Rare Breed®

Rare Breed is a seven part video interview series hosted by authors, leadership and brand experts Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger. 

In this Season 1 trailer, Charlamagne tha God, 2x best selling author, co-host of The Breakfast Club  star of Guy Code, Guy Court and Girl Code, joins Sunny and Ashleigh for a conversation about the vice Audacity. In this intimate portrait, he shares the story of growing up on a dirt road in South Carolina, how his audacity has been the keys to his success but not without a few black eyes to his career.

Get ready to dive in deep with Dodie (@doddleoddle), a 24 year old UK singer-songwriter, author, and YouTuber known for her emotionally complex lyrics. Her latest EP, Human, has amassed over 28.2 M streams on Spotify.

Authors Sunny Bonnell (@sunnybonnell) and Ashleigh Hansberger (@ashleigh_hansberger) interview Dodie on Rare Breed (@thisisrarebreed) to talk about the virtue “Obsessed”, one of seven unconventional traits explored in their new book Rare Breed: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different.

In this intimate, powerful interview, Dodie explains her struggles, pain, and obsessive tendencies, and how she’s learned to give it all meaning. She’s given obsession a higher purpose in order to create work that is absolutely brilliant and gut-wrenchingly honest.

Dodie uses her platform to spread positivity and inclusivity while tackling issues relating to sexuality, mental health (anxiety, depression, depersonalization, etc), relationships, and life.

You’ll learn how Dodie learned to:

✔️ Leverage obsession as a vice and turn it into a virtue

✔️ Create a community where people connect and share feelings

✔️ Navigate fast stardom

✔️ Work through mental health to find purpose and clarity

✔️ Why her obsession has a dark side

Maybe you too know what it’s like to have some demon-like obsession take hold of you. Maybe you too feel wired differently than everyone else, and wonder how not to be ashamed of that.

Whatever rises up in you when you hear the word “obsessed”, you owe it to yourself to watch this exclusive interview. After all, like Dodie’s tattoo says, “A bit of madness is key.”

Audacious Rare Breeds don’t really suffer from a lack of big, reckless, borderline ridiculous ideas. You know, because you’re like a piñata filled with wild, complicated dreams that no one else thinks can ever come true. You’ve gotten used to your close friends, siblings or parents grabbing you by the shoulders and shouting, “What the hell were you thinking?”

It’s the plan that keeps you up at night. Not making a plan, exactly, but the idea that you have to have one. Your career or your business will shape your future for decades. Why restrict it based on a plan that you won’t even stick to? Why not steer the ship based on your vision and what brings you satisfaction and joy? That’s a better way to get where you want to go, both in our view and that of Cortney and Robert Novogratz.

The Novogratz, as they’re known, are a husband and wife design and architecture powerhouse who seem to excel at everything, including parenting. They’ve been creating gorgeous spaces for living and playing for twenty-five years, including redesigning what seems like half of New York in their distinctive style that blends vintage and modern touches, reimagining entire city blocks; and renovating the Hollywood Hills castle where they live with their seven—yes, you read that right—children.

They have books, their own retail brand, shows on Bravo and HGTV, and a pretty audacious life. But how? How does this couple basically run the world while living a life that looks like the subject of a feature in Envy the Fuck Out of Us magazine?

We asked them and they told us why the audacity to burn the plan is the key to their success.

Sleep is an inconvenience. Work is all-consuming. Pressure is extreme when the voices in your head demand perfection. The process nearly kills you. But that’s what it takes to create something extraordinary.
