Manage episode 358785266 series 3336581
Cody Shaklee lives in Longmont, Colorado, a few miles northeast of Boulder. He’s a rare Colorodan who was not only born in the state but whose family has been there for multiple generations. Cody moved to New York City for film school and ended up working in restaurants for about a decade before moving back in 2014. He now owns a chain of laundromats in the Boulder area.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*the hard work of owning laundromats (it’s not passive income!)
*his adjustments to New York City as a guy from rural Colorado
*misperceptions of New York City and Colorado
*the geography of Colorado
*thoughts on decency including being kind, not judging people, listening and empathy
*the homesteading life of his grandfather’s childhood in the 1910s
Cody finds hope in his children and in his wife and from the ability to find hope almost anywhere you look.
