About this episode
Cody McGuffie discusses the importance of building online businesses and the risks of relying on traditional employment in the evolving economy.
How can you build a business you actually own before jobs, platforms, and algorithms make that decision for you? For that and more, follow us here and subscribe to our YouTube channel! In this solo episode of Built Online, Cody McGuffie, founder and CEO of EverBee, explains why the next five years will reward people who build online businesses, not just work inside them. He breaks down why relying on one paycheck is riskier than most people think, how ownership creates real leverage, and why one-person companies powered by AI and simple systems will define the next economy.
