Shownotes

This solo episode is a little different. Andrea shares her personal answers to the three reflective questions she now asks every guest on the podcast—designed to move us through past, present, and future.

Questions explored in this episode:

  1. What have I chosen not to inherit?
  2. What’s a part of my story that I’m learning to honor right now?
  3. In one word, what am I the first of in my family?

Andrea opens up about letting go of the belief that success requires sacrificing family time, redefining what it means to be entrepreneurial, and stepping into the vulnerable role of being the “first” to go public about family, identity, and legacy.

If you’re a next gen navigating the tension of privilege, pressure, and possibility—this episode is for you.
