What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is sitting on the other side of generosity? Not more skills. Not more certifications. Not more hustle. Just giving. This episode breaks down why giving isn’t something you do after you become successful, it’s something that creates the success. Cody explains how generosity changes who you become, how it attracts opportunity, and why guarding your money might actually be guarding your limitations.

In this episode, Cody shares the story of the day he and Wendy had $600 in their bank account, and gave away $500 of it. It wasn’t comfortable. It wasn’t strategic. And it definitely wasn’t because they had extra. Four days later, an unexpected opportunity showed up that paid $4,000. But here’s the real lesson: the money didn’t magically appear. The opportunity did. And Cody still had to act on it.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Create abundance by giving first, not waiting
• Turn generosity into real opportunity
• Break out of scarcity thinking
• Stop burnout by tying your work to purpose
• Shift from hoarding to circulating wealth
