Titles, accolades, and financial milestones often measure success. But for Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, CEO of Lush Enterprises, LLC, success is about transformation - financial, emotional, and generational. Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless talks with Sun Yong about how she’s built a career helping others break free from survival mode and step into true financial independence.

Even in her dream job, with the title and passion she’d worked hard to earn, her paycheck fell short of the life she envisioned. That eye-opening moment led her to redefine success, not just loving her work, but building real financial impact through strategy and growth. Her quest for freedom sparked a bold pivot into options trading, where education, consistent practice, and calculated risks became the foundation of her success.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini is the CEO and founder of Lush Enterprises, LLC. She is also an author and educator focused on financial success, particularly options trading. She also authored "Invest In Yourself" and co-authored "Opposite/Opposites".
