Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (04:22):
I am so excited to be here on your
podcast and the way youintroduced me, I think just said
it beautifully.
I don't know if I need to sayanything more.
No, I'm just kidding.

Jennifer Loehding (04:33):
This is.
Hey, listen, you don't know meand I'm going to tell you this
really quick.
So I spent 22 years in Mary Kay, with many of those years in
leadership, and so obviously inthat world we do a lot of
accolades, and so it was verynormal for us to be introduced
with accolades or introduce ourteam with accolades, and so for

(04:54):
me, this is just normal part ofmy day, but it's probably one of
my most favorite parts of doingthe creation of this, because I
get to sort of kind of paintthe picture of who the person is
that we're going to chat, youknow, with.
But also I think it's funbecause you guys sort of get to
hear that about yourself, and Ithink it's fun when somebody
sort of kind of tells us who weare like, reads back all the

(05:15):
things we've done.
You know what I mean.
So it's fun for me as much asit is for you too.
Yes, it is a lot of fun.
It's just great, awesome whenyou've done some awesome things.
So I want to talk about you.
I want to talk about thisjourney, what you've learned,
because I know people listeningto this today are going to be
like, wow, this is justincredible.
So tell us a little bit about.

(05:35):
Let's start with what you'redoing now.
I want to start there, withwhere you're at right now in
your life, and then we're goingto back this up just a tad after
that.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (05:42):
Okay, sure Boy, right now, at this
moment, I'm just literally likeliving my dream life, Seriously
being retired and just teachingpeople how to make money, the
skills that they need to learn,because we all need the money
right, and being able to traveland if things are like needs to
be replaced appliances, thebroken appliances, anything.

(06:03):
It's not like I have to wait 30days for the next paycheck.
I could just go and get it now.
It's like, okay, something'sbroken, let's replace it now.
If we don't want any like acarpet and into like a wood
floor, let's just do it now.
Where my life before I wasliving like paycheck to paycheck
, it's like I can't even do that.
It's like I got gotta wait twoor three years.

(06:32):
I have to wait till I save upmoney.
So, having living this dreamlife, having that peacefulness
and feeling content and beingstay home and being able to
travel and you know, being ableto, uh, fly first class, which I
never got to do when I wasworking for a company at my
dream job, but being able to flyuh, you fly first class and
just having that extra TLC carelevel when you travel and once
you're there, I remember once ina while when I would go on

(06:54):
vacations before I became aseven figure entrepreneur, was
that, once I got there, it tookall of my money to get here,
with airline tickets and placeto stay, but I had no money to
go do anything when.
Now it's like dream life, islike wow, we're here on a first
class and we're able to travel,we're able to go out to eat, we
could, you know, go on avacation for like a month at a

(07:16):
time, not just one week or twoweeks, right, and it's just
unbelievable.
And it is just a way how thethings that I have learned, that
I'm able to, you know, live itdaily basis, continue to
practice and continue to teachpeople.
You know paying forward andbeing glad, you know, having

(07:37):
that gratitude of like,everything that I have
accomplished, because obviouslyI didn't do this all by myself,
I didn't do it with all easiness.
You know it's just like willingto tackle, willing to face the
obstacles.
It's not like, you know, okay,I think I'm going to do that and

(07:59):
it was just breeze.
No, it didn't happen like that.
It was just a long journey, butit was just fun and the the
funnest part of the journey isthat the lessons that I have
learned and the curvings youknow what I mean Like the, the
failures that I've been through,and using that as like my
stepping stone.
Instead of going, oh I'm scared, you know, like I don't think

(08:21):
I'm going to do that anymore, no, like you just keep going, it's
like, oh, there's another pathI got to go through, let's do it
.
It's just amazing.
And people that are around you,that we surround ourselves, is
just so different too, justbecause already automatically
your mindset is just likeelevated than your normal life.
You know, I just can't explainit.

(08:42):
It's just wonderful.
Well, and listening to you, youknow, I just can't explain it,
it's just wonderful.

Jennifer Loehding (08:45):
Well, and listening to you, you know it's
interesting because in all theyears that I was in Mary Kay,
you know we had these differentlevels right we had on the top
were these emeriti, and thenational emeriti were obviously
the retired ones, and then wehad the national sales directors
, which are where kind of theepitome of where all of the Mary
Kay, most of Mary Kay, theywanted to live, because it's not

(09:06):
lifestyle, that's what you'retalking about Basically, it's
that freedom to, to travel.
And so it's interesting becauseI talked to these people and I
heard this for years from then.
What you're kind of essentiallytalking about right now is just
this freedom, right, freedom tochoose, and we used to always
talk about, you know, mary Kay,like money.
Money didn't doesn't buyhappiness, but it buys you

(09:26):
freedom to choose Right.
And so when you don't have it,it's like not breathing Right,
like when you don't, and youknow because you've been on that
side and you've been on thisside, and so it's so interesting
when you say you know like it's, it's justsee it right, like
you can't unsee this other side.
So it's so great and refreshing, you know, to hear this from

(09:49):
you, but also I think what'sremarkable about your story is
to show people that where youcame from and how you work to
this place right Now to have it,because it wasn't something
where you just woke up andyou're like, oh my goodness, you
know, I dream a genie, bleak,whatever you know, wiggle your
nose and you're there.
No, you had to put in all thework to get to this place and I

(10:15):
think that's what's so neat, isthat you're you're talking about
this and showing people that,hey, this was the process or
this is what I had to go throughand and to get to this, this
place, so I commend you for that.
It's awesome, thank you.
Thank you, I love it, I love itand I and I'm with you.
I feel like it's sort of likewhen I talk about like wisdom,
you cannot see what you see,right, like it's like, once you
learn something, you can't unseeit and you're like how did I
not ever see that before?

(10:36):
But you, you weren't supposedto see it, that was not your
place to see it at that time.
Right, you know when you, whenyou see it is when you see it
yeah, yeah, and you, you wereright on spot too.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (10:47):
Just because, as we're journeying
through, you know, we just thinkabout just uh, why me or I
can't handle this anymore.
We don't think about anythingelse, but just on mom, and it's
like, oh, this is just terribleand I don't know if I could take
another step.
I don't know if I could go onlike this for another month or a
year.

(11:07):
You know, we just think abouthow bad that is, instead of if
we were to focus on you knowwhat this could turn into.
We don't know.
But a lot of things that I'vedone as I was growing up that I
didn't think about, like, if Ido this, this is what I'm going

(11:29):
to get, because I didn't haveanybody around me to let me know
.
That's what the result is.
It's just when you findyourself like, okay, enough is
enough, my life has to bedifferent than what I'm living
now, yeah, then you have to dosomething about it, right?

(11:52):
And so little teeny steps thatyou take, like today, like we
could look at ourselves and say,okay, what do I have right now
that I could do to be successful?
And a lot of times we think,well, I've got to have money,
I've got to have a successfulbusiness and I've got to be
successful.
And a lot of times we think,well, I've got to have money,
I've got to have a successfulbusiness and I've got to have a
team that you know.
No, especially when you don'thave those things, what can you

(12:13):
do within your you know, withinyour circle, within your
surroundings, like what can youfind that is going to change and
shift your life?

Jennifer Loehding (12:25):
Yeah, that's good.
It's good.
No, I agree with you totally.
And it's starting.
I always say start where youare right, like start where you
are with what you have in thatmoment, because we always like
to look at something and gocompare ourselves to somebody
else's journey and we don't evenhave all the resources or the
things that they've got in thatplace right.
So we have to really just startwith where we are.

(12:50):
But it's so good that you saythat, because it compounds over
time the little things that wedo just keep compounding.
And it's like this ineverything.
It doesn't matter whetheryou're setting out a business or
you're adopting a new lifestyleplan, whatever it is, or you're
going to take on a neweducational course, whatever
it's all these compoundingeffects that we do step by step
along the way.
So so good.
I love it, want to back it up.
I want to talk a little bitabout your journey, because

(13:11):
you've had a remarkable journeyand I just I love these stories
Like I am a sucker for thesestories because I think they
really show you that anything ispossible.
You know, and you strike me asthe type of person you said this
because you didn't really knowdifferent.
That you know, I firmly believe, unless somebody tells me

(13:31):
something can't be done, there'salways a part of me that's like
I'm going to test that water,like I'm just going to, and
maybe that's why my kids arethis way when we were talking
about them doing things thatsometimes I just have to, like,
pause for a moment.
Apple meat tree, right, becauseI am one of those that if
somebody tells me somethingcan't be done and if they
haven't shown me that it reallycan't be done, then I'm going to

(13:51):
want to maybe check that out.
So you strike me as a type ofperson that's like I'm going to
keep pushing.
So let's back up and tell us alittle bit about the beginning
stages of how we got to where weare Sure.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (14:03):
So just to make it really quick here, so
basically I was born in SouthKorea and when I was a little
girl my mother passed away andthen right after that my dad
decided to just kind of leave,you know, didn't tell us where
he was going or nothing.
I don't ever remember having acommunications with him at all,
although when before my motherpassed away he would bring me a

(14:23):
pretty dress to wear, but Icould never enjoy it just
because I could stand up to wearit and then show it off.
I was just always on the floor,just not able to walk.
So just basically.
So my dad passed, I mean tookoff, without telling us where he
was going.
He did tell my sister and sayyou know, I want you to take

(14:46):
care of Sanyoung.
So my sister and I we became aninstant orphan after my dad
left us.
So we were in an orphanage inMokpo, lived there for a couple
of years.
At there, that orphanage, therewas a couple of things I
realized as a little girl.
Sometimes we watch things orlisten to people, the grownups,
and then we realize, aha, youknow, or okay.

(15:09):
And so at that orphanage Irealized that my family, I
thought that my family wasnormal.
When my dad left us, I was like, how could you do that to us?
Like that's mean, like we needa mother and a father to take
care of us.
But here we are, but thatorphanage.
I would hear babies crying, andthen the orphanage workers

(15:29):
would go open the front door andpick up a newborn baby uh, to
like two or three months oldeven, and wrapped in a thin
blanket and the baby would justcry, cry, cry until someone
would pick them up, and so theywould open the door and pick up
the baby and they would justtalk door and pick up the baby
and they would just talk aboutoh, we've got another baby today
to take care of.
You know, it's an orphanage.

(15:49):
So, right, those moments Irealized, aha, my family is
normal.
It's normal for family to droptheir kids off or leave and go
somewhere else.
Another thing that I realizedliving in that orphanage was
that I want to be able to do thethings other kids were doing,

(16:12):
which was they were playingoutside, they were walking and I
could not walk and I thought,why can I not walk?
And so I want that, right, Iwant that.
Then, just a few months later,my sister, out of the blue.
She showed me a picture and shesays I want to take you to this
new place.
And I'm like what is this place?

(16:33):
She says this is a place thatyou're going to learn to walk.
But in the back of my mind,watching other kids playing
outside, I wanted to learn towalk because I wanted to play
outside.
But when it came to anopportunity where my sister says
here, I'm going to take you tothis place and this is where
you're going to learn to walk,and I said wait a minute, I
don't want that.

(16:53):
How many times do we do that?
We look at the equipment,that's what we want, but then
what we have to go through,we're like uh-uh, no, thank you,
right.
And so when my sister gave mean opportunity and said I'm
going to take you to this placewhere they're going to teach you
how to walk, and I said uh, no,thanks, no, I just want to live

(17:14):
with you.
That's all I want.
I lost my mom and dad.
You're the only person that Ihave.
No, I'm good, I don't want it.
And as her older than me, shehad a responsibility to take
care of me.
You know, remember, she losther mom too.
We're sisters right.
And so she says so she took methere.

(17:35):
And that second orphanage and itwas just a full of handicapped
kids.
It was like rehab center.
And when I went into thatorphanage I was so scared
because I have never seen somany kids in my life.
Every corner that you turnaround, everybody was walking
with the wheelchair, I meanwalking with the crutches,
walking with the limp andgetting around with the

(17:57):
wheelchairs, and I have neverseen anybody all at one time.
I was just scared.
Well, in that orphanage mysister and I we kind of fought
back and forth, leaning likesaying I don't want to leave you
, you know, I don't want you togo, I want you to stay with me,
and all that back and forth.
And finally, like I don't know,it took like more than an hour,

(18:17):
I would say like it was allmorning long just going back and
forth and she was talking tothe orphanage workers there and
finally she says I have to go tothe bathroom.
And I said okay, no problem,I'll go with you.
You know, like she's used totaking me to the bathroom
because I can walk Right, and soit was just normal thing.
And I said no problem, I'll gowith you and she said this time

(18:47):
I don't trust you.
Somehow I have this instinct,even as a little girl.
It's like something is off.
Something is off a little bit.
So I said, no, I'll go, we'llhold hands, we'll go.
She says, no, I'll be rightback.
She even pinky promised.
She says I'll be right back.
Let's promise each other, andin Korea when we pinky promise
means it's like literally likepromise, promise.

(19:10):
So I let her go because shesaid she had to go to the
bathroom, so bad.
And I let her go and I waitedall day.
When the dinner time came, Ididn't want to eat dinner.
I was still waiting for her tocome back to me, never came back
.
That's the moment, jennifer, Irealized my life fell apart.

(19:35):
I didn't want to live anymore.
I didn't want to exist.
I mean, I wanted to crawl backinto my mother's dead womb.
I wanted to tell her.
I wanted to tell my mom I, mom,mom, guess what happened After
you died?
Dad left, now my sister left,now I'm all alone.
What am I supposed to do?
How am I supposed to survive?
I wanted to tell those thingsto my mother.

(19:57):
I was just aching in my heart.
And that day, when I decidedfor me how my life is going to
be, I'm never going to talk toanybody, I'm never going to
trust anybody, I never willsmile at anybody period.

(20:21):
I decided that for me that day.
Yeah, so I was left there.
There didn't have a choice, andI was just watching people
getting around and one of thestaff worker told me so I think
that you need to learn to walk.
That's where your sisterdropped here.

(20:42):
And I didn't talk to her oranything, I was just really mad.
And she showed me what to do.
We didn't have any physicaltherapists or anybody, you know,
not like America Life, you know.
So she told me there's a longhallways, everywhere there's
long hallways and that's a rehabcenter.
So everybody was hanging on tothings, getting around,
wheelchairs and everything.
So she showed me hang on to therail, stand up and sit down,

(21:06):
stand up and sit down, stand upand sit down.
She said that's all you do.
You do that until you feelcomfortable.
Once you feel comfortable, thenyou hang on to the rail and you
take a step.
And I thought to myself I can'tdo that.
Nobody's here to help me.
But I didn't have a choice.
As I was watching other kidsgetting around, I couldn't even

(21:30):
get around.
I was just squinting myself onthe floor with my buttock and my
hands and my right knee gettingaround this way.
Wow, I wanted to be able to atleast get around in a wheelchair
and so, okay, I'll do that.
So my main thing in thatorphanage was just doing that.

(21:52):
That's all I did Eat my mealsand just did that.
I didn't talk to anybody.
I had nothing to do, live forthat.
I didn't want to associate withanybody, I didn't care to make
friends.
That's all I did because Iwanted to get around like other
kids.
And when I was about six orseven years old.
So I was put in that orphanageabout age five and it took me

(22:15):
about a year or two to learn towalk on my own, just by doing
that process for years.
And when I was about six, sevenyears old, I remember all the
staffs were sitting on a chair.
They put me in the middle ofthe floor and they says okay,
now I want you to take a second.
They watched me, what I coulddo, right?

(22:36):
Obviously I didn't know theywere watching me, but obviously
they were watching me.
They put me in the middle ofthe room and everybody was
around away from me and theysaid stand up.
And so I stood up in the middleof the room and everybody was
around away from me and theysaid stand up.
And so I stood up in the middleof the floor like this right,
and they said now take a step.
There's nothing next to me forme to hang on to.
There was no chair, there wasnobody, no rails.

(22:57):
I was just me and the floormiddle of the room.
And they told me to take a stepand I was just so scared that
was the scariest moment in mylife at age six or seven.
And they said take a step.
And I said uh-uh.
They said take a step, we knowyou can do it.
I said uh-uh.

(23:17):
I said I got to have something,I got to hang on to something.
She goes nope, you don't needit.
They were just watching me.
So after, about, it took meprobably like an hour going back
and forth and I was shaking, Iwas just so scared and finally
took a step with my right foot,like this, and I was watching
the floor, make sure the floordid not move, because they
didn't tell me the floor was notgoing to move.

(23:38):
They just said just take a step.
So I look at the floor,nothing's near me.
And I just took a one step withmy right foot and I was smiling
because the floor didn't move.
It stayed.
So then I thought, okay, theysaid, now take another step with
the left foot, and I was likethey're just crazy, I can't take

(23:59):
another step, I'm going to fall.
Anyway, it took me a long timeto take my second step.
I'll tell you when thathappened, at the moment my life
turned around 360 degrees whereI was like I hate the world, I
don't trust anything.

(24:20):
That process I learned to trustthose people because they told
me to take a step but I did.
But then I also learned totrust myself because I was going
to say bam.
Yes, I did those process ofpracticing every single day and
put to test and then took a stepand I thought I could do this.

(24:42):
I cannot believe it and thefirst thing that I wanted to do
is to do running around, being agopher, running errands for
everybody, for the wholeorphanage, because they cannot
walk normal.
I can't now.

Jennifer Loehding (25:00):
Yes, it lit a fire in you.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (25:03):
I was just so happy so I would do
errands for everybody, like whatdo you need?
What do you need?
What do you mean to take?
You know, carry younger kids onmy back and just carry them to
one place.
I was just so happy.
That was just so happy.
That was like my new life and Irealized that moment that I
could also pay back and I couldalso give to the world.

(25:25):
I didn't learn to walk to helppeople, help my friends.
I just wanted to be like them.
I want to be able to get aroundfrom place a to place b.
That's all.
But when you accomplish thosegoals, then you think about
something bigger.
You know it's like what, what,what else can I do with my

(25:48):
walking legs?
How can I contribute?
How can I make a difference inother people's life?
Contribute?
How can I make a difference inother people's?

Jennifer Loehding (25:57):
life.
Yeah, that's a good story.
Wow, well, and it's.
You know, it's so interestingabout your story is so in one of
the um, the coaching programsthat I'm certified, we use the
example of a baby walking, likehow when babies fall down, they
get right back up and they don'treally make excuses, they just
get right back up and startwalking.
And how we like you kind ofportrayed very vividly and

(26:20):
expressively we make, we startto have fear and start to doubt
ourselves, and so we just pauseand we don't move.
And so you literally had tolearn to walk.
You basically had to learn todo that, and I think there's so
much about this I mean you'retalking about, in the beginning,
this whole abandonment thingand how that creeped in and
really blocked you from seeingyour potential.

(26:41):
But then you had this momentwhere you realize you know now I
can do something different formyself and I have the power to
do that.
And people believed in me andwhen they believed in me, it
gave me the courage and thestrength to actually do
something.
So there's so many greatmessages in this and then giving
it back when now you conqueredsomething, and it gives you the

(27:04):
ability now to share that storyand help other people with your
new gift, and you know what Imean.
There's so many great things inthat story, so I love it.
And you know what I mean.
There's so many, so many greatthings in that story, so I love
it.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (27:16):
You know , and yeah, and I just think
that if I wasn't a mother, Iwould not realize all the things
that I realize now.
Like you pointed out a fewthings was that you know?
It clicked into my mind.
So it's interesting.
Life teaches us so many lessons, you know, no matter what age,
only if your mind is open tolisten, because if you're going

(27:38):
to have a closed mind, they willnot hear a thing, they will not
hear us all, right.
But when you are willing tolisten and you're willing to tap
into, it's like you know what.
There are so many lessons thatI want to learn, that I can
learn to benefit me and benefitthose around me and to the world
.
You know, and so, buteverything that you learn, you

(28:00):
have to have to do it yourselffirst.
You have to get the results.
You have to enjoy the resultsfrom what you're going through
to be able to share that withothers.
Right, and so when I was amother I have four kids and,
like you just talked about, askids were learning to crawl I
remember putting the toys infront of the kids and you know,

(28:21):
my babes, when they're learningto crawl at age three months or
something, it goes oh good, andwe clap, and then we put our
toys a little bit further sothey could reach.
You know it's like, okay, youcame this far, let's see if you
could go for a toy a little bitfurther.
And so they crawl and they lookfor that.
I have missed all thoseprocesses.
I have never gotten thosethings as an abandoned child, as

(28:43):
an orphan, and so, again as amother, I realized like, aha, I
was missing all these things.
And when I was learning to walk, like you said, when my kids
were learning to walk and theyhang on to things and they fall
down, and then we help them andsay, come on, you can do it,
take another step, come on, comeon, come on.

(29:05):
You know we increase them,right, right.
And as a child, all thosethings were never been through.
I was ignored.
Yeah, you know.
In fact, when I came to America, when I went to my doctorate,
family took me to many differentspecialists and trying to
figure out why I did not learnto walk.
When human being as a child isbeing neglected, not being

(29:29):
attention to pay attention to orbeing held loved.
None of those were there for me.

Jennifer Loehding (29:36):
So how am I supposed to get that early
bonding and stuff?

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (29:39):
Yeah you didn't get anything mentally,
physically any, you know,bonding or love, caring, right.
And so I have learned likeevery time I became a mother,
it's like wow, wow, wow, it'slike okay, okay, okay.
And so, instead of feelingsorry for myself, I thought I am

(30:02):
so glad that I'm a motherbecause I learned things that
nobody explained to me, thatwhat I've been through, but what
I was missing, right, right,it's interesting.
Life is just so interesting.

Jennifer Loehding (30:09):
It is, it is.
And I tell you, if we talkabout the topic of motherhood,
I'm like man, there is no manualin life that could tell you how
to be a mother right, or whatyou're going to go through.
Because I tell you, I learnedmy kids are all adults now and I
learn every day.
And it's so funny because Iremember them being little
humans and thinking man,toddlers are just hard because

(30:30):
they're mouthy and they'restubborn.
And then then we got to likeyoung adult, you know, like the
18 and up mark, and I'm like, ohmy gosh, it's like that all
over again.
But now they're legal age, andnow they can let you know
they're legal age.
And so now you got that goingon and then threatening that
they can take care of themselves.
But they really can't take careof themselves, you know.

(30:52):
So I'm like there is no manualthat tells you any of this stuff
.
And you're right, I think thewisdom comes in just the doing.
You know, and you saidsomething earlier I wanted to
come back to because, funnyenough, I'm going through a
previous episode that I had lastweek with a doctor she's a
former doctor that now is kindof gone into maybe a little bit

(31:12):
more of what you're doing, morementorship or more giving back
that kind of thing, and we weretalking about a lot about the
difference between, likesatisfaction and success.
But one of the things I broughtup was narrow minded people.
We were talking about beingcurious, right, like how you
need to be curious in life inorder to find the things you
need to find and to learn, andall that, and I said there's

(31:34):
nothing more, like I don't knowwhat I exactly said, but really
in my mind, there's nothing morethat's a turnoff.
Dealing with somebody.
It's a narrow minded person, aperson that says this is the way
it is, it's the way it's alwaysbeen, and we're just stuck in
this, right, like she was reallyemphasizing this whole thing
about we need to be curious.
And so I think to your point,yes, that's exactly why you've

(31:55):
been able to do the thingsyou've been able to do, because
you led with curiosity and in amindset I'm willing to learn,
I'm willing to be better, I'mwilling to improve, do things
differently, right, and I feellike that's sort of kind of the
way I live my life too.
I'm not going to lie, there'snot time.
Sometimes I get stuck in mymoment, in a pattern, I'm like,
no, we're not doing that.
But I always try to be of themindset that if there's a better

(32:19):
way of doing something, or if Ican improve and be better, show
up differently, learn more,then I'm going to choose to try
to do that.
So the lessons are there ifyou're curious and open.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (32:32):
There's so many like valuable lessons
that we could learn each day too, you know.
But it's just amazing.
And I and so, going back towhere, so you know, I was
adopted by American family atage 14.
And then, as a teenager youknow, like I said, I'm talking
about my teenage kids.

(32:53):
It's like they got to be ateenager, you know.
They got to go out with friends, go to the movies and, you know
, hang out.
My teenage life was like okay,I have to learn new language, I
have to learn to trust peopleall over again and I have to
learn to be a part of the familywhere which I was not part of

(33:17):
for first dynamics.
Yeah, yeah, I need to learn thatRight.
And besides, like, I have tolearn the whole new culture,
like how to eat different foodsthat I have never seen or tasted
, or, like you know, likedifferent food and rice, and
then I have to wear a clothesthat wear, clothes that I'm not

(33:38):
feeling comfortable wearing.
It's like.
So there's that moment of likebeing 14.
But at the same time I wasscared because I thought I have
to prove to these people thatadopted me that it's worth their
time and their money to adoptme.
Otherwise I'm going to be a bigfailure and they're going to be

(34:01):
disappointed.
And to the point where Ithought they were going to send
me back to Korea, because theyadopted me as a special needs
child because I was born with ahair lip.
I could not walk, but by then Idid walk, but my legs were
really crooked, so they had tospend all kinds of money on
surgeries, fixing my lips up, mylegs up and everything.

(34:23):
So they adopted me, knowingthat I had all these problems,
you know.
But so here they are giving mean opportunity.
But so here they are giving mean opportunity, and I just
wanted to make sure thatnobody's disappointed, that I'm
not a failure to anybody.

(34:43):
You know, when somebody givesyou an opportunity for a new
life, like I, have to admit that.
But it was hard work.
It wasn't easy.
It was hard work, but somethingthat made me realize when they
adopted me, when they brought meto Utah.
They picked me up from theirprivate plane from San Francisco
.
They came to Utah and the firstday they let me sleep.

(35:07):
Obviously the hours aredifferent night and day, so
everybody was asleep and I wasright awake, and then I was
bored because everybody wasasleep.
And then everybody was awakeand I was asleep and I was right
awake.
And then I was bored becauseeverybody was asleep.
And then everybody was awakeand I was asleep, and they would
be hot around my bed andwaiting for me to wake up
because it was just the summerjust began.
I came on May 27.
And so kids just got into asummer and they were just

(35:30):
waiting for me to wake up and Iwould just sleep all day.
But the day that I woke up, allday and the very next day, they
knew that I had nothing.
I didn't bring anything otherthan just a few pictures from my
orphanage, my friends, picturesof my friends from orphanage.
That's all I have and theclothes that I wore.
They send the money toorphanage for them to buy it, so

(35:51):
that I wore something decent,for them to buy it, so that I
wore something decent.
But they showered me with yourbasic necessity, like underwear,
bra, shoes and purse, and Imean, like you name it, like
clothes and dress.
And I was just like I cannotbelieve this, like this is
enough for the rest of my life.

(36:11):
I don't need anything anymore.
This is just unreal.
Like not only they gave me afamily, like they adopted me,
they gave me, they showered mewith all these things that is
going to last me for the rest ofmy life.
I just could not believe it.
So the moment when I wasshowered with those gifts to
them, it was just basicnecessity for just a human being

(36:33):
to have.
But for me it was just likeunbelievable.
Like just to have one pair ofshoes, enough.
Just one pair of underwear isenough for me, one bra is enough
, but having more than one pairof socks, more than one pair of
shoes, one tennis shoes, oneschool shoes, one for church,
three pair of shoes, oh my gosh.

(36:53):
You know, I was just so excited, I was just like my jaw just
dropped.
I didn't know what to do.
I just broke down with tearsbecause I just thought I cannot
believe that someone wanted meand took me in their arms, took
me into their family and theyshowered me with all these gifts

(37:14):
that I could just I have tohave.
It was just amazing.
So I just feel like every hour,every minute, I have to prove
to them that I am really worththe money that they spend on me
to get me here to United States.
I was worth their time for themto buy me all the things that

(37:36):
they bought me based necessitydays.
I was just so grateful.
So here I am, just so I didexactly what they told me to do
Study hard, get a good paint job.
And you know.
So I did exactly what they toldme to do study hard, get a good
paying job.
So I did that.
So I landed myself a dream jobas a certified medical assistant

(37:57):
, working for doctors,side-by-side with them, working
with the patients, for 33 years,and my parents were proud.
I was really happy.
I was just so happy becauseanybody could get a job in
America if you really, you know,willing to.
But to land in a dream job.
That's because you know Iwanted to do something that I

(38:21):
feel really happy doing and Ididn't care about the money at
the time, I just wanted to be.
You know they says job.
You know like money doesn'tmake you happiness or buy you
happiness and it's moreimportant to have a you know,
happy job versus making money.
And I was stuck in that mindsetLike sure I love it.
I was so excited to go to bedthe night before, just so

(38:45):
excited to get up in the morning, just to go to work.
I was just that excited.
Every single day it was justlike a Christmas every day in
America, christmas in America,because I got to taste of that.
But then I thought to myselflike wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait.
I made my dream job.
I love what I was doing, but whyam I struggling, living

(39:07):
paycheck to paycheck, likesomething's wrong with this
picture?
Yes, yes, and not only that,but I was having to work on my
days off.
I worked four 10-hour days andthen my only day off I was
picking.
I was doing side jobs.
I was cleaning houses.
There were some years where Iwas doing catering business and

(39:28):
there's some years I soldvacuums at night.
It's like why am I doing allthese extra jobs on my days off,
on the weekends, at my dreamjob?
Because I was not making mydream income.
It clicked and I thought I don'tcare, no matter how much I love
my job.
But and I thought I don't care,no matter how much I love my
job, but I've got to make enoughmoney to make ends meet.
Not living paycheck to paycheck, not struggling to pay bills.

(39:52):
So again, the things that Ihave done as a younger age, like
I want that.
I see somebody doing that.
I see somebody's walking.
I see somebody saying why notme?
So I took on exactly the samescenario.
Approach, approach and saythere's people out there making

(40:12):
money, they're working at theirdream job and they're making
their dream income.
Why not me?
Yes, it was like the biggestturn on in my mind is like
nobody in my family.
I mean everybody was happy.
My kids were happy because theyknew that I was good at what I
was doing and they don't knowall the struggles that I went
through.
I mean there's times where Iwould get a notice on my door.

(40:36):
I mean I was married for 14years with my first husband and
then I divorced him and then Iwas a single mother raising kids
for 14 years on my own.
There's times where I would geta notice on my door.
And then, you know, I was asingle mother raising kids for
14 years on my own.
There's times where I would geta notice on my door and say you
know what?
You're just going to get turnedup within 24 hours.
I would hide that before kidsgot home.

(40:57):
I didn't want my kids to see,right, you know, and a lot of
things that we go throughbecause you know we don't want
to worry kids.
Right, when they saw that theywould worry, it's like mom, that
are we go through because youknow we don't want to worry kids
.
Right when they saw that theywould worry, it's like mom, what
are we going to do?
It was just my right worry, Iwant to take on.
But so I thought I'm gonna haveto do something different and I

(41:18):
thought, if I'm gonna stay at mydream job that I love so much,
I won't be able to retire untilthey kick me out.
I'm so old and I startshrinking and I can't perform my
job.
They're going to force me toretire.
I don't want to be that placeand I was staying at that job

(41:39):
because I loved it, but thenalso feeling guilt because
everybody was happy.
I was making everybody happy,you were taking care of yourself
.
Feeling guilt because everybodywas happy, I was making
everybody happy, I was making mydoctor, you were taking care of
yourself, yeah, my patientshappy and my parents were happy
because they knew that I, howmuch I love my job, and they
thought that I have made rightand don't get me wrong.
I was grateful for you know, thejob that I got you know through

(42:00):
educations and went to you know, going to school as a certified
medical assistant andeverything.
It wasn't easy either, but atthe end it was my dream job and
so I thought, nope, I'm going tohave to retire.
I have no choice.
I have to retire.
And so I start getting myself,you know, going to seminars for
real estate investors, financialinvestors, and I got myself

(42:22):
trying to put it on myselfbefore I actually retired, just
like getting on your job.
And you have to, you know, makesure that you have a new job
lined up before you quit yourold job.
So say, when you're ready toretire, you have to prepare
yourself something to keepyourself busy, keep yourself
motivated, keep yourself, youknow, so you don't turn into a

(42:42):
couch potatoes or be sluggishwith your life and things like
that.
And so that's what I wasinterested in.
So I decided to take on a newhobby and happened to be this
option trading, that I was soafraid because I thought, what
is option trading?
You know, and you know, whenyou learn, when you become a
real estate investor, you'regoing to make so much money.

(43:03):
There's so many people make alot of money with doing real
estate and you need to learn tomake, to invest and make your
money work for you.
And the strategies that we haveis option trading.
And I said, well, I never heardabout it, but what is it?
Tell me about it.
They says, well, it's going tocost this much money.
And I said, okay, I don't havemoney.
And then they said you're goingto have to learn about this

(43:24):
computer.
You have to do all this withcomputer.
And I was like, okay, count meout.
Not only I don't have any money, but the computer, no, right.
And I said, no, thank you.
So I just basically shut my youknow vision out and said, no
thanks, I don't want it.
So then I just kind of you,start doing whatever I need to

(43:45):
do, and I retired in 2015,exactly one year from the time
that I was talking to my doctor.

Jennifer Loehding (43:52):
And you started.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (43:53):
Wow, I started, I said I was having a
conversation I have to let myco-workers know that when I was
going to retire.
So I told my doctor.
I said I'm going to retire.
He says when?
This was in 2014.
And he says, when I said, oh,within a year or two.
He says do you have any money?
And I said no and he says, youknow, because we were like two
weeks apart in age, so we'repretty close in age, wise, and

(44:15):
so we could talk about life, youknow.
He says, oh, I cannot retire.
You know, things are going tobe so expensive.
We have to have at least amillion or more.
And I only had $10 into mychecking account.
I didn't have any money in mysavings because, again, I was

(44:37):
struggling.
Yeah, and I did have my 401k,my pension plan, but I could not
touch it when I retire becauseI was planning on retiring much
earlier than the age required.
And so I just took a bold action, basically, and says I'm going
to retire within a year.
I did not give myself an excuseand say I don't have any money,

(44:58):
blah, blah, blah.
But when I was looking intowhat I was going to do, the
things that they told me and thethings that is going to cost me
money, and I thought, okay, Idon't have any of those things,
I don't want to.
I'm too scared to learn aboutthis new skill about computer.
No, thank you.
And so I just went on with, youknow, focused on being a real

(45:19):
estate investors and became areal estate ambassador for a
real estate company and I wouldgive like a speaking engagement
to a front of people for thecompany and I would get paid
like three hundred dollars forspeaking for 10 minutes and I
thought, oh, I like this, I likewhat you know I could do, yeah,
you know, but that was just mypart-time job.

(45:41):
But then I was also looking atproperties and investing into
properties and things and Iwould go to like a what is it?
Auctions and things.
But then also it took me awayfrom home and so I thought, wait
a minute.
I retired to stay home and nowthis is taking me away from home
and they wanted to starttraveling to different states to
give speeches and things likethat, being an ambassador.

(46:03):
So then I said, no, I don'twant to.
So that's the thing when we wantto do something, we set a goal
and said we want to do this, andthen while you're journeying
that your new journey, if itdoes not align with your mission
or your goal, then you canchange your mind.

(46:24):
You're not being a failure.
That's one thing that I had tolearn too.
It's like, man, I told peoplethat I was going to do this.
I was going to tell myself Iwas going to do this, but it
doesn't align with my goal, whatI wanted to do.
So then you have to quicklyrethink and say, no, that's not
failure, you change your mind.
We could change your mindanytime.

(46:44):
We don't have to explain toother people why we're changing
our mind either Right, right,right, especially when it does
not involve other people.
It only involves you, right?
So when you're in arelationship, in a marriage and
things like that, yeah, you haveto tell them whatever.
But when you're doing your ownbusiness or whatever, it's on
your own.
You don't have to explain toanybody's working under you,

(47:05):
right?
yeah, no, I agree, I agree yeah,what I have really learned was
this is like I didn't have toexplain, it's not a failure if I
change my mind.
If I change my mind, that's.
The biggest thing that I reallytook away as an entrepreneur was
that I've done so manydifferent things and I could say
to myself like, oh man, I fail,it's like so.
For example, like, um, I've beenwanting working with the

(47:29):
internal medicine doctor for thelast 20 years of my life, you
know, because I was working withthe elderly people and every
day they come in and I wouldengage with them and I would
want to say, if I retire, if Iever retire, I want to have a
adult daycare to serve patientswith the restorative therapy, so
that seniors could gain theirmemory and their physical

(47:52):
muscles back, so that they couldlive normal life, and so when
they want to be able to go outwith their families, they could
go out not having to say, no,you cannot walk, I cannot go,
because I can't get in and outof the car and too hard for me
to put jacket on and all that.
So I was going to solve theirissues and so what happened was
after I retired actually, youknow, doing an option trading

(48:15):
and that became how I made likea million dollars.
You know, became a seven figureoption trader.

Jennifer Loehding (48:21):
Yeah.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (48:21):
But I was able to create a daycare and
I okay, my husband and I weopened it for nine months and
then the COVID hit, oh yes, andthen we had to shut it down.
So let's kind of think aboutthis step by step.
If I would have known, justlike all of us, whatever we want
to do something, if we have awhat is it?

(48:44):
A ball crystal, whatever wecould see what's going to happen
in front of us in the future,we could decide and say, oh, I
don't want to do that, no matterhow much I want to do it, but I
don't want to do it, right.

Jennifer Loehding (48:54):
We don't have that.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (48:56):
My phone doesn't give us that does it.
Yeah, you're going to open yourpassion, your passion of all
daycare, to help seniors withthis restorative therapy.
But guess what?
There's going to be a worldwide, you know, a pandemic.
It's going to happen.
You have to shut it down.
Are you still willing to pay$200,000 to, you know, buy the
building and remodel and thenstill wanting to open?

(49:17):
I would say, heck, no, I worktoo hard for my money.
I don't want to waste my dime.
Right, right, but we don't knowright.
And now, unfortunately, helpingseniors, you know helping, you
know, people from wheelchair tolearn to walk with the holding
on to, you know, the, thewalkers and things.
We made a huge difference inseniors and things like that.
For a short time that we wereopen and the pandemic and it

(49:41):
closed and again my life justwent, oh, not again.

Jennifer Loehding (49:47):
Here I am, yes, another pivot.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (49:52):
Again, when we're journeying what we
want to do, there's a lot ofthings can happen to you by your
decision, by your otherpeople's decisions.
With the worldwide pandemics,there's so many things that
happen to all of us.
The people make decisions Likewe're little, like my dad made a
decision, my sister made adecision.
I don't want them to make adecision, but I have no problem,

(50:13):
don't do that Right, and wemake a decision.
You know, and it affects us.
But the best part of the wholething is is like you know what.
You have to be grateful for thejourneys that you have, journey
that, the opportunities thatyou got to have right, yeah,

(50:34):
enjoy it.
You have to have that gratitude.
Every things that we think thatis a failure because you know
public eyes.
It was hard for me to put themon google and say you, you know
what?
Our business is closed now,right, right, the whole world is
searched.
You know adult daycare,intermountain Health Daycare.
You know adult daycare.
You know those things, and soit's really interesting.

(50:58):
It's been fascinating.
So now what I do is all thethings that I have learned.
Every time I go through thingsand then it has not worked out
due to failures and things likethat.
I put that into my gold baglearning lessons and say I'm
using this as a tool.
You know it's like this is ushaving a stronger person,

(51:18):
stronger entrepreneur, astronger mentor and a stronger
coach for me to teach others,because I literally learned the
biggest gold nugget lessons thatI didn't even expect.
But the reason that I learnedbecause I was willing.
I have open vision, open mind,open ears, open heart.

(51:38):
But bring it on, I have a lot.

Jennifer Loehding (51:42):
Yeah, I didn't even have anything to ask
you because you said it all.
It was so good, like that's whyI didn't like this episode.
You know it's so funny everynow and then.
I love all the episodes, butevery now and then I get one
where I just let the person justhave it because it's like your
story is so good that there'snot really anything for me.
Some of us are chosen in life tobe messengers and I've had

(52:08):
people say, like light seekers,whatever you want to call them.
I think some of us are chosenin life to have experiences and
you know, when I'm listening toyou, our journeys are completely
different.
I never like to diminishanyone's story, but I hear
parallels when I hear peopletalk about overcoming things.
And there have been times, youknow, like when I've gone

(52:31):
through my life and I've, youknow I've been diagnosed with
two rare diseases that are justvery like you go into the
doctors and they don't a lot ofthem do not know what they are.
I've had to school emergencypeople about these disorders.
But I say all this to say isthat in the course of my life
I've had a lot of differentthings.
That if you were to look at allof these things, you would go

(52:52):
oh my gosh.
It's like a lot of things thatI've had to deal with, you know,
over time.
But I truly believe two thingsOne, that I put myself in those
positions to learn and that I'vebeen curious enough to find the
message in those things so thatI could take away something.
And so that's why I say likewhen I work with entrepreneurs

(53:13):
on different scopes, it's like Ican talk and speak into these
different things, because I'vehad to navigate to chronic
conditions, I've been in anabusive relationship, I've been
through, I've ran a business for20 something years, I've walked
in these shoes, and so do Ihave all the answers?
No, but I feel like we've beengiven, we've been chosen to, to

(53:33):
have these experiences so thatwe can lend, lean into somebody
else and share those with people, so they can learn from them.
You know and I joke about itall the time, cause I always
think like I'm, like hopefullynobody ever has to do all of
them, like has to go through allof those things, like maybe I
can help them shave off some ofthat.
But you know, like you in thetime, that when these bad things

(53:56):
happen, we can sit in them andthink, gosh, they're really bad.
But when we go forward and lookback, we have a different
feeling about them because we goyeah, that was hard.
But man, look at what I learnedin that moment.
Look what came in the aftermathof that awful experience.
You've had so many hard thingsand I'm like wow, you taught

(54:17):
yourself to walk, taughtyourself how to speak English,
you embraced a new culture at ayoung age, learned how to adapt
and learn how to go from a33-year career into a different
space, because you realize, hey,look, I got a cool job, but I
ain't necessarily fulfilled.
There's got to be more lifethan this.
I just think this all stemsback to your resilience, your

(54:39):
grit, your curiosity and yourunrelenting, your willingness to
just keep going forward anddoing better.
So I commend you, lady, awesome.

Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini (54:50):
Thank you.
Well, you know, I think thatthe podcast space that you have
created for the world, forpeople, the listeners, you know,
and you know, just, I can't sayenough gratefulness of the
gratitude that you, you know,pour out to people, because I
think, as your audience listens,with your own stories, right,

(55:16):
and the people that you bring onas a guest too, it's like we
want to.
Really, it's not our story,it's like the story of like for
me, it's like the creator, likefor me, it's like the creator,
right, but we happen to be in it, you know, right, and we all
have a different journey, but ina way we're all similar.
But, like I wouldn't, there'stimes where I would say I would

(55:37):
give anything, not having to gothrough what I've been through,
I would trade with you, but, youknow, but but those moments,
those journeys, those hardships,those unthinkable thoughts and
the experience that we gothrough, that's what shapes us,
that's what makes you unique andthat's what makes me unique and

(55:58):
that's what makes yourlisteners unique individually.
Yeah, you know, there's onlyone you.
There's only one me.
There's nobody, just like.
So, very, very, I mean likethere's only just one person,
like we may find somebody like,look like us, even from same

(56:19):
country, same agency, but thejourney is just so different.
That's what makes us so uniqueand just just we just need to
really embrace like who we areand just really be like grateful
that opportunities that we havegotten.
And that's another thing.
Like we have to put ourselveswhere there's an opportunity,
because nobody's gonna come.
Nobody knocked at my door I'msure is to you and for your

(56:42):
listeners so nobody's gonna comeand knocking at your door and
say, knock, knock.
Sun Young, guess what?
I understand?
I heard that you had a horriblelife as a child and I think
that it's about time that youdeserve.
And so here it is Nobody doesNot going to happen.
No, we have to go where there'san opportunity.

(57:03):
But then also there's so manyopportunities that we could take
right.
But then what are we going todo about it?
We listen to motivational.
There's times where I'velistened to motivational
speakers right Through differentplaces that I've been to, and
then I'm so excited, I'm psychedup.
I'm going to be a differentperson.

(57:23):
Yeah, I'm going to do it.
I get home, I'm going to be adifferent person.
They're like yeah, I'm going todo it, I get home.
I walked into the door and guesswhat that wife happens.
Same house, same rules, sameeverything.
Nothing has changed, even me.
You got to take that step.
The only thing that's going tochange is I have to change.
I have to take actions now, nottomorrow or next week or next

(57:48):
month or next year, becausesometimes the next year that we
talked about that is 20, 30years later, or some people have
never taken the action.
They spoke about it 50 yearsago, someday, someday.

Jennifer Loehding (58:04):
