Cody Builds A Business Podcast

The Cody Builds a Business Podcast documents my journey of starting a 7-figure business from scratch. When I started the show in April 2018, I literally had 0 influence and followers online. My email list consisted of roughly 30 customers from my digital marketing agency, Red Anchor Marketing.

So the podcast documents the journey from completely unknown to 7 figures.

Thanks for joining me!

This Caught Me Off Guard

Do you hate being interrupted? Yesterday I was walking in downtown Colorado Springs when a young man in his early 20's took a big step towards me, smiling. "Excuse me sir!" I stopped walking and noticed a clip board in his eager hands. Yay.... "Can you take a...

How to Own the Dinner Table

When was the last time someone overdelivered? Last year I upgraded my 2004 Nissan Maxima to a used 2014 Infiniti Q50. Out with the cassette deck, in with the all-wheel drive hybrid sports sedan. It being used, I missed the part where the overly enthusiastic sales...
