Adam sits down with Angelique Dawson, a powerhouse attorney, stepmom of five, philanthropist, and founder of Agile Angel Ventures. Her story is one of grace, grit, and giving back—from losing her father at a young age, to building a career in law and compliance, to becoming a fierce advocate for women entrepreneurs and local nonprofits.
In this episode, Angelique opens up about how growing up as the only child of immigrant parents shaped her worldview and ambition. She talks about the power of discipline, the impact of grief, and the unexpected love that came with becoming a wife, stepmother, and grandmother. Along the way, she shares how her mentor inspired her to pour into others, ultimately leading her to launch Agile Angel Ventures, a platform designed to support entrepreneurs—especially women in the wellness and fitness space.
Whether she’s working with Neighbor to Neighbor to fight food insecurity or mentoring the next generation through Reach Prep, Angelique embodies the idea that purpose is something you live out loud—through action, connection, and community.
Purpose evolves—but your values should stay constant.
Grief shapes us, but it doesn’t have to define us.
Mentorship is about showing people the path—even when they can’t see it yet.
Love and family don’t have to follow a script—they follow the heart.
Movement is medicine.
Community work reveals how deeply interconnected we truly are.
