Manage episode 515142204 series 3472775
Success that sparkles on paper can feel empty in real life, and that tension is exactly where our conversation with AJ Bishop Andrews begins. AJ is an internationally recognized speaker and wealth strategist who spent 20 years at major financial institutions, then chose legacy over ladder. She brings a candid origin story, a practical playbook for confidence, and a bold vision for how women will shape the next decade of wealth, power, and impact.
We dig into the messy middle of career pivots, from golden handcuffs to bolt cutters: detaching identity from income, replacing comparison with conviction, and learning to define success by alignment with values like family, faith, and service. AJ shares how confidence is built through daily promises kept and sharpened by reflection, try, fail, learn, adjust. We also get tactical about money and work: how to rewrite limiting money scripts with a “money mind map,” how to negotiate using facts and outcomes (not your worth), and how to design a portfolio career that leverages your three Ts, time, talent, and treasure, so you’re never dependent on one gatekeeper.
There’s a bigger horizon here too. With a historic wealth transfer moving toward women, AJ’s Feroz movement aims to equip one million women to make values‑led financial decisions. We talk collaboration over competition, healing old wounds from scarcity rooms, and building circles that amplify genius instead of draining it. AJ also opens up about her mother’s dementia diagnosis and the urgency it brought to creating a legacy her mom can witness, a powerful reminder that time is our rarest asset, and alignment is how we honor it.
