Behind Every Good Driver // Mel and Colin Braun

As the ‘Energetic CEO’ of her family, Mel Braun offers a behind-the-scenes look at life alongside her husband, world-class sports car driver Colin Braun, and the often unseen energetic, emotional, and mental support that plays a powerful role in sustained success.

When people watch a race, they see the driver, the helmet, the fire suit, and the sleek, sexy livery of the race car. They see the spray of champagne in victory lane or the heartbreak at the finish line. What they don’t see is everything that has to quietly hold steady in the background so that those moments can all exist.

That invisible steadiness is where I live. That’s why I’m the Energetic CEO of my family, a title I didn’t claim overnight. It took nearly two decades to earn.

My eighteen years in real estate, paired with more than a decade of education in energy, mindfulness, and somatic work, have given me a deep understanding of how mindset and emotional regulation shape outcomes. Nowhere is that more evident than in my family, especially in the life and career of my husband, Colin Braun, a world-class, highly decorated sports car driver.

But I didn’t go searching for this life. This life found me.
