Ann Bennett is our guest today joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. I am the founder of RenegadeBranding.com, an International Speaker, Best Selling Author, Coach and Brand Profit Builder. I use my marketing and branding genius to help women entrepreneurs (and a few good men) build their STAND OUT personal brands and boost their profits. As she says "As early as i can remember I just didn't fit in...... Incessantly picked on as the odd ball. There’s always as a slight twist to my point of view and edge to my  emotions so because of that I spent many solitary hours painting, writing and playing music. As an artist it felt right be rebellious and break the rules. Leaving my California roots and taking up residence in New York City fuelled my creative passion, where just another mis-fit could fit in. Arriving in 1980 the gritty city was still dangerous, raw and full of possibilities. The art scene was exploding and I found myself right in the middle of it.
