EPISODE 6: I COULD HAVE BEEN A CHEESE BARON

In this episode, Katie and Tad dive into a new dimension of wellness—occupational health—with ERC Counselors & Consultants owner & CEO Steve Baue. After successful careers in human resources and communications, which included ten moves domestically and internationally, Steve settled in Green Bay after buying his first company, ERC. This was followed by the founding of four more companies. In this conversation, Steve blends his professional expertise with his own powerful personal story of transformation and finding career happiness, with a few pit stops along the way (cow coaching, cheese barons, acting awards? oh my!).
