I recently listened to a podcast with Codie Sanchez and Bill Perkins (of Die With Zero) in which Codie recounted a story of
What's your impression of Codie?

She seems pretty straightforward with minimal hype. I've seen a handful of her videos and attended one conference call. Useful from an aspirational type perspective and led me to a handful of other resources for acquiring a business. That approach is hardly the darling of the internet or the Tik Tok crowd and I like her stuff, but I'm still pretty far from dropping $10K for her coaching program. It's mostly interesting from the "buying cashflow" crowd that it attracts. Similar to RE.

She seems to be very driven and super obsessed about entrepreneurship and making money. I don't really find such people relevant for my life anymore so I don't follow her much. I do sometimes read some of her newsletters but I can't help but notice that common, over-the-top type A American style purist work ethic in which only hard work matters and life is a never-ending pursuit of more, more, more, and more.
