MFREE 109 Trailer # 5 with Cody Hofhine: Are You Creating a Culture That Leads Without You?

Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your support!

Cody Hofhine’s not just building a business—he’s building people. At home with his four kids, and inside his company, his focus is the same: don’t create followers. Build leaders.

In this clip, Hutch and Cody talk about how real leadership isn't about having a title or barking orders—it’s about developing others to think, lead, and grow. That shift changes everything. Less stress. Better relationships. Stronger teams. Even in the Marine Corps, Hutch saw firsthand how this mindset transformed how he led—and how his people responded.

The goal isn’t control. It’s growth. And it starts with how you show up every day. 💡

familiar with our dreams andgoals because a man or woman
that is unfamiliar with theirgoals and dreams will die

alignment with all the stuffthat's sitting in front of you.
So the more you can say, Hey,this is what I want, You just
gotta get clear on what youwant.
Yeah.
And the world is alreadypresenting that opportunity to
you day in and day out.
You just won't see it unless youknow what you want in life.

in the right room, whether it's,mostly virtually at this time in
the morning.
