What if you could build a successful business and still miss out on the life you were building it for? After spending a week in Italy, Cody Hofhine came home with a completely different perspective on success. It wasn’t about making more money, hiring more people, or building a bigger business. It was about the way we live, the people we impact, and what we choose to prioritize along the way.

In this episode, Cody shares five powerful lessons Italy reminded him of, from making people feel like family to building a legacy that lasts for generations.
