ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the business you’re building was never really yours to begin with?
In this episode of the Addicted2Success Podcast, I sit down with Cody Cottle — serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the Christian Entrepreneur Club, where he serves more than 700 Christian business owners.
Cody shares what changed when he stopped trying to control every outcome and began treating God as the CEO of his business.
We talk about the difference between building according to the world’s definition of success and building something that doesn’t cost you your faith, family, peace or character.
Cody opens up about growing up with his father in prison, leaving home at 16, his journey to Jesus, and the successful businessman who planted a seed in his life that completely changed his trajectory.
We also get into:
• How to discern fear from the Holy Spirit
• Why outward success can hide a deeply broken life
• The role prayer plays in major business decisions
• Why “complexity fails and simplicity scales”
• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs are making with AI and information overload
• Paid advertising and customer acquisition
• Building trust before selling high-ticket offers
• Moving from solopreneur to leader
• Why Cody believes your marketplace can become your ministry
This conversation is for entrepreneurs who want to build something significant — without compromising the things that matter most.
