From $3M at 19 to Scaling Global Brands | Young Han on Failing Forward

In this powerful episode of Millionaire By Morning, host Rashad Thirlkill sits down with entrepreneur, fractional COO/CFO, and business strategist Young Han.

Young has helped shape growth strategies for global brands like Starbucks, Apple, and Philz Coffee, but his entrepreneurial journey started much earlier. At just 19 years old, he co-founded a Korean restaurant that generated over $3 million in its first year, giving him an early crash course in the realities of startup success, leadership, and failure.

Throughout his career, Young has embraced the philosophy of “failing forward”—using every setback as a blueprint for stronger systems, better leadership, and scalable businesses. Today, he helps companies build bulletproof operational frameworks that push ventures beyond the million-dollar revenue mark.

But what truly sets Young apart is his philosophy of work-life integration. Instead of chasing the elusive concept of balance, he integrates self-care, family, and leadership into his daily routine—allowing him to succeed as a father, founder, and executive without burnout.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Young built a $3M business at 19

• The “Fail Forward” mindset that successful entrepreneurs use

• The operational systems behind million-dollar companies

• Lessons from working with brands like Starbucks and Apple

• Why work-life integration beats work-life balance

• Strategies for building businesses without burning out

If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or future millionaire, this conversation will change the way you think about success, leadership, and sustainability in business.
