Weaving the Future: Anne Bauer on Creativity, Energy, and Generational Leadership

Introductory Summary Paragraph
What does it take to honor five generations of history while giving yourself permission to lead differently? In this episode of Building Unbreakable Brands, Meghan Lynch sits down with Anne Bauer, a sixth-generation family business leader, coach, and energy healer, to explore how legacy businesses can evolve without losing their soul. From her company’s beginnings as a covered wagon supplier to its global role in the airline industry, Anne shares how creativity, intuition, and energetic awareness shape her approach to leadership—and how family businesses can reframe legacy as a living tapestry rather than a rigid pattern.
