Codie Sanchez
NYT Best Selling Author, Founder, CEO and Investor
Codie Sanchez spent years on Wall Street, holding senior roles at Goldman Sachs, State Street, Vanguard, and First Trust, where she mastered private equity strategies and built a billion-dollar asset management firm for First Trust in Latin America.
Eventually, she decided to leave corporate acquisitions behind and pursue them for herself. Codie launched Main Street Holding Company and Contrarian Thinking Capital, building a portfolio of “boring businesses” such as car washes, laundromats, and handyman services.
Today, she is the founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a financial media company with millions of followers. Through it, she shares her passion for helping others create wealth using unconventional acquisition strategies.
Choose Your Path to Ownership

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will the event be held?
This is a virtual live event you can join from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and the drive to become an owner. We’ve designed it to be highly interactive despite being virtual – you’ll be networking, breaking into small groups, and getting real-time feedback.
How interactive is this event?
This isn’t a passive webinar where you just watch and take notes. Each day includes:
- Talking to deal advisors LIVE
- Win a chance to have your deal analyzed live on air
- Learn from real deal reviews of your peers
We’ve specifically designed this virtual event to keep you engaged and active – you’ll be putting these strategies to work immediately, not just learning about them.
How is this different from Codie’s book or free content?
While Codie shares valuable insights freely, Main Street Millionaire Live is your complete roadmap to ownership. You’ll get live deal analysis, direct access to our expert deal team, interactive workshops, and the 10% of our playbook we’ve never shared publicly. Plus, you’re not just learning – you’re doing the work in real-time with our guidance.
Can I bring my spouse/partner?
Absolutely! We encourage you to include your partner in this journey. One ticket allows you both to attend together from the same device. If you want your own log-ins or will be on multiple devices you’ll need to buy multiple tickets.
Having your partner aligned and excited about business ownership can be a game-changer for your success.
What if I can’t attend all three days?
While we recommend trying to attend as much as possible for the full learning experience. It’s the only time Codie’s doing an event like this that you can attend from the comfort of your own home. Send the kids or dogs out for the day, put up that do not disturb sign and dig in as much as you can!
What kind of support is available during and after the event?
You’re never alone in your business buying journey. During the event, you’ll have direct access to our team if you need help through our interactive event dashboard, chat and Q & A sessions.
Can I get the recordings?
VIP ticket holders get unlimited, lifetime access to all session recordings and exclusive content. Access to the recordings will be shared 30 days after the event.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. We’ve designed this event for both complete newcomers and experienced buyers. If you’re just starting out, we’ll break down complex concepts into clear, actionable steps. Our expert team specializes in making business buying accessible – no fancy MBA required. We’ll teach you the exact language, tools, and frameworks you need to confidently evaluate and purchase your first business.
What if I’m already a business owner?
Many of our most successful students are current business owners looking to expand through acquisition. You’ll learn how to leverage your existing business experience to spot opportunities, structure deals, and build a portfolio of profitable businesses. Plus, we have a special bonus session specifically for current owners on scaling and growth strategies.
What’s your refund or transfer policy?
While tickets are non-refundable, we want to ensure you get value no matter what. If you can’t attend, you can gift a transfer of your ticket to a friend, family member, or future owner (All transfer requests must be made 72 hours before the start of the event to be honored).
If you’re a VIP ticket holder, you’ll still get full access to all recordings and materials. Email our team at support@Contrarianthink.com and we’ll help you make the best choice for your situation.
