About this listen

 Think becoming a millionaire is reserved for the Forbes 400 or the lucky few? Think again. Despite the headlines, less than 10% of the U.S. population has reached a million-dollar net worth—and for women and BIPOC communities, the gap is even wider. 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.2026 Career Success Economics Personal Development Personal Success
