Finding Your Solution with Soon Hagerty

If you have any connection to the automotive world, Soon Hagerty is the name to know. Senior vice president of brand at Hagerty, the world's largest provider of specialty insurance for classic vehicles, Soon has played a lead role in transforming Hagerty from a local insurance company operating in a basement to a global publicly traded lifestyle brand with a valuation of more than three billion dollars. But not only that, Soon is also the founder and co-owner of The Good Bowl, a mission-based Vietnamese restaurant that donates $1 per bowl to charity, and the co-founder and president of the Boundless Futures Foundation which is dedicated to supporting aspiring female entrepreneurs. In this episode of Claim Your Confidence, we talk about the heart and soul within the car world, the importance of identifying a problem to solve when beginning any entrepreneurial endeavor, and all of the ways in which Soon gives back through her work.

• The story behind The Good Bowl, and how simplicity is often the key when encouraging people to support charities
