Summary
How do you track your spending?
What’s the easiest way for you to save money?
Today, Jay welcomes back Codie Sanchez, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Contrarian Thinking, to share the mindset shifts needed to thrive financially in today’s world. Codie explains why renting can sometimes be the smarter move, how to negotiate with confidence, and why mastering the language of money, from credit scores to strategic debt, is essential before you can build real wealth. Together, Jay and Codie debunk the myths of financial literacy, showing that clarity and confidence matter far more than complicated strategies.
This conversation takes an honest look at what it really takes to make money in a tough economy, whether that’s launching a side hustle without quitting your job or spotting opportunities that others overlook when markets are down. Codie highlights that building wealth isn’t about chasing trends or quick wins, but about making disciplined decisions, managing risk with intention, and turning problems into possibilities. Together, Jay and Codie also discuss how to grow within your career by understanding your true value, negotiating with confidence, and recognizing that profit and purpose don’t have to compete, they can align in practical, meaningful ways.
