Hey what's up Cody! Just wanted to drop a quick thank you. In November you made a post about a 50k in 50 days. I took up the challenge and went to town. Sure didn't hit 50k haha, but December was the best month I've had. Appreciate the content and excited to keep following along. .

Since working with Cody over the last few months, I've refocused my market and “niched down” my service offerings. He has also challenged me to take more chances and embrace failure as part of the process. Previously I had been experimenting blindly, but with Cody I've gained clarity and confidence in how to strategically grow my business while keeping my faith and family front and center.

Video transcript: Working with Cody Lutz as my business coach has been transformative for my company, Tenfold Consulting. He helped me identify the core of what I truly want to do, delivering incredible value to CEOs through AI coaching strategy while guiding me to package my services, refine offers and clarify my messaging. In just two months, I landed a retainer client that more than paid for his coaching. What sets Cody apart is his faith centered approach. As a strong man of God. He encourages deeply, challenges thoughtfully, and celebrates wins like a true partner, investing in both my business growth and personal development. If you're a business owner ready to attract high value clients and build with purpose, I highly recommend Cody. He's been a massive blessing. Thank you Cody.

“Should I chase my dreams, or be present?” That was the tension I brought into a 1:1 coaching session yesterday. I’ve been wrestling with what an “impossible year” actually requires. Go all-in on the future? Or let go of that pressure and be fully content with what’s already in front of me? The real trap wasn’t choosing one. It was thinking they were mutually exclusive. What we uncovered: -I wasn’t stuck because of lack of ambition. -I wasn’t stuck because of lack of gratitude. -I was stuck because I hadn’t defined the constraints. “Chase” without structure becomes scattered effort. “Presence” without direction becomes drift. Structure turns ambition into progress. The shift wasn’t motivational. It was strategic. We clarified: -What the 12-month version of progress actually looks like. -The constraint: sales. Not execution. -And how to intentionally over-subscribe demand. “Impossible” doesn’t mean reckless. It means focused. Focused on eliminating the real constraint. Grateful for the clarity, Cody Lutz

Cody’s the real deal. As an entrepreneur with big family and countless decisions each day, I didn’t realize how badly I needed a place to work through my most important, strategic thoughts, especially around faith, family, and business. One call with Cody brought way more clarity than I expected. I was facing a financially and emotionally weighty decision, and his questions helped me see the situation through the right lens. He didn’t rush. He gave space for what mattered most to rise to the surface. As a result, I took action: I became more present and intentional with my wife and kids I had difficult conversations from a stronger, calmer frame My prayer life was reignited through the faith-based topics we explored To say Cody has a gift is an understatement. I highly recommend working with him.

Cody is the best listener I have ever met. I was zapped on energy, and getting into a self-shame loop which initially drove me to Cody. I had been speaking to my coaches about this, but there was never enough time to dig deep enough. 1 hour in to our first session we found it. I had been putting far too much on my plate and then comparing myself to what I DIDN'T do versus what I did do. Getting the reassurance from Cody of how normal this is with recommendations on how to fix it for good. By session 2 Cody instantly recognised my change in energy and mood. If this resonated at any level, reach out to Cody. If you lack a great listener in your life who gets your struggles who has been through it personally and seen countless others like you too... then book the call. I found it very eye-opening. (And fun!)

Cody is a truly unique person, leader, and coach with a special servant's heart. We met through his offer for a journaling assignment and initial life-changing conversation at a period of my life in which I was confused and frustrated with some things personally and professionally. Cody was selfless in listening, insightful in his questions, and loving in offering an outsider's perspective that I had not received through working with others in this profession. Cody helped me uncover some lies that I was telling myself and suggested some helpful journaling prompts to help me explore what was holding me back - and helped me unburden myself from some history. His Christian worldview was important to helping me during that period. We also explored some entrepreneurial ideas that I had been considering and helped me formulate some action plans for the future. I would highly recommend Cody if you are a Christian man who has a passion to lead well at home and in the marketplace - if you need some help to unlock your burdens to be free and become all that God intended you to be, or to take your business to the next level. I am so happy that we met.

I reached out to Cody because I had a big goal, an entrepreneurial endeavor that I had been talking about, planning for, and dreaming of for years, but had never taken action on. Cody promised a life changing conversation (which in all honestly I had a 0% expectation of him achieving), but I was intrigued by his readiness to serve me as powerfully as he could. In a single call Cody achieved what he promised, he dug in and unlocked several things that had been holding me back, and he got me to set deadlines and take action. Shortly after our call I signed a lease on a space for my business. I've been working with Cody for over 4 months now and he has provided so much insight, ideas, challenge, and energy into the process as I set plans in motion and work toward opening my business (a Community Cafe in Chicago) . Cody is a pretty intense dude, and I have realized just how much I needed and have benefitted from his outside energy and focus into what I'm building. If your dreaming about or working towards building something meaningful and impactful, connect with Cody - Its the surest way I know to supercharge your dream with real, tangible results.

Cody is a phenomenal business coach. He's amazing at reenergizing your mind and motivational faculties by asking insightful questions that help YOU think deeper, in ways you never would have if you hadn't been asked them. His knowledge of business, productivity, and psychology is as deep as an Ozark spring and presented in clear, understandable terms that anyone with half a brain could understand. I recommend Cody wholeheartedly to anyone who is serious about doing BIG things and bringing their business to the next level.

Logan (my husband) had the opportunity to work with Cody and really appreciated the experience. The prompts, pre-work, and the session itself were incredibly helpful and gave him much-needed clarity on the best next step for our business. That clarity alone was worth all the time and energy invested. Cody is great to work with—thoughtful, practical, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed. He’s a super helpful resource and someone we’d highly recommend as a business coach.

Cody did something important in my life: he not only believed (and forced me to believe) that I was sitting on a "mountain of value" for other people, but he made it his priority to MAKE SURE I would do something about it. And that's why I've loved working with Cody. Because when I have a session with Cody, I don't just learn. I believe, I get motivated, I ACT. After deciding to work with Cody, I've started *doing* things that I've been only *talking* about for years. He's helped me move the ideas in my head to something tangible that is adding value to people. Cody might have bad days, but you wouldn't know it. He shows up with the same energy, fire, and passion to every session. He's always sharing resources whenever they come to mind. He seems to have a deeply vested interested in my success. Hard to envision anyone regretting their decision to work with him—he's been a gamechanger for me!

Working with Cody helped me to see blind spots and take action. I am more courageous and full of conviction because of our sessions together. If I hadn’t worked with Cody, I would have certainly fell back into a 9-5 job that would have been soul-sucking. Instead, I became clearer on what my purpose is and have taken a step of faith into entrepreneurship. Cody asks insightful questions and will help you create a plan to execute on the insights. COACHING DOES NOT FIX YOU IF YOU LACK WILL POWER TO FOLLOW THROUGH. Don’t work with Cody if you think that a coach will fix it for you. But if you’re ready to do what it takes to get to the next level personally or professionally, he will be a great coach to help you get there.

Working with Cody was very transformative. His ability to ask deep, thought-provoking questions opened my eyes to perspectives I hadn’t previously considered, both in business and in life. Cody’s approach goes beyond traditional executive coaching. He genuinely cares, listens intently, and creates a space where you can reflect on your true purpose and passions. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge your thinking, inspire you, and help you gain profound clarity, Cody is your guy.

The best performers in any field use a coach, though we tend to think of sports, golf especially comes to mind, yet it is easy to put that off in our professional lives. Why is that? Regardless, if you, like me, were hesitating, know that Cody asks the difficult AND impactful questions that will get you unstuck, the ones that cause you to decide to move forward and make the progress you want. There were a couple of areas that I knew I needed to work on, and Cody's direct questions, when I answered them truthfully, ultimately for my benefit and that of my family, made a significant impact in both areas. Perhaps you're unsure about the areas where you need to make specific changes to grow yourself and your business. Cody will ask questions that help you discover it and make consistent forward progress. Schedule that call with him now!

I had tried everything (or so I thought) to spread the news about my micro workout app. I usually have plenty of ideas, but I had all but given up. Working with Cody truly changed my mindset and direction. In one session, I not only reduced my stress levels, but Cody came up with a plan for me to take action on. Things have been different since then. I am reinvigorated and on a more narrow path. I'm moving forward instead of sideways (or backwards). I have trouble focusing, but working with Cody has helped me to focus on what the real needle-movers are. Cody is generous yet blunt. His creativity and courage are greater than that of 10 men.

As a longtime iron athlete and coach, and fitness trainer, I'm happy to make this unsolicited recommendation of Cody Lutz and his work. What Cody recommends in both strength and nutrition is what I've seen work for hundreds of folks, both military and civilian; perhaps even better, his approach focuses on the basics of functional strength--muscles you can and will use every day. Lift the couch (or the piano) on moving day? Lift your kids? Lift an elderly person who's fallen? Cody and his approach will help you make all of these happen, and more. And, he's not just there as a coach--he's there as a mentor and motivator for hyper-busy guys who often would otherwise lack the time and focus to make functional fitness happen. Listen to this man, and follow his lead!

Had the pleasure of connecting with Cody Lutz today. He's transitioning into life coaching, and his enthusiasm is contagious. What stood out most was his ability to ask the kind of question that stops you in your tracks — the kind that doesn't just scratch the surface, but cuts straight to the heart of what you're feeling. When he asked me, "How are you really doing in your business right now?" My answer surprised even me. I told him: "Honestly, I’m realizing just how stuck and trapped I’ve been feeling lately." That moment of awareness was powerful. And then it clicked — this is exactly how my ideal clients feel too. The people I’m meant to serve are likely carrying the same weight, the same invisible pressure. Cody helped me see that. I walked away lighter, clearer, and more connected to my purpose. Highly recommend.

Cody practices what he preaches. Where most coaches will gun for the sale with obvious intent, Cody models a servanthood approach with uncommon grace. During our 2 hour intro call, he offered accurate yet gentle critique regarding my business. His conversational and sympathetic posture encouraged a dialogue that has already yielded results. Through key questions he cut through the noise and helped shine a spotlight on the true pain points I was dealing with. From here, he offered practical and accessible advice to correct the course. For anyone looking to get a fresh, actionable insight about their business - schedule a call with him. You will not regret it!

It's rare that you come across someone who is exactly what they promote on their platform. What I have learned of Cody, is that integrity, character, and the man that you say you want to be, needs to line up with the actions that are taken in the day to day. Not only in public, but also in private. Cody and I had a call that flipped my perspective, value placement, perceived care, and rooted fear source on its head. I left the call inspired to show up as the man I claimed I wanted to be, and never looked back. From that call, check ins, texts, phone calls, and running inspiration that came to him, I have benefited from feeling as tho I have a cheerleader, advocate, and brother in my corner. THAT is something you cannot put a price on! BROTHERS, if you want to have your life changed, hit up Cody, and I promise you, you will be better for it!
