In this conversation, Cody Hofhine shares how shifting from managing people to developing leaders changed everything. As a dad of four and a business owner, his goal is simple: empower others to lead—because when you do that, your team grows, your family thrives, and you stop being the bottleneck.

Hutch reflects on how this mindset transformed his leadership in the Marine Corps. Less barking, more coaching. Less control, more freedom—for everyone.

Cody Hofhine:

I want to build leaders. I don't wanna build followers, I wanna build leaders. So I'm making sure I'm doing everything that I can do each and every day to just build leaders in the organization. In my company, in my family, and as I do so I know they have a better chance of going on to build successful lives. Man, that is such a powerful task that you've taken on. I noticed that especially I've been in the Marine Corps for 27 years, Thank you, by the way, for your service. appreciate the support, brother. When I learned the importance of building the leaders around you, because when you think about the hierarchy of military rank structure, it's more so the leaders and followers. But when I learned from John Maxwell that it's important to develop the leaders around you, it was such a transformational thought process. Change for me. I noticed a conversation between myself and my marines change drastically, which also improved the quality of relationship we've been able to create. because now I'm not just barking orders I'm now, coaching them into their greatness. And what I see start happening is that my workload becomes significantly Less because I was pretty much training myself out of a job, and it's not because I didn't want to work. It's now that I have more people who are thinking leadership instead of just followers or managers.
