I have known Mike Bauer for over 30 years. I consider Mike a friend and a colleague. More importantly, I have hired Mike to help me with two turnarounds by focusing on the market segmentation, marketing execution and business development. In both cases, Mike did an extraordinary job in supporting revenue growth by finding and then exploiting unique marketing opportunities. Beyond Mike’s marketing and business development prowess, Mike operates at the highest level of integrity of anyone that I’ve known. I believe that Mike’s current passion in advocating for conscious capitalism is just an extension of the values that Mike has lived by for as long as I’ve known him. Based on my experience, I strongly believe that Mike would make a significant difference in helping companies that are committed to pursuing the tenants of conscious capitalism grow and prosper for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Mike joined as the first business development manager at Ranch Systems when we were still just a startup, and over 3 years was instrumental in putting us on the map and closing deals in new regions and markets. This involved navigating both large cultural differences and difficult business problems. He has a unique ability to connect with people of many different backgrounds and his empathy driven approach is very effective in building the trust that leads to long-lasting partnerships.

I met Mike a few years ago in a business setting and was reintroduced about a year and half ago by a friend who told me that he was using Mike as a coach. From the first day we met to talk about what I thought I needed and what he had to offer things began to change for me. Mike has a unique background of business development and personal transformation. The readings and authors he introduced me to have and continue to truly change my life. Mike also has an uncanny ability to cut through extraneous issues and focus on what really matters and still do it in a conscious and holistic way. I have a long way to go on this journey, but having Mike as a beacon has been one of the most profound meaningful experiences in my life.
