I’ve spent time around some of the wealthiest, most successful people on the planet, from Richard Branson to Naval Ravikant to Travis Kalanick.

What I discovered is that billionaires don’t just work harder, they operate on a completely different set of rules that most entrepreneurs never learn.

In this video, I share the biggest lessons that changed how I build businesses and live my life after spending hundreds of hours with the top 0.01%.

If you want to know what actually separates the ultra successful from everyone else, watch this to the end.

AI isn’t coming for your job… it already is. Jack Dorsey just wiped out 50% of his entire company’s workforce, the stock went up, and that’s just the beginning. In this video, I’m breaking down exactly why the rules have changed forever, who’s going to get crushed, and more importantly, how you actually win. From the one business opportunity I’d bet on in 2026, to why your Ivy League resume is no longer your moat, to the exact playbook for building real income with AI right now – this is a video you need to pay attention to. If you’re ready for the truth and a real plan, watch this.

Hi… I’m Codie.

If we haven’t met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years.

My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one.

Here’s what I know for sure… those who say it’s impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️

Most people walk past old, rundown driving ranges without giving them a second thought. But this guy saw a massive opportunity hiding in plain sight.

In this episode I sit down with someone who buys outdated, abandoned driving ranges that nobody wants and turns them into cash flowing businesses with thousands of paying members. We talk about why the bar was so low in this industry, what simple upgrades made the biggest difference, why Topgolf can’t keep customers coming back, and how a $20 monthly membership changed everything.
If you’re looking for an overlooked business with real upside, this one is worth paying attention to.

Most entrepreneurs are still using AI like a glorified search engine. I’ve spent the last year testing AI agents across my own companies and 50+ portfolio businesses, and what I found will change how you think about building a company. In this video, I walk you through the exact process to go from doing everything yourself to directing AI agents that handle the work for you, no coding required. If you want to see what a business looks like when AI does the heavy lifting, watch this to the end.

PROMPTS USED IN THIS VIDEO (copy & paste these):

Step 1 — Attract:
“Find 50 [your ideal client type] in [niche/industry] with [qualifying criteria] who recently [relevant activity]. Pull their [contact info fields] into a table.”

Step 2 — Convert:
“Act as an expert in sales and marketing. Draft a personalized email to each person on this list. Reference their [recent activity/pain point]. My intro: [your value proposition]. Ask if they’d be open to a [call/demo/conversation]. Send the email and follow up every [X] days if no response, up to [X] times.”

Step 2B — Auto-monitor replies:
“Every 24 hours, review my email for replies to these outreach emails. If anyone replies with interest (not just telling us to stop), send me a notification and message me on [Slack/other platform]: ’You’ve got a reply from a potential customer.’”

Step 3 — Deliver:
“Analyze [Client Name]’s [platform/channel/website]. Review the last [time period] of [content/activity]. Find recurring patterns and insights. Focus on [specific metric/element]. What has worked and what hasn’t? Put all insights in a table.”

Step 3B — Branded report:
“Create a [deliverable type] with these insights. Go to [Client’s Website], pull their branding (colors, logo, fonts), and replicate it in the [deliverable] style. Make it look like it came from their team in terms of visual style.”

Step 4 — Automate:
Content Research: “Find my top [X] competitors in [niche/industry] on [platform]. Pull their most-viewed [content type] from the last [time period]. Analyze the topics and correlate patterns. Give me [X] [content type] ideas based on what’s working for them.”

Client Feedback: “After project completion, send an NPS survey to the client. If they rate 9 or 10, ask for a referral: ‘Who else do you know struggling with [pain point]?’ Add referrals to the lead list and start the outreach sequence.”

Business Insights: “Scrape reviews and feedback from all clients. Analyze: What’s working? What’s not? Where are the gaps in our process? Send me a weekly report with insights and recommendations.”

In this episode, I talk with Matt Howe, a former high school math teacher who started flipping items on Facebook Marketplace to make extra money and eventually built a full equipment dealership. Matt shares how he went from making around $40K as a teacher to flipping lawn mowers for quick profits, earning $20K to $30K in one summer and eventually scaling the operation by hiring drivers, working with a mechanic, and sourcing underpriced equipment from dealers who didn’t want to deal with used inventory. Over time, the side hustle turned into a real dealership doing over $1.1M in a single month in sales. We break down how he finds deals, negotiates prices, scales the operation, and why buying low and moving inventory quickly matters more than fixing things.
