About this listen

What if money isn’t just something you manage, but a game you were never taught to win? Fun Money is the podcast for ambitious women who want more than just business success. Whether you’ve built a profitable company and feel secretly boxed in… or you’re wildly creative but still under-earning… this is where we stop playing by outdated rules and start building wealth that makes you even more of who you are. Hosted by Jessica McKinley Uyeno, Fun Money is your playbook for full-spectrum wealth: six distinct games - earning, spending, saving, investing, having, and giving - that aren’t about perfection, but flow. It’s about shifting from possibility to inevitability, learning to get a dopamine hit from saving as much as spending, and letting your business fund the bold, interesting life you’re meant to lead. Each week, Jess blends strategy with self-expression to help you unlearn tired money thinking, embrace “unhinged” beliefs, and become the Monopoly banker of your own life. Trigger warning: This is a next-level money conversation, taking you to a place that might feel uncomfortable. Expect powerful solo riffs, practical frameworks, and unfiltered conversations with the most interesting women in business… because the most lucrative path is usually the one that breaks the rules.© SINCERELY, FUTURE YOU | 2025 Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • 24. Owner of 17 Franchises, Mom of 3 & Multimillionaire Kimberlie Jacobsen on Having the Stomach for the Game
    Jan 1 2026

    Ever wonder how some women seem to "have it all" - successful businesses, happy families, and actual time to enjoy both?

    My aunt Kimberlie Jacobsen owns 17 Great Clips salons, runs a 250-client CPA practice, and raised three boys. Her net worth? $7-8 million. But here's what surprised me most when I interviewed her for this week's episode: She picked her kids up from school every single day.

    Join me this week to discover why most people don’t have the stomach for the game that is entrepreneurship, and my aunt Kim’s journey of crushing it in business for decades. You’ll hear how to handle the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship, why communication about money is more important than the dollar amount, and how to create a life where you can do anything you want without looking at the bill.

  • 23. Why Being Generous Pays Off: 11 Ways to Give More
    Dec 25 2025

    Generosity isn’t something you unlock once you’ve “made it.” You don’t suddenly wake up one day with a seven-figure business, a halo, and a giant novelty check. You become generous now, from exactly where you’re standing, because generosity is a character quality - not a financial milestone.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why giving from where you’re at actually fuels the receiving side of your business faster than any hustle ever will.

    Join me this week as I walk you through 11 ways to be generous as a business owner, even if you're just getting started. From the generosity of honesty, to accessibility, to simply receiving a compliment without deflecting like you’re dodging bullets, you’ll hear why generosity has nothing to do with your revenue level and everything to do with your identity. Most importantly, you’ll see how viewing yourself as a generous person makes your brain endlessly creative about ways to give, no matter what season your business is in.
