpected:
The more he focused on making a difference in their lives, the better he felt.
That experience led to a much bigger question:
What if this wasn't simply personal—or even spiritual?
What if there was something universal behind it?
Nine years of looking
For the next nine years, Fischer immersed himself in research across psychology, medicine, sociology, business, history, and human behavior. Again and again, he found evidence pointing toward the same paradox: when we genuinely focus on the well-being of others, we often improve our own lives in the process. And when we consistently prioritize ourselves at the expense of others, we often pay a price ourselves.
The Plan for GRP
GRP The Golden Rule Paradox is the culmination of that nine-year journey. Fischer's goal is to bring the principles of GRP to people around the world—not simply as a philosophy for living a happier and more fulfilling life, but as an idea with the potential to change how we treat one another and, ultimately, help create a better world.
Fischer has been married to his wife, Jackie, for thirty-two years. They have two sons, Roman and Sean.
