Codie Sanchez is a reformed journalist, turned institutional investor to cannabis investor and advisor, to now Founder of Contrarian Thinking and Cofounder of Unconventional Acquisitions. She helps people think critically, and cashflow unconventionally while allocating to what she calls "sweaty & boring" small businesses. Most notably these are businesses in the micro-private equity space in traditional service-based industries.
Throughout her career, she has worked at the intersection of marketing and money, finding contrarian ways to invest.
Today, Codie has more than 150,000 email subscribers, 815,000 followers on TikTok, 209,000 followers on Instagram, and 123,000 followers on Twitter.
In this episode, we talk about Codie’s bet on being a content creator, how she forms opinions, her exact content process and strategy for TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, why she doesn’t recommend Substack, and why Contrarian Thinking is a skill we all need to hone.
