  • Fave pod out there!

    I love this podcast, so freaking much! And literally everyone I suggest it to, loves it as well and consequently falls in love with Cody.

    Cody is so honest about being a creative business owner, about their lived experience as an artist and writer who also needs to pay a mortgage and all their triumphs and struggles along the way. Incredibly relatable and always full of resources to help you on your journey. Have been here since the Have Company days and always look forward to a new episode.

  • My Wednesday treat

    I have been following Cody Cook-Parrott for a few years now—reading their newsletter and listening to this podcast. In many ways they are a creative guidepost for me as they offer up copious amounts of wisdom from hard-won lessons, admirable vulnerability and transparency, generous resources, and super interesting guests. I love the way they and their guests delve into their own creative endeavors and I feel so inspired as I soak it all in.
