    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

    Why I Closed a 14-Year Investment Account to Bet on Myself Again

    When you lead a growing business, there’s one topic around money you can’t escape. And I’m not talking about taxes. I’m talking about where money growth actually happens: investments. In this solo episode, Bunny shares one of the boldest financial decisions she’s made. But I need to warn you, this is by no means financial advice. This is a perfect example of what it looks like when you’re faced with the decision to either stay comfortable or move in alignment with the growth you want to experience. After more than a decade of building an investment account that held the equivalent of about five years’ salary, she decided to close it. Not because it failed, but because it no longer matched the way she thinks about money, growth, and trust. For Bunny, investments look like the rooms she chooses to be in. The people. The containers. The masterminds. All while keeping a safety net that supports the freedom to choose what’s next. Because when we talk about investments, we’re not just talking about money. We’re talking about how your energy, your time, your strategy, and your intuition work together. If you feel ready to explore how all of these elements come together for your next level of growth, we have something for you.

    From Corporate Safety to First 5-Figure Month in 5 Months w. Eleonora Valenti

    After watching this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast, you might start to feel like Eleonora’s story, and everything that has unfolded for her since leaving the safety of a growing corporate career, could be possible for you too. Eleonora Valenti is an active member of Bunny’s signature program, DEFY, and her journey is far from usual. Before going full-time in her coaching business and hitting her first five-figure month within her first five months, she was building a high-level career at companies like Nike and Mindvalley. Tho what you’ll hear in this episode is more than a bold career move. It’s what happens when someone decides to trust themselves before the proof is there. When they stop waiting for the “right time,” and start moving with what they know is possible. Elle shares how she navigated the pressure of being the breadwinner for her family, what shifted in the way she approached her business, and how that led to her first five-figure month faster than she expected. There’s also a deeper layer in this conversation. About support. About being in the right room. About what changes when you stop trying to figure everything out on your own and allow yourself to be guided, challenged, and seen. You’ll hear how Elle built a business that moves with her life across countries, motherhood, and constant change, without sacrificing presence, freedom, or the feeling she was actually after in the first place. If you’ve been feeling that pull to do things differently but haven’t fully acted on it yet, we have something for you. Money Magic May is one of the ways you can step into that. MMM is a 30-day experience designed to help you build momentum, shift your relationship with sales, and start seeing what’s possible when you move with clarity and consistency.
