Cody Sperber, widely known as the "Clever Investor," joins Travis for a candid conversation about wealth, reinvention, and the real truths behind entrepreneurship. As a self-made multi-millionaire, Cody built his reputation in real estate, flipping thousands of homes and creating a massive education business. Now, he’s shaking up the “boring” world of home services with his latest venture, Floor Daddy. Cody’s journey is a masterclass in scaling businesses, building brands, and, most importantly, finding fulfillment beyond the bank account.

On this episode we talk about:

– Cody’s transition from real estate education to launching Floor Daddy, a disruptive flooring business

– The philosophy behind stepping away from personal branding and why Cody chose a less “sexy” industry

– Building and scaling teams, finding the right partners, and recruiting top talent

– The importance of mentorship, investing in coaching, and collapsing time to avoid costly mistakes

– Lessons learned from personal setbacks—divorce, loss, and the power of inner work to drive business success

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Reinventing yourself and your business model can unlock new markets and opportunities—even in “boring” industries.

2. Investing in mentorship and assembling the right team is a shortcut to scaling and avoiding expensive mistakes.

3. True wealth and business success come from alignment—personal healing, strong relationships, and leading with authenticity.

Notable Quotes

– "I wanted to create a flooring business where it's like a Cybertruck had sex with Airbnb—a little bit of tech, something cool, cutting edge, and make it really loud and obnoxious. That's where Floor Daddy was born."

– "Money loves speed. I want to go fast. My vision with Floor Daddy is how do I scale this thing and get a $500 million exit."

– "You cannot give what you do not have. I couldn't give unconditional love to my family or my team if I didn't unconditionally love myself."
