How Teri Yu Built and Sold Her Startup

How Teri Yu Built and Sold Her Startup

What does it take to turn your passion into a thriving business? In this week’s episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we sit down with Teri Yu — a repeat founder, former viral YouTube creator, and now Director of Product Management at Kajabi — to unpack the truth behind building a successful online brand and startup.

Teri’s journey is both inspiring and actionable. She raised over $2.5M, built an engaged online community, and sold her company Vibely to Kajabi — all by leaning into her experience as a creator and staying laser-focused on product-market fit.

During our soulful chat, Teri reveals how to recognize if your idea is good enough to quit your job for, why now is still the perfect time to start a business, and how to stay resilient in the face of burnout. She also breaks down the blueprint for launching thriving communities — spaces where creators can connect, grow, and monetize authentically.

One standout insight? “Manifestation is not enough — execution, strategy, and consistency are what move the needle.” Teri’s grounded perspective cuts through the noise and offers real tools for dreamers and doers alike.

Whether you’re a creative professional, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone navigating your next big move, this episode delivers the motivation and clarity you need to move forward.

Listen now and start building your path to sustainable success.
