Women's Million Dollar Conversations

Alice Tang

Think becoming a millionaire is reserved for the Forbes 400 or the lucky few? Think again.

But Alice Tang discovered that the biggest barrier isn't just access; it's visibility. We can't become what we can't see. Women's Million Dollar Conversations is here to change the narrative. We're moving past the "limelight" elite to shine a light on the millionaires next door: the entrepreneurs, the diligent savers, and the community pillars who have quietly built extraordinary wealth. Join host Alice Tang as she sits down with powerhouse women who have earned, saved, or sold their way to the million-dollar mark. In each episode, we strip away the mystery to reveal: • The Mindset: How to break through the beliefs holding you back. • The Strategy: Real-world tips on building, keeping, and growing your wealth. • The Journey: Honest stories of resilience, roadblocks, and triumphs. When women succeed, communities thrive. Whether you are just starting your career or are well on your way, it's time to expand your vision and claim your seat at the table. Ready to redefine what's possible? Let's start the conversation.

    Normalize Failure with Melissa Angeli

    In our latest episode of Women's Million Dollar Conversation, Alice Tang sits down with the brilliant Melissa Angeli, founder of Undaunted Future. Melissa shares how she built her first million by playing the long game, delaying gratification, and learning to view "failing" as just part of the learning curve. "When we learn to walk, we fall down and pick ourselves up. No one thinks of that as a failure. The same thing can be said about doing business." — Melissa Angeli Key Takeaways from this Episode: Pay Yourself First: Wealth building isn't about watching the clock; it's about consistency, living below your means, and prioritizing your long-term goals over instant gratification. Work at the 'Top of Your License': To scale your business, stop trying to do everything. Surround yourself with experts who round out your weaknesses so you can focus on your unique genius. Normalize Failure: Build a circle of cheerleaders who lift you up. Your identity doesn't change just because a project didn't go right the first time. Live Your Legacy Now: Why wait? Impact the world and use your resources to make a difference today, not just after you're gone.
