Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
After climbing the ranks of the high finance ladder, Codie Sanchez felt lost. She was no longer in charge of her day-to-day life, despite her years of schooling and hard work. She decided to take the insights she gained to build her own portfolio of what she calls “boring businesses.” Now, she's out to help others do the same and is quickly becoming one of the biggest female business influencers in the world. In this episode, Codie reveals what she looks for when buying a boring business, what kinds of businesses you can buy tomorrow with no money down, and how to think like a contrarian investor.
