Big-Hearted Entrepreneur

Own Your Worth and Amplify a Mission That Matters

Suzi Hunn

You can run a business without sacrificing your soul.

In a world that tells us we must be callous to get ahead in business, big-hearted entrepreneurs are finding new ways to challenge the status quo. Too often, our thinking is guided by old rules of success: work should feel hard, business is extractive, it’s mission or money, soft skills are not valuable. But these old rules are meant to be broken.

In Big-Hearted Entrepreneur, education designer and consultant Suzi Hunn charts out a new path for mission-driven leaders—one in which self-worth, uniqueness, and community well-being take center stage. Through reflection questions, journal prompts, and action items, you will explore:

Simple steps for identifying and strengthening your unique mission
How to invest your time, energy, and talent with love
The mindset you need to embrace your power
Why cultivating warm connections beats “putting yourself out there”
Practical tactics to amplify your mission through meaningful dialogue

Featuring stories from Hunn’s experiences as an employee at a large cultural institution and as a big-hearted changemaker, along with words of wisdom from other entrepreneurs making a difference in the world, Big-Hearted Entrepreneur is a practical guide and an essential read for anyone who wants to do good and live well.
