This week, Michelle sits down with Codi Bates, the creative force behind some of Lawrence, Kansas’s most beloved food and art spaces, including The Burger Stand, Bon Bon, Taco Zone, and The Cider Gallery. As co-founder of Bates Co. with her husband, Codi shares how they built a family-run business rooted in community, intention, and resilience.
In this episode, Codi opens up about building wealth in an unconventional industry, navigating marriage and motherhood while running multiple businesses, and why trusting yourself is the most important investment you can make. From financial wins and hard lessons to creating a legacy through food and leadership, this conversation is packed with inspiration.
If you're building something of your own or dreaming of doing so, you’ll want to hear this one.
