Thank you, Codie! You have made a difference in my life—not financially, at least not yet—but through hope, encouragement, and motivation. I started listening to your podcast after my husband got out of the hospital. I was searching for something positive and uplifting, and I came across Big Deal. I’m so grateful I did. Our journey began on June 18, 2026, when my husband, Michael, fell and was taken to the ER. We never imagined that doctors would discover an AVM (arteriovenous malformation)—specifically a DAVF (dural arteriovenous fistula). We had no idea something so serious could be present without us knowing. As a wife, I never imagined I would experience something like this personally. What makes it even more surreal is that, through my career, I am often on the other side—helping families who have loved ones with brain injuries and guiding them through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I have spent years supporting families, but I never imagined that one day I would be the wife sitting on the other side, praying, waiting, and trying to understand what comes next. During his hospital stay, Michael faced numerous complications, including a severe blood infection, a seizure during which he coded and severely bit his tongue, a fractured foot and toes, a diagnosis of VSD, a small-intestine ulcer, kidney function that came dangerously close to failure, fatty liver disease, a spot on his pancreas, and psoriatic arthritis. After a four-hour surgery, the surgeon told us that Michael was incredibly fortunate they found it when they did. It was on the verge of rupturing, and the mass effect could have been fatal. Yet through all of this, his resilience has never surprised me. Michael served in the Navy aboard a fast-attack nuclear submarine, and he always says: “You can’t hurt steel.” This journey has shown us an incredible amount of strength, resilience, faith, and love. We are deeply grateful for every prayer, every kind word, and every person who has supported us along the way. Your podcast has been one of those unexpected sources of encouragement for me during a very difficult chapter. It has reminded me to keep moving forward, stay hopeful, and look for the possibilities even when life feels overwhelming. Thank you for what you do and for the hope you put into the world. It has meant more to me than you can imagine. With gratitude, Amy

Seriously, Contrarian Thinking offers an extreme value for business owners and soon-to-be business owners. From mindset, to very actionable step-by-step guidance, and a world-class group of coaches, I highly recommend this to anyone interested in or already in business ownership!

There are so many experts with deep knowledge in this community!! The group calls and the one-on-one time they offer to members is invaluable!

Value for my time. I really learnt a lot from Cordie's podcast where she shared habits that made her rich. I have been following some of her habits and they have transformed my marketing strategy.

Anything connected to Contrarian Thinking is amazing! Very educational, inspiring, street smart and absolutely creative. Entrepreneurs built this world but people believe that governments did. It is the people that follow Contrarian Thinking and like minded others that do this. Owned or be owned is so true. Are you the “power or property? Contrarian Thinking is a great example for self actualization! “Just do it!”

Joining Contrarian Academy has been one of the best investments in my husband’s and myself personal and professional growth. We joined the academy in June 2026, In just three months, I personally gained greater knowledge, confidence, and strategic insight into evaluating business opportunities. We have signed three NDAs, connected with brokers, and developed stronger skills in analyzing financial information, assessing businesses, and identifying out-of-market deals and investments. What once felt overwhelming and a barrier for me, after being a stay at home mom for 20 years, now feels manageable and exciting. Best antidote for perimenopause 😅. I’m more confident asking the right questions and taking meaningful steps toward my entrepreneurial goals. My best advice is “you don’t have to know everything to get started—you just need to be willing to learn, take action, and flow. Coddie Sanchez and all his amazing team have the “homework” done for you.

Codie Sanchez delivers incredible insight on main stream business models, deal-making and scaling cash flow assets. Truly one of the sharpest minds in the space today and such a motivator to listen to. Bravo and keep it up.

People and process, Contrarian Thinking has both in spades. Within 6 months of joining I was able to close a deal on my first business and leave my corporate W-2 with no previous business experience. The learning content is dense and had everything I needed to start submitting NDAs and review financials. People are unreasonably helpful. In one case, the lending partner sought new bank relationships for the community just because I had one specific niche situation. It's not for the lukewarm; they will keep you accountable and hold your feet to your fire. But if you're ready to put in the work I can't think of a better use of my time and capital.
