    1805: How to Create Wealth Through Ownership with Codie Sanchez

    What if the secret to extraordinary wealth isn’t about betting on the next big thing, but buying something tried-and-true—like a plumbing business, a car wash, or a cleaning company? What if the future of entrepreneurship isn’t on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley, but on Main Street—if only we knew how to seize it? My guest today is Codie Sanchez, founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a digital education platform and media company with over 6 million followers In her new book, Main Street Millionaire: How to Make Extraordinary Wealth Buying Ordinary Businesses, Codie lays out her bold argument: that buying profitable, established, cash-flowing businesses is the most underrated path to building wealth—and that now is the time to act. Why? Because America is facing a generational handoff. Over 40 million Americans are hitting retirement age, and baby boomers—who currently own nearly two-thirds of small businesses with employees—are poised to sell. Codie calls it a “silver tsunami,” and for those who know how to navigate it, it could mean once-in-a-generation opportunity. In our conversation, Codie opens up about her own unlikely journey from journalism to Wall Street to Main Street. We talk about how she made the leap, the psychological hurdles to entrepreneurship, and how she thinks about power, relationships, and the future of work in an AI-driven world.

    1804: How to Build Like a Woman: Kathleen Griffith on Creating a Life and Business You Love

    Today, I’m sharing something a little different in the feed. As some of you may know, I recently launched a new podcast called Leading By Example in partnership with iHeartMedia and Ruby Studios. Over there, I’ve been diving into powerful conversations with changemakers who are redefining leadership in their own unique ways—and today, I wanted to bring one of those episodes to the So Money audience. In this episode, I sit down with Kathleen Griffith, a serial entrepreneur who walked away from an unfulfilling corporate career and went on to build Build Like a Woman—a movement and business that’s helping women create the lives and careers they truly want. Through her company Grayce & Co, Kathleen has overseen more than $500 million in marketing strategy for major brands like NIKE Women and Verizon. Kathleen opens up about the bold decisions she made to pivot her life, what she’s learned along the way, and how she’s empowering other women to build—with intention, courage, and heart.
