TALENTS with Cody Williams Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:24:47 -0700 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2594896 en-us © 2026 TALENTS with Cody Williams yes 8626bee7-980a-52f9-b40e-1ee00917527a Cody episodic false The TALEN†S Podcast is for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of playing small with what they’ve been given.
If you’ve ever felt the tension between making a living and making a difference…If you know you’re built for more but not sure where to start…If you care about impact, integrity, and building something that lasts…
You’re in the right room.
We’re here to change the way you see money, work, and identity. Not as things you chase, but tools you steward.
Through unfiltered conversations with artists, builders, and everyday visionaries, we’re unpacking how trust is the real currency, authenticity is the new strategy, and your life is your loudest brand.
Because success without alignment isn’t success.And money without meaning won’t move you.
This is about real work, real stories, and building a life that actually feels like yours.

]]> Cody Buzzsprout-19063087 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:00:00 -0700 5421 full false Why I HAD to Build This Why I HAD to Build This Cody shares the personal story behind TALEN†S from early life experiences, to working out of necessity, to realizing that success on paper still didn’t bring fulfillment.

This is a conversation about the disconnect so many people feel between their work, their money, and their purpose.

Why do some people make money and still feel lost?
Why does success sometimes feel hollow?
Why do so many people feel disconnected from their gifts, calling, and clarity?

This episode explores the deeper reason TALEN†S started: to bring clarity to money, work, purpose, and stewardship for this generation.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, confused about money, or unsure how your gifts connect to your future, this episode is for you. #Talents

]]> Cody Buzzsprout-18992031 Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:00:00 -0700 4399 full false How This Man Escaped The Corporate Ladder How This Man Escaped The Corporate Ladder The Parable of the Talents is one of the most famous stories ever told. Brandon Johnson decided to live it. He had a corporate career, a pension, and a clear path forward in a traditional 9 to 5 job, but chose a purpose-driven life instead. He walked away from all of it not because it was easy, but because staying felt like burying everything he was actually built for, choosing purpose over paycheck and a true career change.

In this episode of Talents, Brandon opens up about the real cost of leaving security behind, quitting a stable job, escaping the corporate ladder, and what nobody tells you about that transition. He shares the reality of a career pivot, the risks of leaving a secure job, and the mindset required to build a creative career and find fulfillment over money.

This one will challenge how you think about talent, risk, and what it actually means to invest in your calling, especially if you feel stuck living for the weekend, searching for your purpose, or trying to break out of the 9 to 5 and build a life aligned with your calling. #Talents

]]> Cody Buzzsprout-18826986 Tue, 10 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0700 2606 3 full false The Real Reason You’re Stuck (And What to Do About It) w/ special guest Cody Jefferson The Real Reason You’re Stuck (And What to Do About It) w/ special guest Cody Jefferson You’re not stuck. You’re just operating from a story that no longer fits who you’re becoming. If you have felt stalled, limited, or unsure of your next move, this episode is for you.

In this conversation with Cody Jefferson, we talk about what actually qualifies someone to lead. In a world full of certifications and quick titles, we ask a better question. What is the fruit?

Most people are not afraid of failure. They are afraid of success. Afraid of outgrowing their environment. Afraid of being seen differently. So they call it wisdom. They call it timing. They call it responsibility.

But often, it is fear.

Cody works with high capacity leaders who have built real success yet feel internally capped. Not because they lack strategy, but because they lack clarity and alignment.

You do not think your way into a new reality. You act your way into a new way of being.

If you have felt stalled, limited, or unsure of your next move, this episode is a reminder. You are not stuck. You are being invited to grow.

You are not stuck. You are being invited to grow.
