96: How To Succeed Wildly By Being Defiant, "Weird" and Different, with Sunny Bonnell

"There are parts of ourselves that we made invisible, and Rare Breed is really about owning who you are in order to succeed. It's not just the pretty parts, but it's all of who you are. Bring all of your humanness to the table and make your vices your virtues." - Sunny Bonnell Along with her partner, Ashleigh Hansberger, today's Finding Brave guest Sunny Bonnell has literally written the book on identifying a new approach for the mavericks, oddballs and visionaries of the future. She shares how you can stop trying to conform, and instead use what you've been told is working against you to actually start working for you as you become the person you are dreaming to be. Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger are authors of the new book RARE BREED: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different and the award-winning founders of Motto, one of the top branding and digital agencies for rule-breakers and game-changers. Between the two of them, they are members of the Young Entrepreneur Council, and have graced lists such as GDUSA's Top 25 People to Watch and Inc. 30 Under 30, and America's Coolest Young Entrepreneurs. In this episode Sunny reveals their "7 Rare Breed Traits" that you can celebrate to start to own who you really are, because the future of business belongs to the disrupters, and the ones who don't play by the rules but change them.
