Codie Sanchez started out on the traditional corporate path, working long hours and steadily rising through the ranks. But she soon noticed a pattern: the wealthiest people weren't just starting flashy tech companies—they were buying "boring businesses." Codie decided to break away from the corporate world to invest in steady, everyday businesses that others ignored, like laundromats and vending machines, building her wealth that way. In today's episode, Hala and Codie dive into how these unglamorous businesses can be your ticket to financial freedom and why sometimes the smartest move is going against the grain.

Codie Sanchez is a formidable force in the world of finance, known for her bold, contrarian thinking, financial acumen and entrepreneurial prowess. Codie comes by blue collar ownership and education the old fashioned way, her parents. Her mom a 30 year special education teacher and her dad a self made blue collar builder many times over inspired her to keep building. Determined to figure out what leads to real freedom, Codie graduated early from Arizona State University with a degree in journalism. She spent time in Juarez, Mexico, where she worked to bring attention to the murder, mutilation and human trafficking of thousands of women. Codie's coverage of the atrocities in Juarez earned her the Robert F. Kennedy award for print journalism. But after witnessing firsthand the ways in which financial stability could be a lifeline, Codie realized she didn't want to write stories, she wanted to change them. She saw that people hold the power—and the purse strings—but they have to be able to bet on themselves in order to succeed. Codie shifted gears from journalism to finance, dedicating herself to learning how to earn more money so she could help others do the same. In 2008, Codie took her first job in finance at Vanguard. That same year, the 2008 financial crisis struck and Codie again witnessed the devastating impact of financial illiteracy on ordinary people. Over the next several years, she redoubled her efforts to master the financial industry, ascending the ranks of prominent institutions such as Goldman Sachs, State Street, and First Trust. Over the next decade, Codie's entrepreneurial drive led her to buy, build and invest in an array of businesses, like laundromats and cannabis companies. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Codie kept betting on herself and eventually created an investment portfolio as diverse as her skills. Now fluent in the language of finance, dealmaking, mergers and acquisitions, Codie began working on a way to pull her experiences together. The goal was, as it had always been, to reach, educate and empower other people. When a global pandemic brought the world to a standstill in 2020, Codie realized it was time to take action. She launched Contrarian Thinking, the world's first free-thinking finance and media company. In spite of the global pandemic it launched in, Contrarian Thinking has empowered thousands to take control of their financial destinies and become successful small business owners. This venture fosters a community of more than four million contrarian thinkers worldwide, teaching the tenets of financial freedom and supporting small business ownership.

Brian Wesbury (@wesbury), Chief Economist at First Trust, covers a range of topics from the state of the stock market to central bank meetings, inflation, Bitcoin and government policies. As the economic toll of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic lingers, he explores the long-term consequences of massive monetary and fiscal stimulus. He weighs in on the issue of interest rates and their manipulation by central banks, raising questions about the sustainability of low rates and points out the potential risks associated with such policies. The discussion touches upon the concept of a national bank and digital currency. He explores the political landscape and the challenges facing fiscal conservatism in today's society, highlighting the importance of free speech, free markets, and personal responsibility, including recent labor strikes, their impact on economic data, and their potential to disrupt various industries, including the automotive sector. He provides a nuanced perspective on economic growth, inflation, and the uncertain role of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The conversation also delves into Bitcoin and the possibility of government regulation, noting the government's willingness to let cryptocurrencies flourish, as long as they can collect tax revenue. The discussion takes an interesting turn as the hosts explore the potential resurgence of barter systems in the economy, reflecting the public's growing distrust of government and taxation.

My guest this week has an incredibly inspiring story. Codie Sanchez started her career as a journalist covering human trafficking, and was confronted with extreme violence and the worst of humanity on a daily basis. Realising that she didn't want to be someone who, in her own words, had to ‘fight for a living' she decided to take a hard pivot into finance. Since entering the world of finance, Codie became partner at private equity firm EEC, and built First Trust's $1 billion+ AUM Latin America business. She's also the co-founder of ‘Unconventional Acquisitions' and the founder of ‘Contrarian Thinking' who have a mission to bring more people into financial freedom. In the conversation we talk about how, just like Codie's career, human beings don't have linear paths, we talk about the question of whether you need periods of struggle in order to achieve wealth, happiness and success. As well as advice for women in the workplace and leadership and we finish by covering a handful of truths that will make you more money than any business degree.
