    How to use AI to amplify your uniqueness - Part 2

    This is going to sound hard, but trust me, it’s an important wakeup call: AI won't go anywhere, but neither will you if you keep outsourcing your power to an LLM.

  2. The Truth About AI, Intuition, and Building a Business in 2026 - Part 1

    The Truth About AI, Intuition, and Building a Business in 2026 - Part 1

    Everyone keeps saying that AI is here to replace people in their jobs. That AI is this cold learning machine that's so advanced that humans won't be able to keep up with the pace. But in this episode, Bunny makes it clear that no amount of technological advancement could ever replace your authenticity and magnetism. What AI can do, however, is support your expansion and reach. In Part 1 of this two-part series on the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny goes deep into what happens when entrepreneurs stop seeing AI as a threat and start seeing it as a tool. In this episode, Bunny shares her perspective on the growing fears many online entrepreneurs have about being replaced, and why she believes this moment represents a real opportunity. She also pulls back the curtain on how she's using AI inside her own businesses, why strategy and energetics are not opposites, and what entrepreneurs need to understand before handing over their voice, content, or decision-making to technology. If you've been curious about AI, skeptical of it, or wondering how to integrate it into your business without losing what makes you unique, this episode is for you. Timestamps 00:00 Yes, And!

    From $38K Teacher to Multi 7 Figure CEO w. Cait Scudder

    In this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny talks with entrepreneur and business mentor Cait Scudder for a conversation about identity shifts, risk, reinvention, and what happens when you finally stop building a life that no longer fits you. Before building a multi-seven-figure company, Cait was making $38,000 a year as a teacher, overworked, exhausted, and quietly realizing she couldn’t keep forcing herself into a version of success that looked good on paper but felt completely disconnected from who she was becoming. What followed was not some perfectly mapped out business plan. It started with a resignation letter sent from Spain before taking a group of students to an EDM rave in Barcelona. Then came Bali, a complete life pivot, meeting her now husband by chance, and eventually building a business rooted in both strategy and personal transformation. Bunny and Cait talk about what it actually looks like to grow a business organically, why relationships matter more than most marketing strategies, and how many entrepreneurs get stuck building businesses that simply become demanding jobs. This conversation also moves into motherhood, identity, and the parts of growth people don’t talk about enough. The void seasons. The cave. The moments where everything old stops fitting before the next version of you fully arrives. And maybe most importantly, the permission to let your life evolve without needing every next step perfectly figured out first. This episode is for the person standing between safety and expansion, wondering if they’re allowed to want something different. Because sometimes the biggest shift starts with finally admitting you’ve outgrown the life everyone expected you to keep. Timestamps 00:00 Welcome to the Yes, And!

    From $1,200 in the Bank to Building Multi-Million Dollar Businesses

    What does wealth actually look like once you’ve built enough to realize money alone isn’t the point anymore? In this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny chats with commercial real estate broker, entrepreneur, and investor Joe Killinger for a conversation that moves far beyond buying property or chasing money. Joe shares the story of building a company while surviving the pressure of entrepreneurship with barely any money in the bank. The ace up his sleeve? Growing businesses through relationships, consistency, and long-term thinking. Bunny and Joe talk about what wealth actually means when freedom becomes more valuable than status. They talk about building companies instead of jobs, surrounding yourself with people smarter than you, burnout, entrepreneurship, investing, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with success. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, this episode becomes a conversation about legacy. About building something bigger than yourself. About creating a life that feels meaningful while you’re living it, not just impressive from the outside.

    What Nobody Tells You About Changing Directions After Years Of Success

    What happens when the very thing you spent years building successfully starts asking you to become someone new? In this episode of Yes, And! Bunny chats with long-time creative collaborator and tech founder Cathy Olson to unpack the often uncomfortable evolution that happens inside a business when it grows out of its original container. This conversation moves past surface-level marketing advice to land in the emotional landscape of entrepreneurship. Cathy shares open, vulnerable reflections on shifting her business model, navigating massive identity transitions alongside a long-term partner, and the vulnerable process of staying grounded when the structures around you are in constant motion. Underneath the logistics of funnels, platforms, and programs is a much deeper work that needs to be done, and it's about trusting your intuition and finding the permission to let your identity change as your vision expands.

    Is Self-Management The Future of Work? w. Doug Kirkpatrick

    In this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny brings TEDx speaker, executive coach, author, and educator Doug Kirkpatrick to talk about self-management at work. Doug dives into how he was a founding member of the team that built one of the largest tomato processing companies in the world without a single boss. This conversation reflects on accountability and a better way of doing business. It goes deep into the philosophy behind great ideas and great companies: community. And how this blurs the lines between personal and professional life, where in both, keeping your word matters. This is a masterclass on integrity, business success, and how commitment shows through self-trust, and through the choices you make when no one is watching. Timestamps 00:00 Yes, and!

    Why Some People Invest $15K Without Hesitating

    What if sales had nothing to do with convincing people and everything to do with value? Bunny shares how an unexpected moment with her daughter after coming home from horseback riding turned into one of the deepest lessons on sales, investing, business growth, and human behavior. Bunny opens up about the uncomfortable side of entrepreneurship. The part where building the business you want requires risk, discomfort, uncertainty, and decisions that won’t always make sense to everyone around you. There’s also a deeper conversation here around identity. About what happens when you stop seeing yourself as “someone trying to make it,” and start seeing yourself as the investment itself. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro Yes, And! 02:20 What entrepreneurs misunderstand about investing 04:40 Why discomfort is part of building something meaningful 08:50 The real reason people hesitate to invest in themselves 11:20 What people truly value will always get their time and money 13:30 Investing in experiences, community, and long-term growth 15:00 The type of entrepreneur DEFY is actually built for 16:30 Building impact without burnout Connect with your host, Bunny Young: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bunnysumneryoung/ Website: https://www.abetterplaceconsulting.com/ Instagram: @thebunnyyoung
