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.
Bad News Should Travel Fast: How to Build Radical Trust in Leadership
In this episode of Women's Million Dollar Conversations, Alice Tang sits down with Bree Katulak—President and CFO of RenoSys, host of the Unstoppable You podcast, and veteran executive leader. Drawing from more than two decades in corporate finance, Bree breaks down the essential shifts required to scale multi-million-dollar organizations while creating a life that feels as authentic and grounded on the inside as it looks on paper.
From early childhood money lessons to executive boardrooms, Bree and Alice explore what it really takes to transition from peer to leader, command respect without sacrificing warmth, and view financial data not just as numbers, but as human stories.
Key Takeaways:
Unlearning the Debt Taboo: How Bree shifted from the traditional mindset of "all debt is bad" to treating low-cost capital as an engine for long-term strategic investments—and why financial confidence requires trusting your own lived experience.
The "Velvet Hammer" Leadership Model: How high-achieving women can overcome the exhausting double-edged sword of warmth versus decisiveness. Bree shares her exact playbook for delivering tough, data-backed decisions with absolute grace.
Psychological Safety as a Growth Engine: Why bad news should always travel faster than good news, and how building an environment free of retaliation transformed Polygon's employee retention rates over a four-year turnaround.
Dismantling the "Indispensability" Trap: The subtle, toxic habit of hoarding responsibilities for job security, and how documenting processes, cross-training, and building backups actually accelerates your own promotion.
The Executive Network Audit: Applying the rigor of a corporate talent review to your personal circle. Learn the telltale red flags of draining relationships and the power of alignment in core values.
Redefining True Wealth as Radical Presence: Why a spreadsheet is just a report card, and why the ultimate currency in a hyper-distracted world is the ability to be completely "where your feet are"—whether commanding a boardroom or unplugging at home with your children.
