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.

Episode 6: Transition vs. Transformation: Ikigai, Agency & The Truth About Change with Stephanie Goodell
In this episode of Code 3: Life Reinvented, I sit down with Stephanie Goodell — a MORE® coach and corporate talent leader — to unpack what most people get wrong about transformation.
Stephanie draws a clear line between transition (choice-driven and shorter) and Transformation (identity-level, low agency, and often disorienting) — and explains why surrender, not control, is what truly unlocks growth.
Together, we explore limiting beliefs, practical ways to reclaim choice, and how Ikigai — what you love, what you’re good at, what pays, and what the world needs — can guide your career change and sense of fulfillment.
You’ll walk away with actionable tools like call-a-friend reframes, values alignment, and deep-breathing resets — plus insights into why community is the secret ingredient to resilient reinvention.
