#0070 – Rare Breed Leadership with Sunny Bonnell

Author: Jon S. Rennie May 23, 2021 Duration: 45:08
Today my guest is Sunny Bonnell. Sunny is the co-author of a book called Rare Breed: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different which has been called "a brazen rant" by Seth Godin. This is an unconventional business book that explores seven so-called "vices" that society deems as counterintuitive to your success and reframes them as virtues. 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.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
