I chased the money… and felt nothing.

From Dreaming to Doing: The Real Reason We Chase Freedom In this heartfelt reflection from Medellín, Cody May shares what it really means to succeed—not the flashy flexes, but the quiet moments that make it all worth it. After years of hustle, heartbreak, and belief, he finally got to give back to the people who never stopped believing in him. This post dives deep into why we chase the numbers—and why real freedom starts when we define what those numbers mean. Plus, a look into the TRIS Sales Summit, where dreams turn into action.

I’m sitting here with my family in Medellín on this Sunday afternoon.

Just flew them in—business class.

Not to flex.

Not for a post.

But because it’s something I’ve dreamed of for years.

Not the “laptop-on-the-beach” dream.

Not the Rolex or revenue screenshot.

A real dream.

One that says:

Thank you for believing in me when no one else did.

See, my parents saw it all.

The late nights.
The heartbreak.
The moments I wasn’t sure I’d make rent, let alone a life.

They were there when I said,
“I’m leaving my job to bet on myself"

They didn’t always understand.

But they never stopped believing.

And today…I finally got to do something that made all those years feel worth it.

It’s got me thinking about why we really chase the deals.The $20k, $50k, $100k months.

Everyone tells me,

“Cody, I just want to do 2 deals a month.”

“I just want to hit $X/month.

”And I always ask:“Why?”“What will that money do for you?”


Most people don’t know.

They’ve never stopped long enough to dream beyond the number.

I used to be like that too.But when I finally got clear on what mattered—on what freedom actually meant to me—everything changed.

That’s why we’re doing the TRIS Sales Summit.Not just to teach you how to get the deal flow.

But to help you build the life that comes with it.

To give you the tools, the community, the confidence to go from “I want $20k/month” to “I just flew my parents in business class.”
