FAQ

Where will the event be held?

This is a virtual live event you can join from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and the drive to become an owner. We’ve designed it to be highly interactive despite being virtual – you’ll be networking, breaking into small groups, and getting real-time feedback.

How interactive is this event?

This isn’t a passive webinar where you just watch and take notes. Each day includes:

  • Talking to deal advisors LIVE
  • Win a chance to have your deal analyzed live on air
  • Learn from real deal reviews of your peers

How is this different from Codie’s book or free content?

While Codie shares valuable insights freely, Main Street Millionaire Live is your complete roadmap to ownership. You’ll get live deal analysis, direct access to our expert deal team, interactive workshops, and the 10% of our playbook we’ve never shared publicly. Plus, you’re not just learning – you’re doing the work in real-time with our guidance.

Can I bring my spouse/partner?

Absolutely! We encourage you to include your partner in this journey. One ticket allows you both to attend together from the same device. If you want your own log-ins or will be on multiple devices you’ll need to buy multiple tickets.  Having your partner aligned and excited about business ownership can be a game-changer for your success.

What’s the time commitment each day?

We’ll kick things off at 11 am ET, with a slightly different end time. Check the agenda (above on this page) for the end times for each day. We include regular stretching and lunch breaks to keep you energized and focused. We know you’re busy – we’ve packed maximum value into each moment you’re with us!

What if I can’t attend all three days?

While we recommend trying to attend as much as possible for the full learning experience. It’s the only time Codie’s doing an event like this that you can attend from the comfort of your own home. Send the kids or dogs out for the day, put up that do not disturb sign and dig in as much as you can!

Is this suitable for complete beginners?

Our expert team specializes in making business buying accessible – no fancy MBA required. We’ll teach you the exact language, tools, and frameworks you need to confidently evaluate and purchase your first business.

What if I’m already a business owner?

Many of our most successful students are current business owners looking to expand through acquisition. You’ll learn how to leverage your existing business experience to spot opportunities, structure deals, and build a portfolio of profitable businesses. Plus, we have a special bonus session specifically for current owners on scaling and growth strategies.

What’s your refund or transfer policy?
