Hi! Nice to have you stop by. I'm Cody, although some friends call me "Schobes". Little bit about me, I consider myself to be a scholar and tinkerer at heart. Whether it's exploring a new topic or perspective, finding new ways to approach things, or finding that little element of truth in everything, I like to explore and find those things that resonate with me. However, it's also important to me to "not be full of garbage", as I like to put it, so I often like to take a sledgehammer to my own ideas and beliefs to make sure they don't collapse under pressure.From there, usually I like to bring it back to other people. It's important to me to help people learn how to be better, to be curious and open to the world around them. It's been a big part of my journey in life, having dissected and healed almost every last negative thought, feeling, and memory I've ever had. Curiosity for oneself and the world, and a desire to love and understand oneself is critical in that area.Now and these days, I'm currently working on boosting my skillset so that I can explore other things. I LOVE acting, and have been doing daily voice exercises to improve my voice quality and pronunciation. I've also been training to become a surfer, and have been exploring a lot of unique exercises to become better and stronger, including breakdancing for agility, dancing for core and stability, and doing stairclimber-style workouts in nature. Other than that, always trying to study something new, learn a new skill, and make myself at least just a liiiiitle better than I was yesterday, and will be today.Now, to answer some questions:Q: What's with the background picture?A: Dragonball was important to me growing up, and the Turtle Hermit School's philosophy of martial arts and life is now my life philosophy too. Here's a bit more explanation on what each of those five tenants mean:Move Well – Get your body moving, get active, keep moving forward in lifeStudy Well – Do the work to have a great mind and a loving heartPlay Well – Allow yourself the pleasure, joy and privilege to live in the momentEat Well – Eat and Drink GOOD, Fuel Your Body and Growth RIGHTRest Well – Prioritize rest and healing your mind, body, and spiritQ: Why do you have a profile like THIS on LinkedIn?A: This is my most openly loving and authentic self. Would you prefer I put out a fake version of me, have you put in the effort to reach out to me, only to find out that I'm not the kind of person you were looking for?
