Add kindness to the spreadsheet-With Linda Cohen

Time is the Ultimate Currency with Laura Salerno Owens

In this episode of Women's Million Dollar Conversations, trial attorney and Markowitz Herbold President Laura Salerno Owens reflects on her journey since her first appearance on the show during the pandemic. Laura shares her "unlock" moment: transitioning from a mindset of constant accumulation to valuing Time Wealth—the autonomy to control the who, what, and when of her life. She opens up about overcoming a childhood scarcity mindset, the importance of celebrating big wins (like hitting her first million-dollar revenue goal and taking her team to Vegas), and how she is teaching her children the value of "saving for the yes." Key Takeaways: * The Three-Legged Stool: A stable life requires balance between Family, Work, and Community. * Work-Life Integration: Moving away from the myth of "balance" toward a life where personal and professional circles blend and support each other. * The Zone of Genius: Reaching a point in your career where success isn't just about money, but about flow and intentionality. * Legacy through Space: Building communities and "getting out of the way" to let the collective alchemy of women happen.

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.
