I started in August of 2024. Before that date I had no idea how to buy a business or even that I could. I knew I wanted to so that is why I join Contrarian Thinking. The real life experience from everyone here is amazing, the help that everyone shares is all amazing! Without this group there is no way I would be looking at businesses to buy. Thank you to all!!!

I think everything has been awesome from the start. From the sales call to the fulfillment, everything that was promised was delivered. Don't get me wrong, you still need to put in work but this group was built in a way that supports hard workers. If you need any guidance, there are MNL's, multiple groups, coaches, events, etc. If you need professional connections, they have that. If you need to cry, they have a shoulder for you to lean on. There's in-person and virtual events. Everyone is friendly and looking to collaborate. I seriously appreciate all the hard work this team puts in.

The newsletter had mindblowing gems of wisdom that validated that my kids are on the right track with their businesses on YouTube.

The Contrarian Thinking team has been amazing. Changed the way I think about opportunities, how I see business. Amazing to have the support from Contrarian and the community.

Best thing that happened to me. For years I wanted to do a side hustle but just didn’t know how. Then I started following Codie on YT and loved her content and practicality. One thing I did different than what she advices - I quit my job and jumped in to Contrarian Academy full time. Because I’d saved some money and could afford to (I was much later in my career) - you need to evaluate your situation for yourself. I took 3 months to complete the program and started reviewing different businesses. The content is so practical and based on lessons learned from plenty of others - not just experts, but peers. You learn about your deal box, what to look for, how to setup a deal team - all kinds of things, across all kinds of businesses. Because I was intentional, I was able to leverage the skills built from the program to acquire two businesses in the past two years. It’s not easy, nobody tells you it is. But it is doable, and you’ve got plenty of support from the community through your whole journey. If you’re an entrepreneur but just struggling with how to get started, try this program - you can’t go wrong. One thing to note - I see people who have a W4 job join the community - of them, the ones who are truly focused and intentional about business acquisitions - setting deadlines for themselves, and hitting them - are the ones who successfully end up acquiring a business. Many in my cohort couldn’t make the time even 2 years later because their W2s required a lot of their time.

Cody’s program provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap for purchasing a business. The tools, platform, and resources—especially the direct access to highly knowledgeable coaches—set this program apart from anything else out there. If you’re serious about buying a profitable business, willing to take action, and coachable, this is absolutely the place to be.

I’ve gotten tremendous value from joining Contrarian Thinking. The combination of courses, tools, and community support has far exceeded my expectations. They are constantly updating the resources and providing new and helpful tools. One of the biggest benefits for me has been access to a community of like-minded people who are actually doing deals and sharing real-world insights. I have learned so much from the weekly calls and recordings. Overall, joining Contrarian Thinking has been absolutely worth it. I’ve learned a ton, gained confidence, and now have a clear path forward thanks to the tools and training they provide. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in acquisitions.

This is a fantastic group of like-minded, action-oriented humans who encourage each other along the path of business buying. It is empowering being in their presence!
