Danny Brown

Danny Brown

One of the people lately that has had a tremendous impact on my life, and one of the reasons I decided to start #SundayStar hashtag and blog post series is Danny Brown. Not only is Danny a pretty great guy, but he is also the founder of 12for12k.

It’s what he does beyond that though that makes the difference. Danny is a great connector – connecting people through Twitter, blogs, fund raising Tweetups and more; he has got a great sense of community. Just reading through his blog, watching his Twitter stream and seeing how he interacts with all levels of people is a wonderful and learning experience.

One of the best things I take from Danny is challenges. So often at the end of a blog post he leaves the reader with a question, usually one that challenges their thought process, their being or the way they conduct themselves, in life and in business. At least for me, many of his blog posts do that, as do many of his tweets.

Danny also is a very compassionate person – I have seen this through the 12for12k project he created. He has a genuine interest in being the best he can be, while helping those around him – in his local area, or around the world.

That is why I have chosen to lead my #SundayStar series off with him. He has made me challenge myself to become a better person, think things differently, check how I act and react and given me things to think about that have lead to changes inside and out. When you find a person like that, you really should just say “Thank-You”. And why not do a #SundayStar post and send a Tweet or two about it.
