    Power, Partnership, and the Price of Ambiguity: How Business Breakups Kill Wealth | Alexis Johnson, Business Attorney

    Most business breakups don’t happen because of a lack of talent or effort. They happen because of a lack of clarity. Unclear power. Undefined roles. Conversations that never happen—until it’s too late. In this episode of The Inner Capital, I sit down with Alexis Johnson, founder and owner of AFJ Law Group and the force behind Founders Reserve Detroit, to unpack the real cost of ambiguity in business partnerships—and how it quietly destroys wealth. We explore why the most successful founders don’t rely on trust alone, how power dynamics show up long before conflict does, and what every entrepreneur needs to put in writing before building with a partner. We also dive into one of the most emotionally charged topics founders face: mixing romantic relationships with business—and how to protect both. Whether you’re forming a partnership, already in one, or rebuilding after a breakup, this conversation is about protecting your time, equity, and long-term wealth. What We Cover in This Episode Alexis’s founder journey and what led her to start AFJ Law Group (0-10 mins)Why most partnerships fail even when both people are capable and well-intentioned What you need in place before starting a business with a partnerThe most common (and costly) things founders leave undefined in partnership agreementsHow power dynamics quietly erode trust, decision-making, and wealth Best practices for sharing control and setting boundaries early The risks—and realities—of mixing romantic relationships with business How to protect both the business and the relationship when love and equity overlapKey Takeaway  Clarity isn’t just legal protection—it’s wealth protection. The earlier you define roles, power, and expectations, the less expensive those conversations become.

    Your Money Stories, Capacity, and the Income Adjustment Phase No One Talks About

And the more I learn about money, the clearer it becomes: People don’t always struggle with money itself… they struggle with the nervous system patterns and money stories that shape their money capacity.  In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the core inner patterns that influence your financial behavior — especially during income changes. Here’s what we cover: How your early money stories shape your subconscious money mindsetWhy your body follows old safety patterns even when you “know better”What financial dysregulation looks like (hoarding, avoidance, overworking, impulse spending, guilt when income rises)How your nervous system sets your true financial capacityWhy income changes — up or down — trigger anxiety, pressure, urgency, or scarcityHow to navigate the income adjustment phase without sabotagingPractical tools to feel safer with money and expand your capacityThis episode is for anyone navigating income changes, wanting to understand their money patterns, and working to expand their financial capacity from the inside out. 🎧 Listen now to The Inner Capital on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

    3 Things I Learned About Wealth in a Room Full of Millionaires

    Last week I was in Fiji at Tony Robbins’ Wealth Mastery event — surrounded by people who’ve built truly incredible wealth. But what stood out most wasn’t just how they invest — it was how they think. In this solo episode, I’m sharing my personal 3 biggest takeaways that are changing how I think about wealth. 1️⃣ Health is the foundation of your wealthy life. If you lose your health, you lose your capacity to enjoy or sustain success. 2️⃣ Learn to take calculated, not emotional, risk. True wealth builders know how to regulate fear — they understand the difference between uncertainty and danger. Understanding how to take calculated risk, and how to increase your personal risk tolerance are critical in wealth expansion.  3️⃣ Become an owner, not just a consumer. The moment you start owning a piece of what you believe in, your entire identity around money begins to shift. This isn’t just a recap — it’s a reflection on what separates people who manage money… from people who master it!! 🎧 Listen now to The Inner Capital on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
