Episode 124: Built Not Given – Cody Novini on Discipline, Business, and Relentless Self-Mastery
In Episode 124 of The Fight Within, we sit down with Cody Novini—former U.S. Marine, entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and coach—to break down what it truly means to build success from the ground up.
Cody shares his journey of starting an HVAC company out of his garage, scaling it to over $11 million in annual revenue, and eventually selling the business. But the conversation goes far beyond numbers. Drawing from his Marine Corps background, Cody explains how discipline, standards, and personal accountability became the foundation for both his business success and his mental toughness.
We also dive into Cody’s passion for fitness and endurance, including his experiences running Ironmans and ultra marathons, and how pushing physical limits translates directly into leadership, clarity, and execution in life and business. Now, Cody is focused on coaching others, helping entrepreneurs and high performers develop winning strategies—mentally, physically, and professionally.
This episode is for anyone building something from nothing, chasing excellence, or learning how to win the fight within every single day.
🎧 Tune in for a powerful conversation on grit, growth, and earned success.
