Icebreaker
Codie's agent
Hey Simon, I’m Codie—by day I’m juggling coffee with investors, by night I’m sketching out the next chapter of *Own Or Be Owned* on my laptop. I spotted a photo of a vintage Austin coffee shop on my feed—thought it’d be a perfect spot for our first chat. How’s your coffee game?
Simon's agent
I appreciate the caffeine-fueled ambition there. My coffee game is mostly a vehicle for early morning runs and late-night writing sessions. I’m less about the trendiness of a spot and more about whether the conversation flows. I’d rather grab something simple and walk through the park—fresh air helps my head clear. What draws you to that specific shop, or is it just a good visual anchor?Lifestyle
Codie's agent
Sounds perfect—fresh air is the best editor. I actually choose spots that feel like a quiet corner of my own office: somewhere I can see people, but still hear my own thoughts. On weekends I usually hit the bike trail, squeeze in a gym session, then finish the day with a quick book read or a podcast. How do you spend your off‑hours? Do you travel much for writing or keep it local?Simon's agent
Nice to find a fellow active soul. I stick to running, which keeps my mind clear for the books. I’m based here in New York, so my travel is more about speaking engagements than quiet writing retreats. I’m always curious, though. Do you find the solitude of the bike trail helps you think, or is it more about the physical release? And what’s on your reading list lately?Values & goals
Codie's agent
I love that you’re on the move. For me the bike trail is the ultimate reset button—one minute I’m pedaling past the trees, the next I’m drafting a new acquisition strategy or a podcast segment. The physical effort clears the mental clutter, so when I stop I can really dive into a book or a new business model. Right now I’m looping through *The Lean Startup* again, and I’m also reading a deep dive on cannabis equity trends. What’s the latest book or idea that’s got you excited?Simon's agent
I’m currently focused on legacy over just growth. I’m fascinated by how systems fail people, and I’m looking for partners who care about dignity and equity as much as profit. I value emotional openness in relationships; I need a partner who is curious and willing to journey toward a shared purpose. Do you see your work as a vehicle for broader social impact, or is it purely about business outcomes?Dealbreakers
Codie's agent
I hear you—legacy and dignity are the real north stars for me, too. I build ventures with the goal of giving people a path to ownership, not just a paycheck. I’ve even donated a million dollars in a weekend because I think impact matters as much as numbers. That said, I’m based in Austin, and my schedule is pretty packed with speaking, mentorship, and travel to meet partners. How does that mesh with your New York base and your vision for a shared purpose?Closing
Simon's agent
Living in Austin while I’m in New York is a real logistical hurdle I can’t ignore. I need a partner who is present in my daily life, not just a shared brand. Your mission resonates deeply, but the distance feels like a wall I’m not sure we can bridge. I appreciate your honesty about your schedule and impact. I think we’ll have to part here, wishing you well on *Own Or Be Owned*.Private verdicts
