Steal the Research System Behind a Forbes Top 10 Creator
Stop Pulling Content Out of Thin Air
This is the 4-step research system a Forbes Top 10 creator uses to study the competition, find what already works in your niche, and fill a content calendar before you film a single thing.
Your Audience is Already Telling You What They Want. You're Just Not Listening.
Most creators post an average of 25 pieces a week across six platforms and wonder why nothing hits.
Meanwhile, the top comments under every viral video in your niche are screaming out the next ten pieces of content. The data is sitting there, free, in public.
You don't need more creativity. You need a system for stealing what's already working.
Your Download Includes:
- The swipe file log itself. The same tracker Codie's team uses to break down the top 100 posts in a niche: thumbnail, hook, first 30 seconds, top comments, and who's sponsoring them (that last column is your future revenue list)
- The "steal the hook, not the content" framework, so you borrow what's proven without becoming a copycat
- The comment mining method that turns unanswered questions under viral videos into your next 30 scripts
- A problem bank template that captures your audience's pain in their exact words, so your content reads like you're inside their head
What People Say About Codie Sanchez
From corporate life to small business LIVING!
I (along with my husband) joined Contrarian Thinking about a year ago after being laid off from my fintech career of 30 years. I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. I assumed it might be “another one of those weekend events” that tries to pull you into something.A year later, I’m thrilled to say I was wrong!I closed on my first small business in February of 2026 and I couldn’t be happier. CT gave me the confidence, the tools, and the community to make the leap from corporate life into ownership.

From Overwhelmed to Confident
I can’t fully describe what being part of the Contrarian Thinking community has done for me. When I first started exploring acquiring a business, I was overwhelmed and genuinely didn’t think it was something I could actually do.Through the academy courses, access to professional advisors, and a community of entrepreneurial, like-minded peers, that completely changed. I now feel more confident than ever.

Contrarian First Taught Me How To Buy A Business...
Contrarian first taught me how to buy a business; then they taught me how to run a business. I've learned an insane amount in a short period of time, and I'm making more money and have more flexibility than I've ever had before. Thank you, Codie, and your awesome Contrarian team!

Real People. Real Buyers. Real Deals Helping You.
This is a fast moving high end educational experience. They are doing their level best to push and educate within a modicum of risk. The trainers are top notch and multi business owners.We have bought and sold 2 other businesses over the years and would have LOVED to have this organization on our team. We would have possibly got this done on our own but not nearly with as much certainty and confidence.

Contrarian Thinking Helped Me Buy A Business
Contrarian Thinking gave me the tools and support to buy a business. It was engaging, informative and helped connect me to resources I needed. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to buy a business. You will still need to put in the work.
