#57 with Codie Sanchez on Investing, Understanding Money, and Financial Freedom

With an extensive background in investments and finances, Codie Sanchez provides worthwhile tools for people looking to live out the very idea that financial freedom is the foundation of ALL freedom. Codie takes us through her personal journey as a young Latin woman and what it took in order to pave her own way in the business world. She encourages all people to find your “unfair advantage” in the business by knowing a few specific things that make you unique and how to implement them into creating side hustle. In this episode of Meathead Hippie, Codie talks about how crucial it is to understand your own worth in terms of salary, blocks for women in finance, loving the grind and how to start engaging with the big players. “Get a seat at the table instead of a sign outside the building.” Codie Sanchez provides a substantial amount of insight on investmenting, starting up as an entrepreneur and learning how to use creativity as fuel in successful growth and development in the world of business. Codie adds, “It’s really all about leveraging yourself and thinking about whose kingdom you are building.” Codie can be found at https://www.codiesanchez.com/ and on instagram at instagram.com/codiesanchez 4:30 Initial Start in Angel Investing 7:30 From Journalism to Finance 11:00 The Scarcity Mentality and Making a Career Change Finding your “unfair advantage” by the things that make you unique 16:00 Knowing Your $$ Worth, Then Negotiating It 23:00 Starting Your Side Hustle 27:00 Blocks For Women in Finance 32:00 Gender Pay and Leveraging Yourself “Leverage yourself and think about whose kingdom you are building.” 35:00 Survival Mode and Creativity Loving the grind - “Complacency is the number killer of hustle.” 39:00 Engaging With the Big Players 43:00 Steps in Starting to Invest 45:45 Knowing What to Avoid 48:30 Spirit Animal Thank you listeners!!
