A wife that passed away from cancer, a career in transition, and a young daughter to raise on your own ... how do you not just move forward but thrive despite this hand you have been dealt?

We discuss AJ's grief journey, from losing his wife Cory to brain cancer when she was just 33 and the trials he faced not just in the grief, but now as a single parent to his daughter Zoey, managing his career as a certified anti-money laundering specialist (CAMS) and fraud examiner (CFE), and so much more.
