In this episode of Successfully Ambiguous, I sit down with Erick Bauer, a fellow communicator, educator, and changemaker. Erick is the Head of External Relations at Meridian Credit Union, Founder of the Bauer Group, author, host of The Bottom Line with Erick Bauer podcast, and passionate about giving back to his community.
Erick shares his journey from policing to public relations, and how he’s used every twist and turn to build a career rooted in purpose. We talk about the power of personal branding, the importance of mentorship, and why building authentic connections—not just sending out resumes—is the key to career success.
We also dive into Erick’s upcoming book, his experience living with cystic fibrosis, and how that’s shaped his resilience and leadership. And yes, we talk podcasts too—his show The Bottom Line is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of storytelling.
This episode is a heartfelt, practical, and inspiring listen for anyone navigating a career path that doesn’t follow a straight line.
Join us for a conversation that’s as real as it is hopeful—and find out how Erick is helping shape the Canada we all want to build.
