<p>Today my guest is <strong>Sunny Bonnell. </strong>Sunny is the co-author of a book called <strong>Rare Breed:</strong> <strong>A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and</strong> <strong>Different </strong>which has been called "a brazen rant" by Seth Godin.

This is a new kind of leadership thinking which challenges conformity and dismantles business-as-usual thinking. I’m excited to have Sunny on the show to talk about this interesting topic.</p> <p><a href="https://wearemotto.com/">Motto Branding Agency</a></p> <p><a href="https://rarebreedleaders.com/quiz/">Rare Breed Quiz</a></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3faLMKo">Rare Breed: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different book</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Purchase my new book now <a href="https://jonsrennie.com/books/"><strong>All in the Same Boat - Lead Your Organization Like a Nuclear Submariner</strong></a></p> <p>Visit our sponsor <a href="https://bottomguncoffee.com/">Bottom Gun Coffee Company</a> use the discount code "DEEP"</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p>Purchase my bestselling leadership book <a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">"I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a> use the discount code "DEEP"</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>Today I’m joined by <strong>Marie Cosgrove</strong>. Twelve years ago, she was a single mother of four children when she was fired from her company because she “made too much” in commissions. Instead of becoming bitter, vengeful, or angry, she started her own company. Two years later, she acquired the company that fired her and built it into an internationally-recognized brand. She has a remarkable story which she shares in a new book called <strong>Greater Fortune</strong> which is available for preorder. I am excited to have her on the show to talk about her journey. We all face challenges in our personal and business life and I know you will be inspired by Marie’s story.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://mariecosgrove.com/">Marie Cosgrove Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_q97kRZj8zso8RAB9ioRug?view_as=subscriber">Marie Cosgrove YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/39WUIRb">Greater Fortune: Essential Lessons from the Entrepreneur Who Bought the Company That Fired Her</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Learn about my new book <a href="https://jonsrennie.com/books/"><strong>All in the Same Boat - Lead Your Organization Like a Nuclear Submariner</strong></a></p> <p>Visit our sponsor <a href="https://bottomguncoffee.com/">Bottom Gun Coffee Company</a> use the discount code "DEEP"</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>The best ideas come from outside your industry. Well, today’s episode is a perfect example of that. My guests are <strong>Jerold (Jerry) Zimmerman &amp; Daniel Forrester. </strong>They looked way outside their industry for inspiration. They studied the business practices of criminal enterprises. The wanted to learn how the American Mafia, the Sinaloa Cartel, Hells Angels, as well as the Crips and the Bloods could be so successful for so many years. Their research led to a book called <strong>Relentless: The Forensics of Mobsters' Business Practices. Jerry &amp; Daniel</strong> combine seventy-five years of Nobel Prize-winning economics research - with insights from criminal prosecutors - to examine how criminal syndicates continue to survive and thrive for decades - &nbsp;despite billions of dollars of law enforcement opposition. They have analyzed the leadership principles of criminal organizations and uncovered enduring lessons that every organization needs to adopt. &nbsp;This is a very interesting show.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2Ysr9QZ">Relentless: The Forensics of Mobsters' Business Practices book</a></p> <p><a href="https://jeroldzimmerman.com/">Jerold Zimmerman Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/JeroldZimmerma3">Jerold Zimmerman Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.danielforrester.com/">Daniel Forrester Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/DPForrester">Daniel Forrester Twitter</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Visit our sponsor <a href="https://bottomguncoffee.com/">Bottom Gun Coffee Company</a> use the discount code "DEEP"</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>Today I’m talking with <strong>Zachary Small. </strong>He is a Navy veteran turned entrepreneur and like my last guest, <a href="https://anchor.fm/deepleadership/episodes/0053--Building-a-Thriving-Online-Community-with-Jason-Helmes-ep4dm5">Jason Helmes</a>, he has built a powerful online community. But, he has also built a tribe that gets together in real life as well. It’s called the <strong>Fraternity of Excellence</strong> of which I am a member. It’s a group of men dedicated to becoming better fathers, better husbands, and better men. <strong>Zac</strong> helps men take control of their lives and become the leader they were meant to be in their marriages, their families, and their communities. He focuses on masculinity, marriage, and fatherhood and ways men can become their absolute best. He has helped hundreds of men turn their lives around and become better versions of themselves. Today we talked about leadership in the family and how he built such a thriving and successful tribe of men in the <strong>Fraternity of Excellence.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://fraternityofexcellence.com/">The Fraternity of Excellence&nbsp;</a></p> <p><a href="https://thefamilyalpha.com/">The Family Alpha</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/ZacSmall_">Zac Small on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/thefamilyalpha">The Family Alpha Podcast</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>Today, we have a very special guest<strong>, Jason Helmes. </strong>He is a Fitness Coach, but more importantly, he is my fitness coach. Like many of us, Jason lost control of his fitness and health when he left college and entered the work world. But he fought back, got in the best shape of his life, and learned a lot in the process. He learned the fitness world is filled with click-bait, charlatans, and never-ending fads. So, after years of research as well as trial and error, he decided to develop his own simple method for health and fitness that anyone can follow. He calls his company, <strong>Anyman Fitness</strong>, and he has since helped thousands of clients get in the best shape of their lives. He’s a <strong>fitness entrepreneur</strong> who has built a thriving online fitness community. Jason talks about the importance of physical fitness for business leaders and how he built such a successful online community.</p> <p><a href="http://anymanfitness.com/">Anyman Fitness website</a></p> <p><a href="//jason@anymanfitness.com">Email Jason Helmes</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnymanFitness">Jason Helmes on Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/anymanfitness">Jason Helmes on Twitter</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>A coach &amp; a Navy officer walk into a bar... Just kidding, they used to be a coach and an officer, now they're entrepreneurs and they walk into a podcast studio, not a bar. But they do pour a glass of bourbon, sit down, turn on their mics and talk about what it takes to win at the highest level. Whether that's in a stadium, a nuclear sub, the business world, or anywhere else for that matter. What does it take? It takes the X-Factor. Everyone wants it, few possess it and even fewer recognize it when they see it. These two guys will show you what it is and what it takes.

<p>You’ve heard me say that leadership is a people business. That applies to every aspect of your organization. This includes hiring, onboarding, talent development, performance feedback, and succession planning. Many leaders, however, don’t take ownership and they try and outsource their leadership responsibility to HR. My guest today is <strong>Jennifer Thornton. </strong>Jennifer<strong> </strong>is a leadership coach and founder of <strong>304 Coaching</strong>. She spent more than 20 years as an HR professional and in operations before starting her consulting business. Jennifer helps leaders and companies who are facing breakthrough growth and accelerated hiring patterns. &nbsp;Today we talk about the importance of leadership in hiring, developing, and growing the people in our business.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://304coaching.com/">304 Coaching Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/304coachingllc/">304 Coaching Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferrthornton/">Jennifer Thornton on LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@reddiamondsfeatures/addiction-to-the-high-of-being-right-is-a-high-risk-response-to-failure-59f28491a31b">Addiction to Being Right Article</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>You’ve heard me say that the purpose of this podcast is to build a world with better bosses. What if I told you that one of the biggest problems with poor leadership is actually fear? My guest today is <strong>Jacqueline Wales. </strong>Jacqueline is a self-described “Champion for Fearlessness.” She is a leadership coach and author. Her latest book, <strong>The Fearless Factor @ Work</strong>, helps leaders break through barriers to reach their full potential. She has observed that many of the worst leadership behaviors are simply born out of fear and insecurity. If you think about a bad boss you know, you can probably see where fear is involved. This is a really powerful discussion that will make you think more about how fear affects leadership.</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinewales/">Jacqueline Wales on LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a href="https://thefearlessfactoratwork.com/">The Fearless Factor @ Work</a></p> <p><a href="https://thefearlessfactoratwork.com/online-program-coaching/">The Fearless Change Program - Six-Week Online Program</a></p> <p>_____</p> <p>Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources:</p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.com/i-have-the-watch/">Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following"</a></p> <p><a href="https://jonsrennie.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e727d1f343ede2524356b7bb2&amp;id=bb9f0f5496">Subscribe to my leadership newsletter</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jonsrennie">Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jonsrennie/">Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0CHQaTgAi857myPJ7mjBw?view_as=subscriber">Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube</a></p>

<p>You’ve heard me say this before. If you want to be a great leader, you need to get out of your bubble and go to where your people are.

He’s also co-founder of <strong>Sailors &amp; Sticks</strong>, a nationwide group of more than 1,300 sailors and former sailors who enjoy good cigars and great conversation. He co-hosts the popular <strong>Sailors &amp; Sticks podcast</strong> which is one of my absolute favorites.
