  One Question Housed Nearly 1,000 Women and Children.

  Aug 12, 20261h 19m

  If you're building something, a business, a nonprofit, a family, this one's for you. Loren and his wife Rachelle started with a two-bedroom rental and one question: How do you actually love your neighbor? No plan. No blueprint. Fifteen years later they've housed nearly 1,000 women and children coming out of the hardest situations you can imagine. It started with a 13-year-old knocking on their door two days before Christmas. In this conversation Loren talks about the girls who kept showing up, one after another, before anyone was calling it trafficking. The FBI call that caught them off guard. The $8 million check he stared at wondering if he'd sold his soul. And the question God asked him in the car after school drop-off that changed how he saw all of it. We get into what it means to serve your city with no agenda, why the best things you build never start from a slick plan, and how to know your neighbor when you don't even know their name anymore.

  The Foundation Under 35 Years of Creative Work — Noah Elias

  Jul 16, 20261h 27m

  Noah Elias has spent 35 years building the kind of creative career most people think isn't possible. He's painted for Disney, Lucasfilm, and Lexus. He was voted one of the top 25 artists in the world. He's built companies, written books, and coached entrepreneurs for decades. But this conversation isn't really about the résumé. It's about what's underneath it. We talk about the question most successful people can't answer, why he was his own worst bully for years, and what changed when he stopped performing for God and started trusting him. He breaks down the difference between a coach and a mentor, the three phases of life he takes every client through (consumer, producer, investor), and why he blocks 5 to 10 every morning as the most important work he does. We also get into money. Why you can't live a radical life of generosity while you're broke, what a gospel patron is, and how he thinks about turning everything he's been given into something that multiplies. If you've ever felt like your work is who you are, this one's going to poke at that. In this episode: The desert question: who are you without the title Fear and shame, and why he wrote Fear Hunters Coaching is for a season, mentors are for life Performing for God vs. trusting him The 5 to 10 a.m. root system Consumer, producer, investor Gospel patrons and generosity AI, trust, and why depth wins from here Follow Cody Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/ YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/codynow Free Resources What’s Your Budget Style?

  Possibly the Most Interesting Man You've Never Heard Of

  Jul 1, 20261h 5m

  Mark is one of the most quietly remarkable people I’ve ever known and in this conversation he shares the kind of wisdom that only comes from lived out experience. We go deep on identity. What proximity to large sums of money actually does to a person. The real cost of mastery. Why most people are knocking on doors they were never meant to open and one question that reframed everything for me: “Every person lives their life from an identity — whether they admit it or not. It will affect everything you are and every decision you make.” Follow Cody Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/ YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/codynow Free Resources What’s Your Budget Style?
