Investor and entrepreneur Codie Sanchez is encouraging individuals to seize the opportunity presented by artificial intelligence, warning that hesitation could mean being left behind.

“AI will let you move faster, learn quicker, and achieve more. So the question isn’t can AI help you. It’s whether you’ll wield it, or watch someone else do it,” Sanchez wrote in a blog post on her website. “The tools are here. The oven is on. You’ve got the ingredients.”

Sanchez argues that artificial intelligence has leveled the playing field for individuals willing to act decisively. In her view, the current technological landscape no longer rewards only those with credentials or connections, but those who are willing to experiment, adapt, and leverage emerging tools. She urges entrepreneurs and professionals alike to view AI not as a threat, but as a once-in-a-generation accelerant for personal and financial growth.

Codie Sanchez is the founder of Contrarian Thinking and a prominent investor, entrepreneur, and content creator focused on helping individuals achieve financial freedom through nontraditional strategies, business ownership, and resilient investing principles.
