About

My team and I help complex organizations grow by scaling business development skills across their organizations and creating a growth-oriented culture. I'm the author of Give to Grow, The Snowball System, and the host of the podcast Real Relationships Real Revenue, and the founder of Bunnell Idea Group (BIG). Our team and I have trained tens of thousands of professionals. BIG’s clients have used Mo and his team’s GrowBIG® training to give their experts a system for growth that creates deep relationships, gives a comprehensive business development framework and dare we say, is fun to use. I started my career as a technical expert, passing all the actuarial exams to earn the highest designation: Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. Today, I love working with hundreds of clients, including some of the largest and most prestigious service-based organizations in the world. On the personal side, my wife Becky and I have been married for over 30 years. We enjoy spending time with our friends and two adult daughters. Outside of work, I love working out, backpacking, and playing ultimate frisbee at both the national and world levels. Becky and I live in Atlanta, Georgia, with our four horses, two cats, a dog, a bird, and a miniature donkey named Louie Hamilton.

The clothing warehouse

Owner

Feb 2006Jun 2009 · 3 yrs 4 mos · www.theclothingwarehouse.com

  • The Clothing Warehouse is a system of vintage clothing stores, specializing in extremely fashionable jeans, Ts, dresses, cowboy boots, accessories and other items.
  • I helped build The Clothing Warehouse to 1) several stores (both corporately-owned and franchised), 2) a blossoming franchise sales/support infrastructure and 3) a large and growing vintage wholesale business. We became the largest vintage clothing chain and largest vintage wholesale business in the country in a few short years - and we started with only one corporately-owned store when I joined the partnership.
  • I sold my interest in the company to my partner and friend Jim Buckley, so that I could focus on my quickly-growing business development consulting firm, Bunnell Idea Group (BIG). BIG is my passion. I love the ever-changing world of consulting. While I really enjoyed my partners and I personally had a blast growing this business, I now focus my time and energy on helping other companies grow their business faster, while deepening relationships.
