  • Building a Business That Creates Wealth, Freedom, and Legacy with Sarah Bundy

    What if the business you’re building today could become one of your greatest assets for creating wealth, opportunity, and lasting impact?

    Today, Kami Guildner welcomes Sarah Bundy, five-time founder, multi-exit entrepreneur, and co-founder and CEO of Athena Collective, for a powerful conversation about thinking bigger about the businesses we’re building.

    Together, they explore what makes a business truly valuable, how to build wealth beyond revenue, and why our well-being, relationships, and strategic partnerships matter as we grow. They also explore what becomes possible when more women own valuable businesses and have the economic power to create meaningful change for generations to come.

    In This Episode:

    • How to think about your business as a wealth-building asset that creates lasting value beyond the revenue you’re generating today
    • What makes a business attractive to potential buyers and why it’s never too early to consider the long-term value of what you’re building
    • Why moving beyond being the person who does everything is essential to creating a business that can grow, thrive, and eventually operate without you
    • How strengthening your confidence, business knowledge, and capacity helps you make better decisions and lead your business into its next stage of growth
    • How to recognize the gaps in your systems, team, and expertise that may be limiting your growth, and where to focus your energy to move forward
    • Why your health, energy, and relationships are foundational to your business success, and how to build prosperity that supports the life you want to live
    • How the right strategic partnerships, meaningful connections, and supportive community can open doors to resources, opportunities, and growth you couldn’t create alone
    • Why greater economic power for women creates a powerful ripple effect, expanding opportunities for families, communities, and future generations
    • How to think bigger about the business you’re building, the wealth you’re creating, and the legacy you want to leave through your work in the world
    • Sarah Bundy is a five-time founder, award-winning entrepreneur, and Co-Founder & CEO of Athena Collective. Recognized among Canada’s Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs and Vancouver’s Top 40 Under 40, she built All Inclusive Marketing into a globally successful affiliate and partnership marketing agency, acquired in 2020. Her journey included burnout, personal sacrifice, and rebuilding after selling her first agency stake for one dollar. In 2025, she co-founded Athena Collective to help women build, scale, and exit successful businesses through community, resources, and strategic partnerships. Sarah lives with her husband, Iain, and their two children, and believes supported women change what’s possible.

    • Building a Valuable, Sellable Business: Exit Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs with Jen Thompson

      What if women built their businesses knowing that someday they could become an asset they could actually sell?

      In this episode, Kami Guildner is joined by her client Jen Thompson, founder of Alchemy Advisors and the Women of Mergers and Acquisitions Network, to talk about what makes a business valuable and sellable, why it’s worth thinking about an exit long before you’re ever ready for one, and why Jen wants more women represented throughout the M&A world.

      It’s an important conversation for women entrepreneurs because we spend so much time thinking about revenue and clients and impact and growth. There’s also an opportunity to build something that has lasting value and can ultimately contribute to our wealth.

      In This Episode:

      • Why it’s worth thinking about your exit strategy long before you have any intention of selling
      • What makes a business valuable and sellable and what potential buyers are actually looking for
      • How owner dependency can affect the value of your business and why building beyond yourself matters
      • Why recurring revenue, strong financials, documented processes, organizational structure, and a growth strategy all contribute to the value you’re building
      • How looking at your business through the lens of a future buyer can change the decisions you make today
      • Why waiting until a life event forces you to think about an exit can limit your options and the value you’ve had time to build
      • Why the people side of mergers and acquisitions matters just as much as the financial, legal, and transactional pieces
      • What it takes to realize the full value of an acquisition after the transaction is complete
      • Why more women need to understand the M&A world, both as business owners and as leaders helping shape how businesses are bought, sold, and transformed
      • How building a business with lasting value can become part of a bigger conversation about wealth for women entrepreneurs
      • Jen Thompson is Founder and CEO of ALKMY Advisors, a consulting firm focused on M&A integration, change management, and strategy execution. With over 20 years of professional experience, she has led executives and business leaders through M&A integrations, complex technology implementations, and project and strategy management. Jen is also President and Owner of Women of Mergers & Acquisitions Network (WoMAN), a membership-based organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of women in M&A through three pillars of INFORM, CONNECT, and SERVE.

          • When Your Voice Becomes a Movement: How Women Entrepreneurs Can Use Visibility to Create Greater Impact with Yev Muchnik

            Kami Guildner believes visibility is leadership. Our voices carry our ideas into the world, start conversations, build relationships, and bring people together around something that matters. Movement making happens when those ideas begin to travel beyond us and when others see themselves in the vision and help carry it forward.

            Today, Kami is joined by Yev Muchnik, founder of Launch Legal, who has been at the forefront of new ways of thinking about how we build businesses, how we share ownership, and how to bring more people into what we are creating. When war broke out in Ukraine, she used her visibility and relationships in the technology community to bring people together, helping create a global grassroots effort that raised millions for humanitarian needs. That’s visibility as leadership. That’s movement making.

            In This Episode:

            • How to think about visibility as leadership and use your voice to start conversations, build relationships, and bring people together around something that matters
            • What it takes for your ideas to begin traveling beyond you and how community can help your work grow into something bigger than you
            • How women entrepreneurs can build businesses differently by bringing more voices to the table, creating more collaborative models, and opening new possibilities for ownership and leadership
            • Why your relationships and visibility can become powerful catalysts for action when you use them intentionally to gather people around a shared purpose
            • What becomes possible when women step into positions of leadership and intentionally open doors for other women to join them, contribute their ideas, and lead
            • Why you don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room to create influence, and how finding your own way of expressing your ideas gives your voice power
            • How mentorship, relationships, and sharing our stories can create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond our own businesses
            • The question for every woman with important work in the world: What could your voice set in motion, who could you bring together, and what becomes possible when the work you’re here to do becomes bigger than you?
            • Yev Muchnik is a corporate and securities attorney with extensive experience in digital assets, Web3, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, securities, private equity, fund formation, debt, and equity capital raising, corporate governance, and compliance.

            • Women Backing Women: How Female Entrepreneurs Build Wealth, Visibility, and Bigger Businesses with Beth Mazza

              We’re stepping into a new quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, and the theme is Visibility and Movement Making. This is a conversation Kami Guildner cares deeply about because visibility at its highest level is leadership. It’s using your voice to carry an idea into the world, gathering people around something that matters, and allowing your work to become bigger than you. And when women use their visibility to open doors for other women, we begin to shift what is possible for all of us.

              Today, Kami is joined by Beth Mazza, a serial entrepreneur and international keynote speaker who has built and sold multiple companies. Now Beth is taking everything she has learned and putting it behind a much bigger mission, helping 10,000 women build seven-figure businesses and financial freedom. What happens when a woman takes everything she has learned, everything she has built, and turns her visibility toward creating possibility for thousands of other women? That’s movement making.

              In This Episode:

              • How to think bigger about the business you are building and give yourself permission to create greater wealth and financial freedom
              • Why doing the math on your bigger vision can help you see what is actually possible, from raising your prices to replacing your corporate salary or building toward seven figures
              • How to create personal non-negotiables that allow you to build a successful business that also supports the life, relationships, and time you value most
              • Why your relationships can become one of your greatest business assets, and how to build your own “kitchen cabinet” of people who offer wisdom, open doors, and help you grow
              • How taking the right risks and making small, intentional shifts can open the door to your next level of business growth
              • What becomes possible when women back other women, share what they have learned, and use their success to create greater possibility for those coming behind them
              • How doing one hard thing, having one meaningful conversation, and staying connected to a measurable goal can keep you moving toward the business and impact you are here to create
              • Beth Mazza is a serial entrepreneur and international keynote speaker dedicated to empowering women to break free from corporate constraints and build thriving, scalable million-dollar businesses. As the founder of Ashton Partners and Clermont Partners, Beth has successfully built and sold businesses – her first being at the age of 28 – valued at $40 million. With over three decades of experience in business and finance, she’s counseled industry-leading brands like Coca-Cola, NY Times, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Transocean, Five Below, and The Real Real.

                As our visibility grows, our businesses have to be ready to support that growth. The strongest businesses don’t just attract opportunities, they have the foundation to sustain them.

                Jessica’s philosophy, Structure Creates Freedom, reminds us that the right structure doesn’t limit possibility, it creates the space for businesses and leaders to thrive.

                • How the right structure creates more freedom, capacity, and space to do the work you are here to do
                • Why women entrepreneurs are slowing down, simplifying, and designing their businesses with greater intention
                • How stronger internal foundations support sustainable growth, scalability, and increased revenue
                • Why your client experience is deeply connected to what is happening behind the scenes in your business
                • How bringing a hospitality mindset into your business helps clients feel seen, heard, valued, appreciated, and supported
                • What to look at inside your business when you want more space for visibility, authority, and leadership
                • Why your visibility strategy can evolve as you and your business evolve
                • How intentional systems, delegation, and processes can help you spend more time in your zone of genius
                • Jessica Millhiser is the owner of JMills Consulting, where her mission is to help entrepreneurs build better businesses through stronger structure, clearer strategy, and intentional growth.

                • Stop Waiting and Start Leading: How Women Trust Themselves and Create Greater Impact with Ignite Speakers, Michelle Fournier and Jessica Jaramillo

                  As part of the Authority and Prosperity series, Kami Guildner continues introducing the incredible women who will be joining her on stage at the 12th Annual Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference, happening November 5-7.

                  Ignite is a gathering of women entrepreneurs who are ready to raise their voice, elevate their visibility, and build thriving businesses rooted in Soul+Strategy™. It’s three days of inspiration, connection, business growth, and possibility alongside an extraordinary community of women who are committed to creating meaningful impact in the world.

                  In this episode, Kami is joined by Jessica Jaramillo and Michelle Fournier, co-founders of The Presario Group. Together, they explore what it means to stop waiting for permission, trust who you already are, and step fully into your leadership. They also dive into identity, self-trust, and what happens when women stop trying to earn their worth and begin expressing it.

                  In This Episode:

                  • Why so many women are already leading but still hesitate to fully see themselves as leaders. 
                  • What shifts when women stop waiting for confidence, certainty, or permission and begin trusting who they already are. 
                  • Why success isn’t something we chase, but something we define for ourselves.
                  • How identity shapes every decision we make and why stepping into a new level of leadership begins from the inside out. 
                  • What the “messy middle” looks like when you’re growing beyond an old version of yourself and into your next evolution.
                  • Why women create greater impact when they stop trying to earn their worth and begin expressing it.
                  • How asking better questions can change the way you lead your business and your life.
                  • Why leadership creates healthier boundaries, better decisions, and businesses that reflect who you truly are.
                  • How women can move beyond old beliefs and step into leadership with greater self-trust, alignment, and joy.
                  • Jessica Jaramillo and Michelle Fournier are transformational coaches, speakers, and co-founders of The Presario Group. Together, they help women stop proving their worth, embrace their authentic leadership, and create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. Combining neuroscience, personal development, leadership coaching, and spiritual principles, they guide women through powerful identity shifts that lead to greater confidence, fulfillment, visibility, and impact. Through coaching, retreats, workshops, and speaking, Jessica and Michelle inspire women to remember who they are, trust themselves deeply, and step boldly into their purpose. Their guiding belief: Nothing is missing. Nothing is broken.

                  • Authority and Prosperity: How Women Create Success That Feels Aligned with Felicia Searcy

                    Kami Guildner is joined by Felicia Searcy, transformational coach, author, speaker, creator of The Human Success Code, and a featured speaker at the 2026 Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference.

                    Women who have built meaningful businesses often reach a point where success becomes less about proving and more about standing in what they know. In this conversation, Felicia shares how success follows a pattern, a code, and how understanding that code can transform the way we lead, show up, and create prosperity. Together, they explore alignment, authority, and the shifts that help women create success that feels expansive, meaningful, and true to who they are.

                    In This Episode:

                    • Why authority deepens when women stop striving to prove themselves and begin fully owning what they know and who they are becoming
                    • How alignment creates the foundation for success and why vision must come before strategy and action
                    • What it means to move from being a manifestor trying to make things happen to a creator partnering with something bigger than yourself
                    • How women unknowingly create gaps in their success and what shifts when they reconnect with the vision that is calling them forward
                    • Why receiving is an essential part of prosperity and how expanding your capacity to receive changes everything
                    • How fulfillment, purpose, and impact become powerful drivers of prosperity beyond financial success alone
                    • Why stewardship of your gifts, wisdom, and experience is a critical part of stepping into your authority
                    • How trusting that life is supporting you creates a different way of leading, creating, and growing your business
                    • Felicia Searcy is a 4-time award-winning transformational coach, author, speaker, and ordained minister who helps people understand how success actually works. She is the creator of The Human Success Code, a framework that reveals the universal keys behind alignment, fulfillment, and sustainable results.

She believes success isn’t random; it follows a code.

                    • Becoming Known: How Women Build Authority, Visibility, and Prosperity for Their Next Level with Kami Guildner

                      Kami Guildner closes out the Great Recalibration season by reflecting on the deeper shifts she is seeing in women entrepreneurs right now. There is a quiet, powerful return happening. A return to voice. A return to truth. A return to a way of building that starts from within. In this solo conversation, Kami shares the evolution into the next season of Extraordinary Women Radio, focused on Authority and Prosperity, along with the deeper thinking behind her One Message for the World framework and the work of helping women step more fully into the leadership they are here to embody.

                      In This Episode:

                      • Why women who already know how to grow their businesses are realizing that the next level is about how they lead, how they make decisions, and how deeply they trust themselves
                      • What is shifting in visibility and authority right now, and why simply “showing up more” is no longer enough to become the go-to voice in your space
                      • Why trust, original thinking, and clear leadership perspectives matter more than ever in a world filled with AI-generated content and constant noise
                      • How to move from being visible to being truly known for your work, your ideas, and the perspective you are here to lead with
                      • The deeper work of embodying your message so your leadership is not just heard, but felt, remembered, and carried forward by others
                      • How women are building businesses that reflect who they are now and support where they are going with more alignment, prosperity, and impact
                      • What it means to become a movement maker, where your message grows beyond content and begins shaping how people think, lead, and grow 
                      • Powerful examples from women leaders stepping fully into their authority, refining their voice, and becoming recognized for the meaningful work they are bringing into the world
                      • Kami Guildner believes women’s voices matter. She is a connector. A storyteller. A business coach for high-vibe women entrepreneurs helping them #RaiseUP their Voice, Vision, and Visibility for impact and business growth.

                        Kami works with movement maker women entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses and are scaling to multi-six-figures and beyond, now stepping into their next level of visibility, influence, and revenue. These are women whose work is expanding and who are ready to be known for their ideas.

                        She helps her clients build businesses they love with more time prosperity and more wealth prosperity. Through her Soul+StrategyTM approach, she weaves soulful inspiration into mindful business strategy, guiding women to elevate their message, strengthen their presence, and create a rhythm of visibility that attracts aligned clients and opportunities.

                        Kami’s journey from corporate business executive to leader of women entrepreneurs was sparked by the breath of a horse over a decade ago. That moment opened a new path of leading and building, rooted in intuition, voice, and connection.

                        Kami believes women’s wisdom is the medicine our earth needs. Today, her community is creating a new paradigm of entrepreneurship, where women rise together and lead with purpose. They are becoming known for their ideas, expanding their influence, and creating meaningful impact through the businesses they are building.

                        Kami is the founder of the Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference and host of the award-winning Extraordinary Women RadioTM. She is the best-selling author of Firedancer: Your Spiral Journey to a Life of Passion and Purpose and was named to the 2020 Twenty-Five Most Powerful Women in Business List by the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce.
