After years in high finance, Codie Sanchez watched investors chase flashy startups even though 80% of them failed. This made her wonder: Where is the 80% win rate? The answer led her to “boring” businesses, the small, steady cash-flow companies most entrepreneurs overlook. Today, she owns more than 26 companies and is one of the world’s top female business influencers, teaching others how to build wealth through contrarian entrepreneurship.
