Episode Details

In this inspiring episode of The Affluent CEO Show, Yuliana sits down with Cat Harding, co-founder of PonyUp for Good—a purpose-driven social enterprise that’s transformed over one million pieces of end-of-life technology into meals for people in need. 

Cat opens up about her 20+ year corporate career, the identity crisis that led her to leave a high-paying job with nothing lined up, and the pivotal moment that birthed her mission-led company. From battling imposter syndrome to navigating a late ADHD diagnosis, Cat’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and choosing meaning over status. 

Together, we dive into: 

• 💻 How PonyUp for Good partners with corporates to reduce landfill and feed communities
• 🚨 The real definition of failure—and how staying “safe” kept Cat stuck
• 🧠 Embracing neurodiversity and rewiring outdated beliefs around productivity
• 💚 How defining your own version of success can change everything
• 🌱 What it means to build a head and heart business model
• 🌍 The environmental impact of tech waste—and how circular economy models can change the world

Whether you’re standing at a career crossroads or craving deeper alignment in your business, Cat’s story is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to take the leap—and build a legacy that feeds both the planet and the soul.
