Cody Berman co founder of Gold City Ventures is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. This is a man with quite a story of success, focus and working hard to make things happen. Cody Berman was 6 months into his banking job when he decided he never wanted to work in corporate again. Sometime people take years to get the message, but this was obvious...but what could he do? Well he started a disc golf manufacturing company, started an Etsy business selling digital downloads for the holidays (Halloween party invites, letters to Santa, etc), lived below his means, and picked up unit after unit of real estate during the pandemic. He's now splitting his time traveling the world and fixing up an old lake house. How The E-Printables Dots Joined Up For Cody As he says "Side hustling has literally transformed my life. On January 31, 2019 I quit my corporate banking job when my side hustle income started to cover the cost of my lifestyle... and since then I've never looked back!" He spent the last month traveling through the Greek Islands while bringing in a six figure annual income with online business. Cody's goal is financial independence. When he isn't building his own financial independence, he blogs, podcasts, and runs his business helping others get Etsy businesses up and running through Gold City Ventures.

And of course with everything great success there are downsides to explore and encounter so what has been his biggest? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one Cody Berman
