I grow contracting businesses on a risk free basis. 

Guaranteed. 

If you run a contracting business, I can help you generate 30-100+ high quality, exclusive roofing appointments every single month — or it’s free.

That's not a fancy marketing headline. It's a fact. 

And here's the best part..... 

I contractually guarantee ROI.

Why? 

Because I know you've most likely been burned by empty promises. And this isn't that.

You might be thinking to yourself, "...sounds too good"

Good news.... 

It's not. 

This system works and here's how: 

Step 1) 
We install high-converting funnels directly into your business that are proven to work for contractors all across the US

Step 2) 
We create and leverage scroll-stopping ads for your business that are proven to attract high quality homeowners that book themselves directly on your calendar

Step 3) 
You sit back and watch appointments start booking directly to your calendar within the first 24 hours of launching the campaign

That's what happens when you install this appointment booking system into your contracting company.

FYI - I operate on what we call "a pay on results basis", which means if you don't get what you're promised, you don't pay a penny. 

In fact… 

Here’s the best part: if you don’t get what’s promised, I’m pay you.

And yes… it’s out in writing.

The risk is on me, meaning I have a fire lit under my backside to get the job done. 

Now, you're probably skeptical, currently squinting your eyes and rubbing your chin to figure out if I'm full of it. 

But let's say for a minute and say you like the sound of this and want to learn more. 

If you do, you can use the below link to schedule a no-pressure conversation with me where I'll show you how it works.

Copy and paste this into your browser to schedule > https://calendly.com/seasonproofgrowth/introductory-call-dms 

I'd suggest grab a slot and see what it's all about, before someone else hunting the same prospects as you does… 😉

Winter Storm Fern is bearing down on half the USA.
I am moving all of my Monday clients to later in the week.
I am doing my Friday Well routine today so that tomorrow I can winter well.
and once again, I have zero wisdom to share with you.

Except this: 
Nothing you do at work (unless you are an ICU or ED provider) is so important you cannot stay home during a storm. So, spare those ICE and ED providers by staying home and off the roads. Encourage the same with your team.

And to all of you who go out into the storm to take care of those of us who stay in - Thank you!

So many or us are dreaming of the beach.
But it is Thursday.
In January.

That's it for today.
Cody

Give it one more day.
Turn that one last corner.
Never ever ever give up. 

So you failed 99 times. It only take one success.

All of these sayings sound amazing, are very inspirational.

But what do you tell the person who is exhausted from trying.
Exhausted from turning that one last corner to realize there is another corner.
Of wandering when "that day" will finally get here.

ANSWER: you don't TELL them anything.
You walk around that corner with them.
show up with your actions.

TL/DR: It is easy to preach, it is hard to join, but it is in the joining that we change the world.

So today, shut your mouth, lace up your shoes, and start walking around that one last corner with your friends and teams who are weary from the walk.

Cody Hand - Leadership Coach for Executives

Executive Coach and Fractional General Counsel for start ups and small businesses.

Cody Hand Counsel and Strategy

The Speakers Collaborative was created for you. 

In just two months we take you from amateur to professional all while doing something good for your community!

Why sit in the crowd when you have a story to tell?

The Speakers Collaborative

I chaired the committee that liaises with staff and the church community. During my chairmanship, we successfully led the church through 4 key staff transitions and the realignment of the family ministry. As chair, I also served on the Finance Committee, the Executive Committee, and the Church Council.

My mother started a non-profit camp and retreat center for deaf and hard of hearing children and teens in Texas. I have served on the board of directors as we have grown over the past 20+ years.

In order to bring the church into a productive conversation/action on racism, I co-authored and led small group curriculum to apply the principles of Micah 6:8 (He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) to the church's approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and anti-racism work.

I chair the PTA for our elementary school. During my leadership (coinciding with COVID restrictions) yielded greater member participation, increased fundraising, and more teacher engagement.

Friends, we need to chat.
Once upon a time two years ago
things were going well here. 

Linkedin was a thriving place.
Full of engagement and community.
I posted daily, and interacted more than that.
and it was rewarding.

And then something changed.
Maybe it is me.
Maybe not.

But it seems like the community we built has turned into a platform for non-stop ads, pitches, and conflicting advice.

Oh sure - there are still moments of good engagement.
But, to my 13,000 followers, do you even see my stuff through all the garbage?

Maybe it is me.
Maybe because my law practice doesn't depend on engagement here,
I am part of the noise.

But I don't think so.
Anyway - this is my post for the day.
Tomorrow we will talk about the difference between an LLC and a Corporation.

Yours,
Cody

AI will never fully replace humans.
AI can help with humans
but not replace.

There will always be something missing.
a heartbeat.
a spirit.
a soul.

I cannot imagine the clients I had last month.
All with terminal diagnoses,
working on their estates.
Sitting across from a heartless robot.
explaining, with no heart, the living will.

We aren't replaceable unless we allow it.
Cody Hand

You are going to keep making leadership decisions in the dark
until you tweak this one simple thing:

Stop guessing.

Don't know how your team is responding to your leadership?
- ask them!

Don't know how your customer is feeling about your product/service?
- ask them!

Don't know how your CEO or board are feeling about your performance?
- ask them!

You can change the outcome of your leadership without changing your workload. 

Change your tools.

When I work with executives, the first thing we do is ask those around for their honest opinion. 

and then once you ask - double down on the good stuff and change the changeable. Nobody likes to give feedback that isn't operationalized.

and BONUS: when we lead with our authentic selves, very little of what we need to change doesn't come naturally, which means change can be made and adapted to consistently.

Clarity is the oxygen of leadership. Without it, everyone is gasping.
Cody

Leadership ain't a popularity contest.
When you want to be popular among your team, you will overlook things that, in the end, will make you not only unpopular, but leading a really dysfunctional team.

Instead of going for popular, see to be fair, equitable, just, consistent, and dependable. Those traits are much more sustainable when it comes to building a team.

Thoughts?
Cody

Put yourself in their shoes.
I love me some Jesse Cole,
the founder and creator of banana ball.

He started a new form of baseball because he studied the fan behavior in traditional baseball.

He looked at what Walt Disney did in his parks. He rode the rides with the guests eyes, always looking for improvement in the experience.

In my law practice Cody Hand, LLC, in The Speakers Collaborative, in my travel business, and in my daily life, I always strive to put myself in shoes of my client. 

What is one more thing I can do to make this better?

Never ever ever stop seeing your service in the eye of the customer, and when you cannot see any more improvements, ask the customer.

Because the other guy is always looking to one up you, you should be one upping yourself.

What is one thing you can do today to one up yourself?
Cody

Here's an idea: Instead of making MLK Day a day of service where you post really inspiring quotes and graphics and pat yourself on the back for "doing your part," perhaps you can dedicate to creating a culture where every other day of the year your team is empowered to achieve their dreams and create a better society without fear of being labelled names or made to feel like they can't speak for fear of retribution.

You should lift until failure.
a #failurefriday post.

In the gym, if you are cranking out 4 sets of 10 reps, you aren't lifting heavy.
You're wasting time.
You should have a load heavy enough that you hit failure before then.
and as time goes on, getting to failure requires heavier loads as your body adjusts and the muscle builds.

In business, if you are cranking out the same results and hitting the same goals and growing between 0-2% - you aren't going hard enough.
You should be pushing the envelope and failing faster and more often.
Your team should be measured on how successfully they fail not how safely they meet lower standards.

You can either crank out light weights and never grow,
or you can lift to failure faster and see amazing results.

It's your call.
Cody

PS - I am not a fitness guru, I am a business lawyer and corporate strategist. This is not fitness or medical advice. It is a metaphor I thought about this morning at the gym. If you want fitness advice, hire a trainer. If you want to 10x your business with a badass lawyer and corporate strategist, hire me.

You don’t need a full-time lawyer.

You do need a lawyer who understands your business before something goes wrong.

Fractional General Counsels exist for companies that are:
- Growing
- - Hiring
- - - Signing contracts
- - - - Making real decisions

Waiting until there’s a problem is the most expensive way to use legal counsel.

If you never want to say, “I should’ve called you sooner,” this is for you.
DM and let's get started.

Estate planning isn’t about dying. 

It’s about:
 - Making things easier for your family
 - - Avoiding confusion during hard moments
 - - - Ensuring your wishes are followed.

A good plan removes uncertainty long before it’s ever needed. 

If this has been on your to-do list for a while, you’re not alone. 
Don't wait though. History is filled with stories of people who never take this off their to-do list, and then they pass suddenly and then it is too late.

If you pass without an estate plan, then the state gets to decide who is in charge of your life's work and where it goes. It can put your business and family in legal limbo for a long time.

If you become incapacitated without an estate plan, then it is up to the courts to decide and the burden often falls with your family to make those tough decisions.

So today - while you are in control - get your estate plan finalized.

it is good for you.
It is great for your family.
It ensures the work you do today lasts long after you are gone.

DM me and let's get started.
If you are in NC, I am your guy. If not, I have a network of professionals who will be glad to help!

Estate Planning

The Vitruvian man is dead.
Drawn by DaVinci to illustrate a perfectly proportioned human
He studied anatomy, dissected the dead, and measured the living.
It has, for centuries, been the picture of perfection.

Yet - that man didn't live forever.

Jack LaLanne was a modern fitness guru and nutrition expert.
He died too.

They all died.
We all will die.

So what are you going to do with this information?

Here is my list:
1. Be as healthy as I can be - simply because I want to enjoy and feel good as long as I can (100 years is the goal)
2. Be as kind as I can be - I don't want to waste a second on negativity.
3. Be as present as I can be - I want to be in the moment with those I love as often as possible.
4. Be as prepared as I can be - I have life insurance, disability insurance, and an amazing estate plan. My will is up to date and everyone know where it is and what it says.

What about you?
Cody

PS - the first three you can do starting today. Number 4 is something you need to turn to a pro to do. I Will get your will done in less than 30 days.

AI is not a replacement for a lawyer.
Legalzoom and Rocket lawyer do not protect you from risk.

As a Fractional General Counsel I see this all the time.
Potential client sends over the contract they've been using.

me - "who drafted this for you?"

client - "I had chatgpt do it."

me - "did chatgpt ask you any clarifying questions?"

client - "uhm...no?"

me - "were you aware that this contract is missing a key protection for you?"

client - ".................."

Most growing businesses don’t need a full-time general counsel.
But they do need someone (a human) thinking about legal risk before it becomes urgent.
Ongoing legal leadership that understands the business, the contracts, the people, and the decisions being made every day.

If you have put your life into your business, I help you:
 • Spot risk early
 • Create consistency across contracts and decisions
 • Get legal input before something becomes a problem

If legal questions are starting to touch everything you do, that’s usually the signal not the crisis.

Don't leave your life's work to the whim of an LLM,
Call me,

Most growing businesses and startups don’t need a full-time general counsel.

But they do need someone thinking about legal risk before it becomes urgent.
That’s the space fractional general counsel fills.

Not as a replacement for outside counsel
-> but as ongoing legal leadership that understands the business, 
--> the contracts, 
---> the people, 
----> and the decisions being made every day.

Fractional counsel helps companies:
 • Spot risk early
 • Create consistency across contracts and decisions
 • Get legal input before something becomes a problem
 • Avoid the false choice between “DIY” and “full-time GC”

If legal questions are starting to touch everything you do, that’s usually the signal, not the crisis.

It's #failurefriday again!

One of the most common failures I see in growing companies isn’t a bad product, a bad team, or bad intentions.

It’s assuming legal strategy can wait until there’s a problem.

Founders and CEOs are often told they have two options:
- Handle legal issues as they arise, or
- Hire a full-time general counsel

Most businesses aren’t ready for option two.

 And option one is where things quietly start to break.
 - Contracts get signed without context.
  - -  Employment decisions get made informally.
 - - - Risk gets managed reactively, if at all.

Nothing explodes right away.
 And that’s the problem.

By the time a dispute, termination, audit, or deal goes sideways, the issue isn’t just the event, it’s the lack of legal infrastructure leading up to it.

This is where fractional general counsel exists.
Not as a luxury.
 Not as overhead.
 
But as legal leadership that grows with the business.

Fractional counsel gives CEOs a way to:
 • Think through risk before it’s urgent
 • Create consistency across contracts and decisions
 • Have a legal partner who actually knows the business
 • Avoid the false choice between “DIY” and “full-time GC”

Most of the failures I see weren’t unavoidable.
 They were predictable - and preventable - with earlier involvement.
That’s not hindsight talking.
 That’s pattern recognition.

If you’re running a growing company and feel like legal issues are starting to touch everything, that’s usually the signal—not the problem.

DM and let's talk shop.

Social Saturday - 
Today I want to tell about a passion of mine, 
and that is ensuring our Military veterans have access to rewarding opportunities after they leave the military.

For so long we have just assumed they would get a civilian job.
But we haven't made it easy.
No degree for some = door closed even though they have hands on experience that is invaluable.
Others have combat experiences that have created health issues we aren't prepared to address.

Whatever "it" is, we have failed at providing resources to the humans who have put their lives on the line for our freedoms.

My buddy Adam Peters is building something amazing. As a combat vet himself, he knows full well that the transition is difficult.
He also knows how to, as he says, un-f*ck the transition.

Head over to Adam's profile, check out his work, and dedicate to hiring a vet for your next openning. 

Happy Saturday!

Scott Kelly Breaks His Silence After His Resume Went Viral at a Jonas Brothers Concert

It was a pleasure to record this conversation with Ariella Cohen Coleman 🤩. We talked about some pretty deep stuff, things that they don't tell you about when you say "I wanna be a lawyer!"

But here's the deal:
It is time to address flaws in the system.
The machine that takes in young people, promises them riches and honor,
then spits them out after a few years, loaded with mountains of debt that has to be repaid.

Those that don't get spit out end up married to big law and count on their earnings to nurture their loved ones.

It doesn't have to be this way.
We can both zealously represent our clients
while also knowing and honoring our own worth
while also bringing humanity to the practice of law.

It starts with being willing to call out the problem and scrapping the traditions that aren't essential to law but are the drivers of the problems.

Listen.
Even if you aren't a lawyer or have a lawyer in your family, the lessons apply to everyone.

I knew immediately that I liked Cody Hand. 

We connected initially because of his vocal support for Israel and his active voice against Jew-hate. 

And then I got to know him more, and learned about his own lawyer well-being journey.

About his experience with self-worth, mental health, and family. 

About the mental load of constantly saying "no" to and limiting his clients and how that experience over many years broke him down, and led him to going out on his own to do things in a way that feels and works better for him and his clients.

And we talked about how everyone has a story, and every story can change someone's life and can even change the world.

Listen to my conversation with Cody on The Wellness Esquire podcast - linked in the comments!

A client once told me:
 “I didn’t realize how much stress this was causing me until it was done.”

That’s estate planning in a nutshell.
-> The work is technical.
--> The benefit is emotional.

CTA:
Peace of mind is worth planning for.

Failure is just a draft.
I read this the other day from the account DeskPresso - link in the comments.

In writing we call it the sloppy first copy - just get something on paper.
In legal we call it first pass - give you something to redline.

In business we traditionally called it a meeting with HR.
Don't fail - for if you do we will make an example of you.

But what if we treated it like the first draft?
My buddy and colleague once said "it's a nonfatal error."
and that rang true. Most errors are nonfatal. 
So why do we make such a big deal of them.

Fail.
Fail Fast.
Learn Lessons.
Repeat.
Fail differently.
Fail differently faster.
Learn more Lessons.
Repeat.

What are you doing today that could be even better if you just shot for the moon, and failed, but learned and improved?

If I led your company, I would reward failure and challenge safety.
It is after all, just a draft.
