MEMBER OF THE MONTH CORNER

Anne Sawasky - Paul Winkler

By - Holly Elmore and

Cheryl Gilstrap

KY Brand Builders


The first thing you’ll notice about Anne Sawasky’s business card is the phrase, “relax about money”. As an investor coach/business advisor for Paul Winkler, this is what sets her apart from other financial advisors in our area. Anne educates her clients by acting as a guide and then an adviser–like a good teacher, she will warn you of pitfalls, re-educate you on your understanding and show you how to apply it to the real world. With Paul Winkler offices all over Tennessee, she was drawn to Sam Ford’s Bowling Green “North-of-Nashville” description of South Central Kentucky which led her to become a member of the WKU Smart Space. Because Paul Winker bases its financial advising on proven scientific evidence, Anne feels that a university connection is ideal for a Paul Winkler office. She is excited to realize the potential she sees in this area and is ready to help us “relax about money”, but in order to do that, we must understand the common investing myths that have the potential to destroy your investing peace of mind, and then we can use academic investing principles to build the most effective modern portfolio.

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS SHINE AT THE

CHILDREN'S ENTREPRENEUR MARKET

Thanks to everyone who came out to support our young entrepreneurs! Our latest event celebrating the next generation of business leaders was a tremendous success, drawing over 45 young participants who set up shop to showcase their products and ideas. From hand-crafted items and baked goods to innovative services, these budding entrepreneurs brought their best, creating a vibrant market buzzing with creativity and enthusiasm.


The turnout was fantastic, and it was truly inspiring to see the younger generation learning the ins and outs of running and operating their own businesses. Visitors were treated not only to unique products but also to a glimpse into the future of entrepreneurship, where determination and imagination thrive in our community.


Parents, mentors, and community members alike expressed admiration for the young business owners, many of whom displayed professionalism, resourcefulness, and dedication. Events like these remind us all of the importance of nurturing young talent, providing them with practical skills, and building their confidence to follow their passions.
