Episode 29: How to Go From Boring to Extraordinary (ft. Codie Sanchez)
About the Episode
In an era where “quiet quitting” and “self-care” obsessions seem to be all the rage, there’s a huge opportunity to set yourself apart from everyone else—and it’s not as hard as you might think.
Codie Sanchez set herself apart by buying “boring businesses” and turning her venture into a multi-million dollar enterprise.
But for Codie, it’s about so much more than the money. Her simple mantra is, “question everything”, and it has given her a unique perspective on life, relationships, and happiness, which we explore here in this week’s pod.
This was a fun interview. Check it out.
Codie Sanchez Quotes From the Episode
Humans are incredible self-rationalizing machines with the innate ability to believe our own bullshit.
Can you imagine if the most defining characteristic about you is how you choose to have sex, what skin color you are, and whether you have something that protrudes or inverts between your legs?
Money is the ultimate equalizer. If you want to make a real difference, it’s going to be very hard for you to do it without resources.
