<p>What if your most valuable asset isn’t your title, your resume, or even your income… but your relationships?</p><p>In this episode, Bunny connects with Jordan Hoffner, C-Suit level executive, to talk about all things networking, leadership, mental health in the workplace, and what happens after 50 when the traditional career path stops feeling secure.</p><p>Jordan brings decades of C-suite experience to a conversation that feels surprisingly personal. They talk about why transactional networking fails, why your network and your net worth are deeply connected, and how real opportunity rarely comes from cold job applications.</p><p>The conversation moves into psychological safety at work, empathy in leadership, and why mental health can’t just be a corporate training checkbox.</p><p>They also explore the financial and identity crisis many professionals face over 50. If we live to 85 but stop working at 65, what then? Jordan reframes this stage as becoming the CEO of your own life portfolio.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:00 Yes, and!
