Yes, And! w. Bunny Young

Welcome back for Season 2 of Yes, And! This week’s guest is tech consultant and user experience designer Avani Miriyala Jain. Avani’s impact on UX design standards can’t be overstated.

In this episode, we share a conversation about the intersections of tech, UX, UI, and the impact of feminine influence in the industry. Avani shares the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field and how empathy and creativity can enhance tech design. She also breaks down how behavioral psychology shapes app use and the user-engagement tactics of platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). All of this informs our perspective on mindful phone usage, responsible financial strategies, and even the basics of crypto investment.

When I first met Shoshanna Raven, I wasn’t expecting her to change the way I thought about business. But in less than 30 days, she shifted my perspective on everything from sales to scaling, and I knew I had to bring her on the show to share her approach with you.

Shoshanna is the founder of Living Brave and has built a multi-million dollar business without complicated sales funnels, high-pressure launches, or a massive social media presence. Instead, she leads with relationships, ease, and a deep trust in her work and her community.

This episode is about what happens when you stop forcing business to work the way you think it “should” and start leaning into the way it actually wants to work for you. We talk about how to scale without burnout, how to build deep connections that lead to real success, and why finding the gap in the conversation is the most powerful thing you can do in your business.
