Episode 247: Sunny Bates | Founder, Author, Master Connector & Recruiter

Networks have been my basis and my bedrock in life and work. Generosity & acknowledgement feed networks. Then networks become communities.
— Sunny Bates

Sunny Bates is a prime example of building a business around your zone of genius. Sunny’s zone of genius revolves around collecting, connecting and cultivating extraordinary people and relationships. When an organization committed to success and new ideas that can change the world is in the process of building their teams, they call Sunny. She’s a founder, entrepreneur, advisor, and author, and we would love to take a peek at her rolodex. In this conversation, we talk about hiring strategies, how to build networks that are both powerful and satisfying to you, and how one of her secrets is listening for what people really want vs what they say they want.
