Parentpreneur: How to Build a Business Without Losing Yourself or Your Kids with Navid Moosa

Author: AJ Jones, Founder, MORE® — Aligned Reinvention Guide May 26, 2026 Duration: 33:14
What does success actually look like when you’ve built businesses, raised kids, made mistakes, and gained enough perspective to know money alone isn’t the answer? In this episode of Code 3: Life Reinvented, I sit down with entrepreneur Navid Moosa for a conversation that goes far deeper than business strategy. Navid shares the extraordinary story of his family being forced to flee Uganda under Idi Amin’s regime with just one suitcase and 90 days to survive, and how that legacy shaped his mindset around struggle, gratitude, and resilience. We also unpack what it means to be a “parentpreneur” and whether it’s actually possible to build ambitious businesses without sacrificing your presence at home. Navid gets brutally honest about mistakes he’s made as a father, the lessons they taught him, and why his newest mission is helping other parents avoid the same traps. We also explore: Why your definition of success should evolve as you age The surprising power of time freedom How to know when you’re out of alignment Why your “why” should be bigger than yourself What brings you peace and why that matters The importance of taking inventory of the people around you This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, family, reinvention, alignment, and what really matters when the noise dies down. If you’ve ever wondered whether success is costing you too much, this one’s for you.

AJ Jones has a story that gets your attention, but it's not where his story ends. Surviving two widowmaker heart attacks after a high-powered finance career at places like Schwab and BlackRock led to a doctor's order to retire. He chose a different path. Now, as the founder of MORE®, he acts as an Aligned Reinvention Guide, and this Code 3: Life. Reinvented. podcast is the conversation that follows from that choice. It’s born from the urgent realization that sometimes you have to tear up the old blueprint completely. Here, we move past simple motivational talk into the tangible, sometimes messy work of building a life and career that truly fits who you are. You’ll hear from AJ and a range of guests who have navigated their own pivots, discussing the practical strategies and mindset shifts needed to step off autopilot. The discussions naturally weave through business, career development, education, and personal growth, because reinvention doesn’t respect neat categories. Tuning into this podcast means listening in on honest dialogues about risk, purpose, and crafting a definition of success that has personal meaning. It’s for anyone feeling the nagging sense that there’s a more aligned version of their professional journey or daily life waiting to be built, and who wants to hear how others have started that construction.
