Joining me today is ‪@CodieSanchezCT‬  a renowned investor, entrepreneur, and the author of the newly released book Main Street Millionaire, a no-nonsense guide to building wealth. She unpacks pivotal lessons learned during the 2008 financial crisis, her approach to building wealth through buying—not starting—businesses, and the “three C’s” that have been the foundation of her success: curiosity, crowd, and cash.
