Dan Utt: Harnessing the Power of Weirdness in Business
The whole point of the book is kind of like looking at the things that not you, in the back of your head, the things that are different, the things that, uh, you're not totally sure how the world can handle, you know, and all those different things that make you uniquely, you bringing them into the light, looking at them honestly and then throwing them together to figure out what kind of unique thing you can put into the world.
Ever felt like you don't quite fit the mold? Meet Dan Utt, a self-proclaimed 'weird guy' who's turning that uniqueness into a superpower. In this episode of 'Never by the Book', host Kelly Schols chats with Dan about how embracing his quirks has fueled his success as an entrepreneur, brand designer, and consultant.

Together, Kelly and Dan dive into the benefits of authenticity in both business and personal life, sharing candid stories and valuable lessons. From leadership accountability to overcoming mental health hurdles, this conversation is packed with insights that challenge conventional thinking. If you're looking for inspiration to embrace your own uniqueness and turn it into an advantage, this episode is a must-listen.
