Why I HAD to Build This

YOU’RE SO STRONG- She Became a Widow, a Single Mom, and a Solo Business Owner Overnight

My next guest is Leslie Harter-Berg! She Became a Widow, a Single Mom, and a Solo Business Owner Overnight. No warning. No diagnosis. No time to prepare. Just a pool in Palm Springs, two kids under three, and a suitcase she didn't unpack for two years. She built a company anyway. Raised her boys. Wrote a book. And made me laugh harder than I expected to in a conversation about grief. Her book is called You're So Strong. It's not a compliment. It's the thing everybody said when they didn't know what else to say. And Leslie spent years trying to live up to it before she figured out that was never the assignment. This episode is about grief. It's about creative work. It's about what it actually looks like to build something when the person you built it with is gone. And yes, there's a tampon story. It's important. Get the book. Get the audiobook. Get both and read along at. Trust me on that one. 😉 You're So Strong is available now. https://a.co/d/05m2IrWO Follow Leslie:  Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/leslieharterberg/  and her work at: hardercreative.com  vidsforwids.com  Follow Cody Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/ [https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/] YouTube →https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams [https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams] Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/codynow [https://www.facebook.com/codynow] Free Resources What’s Your Budget Style?

He Stopped Waiting for Open Doors and Built a Multi Million Dollar Company

In this powerful conversation, entrepreneur Eric Knopf shares the mindset, faith, and strategy behind building a company valued in the nine figures. From growing up with parents who never crushed his dreams, to surviving COVID wiping out revenue overnight, Eric unpacks what it truly takes to build something lasting. He challenges the idea of waiting for open doors, arguing instead that every breakthrough in his life came from pounding on closed ones. Eric dives into the relationship between faith and entrepreneurship, why peace should be the reward of bold action rather than the prerequisite, and how separating identity from outcomes unlocks the freedom to take real risks. He also shares how Web Connects turned a crisis into record-breaking growth by finding an untapped market no one else saw. Whether you are just starting out or scaling a team, this conversation is packed with honest insight on fear, culture, calling, and what it means to build a business that genuinely transforms people's lives. #Talents Follow Cody Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/ [https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/] YouTube →https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams [https://www.youtube.com/@CodyDWilliams] Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/codynow [https://www.facebook.com/codynow] Free Resources What’s Your Budget Style?
