About this listen

 I’m AJ Jones. Twice, a massive widowmaker heart attack nearly ended my life. Twice, I walked away with more than just a second chance. And twice I had to rethink everything. After a 20+ year career with firms like Schwab, BlackRock, and Wells Fargo, my cardiologist told me to retire. Instead, I doubled down on a new mission: to help people stop living on autopilot and start redefining what’s possible. Or put another way, with all due respect to my cardiologist I have unfinished business. Code 3: Life. Reinvented. is not another career podcast. It’s a wake-up call. Each episode is real and urgent. Hear conversations with bold pivoters who left comfort and “success” behind to pursue something meaningful, and with authors and experts who study transformation. We’ll emphasize bringing their stories and techniques into your reality. And you’ll hear from me: unfiltered lessons, radical honesty, and a playbook for reinventing your life before it breaks you. If you’re a high-achieving professional who knows something has to change, this is your siren. Don’t wait for a crisis to force reinvention. This is your Code 3. Code 3: Life. Reinvented. is an initiative of MOREⓇ, an aligned reinvention company. Brought to you by The More Project, Inc.: https://www.bemorealigned.com2c63b0f0-a2d5-11f0-90bb-f7b63a0a3347

    Ep 27: Midlife Transition Isn’t a Crisis… It’s a Wake-Up Call (Career Pivot, Purpose & Reinvention)
    Apr 13 2026
    Somewhere in the middle of a successful life…a quiet question shows up: Is this really it? You did everything right. Built the career. Earned the title. Created a life that—on paper—looks like success. So why does it feel… off? In this episode of Code 3: Life Reinvented, I sit down with author Lorie Kleiner Eckert (Chai on Life) to talk about what really happens in a midlife transition—when success stops feeling like success. This isn’t about blowing up your life. It’s about telling yourself the truth. What We Cover: Why high achievers resist change even when something feels wrong The hidden cost of staying in a life that no longer fits What a real career pivot actually looks like (hint: it’s smaller than you think) Why purpose isn’t found—it’s built, one step at a time A simple, practical framework for reinvention that actually works Lorie Kleiner Eckert is an author and speaker whose book Chai on Life explores gratitude, reinvention, and finding meaning in everyday moments. 👉 Explore Lori’s work: Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/loriekleinereckert/ MORE® is the destination for high-achievers ready to move beyond “numb success” and into a life of aligned reinvention. 👉 Learn more: https://bemorealigned.com 📩 Connect directly: hello@bemorealigned.com

    Ep. 25: From Wall Street to Wellness: How High Achievers Rebuild Health, Purpose & Fulfillment
    Mar 30 2026
    What if the life you built for success is quietly costing you your health, energy, and fulfillment? In this episode of Code 3: Life Reinvented, I sit down with Clarissa Louis—former asset management executive turned wellness entrepreneur—to explore what happens when high achievers realize that financial success alone isn’t enough. After years in high-performance environments at firms like BlackRock and Schwab, Clarissa made a bold pivot into building The Iron Mat, a wellness platform focused on helping driven professionals reconnect with their bodies, mindset, and purpose. We unpack: The critical difference between retirement wealth vs. retirement health Why success without alignment leads to burnout, numbness, and disconnection The myth of transformation—and why it actually happens in the “messy” moments A simple but powerful framework to assess your life: financial, social, and personal capital How high performers can break out of autopilot and start making aligned decisions today The concept of “fuel”—and why your energy, not your calendar, determines your future If you’ve ever felt like your life looks successful on paper but doesn’t feel the way you expected… this conversation will hit home. Because fulfillment isn’t something you arrive at it’s something you build, daily. 👉 This episode is for high achievers at a crossroads who are ready to redefine what’s possible—before burnout or crisis forces the change.
