Curiosity, Clarity, and the Four Doors into Better Retirement | Ideas by Mike™ EP57

By |

Curiosity might be the most underrated success skill on the planet – and Cody Lutz shows why it can change everything from your career to your retirement years. If you’re stuck, scaling, transitioning, or wondering what’s next, this conversation will challenge the assumptions that are keeping you small.

Cody’s path is anything but conventional: from growing up on a dirt road in a farming county, to working in a warehouse at Answers in Genesis, to traveling the world coordinating events, to leading teams in SaaS, to launching his own coaching business from a 12 by 20 shed on his property. That shed, now known as “the Shred,” became the home base for Backyard Shreds and the springboard into the executive coaching work he does today.
