]]> 1639 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Building a High-Ticket Coaching Business with Zander Fryer Zander Fryer is the CEO and founder of High Impact Coaching, one of Inc. 500’s fastest-growing companies. After leaving a successful engineering career at Cisco, Zander built a multi-million dollar coaching business, generating over $20 million in revenue and helping his clients earn more than $350 million worldwide. Known for his no-BS approach to business and coaching, Zander specializes in helping entrepreneurs create impactful, profitable coaching offers that actually sell. On this episode we talk about: Why Zander walked away from a high-paying corporate job (and the mindset shift that made it happen) The fastest way to get your first coaching client (without a website or business setup) Why most coaches fail with their offer—and how to fix it The power of “identity-based decisions” vs. “consequence-based decisions” How to create high-ticket offers people actually want to buy Real examples of unconventional coaching niches that are crushing it Key Takeaways Zander shares the exact moment he quit his corporate job—and how one question from a mentor completely reframed how he viewed time, purpose, and risk. Instead of waiting for clarity, he took immediate action, investing heavily in mentorship and learning by doing. He breaks down why most aspiring coaches overcomplicate everything except the one thing that matters most: the offer. From confusing messaging to trying to “sound unique,” he explains why simplicity, clarity, and market demand always win. The conversation also dives into high-ticket coaching, why starting with premium pricing can actually be easier, and how human connection remains a key differentiator—even in the age of AI.

]]> 2142 SOLO | Make Money By Using Interviews To Get In Any Room, part 1 On this solo episode, host Travis Chappell breaks down how he’s used his podcast—and now broader interview content—as an “access machine” to land invitations into high-level rooms he once felt wildly underqualified to be in. He shares real stories, including a private dinner in Las Vegas with a near–billionaire founder and a team interviewing Tom Brady, to illustrate how consistent interviewing builds relationships, opens doors, and compounds over years. If you’re an entrepreneur, side hustler, or creator who feels overlooked despite your skill set, this episode shows you how to use interviews strategically to connect with anyone. On this episode we talk about: How a simple podcast interview in 2018 led to years of events, dinners, and high-level introductions in Las Vegas and beyond. Why your show—podcast, YouTube series, or short-form interview format—is an excuse to initiate conversations that would otherwise never happen. The difference between a “media company” podcast and a “business development” podcast and why most entrepreneurs should choose the latter. The guest ladder strategy: moving from tier one contacts at your level to progressively higher-profile guests using social proof and introductions. How to prepare for big-name interviews so you earn referrals, intros, and deeper friendships instead of wasting a rare opportunity. Top 3 Takeaways Your show is an access tool, not just a content machine. When you treat your podcast or interview series as a way to build relationships, it becomes a vehicle for entering rooms, deals, and networks you’d never reach through cold outreach alone. Climb the guest ladder with courage and volume. Start with people at or just above your level, ask them for introductions, then leverage those names as social proof when reaching up to bigger guests—sending 100 thoughtful DMs beats quitting after three. Earning repeat access requires real preparation. High-level guests introduce you to their network only if your interview feels thoughtful, relationship-driven, and respectful of their time, not like a surface-level clip grab. Notable Quotes “Your podcast is not just a content machine—it’s an access machine if you can use it correctly.” “We don’t want to solve for luck; we want to solve for what will work over a long period of time and then cross our fingers and hope we get lucky along the way.” “The courage to send the first message is often the only thing standing between you and conversations with high-quality people.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1942 SOLO | Make Money By Doing The Simple, Science-Backed Stuff On this solo episode, host Travis Chappell breaks down five self-help practices that are actually backed by data instead of wishful thinking and prosperity-gospel fluff. He pulls from research in psychology, public health, and longevity science to separate simple, high-ROI habits from trendy hacks that barely move the needle. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by morning routines, supplements, and cold plunges, this conversation will help you refocus on what truly improves your mental, physical, and financial decision-making capacity. On this episode we talk about: Why regular physical activity is one of the highest-ROI levers for mood, resilience, and long-term brain and body health. How mindfulness and meditation (in many different forms) reduce stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms while pulling you back into the present. The role of high-quality, restorative sleep as a performance enhancer and mood stabilizer—not a luxury. Why strengthening social connections is as critical as nutrition and exercise for both mental and physical health. How gratitude and cognitive reframing act as low-cost, repeatable “mental workouts” that buffer you against stress and negativity. Top 3 Takeaways Simple behaviors beat complex hacks. Regular movement, decent sleep, basic mindfulness, social connection, and gratitude are the science-backed foundations that drive most of your long-term health and happiness—not exotic routines or supplement stacks. Modality doesn’t matter as much as consistency. Whether it’s walking, golf, pickleball, journaling, or silent reflection, the key is finding sustainable ways to move your body, be present, connect with people, and notice what’s good in your life. Your emotional state is often a lifestyle signal. Before you make big decisions or react in anger, check the basics—are you sleep deprived, isolated, inactive, or fixated only on problems instead of also on what’s working? Notable Quotes “If exercise were a pill, it would be the blockbuster of the century.” “Ultimately, the only thing that’s actually real is the present moment—the future doesn’t exist yet and the past doesn’t exist anymore.” “You can’t expect to live a great life when you’re getting poor quality sleep all the time.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices On this solo episode, host Travis Chappell breaks down five self-help practices that are actually backed by data instead of wishful thinking and prosperity-gospel fluff. He pulls from research in psychology, public health, and longevity science to separate simple, high-ROI habits from trendy hacks that barely move the needle. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by morning routines, supplements, and cold plunges, this conversation will help you refocus on what truly improves your mental, physical, and financial decision-making capacity.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Why regular physical activity is one of the highest-ROI levers for mood, resilience, and long-term brain and body health.

  • How mindfulness and meditation (in many different forms) reduce stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms while pulling you back into the present.

  • The role of high-quality, restorative sleep as a performance enhancer and mood stabilizer—not a luxury.

  • Why strengthening social connections is as critical as nutrition and exercise for both mental and physical health.

  • How gratitude and cognitive reframing act as low-cost, repeatable “mental workouts” that buffer you against stress and negativity.

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Simple behaviors beat complex hacks. Regular movement, decent sleep, basic mindfulness, social connection, and gratitude are the science-backed foundations that drive most of your long-term health and happiness—not exotic routines or supplement stacks.

  2. Modality doesn’t matter as much as consistency. Whether it’s walking, golf, pickleball, journaling, or silent reflection, the key is finding sustainable ways to move your body, be present, connect with people, and notice what’s good in your life.

  3. Your emotional state is often a lifestyle signal. Before you make big decisions or react in anger, check the basics—are you sleep deprived, isolated, inactive, or fixated only on problems instead of also on what’s working?

Notable Quotes

  • “If exercise were a pill, it would be the blockbuster of the century.”

  • “Ultimately, the only thing that’s actually real is the present moment—the future doesn’t exist yet and the past doesn’t exist anymore.”

  • “You can’t expect to live a great life when you’re getting poor quality sleep all the time.”

Pam brings deep financial expertise working with hundreds of businesses, offering a behind-the-scenes look at revenue, profit margins, and cash flow strategy. Together, they explore what it really takes to build a profitable content-driven business—and the calculated risks required to scale it. On this episode we talk about: Breaking down $140K in Q1 podcast revenue and where it came from Why podcast advertising is the primary (and most profitable) revenue stream The impact of cash flow timing and delayed payments on financial reporting Balancing high-margin content businesses with long-term scalability How entrepreneurs should evaluate risk using data, goals, and scenario planning Top 3 Takeaways High-margin businesses like podcasting can be extremely profitable—but often lack predictability without reinvestment into growth.

]]> 1482 CO-HOST | Make Money By Becoming the Brand (Not Just the Ad Space) On this episode, host Travis Chappell is joined in-studio by his producer Eric for a candid breakdown of how influencer marketing has evolved from wild-west swipe-up deals to long-term brand partnerships and creator-led product companies. They unpack why “buying trust” is the real asset behind celebrity endorsements, how brands and creators both burned themselves in the first big influencer bubble, and what actually works now if you’re trying to monetize an audience. On this episode we talk about: Why brands pay celebrities and athletes: they’re not buying reach, they’re buying trust with an audience. How early influencer deals (like Kardashians promoting tea) turned pennies into multi-six-figure revenue and sparked an overspending bubble. Why follower count alone no longer converts, and why alignment between creator, product, and audience matters more than raw views. The shift from big celebrity endorsements to UGC and niche influencers as brands take traffic “in-house” and cut costs. How creators can move beyond one-off sponsorships into equity, co-branded products, and launching their own brands (MrBeast x Jack Link’s, Prime, Sour Strips, etc.). Top 3 Takeaways The real leverage in influencer marketing is audience trust, not just attention; views without trust rarely translate into sales anymore. Both brands and creators need to evolve past short-term sponsored posts toward deeper, longer-term partnerships or creator-owned products with actually good R&D-backed offerings. If you’re a creator, your most valuable asset is your built-in test group of loyal fans—use it to launch or co-create products instead of relying solely on unpredictable ad deals. Notable Quotes “They’re not buying followers; they’re buying trust. That’s why Nike spends tens of billions on athletes—they’re literally paying to borrow the relationship those people already have with their audience.” “Your brand will get people to try something once, but it will never make up for a bad product—if the product sucks, trust erodes and the sales die.” “Influencer marketing isn’t dead; it just graduated. If you want to make real money now, you can’t just be the ad space—you have to become part of the brand.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices On this episode, host Travis Chappell is joined in-studio by his producer Eric for a candid breakdown of how influencer marketing has evolved from wild-west swipe-up deals to long-term brand partnerships and creator-led product companies. They unpack why “buying trust” is the real asset behind celebrity endorsements, how brands and creators both burned themselves in the first big influencer bubble, and what actually works now if you’re trying to monetize an audience.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Why brands pay celebrities and athletes: they’re not buying reach, they’re buying trust with an audience.

  • How early influencer deals (like Kardashians promoting tea) turned pennies into multi-six-figure revenue and sparked an overspending bubble.

  • Why follower count alone no longer converts, and why alignment between creator, product, and audience matters more than raw views.

  • The shift from big celebrity endorsements to UGC and niche influencers as brands take traffic “in-house” and cut costs.

  • How creators can move beyond one-off sponsorships into equity, co-branded products, and launching their own brands (MrBeast x Jack Link’s, Prime, Sour Strips, etc.).

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. The real leverage in influencer marketing is audience trust, not just attention; views without trust rarely translate into sales anymore.

  2. Both brands and creators need to evolve past short-term sponsored posts toward deeper, longer-term partnerships or creator-owned products with actually good R&D-backed offerings.

  3. If you’re a creator, your most valuable asset is your built-in test group of loyal fans—use it to launch or co-create products instead of relying solely on unpredictable ad deals.

]]> 1873 SOLO | Make Money by Avoiding Life’s Biggest Regrets, part 1 In this solo episode, Travis reflects on powerful lessons from end-of-life regrets and how they connect directly to money, career decisions, and personal fulfillment. Drawing from research by a palliative care nurse and his own life experiences, he challenges listeners to rethink playing it safe, working too much, and letting fear dictate their path—while offering a more intentional approach to building a life (and income) that actually aligns with what matters most. On this episode we talk about: The top regrets people have at the end of their lives—and why they matter now Choosing authenticity over expectations from family, society, or authority figures The hidden cost of overworking and missing life’s most meaningful moments How fear drives decision-making and keeps people from pursuing big opportunities Building a money strategy that supports your ideal life—not just your bank account Top 3 Takeaways The biggest regret people have isn’t financial—it’s not living a life true to themselves. Working hard is valuable, but not when it comes at the expense of time with the people who matter most. Letting fear dictate your decisions leads to a lifetime of “what ifs”—calculated risk is necessary for a fulfilling life. Notable Quotes "You’re the only one who has to wake up and look at yourself in the mirror every single day." "Don’t spend 365 days living a life you don’t want just to impress people you see five days a year." "Your kids won’t learn courage from what you say—they’ll learn it from what you do."

You should align your spending and saving with different life stages—what you value (and can physically enjoy) changes over time. Notable Quotes "The money is just a tool for the life that you want."

]]> 1838 CO-HOST | Make Money Flying Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Tripod) Producer Eric joins Travis in the newly rearranged studio to vent about a brutal budget-airline trip that destroyed camera gear, froze passengers on the tarmac, and turned a simple flight into a four‑and‑a‑half‑hour odyssey via Denver. Along the way, the two dig into how airlines design systems that feel impossible to navigate, and what tradeoffs are actually worth paying for when you travel a lot for business. This is a funny, highly relatable episode for anyone who flies budget carriers to save money but pays for it in time, stress, and broken equipment. On this episode we talk about: How Frontier destroyed their tripod and sent Joanna on an hour‑long customer service loop with zero resolution. Why airline support systems feel intentionally designed to avoid helping you (and how that shows up at baggage desks and hotlines). Eric’s nightmare cold-weather boarding experience in Denver, with wheelchairs, crying kids, and 20 minutes freezing on the tarmac. The real economics and ethics of ultra‑cheap flights, from standing‑room “saddle seats” to charging passengers to use the restroom. Which travel “extras” are actually essential (TSA PreCheck, lounges) versus non‑essential depending on how often you fly. Top 3 Takeaways Budget airlines might save you money on the ticket, but they often cost you far more in broken gear, time delays, and emotional energy, especially if you fly for work. Airline customer service loops are often structured to deflect responsibility, so if you choose ultra‑low‑cost carriers, you need to assume minimal support when things go wrong. For frequent travelers, paying for things like TSA PreCheck and lounge access can be a worthwhile investment in comfort, productivity, and sanity—even if the base fare is higher. Notable Quotes “Basically you have built a system that is designed to not help anybody do anything.” “I paid 78 bucks five years ago so I never have to go in the regular line.” “I’ll pay the extra money for a better seat on Frontier just so I can get a direct flight—even though I know it’s not going to be a great experience.” Connect with Travis: • LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell⁠ • Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/travischappell⁠ • Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/travischappell⁠ • Other: ⁠https://travischappell.com⁠ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 2014 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Unlocking Creativity Through Play with Piera Gelardi Piera Gelardi is a creative entrepreneur, speaker, and artist best known as the co-founder of Refinery29 and the visionary behind 29Rooms. Now the founder of NoomaLooma and author of The Playful Way, Piera helps individuals and organizations tap into creativity, connection, and joy through the power of play. Blending art, business, and personal development, she brings a fresh perspective on how play can be a serious advantage in both life and work. On this episode we talk about: Why play isn’t a reward for hard work—but the fuel behind it How to integrate a “playful mindset” into your daily work and leadership style The concept of “plork” and blending play with productivity How Piera overcame burnout by reconnecting with her creative instincts Balancing intuition with expert advice when scaling a business Top 3 Takeaways Play is not frivolous—it’s a powerful tool that enhances creativity, resilience, and problem-solving in both business and life. You don’t need to separate work and play; adopting a playful mindset can transform even the most routine or high-pressure tasks. Trust your intuition as a creator or leader, but use outside input as collaboration—not a replacement for your vision. Notable Quotes "Play is actually the fuel in your tank to do the hard work—and to do it with more creativity, connection, and joy." "In any moment, we can choose the pressured way or the playful way." "Why do you think you have to become a different person to get to the next level of success?"

]]> 1538 SOLO | Make Money by Finally Starting Your First Business On this solo episode, Travis breaks down the real first steps of starting a business without getting lost in legal paperwork, logos, and websites that do not actually bring in revenue. Drawing from his own journey and his clients’ experiences, Travis shows you how to validate an offer fast, get your first paying customers, and only then worry about formal structures like LLCs and bank accounts. On this episode we talk about: Why obsessing over LLCs, websites, logos, and merch keeps you from making your first dollar. The only two things you truly need to start a business: something to sell and someone to sell it to. How to pick a specific customer avatar, identify their real problems, and build a simple offer that solves them. Why service-based offers are the fastest way to get started, even if you do not see yourself as “the best” in your niche. How to price your first deals, raise your rates over your first 5–20 clients, and discover your true price ceiling. Top 3 Takeaways: Stop overcomplicating your first business. You do not need a perfect brand, LLC, or website to get started; you need a clear problem you can solve, a simple offer, and a few people willing to pay you for it. Start with a scrappy sales-first approach. Use basic tools (even a personal PayPal account) to collect money, validate that people will pay for your solution, and then reinvest that cash into formalizing your business structure. Earn your way into higher prices. For your first handful of clients, prioritize proof and results over profit, then gradually raise prices with each new customer until the market tells you where the ceiling is. Notable Quotes: “All you really need to get started is something to sell and people to sell it to. That is it.” “You are putting all this extra work into an unproven concept, and it is literally preventing you from taking the first step.” “The first money I ever made online was the most important money, because it proved to me that it was actually possible.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://www.travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 978 CO-HOST | Make Money by Breaking Free from Ticketmaster, Monopolies, and Broken Review Platforms On this episode, Travis and his producer Eric dive into the Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust verdict and what it really means for fans, artists, and everyday consumers trying to enjoy live events without getting gouged. They also draw parallels to platforms like Yelp and the Better Business Bureau, unpacking how pay‑to‑play review systems quietly hurt small businesses and distort trust online. This conversation blends current events with real small‑business experience, from running an Ever Bowl location to watching reviews disappear unless you pay for ads, and contrasts it all with fan‑first models like the Savannah Bananas. On this episode we talk about: The federal jury verdict that found Live Nation/Ticketmaster operated as a monopoly under federal and state antitrust laws How Ticketmaster’s control of venues, promotion, and ticketing lets them stack fees and suppress competition Why platforms like Yelp feel “mafia‑style” to small business owners and how their “not recommended” filters quietly bury real reviews The exploding cost of live events like Coachella and why attending a “simple” festival now runs into the thousands How fan‑first models like the Savannah Bananas show a different way to price tickets, remove junk fees, and build long‑term brand equity Top 3 Takeaways Monopolies don’t just mean higher prices; they often mean worse experiences, fewer choices, and bullying tactics behind the scenes for venues, artists, and fans. If your business depends on platforms like Yelp, you’re playing in someone else’s sandbox, and their opaque algorithms and ad pressure can erase years of hard‑earned social proof overnight. There is real opportunity for creators and companies who are willing to take short‑term profit hits—like eliminating junk fees or doing their own ticketing—to build massive trust and loyalty by putting fans and customers first. Notable Quotes “The only thing on this planet I hate more than Coffee Bean is Ticketmaster.” “What’s even crazier is the volume of people who can’t afford to be doing that.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it’s easier to solve the rest of your problems when you got some money in the bank.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All‑In‑One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

With a background in math, technology, and years of experience at Intuit, George has developed innovative frameworks around leverage, velocity of money, and strategic investing that have helped over 10,000 people take control of their financial futures. On this episode we talk about: How George’s early exposure to entrepreneurship shaped his mindset around money Why building skills first is critical before pursuing entrepreneurship The difference between an “asset-first” vs. “finance-first” approach to wealth How leverage, spread, reinvestment, and sequencing accelerate wealth building Practical ways to increase income and use it to fuel long-term investments Top 3 Takeaways Wealth isn’t built by picking the “right” asset—it’s built by increasing the speed (velocity) at which your money grows. Strategic use of leverage can accelerate wealth, but only when assets are stable, cash-flowing, and properly structured. Focus the majority of your time on increasing income and skills—those are the true drivers that fuel long-term investing success. Notable Quotes "Don’t fall in love with an asset—fall in love with how you combine them." "The speed at which you build wealth is more important than the asset itself."

]]> 1417 SOLO | Make Money With Scalable Side Hustles On this solo episode, Travis dives into the current state of side hustles and how to choose ones that can actually change your financial life, not just cover a few extra bills. He breaks down the difference between quick-cash gigs and side hustles that can realistically replace your full-time income over time. On this episode we talk about: The current “state of side hustles” and why they’re more popular than ever. The difference between trading time for money vs. building something scalable. Examples of fast-start side hustles like social media agencies and AI consulting. Why some common side hustles (like pet sitting and dog walking) are hard to scale. How to know when it’s time to go full-time on your side hustle. Top 3 Takeaways Ask one key question before starting: “Is this potentially scalable?”—can this side hustle grow beyond just your time-for-money and eventually replace a meaningful portion of your salary? Prioritize side hustles that can be spun up quickly (like social media management or AI consulting) but also have room to grow into an agency or larger business. A smart path is to build your side hustle up to a sizable percentage of your annual salary, then evaluate whether you enjoy it enough—and have enough savings—to quit and go all in for 6–12 months. Notable Quotes “My biggest encouragement to anybody who's starting a side hustle is to ask yourself the question, ‘Is this potentially scalable?’” “Dog sitting is not super scalable unless you build a network of dog sitters—and that’s harder when apps like Rover already exist.” “What would happen if I took the next six months, quit my job, and just did this thing full-time?” Connect with Travis Chapel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1126 INTERVIEW | Make Money By Communicating Better: Charles Duhigg on Supercommunicators, Influence, and High‑Stakes Conversations Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, Smarter Faster Better, and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. A graduate of Yale and Harvard Business School, he writes for The New Yorker and has spent his career decoding how habits, productivity, and communication shape success in business and life. In this conversation, Charles breaks down the science behind “super communication,” how to handle emotionally charged conversations, and why mastering these skills is one of the highest‑ROI ways to make more money. On this episode we talk about: How Charles went from third‑grade sticker arbitrage to Harvard Business School, private equity, and ultimately a career writing blockbuster business books. Why business stories—and the drama, risk, and reward inside companies—make for the most compelling lessons about money and careers. The three types of conversations (practical, emotional, and social/identity) and why mismatching them destroys connection. Motivational interviewing: how to ask questions that move people toward better decisions without arguing, lecturing, or triggering defensiveness. How to protect friendships and relationships in a polarized world by getting curious instead of furious, asking deep questions, and managing your own reactions first. Top 3 Takeaways Great communicators don’t just talk well; they recognize which kind of conversation they’re in (practical, emotional, or social/identity) and match the other person so both sides feel heard. Motivational interviewing and deep questions let you influence others far more effectively than debates or data dumps, because you help them talk themselves toward insight instead of trying to “win” an argument. Self‑observation—catching your own motives, reactions, and habits in real time—is a trainable skill that turns better communication into a habit and becomes a major edge in leadership, sales, and making money. Notable Quotes “If you’re feeling furious, get curious.” “Successful communication requires having the same kind of conversation at the same moment.” “The best communicator in any room usually isn’t the one talking the most—they’re the one everyone feels understood by.” Connect with Charles Duhigg: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesduhigg Twitter/X: https://x.com/cduhigg Website: https://charlesduhigg.com Newsletter (The Science of Better): https://thescienceofbetter.net or via his site Book: Supercommunicators Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1957 INTERVIEW | Make Money By Getting Outside: How Nature Supercharges Your Health, Focus, and Performance with Dr. John La Puma Dr. John La Puma is a board-certified physician, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and pioneer of culinary medicine—a field that integrates food, lifestyle, and environmental health into medical practice. He also runs a regenerative certified organic farm in Santa Barbara that serves as his living laboratory for “nature as medicine,” where he tests how deliberate time outdoors can restore sleep, focus, resilience, and long‑term health. His latest book, Indoor Epidemic, distills insights from more than 2,200 studies to show how spending 93% of our time indoors steals our energy and performance, and how small, intentional doses of nature—the “Outdoor Rx”—can get them back. On this episode we talk about: How a 12‑year‑old’s 4 a.m. paper route shaped Dr. La Puma’s work ethic and lifelong love of making money. Why his curiosity about food, ethics, and lifestyle pulled him from traditional medicine into entrepreneurship and book writing. How modern indoor living “environmentally hijacks” us through air quality, light, and movement—and why that quietly taxes your cognition and health. The surprising science behind walking, outdoor movement, and “minimum effective doses” of nature for performance, creativity, and weight loss. Practical ways founders and professionals can redesign their day—walking meetings, morning light, and distance breaks—to make more money by thinking and performing better. Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is either handicapping or amplifying you: sealed, indoor spaces with stale air, dim light, and little movement quietly create a cognitive tax, inflammation, and burnout that no amount of hustle can fix. Small, specific doses of outdoor light, air, and movement—like a 17‑minute morning walk outside and walking meetings—are free levers that dramatically improve sleep, focus, creativity, and long‑term health. You can treat nature like a prescription: structure your day with “daylight before screen time,” frequent distance breaks from your devices, and simple outdoor routines that compound into better decisions, productivity, and ultimately income. Notable Quotes “Most people aren’t burned out—they’re just indoors too much.” “You’re leaving gains on the table if you don’t use the natural inputs your brain evolved to expect.” “Daytime before screen time—getting your light first and then your coffee—might be the most powerful way to improve performance that I know.” Connect with Dr. John La Puma: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnlapuma Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnlapuma/ Other (Book & Free Outdoor Reset): https://IndoorEpidemic.com Website: https://www.drjohnlapuma.com/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Drawing from real-world experience and proven frameworks, Travis breaks down how to handle price objections, improve your sales skills, and build a brand that drives long-term success. This episode is packed with actionable strategies for both beginners exploring sales and seasoned professionals looking to level up. On this episode we talk about: How to overcome the “too expensive” objection in sales Why value—not price—is the key to successful negotiation The importance of personal brand in driving business success Frameworks for improving your sales skills and education How to break into sales as a career path Top 3 Takeaways If a prospect is focused on price, it’s usually a value problem—shift the conversation to uncover what’s missing. Cutting your price rarely solves the real issue; instead, improve delivery, trust, or perceived value. A strong personal brand can outperform market conditions and accelerate business growth—but long-term success still depends on product quality. Notable Quotes "If you're haggling over price, you're talking about the wrong thing in the negotiation." "The brand brings the first sale, but the product keeps people coming back."

  • The importance of personal brand in driving business success
  • Frameworks for improving your sales skills and education
  • How to break into sales as a career path

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. If a prospect is focused on price, it’s usually a value problem—shift the conversation to uncover what’s missing.
  2. Cutting your price rarely solves the real issue; instead, improve delivery, trust, or perceived value.
  3. A strong personal brand can outperform market conditions and accelerate business growth—but long-term success still depends on product quality.

Notable Quotes

  • "If you're haggling over price, you're talking about the wrong thing in the negotiation."
  • "The brand brings the first sale, but the product keeps people coming back."
  • "If you truly overdeliver, whatever you're charging becomes a bargain."

]]> 1115 CO-HOST | Make Money Beyond the Spotlight: Turning Brand and IP Into Assets In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into the surprising world of the highest-paid dead celebrities, using a recent Forbes report as a springboard to unpack how estates, brands, and IP keep generating cash long after someone is gone. They break down what Michael Jackson, Dr. Seuss, Pink Floyd, Biggie, Jimmy Buffett, Kobe Bryant, Arnold Palmer, Shaq, and others did with their intellectual property—and what that means for creators, entrepreneurs, and personal brands today. Along the way, they dig into AI, likeness rights, and why owning your own image and work matters more than ever. On this episode we talk about: How Michael Jackson turned catalog ownership into hundreds of millions in posthumous earnings Why Dr. Seuss continues to sell millions of books and land major licensing deals decades after his death How Pink Floyd, Biggie, Jimmy Buffett, Kobe Bryant, and Arnold Palmer structured exits, brands, and licensing to keep cash flowing Why IP (intellectual property), catalogs, and name/image/likeness rights are the real long-term assets behind these fortunes How AI, likeness rights, and “owning yourself” will reshape the future of creative work and personal brands Top 3 Takeaways Own your IP and likeness. The biggest long-term winners are the ones who own their catalogs, brands, and name/image/likeness rights, because those assets can be licensed, sold, and repackaged for years. Build assets, not just income. Touring, projects, and launches are great, but the real wealth comes from building a body of work and brand that can be bundled, sold, or licensed as a catalog over time. Differentiate yourself in the age of AI. As AI-generated content explodes, the most valuable creators will be the ones doing interesting things in the real world, protecting their rights, and building distinctive voices and experiences that can’t be easily replicated. Notable Quotes "Not only was he creating a lot of content, he was owning a ton of content, which is like where the real money is actually made." "The takeaway is the value of IP—IP seems to be almost publicly undervalued when it is the catalyst for so many of these fortunes." "If you can still do your own thing and stand out from the crowd, you're going to win long term, whether you're fighting with AI or copycats or whatever that is."

]]> 1604 SOLO | Make Money With a Simple, Effective Morning Routine On this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to design a realistic, sustainable morning routine that actually supports your energy, focus, and productivity instead of becoming a four-hour checklist you feel guilty about skipping. Drawing from years of experimenting with different habits, he shares what truly moves the needle—especially if you’re a self-described night person who wakes up feeling behind. On this episode we talk about: Why over-engineered, four-hour morning routines can hurt your day more than help it. The core pillars of an effective routine: hydration, sunlight, and movement. Practical ways to move your body in the morning without being a “gym rat.” How journaling, meditation, and even cold showers or sauna can support your mental state. The importance of starting with just one habit and sometimes skipping everything to do your most important work first. Top 3 Takeaways An effective morning routine should change your state, not become a rigid box-checking exercise that makes you feel behind or guilty when life happens. Simple habits like electrolytes and water, getting 15–20 minutes of sunlight, moving your body, and staying off your phone can dramatically improve focus, mood, and sleep. Start with one habit that makes other habits easier—like waking up at a consistent time—and build from there while remembering that sometimes the best move is to wake up and do your most important work first.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Mon, 13 Apr 2026 07:15:00 -0000 full Travis Chappell On this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to design a realistic, sustainable morning routine that actually supports your energy, focus, and productivity instead of becoming a four-hour checklist you feel guilty about skipping. Drawing from years of experimenting with different habits, he shares what truly moves the needle—especially if you’re a self-described night person who wakes up feeling behind. On this episode we talk about: Why over-engineered, four-hour morning routines can hurt your day more than help it. The core pillars of an effective routine: hydration, sunlight, and movement. Practical ways to move your body in the morning without being a “gym rat.” How journaling, meditation, and even cold showers or sauna can support your mental state. The importance of starting with just one habit and sometimes skipping everything to do your most important work first. Top 3 Takeaways An effective morning routine should change your state, not become a rigid box-checking exercise that makes you feel behind or guilty when life happens. Simple habits like electrolytes and water, getting 15–20 minutes of sunlight, moving your body, and staying off your phone can dramatically improve focus, mood, and sleep. Start with one habit that makes other habits easier—like waking up at a consistent time—and build from there while remembering that sometimes the best move is to wake up and do your most important work first.

]]> 1006 CO-HOST | Make Money by Treating Your Budget Like Your Diet This co-hosted episode features Travis Chappell and producer Eric breaking down a powerful fitness clip from wellness coach and content creator Michael Smoak, then translating it into practical money lessons. Michael, a transformation coach who simplifies health and wellness for busy professionals, shares how raising awareness of “hidden calories” changed his body—and Travis uses the same framework to reveal the “hidden expenses” quietly sabotaging your bank account. On this episode we talk about: Why brutal honesty and tracking for 30 days can transform both your diet and your finances. How “liquid calories” like chai tea lattes mirror financial leaks like fast food, Amazon impulse buys, and constant eating out. The four stages of competence (from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence) and how they apply to weight loss and money management. Simple rules like checking labels, checking your bank account, and adding a “cooling-off period” before you eat or spend. Why accountability, community, and having a more experienced friend or coach dramatically increase your odds of lasting change. Top 3 Takeaways Awareness comes first: whether it is calories or cash, tracking everything for a month exposes the real reasons you are gaining weight or staying broke. Small, “insignificant” choices—daily chai lattes, delivery orders, random Amazon carts—add up to massive results over three to six months, in both your body and your bank account. Mastery is a progression: if you stick with it, you move from not knowing what you do wrong to being able to “eyeball” food and money decisions automatically, which makes staying fit and financially stable feel much easier. Notable Quotes “You’re not just magically getting fatter and your money’s not just magically vanishing—both are the result of daily choices you’re not tracking.” “If you always have more month at the end of your money, you owe it to yourself to figure out where it’s going.” “Getting fit isn’t about suffering; it’s about raising your awareness—and the same exact thing is true with your finances.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis.

]]> 1395 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Building a Scalable Healthcare Business with Dr. Betsy Dovec Dr. Betsy Dovec is a world-renowned bariatric surgeon, entrepreneur, and founder of Body by Bariatrics and the Surgical Institute of Central Florida. With over 6,500 weight loss surgeries performed, she’s not only transforming lives through medicine but also redefining how healthcare businesses are built and scaled. Passionate about ending obesity stigma and treating it as a chronic disease, Betsy combines clinical excellence with bold entrepreneurial thinking—making her journey a powerful blueprint for anyone looking to grow wealth through expertise and ownership. On this episode we talk about: What bariatric surgery is and how it transforms patients’ lives Transitioning from hospital-employed surgeon to business owner The steep learning curve of running a healthcare business (especially billing and revenue cycles) Building a vertically integrated ecosystem in healthcare Taking on risk, including a $12M loan to build a surgery center Top 3 Takeaways Being great at your craft doesn’t mean you’re ready for business—learning operations, finance, and systems is critical to success. Owning the full ecosystem (real estate, services, operations) creates scalability, defensibility, and long-term wealth. Risk is unavoidable—so you might as well take calculated risks that align with your long-term vision and goals. Notable Quotes "You either tolerate being an employee—or you make the uncomfortable decision to build something of your own." "I had to learn fast or I wasn’t going to survive in business."

]]> 1526 SOLO | Make Money by Installing Daily Habits That Grow Your Bank Account This solo episode features Travis Chappell, a veteran podcaster and founder who has helped thousands of people learn the mindset and habits required to earn more. Drawing from his own journey of lifestyle creep, debt awareness, and building multiple income streams, Travis breaks down simple, practical habits anyone can adopt—no degree, big savings, or special skills required—to start moving their bank account in the right direction over the next 3–6 months. On this episode we talk about: Why checking your bank account balance daily changes your money awareness and urgency. How to delay purchases for at least an hour to avoid impulse spending and emotional decisions. Eating at home to reverse lifestyle creep and stop letting restaurant and delivery bills quietly drain your income. Going to monthly in‑person events so “the more hands you shake, the more money you make.” Changing your inputs (podcasts, YouTube, conversations) so your environment pushes you toward earning more. Top 3 Takeaways Daily money awareness—like checking your bank balance or using tools such as Rocket Money—keeps your real financial situation in front of you and creates the urgency to go earn more. Small habits like delaying purchases for an hour and eating at home can quietly free up thousands of dollars a month that you can redirect toward debt payoff and savings. Your environment and relationships matter: attending monthly events, consuming business content, and talking openly about money with your spouse or close friends increases opportunities and motivation to build the life you want. Notable Quotes “What you focus on, you get more of—so put your bank balance in front of your eyes every single day.” “It’s never been easier to make money, but it’s also never been easier to get distracted and to spend it.” “The more hands you shake, the more money you make.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: Website – https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly turns into a deeper discussion about attention, credibility, and the growing trend of creators tearing others down online. Travis shares his perspective on why buying “boring businesses” is a powerful path to wealth, and why attacking others—especially when you’re doing the same thing—can ultimately hurt your brand more than help it. On this episode we talk about: Why buying small “boring” businesses can be more lucrative than traditional careers The real reason critics attack successful creators online How attention (positive or negative) fuels growth and opportunity The dangers of discrediting others while promoting similar ideas When criticism crosses the line into unnecessary negativity Top 3 Takeaways Attention is the foundation of business—once you have it, you can monetize it. Tearing others down—especially when you’re in the same space—weakens your own credibility. You don’t need to praise everyone, but you also don’t need to publicly attack them to succeed.

]]> 1440 SOLO | Make Money by Mastering Real Social Media Growth In this solo episode, host Travis Chappell breaks down the social media strategies he is actively testing in his own business to grow real, engaged audiences instead of inflated, fake numbers. Drawing from his personal wins and mistakes, as well as lessons from creator friends and mentors like Gary Vaynerchuk and Alex Hormozi, Travis lays out a practical playbook any entrepreneur can use to show up consistently online without feeling fake, overproduced, or trapped on the content treadmill. On this episode we talk about: Why buying followers, views, likes, and comments destroys your data, credibility, and long‑term growth. How to use paid boosts the right way by amplifying content that is already performing well organically. Simple content formats that actually work: “document, don’t create,” direct‑to‑camera videos, podcast clips, and more. How collaborations and podcast clips can pull you out of “engagement jail” and expose you to new audiences. Why volume plus continuous improvement beats complex hook formulas and copycat “Hormozi‑style” content. Top 3 Takeaways Never buy fake growth. Purchasing followers, views, or engagement forces you to keep paying just to maintain appearances, ruins your ability to read what is truly working, and makes it obvious to anyone experienced that your audience isn’t real. Play to your natural strengths and formats. Whether it is quick direct‑to‑camera riffs, documenting your day, or repurposing podcast clips, pick the style that feels authentic so you can stay consistent over years, not weeks. Pair consistency with improvement and volume. Treat every post like a lottery ticket, increase the number of “shots on goal,” and keep iterating based on honest data so your content quality rises alongside your output. Notable Quotes “Do not escape the learning part of failure with your social media content and just make up for it by boosting the video.” “Real recognizes real—you’re not fooling anybody who’s been around the game for any length of time.” “It has to be a combination of consistency plus improvement; otherwise you just post a thousand times and still get 300 views a video.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all‑in‑one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1364 SOLO | Make Money "Networking" In this solo episode with Travis, he dives deep into why traditional “networking” feels slimy and what to do instead. He shares lessons from years of running a top networking podcast, rebranding his show, and shifting from transactional tactics to genuine, long-term relationship building. On this episode we talk about: Why the term “networking” feels gross and outdated. The “Networking Ned” caricature and everything he does wrong at events. The difference between transactional networking and long-term relationship building. How to show up at events like you would at a bar with friends. Why collecting contacts is useless if no one will text you back. Top 3 Takeaways Stop chasing transactions and start making friends. Treat people at professional events the same way you’d treat new friends at a bar—curious, relaxed, and focused on connection, not closing. Quality beats quantity in your network. A smaller list of people who will actually text you back, hop on FaceTime, and reciprocate value is far more powerful than thousands of cold contacts. Play the long game. Real relationships compound over years, often starting in a professional context and evolving into personal friendships that enrich your life far beyond a single deal. Notable Quotes “Networking’s not dead, but you should stop looking at it as networking and start looking at it as making friends in business.” “You can have a hundred thousand contacts in your phone, but what really matters is who will actually text you back.” “Numbers aren’t people and people aren’t numbers—focus on the relationship, not the spreadsheet.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 968 CO-HOST | Make Money Without Tearing Others Down In this candid and unfiltered episode, Travis is joined by his producer Eric for a deeper conversation sparked by a viral clip from Gary Vaynerchuk. What starts as a humorous, off-the-rails discussion quickly turns into a thoughtful breakdown of criticism culture, “call-out” content, and the fine line between holding people accountable and building a brand off negativity. Travis shares his perspective on when criticism is valid, when it becomes harmful, and why focusing on your own work is ultimately the most profitable—and fulfilling—path. On this episode we talk about: The difference between constructive criticism and toxic “call-out” culture When it makes sense to publicly critique someone—and when it doesn’t The dangers of building a brand around negativity and controversy Why fact-checking and integrity matter when discussing others How focusing on your own growth leads to better long-term success Top 3 Takeaways There’s a big difference between disagreeing with someone and building a brand around tearing others down. If you choose to criticize publicly, you have a responsibility to be accurate, fair, and fact-based. The most sustainable path to success is focusing on creating value—not chasing attention through negativity.

]]> 1620 SOLO | Make Money by Building Unshakable Trust In this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell breaks down the three core types of trust that drive sales and long-term customer relationships. Drawing from his years of door-to-door sales and online business, he explains how to intentionally engineer trust so that more of your conversations turn into transactions. On this episode we talk about: The biggest obstacle in cold outreach and why you actually start at “negative trust” with prospects. How referrals and warm introductions let you “borrow trust” and massively increase your close rate. What competence trust is and how to build it with credibility, PR, and podcast guesting. Why caring trust (showing you genuinely have the client’s best interest at heart) keeps people coming back. How community trust, stages, and other people’s audiences can instantly lower the barrier to doing business with you. Top 3 Takeaways Your sales problem is often a trust problem, especially in cold environments where people didn’t ask to hear from you and start out skeptical of your intentions. You can deliberately build competence, caring, and community trust through authority-building moves like guest podcast appearances, consistent content, and deepening relationships. When trust is high, the only real remaining barrier is whether someone actually needs what you sell—trust converts attention into transactions. Notable Quotes “It’s not even like you’re starting from zero trust—when you’re cold calling or knocking doors, you’re starting from negative trust.” “Maybe they trust that you’re a good person, but do they trust that you’re actually good at what you do?” “Trust will always lead to transactions—people have to trust you at least a little bit before they pull out their credit card.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Linktree: https://linktr.ee/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

With over 25 years of experience and more than 10,000 client consultations, Mark has built a reputation for helping entrepreneurs legally reduce taxes, protect assets, and build long-term wealth. Known for simplifying complex financial strategies, Mark brings practical, actionable advice that business owners can implement immediately. On this episode we talk about: Why tax strategy matters more than tax filing—and when to actually plan Common tax mistakes entrepreneurs make (and how to avoid them) The truth about LLCs, S-Corps, and what actually saves you money How to build a coordinated business structure for tax efficiency and asset protection Why skill stacking, communication, and trade-based careers are key in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways Tax planning happens before the year ends—waiting until April is already too late for most strategies. An LLC alone doesn’t save taxes—true savings come from proper structuring (like S-Corp elections) and proactive strategy. The biggest earning advantage comes from stacking unique skills and simplifying complex ideas so others understand your value. Notable Quotes "It’s easier to save money than make money."

]]> 1776 CO-HOST | Make Money Writing a Book That Actually Sells In this episode, Travis sits down with his in-studio producer for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about writing books, publishing paths, and what it really takes to stand out in an increasingly saturated market. From traditional vs. self-publishing to the surprising statistics around book sales, this episode breaks down the realities most aspiring authors don’t consider—and why focusing on quality over speed is the ultimate competitive advantage. On this episode we talk about: Traditional publishing vs. self-publishing and how to choose the right path Eye-opening statistics about book sales and why most books fail to sell The impact of AI and the explosion of low-quality self-published content Why credibility, distribution, and timing matter for first-time authors The philosophy of “there’s always room for the best” in any saturated market Top 3 Takeaways The publishing path you choose should align with your current goals—traditional publishing can offer credibility, while self-publishing offers control and flexibility. Most books sell very few copies, so success comes less from publishing and more from creating a genuinely high-quality product. Saturation isn’t the problem—lack of excellence is. If your work is truly great, you can still stand out in any market. Notable Quotes "I don’t want to write a book just to say I wrote a book—I want it to actually be good."

]]> 1543 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Turning Adversity into Advantage, feat. Jason Redman Jason Redman is a retired Navy SEAL, New York Times bestselling author, and transformational speaker who embodies resilience at the highest level. After being critically wounded in combat—shot multiple times, including in the face—Jason fought his way back through years of recovery and now uses his story to inspire millions. In this episode, he shares how the “overcome mindset” applies not just to survival, but to building a successful life and business through discipline, adaptability, and intentional growth. On this episode we talk about: Jason’s journey into the Navy SEALs and the mindset required to succeed The realities of SEAL training and why mental toughness matters most Surviving a life-threatening combat ambush and the lessons it taught him Translating military resilience into entrepreneurship and business success Building multiple income streams and applying the “DEI” framework to wealth Top 3 Takeaways Mental resilience—not physical ability—is what ultimately determines success in high-pressure situations. Everyone faces “ambushes” in life, and growth comes from choosing to move forward through adversity. Financial success requires a shift from saving mindset to growth mindset—diversifying income, building equity, and increasing earnings.

]]> 2031 SOLO | Make Money Choosing the Right Hard Path There’s no guest on this episode—just Travis sharing an honest solo riff about why every path in life and business comes with its own “shit sandwich,” and how to choose the one that’s actually worth eating. He breaks down career pivots, the grind behind creative success, and why chasing the “easy” road usually just trades one set of problems for another. On this episode we talk about: Why every career or business path has parts that will suck. Lessons from a working stand-up comedian grinding for nearly a decade. Letting go of glorified “grass is greener” fantasies about other careers. Choosing the problems you’re willing to live with in work, health, and life. How accepting obstacles frees you up to commit and keep moving forward. Top 3 Takeaways You can’t avoid hardship—you can only choose which set of problems you’re willing to face in pursuit of a meaningful path. The people who eventually “blow up” are usually the ones quietly stacking years of reps, projects, and readiness behind the scenes. Trying to dodge discomfort now (in career or health) just creates bigger, less controllable problems for your future self.

]]> 866 CO-HOST | Make Money by Knowing What You’re Willing to Sacrifice Travis Chappell and Eric unpack a viral MrBeast clip and use it as a broader conversation about success, sacrifice, and self-awareness. The episode explores why some people are built for extreme achievement, why most people are not, and how to decide what tradeoffs are actually worth it. On this episode we talk about: Why the “most people stop where success gets hard” mindset resonates with high performers. The difference between admiring extreme achievers and trying to live exactly like them. How self-awareness shapes the tradeoffs you’re willing to make in pursuit of success. Why people like MrBeast, Kobe Bryant, Shaq, and Alex Hormozi are outliers, not templates for everyone. How to define success in a way that matches your real values instead of someone else’s ambitions. Top 3 Takeaways Pushing through discomfort can create growth, but that does not mean everyone should copy an extreme work ethic. Success is not one-size-fits-all; the right path depends on what you want and what you’re willing to trade for it. The most important question is not whether a strategy works, but whether it fits the life you actually want. Notable Quotes "This clip reminds me of something where most people stop."

He shares candid stories of funding his podcasting journey, a software startup, and a brick-and-mortar franchise, all while navigating the psychological and financial risks of borrowing. His experience-based approach makes this episode especially useful for anyone torn between “all debt is bad” and “leverage everything.” On this episode we talk about: How Travis used a 0% credit card to launch his podcasting career Why he values financial, time, and location freedom in online business Using 0% credit cards and funding to build a software startup Financing a brick-and-mortar franchise with credit cards and an SBA loan The psychological side of debt and creating urgency without being reckless Top 3 Takeaways Strategic, low- or 0%-interest debt can accelerate your path into a new business or skill set when it’s used to buy knowledge, relationships, and revenue-generating assets—not toys. Debt works best when you have a clear plan to “outwork” it quickly, maintain strict discipline, and avoid stacking new debt just to cover old debt. Whether debt is “good” or “bad” depends on your psychology, habits, and situation; it’s a case-by-case decision, not a one-size-fits-all rule. Notable Quotes “My content is documenting what I’m doing. It’s not a sermon.” “I don’t like debt, but seeing it makes me go into hyperdrive to earn more and pay it off.” “Ask yourself: is this helpful, what are the downsides, what are the upsides, and can I comfortably outwork this debt?” Connect with Travis: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: https://travischappell.com/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1188 CO-HOST | Make Money by Knowing When a Big Risk Becomes a Big Mistake Travis Chappell and his producer Eric break down the fallout around ABC’s canceled Bachelorette season and use it as a bigger lesson in branding, risk, and media economics. The conversation blends pop culture, reality TV, and business strategy to show how attention, credibility, and trust shape both audience growth and revenue. On this episode we talk about: Why ABC’s decision to cast Taylor Frankie Paul was a high-risk move for the franchise. How the cancellation created major financial fallout for the network and advertisers. The difference between short-term attention and long-term brand damage. Why reality TV thrives on messy personalities but still has a line it cannot cross. What the situation reveals about media strategy, vetting, and protecting a valuable IP. Top 3 Takeaways Chasing attention without protecting the brand can backfire fast, especially when the audience expects a certain kind of consistency. Even major networks can make expensive mistakes when they prioritize hype over judgment. Reality TV depends on drama, but there is still a huge difference between entertaining conflict and behavior that crosses into real harm. Notable Quotes "It sounds low to me, frankly." "That's the thing that they became famous for is just living their life and then filming it." "You want the person who will pour a drink on someone at a table. Yeah.

In this solo episode, he explains why podcasting is one of the most effective ways to grow a brand because it can move people through all three stages at once, especially when you show up as a guest on someone else’s show. On this episode we talk about: Why attention is the first requirement for any personal brand. How credibility supports attention and keeps people from dropping out of the funnel.

]]> 1160 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Dave Berke and Michelle "Mace" Curran Ever wonder what it really feels like to leave behind an elite military career and try to build a meaningful life on the other side? In this preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with former Marine fighter pilot Dave Berke and former Air Force Thunderbirds pilot Mace Curran to talk about life after service, the challenge of translating hard-earned experience into a new career, and what it takes to keep growing once the mission changes. Dave and Mace open up about the long, demanding process of writing books and distilling years of experience into lessons others can actually use. What sounds simple on the surface turns out to be a deeply reflective process — one that requires not just expertise, but the ability to look back, connect the dots, and turn lived experience into something teachable. Travis unpacks why that skill matters so much, especially for people whose credibility comes from having done the work at the highest level. The conversation also digs into what they enjoy most now: making an impact. Mace shares how powerful it is to see the direct effect of her keynotes, whether she’s speaking to a crowd, connecting face-to-face afterward, or hearing months later that something she said changed someone’s life. Dave echoes that same theme from the leadership side, explaining how meaningful it is to teach leadership as a skill anyone can learn, improve, and pass on to others. You’ll also hear honest reflections on what’s been difficult in the transition out of the military — from missing the camaraderie of a fighter squadron to adjusting to a different kind of social life. Mace talks candidly about the challenge of building friendships outside that world and realizing relationships don’t just happen automatically anymore; they take intentionality and effort. Dave shares a similar perspective, describing how he’s found connection through both work and his family life, while still appreciating the rare bond that comes from serving in an elite, high-pressure environment. This preview also touches on the unique culture of military aviation, the emotional pull of flying, and the realities of whether they miss it. For Mace, the answer is complicated: she doesn’t miss the flying as much as she misses the people, the language, and the sense of belonging. For Dave, the military is something he looks back on with gratitude, but not longing — because he’s found fulfillment in what he’s doing now. If you’ve ever wondered how high performers reinvent themselves after a defining career, or how to build a life filled with purpose when your old identity no longer fits, this conversation offers an honest and encouraging look at what that transition really takes.

]]> 2182 CO-HOST | Make Money by Fixing Your Spending Habits (Why $75K Isn’t the Problem) In this episode, Travis is joined by his producer Eric for a candid (and often hilarious) conversation about income, perception, and personal finance. Sparked by a viral clip debating whether $75,000 a year is “poor,” they break down how income really stacks up depending on location, lifestyle, and—most importantly—spending habits. Travis challenges the idea that earning more is always the solution, arguing instead that financial discipline and priorities are what truly determine wealth. On this episode we talk about: Whether $75,000 a year is actually considered “poor” How cost of living and geography drastically change income perception Why overspending—not low income—is often the real financial issue The psychological pull of branding, status, and lifestyle inflation How modern convenience and marketing make it easier than ever to spend money Top 3 Takeaways Your financial situation is more about how you spend than how much you make—lifestyle inflation can wipe out any income increase. Comparing yourself to others (especially higher earners) can lead to overspending and unnecessary financial stress. Building wealth requires discipline—cutting unnecessary expenses and prioritizing long-term financial health over short-term gratification. Notable Quotes "If you're living paycheck to paycheck on $75K, the first place to look is your spending—not your salary." "You don’t deserve a luxury lifestyle just because it exists—you have to earn it." "Even if your income doubled tomorrow, most people would just double their spending too."

]]> 1738 SOLO | Make Money Building a Personal Brand (Or Not): What Actually Matters In this solo episode, Travis Chappell dives into the ongoing debate around personal branding—whether it’s truly worth your time or just a distraction fueled by vanity metrics. Drawing from real-world examples, personal experiences, and market trends, Travis breaks down why building an audience can be a powerful long-term asset in business—while also acknowledging that it’s not the right path for everyone. On this episode we talk about: Why personal branding can act as a hedge against AI disruption The rise of creator-led businesses and why they dominate launches How trust and community increase conversions, retention, and pricing power The risks of building a brand without a strong product behind it Why you don’t need millions of followers to build a profitable personal brand Top 3 Takeaways Building an audience creates a powerful advantage—trust shortens buying decisions, increases loyalty, and boosts lifetime customer value. You don’t need a massive following—serving a specific audience well can generate a highly profitable business. Personal branding is optional—but if it aligns with your interests, it can compound opportunities across every future venture. Notable Quotes "Community and audience is a cheat code—it doesn’t guarantee long-term success, but it guarantees a strong start." "Every piece of content is a lottery ticket—you never know which one will change everything." "You don’t have to do this—but if it resonates with you, there’s no way around it.

Sparked by a clip from Kevin O’Leary, the discussion dives into whether entrepreneurs are born or made—and Travis shares the real-life experiences that pushed him away from traditional employment and toward building his own path. On this episode we talk about: The debate: are entrepreneurs born or shaped by life experiences? Travis’ early exposure to sales and making six figures in his early 20s Why corporate structure and “arbitrary rules” pushed him away from traditional jobs The power of commission-based income and betting on yourself Key “aha moments” that built confidence and a risk-taking mindset Top 3 Takeaways Entrepreneurship is often shaped by pivotal life moments—not just personality traits. Gaining early wins (like sales or business success) builds the confidence to take bigger risks later. If you value freedom, control, and upside potential, traditional employment may feel limiting—and that’s okay. Notable Quotes "I cannot stand arbitrary authority—especially when it doesn’t make sense." "There’s so much more value in being the person who gets the deal than the one doing the labor."

]]> 2192 SOLO | Make Money by Starting a Podcast the Right Way In this solo episode, Travis breaks down the real blueprint for starting a podcast—without overcomplicating the process or wasting money on things that don’t matter. Drawing from his own experience building a successful show, he shares practical, no-fluff advice on how to get started, what to prioritize, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that stop most people before they ever hit publish. On this episode we talk about: Why technical setup is NOT the reason you’re stuck (and how simple it actually is) The tools and shortcuts that make podcast production easier than ever Why strategy matters more than gear—and how to define your “why” How to create your ideal listener avatar and use it to guide every decision The importance of batching episodes and launching with momentum Top 3 Takeaways Don’t let tech stop you—starting a podcast today is easier and cheaper than ever. Clarity of purpose and audience (your avatar) will determine your success far more than equipment. Batch record at least 10–12 episodes before launching to stay consistent and beat 90% of podcasters who quit early. Notable Quotes "Don’t get bogged down in the technical aspects—that’s what stops most people from ever starting." "The strategy behind your show matters far more than the gear you’re using."

Drawing inspiration from voices like Alex Hormozi, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mark Manson, they break down what actually works when it comes to building wealth and managing your time effectively. This episode blends philosophy with practical strategy, highlighting how to think critically, avoid “guru traps,” and structure your day for maximum output without burnout. On this episode we talk about: Why you shouldn’t blindly follow any “expert” and how to think critically about advice The importance of taking ownership of your time outside a traditional 9–5 The 4-4-4 framework: splitting your day into promotion, delivery, and building How minimizing distractions—not adding more tasks—creates true focus Why “building time” (thinking, networking, planning) is the most overlooked growth lever Top 3 Takeaways Your 9–5 isn’t the problem—how you use your mornings and evenings determines your progress. Focus is achieved through subtraction. Eliminating distractions is more powerful than adding productivity hacks. Long-term success comes from balancing immediate output (promotion & delivery) with future-oriented work (building relationships and strategy). Notable Quotes "Your nine-to-five job is not killing your dreams—you're wasting the hours outside of it." "Focus is achieved not through addition, but subtraction."

]]> 1717 SOLO | Make Money with Podcasting: Why You Should Start (Even If You Think It’s Too Late) In this solo episode, Travis breaks down why starting a podcast is still one of the most underrated opportunities available today. Despite the noise online claiming the industry is “too saturated,” Travis shares real data, personal experience, and practical insights to explain why there’s never been a better time to start. From building relationships with high-level guests like Shaquille O'Neal and James Clear to developing valuable skills that compound over time, this episode is a masterclass in leveraging podcasting for growth, income, and influence. On this episode we talk about: Why podcasting is not as saturated as you think (and the real stats behind it) How a podcast becomes your ultimate learning and accountability tool The role of podcasting in improving communication and persuasion skills How hosting a show opens doors to high-level relationships and opportunities Why credibility, content, and SEO benefits make podcasting a long-term asset Top 3 Takeaways Podcasting isn’t about audience growth at first—it’s about skill-building, relationships, and long-term leverage. Consistency alone (publishing weekly for 1–2 years) puts you ahead of the vast majority of podcasters. A podcast gives you access—access to people, knowledge, and opportunities you wouldn’t otherwise have. Notable Quotes "No, it’s not too saturated. Most people just aren’t willing to get better."

]]> 1676 SOLO | Make Money by Getting Better at Sales Faster Travis flies solo in this episode to break down his personal blueprint for getting dramatically better at sales in a short amount of time. Drawing from years of experience in door-to-door sales, closing, and outside sales, he shares a practical, no-fluff approach to mastering the fundamentals, building confidence, and converting more conversations into customers. On this episode we talk about: Why finding the top performer and copying their process is the fastest way to improve. How volume, repetition, and script practice build real sales skill. Why tonality, body language, and delivery matter as much as the words you say. The power of asking for the sale and then sitting in silence. How empathy, discovery, and good questions make closing easier. Top 3 Takeaways Don’t reinvent the wheel—study the best performer, copy their approach, and practice it at scale. The best salespeople create trust by asking better questions and truly understanding the prospect’s situation. Silence is a tool, and over-talking after the close can hurt more deals than it helps.

Using insights from Ben Shapiro as a jumping-off point, the discussion dives into the importance of skill acquisition, niche markets, and aligning passion with profitability. Along the way, Travis shares real-world examples of entrepreneurs who turned highly specific interests into multimillion-dollar businesses—proving that opportunity exists everywhere if you know where to look.

]]> 1509 CO-HOST | Make Money by Embracing the Grind (and Knowing When It’s Worth It) In this episode, Travis is joined in-studio by his producer Eric for a real, unfiltered conversation about the grind it actually takes to build something meaningful. Inspired by a clip from Alex Hormozi, they break down the early stages of entrepreneurship, the reality of long hours, and why short-term sacrifice can accelerate long-term success. Through personal stories, lessons from past seasons of burnout, and practical mindset shifts, this episode highlights what it really takes to “make money” in the beginning. On this episode we talk about: Why early-stage success often requires extreme effort and long hours The concept of “sprints” vs. long-term burnout in business and life Real-life examples of working 12+ hour days to build momentum How to evaluate whether the grind is actually worth it The role of discipline, mindset, and delayed gratification in making money Top 3 Takeaways You can’t skip the hard part—putting in intense effort early can dramatically shorten the timeline to success. Thinking in “sprints” (short bursts of extreme focus) makes hard seasons more mentally manageable and effective. Every decision is a trade-off—success comes from consciously choosing what you’re willing to sacrifice temporarily for long-term gain. Notable Quotes "If you want to get there faster, you have to be willing to do more work now." "The beginning of anything is going to be hard—especially after the novelty wears off."

]]> 1930 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Dave Berke Ever wonder what it really takes to turn a childhood dream into a high-stakes career—and whether having that kind of clarity early in life is actually an advantage? In this preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with former Marine fighter pilot Dave Berke to unpack the origin story behind a lifelong pursuit of flying—and the surprising mindset shifts that came along the way. Dave shares how watching Top Gun as a teenager didn’t just entertain him—it fundamentally shaped his vision for the future. Growing up near a Marine Corps air station in Orange County, he was constantly surrounded by the sights and sounds of fighter jets, embedding a fascination with aviation deep into his psyche. What started as inspiration quickly turned into obsession, as Dave developed an unusually clear sense of direction at a young age—down to the exact squadron he hoped to join. But this conversation goes beyond a typical “follow your dreams” narrative. Travis and Dave explore whether that level of early certainty is actually necessary—or even healthy. Dave reflects candidly on why he doesn’t necessarily recommend having such a rigid path so young, emphasizing that success doesn’t require everything to be figured out in advance. For most people, experimentation and flexibility are far more valuable tools. You’ll also hear the pivotal moment where Dave made a bold, unconventional decision: turning down a full Air Force ROTC scholarship to pursue his goal of becoming a Marine aviator. Despite being offered a more “secure” path to flight school, he chose uncertainty—betting on his long-term vision even without guarantees. That decision led him down a much tougher road, starting with a ground contract and the grueling process of Officer Candidate School. Along the way, this episode highlights the realities behind elite career paths—how much comes down to timing, luck, and perseverance—and why even the most focused individuals must adapt when things don’t go according to plan. Travis and Dave also break down common misconceptions about becoming a fighter pilot, including the different branches of the military and the various paths available to aspiring aviators. If you’ve ever felt pressure to have your entire life mapped out—or questioned whether you’re “behind” because you don’t—this preview offers a refreshing perspective. It’s a conversation about ambition, identity, and the balance between vision and flexibility. Hit play to hear why chasing a dream is powerful—but staying open to change might be even more important.

Along the way, this episode highlights the realities behind elite career paths—how much comes down to timing, luck, and perseverance—and why even the most focused individuals must adapt when things don’t go according to plan. Travis and Dave also break down common misconceptions about becoming a fighter pilot, including the different branches of the military and the various paths available to aspiring aviators. If you’ve ever felt pressure to have your entire life mapped out—or questioned whether you’re “behind” because you don’t—this preview offers a refreshing perspective. It’s a conversation about ambition, identity, and the balance between vision and flexibility. Hit play to hear why chasing a dream is powerful—but staying open to change might be even more important.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Ever wonder what it really takes to turn a childhood dream into a high-stakes career—and whether having that kind of clarity early in life is actually an advantage? In this preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with former Marine fighter pilot Dave Berke to unpack the origin story behind a lifelong pursuit of flying—and the surprising mindset shifts that came along the way.

Dave shares how watching Top Gun as a teenager didn’t just entertain him—it fundamentally shaped his vision for the future. Growing up near a Marine Corps air station in Orange County, he was constantly surrounded by the sights and sounds of fighter jets, embedding a fascination with aviation deep into his psyche. What started as inspiration quickly turned into obsession, as Dave developed an unusually clear sense of direction at a young age—down to the exact squadron he hoped to join.

But this conversation goes beyond a typical “follow your dreams” narrative. Travis and Dave explore whether that level of early certainty is actually necessary—or even healthy. Dave reflects candidly on why he doesn’t necessarily recommend having such a rigid path so young, emphasizing that success doesn’t require everything to be figured out in advance. For most people, experimentation and flexibility are far more valuable tools.

You’ll also hear the pivotal moment where Dave made a bold, unconventional decision: turning down a full Air Force ROTC scholarship to pursue his goal of becoming a Marine aviator. Despite being offered a more “secure” path to flight school, he chose uncertainty—betting on his long-term vision even without guarantees. That decision led him down a much tougher road, starting with a ground contract and the grueling process of Officer Candidate School.

Travis and Dave also break down common misconceptions about becoming a fighter pilot, including the different branches of the military and the various paths available to aspiring aviators.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to have your entire life mapped out—or questioned whether you’re “behind” because you don’t—this preview offers a refreshing perspective. It’s a conversation about ambition, identity, and the balance between vision and flexibility.

Hit play to hear why chasing a dream is powerful—but staying open to change might be even more important.

]]> 745 SOLO | Make Money This Year by Becoming More Valuable On this solo episode, Travis lays out a simple, brutally honest blueprint for making more money this year without obsessing over skipping Starbucks or cutting every tiny expense. He breaks down how value, skills, relationships, and discipline work together so you can earn more, keep more, and actually change your financial trajectory instead of living in permanent “just getting by” mode. On this episode we talk about: Why focusing on saving $83 a month on coffee misses the real problem: you’re not making enough money yet The value equation: more value → more money, and why that starts with building high-leverage skills How to think about monetizable skills (like marketing and sales) versus low-leverage tasks anyone can learn in an afternoon Using relationships as the vehicle for opportunity and why “luck” is really preparation meeting opportunity Building financial discipline, avoiding lifestyle creep, and using “violent volume” on skills and networking to accelerate your earning power Top 3 Takeaways You don’t have a budgeting problem as much as you have a value and skills problem—income follows the value you can create for others. The fastest path to earning more is to build a high-leverage, in-demand skill, then pair it with the right relationships and opportunities. If you don’t build financial discipline, higher income just leads to higher lifestyle creep; living below your means and investing the delta is non‑negotiable. Notable Quotes “If you want to make more money, stop thinking about what’s in it for you and start thinking about the value you can provide to other people.” “You just have to be better than the person who’s paying you. That’s it. You don’t have to be the world’s greatest expert.” “You will get paid for the value that you bring to the marketplace. Full stop.

Instead of theory or strategy, they uncover a real, overlooked way to find money that may already belong to you. From live searches to calling family members on-air, this episode walks through how unclaimed property works—and how you could have cash waiting for you right now. On this episode we talk about: What “unclaimed property” is and how it works across all 50 states How to search for money that may already belong to you or your family Real examples of found money (from a few dollars to thousands) Why billions of dollars are sitting unclaimed in government accounts How this could turn into a simple side hustle or even a scalable business Top 3 Takeaways There is potentially free money sitting in your name right now—searching your state’s unclaimed property database takes just minutes. Small amounts add up, and even finding money for friends and family can create real value (or a side income).

]]> 1716 SOLO | Make Money with the Right Side Hustle (Without Burning the Boats) On this solo episode, Travis breaks down his personal framework for deciding which side hustles are actually worth your time, energy, and attention. Using real-world examples and mindset shifts, he shows you how to stop numbing out with Netflix and impulse buys and start using your “5-to-9” to escape a job you hate and build something you actually enjoy. On this episode we talk about: Why “burn the boats” advice is dangerous for most people with families, mortgages, and real responsibilities The mindset trap of tolerating a job you dislike and using money and free time to self-soothe instead of change your situation How to reallocate your free time and extra cash toward skills, side businesses, and opportunities that create leverage The four key qualifications of a good side hustle: fun, worth your time, scalable, and low cost to start Examples of side hustles that cap your income (like rideshare) versus ones that can grow into full-time businesses Top 3 Takeaways If you’re stuck in a job you don’t like, your free time and extra money must stop being used for escape and start being used for skills, leverage, and new opportunities. A great side hustle is enjoyable enough to stick with, pays you a meaningful hourly rate (or builds valuable skills/connections), and has the potential to scale beyond trading time for dollars. Start with low-cost experiments instead of high-risk plays; prove the model, learn the game, then scale into bigger bets once you know you actually like the work. Notable Quotes “You can’t have everything you want without having sacrificed to get it. At some point, a sacrifice will be required.” “Money’s like a relationship, man. You’ve got to treat it well, treat it with respect…you want money to love spending time with you.” “Just because you can make some money doing something doesn’t mean it’s worth the time it takes to make that money.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1281 INTERVIEW | Make Money Turning Your Expertise Into Scalable IP with Mike Kim Mike Kim is a three-time bestselling author, speaker, and strategic advisor who helps thought leaders, coaches, and authors turn what they do best into intellectual property that actually scales. He’s generated over $5M in revenue from his expertise, wrote the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller You Are the Brand, and has worked with New York Times bestselling authors and experts featured on PBS, TED, CNN, and Fox. In addition to speaking at events like South by Southwest, Social Media Marketing World, and Podcast Movement, he hosts the top-rated Brand U podcast, giving him a unique vantage point on where personal branding and AI are headed next. On this episode we talk about: Shutting down a successful marketing agency to build a lean, lifestyle-friendly business around coaching, communities, and IP How AI is reshaping creative work and why deep expertise and lived experience still command a premium The “time, money, or skills” framework for building offers that people will always pay for Turning one core set of ideas into multiple streams of income by niching your IP into specific industries Why building an audience now is non‑negotiable, even if you don’t yet know what you’ll sell Top 3 Takeaways You can intentionally downsize from an overextended agency into a lean business built on coaching, communities, and IP—and often make more while enjoying life more. In an AI world, the most defensible asset is your combination of deep expertise, clarity of thinking, and ability to apply principles to specific people and markets. If you help people make or save time, money, or skills—and you pair that with an owned audience—you’ll always have a path to six or seven figures. Notable Quotes “If your business helps people make money, make time, or gain a skill—or saves them from any of those—you will make money no matter what.” “AI can pull the levers, but it can’t replace years of insight, wisdom, and lived experience in a specific domain.” “Don’t wait to build an audience until you know what to sell.

]]> 1752 SOLO | Make Money Buying a Home (Even When Everyone Says Not To) On this solo episode, Travis breaks down why he still believes buying a home is worth it, even in a high-price, high-interest-rate environment. Drawing from his own journey of buying, selling, and renting in different markets, he walks through the numbers, the mindset, and the long-term strategy that make homeownership a powerful wealth-building tool—not just a “nice to have.” On this episode we talk about: Why some finance voices say “don’t buy a house” and where Travis lands after years of going back and forth How owning a home creates a deeper sense of community, belonging, and personal responsibility Why your primary residence acts as a forced savings plan for people who struggle to keep excess cash in the bank The math behind rent vs. mortgage over 30 years, including appreciation, inflation, and total cash outlay When it actually makes sense to prioritize flexibility and renting—and how to still get into real estate if you love the renter lifestyle Top 3 Takeaways Even if your primary home isn’t a classic “cash-flowing asset,” it still forces you to save, build equity, and hedge against inflation in a way rent never will. Over a 30-year period, locking in a fixed mortgage can save you hundreds of thousands to over a million dollars versus renting a similar home as rents rise with inflation. If you value flexibility, you can still rent where you live—but you should be looking for ways to own real estate somewhere so you’re not stuck paying ever-increasing rent forever. Notable Quotes “If you buy a house, just freaking keep that thing, man. If it’s at all possible for your finances, keep the damn home.” “Your rental expense will never go away. It will never be zero. One of these options helps hedge against inflation; the other makes you lose money for the rest of your life.” “Over 30 years, I basically get paid to live in this house, while the renter in the same place is out two million dollars with nothing to show for it.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1451 CO-HOST | Make Money by Charging What You’re Really Worth In this episode, Travis sits down with his friend and recurring co-host Eric to unpack what it actually means to be “overpaid” and why most entrepreneurs are dramatically undercharging for the value they create. Through personal stories, client examples, and a few well-placed quotes from Alex Hormozi and The Alchemist, they break down how to think about pricing from your ideal client’s perspective instead of your own bank account. On this episode we talk about: Why being called “overpaid” can be a sign you’re finally monetizing your skill set correctly How blue‑collar beliefs about “real work” can sabotage modern knowledge workers and creators Pricing from your client’s lens: why an extra $1,500 a month means nothing to an eight‑figure business if you deliver The danger of projecting your own budget onto high‑net‑worth clients and how it limits your earning power Why charging more often lets you overdeliver: better support, better tools, and a better overall client experience Top 3 Takeaways If no one has ever thought or said you’re “overpaid,” you’re probably under‑monetizing your skills and anchoring your prices to your own finances instead of your client’s value. Your job is not to decide whether your pricing is “too much”; your buyer decides based on the size of their problem, their resources, and the results you deliver. When you charge enough, you can overdeliver—hire support, use better software, and create a premium experience that makes higher prices feel like a no‑brainer to the right clients. Notable Quotes “You cannot price the things that you are selling based on your ability to pay for those things.” “Is it overpriced, or is it undervalued? The only person that gets to decide that is the person who’s paying you.” “Never ask the universe for less, because if you do, it might hear you and give you less next time.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1679 SOLO | Make Money by Mastering Reaction Management with the BASS Method Even though this is a solo episode, Travis steps in as your guide through one of the most underrated money-making skills: managing your reactions in a world engineered to keep you emotionally hijacked. Drawing from personal stories, psychology, and stoic philosophy, he walks through his BASS Method—Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share—to help you turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for growth, better relationships, and ultimately better decision-making in life and business. On this episode we talk about: How media and marketing are designed to make you feel lonely and “not enough” Why negativity bias makes certain ads and headlines so effective The Victoria’s Secret body positivity example and what it reveals about identity and marketing The BASS Method: Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share (Travis’s reaction management framework) How to reframe “bad days” and emotional triggers into opportunities for connection and growth Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is saturated with negative messaging, but you can reclaim control by intentionally managing your reactions instead of letting emotions run your day. The BASS Method—take three deep breaths, ask better questions about your feelings, solve from a calm, third-party perspective, and share the win with someone close—helps you build a stronger identity as someone who handles problems with composure. Most events are neutral; your perception creates the story. Learning to interrogate your feelings in the middle of an emotional spike gives you more power, better relationships, and less unnecessary suffering. Notable Quotes “We have to become proficient at distracting ourselves from the distractions.” “Most events are just events. We have the ability to control whether or not we perceive it to be a good or bad event.” “Ultimately, nobody else has power over my emotional state except for me.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1302 CO-HOST | Make Money Using Kevin O’Leary’s Mom’s 20% Rule In this co-hosted episode, Travis is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a fun, fast-paced conversation about wealth-building, viral money clips, and what most people get wrong about “getting rich.” They react to Kevin O’Leary’s story about his mom quietly becoming wealthy by putting 20% of every paycheck into dividend-paying stocks and bonds for decades, riff on the clickbait culture around money advice, and then bring it back to Travis’s core philosophy: build wealth slowly and predictably, but don’t postpone your entire life until retirement. Along the way, they veer into Oscars memes, Macaulay Culkin’s ridiculous legal name change, and a hilarious thought experiment involving Kevin O’Leary, a ping pong paddle, and “how much would it take?” On this episode we talk about: Kevin O’Leary’s mom’s simple investing rules and how she quietly built serious wealth over 60+ years Why “a little bit of money over a long period of time” is the boring but reliable path to getting rich The danger of panic-selling during market crashes and why Travis treats long-term investments as “gone” The tension between saving aggressively for the future and actually enjoying your life in the present How to think about increasing your income so 20% investing doesn’t mean 0% joy Clickbait money culture, viral Diary of a CEO clips, and Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin A ridiculous (and very on-brand) segment about what it would take to let Mr. Wonderful spank you with a ping pong paddle Top 3 Takeaways Consistency beats complexity: Automatically investing a fixed percentage of your income into broad, dividend-paying markets and not touching the principal over decades is one of the most reliable ways to build wealth. Your biggest enemy is usually your own behavior; panic-selling in downturns destroys long-term gains, which is why Travis mentally treats invested money as off-limits instead of “available cash.” Don’t sacrifice your entire present for a hypothetical future—if 20% investing leaves you with nothing for experiences you care about, the real assignment is to raise your income so you can fund both your future and your current life. Notable Quotes “Once I invest the money, it’s gone. I shipped it overseas to go fight my war for me.” “You’re purposefully choosing a worse life now for a better one later, which is usually good—but if you only ever do that, you never really enjoy the present.” “If you think there’s no number, you’re lying to yourself.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Kevin O’Leary’s mom’s simple investing rules and how she quietly built serious wealth over 60+ years

  • Why “a little bit of money over a long period of time” is the boring but reliable path to getting rich

  • The danger of panic-selling during market crashes and why Travis treats long-term investments as “gone”

  • The tension between saving aggressively for the future and actually enjoying your life in the present

  • How to think about increasing your income so 20% investing doesn’t mean 0% joy

  • Clickbait money culture, viral Diary of a CEO clips, and Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin

  • A ridiculous (and very on-brand) segment about what it would take to let Mr. Wonderful spank you with a ping pong paddle

]]> 1398 INTERVIEW | Make Money in “Unsexy” Industries, feat. David Royce David Royce is a four-time founder and serial entrepreneur who has quietly built an empire in “unsexy” home services. Starting as a broke college kid who was terrible at sales, he turned door-to-door pest control into a personal masterclass—eventually founding and exiting multiple companies for a combined enterprise value approaching $200 million in his 30s, and later scaling Aptiv Environmental to over $500 million in annual revenue and 6,500 employees across 5,000 cities. He’s an expert at creating powerful sales engines, leveraging door-to-door in overlooked industries, and structuring exits so he can keep the “golden goose” that drives growth. On this episode we talk about: How David went from broke college student to top rookie in door-to-door pest control sales in a single summer Why door-to-door sales is still one of the best training grounds for future entrepreneurs The strategy behind building four pest control companies and repeatedly selling the “book of business” while keeping the sales engine How he used culture, training, and transparent data to massively outperform competing sales programs Smart compensation structures and retention tactics for commission-based sales teams Why he finally exited Aptiv in 2025 and what he’s thinking about for his “post-money” chapter The massive opportunity in blue-collar businesses and what excites him about AI and the coming “silver tsunami” Top 3 Takeaways You don’t have to be naturally gifted at sales to win; stubbornness, daily learning, and high-volume reps can turn you from zero deals in your first week into the top rookie in the company. The real asset isn’t just the customers—it’s the growth engine. If you keep the sales systems, leadership, and culture in-house, you can sell the book of business, reload with capital, and build again on the same foundation. Culture perks get people in the door, but elite training, clear data, and a high-performance environment are what actually keep great sales reps and drive outsized results over time. Notable Quotes “You can be killing it and dying at the same time if you don’t understand cash flow.” “We’d sell the customers, but we’d never sell the growth engine. We kept the golden goose.” “Door to door is one of the best educations you can give yourself—especially in a world where AI will automate so much.

]]> 1826 SOLO | Make Money by Being a Better Friend to Your Clients In this solo episode, host Travis Chappell answers a listener question from Amber about how to set boundaries with clients who become friends—and how to build genuine friendships in entrepreneurship. Drawing from his own experiences in masterminds, coaching, and community-building, Travis breaks down the tension between “being helpful” and “being a doormat,” and offers a healthier, more sustainable way to think about fees, friendships, and long-term relationships in business. He also shares real stories of how transactional thinking destroys trust, while relational thinking creates more opportunity over time. On this episode we talk about: Why some experts preach “keep clients at arm’s length” and why that never sat right with Travis The awkward tension when friends want free access to paid programs, coaching, or communities How to intentionally set the culture in your groups so friends support each other’s businesses instead of asking for discounts The importance of thinking like a therapist and separating “billable” time from pure friendship time Why your Ascension model should allow clients to “graduate” from you without burning the relationship Two contrasting mastermind experiences that show the difference between transactional vs. relational leaders Why long-term business wins go to givers who view people as humans, not just as numbers or transactions Top 3 Takeaways As the leader, it’s your job to set the culture: real friends support each other’s businesses instead of always asking for free or discounted access. Think like a therapist and maintain clear lines between paid, professional interactions and genuine, no-strings-attached friendship—even when you like and care about your clients. Build an Ascension model that lets people “graduate” from your programs while still staying in relationship; when you treat people relationally instead of transactionally, you earn more trust, more referrals, and more opportunities over the long term.

]]> 1291 CO-HOST | Make Money by Rethinking College, Careers, and the Skilled Trades In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell sits down with his producer Eric for a candid, humorous, and thought-provoking conversation about the modern job market. Using insights sparked by commentary from Mike Rowe, they break down why traditional career paths may no longer be the smartest route—and why skilled trades and alternative learning paths are becoming increasingly valuable in today’s economy. On this episode we talk about: The growing demand for skilled trades and the massive shortage of workers Why college debt is becoming a riskier investment for many young people How AI and automation are reshaping high-skill professions like law and medicine The concept of “earning while you learn” through apprenticeships and hands-on work How to evaluate career paths based on future demand, not outdated societal expectations Top 3 Takeaways Skilled trades are becoming some of the most in-demand and highest-paying opportunities due to a shrinking workforce. Taking on massive student loan debt without a clear plan can delay wealth-building and limit future financial freedom. The future job market will reward adaptability—hands-on skills and real-world experience may outperform traditional degrees. Notable Quotes "The job market works on supply and demand—if fewer people can do the job, it’s worth more." "Getting into debt to figure out what you want to do is a pretty wild decision."

]]> 1543 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Turning Content Into a Real Business, feat. Jake Polino Jake Polino is a content creator turned entrepreneur who built an audience through sneaker content and leveraged it into a scalable brand. Starting with viral TikToks and DIY sneaker customization, Jake learned firsthand that views don’t always equal income—leading him to co-found Kizo, a sneaker company built on the back of his audience and creative expertise. On this episode we talk about: Why going viral doesn’t mean you’re making money—and the reality of creator income How Jake transitioned from sneaker content to building a real, scalable business The biggest misconceptions about followers, views, and monetization Why every creator should eventually build a product or brand they own The step-by-step approach to growing on social media from zero today Why consistency and volume are the real keys to going viral Key Takeaways: Jake’s journey highlights a critical truth in today’s creator economy: attention alone isn’t enough. Despite generating millions of views, he made little money directly from platforms, forcing him to think bigger about ownership and scalability. Instead of relying on inconsistent brand deals or algorithm-driven income, Jake built Kizo to monetize his audience sustainably. By aligning his product with his passion (sneakers), he created something authentic that his audience actually wanted to buy. The conversation also breaks down the modern content landscape—where followers matter less than ever, and each post acts as its own “lottery ticket.” Success comes from volume, iteration, and constantly improving your craft. For anyone starting today, Jake emphasizes simplicity: use your phone, post consistently, and double down on what works. Over time, those reps compound into opportunities that can completely change your trajectory.

Instead of relying on inconsistent brand deals or algorithm-driven income, Jake built Kizo to monetize his audience sustainably. By aligning his product with his passion (sneakers), he created something authentic that his audience actually wanted to buy. The conversation also breaks down the modern content landscape—where followers matter less than ever, and each post acts as its own “lottery ticket.” Success comes from volume, iteration, and constantly improving your craft. For anyone starting today, Jake emphasizes simplicity: use your phone, post consistently, and double down on what works. Over time, those reps compound into opportunities that can completely change your trajectory.

  • Why going viral doesn’t mean you’re making money—and the reality of creator income
  • How Jake transitioned from sneaker content to building a real, scalable business
  • The biggest misconceptions about followers, views, and monetization
  • Why every creator should eventually build a product or brand they own
  • The step-by-step approach to growing on social media from zero today
  • Why consistency and volume are the real keys to going viral

]]> 1658 SOLO | Make Money by Building Better Friendships Aristotle, one of history’s greatest thinkers, explored the nature of friendship thousands of years ago—and his insights are more relevant today than ever. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down Aristotle’s three types of friendships and connects them to modern life, success, and even income. By understanding how your relationships shape your decisions, opportunities, and mindset, you can intentionally build a network—and a life—that actually moves you forward. On this episode we talk about: The three types of friendships: utility, pleasure, and virtue Why mislabeling relationships leads to disappointment and frustration How your friendships directly impact your income and life trajectory The danger of outsourcing your values to groups or belief systems Why friendships of virtue are rare—but the most important to cultivate Top 3 Takeaways Not all friendships are created equal—understanding the difference helps you set better expectations and avoid unnecessary disappointment. Friendships of virtue (shared values and mutual growth) are the most meaningful and long-lasting, but they require intentional effort to build. Your network isn’t just about proximity or shared interests—it's about alignment in values, and that alignment determines the quality of your life and success. Notable Quotes "If you don’t categorize your friendships, you’ll expect the wrong things from the wrong people." "People will learn more from how you live than what you say—and the same goes for who you surround yourself with." "It’s never a bad thing to have people in your life who are genuinely conspiring for your success."

Sparked by a powerful clip from performance coach Tim Grover, Travis reflects on the tension between ambition and family, sharing personal stories, hard truths, and the mental frameworks he uses to navigate work, fatherhood, and long-term fulfillment. On this episode we talk about: The emotional trade-offs between building a career and being present with your kids Why kids learn more from your actions than your words The concept of “seasons” in work-life balance How to think about regret when making career vs. family decisions Practical ways to be fully present—whether you’re working or at home Top 3 Takeaways There is no perfect balance—life operates in seasons, and different periods require different priorities. Your kids are always watching—modeling work ethic and purpose is just as important as spending time with them. Wherever you are, be there—presence matters more than splitting your attention between work and family. Notable Quotes "Kids will always learn more through what they see than what you say to them."

]]> 1451 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Reinventing a Boring Industry, feat. Brynn MacLennan Brynn MacLennan is a serial entrepreneur and product designer who’s been building businesses since she was just 13 years old. With a background in product design and experience working alongside the dental industry, Brynn co-founded an innovative electric flosser designed to make oral care easier, more effective, and actually enjoyable. Her journey spans everything from launching a bounce house company as a teenager to buying and scaling a dental practice—and now disrupting a legacy industry with a modern, dentist-backed product. On this episode we talk about: Why most people floss incorrectly—and how that impacts dental health The process of designing and manufacturing a physical product from scratch Buying, scaling, and selling a dental practice The realities of launching via Kickstarter (and what she’d do differently) Building a multi-channel business across DTC, Amazon, and retail (including Target) Top 3 Takeaways Making a “boring” habit easier (like flossing) can unlock massive business opportunities—simplicity drives adoption. Big companies and internships can provide invaluable systems and process knowledge before starting your own business. Distribution is everything—success in DTC, Amazon, or retail each comes with unique challenges, and none are “set it and forget it.” Notable Quotes "If we made flossing easy and effective, people wouldn’t hate going to the dentist." "I know how to build a million-dollar company—but building a hundred-million-dollar company is a different game." "Entrepreneurship is constant ups and downs—just when you feel on top, something changes."

Drawing from both his own experiences and insights gathered from top performers, Travis breaks down why self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. He opens up about the internal struggles that come with ambition and offers practical ways to build a healthier relationship with yourself so you can show up better in business and in life. On this episode we talk about: Why self-care is foundational to success and avoiding burnout The dangers of comparing yourself to others in the social media age How negative self-talk silently sabotages your growth Breaking free from other people’s expectations and defining your own path Simple, practical habits to improve your physical and mental health Top 3 Takeaways You can’t perform at a high level or help others if you’re running on empty—self-care directly impacts your output. Comparison distorts reality—focus on your own journey instead of someone else’s highlight reel. Small, consistent health habits (sleep, protein, walking, hydration) have an outsized impact on your energy, confidence, and longevity. Notable Quotes "You cannot fill up other people’s cups if your cup is empty." "If someone talked to me the way I talk to myself, we’d be throwing hands."

]]> 1355 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Darren Prince Ready to rethink how—and when—to make the ask in your relationships? In this powerful preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with entrepreneur and recovery advocate Darren Prince to break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of networking: how to ask for help without damaging trust. Darren pulls back the curtain on what it really means to build “relationship capital” with high-level people—and why most people get it completely wrong. While the common advice is to always give and never ask, Darren explains that the timing and intent behind the ask is what actually matters. He shares how he’s built relationships with some of the biggest names in business and sports by being hyper-aware of people’s time, never forcing opportunities, and treating relationships like an unspoken bank account—where deposits must far outweigh withdrawals. You’ll hear why Darren almost never “leverages” his network for personal gain, how he distinguishes between meaningful causes and business opportunities, and why authenticity is the ultimate filter in any interaction. From subtle missteps—like asking too soon—to the long-term consequences of being perceived as transactional, this conversation highlights how quickly trust can be lost in today’s hyper-connected world. Travis and Darren also dive into the psychology of connection, why most people confuse making a connection with building a relationship, and how genuine curiosity—about someone’s life, family, and interests—creates a foundation that makes business feel natural instead of forced. They explore why modern networking often feels “gross,” how social media has lowered the barrier to access but not improved relationship quality, and why playing the long game is the only strategy that works. But this episode goes deeper than business. Darren shares how his personal journey through addiction and recovery reshaped his definition of success, fulfillment, and relationships. From a life once driven by external validation—cars, status, and money—to one centered on service, healing, and purpose, he explains how doing the inner work transformed not only his life, but the caliber of people he attracts. If you’ve ever struggled with when to make an ask, how to build relationships that don’t feel transactional, or how to connect with high-level people without burning bridges, this preview offers a raw and honest look at what it actually takes. Hit play to learn why the best relationships aren’t built on what you can get—but on who you become.

]]> 1620 SOLO | Make Money by Building Unshakeable Confidence If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wondered why confidence seems to come so easily to others, this episode breaks it all down. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell pulls back the curtain on what actually creates real confidence—not surface-level affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make-it energy, but earned, sustainable belief in yourself. Drawing from years of interviews with top performers, personal experience, and hard-won lessons, Travis introduces a powerful framework: treating confidence like a bank account—where your daily actions either make deposits or withdrawals. On this episode we talk about: Why most “confidence advice” is misleading—and can actually hurt you The “confidence bank account” framework (deposits vs. withdrawals) How integrity and self-trust directly impact your confidence The role of rejection—and why it’s not the real problem Practical ways to build confidence through commitment, consistency, and results Top 3 Takeaways Confidence isn’t built through affirmations—it’s earned through keeping promises to yourself and doing the work consistently. Every action either deposits into or withdraws from your “confidence bank account,” especially the small things you do when no one is watching. The fastest way to build confidence is to commit fully, put in high-volume reps, and stay in the game long enough to see real results. Notable Quotes "Confidence doesn’t come from shouting affirmations—it comes from evidence that you do what you say you’re going to do." "If you don’t trust yourself, how can you expect to feel confident?" "The courage to commit gives you freedom—because quitting is no longer an option."

]]> 1916 CO-HOST | Make Money by Redefining Traditional Gender Roles, part 1 On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis sits down with his in-house producer to unpack how modern couples can navigate money, marriage, and identity when traditional gender roles are flipped or blurred. Drawing on Travis’s own journey with his wife Jackie—from dual incomes to traditional roles and back again—they explore what actually works for a relationship financially and emotionally, beyond cultural or religious expectations. On this episode we talk about: Growing up in patriarchal, religious environments and how that shapes money and marriage expectations How Travis and Jackie experimented with dual-income dynamics and evolving career goals The emotional impact on men when their partner earns more—and what that does to their sense of masculinity Why Travis and Jackie ultimately decided to return to more traditional roles and how it affected their finances and happiness How high-earning couples can creatively structure childcare, lifestyle, and work (nannies, travel, homeschooling, etc.) Top 3 Takeaways You cannot copy-paste “ideal” gender roles from culture or religion; you have to design a structure that actually works for your specific relationship and be brutally honest about it. Financial contribution is not the only measure of value in a relationship—clear communication about expectations, roles, and respect matters more than who brings in the bigger paycheck. Traditional roles often work well for many couples, but they should be a conscious, strategic choice based on strengths, earning power, and personal fulfillment—not just “the way it’s always been done.” Notable Quotes "We were doing this almost for the sake of combating traditional gender roles, but at the detriment of our own financial success and happiness." "My ability to earn so far outweighs her ability to earn with our current skill sets that it just doesn’t make sense for me to spend my time cleaning the house or worrying about dinner." "You have to be willing to say some of the quiet parts out loud if you want to find what’s really going to work for your relationship."

Alan Stein, Jr. Alan Stein Jr. is a seasoned performance coach, keynote speaker, and author who has spent over 15 years working with some of the highest-performing basketball players in the world, including Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Kobe Bryant. Known for blending elite athletic principles with business performance, Alan now helps leaders and organizations improve mindset, leadership, and team dynamics. His journey from basketball performance coach to top keynote speaker offers powerful lessons on discipline, humility, and long-term growth. On this episode we talk about: Why “adding value and being of service” is the ultimate career growth strategy The importance of saying yes early—and earning the right to say no later How mindset separates elite performers when talent is equal Transitioning careers and starting over without ego Building a keynote speaking business through reps, feedback, and coaching Top 3 Takeaways Earn the right to say no — Early in any new venture, say yes to everything to build reps, experience, and credibility before becoming selective. Mindset is the ultimate differentiator — At elite levels, skill is assumed; mental discipline and emotional control create separation. Reps + feedback = growth — Consistent practice, self-review (like watching film), and hiring coaches dramatically accelerate progress. Notable Quotes "Repetition is not punishment.

Rather than focusing on external success, Travis dives into a deeper internal challenge—loneliness—and unpacks why the true solution isn’t more social activity, but a stronger relationship with yourself. On this episode we talk about: The difference between loneliness (internal) and social isolation (external) Why the true antidote to loneliness is learning to be alone Practical frameworks for developing meaningful solitude How distraction prevents self-awareness and fuels loneliness Turning self-reflection into real action and personal growth Top 3 Takeaways Loneliness is internal, not external — You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely if you lack connection with yourself. Solitude is a skill — Learning to be alone without distraction builds self-awareness, clarity, and emotional resilience. Self-respect drives connection — How you view yourself directly impacts your ability to form meaningful relationships with others. Notable Quotes "The antidote to loneliness is actually aloneness."

]]> 1351 CO-HOST | Make Money Like an Athlete (Without Going Broke Like One) In this episode, Travis is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a fun, fast-paced conversation about what everyday earners can learn from pro athletes’ best and worst money decisions. Using quotes from icons like Magic Johnson, Serena Williams, Muhammad Ali, and others, they break down how to think about saving, lifestyle creep, family pressure, and building businesses so you don’t end up as another “made millions, lost millions” cautionary tale. On this episode we talk about: Why “save at least 50% and never touch it” is elite-level money advice for athletes and high earners The trap of trading future earnings for upfront cash (and why those predatory “career earnings” loans are so dangerous) Serena Williams’ approach to investing in companies vs. “having things” and what that means for regular investors The pressure athletes feel to take care of friends and family—and how that generosity can quietly destroy their financial future How to use your “prime years” income to build a baseline of wealth in simple vehicles like the S&P 500 Top 3 Takeaways If you have a short earning window (like athletes, creators, or commission-heavy salespeople), treat every high-income year like it could be your last and aim to save at least half. You can love your people and still set firm financial boundaries—take care of yourself first, then help others from passive income, not from your core nest egg. Your real long-term security comes from simple, boring investing and building businesses and assets around your personal brand, not from flashy purchases or one big contract. Notable Quotes “Work really hard when it feels really easy to make the money, and then live on half the lifestyle you could actually afford.” “You can take care of your family, that’s fine—but it’s not going to be on the first time you sign a deal.” “Get to your number first, then start helping people with the money your money is making, not by giving away your whole paycheck.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@travischappellclips Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

  • The pressure athletes feel to take care of friends and family—and how that generosity can quietly destroy their financial future

  • How to use your “prime years” income to build a baseline of wealth in simple vehicles like the S&P 500

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. If you have a short earning window (like athletes, creators, or commission-heavy salespeople), treat every high-income year like it could be your last and aim to save at least half.

  2. You can love your people and still set firm financial boundaries—take care of yourself first, then help others from passive income, not from your core nest egg.

  3. Your real long-term security comes from simple, boring investing and building businesses and assets around your personal brand, not from flashy purchases or one big contract.

Notable Quotes

  • “Work really hard when it feels really easy to make the money, and then live on half the lifestyle you could actually afford.”

  • “You can take care of your family, that’s fine—but it’s not going to be on the first time you sign a deal.”

  • “Get to your number first, then start helping people with the money your money is making, not by giving away your whole paycheck.”

]]> 1506 SOLO | Make Money by Feeling Better: Protect Your Mind, Guard Your Inputs, and Build Real Community In this solo episode, Travis Chapel shares his personal playbook for feeling better so you can show up stronger in life and business. Drawing from years in the personal development space, he breaks down why so many of us feel worse than ever in the best time in history to be alive and what to actually do about it. Travis offers simple, practical mindset and lifestyle shifts that any entrepreneur or high-achiever can use to improve their mood, energy, and outlook. On this episode we talk about: Why we’re in a mental health crisis in the “best time to be alive” How overconsuming politics and negative news wrecks your mood and focus The importance of monitoring your inputs (media, conversations, and content) What Blue Zones teach us about community, belonging, and longevity How to build a daily and in-the-moment gratitude practice that rewires your brain Top 3 Takeaways Your inputs become your outputs: if you constantly consume negative, fear-based content—especially politics and 24/7 news—you will inevitably feel more anxious, pessimistic, and drained over time. Real, in-person community and a sense of belonging are proven longevity multipliers; scheduling time with friends, family, and shared experiences (dinners, game nights, concerts, comedy) is one of the fastest ways to feel better. Gratitude is a powerful “hack” for mood: practicing it daily and intentionally amplifying good moments in real time helps reshape your neural pathways so your default state shifts from fear and stress toward joy, peace, and possibility. Notable Quotes "Your inputs become your outputs, so if you’re constantly consuming negativity, you’re going to feel an overall dampening of your mood." "Nobody on this planet sees reality as it is—we all see it through our skewed perspective, which means you get to choose the version of reality that’s most useful to you." "It’s impossible to be anxious and grateful at the same time, so the more you practice gratitude, the more often you’ll find yourself in a better state."

In this conversation, they dissect a viral Instagram post from a pastor’s wife describing how her family “lived in tents” all summer to give more to their church — and what this kind of messaging reveals about financial guilt, obedience, and influence inside religious communities. On this episode we talk about: The viral story of a pastor’s family living in tents to “obey God” The psychology and marketing behind “sacrificial giving” How financial guilt and spiritual manipulation intersect in faith-based settings The blurred line between faith-driven generosity and predatory persuasion What healthy, values-based giving actually looks like Top 3 Takeaways Be cautious when emotion-driven appeals push you toward extreme financial decisions “in the name of faith.” True generosity doesn’t require self-destruction — giving should align with your responsibilities and capacity. Charitable impact can extend beyond the church; supporting people and causes directly can be just as meaningful.

]]> 1666 SOLO | Make Money by Changing What Isn’t Working In this solo episode, Travis tells the story of his brief 9–5 corporate stint, why it pushed him to rethink everything, and how you can decide what really needs to change in your own life—your environment, your goals, your expectations, or your attitude. On this episode we talk about: Travis’s journey from Bible college and ministry track into door-to-door solar sales. How a short corporate job and one Home Depot incident exposed the frustrations of traditional corporate culture. Why “life doesn’t owe you your dreams” and what that really means in practice. The four levers you can pull when you’re unhappy: environment, goals, expectations, and attitude. The scary but necessary step of actually changing something if you want different results in life. Top 3 Takeaways If your current reality doesn’t match your desired life, something has to change—staying the same but expecting new results is a dead end. Start by evaluating whether you need a new environment (job, industry, structure) or whether you’re willing to adjust your goals and expectations to fit your current path. If you won’t change your circumstances, you must change your attitude; learning to be content and grateful is a superpower, but it won’t replace action if you want big outcomes. Notable Quotes "Life does not owe you your dreams just because you checked the boxes you thought you were supposed to check." "If you are not okay with where you are now, something has to change in order for you to be okay with whatever's going to happen." "Be willing to change something, or accept that life is going to look much different than you wanted it to look like."

]]> 1471 CO-HOST | Make Money in a Gen Z Job Market (Without Getting Stuck) In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into a viral headline about Gen Z getting fired at record rates and unpack what’s really going on beneath the clickbait. Between jokes about McDonald’s new Big Arch burger and “feeders,” they get practical about how younger workers, leaders, and companies can actually win together in a changing job market. On this episode we talk about: Why “60% of companies fired Gen Z employees” might be more about headlines than hopelessness How COVID, remote work, and a broken job market shaped Gen Z’s communication and workplace expectations Why work ethic usually isn’t the problem—and why buy-in, incentives, and leadership matter more The rise of “fractionalized entrepreneurship” and why many young people prefer building their own path Practical ways leaders can adapt and how Gen Z can protect themselves, negotiate raises, and stay mobile Top 3 Takeaways Gen Z isn’t “broken”; the job market and work structures have changed, and leaders who cling to old playbooks will keep losing young talent instead of learning how to motivate them. Loyalty to a single company is rarely rewarded the way it was for past generations, so you have to advocate for yourself—ask for raises, watch how minimum wage changes affect your real pay, and stay open to moving roles or companies. Many Gen Z workers will gravitate toward side hustles and entrepreneurship because they want impact, autonomy, and flexibility—not because they lack work ethic, but because they’re not willing to grind forever for a company that doesn’t share those values.

Between jokes about McDonald’s new Big Arch burger and “feeders,” they get practical about how younger workers, leaders, and companies can actually win together in a changing job market. On this episode we talk about: Why “60% of companies fired Gen Z employees” might be more about headlines than hopelessness How COVID, remote work, and a broken job market shaped Gen Z’s communication and workplace expectations Why work ethic usually isn’t the problem—and why buy-in, incentives, and leadership matter more The rise of “fractionalized entrepreneurship” and why many young people prefer building their own path Practical ways leaders can adapt and how Gen Z can protect themselves, negotiate raises, and stay mobile Top 3 Takeaways Gen Z isn’t “broken”; the job market and work structures have changed, and leaders who cling to old playbooks will keep losing young talent instead of learning how to motivate them.

]]> 1677 SOLO | Make Money with the 6 Pillars for Advancing Social Connection In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down the U.S. Surgeon General’s six-pillar framework for advancing human connection and adds his own entrepreneurial, personal-responsibility spin on each one. Drawing from national health guidance and his own experiences, Travis explores where government and institutions can help, where they fall short, and how individuals can practically respond to the loneliness epidemic in their own lives. On this episode we talk about: The Surgeon General’s six pillars for advancing social connection and combating loneliness Why strong local communities matter but don’t fully solve inner loneliness The limits of government and healthcare in fixing social disconnection How technology and social media both harm and can potentially help real-world connection The importance of personal responsibility and building a better relationship with yourself Top 3 Takeaways Social infrastructure, public policy, and healthcare reforms can support connection, but they will never replace individual responsibility to build real relationships and community in your own life. Reforming digital environments and media incentives is important, yet the most powerful “regulation” is you setting boundaries around your own and your kids’ tech use and prioritizing in-person connection. You can’t cure loneliness just by being around more people; you have to deepen your relationship with yourself so that you’re comfortable with aloneness and able to form healthier connections with others. Notable Quotes “You can’t outsource these problems to other people. This is a major problem with huge consequences, and you have to take personal responsibility for it.” “Social isolation is the objective measurement of how much time you’re spending with others; loneliness is subjective, and you can’t fix it just by hanging out with more people.” “If you don’t like, trust, or respect yourself, it’s going to be really difficult for other people to like, trust, or respect you.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1490 CO-HOST | Make Money by Questioning Pastors’ Money Advice In this co-hosted episode, Travis is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a rapid-fire breakdown of famous pastors’ and Christian leaders’ quotes about money, generosity, and prosperity. Together, they react in real time, call out bad theology, laugh their way through some wild one-liners, and use the conversation to unpack how faith, finances, and common sense should actually intersect in real life. On this episode we talk about: Why “money is a bad master, good servant” still holds up—and where “steward it for eternity” loses people How misquoting “money is the root of all evil” has damaged a healthy view of building wealth Prosperity gospel red flags, from “Jesus as genie” teaching to sow-a-seed televangelist gimmicks The danger of paraphrased or AI-mashed “quotes” online and why fact-checking matters Why you don’t have to choose between being wealthy and having meaningful relationships Top 3 Takeaways A healthy money mindset sees money as a tool and servant, not a master; it’s neutral until you assign it purpose. Prosperity teaching that turns God into a vending machine—“give to get rich”—is manipulative and spiritually and financially harmful. Misquotes and bad theology around money (“money is the root of all evil”) keep people broke and confused, so you need to fact-check sources and own your personal philosophy about wealth.

Tedards join the show to discuss what it actually takes to build organizations that innovate consistently—not just once, but over and over again. Linda Hill is a Harvard Business School professor and one of the world’s leading experts on leadership and innovation, ranked among the top management thinkers globally. Jason Wild brings the practitioner perspective, having led innovation initiatives at companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and IBM. Emily C. Tedards is a graduate researcher in organizational behavior at Harvard Business School and a doctoral fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. Together, they co-authored Genius at Scale, a book exploring how modern leaders create environments where innovation can thrive across teams, generations, and organizations. On this episode we talk about: Why many great ideas never get launched—and how leaders can change that The difference between leading change and leading innovation Why successful innovation requires co-creation instead of top-down leadership The power of “creative abrasion” and diverse perspectives in problem-solving How organizations can better integrate younger generations into leadership and innovation Top 3 Takeaways The best leaders don’t simply drive innovation—they build environments where people collaborate to create innovation together. Innovation leadership is about co-creation, not followership. Teams are more engaged when they feel they’re helping shape the future rather than executing someone else’s vision. Diversity of thought—including generational diversity—is a powerful advantage when solving complex problems and navigating uncertainty. Notable Quotes "Great leaders drive innovation—but they don’t drive alone." "If you want to innovate repeatedly at scale, you must create an environment where people can co-create the future together." "Innovation doesn’t happen because one person has the answer—it happens when many people bring their perspectives to the problem."

]]> 1999 SOLO | Make Money by Building Friendships in Your 30s In this solo episode, Travis Chappell tackles a common question many adults struggle with: Why is it so hard to make friends in your 30s? While friendships seemed effortless in school and college, adulthood introduces new challenges—more responsibilities, less free time, and a deeper sense of personal identity. Travis breaks down the psychological and practical reasons friendships become harder as we age, from increased self-awareness to the disappearance of built-in social circles. He also shares practical strategies to overcome these challenges—like intentionally structuring your schedule, putting yourself in public environments, and learning to initiate small conversations that can lead to meaningful connections. Why increased self-awareness makes finding common ground more difficult as we age How adult responsibilities and time management reduce opportunities for spontaneous friendships Why moving to a new city can disrupt the social networks that help friendships form Practical ways to meet new people by changing where and how you spend your time Why small conversations and simple compliments can open the door to connection 1. Self-awareness makes connection more selective.As people get older, they better understand their personalities, preferences, and boundaries. While this clarity is valuable, it can make it harder to find people with overlapping interests. 2.

]]> 1189 CO-HOST | Make Money with the Power of Perspective In this episode, Travis and producer Eric take a lighter, conversational approach—reacting to famous quotes about money from pastors, theologians, and religious thinkers. The discussion explores the long-standing tension between wealth, faith, and morality, as they debate whether money is inherently dangerous, a tool for good, or simply a neutral resource that reflects the character of the person who holds it. Along the way, they unpack ideas from figures like Billy Graham, John Wesley, Norman Vincent Peale, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Bunyan, and G. K. Chesterton—agreeing with some, pushing back on others, and laughing at a few that feel wildly out of touch. The result is a candid conversation about whether money corrupts people, empowers them to do good, or simply amplifies who they already are. The difference between having money and being controlled by money Why some religious traditions view wealth with suspicion Whether wealth can actually increase your ability to do good in the world The rise of prosperity gospel thinking and why it’s controversial Why some philosophical quotes sound profound but fall apart under scrutiny The idea that money itself isn’t moral or immoral—people are 1. Money isn’t inherently good or evil.Several quotes highlight the difference between possessing wealth and letting wealth possess you. The real issue is the character and priorities of the person handling the money. 2. Wealth can expand your ability to create impact.If used intentionally, having more financial resources can increase the scale of generosity, philanthropy, and positive change. 3. Ideas about money often reflect deeper beliefs about power, responsibility, and morality.Throughout history, thinkers and religious leaders have debated whether wealth leads to corruption or simply reveals a person’s true values. “There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches.

]]> 1335 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Changing Your Beliefs, feat. Nir Eyal Nir Eyal is a globally recognized authority on behavior design, habits, and human potential. A former lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Nir is the bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable, books that have sold more than a million copies worldwide and have shaped how entrepreneurs and product creators think about behavior change. He’s also a serial entrepreneur who has founded and sold multiple companies. In this episode, Nir returns to the show to discuss the ideas behind his new book Beyond Belief, exploring why belief—not knowledge or motivation—is often the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it. On this episode we talk about: Why knowing what to do isn’t enough—and why people still fail to take action The “motivation triangle” and how belief holds behavior and benefits together Why positive thinking and manifestation can actually backfire The role discomfort plays in motivation and long-term success How entrepreneurs develop “entrepreneurial alertness” and see opportunities others miss Top 3 Takeaways Motivation isn’t a straight line—it’s a triangle that includes behavior, benefits, and belief. Without belief in the outcome or your ability to achieve it, motivation collapses. Visualizing outcomes alone can decrease your chances of success. Instead, visualize the obstacles you’ll face and mentally rehearse overcoming them. Beliefs shape perception. Entrepreneurs often see opportunities others miss because they believe opportunities exist—and their brain actively searches for them. Notable Quotes "Motivation is not about the pursuit of pleasure—it’s about the desire to escape discomfort." "Thinking positive can actually be negative if it tricks your brain into believing the work is already done." "Your beliefs literally change what you see. Entrepreneurs don’t just think differently—they actually perceive opportunities others overlook."

Travis shares personal experiences—from navigating a difficult season in business to recovering from cancer surgery—and explains how those moments reshaped the way he prioritizes relationships. Instead of focusing purely on business or money strategies, Travis dives into the overlooked reality that strong friendships are one of the biggest contributors to long-term happiness, health, and even professional success. He breaks down practical ways to become a better friend, how to intentionally create shared experiences, and why ambitious people often need to be extra careful not to sacrifice relationships in pursuit of achievement. On this episode we talk about: Why the modern loneliness epidemic is affecting people—especially men—more than ever How creating shared experiences is one of the best ways to strengthen friendships Why ambitious people often sacrifice friendships for work (and why that’s dangerous) How to prioritize friendships alongside work, family, and personal goals The power of asking deeper questions to build genuine connection Top 3 Takeaways If you want better friendships, become a better friend first.Strong relationships rarely happen by accident—you often need to be the person who organizes the hangouts, plans the trips, and brings people together. Don’t sacrifice friendships for ambition.Work and success matter, but neglecting meaningful relationships can lead to long-term regret. Scheduling time with friends is just as important as scheduling work. Deeper connection comes after trust—not before.Small talk isn’t pointless; it builds the foundation that allows deeper conversations and stronger friendships to develop.

]]> 1246 CO-HOST | Make Money by Giving (Even When You’re Not a Billionaire) In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and his producer Eric break down Forbes’ latest list of America’s top 25 philanthropists, using billionaire giving stats as a springboard to talk about generosity, impact, and what “giving back” should actually look like for everyday earners. They explore why MacKenzie Scott’s record-breaking donations grab headlines, how Warren Buffett’s decades-long giving compares to other billionaires, and why most people criticizing the ultra-wealthy aren’t doing anything meaningful with their own money. On this episode we talk about: Forbes’ data on America’s top 25 philanthropists and why the richest people often aren’t the most generous by percentage How MacKenzie Scott gave away roughly 75% of her Amazon shares and over 26 billion dollars in just a few years Why Warren Buffett tops the all-time philanthropist charts with tens of billions given away over his lifetime The tension between donating to nonprofits versus creating value through companies, jobs, and products Why most people overestimate what billionaires “should” give while contributing nothing (or almost nothing) themselves Top 3 Takeaways If you’re not giving when you make 60–80k a year, you almost certainly won’t start when you have millions; generosity is a percentage-based habit, not a net-worth number. Impact isn’t only measured in 501(c)(3) donations—building companies, creating jobs, and expanding access to products and information are also powerful forms of contribution. Instead of obsessing over what billionaires “should” do, focus on what you can control: bake giving into your financial system now, even if it’s just a few dollars, and increase it as your income grows. Notable Quotes “If you’re not doing it when you don’t have a lot, you’re probably not going to do it when you do have a lot.” “It’s easy to point at a billionaire’s net worth, but most people aren’t doing anything meaningful with their own 80k salary either.” “Stop throwing stones in a glass house—build the habit of contribution now, then let your generosity scale with your income.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

  • Forbes’ data on America’s top 25 philanthropists and why the richest people often aren’t the most generous by percentage

  • How MacKenzie Scott gave away roughly 75% of her Amazon shares and over 26 billion dollars in just a few years

  • Why Warren Buffett tops the all-time philanthropist charts with tens of billions given away over his lifetime

  • The tension between donating to nonprofits versus creating value through companies, jobs, and products

  • Why most people overestimate what billionaires “should” give while contributing nothing (or almost nothing) themselves

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. If you’re not giving when you make 60–80k a year, you almost certainly won’t start when you have millions; generosity is a percentage-based habit, not a net-worth number.

  2. Impact isn’t only measured in 501(c)(3) donations—building companies, creating jobs, and expanding access to products and information are also powerful forms of contribution.

  3. Instead of obsessing over what billionaires “should” do, focus on what you can control: bake giving into your financial system now, even if it’s just a few dollars, and increase it as your income grows.

Notable Quotes

  • “If you’re not doing it when you don’t have a lot, you’re probably not going to do it when you do have a lot.”

  • “It’s easy to point at a billionaire’s net worth, but most people aren’t doing anything meaningful with their own 80k salary either.”

  • “Stop throwing stones in a glass house—build the habit of contribution now, then let your generosity scale with your income.”

]]> 1440 SOLO | Make Money by Becoming a Better Friend In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on the importance of friendship and how meaningful relationships impact our health, happiness, and success. Inspired by a conversation between Simon Sinek and Trevor Noah, Travis shares personal lessons about how chasing business success and carrying burdens alone led him to unintentionally distance himself from friends. He explores the idea that friendship may be the ultimate “biohack” for a better life, dives into the famous Rat Park experiment on addiction and community, and explains why being a great friend is often the key to building deeper relationships. On this episode we talk about: Why Simon Sinek calls friendship the “ultimate biohack” for health, happiness, and longevity The powerful lesson from the Rat Park experiment about community and addiction Why refusing to share struggles with friends can actually damage relationships The balance between vulnerability and becoming the constant “complainer” in a friend group Practical ways to strengthen friendships by creating shared experiences and memories Top 3 Takeaways Friendship is one of the most powerful predictors of health and happiness. Meaningful relationships can impact everything from emotional well-being to long-term longevity. Being a good friend means allowing others to show up for you. Refusing to share struggles can unintentionally rob your friends of the chance to support you. Experiences create stronger friendships than conversation alone. Shared activities and memories build deeper trust and connection over time. Notable Quotes "Friendship is the ultimate biohack that literally fixes everything." "If you don’t allow your friends to be there for you, you’re robbing them of the opportunity to be a good friend."

]]> 1136 CO-HOST | Make Money by Saying Yes to High-Risk, Low-Pay Opportunities (Oscars buzz) In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by his producer and co-host Eric for a fast-paced, funny breakdown of what it really looks like to take high-risk, low-paying opportunities—like hosting the Oscars or speaking at events—and turn them into long-term money and credibility plays for your brand. Travis draws on his experience hosting Travis Makes Money and booking thousands of podcast interviews to explain why credibility is often more valuable than the check, especially early in your career. On this episode we talk about: How much Oscar hosts actually get paid versus the massive production budget Why hosting or speaking can be a “low-pay, high-risk, high-credibility” opportunity How to decide if you should cover your own travel or speak for free Why most people overestimate their value and underestimate the power of credibility markers What it really takes to get booked on top podcasts and big stages today Top 3 Takeaways Be willing to take underpaid or even out-of-pocket opportunities when the credibility, footage, relationships, and access you gain can open far bigger (and better paying) doors down the road. Stop overvaluing your “cool story” and start evaluating opportunities from the host or event organizer’s perspective—audience growth, brand alignment, and social proof matter more than you think. In a crowded market where everyone wants the same stages and podcasts, you either start smaller and build from the bottom, or you pay to accelerate access; time or money (often both) will be required. Notable Quotes “You have to be willing to risk the embarrassment of potentially not doing well, but also prepare enough to actually crush the opportunity when it comes.” “Most people are thinking, ‘What’s in it for me?’ instead of, ‘What’s in it for them?’—and that’s why they’re not getting booked.” “In this new realm, you’re starting from the bottom. So build the proper foundation, even if it costs you money, because the credibility you gain is worth it.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1477 SOLO | Make Money by Understanding Social Media’s Role in the Loneliness Epidemic In this solo episode, Travis Chappell continues his deep dive into the growing loneliness epidemic by tackling one of the biggest questions people are asking: Is social media to blame? Building on insights from the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on social connection, Travis explores how technology—especially social media—impacts the way we connect with others. He breaks down the science of social connection, the benefits and risks of digital technology, and explains why social media may not be the root cause of loneliness—but it can absolutely make the problem worse if we use it incorrectly. On this episode we talk about: The three core components of social connection: structure, function, and quality Why loneliness and social isolation exist on a continuum rather than a simple yes-or-no condition The role technology and social media play in shaping modern relationships Surprising statistics about digital media use, including Americans spending an average of six hours per day online Why social media should be treated as a media activity, not a social activity Top 3 Takeaways Social media isn’t the root cause of loneliness—but it’s a powerful accelerant. The data shows loneliness has been increasing since the 1970s, long before modern social media existed. Social connection has three critical dimensions: the number of relationships you have, how those relationships meet your needs, and the overall quality of those interactions. Social media should never replace real human interaction. It’s best viewed as a form of entertainment or media consumption—not a substitute for genuine in-person relationships. Notable Quotes "Social media is not a replacement for social activity—it’s a replacement for media activity." "Loneliness has been rising since the 1970s, which means social media didn’t create the problem—but it definitely fuels it." "We can’t go backward with technology, but we can solve the new problems it creates."

"Loneliness has been rising since the 1970s, which means social media didn’t create the problem—but it definitely fuels it." "We can’t go backward with technology, but we can solve the new problems it creates."

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In this solo episode, Travis Chappell continues his deep dive into the growing loneliness epidemic by tackling one of the biggest questions people are asking: Is social media to blame? Building on insights from the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on social connection, Travis explores how technology—especially social media—impacts the way we connect with others. He breaks down the science of social connection, the benefits and risks of digital technology, and explains why social media may not be the root cause of loneliness—but it can absolutely make the problem worse if we use it incorrectly.

On this episode we talk about:

  • The three core components of social connection: structure, function, and quality

  • Why loneliness and social isolation exist on a continuum rather than a simple yes-or-no condition

  • The role technology and social media play in shaping modern relationships

  • Surprising statistics about digital media use, including Americans spending an average of six hours per day online

  • Why social media should be treated as a media activity, not a social activity

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Social media isn’t the root cause of loneliness—but it’s a powerful accelerant. The data shows loneliness has been increasing since the 1970s, long before modern social media existed.

  2. Social connection has three critical dimensions: the number of relationships you have, how those relationships meet your needs, and the overall quality of those interactions.

  3. Social media should never replace real human interaction. It’s best viewed as a form of entertainment or media consumption—not a substitute for genuine in-person relationships.

Notable Quotes

  • "Social media is not a replacement for social activity—it’s a replacement for media activity."

  • "Loneliness has been rising since the 1970s, which means social media didn’t create the problem—but it definitely fuels it."

  • "We can’t go backward with technology, but we can solve the new problems it creates."

]]> 299 INTERVIEW | Make Money Cashing Out: How to Engineer a $100M+ Private Equity Exit with Alexis Sikorsky Alexis Sikorsky is a strategic advisor to founders who want to scale fast and exit strong, after building and selling his Switzerland-based banking software company, New Access, in a private equity deal worth over $100M. Drawing on decades of hard-won experience (including painful early failures, a 75% revenue collapse in one day, and a long post-crisis grind), he now helps £5–20M+ revenue businesses design exits instead of hoping for them. In his book Cashing Out: The Business Owner’s Guide to Selling to Private Equity, Alexis introduces the APEX methodology, a practical roadmap for founders who want clarity, cashflow, and a life-changing deal beyond their business. On this episode we talk about: Why Alexis calls his early ventures “failures” and how those lessons funded a $100M+ win later The 2008 financial crisis, losing 75% of revenue in a day, and rebuilding New Access without pivoting His grandfather’s trade wisdom and the simple “sell higher than you buy” rule most founders ignore Why raising VC money is usually a sign of commercial failure, not success The APEX methodology for planning and executing a private equity exit (from assessment to “dressing the bride”) Top 3 Takeaways Failure is the tuition you pay for wisdom: Alexis estimates the “cost” of his mistakes at 50 million and five years, and he uses that lens to help founders avoid repeating them. Profit is not optional if you want optionality: you must build a business where costs stay below revenue, instead of relying on endless fundraising to plug operational holes. A premium exit is engineered, not accidental: knowing your goal (lifestyle vs. exit, 100M vs. 1B), tracking real-time numbers, protecting your USP, and becoming “private equity ready” 18–24 months ahead are non-negotiable. Notable Quotes “I have a 100% success-rate, no-failure strategy: just don’t try anything.” “Raising money is very often a commercial failure—your company isn’t good enough yet to be profitable.” “We’re not wealthy enough to buy cheap.

]]> 1482 SOLO | Make Money by Solving the Loneliness Epidemic In this solo episode, Travis Chappell takes a deep dive into one of the most overlooked crises affecting modern life: loneliness. Drawing on research from the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on social connection, Travis explores the surprising ways loneliness and social isolation impact everything from mental and physical health to workplace performance and the global economy. While this episode doesn’t feature a guest, Travis breaks down complex research in an accessible way and explains why building meaningful relationships may be one of the most powerful investments you can make for both your life and your financial future. On this episode we talk about: The critical difference between loneliness and social isolation—and why that distinction matters Research showing how loneliness dramatically increases risks of depression, anxiety, and suicide The hidden economic cost of loneliness, including billions lost in healthcare and workplace productivity The shocking physical health risks linked to social disconnection, including heart disease, stroke, and premature death Why social connection may be one of the most important predictors of long-term health and longevity Top 3 Takeaways Loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely if your emotional needs for connection and belonging aren’t being met. Social connection directly impacts health and longevity. Research across 148 studies shows that strong social connections can increase survival odds by up to 50%. Loneliness has massive societal costs. From $154 billion in workplace absenteeism to billions in healthcare spending, the impact extends far beyond individual well-being. Notable Quotes "You can feel lonely in a crowd of people—that’s the insidious nature of loneliness." "Social connection increases the odds of survival by 50%."

]]> 1335 CO-HOST | Make Money Turning Viral Fails into Marketing Wins Travis is joined on the mic riffing with his producer about fast food CEOs, viral burger campaigns, and what they reveal about modern content and personal branding. Through a hilarious breakdown of McDonald’s new “Big Arch” burger promo and the competitive responses from Burger King, A&W, and Wendy’s, Travis pulls out practical lessons for entrepreneurs on how to think about content, virality, and brand personality. On this episode we talk about: McDonald’s controversial Big Arch CEO taste-test video and why it blew up. How Burger King, A&W, and Wendy’s “clapped back” with their own CEO burger videos. Why some CEOs should not be the face of their marketing—and when it works. How a simple iPhone video can outperform big-budget ad campaigns in reach and impact. Ideas for piggybacking on trends and turning competitor content into your own marketing angle. Top 3 Takeaways You don’t have to be polished to win on social—an awkward CEO video can generate more awareness than a six‑month, celebrity-backed campaign if people can react to it and share it. Even “failed” content can be a win when it sparks conversation, duets, stitches, and competitor responses that multiply your brand’s reach for free. As a business owner, your skill set is running the company, not necessarily making content—treat content like its own craft, and either develop that skill or get help so the brand doesn’t take avoidable hits. Notable Quotes "Sometimes even when it doesn’t work, it still works." "That cost them zero dollars and about two minutes of time, and it was equal to three or four months of their traditional marketing budget." "They may be really good at what they do for a living, but creating content is a different skill set."

]]> 1445 INTERVIEW | Make Money By Mastering Your Money Mindset with Trader Lewis Crompton Lewis Crompton is a finance expert, trading mentor, and self-made millionaire who has spent over a decade trading the financial markets and six years teaching others how to do the same. Growing up on a low income and grinding through long commutes and low-paying corporate work, Lewis used trading as the skill that allowed him to escape the rat race and build real wealth. Today, he runs a global education company helping everyday people generate 5–10% per month in the markets in under 30 minutes a day, with a mission to help one million families reduce money stress through financial education. On this episode we talk about: Why “just save and wait 40 years” is broken advice in an inflationary world The myth of passive income and what real “30 minutes a day” investing looks like How Lewis went from a £25K-a-year retail job and two-hour commutes to self-made millionaire The “three magic beans” (time, money, energy) you must invest to change your life How identity, belief, and personal responsibility shape your income and your future Top 3 Takeaways You can’t save your way to wealth—if your returns barely beat inflation, you’re just treading water, not building real financial freedom. There is no such thing as truly passive income; meaningful returns come from learning a skill, paying attention, and consistently putting in focused 30-minute-a-day effort. Your identity and beliefs about who you are and what you earn act like a ceiling on your results, so shifting from “I’m a 30K earner” to “I’m a high-value, high-earning person” is the first real step to making more money. Notable Quotes “If your money is only matching inflation, you’re just treading water.” “There’s no such thing as passive income; to be a good steward of your money, you have to pay attention.” “It’s not always your fault you’re where you are, but it is your responsibility to get out of it.” Connect with Lewis Crompton: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewiscrompton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withlewiscrompton Other: https://startradingnow.com/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1667 SOLO | Make Money By Building Relationships, Not Just Contacts Travis shares his philosophy on networking as friend‑making, not cold prospecting, drawing from his journey from solar sales and door‑to‑door to full‑time online income through podcasting and high‑level relationships. He unpacks hard‑won lessons from cringeworthy event interactions, volunteering at conferences, and adding disproportionate value to mentors like John Lee Dumas. This episode is especially useful if you want to move from transactional “networking” to building real relationships that compound over time. On this episode we talk about: Why networking and making friends are essentially the same skill in business The “Networking Ned” archetype and why traditional networking feels slimy How a botched first impression with Pat Flynn turned into a real friendship over 18 months Specific ways Travis added 51% of the value to mentors long before he “deserved” their time Why you should think in long‑term relational frames instead of short‑term transactions Top 3 Takeaways Treat networking as building genuine friendships with people who are professionally aligned with you, rather than as in‑person cold calling. Always aim to add at least 51% of the value in your important relationships, even if that means investing time, energy, and money without an immediate ROI. Think long term and relationally: you’ll usually have multiple future opportunities to connect with high‑level people, and your frame and reputation matter more than a single “shot.” Notable Quotes “Networking and friend‑making are basically the same thing, and people who separate them usually don’t do either one very well.” “Don’t think, ‘If I don’t talk to this person right now, I’ll never get another chance.’ Most of the time, that’s just not true.” “Always strive to add at least 51% of the value in your relationships, even when you don’t feel like you have much to offer.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All‑In‑One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1290 CO-HOST | Betting on Yourself: The Entrepreneurial Lessons Behind Johnny Knoxville & Jackass In this episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast, Travis and producer Eric break down an unlikely entrepreneurial case study: the origin story of Johnny Knoxville and Jackass. What starts as a conversation about a Conan interview quickly turns into a deeper discussion about risk, creativity, loyalty, and the real-life decisions entrepreneurs face when choosing between security and betting on themselves. They explore how Johnny Knoxville went from waiting tables and struggling to support a family to pitching a crazy idea—testing self-defense equipment on himself for a magazine—that eventually became the foundation for Jackass. Along the way, they discuss the pivotal moment when Knoxville turned down an opportunity with Saturday Night Live to keep creative control and build something with his friends. The conversation highlights how many entrepreneurial journeys involve uncertain choices where success isn’t guaranteed—and why the stories we hear are often the rare winners, not the many people who took the same risk and didn’t break through. On this episode we talk about: The surprising entrepreneurial origin story behind Jackass Why Johnny Knoxville turned down a major opportunity with Saturday Night Live The importance of creative control and ownership The role of loyalty and partnerships in building successful ventures How entrepreneurs decide when to take a risk vs. accept a safe opportunity The “rocking chair test” for making big life decisions Why most success stories we hear are examples of survivorship bias Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Big opportunities often come disguised as weird ideas.Johnny Knoxville’s breakthrough came from pitching a bizarre concept—testing self-defense gear on himself—that eventually evolved into one of the most successful stunt franchises ever. 2. Creative control can matter more than immediate opportunity.Turning down Saturday Night Live was risky, but Knoxville valued building something with his own team and maintaining ownership over the concept. 3. You can’t know the outcome—only the decision.Entrepreneurs rarely have perfect information. The best approach is to make the decision that aligns with your long-term values and avoid regretting the chances you didn’t take. Notable Quotes: “You just have to make the decision with the best information you have at the time—and then be okay with whatever happens.” “Most people don’t know whether it’s going to work out. They just take action and keep moving.” “Which decision will you regret more when you’re sitting in the rocking chair later in life?” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell⁠ Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@travischappellclips⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/travischappell⁠ Other: ⁠https://travischappell.com⁠ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1840 CO-HOST | Make Money by Creating Value and Redefining Wealth In this episode, Travis Chappell sits down in-studio with producer Eric for a fun but insightful conversation breaking down famous quotes about money from well-known actors and public figures. As they react to perspectives from people like Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Denzel Washington, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the discussion dives into deeper truths about wealth, fulfillment, and the role money really plays in building a meaningful life. From consumerism and lifestyle creep to investing in yourself and building valuable relationships, Travis unpacks the mindset shifts that can help you earn more while also living better. On this episode we talk about: Why many people spend money to impress people they don’t even like The real definition of wealth and why free time might be the ultimate status symbol Why fame, money, and success don’t automatically create happiness The core principle that money is a reflection of the value you create Why relationships and investing in people often outperform traditional investments Top 3 Takeaways Money follows value. The more value you create for others—through skills, knowledge, or relationships—the more money you’ll naturally earn. Wealth isn’t just about dollars. True wealth is having the freedom to spend your time how you want, with the people you care about. Money won’t fix internal problems. Financial success can amplify your life, but fulfillment and happiness require intentional personal work along the way. Notable Quotes “Money is a measure of the value you create for others.” “There’s no amount of accomplishment that will fill whatever void you’re trying to fill inside.” “Money only solves your money problems—but it’s easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@travischappellclips Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

  2. Wealth isn’t just about dollars. True wealth is having the freedom to spend your time how you want, with the people you care about.

  3. Money won’t fix internal problems. Financial success can amplify your life, but fulfillment and happiness require intentional personal work along the way.

Notable Quotes

  • “Money is a measure of the value you create for others.”

  • “There’s no amount of accomplishment that will fill whatever void you’re trying to fill inside.”

  • “Money only solves your money problems—but it’s easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank.”

]]> 1507 CO-HOST | Make Money by Increasing Your Value in the Marketplace In this episode, Travis is joined in the studio by his producer, Eric, for a candid conversation about minimum wage, economic realities, and the mindset needed to earn more in today’s world. Rather than offering easy political answers, Travis and Eric explore the complexity of wage policy, small business economics, and personal responsibility. The discussion blends practical entrepreneurship insights with honest reflections on the challenges many people face when trying to make a living—and why building valuable skills may be the most reliable path to higher income. On this episode we talk about: The economic ripple effects of raising minimum wage on small businesses Why increased wages can lead to higher prices and reduced buying power The tension between entrepreneurial thinking and systemic economic challenges How innovation and entrepreneurship can create value where others see none Why developing skills, knowledge, and relationships is the best long-term income strategy Top 3 Takeaways Increasing minimum wage can unintentionally squeeze small business margins, often forcing companies to raise prices—ultimately reducing the purchasing power of higher wages. The most reliable way to earn more isn’t demanding higher pay—it’s increasing the value you bring to the marketplace through skills, knowledge, and innovation. While economic systems are complex and imperfect, individuals can still improve their financial future by focusing on what they can control: learning, building relationships, and creating value. Notable Quotes "You deserve to get paid based on the value you bring to the marketplace." "Life doesn’t owe you your dream life—you have to go build it."

From Warren Buffett and Dave Ramsey to Ramit Sethi, Elon Musk, OnlyFans creators, and Andrew Tate, they unpack when these ideas are genuinely helpful—and when they fall apart once you factor in real life, kids, vacations, and small-business margins.​ On this episode we talk about: Whether “make money while you sleep or work until you die” is realistic advice for most people Dave Ramsey’s “debt is normal, be abnormal” philosophy and when leveraging debt can actually make sense The Belle Delphine bathwater story, frozen PayPal funds, and choosing the right payment processor for “weird” products How minimum wage hikes, automation, and robots could impact small businesses and low-skill jobs Why rich people focus on what they make (not just what they spend), and how to apply that mindset without delaying your whole life Top 3 Takeaways Building income that works while you sleep is a powerful goal, but most people need a practical bridge strategy that includes active income and intentional risk, not just slogans.​ Debt is a tool that can either destroy you or accelerate you; used intentionally for high-probability outcomes, it can help, but mindless or emotional debt is almost always a disaster.​ Long-term financial health comes more from increasing your earning power than endlessly cutting expenses, but you still need to align your money strategy with the life you actually want to live now.​ Notable Quotes “You can use debt, just be as intentional and careful as you can about the debt that you incur because there are real life consequences that come from putting yourself in too much debt.”​ “If you’re sacrificing living life now for the pursuit of a better financial future, I think you might come to regret some of those decisions later.”​ “Your kids are only going to be six and nine once, so if you want to go on vacation with them, you have to figure out a way to do that without sacrificing your future financially—and the best way is to focus on increasing your income.”​ Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@travismakesfriends/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: https://travischappell.com/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

From Warren Buffett and Dave Ramsey to Ramit Sethi, Elon Musk, OnlyFans creators, and Andrew Tate, they unpack when these ideas are genuinely helpful—and when they fall apart once you factor in real life, kids, vacations, and small-business margins.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • Whether “make money while you sleep or work until you die” is realistic advice for most people

  • Dave Ramsey’s “debt is normal, be abnormal” philosophy and when leveraging debt can actually make sense

  • The Belle Delphine bathwater story, frozen PayPal funds, and choosing the right payment processor for “weird” products

  • How minimum wage hikes, automation, and robots could impact small businesses and low-skill jobs

  • Why rich people focus on what they make (not just what they spend), and how to apply that mindset without delaying your whole life

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Building income that works while you sleep is a powerful goal, but most people need a practical bridge strategy that includes active income and intentional risk, not just slogans.​

  2. Debt is a tool that can either destroy you or accelerate you; used intentionally for high-probability outcomes, it can help, but mindless or emotional debt is almost always a disaster.​

  3. Long-term financial health comes more from increasing your earning power than endlessly cutting expenses, but you still need to align your money strategy with the life you actually want to live now.​

Notable Quotes

  • “You can use debt, just be as intentional and careful as you can about the debt that you incur because there are real life consequences that come from putting yourself in too much debt.”​

  • “If you’re sacrificing living life now for the pursuit of a better financial future, I think you might come to regret some of those decisions later.”​

  • “Your kids are only going to be six and nine once, so if you want to go on vacation with them, you have to figure out a way to do that without sacrificing your future financially—and the best way is to focus on increasing your income.”​

]]> 1237 INTERVIEW | Make Money Through Meaningful Networking, feat. Ivan Misner Ivan Misner is widely known as the father of modern networking and the founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization. Since founding BNI in 1985, Ivan has helped build a global community with over 11,700 chapters across 76 countries, generating millions of referrals and billions of dollars in business for its members. A New York Times bestselling author of more than 30 books—including Networking Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint—Ivan has spent decades studying the science and strategy behind meaningful professional relationships. In this episode, he joins Travis to discuss how networking has evolved, why most people misunderstand it, and how building genuine relationships is still the most powerful business growth strategy. On this episode we talk about: Why networking has a bad reputation—and how to do it the right way The VCP process: Visibility, Credibility, and Profitability Why relationships outperform transactional networking strategies How social media has flattened communication hierarchies The surprising data on relational vs. transactional networking styles Top 3 Takeaways Networking is about relationships, not transactions. The most effective networkers focus on building genuine connections first—business opportunities follow naturally from trust and familiarity. Follow the VCP process. Before referrals and revenue come visibility and credibility. People must know who you are, understand what you do, and trust your expertise before real business opportunities appear. Networking success is a long-term game. Treating networking like a marathon instead of a sprint allows relationships to compound over time into referrals, partnerships, and lasting opportunities. Notable Quotes “Networking is more about farming than it is about hunting.” “It’s not about making contacts—it’s about making connections.” “When people treat networking as a transaction, it’s the reason so many people hate it.” "It's not what you know or who you know.

]]> 1857 SOLO | Make Money by Asking Yourself Better Questions, part 2 On this solo episode, Travis Chappell continues his series on “25 Questions to Live a Better Life,” drawing from years of door-to-door sales, entrepreneurship, and podcasting to unpack the exact prompts he uses to rethink beliefs, handle hard seasons, and choose better long-term outcomes. He walks through questions 5–10 of his list, mixing personal stories, mental models, and thought experiments you can steal to upgrade your thinking and your life. On this episode we talk about: Why “When was the last time I changed my mind about a belief?” reveals whether you’re actually growing Using “This sucks, but what’s the alternative?” to push through necessary hard things How to map out “What is the worst case scenario and is it really that bad?” so fear stops running the show The power of asking “Why am I feeling this emotion?” to shift from reactive to intentional “Who do I know that has the results I want?” and “What are our cigarettes?” as long-term filters for your environment and worldview Top 3 Takeaways If you’ve never changed your mind about a core belief, it likely means you’ve never truly examined where your values came from or whether they’re actually yours. Most “worst case scenarios” are far less catastrophic than we imagine, and clearly defining them makes it easier to take the risks required for a better life. Identifying people who already have the results you want—and humbly modeling what works for them—is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your own progress. Notable Quotes “If all of your core beliefs were passed down to you and you can’t articulate why you believe them, odds are they’re not your beliefs.” “This sucks, but what’s the alternative?” “What are our cigarettes—what do we view as normal now that people will vilify in 200 years?” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1542 CO-HOST | Make Money Doing (Almost) Anything: The Wild Life of a Vegas Impersonator On this episode, Travis is joined by his producer and co-host Eric for a lighter, story-driven conversation about how people find bizarre yet lucrative ways to make money. Together, they break down the real-life journey of a Zach Galifianakis/“Alan from The Hangover” impersonator who turned rock bottom into a high-earning Vegas hustle—and the steep personal costs that came with it.​ On this episode we talk about: How a down-on-his-luck restaurant manager became a top “Alan from The Hangover” impersonator in Vegas What it’s really like to party for a living with tourists, celebrities, and bachelor parties The dark side of street performing: territorial fights, pressure to drink and do drugs, and burnout Whether building your brand on impersonations (like Trump or Dr. Phil) is a smart long-term career move How to think about your own career identity, rock-bottom moments, and unconventional ways to make money Top 3 Takeaways You truly can make money doing almost anything—even impersonating a movie character on the Vegas strip—if you lean into an angle people find entertaining and memorable.​ Every unconventional money path comes with tradeoffs; in this case, constant partying, health risks, and dangerous street dynamics made the lifestyle unsustainable despite high income.​ Building a career off another person’s brand (like Trump or Dr. Phil impersonations) can work extremely well, but you have to be intentional about whether you want that to define your long-term identity.​ Notable Quotes "Playing Alan, everyone expects you to party. Everyone expects you to drink whatever they have and whatever they want you to do for a tip, you better do it."​ "I suffered a real life hangover. I couldn't do it anymore.

]]> 1489 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Turning Expertise into Influence, feat. Dr. Maria Sophocles Dr. Maria Sophocles is a board-certified OB-GYN with over 30 years of clinical experience, a menopause expert, TED speaker, and author of The Bedroom Gap. Known for her ability to translate complex women’s health issues into practical, empowering insights, she has helped spark global conversations around midlife sexual health and wellness. In this episode, Dr. Sophocles joins Travis to discuss how medical professionals can expand beyond clinical practice—building businesses, partnering with startups, landing a TED Talk, and publishing a book that reaches millions. On this episode we talk about: How doctors and experts can pivot from traditional careers into entrepreneurship The rise of the femtech industry and new opportunities in women’s health innovation Why preventive health and consumer-driven healthcare are reshaping medicine The real process behind landing a TED Talk and transitioning into public speaking How to get a book deal with a major publisher and market it through podcasts and media Top 3 Takeaways Expertise can become a platform. Professionals who step outside traditional career paths can turn their knowledge into speaking opportunities, advisory roles, and large-scale impact. Healthcare is shifting toward prevention and consumer choice. Entrepreneurs are creating new products, platforms, and technologies that empower individuals to take control of their health. Visibility creates opportunity. A TED Talk, podcast appearances, and strategic partnerships can dramatically expand your reach and open doors to publishing deals and business ventures. Notable Quotes “Patients are becoming customers and consumers—and doctors need to recognize that shift.” “Instead of one-on-one conversations forever, I realized I could reach hundreds or thousands at once through speaking.” “If you want to publish a book, you don’t need the whole manuscript—you need a powerful proposal.” Connect with Dr. Maria Sophocles: Book: The Bedroom Gap Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariasophoclesmd Other: https://mariasophoclesmd.com/  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Dr. Sophocles joins Travis to discuss how medical professionals can expand beyond clinical practice—building businesses, partnering with startups, landing a TED Talk, and publishing a book that reaches millions.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How doctors and experts can pivot from traditional careers into entrepreneurship

  • The rise of the femtech industry and new opportunities in women’s health innovation

  • Why preventive health and consumer-driven healthcare are reshaping medicine

  • The real process behind landing a TED Talk and transitioning into public speaking

  • How to get a book deal with a major publisher and market it through podcasts and media

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Expertise can become a platform. Professionals who step outside traditional career paths can turn their knowledge into speaking opportunities, advisory roles, and large-scale impact.

  2. Healthcare is shifting toward prevention and consumer choice. Entrepreneurs are creating new products, platforms, and technologies that empower individuals to take control of their health.

  3. Visibility creates opportunity. A TED Talk, podcast appearances, and strategic partnerships can dramatically expand your reach and open doors to publishing deals and business ventures.

Notable Quotes

  • “Patients are becoming customers and consumers—and doctors need to recognize that shift.”

  • “Instead of one-on-one conversations forever, I realized I could reach hundreds or thousands at once through speaking.”

  • “If you want to publish a book, you don’t need the whole manuscript—you need a powerful proposal.”

In this solo episode, he opens up his personal notes and “audio journal” to share the exact questions he asks himself to break out of stagnation, take bigger swings, and reset his thinking when life punches him in the mouth. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your life tracks the quality of the questions you ask yourself How “When was the last time I risked embarrassment?” exposes if you’ve been playing too small Connecting risk and reward with “When was the last time I got something I wanted?” Using the frame “It happened, now what?” to stop complaining and start solving The “No bullshit, what would it take?” question that turns “impossible” goals into concrete plans Top 3 Takeaways If you aren’t regularly risking embarrassment, you’re probably not putting yourself in positions where extraordinary outcomes are even possible. The biggest wins in your life usually follow periods where you willingly risk failure, rejection, or looking foolish—and that first big win becomes a confidence superpower for future risks. Shifting from blame to agency (“It happened, now what?” and “No bullshit, what would it take?”) trains your brain to look for solutions and opportunity instead of excuses.

]]> 1280 CO-HOST | Make Money Understanding Micro Dramas In this episode, Travis Chappell dives into the fascinating and rapidly growing world of micro dramas—a new form of short-form, vertical video storytelling that’s taking over platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Joined by his producer Eric for a co-hosted discussion, Travis explores how these bite-sized dramas are monetized, why audiences are hooked, and what this emerging industry means for creators, actors, and the attention economy as a whole. On this episode we talk about: The rise of micro dramas and their unique appeal in the streaming and social media landscape. How short-form content is monetized, including paywalls, in-app purchases, and subscription models. The challenges and experiences of actors working in micro dramas, including working conditions, pay, and script transparency. The cultural impact of micro dramas, from age-gap romances to “fantasy romance” content targeting women. How the attention economy and algorithm-driven storytelling are shaping modern media consumption. Top 3 Takeaways Micro dramas are more than a social media trend—they’re a growing global industry rivaling traditional streaming platforms in user engagement. Actors must set clear boundaries and get full scripts in advance to protect themselves when working in micro drama productions. Success in new media often comes from creating content that fits audience behavior and attention spans, not necessarily what creators think “should” exist. Notable Quotes "These bite-sized soap operas with sexy billionaires and age-gap romances are actually a giant industry that's rivaling traditional streaming apps." "Women will spend money on these fantasy romance stories the same way men spend on OnlyFans creators—it’s just a new generation soap opera." "You build the product for what people actually want, not for the ideal version of what you think it should be."

]]> 1375 INTERVIEW | Make Money with Subconscious Sales Strategies, feat. Paul Ross Paul Ross is the founder of the Subconscious Sales Advantage and a sales trainer with more than 30 years of experience helping entrepreneurs, founders, and sales teams dramatically improve their close rates. Known for his expertise in hypnotic language patterns and subconscious influence, Paul has helped organizations generate millions in additional revenue and achieve 30%+ sales increases in as little as 90 days. His unique approach blends neuroscience, psychology, and language frameworks to help sales professionals bypass resistance and guide prospects toward confident buying decisions. On this episode we talk about: How subconscious influence shapes buying decisions Why modern prospects have shorter attention spans and how that impacts sales The difference between rapport and true compliance in a sales conversation Powerful language patterns that create focus, trust, and authority Pattern interrupts and objection-handling techniques that reopen stalled conversations Top 3 Takeaways Sales is about engineering decisions. Instead of trying to convince people to buy, focus on creating the mental states—focus, trust, and curiosity—that help prospects make confident decisions themselves. Trust in themselves matters as much as trust in you. Prospects often hesitate because they don’t trust their own judgment. Helping them feel confident in their decision-making process can dramatically increase conversions. Pattern interrupts break resistance. When prospects default to common objections like “I need to think about it,” disrupting the expected response can create suggestibility and reopen the conversation. Notable Quotes "You're never selling a product or service—you’re selling decisions and good feelings about those decisions." "Focus is the currency of any kind of sale." "Language structures consciousness, consciousness shapes decisions, and decisions drive behavior."

]]> 1552 SOLO | Make Money by Staying Open to Opportunity Travis Chappell is a former door-to-door salesman turned founder, investor, speaker, and top-ranked podcast host who’s built multiple income streams through sales, media, and tech startups. He’s best known for creating Guestio, a platform that connects creators with high‑level guests, and for helping entrepreneurs learn how to increase their earning potential through practical, real‑world lessons. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down how one simple mindset shift—staying open to opportunities others ignore—directly led to his first six‑figure year and set the foundation for everything he’s built since. On this episode we talk about: Why most people instantly shut down anything that looks like a “pitch” and how that costs them real money The door-to-door solar job that showed Travis how a closed mind can keep people stuck with higher bills and fewer options How a random business card on his front door led to a $10,000 signing bonus and his first six‑figure income The difference between being desperate and being selectively open as you gain more success and more inbound opportunities The simple mental rule Travis uses to stay curious, hear people out, and still protect his time and focus Top 3 Takeaways A closed mind is often more expensive than a bad decision—refusing to even hear an offer can quietly cost you life‑changing opportunities. In the early stages of your career, saying “yes” more often is a strategic way to expand your skill set, network, and upside; later, you earn the right to become more selective. Staying open doesn’t mean being naive; it means listening, asking smart questions, and then making decisions based on alignment with your goals, not reflexive fear or cynicism. Notable Quotes “I made a vow to myself that I would never remain completely closed off to the ideas that other people had to share with me.” “The only way to get to the point where you can say no to almost everything is to first go through a season where you say yes to almost everything.” “Nothing is more expensive than a closed mind.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Other (Website): https://travischappell.com​ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1149 CO-HOST | Make Money by Paying Rent Smarter (Not Harder) Co-hosting with producer Eric Travis breaks down Affirm's new "buy now, pay later" rent option—splitting monthly rent into zero-interest biweekly payments. They debate cash flow hacks, reminisce on $600/month SoCal apartments now Zestimated at $1,600+, and praise rent-tech like Bilt for credit-building points. On this episode we talk about:   Affirm + Isuzu pilot: Split rent biweekly (no interest/fees) via $10-50/month memberships that report payments to credit bureaus—helps cash flow, not affordability.   Eric's confession: Used fee-free biweekly rent; Travis okays it as the one BNPL he's fine with (unlike shoes/phones).   Rent sticker shock: Eric's old $600 1BR now ~$1,658; Travis's 2018 Vegas 3BR/4BA went from $2,600 to $4,800+ Zestimate.   Bilt love: Pay rent/mortgage with credit card for points (shoutout founder); gamified quizzes make bills fun.   Lifestyle creep: Cheap rents build wealth nostalgia, but "never going back"—location > size if you can walk to casinos/pizza. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Biweekly rent splits (zero interest) ease cash flow without extra cost—ideal if paid biweekly, risky if monthly salary mismatches.2.  Rents double every ~7 years while fixed mortgages don't—owning locks predictability as utilities/rates rise.3.  Use tech like Bilt for rent points/credit; systems easing big bills (rent = largest expense) free mental space for income growth.

  •   Bilt love: Pay rent/mortgage with credit card for points (shoutout founder); gamified quizzes make bills fun.

  •   Lifestyle creep: Cheap rents build wealth nostalgia, but "never going back"—location > size if you can walk to casinos/pizza.

Top 3 Takeaways

1.  Biweekly rent splits (zero interest) ease cash flow without extra cost—ideal if paid biweekly, risky if monthly salary mismatches.
2.  Rents double every ~7 years while fixed mortgages don't—owning locks predictability as utilities/rates rise.
3.  Use tech like Bilt for rent points/credit; systems easing big bills (rent = largest expense) free mental space for income growth.

Notable Quotes

  •   "This doesn't feel like buy now, pay later... It's just splitting it up into two payments. That feels almost like a better situation for the landlord."

  •   "If this system makes more sense for you to conserve the money... then sure, split it up."

  •   "Set up systems that make it easier to accomplish your goals, rather than trying in the difficulty of the systems you already have."

]]> 1869 SOLO | The Two Types of Fear In this solo episode, Travis digs into old notes from his phone to unpack why humans are wired for fear—evolutionary survival that now fuels anxiety and stalled dreams. He shares his "rocking chair test" for big risks (like a six-figure filming project with legends) and how fearing regret beats fearing failure every time. On this episode we talk about:   Human evolution: 99% of our 100,000-year history as hunter-gatherers made fear our survival edge—now it creates worry over non-threats like embarrassment or loss.   Reptilian brain vs. subconscious supercomputer: You can't override it, but awareness lets you redirect fear (e.g., fear of mediocrity > fear of failing once).   Jocko Willink wisdom: "Every failure that does not lead to death is psychological"—nothing to lose by swinging again.   Travis's risk framework: Worst-case (lose money)? Renewable. Best-case? Dream life. Time isn't—don't wait for the "perfect" moment.   Rocking chair test: At 98, will you regret not acting more than failing? Past risks always led to growth, win or lose. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Fear is inevitable—choose the right one: Fear living subpar > fear one failure; money renews, time doesn't.2.  Worst-case scenarios rarely kill you; engage fear directly to shrink it, then act—upside crushes downside.3.  Build proof through risks: One success unlocks confidence; even "failures" spark hyper-growth and problem-solving. Notable Quotes   "Worry is simply faith that something bad is going to happen... Hope is faith that something good is going to happen."   "Everybody gives in to fear. Whether it's the fear of failing at making your dreams come true or the fear of never making your dreams come true, the one you give into will determine how you live your life."   "I fear that state of regret so much more than I fear risking embarrassment now." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1240 no CO-HOST | Make Money by Reading More Books Like Kai Cenat Travis and producer Eric unpack America's literacy crisis (54% of adults read below 6th-grade level, costing $2.2T in lost productivity), celebrate streamer Kai Cenat's public 30-minute daily reading challenge, debate childhood favorites like Dr. Seuss, and tie it all to self-improvement and earning potential. On this episode we talk about: Shocking U.S. literacy stats: 45M adults functionally illiterate, 40% of 4th graders below basic reading, and 44% read zero books yearly. Streamer Kai Cenat's vulnerable reading streams (Atomic Habits, looking up words like "spontaneity") mocked online but praised by Jamie Foxx and Hasan Piker. Generational reading habits, Dr. Seuss debates (Butter Battle Book vs. Green Eggs & Ham), and kids' books like Monster at the End of This Book and Rainbow Fish. How low literacy traps families in poverty cycles and kills income potential—humility in learning beats pretending to know it all. Workaholics cruise insights: Comedians aren't the "party slobs" they portray; successful ones prioritize health, work ethic, and growth. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Reading builds irreplaceable skills for communication, income, and breaking poverty cycles—start with 20-30 minutes daily like Kai Cenat.2.  Embrace looking "dumb" by googling words or admitting gaps; mockery reveals the mockers' insecurity, not your flaws.3.  Self-improvement (gym, books, skills) fuels real money-making—don't mimic entertainers' jokes as life advice; model their unseen discipline. Notable Quotes "An estimated 130 million U.S. adults read below a sixth grade level, which is about 54% of adults ages 16 to 74." "Low literacy is estimated to cost the US economy up to $2.2 trillion per year in lost productivity." "This is literally the process of learning... if I don't know what it means now, I'm not going to just magically learn it."

]]> 1832 SOLO | Make Money Because You Need Way More Than You Think Travis Chappell breaks down the limits of traditional personal finance advice in a solo episode, explaining why cutting expenses alone won't build real wealth—you need to aggressively increase your income to outpace inflation, unexpected life costs, and the dream of true financial freedom. On this episode we talk about: Why budgeting and saving hit a ceiling at zero expenses, but earning more income is unlimited and the real path to wealth. Life's endless surprises (roofs, transmissions, family emergencies, kids' activities) demand far more money than any budget predicts. Inflation's silent killer effect: $1.2M in 30 years from $100/month investing could spend like just $250K-$450K after real-world price doubling. The Rule of 72: S&P doubles every ~7 years at 10% returns, but 3% inflation doubles prices every 24 years (or faster in reality). Side hustles that scale (Uber, flipping, landscaping) + skill-building for 5X income jumps to hit your "freedom number" faster. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Double the nest egg you think you need—live off just 4-5% annually to preserve principal against inflation and longevity.2.  $200/month grows to ~$400K nominal in 30 years (10% returns), but inflation-adjusted it's ~$150K; bump to $1,200/month for $2.4M.3.  Acquire monetizable skills, knowledge, and relationships—recessions can't touch them, but they'll 5X your income trajectory. Notable Quotes "You will always need more money than you think you're going to need. Life has a way of demanding more from you than you expect." "The most delta you could ever create would be $80K a year... the only thing left is your ability to go earn more income." "Inflation is going to quietly murder your comfort, your nest egg." "If you extract the meaning from your life... eliminating work from your life is a fast path to dying sooner." "The only path to creating exponential increases in your earned income is through skills that you do not currently have."

]]> 1584 SOLO | Make Money with the ACT Method for Personal Branding Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on building a powerful personal brand and network using his proprietary ACT method (Attention, Credibility, Trust), drawn from over 1,600 podcast episodes, hundreds of books, and years of real-world experience in content creation and online marketing. On this episode we talk about: The ACT framework: A = Attention, C = Credibility, T = Trust—and why trust equals transactions. How Travis engineered his own Forbes feature by interviewing the author and networking strategically. Why "best known beats best" and attention is the foundation where money flows every time. Building credibility through high-profile associations (like big-name podcast guests) over one-off media mentions. Maintaining trust by overdelivering on every sale, even small ones, to boost lifetime customer value. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Get attention first—post content relentlessly because every post is a lottery ticket that could explode your reach. 2. Credibility comes from associating with known experts; it's harder than media hits but moves the needle more. 3. Trust must be continually earned through overdelivery, since one bad experience can kill repeat business forever. Notable Quotes "If you're an online marketer and you're not coming up with methods and cool acronyms, then you're not really a marketer." "Best known beats best. You're the best kept secret in your field... but nobody knows that you exist." "Where there's attention, that's where money goes. Attention is where the money flows. 100% of the time." "Every post is a lottery ticket. You never know what's going to be the thing that actually takes off." "The question you should be asking yourself is not does this convert?

]]> 1185 no CO-HOST | Make Money by NOT Blowing it on OnlyFans On this episode, Travis is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a candid breakdown of the exploding OnlyFans economy, why Californians are leading the charge in spending, and what all of this reveals about our relationship with money and loneliness. Together they mix data, dark humor, and real‑talk money advice to challenge how much you are blowing on subscriptions that do nothing for your long‑term wealth or relationships. On this episode we talk about: How Californians spent over $350 million on OnlyFans in 2025 and why that number is “light” compared to what people imagine. Which cities and states are the biggest OnlyFans spenders per capita and why Utah keeps showing up in adult‑industry data. How the creator side became a billion‑dollar industry with over a million U.S. creators and a tiny handful making most of the money. The psychological trap of thinking you have a “relationship” with creators, paywalled DMs, and AI/agency chat replies. Practical guidelines for how much of your income you should (and shouldn’t) be spending on platforms like OnlyFans if you actually want to build wealth. Top 3 Takeaways If you are already in debt, spending hundreds a month on OnlyFans is not “self‑care,” it is sabotage to your financial future. The average OnlyFans creator makes very little, so chasing top‑1% creator money in that space comes with huge trade‑offs for your reputation and long‑term options. You will not buy your way out of loneliness with parasocial online “relationships”; money does a lot more for you when it is in your bank account than when it is in someone else’s tip jar. Notable Quotes “Stop spending money on dumb shit all the time, because it is just not worth it.” “You feel like you have this quasi‑relationship because you sent her $24,000 over three years—but you don’t, bro.” “Money only solves money problems, but it is easier to solve problems with money in the bank than with a stack of OnlyFans receipts.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1514 SOLO | Make Money by Letting Go of Perfection Travis Chappell solo-hosts this episode of Travis Makes Money, sharing hard-won life lessons from his own journey as a creator, entrepreneur, and podcast coach. He breaks down mindset traps that keep people stuck—like perfectionism, negativity bias, and emotional reactivity—and offers practical tools for building resilience, happiness, and momentum in both life and business. Through stories, analogies, and real-life examples (including a tense pickup basketball game), Travis gives listeners concrete ways to rewire their thinking for long-term success and peace of mind. On this episode we talk about: Why “done is better than perfect” and how perfectionism turns into procrastination The importance of shipping imperfect work to get real-world feedback How to hardwire happiness by revisiting positive moments and strengthening neural pathways Using gratitude and visualization to combat negativity bias and anxiety Stoic principles: external events vs. your perception and reaction Practical strategies to pause before reacting and respond in ways that serve your goals Top 3 Takeaways Done beats perfect every time. Waiting for perfection keeps you from ever launching the book, product, or podcast that will actually teach you what needs to improve. You can train your brain toward happiness. By intensifying and revisiting moments of joy and gratitude, you widen the mental “paths” that make it easier to access positive emotional states. Events aren’t the problem—your reaction is. Your long-term happiness is tied less to what happens and more to the way you choose to interpret and respond, especially in emotionally charged moments. Notable Quotes “Done is better than perfect, because perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise.” “The ability to be happy or grateful in the absence of reasons to be is a superpower.” “External events are not the problem.

]]> 1383 CO-HOST | Make Money in the Middle (Hybrid Entrepreneurship & Building Your Own Path) In Part 2 of yesterday's conversation, Travis Chappell and his producer, Eric, continue their candid discussion about building a career without following the traditional “prestigious school → perfect job” blueprint. From mission-field poverty to producing millions of podcast views, this episode explores the messy middle of modern work—where stability and ambition can coexist. If you’ve ever felt stuck between the safety of a 9–5 and the pull of entrepreneurship, this conversation is your roadmap for navigating both. On this episode we talk about: The hybrid model: why you don’t have to “burn the boats” to build something meaningful Treating your 9–5 like a client instead of a prison Continuously reevaluating your skills, goals, and what fulfillment actually looks like Leveraging content, outsourcing, and systems to build momentum on the side Why complaining repels opportunity—and action creates clarity Getting comfortable with uncertainty in a rapidly changing economy Top 3 Takeaways You can hold both worlds. You don’t have to fully quit your job or fully surrender to it—build stability while creating leverage on the side. Clarity comes from action, not overthinking. The only way to discover what you actually want is by trying things, adjusting, and trying again. Opportunity favors ownership. Complaining about the system changes nothing—creating inside of it (or alongside it) changes everything. Notable Quotes “Find the thing that actually takes care of you—and build the vision on the side.” “There’s never been an opportunity gained from sulking and complaining.” “The bad news is you have to figure it out. The good news is—you get to.” “If there was opportunity repellent in a spray, it would be complaining.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In Part 2 of yesterday's conversation, Travis Chappell and his producer, Eric, continue their candid discussion about building a career without following the traditional “prestigious school → perfect job” blueprint. From mission-field poverty to producing millions of podcast views, this episode explores the messy middle of modern work—where stability and ambition can coexist. If you’ve ever felt stuck between the safety of a 9–5 and the pull of entrepreneurship, this conversation is your roadmap for navigating both.

On this episode we talk about:

  • The hybrid model: why you don’t have to “burn the boats” to build something meaningful

  • Treating your 9–5 like a client instead of a prison

  • Continuously reevaluating your skills, goals, and what fulfillment actually looks like

  • Leveraging content, outsourcing, and systems to build momentum on the side

  • Why complaining repels opportunity—and action creates clarity

  • Getting comfortable with uncertainty in a rapidly changing economy

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. You can hold both worlds. You don’t have to fully quit your job or fully surrender to it—build stability while creating leverage on the side.

  2. Clarity comes from action, not overthinking. The only way to discover what you actually want is by trying things, adjusting, and trying again.

  3. Opportunity favors ownership. Complaining about the system changes nothing—creating inside of it (or alongside it) changes everything.

Notable Quotes

  • “Find the thing that actually takes care of you—and build the vision on the side.”

  • “There’s never been an opportunity gained from sulking and complaining.”

  • “The bad news is you have to figure it out. The good news is—you get to.”

Drawing on personal stories—from his religious upbringing to observations about business, politics, and culture—Travis breaks down powerful mindset shifts that can transform the way you approach success, truth, and personal growth. On this episode we talk about: Why all new ideas are considered “heretical” before they’re accepted The difference between studying other beliefs and truly questioning your own Why effort and integrity matter more than outcomes How to accept truth—even from people you disagree with Why collaboration beats obstruction—and how negativity limits your own success The power of doing less, better for long-term growth and sustainability Top 3 Takeaways All big ideas face resistance first. If people aren’t questioning or criticizing your idea, it might not be bold enough. Innovation always looks crazy—until it works. Learn to unbelieve. True growth comes not from defending your current beliefs, but from being willing to question and rebuild them intentionally. Focus on effort, not outcomes. Success without integrity damages your relationship with yourself. Play the long game and build something sustainable.

]]> 1320 CO-HOST | Make Money When the Economy Feels Broken In this episode, Travis is joined in-studio by producer Eric to react to viral commentary about the rising cost of living, disappearing opportunity, and the growing sense of economic hopelessness in America. As videos circulate claiming the American Dream is dead, Travis breaks down why mindset, skill development, and entrepreneurship still offer a path forward—even in a difficult economy. Drawing from his own journey of building income over nearly a decade and 1,500+ podcast episodes, Travis explains why giving up is understandable… but never the solution. On this episode we talk about: Why six figures doesn’t feel like “wealth” anymore—and what that means for today’s economy The growing fear around AI, layoffs, and white-collar job displacement How victim mentality silently sabotages your financial future Why upskilling and value creation are the real income multipliers Entrepreneurship as the modern “great equalizer” in an uneven system Top 3 Takeaways Your future collapses the moment you decide it’s impossible. Even if the system isn’t fair, believing you have no agency guarantees you won’t take action. Income growth is directly tied to value creation. The more valuable your skills are to the marketplace, the easier it becomes to increase your earnings. Entrepreneurship doesn’t require becoming a billionaire—it simply creates optionality. Even modest business success can dramatically improve autonomy and quality of life.

]]> 1348 CO-HOST | Make Money Through Transparency, Ethics, and Leadership In this episode, Travis sits down with his producer Eric for a candid, unscripted conversation reacting to viral clips and debates around church finances, nonprofit transparency, and leadership accountability. Drawing from his personal experience growing up in a megachurch environment and his perspective as a business owner, Travis breaks down the complex intersection of money, mission, and ethics—highlighting the challenges leaders face when managing large organizations without financial training, and why transparency is essential whether you're running a church, nonprofit, or business. On this episode we talk about: The conflicting messages about money in church culture and how it shapes people’s beliefs about wealth The importance of financial transparency in nonprofits, religious organizations, and leadership roles Why lack of financial education can lead to mismanagement—even with good intentions The ethical complexity of pastor salaries and compensation based on value and leadership impact Alternative models for growing communities without massive overhead and multi-million dollar buildings Top 3 Takeaways Transparency builds trust. Whether you're running a church, nonprofit, or business, people deserve clarity on how their contributions are being used. Leadership requires financial competence. Vision alone isn’t enough—understanding finances is critical when managing organizations with significant revenue. Compensation should reflect value—but accountability matters. Leaders deserve to be paid for the value they create, but openness and ethical stewardship are essential when others fund that compensation. Notable Quotes "When you're looking for reasons to be less transparent, it's not a good look—especially when people are trusting you with their money." "He built something incredible and deserves to be compensated—but transparency makes that easier to trust." "Money only solves your money problems—but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you have money in the bank."

Drawing from personal experience, business insights, fatherhood, and even his battle with cancer, Travis shares the mindset shifts that have shaped his growth as an entrepreneur and leader. This episode is a rapid-fire guide to building better habits, embracing radical responsibility, and becoming the version of yourself capable of achieving bigger goals. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your habits determines the quality of your life (inspired by Atomic Habits) The power of radical responsibility and lessons from Extreme Ownership How delayed gratification (think The Marshmallow Test) predicts long-term success Focusing on becoming the person who can achieve the goal—not just chasing the goal itself Escaping the comfort zone and reshaping your reality through perception and empathy Top 3 Takeaways Your habits are your future. If you want to know where you’ll be in five years, look at what you do daily right now.

Change yourself to change your world. Your perception shapes your reality—growth starts internally before it ever shows up externally.

]]> 1343 CO-HOST | Make Money Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Morals) In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell and his producer Eric dive into two heated debates in the personal finance world—starting with viral criticism of Dave Ramsey and expanding into the broader conversation around financial influencers, online courses, and what qualifies as “predatory” in today’s creator economy. With humor, hot takes, and a healthy dose of nuance, Travis breaks down why attacking someone’s past doesn’t automatically invalidate their advice—and why personal responsibility still matters, even in a world full of loud opinions. On this episode we talk about: The viral thread criticizing Dave Ramsey’s bankruptcy history Whether financial advice becomes invalid if the messenger isn’t perfect The reality of “grind seasons” vs. making lifelong sacrifices When online courses are valuable—and when they cross into predatory territory Why people value what they pay for (and ignore what’s free) The difference between accountability and outrage culture Top 3 Takeaways A past mistake doesn’t automatically invalidate present wisdom. Sometimes the lesson is the reason the advice exists. Short-term sacrifice can be necessary—but it should be a phase, not a permanent lifestyle. When people pay, they pay attention. Free information is everywhere, but financial commitment often drives real action. Notable Quotes “Is the advice sound or is it not? That’s what actually matters.” “You don’t have to sacrifice your present for your future—or your future for your present—if you learn how to make more money.” “People spend $1,000 on things that will never make them a dollar back—but hesitate to invest in fixing their financial life.” “Money only solves your money problems—but it’s easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1509 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Jon Levy Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about networking? In this revealing preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with behavioral scientist and author Jon Levy to unpack why traditional networking feels gross—and what actually works instead. Jon breaks down the four psychological triggers that open doors with high-level performers: novelty, access to other influential people, generosity without hidden agendas, and the rare emotional state of awe. He explains why powerful leaders don’t need another coffee meeting, how the brain’s novelty center drives curiosity and memory, and why most influential people spend far more time with assistants and staff than at glamorous events—unless something truly different pulls them out. You’ll hear the origin story behind Jon’s now-legendary “secret dinner” series: 12 strangers cooking a terrible meal together—without sharing what they do—only to discover they’re sitting next to Olympians, Nobel laureates, Emmy winners, and even Isiah Thomas. What started as a broke experiment funded with credit cards and cheap vodka turned into a global phenomenon, landing Jon on the cover of The New York Times and transforming his career into designing high-impact experiences for major brands. Travis and Jon also dig into why networking events fail, the psychological reason people feel “dirty” when they network, and why making friends—not collecting business cards—is the real path to opportunity. They explore the mechanics of connection, from shared common ground (what Jon calls “multiplexing relationships”) to proximity, intensity, frequency, and duration—the real forces that determine whether two people bond. If you’ve ever wondered how to meet influential people without feeling transactional, how to stand out without status or money, or how to create environments where awe and genuine connection happen naturally, this preview gives you a front-row seat to the science—and strategy—behind building relationships that actually matter. Hit play to learn why the best networkers don’t network at all—and how you can start creating rooms that change your life.Watch the Full Episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RUrACCORfA Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1577 SOLO | Make Money by Becoming the Person Who Can In this solo episode, Travis Chappell steps away from interviews and gets back to fundamentals. After more than 1,500 episodes and years immersed in books, conversations, and personal growth, Travis breaks down what he believes is the real path to lasting change. This isn’t about hacks, motivation spikes, or waiting for a lightning bolt of clarity. It’s about awareness, identity, environment, and painful consistency. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you want to be, this episode lays out a practical, honest roadmap for closing that gap. On this episode we talk about: Why awareness is the catalyst to all meaningful change The difference between wanting results and becoming the person who gets them Why clarity comes from action—not the other way around How your environment (friends, geography, content) shapes your future The “messy middle” where most people quit—and how to push through it Top 3 Takeaways You can’t change what you won’t acknowledge.

]]> 1457 CO-HOST | Make Money by Understanding What’s Really Driving the Housing Market On this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by his producer Eric for a live reaction and breakdown of a recent housing policy proposal from Donald Trump aimed at banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes. They react to a viral breakdown from Graham Stephan and unpack what’s actually happening beneath the headlines—from inventory shortages and interest rate lock-in to zoning laws and Wall Street narratives. The conversation blends humor, impressions, and real analysis as they explore whether banning big investors would actually make homes more affordable—or accidentally make things worse. On this episode we talk about: Trump’s proposed ban on institutional investors buying single-family homes Whether Wall Street is really driving up housing prices The difference between mega-corporate landlords and mom-and-pop investors How low interest rates created “locked-in” homeowners and inventory shortages Real solutions for affordability: zoning reform, tax incentives, modular housing, and permitting reform Top 3 Takeaways Institutional investors make up a far smaller percentage of home purchases than most headlines suggest—inventory shortages and policy issues may be the bigger drivers. Historically low interest rates created a lock-in effect, discouraging homeowners from selling and reducing available supply. If we truly want affordable housing, reforming zoning laws, streamlining permits, and incentivizing new construction may be more effective than banning investors. Notable Quotes "It’s not just about Wall Street—it’s a perfect storm of low rates, zoning issues, and supply shortages." "If you own a piece of the land where you live, you tend to care more about your community." "Money only solves your money problems—but it’s easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Instead of interviewing a guest, Travis shares one of the most embarrassing moments of his teenage years—completely missing a handspring in front of his entire summer camp—and uses it to unpack a powerful lesson about fear, failure, and the stories we tell ourselves. With honesty, humor, and perspective, he challenges listeners to stop sacrificing their dream lives to avoid short-term embarrassment.

]]> 991 CO-HOST | Make Money by Thinking Long-Term (Even When Markets Get Weird) In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell and producer Eric go from questionable breakfast choices to a surprisingly deep breakdown of housing prices, crypto volatility, inflation, and what actually drives wealth over time. What starts as a lighthearted conversation about gas station hot dogs and Tostino’s pizza turns into a real discussion about reacting to headlines, investing during downturns, and recent housing comments from Donald Trump. The throughline? If you want to make money, you have to think in decades—not days. On This Episode We Talk About: Why emotional reactions hurt your investing returns Whether rising housing prices are actually good for homeowners Institutional investors buying single-family homes The real reason housing prices stay elevated: inventory shortages Crypto downturns and how to think about volatility Inflation, dollar weakness, and protecting purchasing power Why over-leveraging—not price drops—causes financial disasters Top 3 Takeaways You don’t need your house or crypto to be up tomorrow. You need it to be up 20–25 years from now. Wealth compounds for those who can hold. Housing prices won’t meaningfully drop until inventory increases. With only 1–3 months of inventory in many markets, upward pressure remains regardless of policy changes. If inflation weakens the dollar over time, idle cash erodes. Even small investments—done consistently—can protect purchasing power better than letting money sit still. Notable Quotes “I don’t need my house to be worth more tomorrow. I need it to be worth more in 25 years.” “Once you put your first dollar in, you want it to go to the moon.” “Cash sitting in your bank account is getting destroyed by inflation.” “The housing crash wasn’t about prices falling—it was about people not being able to hold.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Nelson Nigel is the founder and CEO of Kidmoto, a tech-enabled transportation company that provides safe airport transfers with properly installed child car seats. What started in 2016 as a frustrating observation while driving for Uber turned into a seven-figure business operating in 80+ cities globally.

After losing everything in real estate during the 2008 crash, driving a New York City yellow cab, and grinding through years of failed ventures, Nelson bootstrapped Kidmoto with just a few hundred dollars and two car seats. Today, the company has completed over 40,000 rides and reached a $25M valuation—without raising outside capital.

  • Identifying a gap Uber and Lyft ignored

]]> 1341 SOLO | Make Money by Mastering the Skill of Calm In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down one of the most underrated money-making skills in business and life: reaction management. Drawing inspiration from Stoic philosophy and real-world negotiation experience, Travis explains why staying calm under pressure can dramatically increase your income, improve your leadership, and protect your investments. From closing a $150,000 wire with a steady poker face to navigating market crashes without panic-selling, this episode explores how emotional control creates leverage—and how overreaction quietly costs you money. On this episode we talk about: Why calm is a trainable skill—not just a personality trait The Stoic principle of controlling your reaction, not external events How emotional leakage hurts you in negotiations The psychology behind signaling desperation (even accidentally) Why investors lose money by reacting instead of holding How to separate perception from reality in “good” or “bad” news Top 3 Takeaways Reaction management creates leverage. The less emotional data you give away, the stronger your negotiating position becomes. There are no inherently good or bad events—only perception. Your response determines the outcome more than the event itself. Calm compounds. Chaos compounds faster. Whether in investing, leadership, or relationships, steady decision-making wins long term. Notable Quotes “Calm is a skill, chaos is a choice.” “It’s not a loss until you sell.” “Your reaction is not what makes information good or bad.

]]> 1466 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Paul Allen and Jeremy Miner Ready to master the art of influence, sales, and identity-driven persuasion? In this high-impact preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis sits down with sales performance expert Jeremy Miner and entrepreneur Paul Allen for a deep dive into the psychology behind decision-making, framing, and unlocking human potential. Jeremy unpacks the power of identity framing—a concept rooted in the work of Sigmund Freud—and explains why people don’t just buy products… they buy in alignment with who they believe they are. He reveals tactical examples of how to shift a prospect’s self-perception in real time, neutralize objections before they surface, and build someone into the identity of a decisive buyer, leader, or high performer. From handling self-belief objections to preventing the classic “I need to talk to my spouse” stall, Jeremy breaks down how subtle language shifts can completely transform conversations in sales, leadership, and even personal relationships. Paul then shares a powerful mindset reframe from his own entrepreneurial journey—how changing the words he used about investor meetings transformed his energy, confidence, and results, ultimately helping him raise over $15 million. He introduces the philosophy behind Soar AI Studio, inspired by the groundbreaking strengths-based psychology of Donald O. Clifton, and explains why most people have untapped talents they were never taught to recognize. Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong” with people, Paul explores what happens when you build systems—powered by AI—to amplify what’s already right. You’ll hear insights on: How to use identity framing to guide decisions without manipulation Why objections often stem from self-perception, not logic The language shifts that reshape workplace culture and leadership Reframing sales conversations from pressure to opportunity The future of AI as a tool for unlocking human strengths If you want to sell more effectively, lead more powerfully, and communicate in a way that reshapes how people see themselves, this preview gives you a front-row seat to a conversation that blends behavioral psychology, high-level sales strategy, and visionary thinking about human potential.

]]> 859 SOLO | Make Money by Becoming the Person Capable of Success In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down a powerful mindset shift that can change the trajectory of your life and business: the person you’re becoming matters more than what you’re building. Drawing from over 1,500 podcast episodes, 1,000+ interviews with top performers, and more than 200 books read in recent years, Travis shares why identity-based goals consistently outperform outcome-based goals—and how focusing on who you become leads to lasting success, fulfillment, and integrity. On this episode we talk about: Why identity-based goals are more powerful than outcome-based goals The danger of chasing success without becoming capable of sustaining it How short-term goal setting (like New Year’s resolutions) keeps people stuck Real-life examples of integrity failures from chasing outcomes at any cost How to build habits that transform you into the person your goals require Top 3 Takeaways Identity over outcome. If you become the type of person capable of achieving your goals, the results will follow—and they’ll last. Success without integrity always sends a bill. Shortcuts may bring temporary wins, but long-term character determines sustainable success. What you build can be lost. Who you become cannot. Develop the skills, habits, and mindset that make rebuilding possible no matter what happens. Notable Quotes "The person that you're becoming matters more than what you're building." "Success without integrity always sends a bill—and it's probably a bill you don't want to pay."

In this episode, Travis sits down in-studio with his producer Eric, a longtime content creator and podcaster himself, to unpack how technology, social media, and on-demand convenience are quietly reshaping our relationships, loneliness, and real-world social skills—and what to do about it. On this episode we talk about: Why Rainn Wilson says he’d be “screwed” if he were in his 20s today with phones, porn, and endless content How social media and AI chatbots create the illusion of connection while deepening loneliness The loss of shared, in-person experiences (like Blockbuster nights) in an on-demand, delivery-app world How convenience culture and online dating let you avoid discomfort—but also real growth and real relationships Practical ways to rebuild a real social life in 2026: analog habits, micro “resistance” moves, and saying “one more thing” in person Top 3 Takeaways Social media is media consumption, not a replacement for your social life; scrolling and DMing don’t count as real-world connection. Technology makes it easy to optimize for comfort (delivery apps, online dating, AI chats), but the most effective path to deep relationships is still in-person, uncomfortable reps. Simple habits—working from a coffee shop, talking to baristas, skipping self-checkout, carrying a book, and being okay with “not knowing everything”—can dramatically reduce isolation over time.

]]> 1708 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Betting on Yourself (and a Handful of Seeds) with Doug Evans Doug Evans is the founder and CEO of The Sprouting Company, an early pioneer in the natural foods industry, former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and author of the national bestseller The Sprout Book. From building a multimillion-dollar graphic design firm in his early 20s to exiting Organic Avenue in an eight-figure deal, to raising $120M for Juicero—and losing it all publicly—Doug’s entrepreneurial journey has been anything but linear. Now, he’s on a mission to revolutionize home food production by teaching people how to grow ultra-nutritious sprouts right on their kitchen counter. On this episode we talk about: Why being willing to do what nobody else wants to do creates opportunity Charging what you’re actually worth—and how one $25K invoice changed everything The hard lessons of raising venture capital and losing control of your company Turning public failure (Juicero) into personal reinvention Why sprouts may be the most underrated business (and health) opportunity of the decade The discipline required to override laziness, addiction, and self-sabotage Top 3 Takeaways Value your time—and price accordingly. Doug went from charging $200/hour to confidently asking for $25,000 for a single engagement. That shift in self-perception changed his earning ceiling overnight. VC money comes with strings. Raising $120M for Juicero created scale—but also invited control shifts that ultimately pushed Doug out of his own company. Solve your own problem first. The Sprouting Company was born from Doug asking, “What will I eat in the desert?” The best businesses often start as deeply personal solutions.

After losing her grandmother to cancer due to gaps in the system, Marly left a high-level corporate healthcare role (where she led 15,000+ employees) to build a solution that helps patients navigate appointments, insurance, billing errors, and life-changing diagnoses. Recognized by Forbes and Psychology Today, Marly is on a mission to become the “human prescription” patients desperately need. On this episode we talk about: The broken gaps in the healthcare system—and why they cost patients time, money, and even lives Why Marly quit her corporate job overnight to start her company How patient advocacy can save thousands in medical billing mistakes The emotional toll of navigating cancer diagnoses and complex care Building awareness for a service people don’t know they need—until it’s too late Top 3 Takeaways Time is everything in healthcare. Delays, missed appointments, and insurance red tape can drastically impact outcomes—especially with serious diagnoses like cancer. Medical bills are often negotiable or incorrect. Having an advocate can save you thousands simply by catching coding errors or fighting improper charges. Entrepreneurship requires courage. Marly “burned the boats,” left a comfortable executive role, and built a mission-driven company despite uncertainty and fear.

The episode kicks off with a reaction to a viral clip from Nick Huber (founder of Sweaty Startup), sparking a candid discussion about: Why so many people delay marriage and kids The cultural pressure to prioritize career over family Whether having children actually makes you a better person Why “hard things” often lead to the deepest fulfillment The difference between short-term freedom and long-term joy Travis shares his own experience getting married young, becoming a dad early, and how those choices shaped both his business mindset and emotional growth. They also explore why making permanent life decisions based on outside pressure — instead of personal clarity — often leads to regret later on. Along the way, there’s plenty of humor (including a throwback to Get Smart starring Steve Carell), plus thoughtful takes on: Why married people tend to earn more and report higher life satisfaction The hidden emotional depth that comes with parenthood How modern culture influences our biggest life choices Why optimizing for the “back half” of your life matters If you’ve ever questioned whether chasing success should come before building a family — or wondered what really leads to lasting happiness — this episode is a must-listen.

The episode kicks off with a reaction to a viral clip from Nick Huber (founder of Sweaty Startup), sparking a candid discussion about: Why so many people delay marriage and kids The cultural pressure to prioritize career over family Whether having children actually makes you a better person Why “hard things” often lead to the deepest fulfillment The difference between short-term freedom and long-term joy Travis shares his own experience getting married young, becoming a dad early, and how those choices shaped both his business mindset and emotional growth. They also explore why making permanent life decisions based on outside pressure — instead of personal clarity — often leads to regret later on. Along the way, there’s plenty of humor (including a throwback to Get Smart starring Steve Carell), plus thoughtful takes on: Why married people tend to earn more and report higher life satisfaction The hidden emotional depth that comes with parenthood How modern culture influences our biggest life choices Why optimizing for the “back half” of your life matters If you’ve ever questioned whether chasing success should come before building a family — or wondered what really leads to lasting happiness — this episode is a must-listen.

]]> 1626 TMF PREVIEW | Make Friends with Behavioral Scientist, Jon Levy Ready to transform the way you think about networking, success, and influence? In this revealing preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis sits down with behavioral scientist and author Jon Levy to unpack why your dormant and weak ties—not your closest friends—are often the real engine behind career breakthroughs and life-changing opportunities. Jon shares the story of hitting rock bottom—overweight, broke, and underemployed—then dedicating a year to reverse-engineering how highly influential people choose who they let into their inner circle, ultimately developing a model that helped him build profound, high-impact relationships. He breaks down the social pressures top performers face, why “Can I pick your brain over coffee?” is the fastest way to get ignored, and how most people never implement the advice they beg for—making it surprisingly easy to stand out if you simply execute. You’ll also hear a candid riff on why successful people are often far more generous than their reputation suggests, how to signal that you respect their time, and why consuming someone’s books, talks, or podcasts before reaching out is the new bare minimum. If you’ve ever wondered how to genuinely connect with industry leaders, become part of a real brain trust, and stop wasting your shots at building relationships that matter, hit play on this preview and get a front-row seat to Jon’s science-backed approach to building a powerful network.Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RUrACCORfA Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 690 SOLO | Make Money by Realizing You’re Not Behind — You’re Just Early In this powerful solo episode, Travis Chappell delivers a much-needed reminder for anyone chasing big goals: feeling behind doesn’t mean you’re failing — it usually means you’re still in the early stages of something meaningful. Travis opens up about years of late nights, driving beat-up cars, investing hundreds of thousands into personal growth, and watching friends enjoy short-term wins while he stayed focused on long-term success. He breaks down why progress feels invisible at first, how success actually compounds over time, and why most “overnight wins” are really decade-long journeys in disguise. If you’ve been grinding without seeing results yet, this episode will help you reframe the struggle and stay in the game. On this episode we talk about: Why comparing yourself to others can derail your momentum The “messy middle” and why most people quit there How investing in yourself pays off later (even when it feels painful now) Why success works like compound interest The truth behind so-called “overnight success stories” You’re not behind — you’re early. Big goals require long stretches of unseen effort before results appear. Progress compounds. Most growth happens at the end, not the beginning — just like investing. Stay in the game. You can’t win if you quit during the invisible middle. “Success is slow until it’s sudden.” “You’re doing all the work and getting none of the results — and that’s normal.” “You cannot win the game if you don’t keep playing.”  Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

What starts as a wild story about a customer throwing a burrito bowl turns into a deeper discussion about empathy, customer service, leadership, and why business owners must protect their teams. Travis shares his perspective on firing bad customers, treating service workers with respect, and how working high-volume people-facing jobs (like door-to-door sales) builds patience, emotional intelligence, and communication skills that translate directly into business success.

She launched the organization at just 14 years old after losing her grandfather to cancer — and has since mobilized over 43,000 volunteers across 80 countries, raised more than $650,000, and supported 15,000+ pediatric cancer patients globally. In this powerful episode of the Travis Makes Money, Olivia shares how personal loss became purpose, how social media helped scale her mission, and why “delusional optimism” might be your greatest entrepreneurial advantage. On this episode we talk about: How Olivia turned childhood grief into a global nonprofit movement Building impact with volunteers instead of relying on massive funding Using TikTok and content creation to scale a mission fast Overcoming imposter syndrome through action and evidence Why persistence beats credentials when building something meaningful Top 3 Takeaways Every post is a lottery ticket. Consistent content creation can completely change the trajectory of your life or business. Confidence is built through evidence. Taking action — even when scared — creates proof that you’re capable. Persistence beats talent. Success often comes down to who’s willing to hear “no” 170 times before getting a yes. Notable Quotes “You have to be crazy enough to believe you can do it — and crazy enough to do everything in your power to make it happen.” “I keep a ‘worth folder’ on my phone with messages from people we’ve helped.

]]> 921 CO-HOST | Make Money by Thinking for Yourself About Money On this episode, Travis is joined in-studio by his producer Eric for a fast-paced, funny breakdown of money and success quotes from famous entrepreneurs and billionaires. They react in real time—often disagreeing, reframing, or adding nuance—showing you how to think critically instead of blindly accepting “guru” wisdom. On this episode we talk about: Why some viral money quotes sound clever but fall apart under real-world scrutiny The danger of “borrow big” advice and why risk tolerance matters for each person Whether you really need inspiration and motivation to build something meaningful If work–life “balance” is even real for ambitious people who want to build wealth Why “never save, always invest” can be both smart and reckless depending on context Top 3 Takeaways Don’t just accept big-name quotes at face value; pause and ask, “Is this actually true for my situation, my goals, and my risk profile?” Advice about debt, hustle, and balance is highly personal—what works for a founder who thrives with their back against the wall might wreck someone else financially or emotionally. It’s better to build a life and business that genuinely lights you up than to chase money metrics (like being “the richest in the world”) that will never actually make you happy. Notable Quotes “You can take some of this advice way too far too quickly and end up in a position that’s almost impossible to recover from.” “If you need a pat on the back every day just to keep going, you might be doing the wrong thing in the first place.” “There is no balance—so you need to decide what trade-offs you’re actually willing to live with.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

  • Whether you really need inspiration and motivation to build something meaningful

  • If work–life “balance” is even real for ambitious people who want to build wealth

  • Why “never save, always invest” can be both smart and reckless depending on context

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Don’t just accept big-name quotes at face value; pause and ask, “Is this actually true for my situation, my goals, and my risk profile?”

  2. Advice about debt, hustle, and balance is highly personal—what works for a founder who thrives with their back against the wall might wreck someone else financially or emotionally.

  3. It’s better to build a life and business that genuinely lights you up than to chase money metrics (like being “the richest in the world”) that will never actually make you happy.

Notable Quotes

  • “You can take some of this advice way too far too quickly and end up in a position that’s almost impossible to recover from.”

  • “If you need a pat on the back every day just to keep going, you might be doing the wrong thing in the first place.”

  • “There is no balance—so you need to decide what trade-offs you’re actually willing to live with.”

Drawing from years of experience (and plenty of awkward early moments), Travis shares a practical framework for preparing for conversations, controlling the frame, avoiding the “fan bucket,” and building real relationships that open doors. If you’ve ever felt intimidated walking into rooms with powerful people, this episode gives you a simple playbook to show up confidently, listen better, and turn one conversation into many. On this episode we talk about: Why preparation gives you an unfair advantage in important conversations How to control the “frame” so you’re seen as a peer — not a fan The biggest networking mistake: word-vomiting instead of listening How to find real connection through shared interests and common ground Turning one great conversation into future opportunities (“build a connection from a connection”) Top 3 Takeaways Do your homework. Knowing even a little about someone before you meet them makes conversations easier and more memorable. Never put yourself in the fan bucket. High-level people connect with peers — not people who pedestalize them. Listen more than you talk. Asking thoughtful questions and staying chill makes you stand out in a sea of networkers. Notable Quotes “If you listen more than you talk, you’re way more likely to be remembered.” “You’re telling people whether to put you in the fan bucket or the peer bucket.” “Build a connection from a connection — don’t let a great conversation die.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: @travischappell Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1702 CO-HOST | Make Money by Spotting Red Flags in Online Offers In this episode, Travis and Eric break down the sales tactics used by influencers, coaches, and online “gurus” so you can protect your wallet and build a more trustworthy business. They walk through common marketing lines, identify which are red, yellow, or green flags, and explain how honest scarcity and clear expectations create long-term customer loyalty. On this episode we talk about: Why fake “limited spots” destroy trust and how to use real scarcity instead How Grant Cardone-style true scarcity trains buyers to take you seriously The danger of lines like “If you’re serious, you’ll find the money” and “You can’t afford not to do this” When deep discounts (“Normally $5,000, today $497”) are a problem—and when they’re legit Why honest guarantees, realistic expectations, and multiple valid “paths to success” matter for long-term business growth Top 3 Takeaways Real urgency and scarcity work, but only when they are actually true and consistently enforced. High‑pressure money talk and fake discount anchoring are major red flags that signal desperation and damage buyer trust over time. There is never just “one way” to succeed; sustainable growth comes from honest offers, clear expectations, and testing multiple strategies until you find what works for you. Notable Quotes “Every interaction, every transaction that you have with a customer or client is training them on how they’re going to interact with you again in the future.” “If you are going to have urgency and scarcity in your marketing, you should—but you should also have a reason why it’s scarce.” “When people buy into the idea that this is the only way, then when that way doesn’t work, it makes them feel like they’re a failure and they quit.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/TravisChappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell and https://www.instagram.com/travismakesfriends Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1582 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Turning Podcast Skills Into a Profitable Agency, feat. Seth Silvers In this episode, host Travis Chappell sits down with Seth Silvers, founder and CEO of Story On, one of the premier podcast production agencies helping businesses build authority through storytelling. Seth and his team work with top-tier creators and brands—including Alex Hormozi, Leila Hormozi, and Patrick Lencioni—and support numerous Top 100 business podcasts. Seth shares his journey from taking on almost any marketing work he could find to building a premium podcast agency, along with hard-earned lessons on pricing, positioning, and why podcasting is one of the most powerful long-term branding tools available today. On this episode we talk about: How Seth accidentally turned podcasting into a full-time business Using podcasts to build trust and credibility (even without massive downloads) Why most podcasters struggle to monetize—and a better path forward Structuring service offers and pricing without racing to the bottom The future of podcasting: video, branding, and podcasts as a business asset Top 3 Takeaways: Podcasting creates a “transfer of trust.” When people see you show up with quality, they assume you bring that same standard to everything you do. Pricing clarity changes everything. Seth credits implementing ideas from Profit First as a major turning point in getting out of debt and building a sustainable business. Premium clients care more about results than price. Solving higher-level problems for established businesses beats competing on cost every time. Notable Quotes “People see you show up in a quality way, and they transfer that trust to everything else you do.” “If you want us to actually do it for you, it’s going to be a premium—but we also have resources for every level.” “Podcasting isn’t a quick customer-acquisition tool.

]]> 1520 SOLO | Make Money by Doubling Down on What Works In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down what he’d do differently if he had to start over in business—and why the biggest wins often come from simply doing more of what already works. He shares real stories from his journey with podcasting, live events, and course sales to show how easy it is to walk away from winning plays too early and leave money and impact on the table. On this episode we talk about: Why “regret” is a useless emotion and how to reframe past mistakes The simple rule: double down on what’s working instead of reinventing yourself How Travis scaled his podcast output and thought through “what if we did even more?” The rise and pause of his live events business during 2020 and what he’d change How a nearly break-even webinar funnel was actually a gold mine he abandoned too soon Top 3 Takeaways Focus on what’s already working in your business and ask, “If this is working, how could I responsibly 2–3x it?” instead of constantly searching for a brand new idea. Don’t abandon winning offers or business models just because you hit obstacles; often the issue is structure (like missing backend offers), not product–market fit. When you feel “maxed out,” use thought experiments—“If I had to double this output, what would it look like?”—to uncover creative ways to expand without burning out. Notable Quotes “Double down on the things that are working instead of thinking you have to reinvent the wheel every time.” “Even when you think you’re tapped out, you might be able to go a little bit further—you just haven’t done the thought exercise yet.” “I abandoned things too early at the first sign of an obstacle instead of recognizing they were actually working.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1022 CO-HOST | Make Money by Understanding When (and When NOT) to Tip In this casual, live-recorded studio episode, Travis is joined by his producer Eric for an unfiltered conversation sparked by a clip from The Iced Coffee Hour and host Graham Stephan. What starts as light banter quickly turns into a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of tipping culture, customer experience, and how social pressure has quietly reshaped the way we spend money. On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis shares his honest opinions on when tipping makes sense, when it feels forced, and why “optional” tips are starting to feel more like hidden taxes. From self-serve frozen yogurt shops to high-end restaurants, this episode dives into the psychology of tipping—and how entrepreneurs and consumers alike should think about value, service, and expectations. If you’ve ever felt awkward staring at an iPad tip screen or wondered where the line should be drawn, this one’s for you. On this episode we talk about: Why tipping expectations have exploded over the last few years The difference between genuine service and automated tip prompts When Travis happily tips big—and when he refuses on principle How social pressure influences spending decisions Why tipping before service creates terrible customer experiences The personal rule Travis uses to decide whether he can “afford” a restaurant How businesses are quietly shifting labor costs onto customers Top 3 Takeaways A tip should reward great service—not replace fair wages. If you’re doing all the work yourself, you shouldn’t feel obligated to tip. If you can’t afford to tip generously at a nice place, you probably can’t afford to eat there yet. Notable Quotes “If I can’t afford to tip generously, then I don’t deserve to be eating at that place yet.” “That’s not a tip anymore—that’s just a tax.” “Tipping before the service is completed is one of the worst customer experiences there is.” Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

On this episode we talk about: Why tipping expectations have exploded over the last few years The difference between genuine service and automated tip prompts When Travis happily tips big—and when he refuses on principle How social pressure influences spending decisions Why tipping before service creates terrible customer experiences The personal rule Travis uses to decide whether he can “afford” a restaurant How businesses are quietly shifting labor costs onto customers Top 3 Takeaways A tip should reward great service—not replace fair wages. If you’re doing all the work yourself, you shouldn’t feel obligated to tip. If you can’t afford to tip generously at a nice place, you probably can’t afford to eat there yet. Notable Quotes “If I can’t afford to tip generously, then I don’t deserve to be eating at that place yet.” “That’s not a tip anymore—that’s just a tax.” “Tipping before the service is completed is one of the worst customer experiences there is.” Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1262 CO-HOST | Make Money by Valuing Your Audience (Even When It’s Just One Person) In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into why treating a small audience like a massive one is the fastest way to long-term success. From Gary Vee’s iconic “1 > 0” philosophy to Markiplier’s creator journey, they unpack what it really means to respect people’s attention, stop chasing vanity metrics, and show up consistently — even when the views feel small. This episode is a candid conversation about content creation, gratitude, and why every post is a lottery ticket. On this episode we talk about: Gary Vee’s “one is greater than zero” mindset and why it matters for creators Why small audiences deserve the same effort as large ones How social media metrics can distort reality and kill momentum Treating attention as earned — not owed Why consistency beats perfection when building online Top 3 Takeaways One person paying attention is already a win. Treat every viewer, listener, or follower like they matter — because they do. Stop chasing viral moments and start building trust. Long-term growth comes from showing up consistently, not waiting for overnight success. Your real competition is everything else fighting for attention. Netflix, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are all competing for the same eyeballs — so respect your audience’s time. Notable Quotes “The only way to get a massive audience is to treat your tiny audience like it’s already massive.” “Behind every subscriber is a person living their life and willing to give you their time.” “Every post is a lottery ticket — it only takes one to change everything.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

With over a decade of experience managing more than $200M in ad spend for brands like Dollar Tree, Revlon, and Thumbtack, Ashley has built a seven-figure company and recently crossed the eight-figure mark in total sales. In this episode, she breaks down what’s actually working in paid advertising today—and how business owners can take back control of their growth. On this episode we talk about: Why omnichannel advertising (Google, Meta, Spotify, and more) is outperforming single-platform strategies How to think about ads as “making known” — and why visibility is non-negotiable for business growth The real difference between creative messaging and media buying (and where to start if you’re new) Why Ashley believes manual ad control still beats fully automated AI setups How to build winning ad creatives without burning out on volume Top 3 Takeaways Don’t put all your eggs in one platform—combining Google intent traffic with social retargeting creates powerful familiarity and higher conversions. Strong messaging comes first: clear credibility, opportunity, and personality can outperform even imperfect targeting. Running ads without real expertise is costly—learning from someone who’s mastered the craft can compress years of trial and error into months.

Drawing from over 1,500 podcast episodes, hundreds of guest appearances, and years of studying high performers, Travis shares hard-earned lessons on focus, responsibility, and building momentum in a noisy world. This episode is a straight-talk deep dive into why focus is the new superpower — and how simplifying your path can radically change your results. On this episode we talk about: Why distraction — not lack of opportunity — is holding most people back Taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming circumstances The “rider, elephant, and path” framework for building better habits How shiny object syndrome sabotages entrepreneurs Why doing less (but better) creates bigger results Top 3 Takeaways Focus is the ultimate competitive advantage. In a world full of noise, the ability to concentrate on one thing until it succeeds is a superpower. You can’t control everything — but you can control your environment. Design your “path” to remove distractions so better decisions become automatic. Progress comes from commitment, not novelty. Whether in business or life, jumping paths feels exciting — but staying the course is what actually produces results.

]]> 1044 CO-HOST | Make Money Like Markiplier's Iron Lung Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down YouTuber Markiplier's self-financed horror film Iron Lung, which grossed over $20M (7x its $3M budget) and topped box office charts—without Hollywood backing. Their casual chat celebrates indie success while roasting studio "slop," low actor pay, and why creators with audiences have a massive edge. On this episode we talk about: Iron Lung's unicorn success: $3M self-funded, zero marketing budget, #1 at box office vs. big studio flops Hollywood's shady side: Missing box office charts, low actor pay ($2-5K/episode after cuts), no royalties Creator advantages: Built-in audiences = free marketing; YouTubers like Radio Silence (A24 hits) proving the model Why constraints breed better art: Low stakes, passion projects outperform bloated $100M+ budgets Lessons for creators: Make what excites you; democratized access means anyone can bypass gatekeepers Top 3 Takeaways Existing audiences are the ultimate marketing hack—Markiplier's casual promo beat Hollywood's $50M+ spends. Low-budget passion projects often outperform high-stakes slop because creators prioritize art over profit. Hollywood's math sucks for most: After agents/taxes, "star" roles pay peanuts—build your own leverage first. Notable Quotes "Iron Lung... has already done over $20 million in the box office and has been the number one movie through the weekend." "They just write somebody else...

]]> 1803 INTERVIEW | Make Money Building Boring Businesses with Marketing Legend Neil Patel Neil Patel is the co-founder of NP Digital, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most influential marketers in the world. Recognized by The Wall Street Journal as a top web influencer and named a Top 100 Entrepreneur by President Obama and the United Nations, Neil has spent decades building software companies, agencies, and media brands. In this episode, Neil shares how he made his first $20K/month at age 16, why he chose the “boring” agency path over venture-backed startups, and how founders can build real wealth without sacrificing their lives. On this episode we talk about: How Neil landed his first SEO clients as a teenager—and what sparked his entrepreneurial journey Why he believes agencies and “ugly businesses” are often better opportunities than flashy startups The real reason most founders fail (and why 10-year thinking changes everything) How lifestyle creep quietly kills financial freedom Where opportunity still exists for new entrepreneurs in an AI-driven world Why patience, persistence, and passion matter more than any single tactic Top 3 Takeaways There’s money in almost every industry—the key is finding something you enjoy enough to stick with for a decade. You don’t need venture capital or billion-dollar exits to win; profitable, bootstrapped businesses often create more freedom and wealth. Controlling lifestyle creep preserves optionality—real success comes from building a life you don’t want to escape from. Notable Quotes “There’s money in boring businesses—sometimes that’s where the biggest opportunities live.” “If you think in 10-year timelines instead of 12-month timelines, everything changes.” “It’s not worth making millions if you’re miserable, unhealthy, and disconnected from the people you love.” Connect with Neil Patel: Website / Agency: https://npdigital.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/neilpatel LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilkpatel/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neilpatel/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this solo episode, he shares the mindset shifts and investments that helped him go from door-to-door sales to full-time online entrepreneur and podcaster.​ On this episode we talk about: Why time is more important than money (and how your actions reveal what you really value)​ How investing in coaching and education can massively shortcut your learning curve​ Specific examples of using relationships and platform features to grow a podcast faster (Stitcher, Castbox, and more)​ Why money is a renewable resource but time is not—and what that means for your decisions​ How to use a 5–10 year sprint of working smarter and harder to buy back your time and design a life you actually want​ Top 3 Takeaways The best early investment you can make is in yourself—skills, knowledge, access, and relationships compound far more than most other expenses.​ Money is renewable; time is not, so use money to either make more money or buy back more of your time.​ A focused 5–10 year period of working both smarter and harder can create the optionality to spend most of your time on meaningful work and relationships.​ Notable Quotes "If you don't have a lot of money to invest, then probably the best thing that you can invest in is yourself."​ "Money is only as valuable as what you can exchange it for—and the ultimate use of money is to buy back your time."​ "Show me somebody who spent their time doing something they love with people they love, and I'll show you somebody who lived a mostly regret-free life."​ Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Other: https://travischappell.com​ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1340 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Vibe Coding and Launching Faster Than Ever with Anne Cocquyt Anne Cocquyt is a Silicon Valley operator, educator, and bestselling startup author who helps founders turn ideas into real businesses—fast. She’s the Founder & CEO of The Guild and The Guild Studio, an award-winning instructor at UC Berkeley, and a trusted advisor to accelerators around the world. In this episode, Anne breaks down how “vibe coding” and AI-powered tools are radically changing entrepreneurship—making it possible for anyone (even non-technical founders) to build MVPs, validate ideas, and reach market in days instead of months. On this episode we talk about: What “vibe coding” is and how non-technical founders can build MVPs in minutes Why traditional startup development (and million-dollar dev budgets) are becoming obsolete How AI is shrinking feedback loops and accelerating product-market fit The skills founders actually need in an AI-first world Practical ways to test ideas, validate demand, and market early-stage products Top 3 Takeaways You no longer need a big dev team or massive funding to launch—AI tools let founders build and iterate MVPs in days, not years. The real differentiator isn’t code anymore—it’s critical thinking, understanding users, and building something people actually want. Entrepreneurs who succeed will be “umbrella-skilled generalists,” able to build, test, market, and adapt quickly as technology evolves. Notable Quotes “Code is no longer a moat—the little dragon is the vibe coder.” “It’s not a question anymore if you can build it.

]]> 1725 SOLO | Make Money By Asking Better Questions: Motivational Interviewing This episode is a solo deep dive with Travis, host of Travis Makes Money, breaking down how motivational interviewing—a communication method created by psychologists William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick—can become a powerful tool for persuasion in business, sales, leadership, and personal growth. He shares personal stories, research-backed examples, and practical scripts that show how shifting from “convincing” to “uncovering” dramatically improves outcomes. On this episode we talk about: What motivational interviewing is and why most people persuade the wrong way. The real problem behind inaction: ambivalence, not lack of information. How addiction and healthcare studies prove this method works better than advice-giving. Using the 1–10 scale question and “Why is it not a two?” in sales conversations. Applying motivational interviewing with clients, employees, partners, and even your kids. Top 3 Takeaways People rarely change because you tell them to; they change faster when it feels like their idea, and motivational interviewing is designed to create that internal motivation. Asking precise questions like “On a scale of 1–10, how ready are you?” and “Why is it not a two?” pulls reasons for change out of the other person instead of pushing your arguments onto them. In sales and leadership, if you can explain someone’s problem back to them better than they can, they’ll assume you have the solution—so ask more questions, summarize clearly, and let them articulate their own standards and desired outcomes. Notable Quotes “Most people already know what they should do. The problem isn’t information, it’s ambivalence.” “People don’t change because they’re convinced; they change because they feel understood and they allow themselves to articulate the truth.” “Stop pitching and start pulling—talk less, ask better questions, and let them talk themselves into change.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1213 CO-HOST | Make Money By Thinking Differently About Time, Education, and Opportunity On this episode, Travis and his producer Eric riff through classic quotes from figures like Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Jim Rohn, Epictetus, and even the Joker’s mom, using each line as a launchpad to talk about money, time, self-education, and what opportunity really looks like in real life. They blend humor, movie references, and personal stories to challenge conventional wisdom and show why rethinking your relationship with learning, work, and wealth is essential if you want to build a life you actually enjoy. On this episode we talk about: Why “time is money” is incomplete and why time is actually more valuable than money How Warren Buffett illustrates the tradeoff between wealth and years of life The difference between formal education and self-education (and why school can make you hate learning) What opportunity really looks like, and why it usually shows up disguised as hard work and skill-building Stoic ideas about wealth, wanting less, and why money is a terrible master but an excellent servant Top 3 Takeaways Time is your most valuable asset, more important than money or status, and no amount of cash can buy back lost years. Self-education, driven by curiosity and discipline, is what creates real fortunes and career breakthroughs—especially once you realize school barely scratched the surface. Opportunity rarely appears as a dream job handed to you; it shows up as hard work, skill development, and adding value long before any big payoff. Notable Quotes "Time is the most valuable asset that we have, so it's actually greater than money." "Most people think education stops, but everything in my career started when I realized I didn’t know anything and had to go learn it myself." "People have this idealistic version of what opportunity looks like, but lack of opportunity is not what stands between you and success."

]]> 1268 INTERVIEW | Make Money By Mastering One Skill (Then Buying Back Your Freedom) with Ian Stanley Ian Stanley is a veteran online entrepreneur and one of the most respected email copywriters in the game. He built his reputation writing copy that has generated millions in sales, then used that skill to create a lifestyle business that funds his love for travel and stand-up comedy. In this episode, Ian breaks down how he went from broke college kid clicking on sketchy “make money online” offers to becoming the go-to guy for email copy—and how that one decision to master a single skill changed everything. On this episode we talk about: How Ian made his first $118.34 online during a college final—and why that moment convinced him he’d never need a “real job” again The decision to go all-in on email copywriting while everyone else tried to do everything and stayed broke Why your early 20s shouldn’t be “grind only” and how you actually lose the skill of having fun if you over-optimize for hustle Using a “learn while you earn” job in your 20s to get paid to acquire rare skills and see real numbers, ad spend, and data from the inside How Ian helped scale companies from low to mid eight figures by obsessing over copy, email, and split tests The reality of pursuing art (like stand-up) vs. business—and how money buys you the freedom to go all-in on the thing you actually love Whether copywriting will still matter in an AI world and how to use AI without outsourcing your thinking Why writing is still the foundation of all great communication, speaking, and content—even if AI tools can draft your first version The trap of trying to automate yourself out of all “hard work” and why you only get paid for the work you don’t want to do Top 3 Takeaways Master one valuable skill first—like copywriting or email marketing—before you try to build a complex business. Depth beats dabbling, especially early on. Your 20s are for both: have fun and develop skills. If you sacrifice fun completely, you risk becoming successful but miserable; if you sacrifice skills, you stay stuck. AI is a powerful amplifier, not a replacement for thinking. The winners will be those who understand good marketing, strategy, and ideas—and then use AI as a tool, not a crutch. Notable Quotes “Everybody online was trying to do everything and they were all poor.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Wed, 11 Feb 2026 09:15:00 -0000 full Travis Chappell Ian Stanley is a veteran online entrepreneur and one of the most respected email copywriters in the game. He built his reputation writing copy that has generated millions in sales, then used that skill to create a lifestyle business that funds his love for travel and stand-up comedy. In this episode, Ian breaks down how he went from broke college kid clicking on sketchy “make money online” offers to becoming the go-to guy for email copy—and how that one decision to master a single skill changed everything. On this episode we talk about: How Ian made his first $118.34 online during a college final—and why that moment convinced him he’d never need a “real job” again The decision to go all-in on email copywriting while everyone else tried to do everything and stayed broke Why your early 20s shouldn’t be “grind only” and how you actually lose the skill of having fun if you over-optimize for hustle Using a “learn while you earn” job in your 20s to get paid to acquire rare skills and see real numbers, ad spend, and data from the inside How Ian helped scale companies from low to mid eight figures by obsessing over copy, email, and split tests The reality of pursuing art (like stand-up) vs. business—and how money buys you the freedom to go all-in on the thing you actually love Whether copywriting will still matter in an AI world and how to use AI without outsourcing your thinking Why writing is still the foundation of all great communication, speaking, and content—even if AI tools can draft your first version The trap of trying to automate yourself out of all “hard work” and why you only get paid for the work you don’t want to do Top 3 Takeaways Master one valuable skill first—like copywriting or email marketing—before you try to build a complex business. Depth beats dabbling, especially early on. Your 20s are for both: have fun and develop skills. If you sacrifice fun completely, you risk becoming successful but miserable; if you sacrifice skills, you stay stuck. AI is a powerful amplifier, not a replacement for thinking. The winners will be those who understand good marketing, strategy, and ideas—and then use AI as a tool, not a crutch.

  • How Ian made his first $118.34 online during a college final—and why that moment convinced him he’d never need a “real job” again

  • The decision to go all-in on email copywriting while everyone else tried to do everything and stayed broke

  • Why your early 20s shouldn’t be “grind only” and how you actually lose the skill of having fun if you over-optimize for hustle

  • Using a “learn while you earn” job in your 20s to get paid to acquire rare skills and see real numbers, ad spend, and data from the inside

  • How Ian helped scale companies from low to mid eight figures by obsessing over copy, email, and split tests

  • The reality of pursuing art (like stand-up) vs. business—and how money buys you the freedom to go all-in on the thing you actually love

  • Whether copywriting will still matter in an AI world and how to use AI without outsourcing your thinking

  • Why writing is still the foundation of all great communication, speaking, and content—even if AI tools can draft your first version

  • The trap of trying to automate yourself out of all “hard work” and why you only get paid for the work you don’t want to do

He distills years of publishing over 1,500 podcast episodes, reading 200+ books, and countless hours of listening into a focused breakdown of why the adventure—not the outcome—is what truly matters. On this episode we talk about: What The Alchemist is really about and why it resonates with entrepreneurs The concept of a “personal legend” and how it applies to your goals and dreams Why settling for a “good enough” life keeps you stuck and resentful How to think about risk, comfort, and the closed fist vs. open hand mindset Parenting as preparation: helping your kids face struggle, fear, and their own adventure Top 3 Takeaways If you are not willing to risk what you have for what you want, you will probably never get it. Settling for a “good enough,” dream-adjacent life slowly turns into resentment toward people, opportunities, and the belief that there’s not enough out there. The real treasure is who you become on the journey—whether in business or parenting—and your job is to engineer struggle, growth, and adventure, not just comfort.

]]> 1180 CO-HOST | Make Money Without Frugal Regrets Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into whether "being good with money" can actually trap you in poverty by over-prioritizing frugality over life enjoyment. They debate Dave Ramsey-style saving vs. smart risks, using real stories like driving cars into the ground and delaying dream purchases until it's too late. On this episode we talk about: Trading mental health for frugality—driving 260k-mile cars as a "badge of honor" that backfires The Porsche 911 regret story: Waiting until 70 to buy your dream car, only to trade it with 2k miles Balance over extremes: Don't YOLO into debt, but don't delay family trips to Europe for "cash-only" rules Giving early and often—tips, GoFundMe, or urges—not rigid 10% church rules or corrupt nonprofits Why tipping feels best (direct impact) vs. tipping culture's annoying expectations at movie theaters Make more money as the real solution: Enjoy now and secure your future without sacrifice Top 3 Takeaways Frugality becomes toxic when it sacrifices mental health—buy the reliable car or family trip if you can afford it now, not at 72. Give generously when led to (tips, personal causes), not from guilt or rigid formulas; build the habit early regardless of income. Money's only value is what you exchange it for—prioritize experiences and peace today while protecting tomorrow by earning more. Notable Quotes "You don't want to wait till you're 72 to drive your dream car, because it's not as fun to drive when you're 72 as it is when you're 41." "If you don't build the habits when you have almost no money, you're probably not going to do it when you have some money." "Money is only useful for the things that you exchange it for."

]]> 1454 SOLO | Make Money by Mastering Influence Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on gaining influence—the essential skill for entrepreneurs, networkers, and anyone looking to close more deals or build authority. Drawing from Robert Cialdini's Influence, his podcast booking agency that hit $1M in 8 months, and years of relationship-building, Travis shares three proven paths to become undeniably influential without gimmicks or scams. On this episode we talk about: Why "be interested, not interesting" is half the networking equation—becoming a person of interest first "Badass bullets": How unique accomplishments (ultras, stadium tours, epic feats) make you a must-interview guest Value = influence: Give practical advice, entertainment, or insights to earn trust and obedience Examples from Gary Vee, MrBeast, and The Rock—how consistent value creation turns into massive business wins The power of frequency over volume: Short-form consistency builds long-term trust faster than you think Top 3 Takeaways Become a person of interest—stack unique life experiences (adventures, feats, stories) so others evangelize you naturally. Deliver value relentlessly; it doesn't have to be profound—entertainment or quick wins create loyal followers who act on your word. Stay consistent over time; frequency breeds trust, turning one-off interactions into lifelong influence. Notable Quotes "Value equals influence. The more value that you give, the more influence that you have." "People who do really interesting, cool things... become the evangelists for them just by very nature."

Packed with laughs, banter, and real talk on fame, education, saving vs. earning, and designing your own life path.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • Travis's massive nicotine stash and why he has a year's supply in his desk drawer​

  • How close friendships lead to knowing each other's stories too well (door-to-door sales, anyone?)​

  • Agree/disagree: "Life is a single player game" – owning your path without overvaluing others' opinions​

  • Agree/disagree: "You want to be rich and anonymous, not poor and famous" – podcast micro-fame vs. nightmare celebrity​

  • Agree/disagree: "The overeducated are worse off than the undereducated" – why street smarts often beat degrees​

  • Roasting Ben Franklin's "A penny saved is a penny earned" – earn more, don't obsess over coupons​

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. You're the main character in your own "single player game" – question inherited paths and design a life that fulfills you, not others' expectations.​

  2. Aim for "rich and anonymous" over fame; meaningful connections with a niche audience build sustainable businesses without public life hassles.​

  3. Focus on earning more money rather than extreme frugality – redirect "coupon-clipping" energy into income generation for real freedom.​

Notable Quotes

  • "You're the only person that has to wake up every day and be you."​

  • "Spend that free time figuring out a way to make extra money and you don't have to worry about where you fill up."​

  • "Would you rather be right or would you rather be successful?"​

]]> 1617 INTERVIEW | Make Money Redefining Vegas Nightlife: Wellness Events with Mikey Margolin Mikey Margolin is the founder of Etho Wellness Club, a social platform that's thrown 33 wellness events in Las Vegas in just eight months, drawing thousands with cold plunges, saunas, movement, music, and brand partners like Ever Bowl. Growing up in Vegas' party culture, he left a sports betting job to build healthier social spaces after battling drugs, alcohol, and gambling personally. Now he's creating the "third space" locals crave—fun without vices—while turning community demand into a scalable wellness ecosystem. On this episode we talk about: Why Vegas' traditional nightlife (partying, gambling, drugs) isn't sustainable, and how Mikey spotted demand for healthy social events blending music, movement, and recovery. His personal rock bottom in the gambling industry that forced him to quit and go all-in on Etho as his only path forward. Highs of massive community support (33 seamless events, inbound brand partnerships) vs. lows of thin margins and labor-intensive operations. Tactics for high-volume events: build a visionary team, keep marketing simple (flyers at gyms, word-of-mouth), and let great experiences drive organic growth. How post-COVID population booms and mindset shifts from California/Texas transplants are making Vegas ripe for wellness as the new "capital" of health. Top 3 Takeaways Start with community over business models—throw grassroots events to test demand, gather feedback, and let partnerships/revenue streams emerge organically (like Mikey's Puma/Lululemon deals). Overcome "closed fist" fear by surrendering to the mission; opportunities like venues and sponsors appear when you create real value first, even if margins start slim. Build the "third space" people crave (beyond home/work): accessible wellness clubs for daily hangs, not elite/exclusive, to foster belonging and health without vices. Notable Quotes "Why does it always have to be the healthy ones sacrificing? Let's create environments where healthy behavior is celebrated." "Everyone believed in what we were doing, but 'how will this pay the bills?'—we surrendered, threw the first event, and doors opened we never imagined." "Vegas is shifting: casinos' gambling/drinking numbers are down because people want healthier, happier lives."

]]> 1036 CO-HOST | Make Money by Repeating What Works (Ramsey Style) Travis and producer Eric break down a viral tweet questioning Dave Ramsey's $200M net worth and "no debt" advice, revealing why he's likely worth over a billion and how he built a debt-free empire preaching timeless financial basics. On this episode we talk about: A tweet claiming Dave Ramsey got rich selling "no credit card" advice he never followed himself. Ramsey Solutions' massive scale: 10M EveryDollar app users, $300M+ annual revenue, $300-400M in paid-off real estate. Why similar apps (TrueBill/Rocket Money) sold for $1.275B, proving Ramsey's hidden billionaire status. How to vet advice from "sellers" like coaches/authors without dismissing all profitable wisdom. The power of repeating simple truths (like "spend less than you make") for decades like Ramsey or Gary Vee. Top 3 Takeaways Practice beats preaching. Ramsey lives debt-free, owns everything outright, and scaled to billions without outside capital—proving his advice works at massive scale. Question financial incentives, but don't auto-discount. If someone's advice only makes them richer via high-ticket coaching, probe deeper; low-price scalability (books/courses) is often more legit. Boring repetition builds empires. Dave's said "spend less than you earn" for 30+ years; Gary Vee's hammered social/content for 20—find your core truth and repeat relentlessly. Notable Quotes "Dave Ramsey didn't get to $200 million by never using a credit card... He got to $200 million by selling that idea to you."  "EveryDollar is a multi-billion dollar company. Rocket Money (TrueBill) sold for $1.275B with 10M users—Ramsey owns it 100% debt-free."

]]> 1461 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Thinking Differently: Inside the Curious Mind of Elon Musk with Charles Steel Charles Steel spent two decades at top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs, The Carlyle Group, and Ares Management, working closely with management teams to build companies and deploy capital at scale. He later advised Tony Blair in Jerusalem, chaired Save the Children UK, and most recently authored The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently, where he dissects how the world’s most driven entrepreneur approaches risk, purpose, and problem-solving. Across finance, policy, and philanthropy, Charles brings a rare, multi-angle perspective on how big money and big ideas actually get made. On this episode we talk about: How a hectic teenage restaurant job taught Charles camaraderie, stoicism, and the confidence that “we’ll figure it out and get paid by the end of the day.” The path from a middle-class upbringing and studying history at Cambridge to landing at Goldman Sachs and learning what true excellence looks like. Why he wishes he’d fed his curiosity more at university—and how he’s become a student again later in life. The workload and culture at elite investment banks in the late ’90s, and the tradeoffs of chasing excellence at 80–100 hour weeks. How curiosity pulled him from private equity into advising Tony Blair in the Middle East and chairing Save the Children UK. Why Elon Musk is so hard to categorize and the three “ingredients” Charles believes truly explain him: existential anxiety, hyper-rational engineering, and unusual creativity. How Musk reframes risk, probability, and failure—and what regular entrepreneurs can learn from that mindset. Why embracing your “strangeness,” feeding your curiosity, and doing intricate, carefully made work can be a powerful (and profitable) life strategy. Top 3 Takeaways Curiosity is not just about asking questions; it’s about caring enough to explore deeply, cross disciplines, and stick with difficult, intricate work long enough to make something truly valuable. Elon Musk’s advantage isn’t just IQ or work ethic—it’s the way he reframes risk, failure, and the future as a range of possible outcomes he can influence by backing himself and acting boldly. You don’t need to copy Musk to benefit from his thinking; you can apply the same principles by betting on yourself, embracing hard problems, and leaning into what makes you different instead of trying to be “normal.” Notable Quotes “At Goldman Sachs, I learned what excellence really was.” “I wanted to understand what really drove him—what drives the most driven person in the world.” “Don’t worry so much about being normal. Embrace your differentness.” Connect with Charles Steel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-steel-3804397b/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/crasteel Other: Website – https://charlessteel.com (links to his book The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently and other work) Learn more about your ad choices.

Elon Musk’s advantage isn’t just IQ or work ethic—it’s the way he reframes risk, failure, and the future as a range of possible outcomes he can influence by backing himself and acting boldly. You don’t need to copy Musk to benefit from his thinking; you can apply the same principles by betting on yourself, embracing hard problems, and leaning into what makes you different instead of trying to be “normal.” Notable Quotes “At Goldman Sachs, I learned what excellence really was.” “I wanted to understand what really drove him—what drives the most driven person in the world.” “Don’t worry so much about being normal. Embrace your differentness.” Connect with Charles Steel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-steel-3804397b/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/crasteel Other: Website – https://charlessteel.com (links to his book The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently and other work) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Charles Steel spent two decades at top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs, The Carlyle Group, and Ares Management, working closely with management teams to build companies and deploy capital at scale. He later advised Tony Blair in Jerusalem, chaired Save the Children UK, and most recently authored The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently, where he dissects how the world’s most driven entrepreneur approaches risk, purpose, and problem-solving. Across finance, policy, and philanthropy, Charles brings a rare, multi-angle perspective on how big money and big ideas actually get made.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How a hectic teenage restaurant job taught Charles camaraderie, stoicism, and the confidence that “we’ll figure it out and get paid by the end of the day.”

  • The path from a middle-class upbringing and studying history at Cambridge to landing at Goldman Sachs and learning what true excellence looks like.

  • Why he wishes he’d fed his curiosity more at university—and how he’s become a student again later in life.

  • The workload and culture at elite investment banks in the late ’90s, and the tradeoffs of chasing excellence at 80–100 hour weeks.

  • How curiosity pulled him from private equity into advising Tony Blair in the Middle East and chairing Save the Children UK.

  • Why Elon Musk is so hard to categorize and the three “ingredients” Charles believes truly explain him: existential anxiety, hyper-rational engineering, and unusual creativity.

  • How Musk reframes risk, probability, and failure—and what regular entrepreneurs can learn from that mindset.

  • Why embracing your “strangeness,” feeding your curiosity, and doing intricate, carefully made work can be a powerful (and profitable) life strategy.

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Curiosity is not just about asking questions; it’s about caring enough to explore deeply, cross disciplines, and stick with difficult, intricate work long enough to make something truly valuable.

  2. Elon Musk’s advantage isn’t just IQ or work ethic—it’s the way he reframes risk, failure, and the future as a range of possible outcomes he can influence by backing himself and acting boldly.

  3. You don’t need to copy Musk to benefit from his thinking; you can apply the same principles by betting on yourself, embracing hard problems, and leaning into what makes you different instead of trying to be “normal.”

Notable Quotes

  • “At Goldman Sachs, I learned what excellence really was.”

  • “I wanted to understand what really drove him—what drives the most driven person in the world.”

  • “Don’t worry so much about being normal. Embrace your differentness.”

]]> 1033 CO-HOST | Make Money Without Losing Your Happiness (and Your Pizza Night) Travis is joined in the studio by his producer Eric for a fun but honest conversation about body image, fitness culture, and what it really means to optimize your life for long‑term health and happiness instead of just aesthetics. Together they unpack a viral Arthur Brooks clip about why the “happiest men over 40 are 25 pounds overweight,” and connect it to money, family, and the pressure to perform. On this episode we talk about: How a viral Arthur Brooks clip reframes what “healthy” and “happy” actually mean after 40. Why extreme fitness goals can quietly become another form of unhealthy obsession or body dysmorphia for men. The trade‑offs behind bodybuilding, steroids, TRT, and chasing the “movie superhero” physique. Balancing physical health with relationships, shared moments (like pizza night), and being present with your family. Applying the same optimization idea to money, careers, and success so you don’t sacrifice your whole life for one metric. Top 3 Takeaways Optimize across your whole life, not just one metric. Abs, money, or career status are only a few variables in the bigger equation that also includes relationships, spiritual life, joy, and service, and over‑optimizing one can wreck the others. Chasing an “ideal body” can become as dangerous as chasing money for its own sake. When your identity is tied only to a look or a number on the scale, you start making unhealthy sacrifices that actually move you away from true health and happiness. Enjoy the process and the people, not just the result. Whether it is eating carbs with your family on a trip, sharing dessert at grandma’s, or having a slice of pizza with your spouse, those small moments often matter more than perfect macros or picture‑perfect abs. Notable Quotes “You have to optimize across more than one variable. You have your abs, joy in your relationships, and spiritual transcendence—all different variables you’re trying to optimize simultaneously.” “To pursue the result at the expense of your personal health along the way is the opposite reason most of us started doing this in the first place.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it is easier to solve the rest of your problems when you’ve got money in the bank—so let’s solve that one first.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All‑In‑One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1480 INTERVIEW | Make Money with a Vivid Vision: Cameron Herold on Scaling and Clarity Cameron Herold is the mastermind behind the exponential growth of hundreds of companies worldwide and is often called the CEO Whisperer. He’s the founder of the COO Alliance and the Invest In Your Leaders training program, and the former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, where he helped scale revenue from 2 million to 106 million in just six years. He’s also the author of several influential business books, including Vivid Vision and Free PR, and hosts The Second in Command podcast. On this episode we talk about: How Cameron’s first “business” at seven years old collecting and reselling coat hangers sparked a lifelong entrepreneurial journey. Why entrepreneurial thinking (spotting opportunities, selling, leading, problem-solving) matters for every kid—even if they never start a company. How to practically “raise entrepreneurs” by letting kids run real mini-businesses without helicopter parenting. The difference between being an entrepreneur and being entrepreneurial, and why not everyone is wired to be a founder (and that’s okay). Cameron’s Vivid Vision framework, why most mission statements fail, and how to actually get your team aligned around the future. How founders can regain clarity when their original vision no longer fits, and where to turn when you feel “stuck” strategically. Why real relationship-building beats old-school “networking,” and how to put yourself in the right rooms with the right people. How to think about media and podcasts using the “digital trifecta” so every interview or feature keeps paying dividends for years. Top 3 Takeaways Raising entrepreneurial kids is less about forcing them to start companies and more about giving them reps in leadership, sales, negotiation, problem-solving, and time management—without rescuing them every time they struggle. A Vivid Vision is a detailed 3–5 page description of what your company looks, feels, and acts like three years in the future, and your job as a founder is to communicate that picture clearly and repeatedly so others can help build it. Media appearances (press, podcasts, features) only matter if you actively repurpose, promote, and reshare them; the long-term leverage comes from what you do with each “log on the fire,” not from the hit itself. Notable Quotes “We don’t need to raise our kids to be entrepreneurs, but we do need to raise them to be entrepreneurial.” “The Vivid Vision is a four- or five-page description of what every part of your company looks like, acts like, and feels like three years from now.” “It’s not about what podcast you’re on; it’s what you do with that podcast afterwards.” Connect with Cameron Herold: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coo-alliance/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/CameronHerold Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cameron_herold_cooalliance Other: Website – https://cameronherold.com (includes links to books, COO Alliance, Invest In Your Leaders, and his Second in Command podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 2105 SOLO | Make Money by Building a Well-Rounded Network On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell shares strategies from his "Explode Your Network" course on crafting balanced networks across success levels—basement (beginners), first-story (peers), second-story (slightly ahead), and cloud-level (ultra-successful). He explains how unbalanced networks breed complacency or ego traps, and reveals how to design "houses" of relationships for health, finance, and fulfillment. On this episode we talk about: Building a well-rounded network across four levels: helping those behind you, collaborating with peers, learning from those slightly ahead, and tapping abundance mindsets from the ultra-successful. Dangers of unbalanced networks—like complacency when surrounded only by beginners or limited advice from those just ahead who secretly root against your surpassing them. Crafting specialized "houses" for life areas (health, finance, fulfillment) with tailored relationships at each success ladder level. How your environment shapes your habits, beliefs, and actions—curate podcasts, social media, and inputs to redesign yourself without physical relocation. Starting content like podcasts to contribute to beginners while accelerating your own growth through teaching. Top 3 Takeaways Balance your network across success levels to avoid stagnation, ego-driven limits, or irrelevant advice—help those behind, peer effectively, learn selectively, and seek top-level abundance thinking. Design multiple "houses" of relationships for health, wealth, and fulfillment to build well-rounded success, not just one-dimensional wins. Own your environment: virtual inputs like podcasts and YouTube become your outputs, giving you control over who you become even without changing locations. Notable Quotes "They're rooting for you to be successful until you hit the limit that makes you then more successful than they are." "If your environment is what controls who you're going to be and you have control over your environment, then ultimately you have control over the person that you're going to be."

  3. Own your environment: virtual inputs like podcasts and YouTube become your outputs, giving you control over who you become even without changing locations.

Notable Quotes

  • "They're rooting for you to be successful until you hit the limit that makes you then more successful than they are."

  • "If your environment is what controls who you're going to be and you have control over your environment, then ultimately you have control over the person that you're going to be."

  • "The inputs that you have will eventually become your outputs."

]]> 1132 CO-HOST | Make Money by Selling Your Digital Twin?? On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and his producer Eric break down a wild new headline: top TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, reportedly selling his company and full AI likeness rights—face, voice, and behavior—for a staggering $900 million. They riff on what that means for creators, the ethics and upside of licensing your digital twin, and how AI is reshaping content, Hollywood, and the value of attention. Along the way, they veer into everything from Japanese conglomerates that make both bulldozers and magic wands to why practical filmmaking still matters in an AI-saturated world. On this episode we talk about: Khaby Lame’s rise from 2020 pandemic creator to 160M+ TikTok followers and a $900M likeness deal What it really means to authorize your face, voice, and behavior for AI “digital twin” use The difference between using AI as a tool (editing, simulation) versus fully replacing human talent How AI content, deep fakes, and fake “news” clips are eroding trust in what we see online Why practical filmmaking tricks and imperfect, human moments still matter more than flawless AI shots Top 3 Takeaways The value of attention is exploding, and top creators can now monetize not just sponsorships and licensing, but their entire digital twin for generational wealth. There’s a huge ethical and creative gap between using AI to support production (editing, simulations) and using it to fully replace human performers, likenesses, and original work. For most creators and entrepreneurs, the actionable move is simple: consistently create and publish, because you have no idea how valuable your personal brand and IP might become in a few short years. Notable Quotes “He sold his likeness for $900 million. I don’t even know what to say. That breaks my brain.” “Churches are businesses and evangelizing is marketing and sales—but this AI likeness deal is like selling your soul on hard mode.” “If you’re not creating content, you could be missing out on $900 million.

]]> 1429 SOLO | Make Money with a Competitive Advantage On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell shares three simple—but not easy—habits that create a massive competitive edge: showing up, doing what you say, and embracing boring consistency. He draws from his journey leaving door-to-door sales for online business, explaining how these "duh" principles separate top performers from the pack.​ On this episode we talk about: How just showing up consistently at key events and opportunities builds trust, relationships, and unexpected doors—like Travis flying to Australia for a podcast conference.​ Why doing what you say you'll do—even to yourself—builds unshakeable confidence and reputation, while breaking promises burns bridges.​ The power of getting "prolifically comfortable" with boring, repetitive tasks like daily cold calling or lead gen that compound into massive results.​ Overcoming modern barriers like the "indoor epidemic" of phones and Netflix that make showing up feel harder than ever.​ How anyone can apply these to fields like real estate, sales, or online business for outsized success without fancy degrees or rich parents.​ Top 3 Takeaways Show up everywhere opportunities happen—even if it's inconvenient like flying halfway around the world—because half the battle is just being there when others aren't.​ Do what you say you're going to do with everyone, including yourself, to build trust, confidence, and avoid self-sabotage from broken promises.​ Get predictably comfortable with boring consistency in lead gen or daily tasks; the first months suck, but compounding separates the top 1% from everyone else.​ Notable Quotes "If you're willing to do the things that other people are not willing to do, then you can live a life that nobody else can live."​ "Showing up is just half the battle... usually more opportunity is going to come your way."​ "Get prolifically comfortable with boring consistency... those activities will compound."​ Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1264 CO-HOST | Make Money by Using Church Training to Win in Business On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and his producer Eric break down how growing up doing church evangelism and door-to-door ministry directly built the skills that now drive their success in sales, business, and live events. They connect boldness, public speaking, and persuasive event design from the church world to modern seminar businesses, high-ticket offers, and entrepreneurship. On this episode we talk about: How knocking doors for church as a kid builds boldness, courage, and comfort with rejection. The parallels between churches and businesses: evangelism as marketing and sales, discipleship as fulfillment, and church growth as a sophisticated funnel. How youth conferences, altar calls, and engineered environments mirror modern seminar and event-based business models. Why public speaking is one of the most powerful skills you can give your kids and how Travis and Eric developed it in church. How event companies like Aspire use massive, break-even events to feed a back-end engine of services for entrepreneurs. Top 3 Takeaways The exercise of boldness in evangelism—asking uncomfortable questions on doorsteps—translates directly into overcoming fear of rejection and confidently asking for the sale. Churches often run like sophisticated businesses, using events, emotional environments, and clear calls-to-action in ways that mirror high-performing seminar and funnel-driven companies. Early, repeated reps in public speaking and performing in front of people create an unfair advantage in leadership, sales, and content creation later in life. Notable Quotes "Churches are businesses… evangelizing is marketing and sales. That's literally what it is." "Boldness and courage are wildly underrated aspects of success in any business venture." "You did all this work…and you're not going to ask for the business?"

]]> 1924 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Finding Alignment, feat. Vinny Brusco Vinny Brusco is an insight and perspective coach, community builder, and podcast host who helps men cultivate clarity, connection, and purpose. After 16 years in the car business, he walked away from a lucrative but misaligned career to build a life and business rooted in what matters most to him: authentic brotherhood, mental and spiritual health, and intentional living. As the founder of Agora Social Club and host of The Council of Dudes podcast (with over 500 episodes), Vinny creates spaces where men can drop the performative self-help act and actually live in alignment instead of autopilot. On this episode we talk about: Leaving a high-income, misaligned career for a more meaningful path How sales skills become a “break glass in case of emergency” safety net Why fulfillment in the pursuit matters more than status or titles The loneliness epidemic among men and entrepreneurs Building real, local community through Agora Social Club and long-form conversation Top 3 Takeaways You can be making great money and still be completely out of alignment—and no number in your bank account will fix that internal mismatch. Learning to sell is one of the most valuable “forever skills” you can develop, giving you the confidence to take bigger risks in pursuit of a life you actually want. Deep, in-person community and long-form conversation are antidotes to modern male loneliness, especially for entrepreneurial men who often feel isolated at the top. Notable Quotes “This isn’t a weekend hobby; it’s a heart-and-soul project that needs a life force behind it.” “If you’d still do it even if you never became ‘the best’ at it, you’re probably on the right path.” “The transaction is just an energetic byproduct of a real, authentic conversation.” Connect with Vinny Brusco: Instagram (personal): @vinnybrusco Agora Social Club website: agorasocialclub.com Instagram (club): @agora_westchester Podcast: The Council of Dudes Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Vinny Brusco is an insight and perspective coach, community builder, and podcast host who helps men cultivate clarity, connection, and purpose. After 16 years in the car business, he walked away from a lucrative but misaligned career to build a life and business rooted in what matters most to him: authentic brotherhood, mental and spiritual health, and intentional living. As the founder of Agora Social Club and host of The Council of Dudes podcast (with over 500 episodes), Vinny creates spaces where men can drop the performative self-help act and actually live in alignment instead of autopilot.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Leaving a high-income, misaligned career for a more meaningful path

  • How sales skills become a “break glass in case of emergency” safety net

  • Why fulfillment in the pursuit matters more than status or titles

  • The loneliness epidemic among men and entrepreneurs

  • Building real, local community through Agora Social Club and long-form conversation

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. You can be making great money and still be completely out of alignment—and no number in your bank account will fix that internal mismatch.

  2. Learning to sell is one of the most valuable “forever skills” you can develop, giving you the confidence to take bigger risks in pursuit of a life you actually want.

  3. Deep, in-person community and long-form conversation are antidotes to modern male loneliness, especially for entrepreneurial men who often feel isolated at the top.

Notable Quotes

  • “This isn’t a weekend hobby; it’s a heart-and-soul project that needs a life force behind it.”

  • “If you’d still do it even if you never became ‘the best’ at it, you’re probably on the right path.”

  • “The transaction is just an energetic byproduct of a real, authentic conversation.”

]]> 1578 SOLO | Make Money by Improving the Quality of Your Life On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell breaks down the three core levers that determine the overall quality of your life and, ultimately, your long-term success. Drawing from his own journey as a podcaster, entrepreneur, and student of personal development, Travis shares practical frameworks you can apply immediately to upgrade your thinking, your routines, and your relationships. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your life is shaped by three core factors: questions, habits, and relationships. How asking better questions leads to better answers, deeper self-awareness, and clearer direction. A practical exercise for sitting down with a blank page and writing questions that guide your next steps. How to think about discipline as a “bank account” and use it to systematically build powerful habits. Why your long-term happiness and success are most strongly tied to the depth and quality of your closest relationships. Top 3 Takeaways The quality of your questions—both to yourself and to others—determines the quality of your answers, your beliefs, and ultimately your actions. Discipline resets daily like a bank account, so focus on using it to build small, sequential habits that eventually appear effortless to outsiders. Over the long run, the depth and strength of your key relationships are the single biggest predictor of your happiness and fulfillment. Notable Quotes "Ask better questions, you get better answers." "Show me your habits now, and I'll show you who you'll be in five years from now." "Relationships plus nothing equals everything to me."

]]> 1338 INTERVIEW | Make Money with Job Content (Not Just Brand Deals) feat. Katie Fortunato Katie Fortunato is the co-founder and EVP of Platform Innovation and Strategy at Hire Innovations, where she’s fixing a broken talent acquisition system with a human-centric AI platform that cuts through bots, ghosting, and phantom job posts. With a background leading brand experiences and business development at MTV, AOL, and The Wall Street Journal, she’s spent years at the intersection of traditional media and the creator economy. Now she’s helping entrepreneurs, brands, and creators turn job seekers and “work content” into real revenue while connecting Gen Z and millennial talent with AI-resistant, high-value roles. On this episode we talk about: How creators can monetize job-related content for the first time What “the ShopMy of job content” is and how it works Why most great jobs never hit LinkedIn or Indeed How brands can turn employees into a powerful referral and creator network What today’s talent really wants: culture, fair pay, impact, and values alignment Top 3 Takeaways Job content is an untapped revenue stream for creators, newsletters, and communities whose audiences are anxious about layoffs, AI, and career uncertainty. Referral-style hiring is still king—turning your employees and creator partners into a scaled referral network beats sifting through hundreds of unqualified applicants. The strongest employer brands lead with culture, fair compensation, training, and real social impact, then back it up with values they actually live, not just words on a wall. Notable Quotes “We’re basically democratizing access to referrals—anyone can refer anyone to a job.” “You can’t outsource culture. It has to start at the top and be lived every day.” “People want to feel part of something bigger—what role is your company actually playing in society?” Connect with Katie Fortunato: Website / Platform: https://getjobstream.com/ Company: https://hireinnovations.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katieclarkfortunato/ Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1274 CO-HOST | Make Money by Working Smarter, Not Busier On this episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a candid conversation about ditching hustle culture and getting truly productive. They unpack how Travis learned to ruthlessly prioritize his time while launching a software company, and why shifting from “busy” to “effective” helped his team break seven figures in revenue. Along the way, they break down frameworks from EOS, Traction, The One Thing, and lessons from leaders like Sharan Srivatsa, Ed Mylett, and the Hormozis on using your time like a real CEO. On this episode we talk about: Why people confuse being busy with being valuable—and how that sabotages real progress. How Travis redefined his role as a CEO around talent, cash, and vision instead of doing everything himself. Using EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), Traction, and The One Thing to reverse engineer high‑leverage daily priorities. The real message behind Ed Mylett’s “21 days a week” concept and why most people only work 2–4 truly productive hours a day. Practical ways solopreneurs can time‑block their day, audit their activities, and turn three “days” of output into one. Top 3 Takeaways Your worth is not measured by how busy you look; it is measured by the results you create from a few high‑leverage actions done consistently. A CEO’s job is to recruit and retain talent, keep cash in the bank, and cast vision—everything else should be delegated or eliminated as fast as possible. Compressing time by stacking focused blocks of deep, productive work over months and years completely changes your business trajectory and quality of life. Notable Quotes “At some point, you have to ruthlessly prioritize what makes it onto your calendar or you’ll do a bunch of stuff and get nothing done.” “The idea that more hours equals better output is false; it is what you do with the hours you actually work that moves the needle.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://www.travismakesmoney.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1462 INTERVIEW | Make Money by Making Better Decisions with Evan Marks Evan Marks is a Wall Street veteran with 25 years of experience in trading and market psychology, and the founder of M1 Performance Group. He helps high performers master decision-making under pressure, turning mindset and emotional control into consistent, measurable financial results. Known for his work on risk, discipline, and clarity, Evan has used his own performance frameworks to generate $50–100K months in realized income while coaching traders, hedge fund managers, and ambitious professionals. On this episode we talk about: How Evan went from hedge fund veteran to performance coach The difference between impulsivity and true intuition in decision-making Using emotions as data instead of trying to suppress them Why consistent decision frameworks beat random “gut feelings” over time The “callous building phase” and staying in the game long enough to see results Top 3 Takeaways You can’t make great decisions by ignoring your emotions; you need to understand and use them as data inside a clear decision-making framework.

]]> 1425 SOLO | Make Money with Radical Responsibility On this solo episode, host Travis Chappell breaks down one of the core values that has transformed his life and business: radical responsibility. Drawing from his background in door-to-door sales, leadership, and entrepreneurship, Travis shares hard-earned lessons about refusing to blame circumstances and instead reclaiming control over outcomes. Through real stories—from struggling sales reps to young first-time employees and heavy life situations like health crises—he lays out a practical, mindset-first framework for taking ownership so you can actually change your results. On this episode we talk about: Why adopting your own values (instead of inherited beliefs) is essential to growth. What radical responsibility really means and how it differs from simple self-awareness. The difference between “producing results” and “producing excuses” in sales and business. How taking ownership (even when it doesn’t feel like your fault) gives you power and control back. Why fault and responsibility are not the same—and how this applies to unfair or painful life circumstances. Top 3 Takeaways Radical responsibility is the starting point for becoming the person you want to be; if nothing is ever your fault, there is no path to improvement. You are always producing something—either results or excuses—and only those who own their mistakes can actually learn, adjust, and win long term. Something can be “not your fault” and still 100% your responsibility; you can’t control the cards you’re dealt, but you can control how you play them. Notable Quotes “Everybody produces. You’re just either producing results or you’re producing excuses.” “Blame feels good, but it destroys all agency. Responsibility gives you your power back.” “You can’t control the cards that you get dealt, but it is your responsibility to play them to the best of your ability.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://www.travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

From dissecting White Lotus characters to breaking down what true financial security really means, Travis shares insights on why confidence in your ability to earn beats any number in the bank. Known for helping creators and entrepreneurs master income generation, Travis blends humor, vulnerability, and actionable advice that’ll leave you rethinking your relationship with money. On this episode we talk about: Why confidence in your earning ability matters more than your savings balance The $10 million security number—does it really mean freedom? Why “comfortably” living in America now means a six-figure income How scarcity can actually fuel productivity and focus The mindset shift that keeps entrepreneurs resilient through financial risks Top 3 Takeaways Financial security isn’t tied to a number—it’s rooted in your confidence to generate income when needed. Comfort looks different today: for most families, living well now requires over $100K a year in virtually every U.S. state. Investing in yourself and your ability to earn is far more valuable than stockpiling money in a savings account. Notable Quotes “My security stems from my confidence that I can generate money out of nothing.” “If you can wake up tomorrow and know you can earn, you already have real financial security.” “Money only solves your money problems—but it’s a lot easier to solve the rest when you’ve got some in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1701 INTERVIEW: Make Money by Becoming Indispensable Behind the Scenes | Ben Dogra In this episode, Travis Chappell sits down with legendary NFL agent Ben Dogra, one of the most influential figures in modern sports representation. Over a three-decade career, Ben has represented a record-breaking 54 NFL first-round draft picks and helped build what Sports Business Journal once called the most dominant player-representation practice in the business. From immigrating to the U.S. as a five-year-old with hardworking parents to quietly shaping locker rooms and boardrooms at SFX Football and later CAA, Ben’s story is a masterclass in work ethic, humility, and strategic thinking.​ On this episode we talk about: How Ben went from immigrant kid washing dishes at 10 to top NFL agent with 54 first-rounders The unconventional path: 52 law school rejections, one yes, and working for free to get in the door Why he chose to avoid the spotlight and build power through quiet influence, not personal fame How agents really make money, and why billionaires and athletes live in different financial universes Why athletes go broke, the power of the right team around you, and what it actually takes to win long term Top 3 Takeaways You do not need the “front man” role to make life-changing money; becoming the indispensable strategist behind the scenes can be just as lucrative and often more sustainable.​ Work ethic plus strategic positioning beats raw talent alone—Ben leveraged his mind, research, and persistence to win in a space where he had no traditional advantages.​ Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or professional, chasing mastery and the right opportunities—not quick cash or fame—is what leads to lasting wealth and leverage.​ Notable Quotes “If I can outwork you and I love what I do, I should make money in any field.”​ “I didn’t chase the limelight; I chased the work. I wanted to be the guy in the back room that nobody could replace.”​ “Don’t try to keep up with the billionaires.

]]> 3005 SOLO | Make Money By Becoming Someone Who Deserves Success On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis breaks down the mindset and habits required to deserve the success you say you want, not just wish for it. Using stories from his early podcasting days and his transition out of door-to-door sales, he explains how shifting from “this is what I want” to “this is what I deserve” changes how you think, act, and build your environment. On this episode we talk about: Why the show now releases three episodes every day and how each format (solo, co-hosted, interview) serves listeners The difference between wanting success and actually deserving it The “rat race” of chasing success versus becoming someone success is drawn to The core question: “How can I become someone who deserves the success that I desire?” The three pillars of deserving success: beliefs, actions, and relationships The origin and impact of the quote “Be so good they can’t ignore you” in Travis’s career The role of “delusional optimism” and belief, especially for younger people Why your environment and closest relationships can quietly shape your results Top 3 Takeaways Success isn’t just about setting big goals; it’s about becoming the kind of person for whom those goals are a natural byproduct—someone who truly deserves them. Beliefs, actions, and relationships form a stack: powerful beliefs fuel massive action, and the right environment reinforces both, making your desired success far more likely. You must dramatically increase your volume of action—so much that it would be unreasonable not to get results—while staying flexible about how your dreams ultimately come to life.

]]> 1415 CO-HOST: Make Money Without Becoming a Villain Travis is joined by his producer Eric for an unfiltered, off-the-cuff conversation that was never planned to be an episode—but absolutely needed to be one. What starts as a story about being blocked by the Instagram account Baller Busters turns into a deeper discussion about truth, intellectual honesty, online call-out culture, platforming controversial voices, and the responsibility that comes with “exposing” people online. This episode pulls back the curtain on how narratives are formed, how echo chambers are built, and how creators can disagree without becoming destructive. On this episode we talk about: The rise of exposure accounts and the dangers of online echo chambers What happened after Eric was blocked by Baller Busters for a neutral comment Intellectual honesty vs. outrage-driven content When coaching, investing, or online business crosses into “scam” territory How Travis decides who to platform—and why good-faith conversations matter Top 3 Takeaways Truth requires multiple perspectives. Blocking dissenting voices doesn’t protect people—it reinforces narratives without accountability. Not every failure equals a scam. Coaching, investing, and entrepreneurship involve risk, and outcomes vary widely. Good-faith conversations beat outrage every time. If the goal is growth, connection, and learning, intent matters more than agreement. Notable Quotes “If you’re going to expose people, you owe it to their lives and families to be intellectually honest.” “Blocking everyone who disagrees with you doesn’t create truth—it creates an echo chamber.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it’s easier to solve the rest with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1531 INTERVIEW: Make Money Leveraging with Media | Lauren Cobello Lauren Cobello is the CEO and founder of Leverage with Media PR, a boutique public relations agency that helps authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders use media strategically to build authority, credibility, and growth. Before launching her agency, she spent nearly two decades building her own personal brand as a personal finance expert, becoming a three-time author and regular national TV personality on shows like The Today Show, Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, and Rachael Ray. After scaling her personal brand to seven figures, she sold that company and bootstrapped Leverage with Media PR from zero to a million-dollar agency in just 10 months.​ On this episode we talk about: How Lauren paid off 40,000 dollars in debt and built a personal finance brand from a couponing blog.​ How national TV appearances became top-of-funnel “ads” that fueled her seven-figure business.​ Why she sold her first company, downsized her lifestyle, and went all-in on starting a PR agency debt free.​ The truth about the PR industry, including low-quality agencies, profit-first models, and why so many founders feel burned.​ How traditional media, podcasts, and social platforms now work together to build authority in 2026.​ Why relationships and senior-level publicists are the real differentiators for landing meaningful TV and podcast placements.​ The realities of getting on top podcasts like Joe Rogan and why most entrepreneurs need a more strategic, ego-free media plan.​ Top 3 Takeaways Media is a multiplier: When used strategically, every TV appearance, podcast, or feature should act as top of funnel that drives people into a sales ecosystem and builds trust before you ever enter the room.​ Not all PR is created equal: Most agencies optimize for profit, staffing junior or outsourced teams, while the firms that actually move the needle rely on senior publicists with deep relationships and clear KPIs.​ Traditional media isn’t dead—it's leveraged: In 2026, the strongest brands blend traditional TV, podcasts, social, and newsletters, using prestigious earned media (like major TV shows) for credibility and association that makes everything else easier.​ Notable Quotes "Every single TV appearance that I did became top of funnel—an ad that went into my sales funnel and got people to trust me before I even walked in the room."​ "PR is not marketing, and most PR agencies are full of it because they sell promises junior teams can’t fulfill."​ "You probably aren’t going on the top five podcasts you’re dreaming about, but the right ‘smaller’ shows can move the needle more than the ones with fake followers and vanity metrics."​ Connect with Lauren Cobello: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leveragewithmediapr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leveragewithmedia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauren_cobello Other: Leverage with Media PR  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 2409 SOLO | Make Money By Becoming Someone Your Kids Can Be Proud Of Travis kicks off a new solo format for Travis Makes Money, focusing on personal development and how becoming your best self is the real foundation for making more money and living well. He draws on years of relentless self-education—hundreds of books and countless podcast episodes—to share lessons from his own growth journey as a dad, entrepreneur, and competitor. In this episode, he uses parenting as a lens to explore legacy, habits, and the kind of person you must become if you want your kids to thrive. On this episode we talk about: Why the show is shifting to three episodes a day and what each format will cover How solo episodes will focus on personal growth and lessons from Travis’s own journey The core question: “Would I be proud if my kids became me?” How kids absorb behaviors instead of advice, and what that means for parenting Balancing competitiveness with learning how to lose well (and what UNO reveals about character) Why your true legacy is your values, habits, and self-talk—not your bank account The danger of trying to spare your kids from pain and the importance of their “adventure” The “live like you’re being watched” mindset for becoming a better human Top 3 Takeaways Your kids won’t become who you tell them to be; they’ll become who you are. The most powerful parenting tool you have is your daily behavior. The best inheritance isn’t money—it’s your self-talk, habits, standards, and values. Those intangibles will serve your kids far longer than any cash you pass down. Live as if your life is being filmed and copied by a billion people. If everyone lived like you did today, would the world be better or worse? Let that question guide your choices. Notable Quotes “Kids absorb behaviors, not advice.

]]> 1108 CO-HOST: Make Money By Not Being “Too Nice” In this episode, Travis and Eric unpack how “being the nice guy” can quietly cap your income, dilute your message, and keep you from standing up for what you really believe. They blend humor, personal stories, and hard-earned lessons from faith, content creation, and business to explore the difference between being nice and being truly kind. On this episode we talk about: Why “being too nice” can hurt not just your income, but your confidence and identity. Growing up unable to take credit for your wins and how that impacts self-belief as an adult. The shift from wanting to be “the nice guy” to focusing on being genuinely kind and honest. Navigating criticism, audience crossover, and the impossibility of making everyone like you. How to choose your “hills to die on” and stop suppressing yourself just to keep the peace. Top 3 Takeaways If your main goal is to be known as the “nice” person, you’ll struggle to do anything meaningful that requires you to take a stand or risk disappointing people. You can’t win the game of being liked by everyone; trying to do so forces you to hide parts of yourself and builds shallow relationships based only on curated versions of who you are. Healthy growth lives in the middle: care about what the right people think, interrogate feedback, but stop reshaping your life to please people who aren’t truly invested in you. Notable Quotes "If you're known for being the nice guy, then you're not known for anything else." "You can never win the game of everybody liking you all the time." "Don't make being the nice guy your pursuit. Be kind to everybody, but if you're looking to be the nice guy, then that's all you'll ever be."

]]> 1490 CO-HOST: Make Money Without Letting Your Purchases Define You When it comes to money, status, and stuff, the line between “progress” and “pointless flex” can get blurry fast. In this episode, Travis and Eric break down the psychology behind big purchases, status signaling, and those subtle (and not-so-subtle) money games people play at dinners, events, and in their DMs. From buying a truck that literally lost a wheel to splitting a $400-per-head Vegas dinner he barely ate, Travis shares the real lessons behind spending, signaling, and staying sane around wealthy people. On this episode we talk about: The truck purchase that felt like “making it” but really wasn’t Why some “level-up” buys are actually just expensive distractions Chasing status in high school with phones, Beats, and gadgets How rich dinners, bottle service, and bill-splitting mess with your head What Travis would actually hate to sell if he had to clear out his life Top 3 Takeaways The feeling from a flashy purchase is temporary; the money you spent is gone forever. It’s better to pursue the ability to buy anything you want than to obsess over specific status items. Generosity at the table (picking up the bill, being fair about splitting) builds real social capital that outlasts any flex. Notable Quotes “That feeling was fleeting, but the money was gone forever.” “I stopped caring about the thing and started caring about my ability to go buy the thing.” “If I have the money, I don’t need the company to bless me with a trip to The Bahamas—I can just go to The Bahamas.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell Website: travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

From cringe-worthy “Karen” interactions to clueless pitches, the two unpack what not to do when trying to close a deal. With laughter, role-playing, and a little sales therapy, they uncover why emotional intelligence still beats any script. On this episode we talk about: The worst door-to-door sales tactics caught on camera Why self-awareness matters more than a sales pitch The art of knowing when to walk away from a “no” How not to represent your business online The hilarious (and humbling) lessons from Travis and Eric’s own early sales days Top 3 Takeaways Confidence is good—persistence without awareness is just annoying.

  2. Filming your bad interactions doesn’t make you authentic; it makes you unhireable.

  3. Good sales come down to respect, timing, and tone—not endless rebuttals.

From internet gurus to billion-dollar founders, they ask the tough questions most podcasts avoid—like who’s pretending, who’s giving bad advice from their ivory tower, and who would actually survive starting over from zero. On this episode we talk about: The difference between a real entrepreneur and an online persona Why so much business advice only works if you’re already rich The influencers who couldn’t rebuild if they lost everything The fine line between helpful inspiration and harmful messaging How flashy “success stories” twist the meaning of ethics and authenticity Top 3 Takeaways Many creators give advice that sounds profound—but only makes sense once you’ve already made your millions. Real entrepreneurs lead with integrity and consistency. Their offline life should match their online brand. Before acting on anyone’s advice, ask yourself: “Does this apply to my current reality?” Context matters more than charisma.

]]> 1749 CO-HOST: Make Money by Learning from the Masters: Breaking Down the Business Influencer Mount Rushmore In this episode, Travis and Eric dive deep into the minds of today’s top business influencers and creators — Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex Hormozi, Naval Ravikant, and Sharran Srivatsaa. Eric shares his take on what makes each one powerful, influential, and sometimes… a little overrated. With humor, hot takes, and honest reflection, this episode uncovers the truth behind influencer hype and what actually creates long-term business success. On this episode we talk about: Which business influencers truly earn their hype Why copying creators like Alex Hormozi misses the real point The underrated genius of Sharran Srivatsaa How context matters when following Gary Vee’s advice The psychology behind imitation, credibility, and influence Top 3 Takeaways Imitating someone’s style—like Alex Hormozi’s yellow-text captions—won’t make you successful. Imitate their work ethic and strategy instead. Gary Vee’s “hustle” mindset only works if you understand the deeper message of self-awareness and finding what you love. True influence doesn’t come from virality. It comes from credibility, consistent value, and playing the long game. Notable Quotes “Copying someone’s font or video format doesn’t build authority—it’s the thousand hours of mastery behind it that matter.” “It’s dangerous to take any advice out of context, especially if you haven’t done the real work behind the scenes.” “When Alex Hormozi came on the scene, it wasn’t luck.

]]> 1820 CO-HOST: Make Money by Learning from the Mount Rushmore of Business Influencers In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and Eric have a fun, insightful conversation about their personal “Mount Rushmore” of business influencers and how those voices have shaped the way they think about work, money, and success. From early inspirations like Gary Vaynerchuk to deep thinkers like Naval Ravikant, plus polarizing giants like Grant Cardone, they unpack what these leaders get right, what people copy wrong, and which ideas are actually worth modeling in your own life. On this episode we talk about: Why Gary V is still a no-brainer top spot on Travis’s business influencer Mount Rushmore How Naval Ravikant blends real-world success with philosopher-level clarity The difference between thinkers (like Adam Grant) and doers (like operators and founders) Why people misunderstand Alex Hormozi and Grant Cardone—and what they actually do well How Travis and Eric each define their own Mount Rushmore of business and productivity mentors Top 3 Takeaways The best influences are a mix of operators and thinkers—people who’ve actually built businesses and can clearly explain how they did it. Copying someone’s routines, style, or “persona” rarely works; the real leverage comes from adopting their principles, not their aesthetics. You should build your own Mount Rushmore based on what truly shifts your behavior and mindset, not on who is the most popular or least controversial. Notable Quotes “You’re looking in the 20% of their productivity for your 80%, and that’s not where the real results come from.” “You can order Chipotle all you want, but it’s not going to make you Alex Hormozi.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it’s easier to solve the rest when you’ve got money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Together, they react to viral clips from well-known sales coach Andy Elliott—an infamous personality whose aggressive methods, animated delivery, and controversial reputation make him one of the most polarizing figures in modern sales culture. On this episode we talk about: The fine line between confidence and cringe in sales training videos Why aggression and fake enthusiasm rarely work in real sales How “high empathy” and curiosity can instantly make you a better communicator The viral rise (and fall) of Andy Elliott and what that says about social media influence Practical, down-to-earth ways to handle objections and keep people talking Top 3 Takeaways The best salespeople don’t shout—they listen longer and ask better questions.

]]> 1839 CO-HOST: Make Money by Thinking like Tarantino On this episode, Travis and his producer Eric break down a powerful Quentin Tarantino clip about being “dream adjacent” and how that concept applies to chasing your own ambitions. Through Tarantino’s story of leaving a comfortable-but-stagnant video store job and moving closer to Hollywood, Travis unpacks what it really takes to stop circling your dream and start living it. The conversation hits on environment, networking, brutally honest self-audits, and why changing your surroundings might be the most practical first step toward the life you actually want. On this episode we talk about: What it means to be “dream adjacent” instead of truly living your dream How Tarantino’s story shows the danger of staying in “good enough” environments Why your environment quietly shapes your future more than your intentions do The power of brutally honest self-reflection (the “Detest Fest”) How changing rooms, cities, and inputs can fast-track your growth Top 3 Takeaways Being “dream adjacent” feels comfortable, but it can quietly put your ambition to sleep if you stay there too long. Your environment will either reinforce your current identity or pull you toward the person you want to become—changing it is often the fastest lever you can pull. Radical honesty about where you are, paired with decisive action (moving, changing rooms, changing inputs), is what turns vague dreams into real progress. Notable Quotes “It’s not my dream what I’m doing, but it’s dream adjacent.” – Quentin Tarantino (clip discussed in the episode) “You can have any life you want, but you can’t have every life you want.” – Travis “Your outputs are directly influenced by your inputs, so if you can’t change your environment yet, change what you’re feeding your mind.” – Travis Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/traviscchappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

They also dig into how ideas spread today, the difference between real credibility and checkbox credentials, and why simple, boring actions still beat fancy labels when it comes to actually making money. On this episode we talk about: *  Whether TED and TEDx talks still matter for credibility in 2026*  Why not all “bestselling author” or “TEDx speaker” titles are created equal*  How great ideas rise above the noise regardless of the label on them*  Why people love to criticize helpful platforms instead of doing the work themselves*  When a TEDx talk or self-published book is actually worth doing for your brand Top 3 Takeaways 1.  There’s a massive difference between a TED talk and a TEDx talk—one is a global, highly curated stage, the other is much more accessible and variable in quality.2.  Labels like “TEDx speaker” or “bestselling author” can help, but only if the underlying work is excellent; the best ideas and books win because they’re good, not because of the stamp.3.  Time spent tearing down platforms that help millions is usually better spent creating something great yourself and letting the market decide its value.

]]> 1600 CO-HOST: Make Money by Ignoring Bad Advice (and Doing the Boring Work) On today's episode, Travis and Eric break down some of the most common “popular” pieces of advice in entrepreneurship and personal development—and why blindly following them can keep you broke and stuck. Through stories, examples, and a lot of banter, they unpack how to actually think about risk, focus, multiple income streams, and the balance between working smart and working hard in 2026’s economic reality. On this episode we talk about: *  Why “just quit your job and follow your dreams” can be both powerful and dangerous depending on your life situation*  The truth about “multiple streams of income” and why you should usually master one thing first*  Why “work smarter, not harder” is incomplete—and how combining both is where real money is made*  How simple, boring advice (like calorie deficits and cold calls) still beats sexy hacks and magic bullets*  Why there is never just “one way” to succeed, despite what many gurus preach from the stage Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Pursuing your dream is worth it—but timing, responsibilities, and cash flow matter; the path looks very different at 21 with no obligations than at 44 with a family and a mortgage.2.  Most wealthy people have multiple income streams, but they usually earn that diversification by going all-in on one vehicle first, then expanding within their lane.3.  Success is almost always a mix of working smart and hard, consistently doing the unsexy, high-ROI activities (like cold calling or outreach) that everyone else avoids.

On this episode we talk about: Why focusing on who you become matters more than the income target The #1 skill you need to juggle multiple income streams: focus The myth that you need formal qualifications to make more money Travis’s top 5 underrated skills every entrepreneur should master Why he believes in-person events and connection are about to make a big comeback How starting a podcast can be the ultimate relationship and income-building tool Top 3 Takeaways Identity beats income goals. Instead of obsessing over a dollar amount, design the kind of person who can consistently earn that level of income—and build the habits that match. Focus is a superpower. Most wealthy people didn’t start with seven income streams; they mastered one thing deeply before diversifying. Relationships scale revenue. Strong business friendships, often built through platforms like a podcast, open doors and opportunities that no cold outreach or random networking event can match. Notable Quotes “Stop asking, ‘How do I make a million dollars?’ and start asking, ‘Who do I need to become to be the person who makes a million dollars?’” “The average millionaire might have seven income streams—but they didn’t start with seven.” “You don’t need more qualifications; you need to be the person who’s willing to take the first step.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/traviscchappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://www.travischappell.com Podcast: “Travis Makes Money” on all major platforms Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing on 15 years inside top newsrooms, she coaches Fortune 500 CEOs to transform fear into confident communication that protects productivity, investor trust, and market value, and she is also the author of the children’s book Just Keep Going, designed to teach kids resilience and courage from an early age. On this episode we talk about: How fear quietly sabotages CEOs, communication, and company performance Why Lynn wrote Just Keep Going as a children’s book inspired by her work with executives A simple framework for assessing risk with best and worst-case scenarios The difference between real confidence and arrogance in leadership How to prepare for high-stakes communication moments without sounding scripted Why presence, energy, and human connection are irreplaceable in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways Fear is a signal, not a stop sign. The most successful leaders learn to “metabolize” fear, assess risk clearly, and move forward with smart, courageous decisions instead of staying stuck in their comfort zone. Preparation is the fastest path to confidence. When you prepare the right way—refining your message, practicing soundbites, and taming your inner critic—you show up calmer, clearer, and far more influential. Your communication and presence are your new competitive edge. As automation and AI expand, the leaders who win will be those who communicate with clarity, empathy, and energy that other humans actually want to follow.

]]> 1810 CO-HOST: Make Money with AI: Lessons from Interviewing ChatGPT In this unique episode, Travis flips the script and “interviews” an AI financial expert—ChatGPT—about making money in 2026, diversification, live social shopping, and building a personal brand. Alongside in-studio producer Eric, Travis uses the conversation to highlight what AI gets right, where it still falls short, and how listeners can practically use these tools without losing their own voice or strategy. The result is a fun, meta, and surprisingly insightful look at the future of money-making in an AI-powered world. On this episode we talk about: Why the “best” financial advice in 2026 is turning what you already know into multiple income streams The right order of operations: master one core offer before you diversify Emerging money-making trends: niche communities, AI-powered tools, and micro-education How to “sell shovels in the gold rush” of AI instead of chasing every new shiny use case What live social shopping is and why big voices (like Gary Vee) are obsessed with it How to make money with live shopping even if you don’t have your own products Platforms enabling live shopping (including Amazon Live) and how they work at a basic level Simple, kid-level breakdown of using Amazon’s fulfillment plus live streams to sell products How to build trust from scratch so people will actually buy from your lives and content Recommended voices to follow for making money and building a personal brand How Travis can double down on his unique stance against toxic hustle culture The limits of AI as a podcast guest—what it’s great at and where it still feels vague and “too nice” Top 3 Takeaways Multiple income streams only work if they’re built on a strong, proven core offer—focus, then diversify. AI is a massive opportunity not just to “use,” but to build tools, training, and services that help others use it better. The next wave of making money combines authenticity, community, and live interactive selling on platforms people already use. Notable Quotes “Before you diversify, you really do need a strong core…get that one income stream really solid and then you can add on and diversify from there.” “If AI is the gold rush, the real opportunity is being the one selling the shovels—tools, platforms, and education that help others use AI effectively.” “Go bold without being divisive—challenge hustle culture, put lifestyle design and relationships first, and show people there’s another way to win.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Coaching & podcast help: https://travischappell.com/coaching  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1678 CO-HOST: Make Money by Mastering the Right Skills In this episode, Travis and Eric, his producer, take the mic to explore the skills that actually move the needle when it comes to making more money and keeping it. Blending sharp humor, AI-generated “comedy,” and real-world experience from his days in door-to-door sales, Travis breaks down why skills like sales, discipline, and learning itself matter far more than traditional schooling when it comes to building wealth. On this episode we talk about: *   Why AI still can’t beat real human humor (yet) when it comes to money jokes*   The number one money-making skill Travis credits for changing his life: sales*   How discipline works like a muscle and why most people misunderstand it*   Why trying to change “everything at once” almost always fails*   The crucial meta-skill schools don’t teach: how to actually learn Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Sales is one of the highest-leverage skills you can learn because it increases your confidence to take financial risks and bounce back if things don’t work out.2.  Discipline is not a personality trait; it is a skill built over time through habits and systems that reduce how much “willpower” you need each day.3.  The most important skill missing from traditional education is the skill of learning itself—knowing how to acquire, process, and apply new information quickly. Notable Quotes *   “Sales is the thing that enables you to have more confidence to take more risks—which is also something that can make you good money.”*   “Discipline is a skill.

1.  Sales is one of the highest-leverage skills you can learn because it increases your confidence to take financial risks and bounce back if things don’t work out.
2.  Discipline is not a personality trait; it is a skill built over time through habits and systems that reduce how much “willpower” you need each day.
3.  The most important skill missing from traditional education is the skill of learning itself—knowing how to acquire, process, and apply new information quickly.

Notable Quotes

*   “Sales is the thing that enables you to have more confidence to take more risks—which is also something that can make you good money.”
*   “Discipline is a skill. People think some are just ‘super disciplined,’ but they’ve simply worked on that skill long enough to install better habits.”
*   “School is great at giving you information, but it’s terrible at teaching you how to actually learn.”

]]> 1235 INTERVIEW: Make Money by Sustaining Growth Through Innovation | Lorraine Marchand This week, Travis sits down with Lorraine Marchand, acclaimed consultant, author, educator, and innovation leader. Lorraine has spent her career shaping how organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—approach problem solving and sustained growth. She’s co-author of No Fear, No Failure: Five Principles for Sustaining Growth Through Innovation and brings decades of experience from roles at Bristol Myers Squibb, IBM, and on advisory boards for Johnson & Johnson and Hewlett Packard. On this episode we talk about: How Lorraine’s father sparked her curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit at age 12 The invention of the “Sugar Cube” and her first lesson in innovation and royalties The difference between convergent and divergent problem solving Why fear of failure cripples innovation—and how to overcome it How Lorraine’s new book helps leaders build a culture that encourages experimentation Top 3 Takeaways Curiosity and problem solving can be taught early—and they’re the foundation of building wealth and innovation. The biggest barrier to innovation isn’t lack of ideas; it’s fear of failure and organizational rigidity. Success comes from reframing failure as learning, taking consistent risks, and staying commercially focused on solving real customer problems. Notable Quotes “Parents have a powerful role in cultivating curiosity and developing future innovators—don’t take it lightly.” “The only problems worth solving are the ones customers will pay you to fix.” “Fear of failure stops innovation before it starts.

]]> 1570 CO-HOST: Make Money by Letting Wealth Amplify Your Best Self In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down one of society’s most enduring myths — that rich people are inherently “bad.” Drawing from his personal experiences interviewing and interacting with some of the wealthiest individuals in the world, Travis explores how wealth amplifies who we already are, rather than changes us. This episode turns humor, perspective, and real-world insight into an honest look at what it really means to be rich — in money and in mindset. On this episode we talk about: *   Why people often assume the wealthy are corrupt or unethical*   How money amplifies character rather than defining it*   The portrayal of rich people in Hollywood and popular media*   Why “new money” behavior differs from generational or extreme wealth*   The richest guest ever to appear on Travis Makes Money—and what he learned from him Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Money doesn’t determine morality—it simply magnifies who you already are.2.  Hollywood often portrays the wealthy as villains because it sells, not because it reflects reality.3.  True wealth reveals itself through generosity, humility, and discipline, not flashiness or status symbols.

]]> 1293 INTERVIEW: Make Money Without Burning Out- Less Stress, More Joy | Amy Leneker Amy Leneker is a former C-suite executive turned leadership advisor, “recovering workaholic,” and author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead & Live with Less Stress & More Joy, where she teaches leaders and teams how to break the cycle of burnout and overwhelm. She has trained over 100,000 leaders, including those at Fortune 100 companies, and now serves as a Joy Strategist helping organizations thrive with less stress and more energy. On this episode we talk about: Amy’s two burnout experiences and how her body forced her to stop The belief that “stress is the price of success” and why it’s wrong Eustress vs. distress and how to tell which one you’re in The “stress ruler” tool and how leaders can use it with their teams The Stockdale Paradox, toxic positivity, and bringing real joy back into work Top 3 Takeaways Stress is inevitable, but burnout is not—most high achievers are trapped in the story that stress is the price of success, when in reality chronic distress quietly kills performance and joy. You can and should use “good stress” (eustress) as fuel for growth while actively monitoring when it tips into “bad stress” (distress) that drains energy, health, and relationships. Simple practices—like rating your stress on a 0–10 “stress ruler,” defining clear seasons of hard pushes, and intentionally weaving joy into your normal days—create sustainable success instead of cycles of crash and recover. Notable Quotes “Stress isn’t the price of success—it’s the thief that steals it.” “My body shut down before my brain was willing to admit I was burned out.” “Joy isn’t something you schedule once a quarter; it’s something you protect and practice in the middle of real life.” Connect with Amy Leneker: Find out more about her book here: https://www.amyleneker.com/book LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyleneker Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/amy_leneker Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amy.leneker Other: https://www.amyleneker.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

]]> 1799 Make Money with Alternative Assets Like Fine Art Clare Baukham is a global wealth architect, alternative investment curator, and creator of the Billionaire Women platform who helps clients go beyond traditional portfolios into higher-upside asset classes like blue-chip art. She rose as an award-winning financial advisor in Canada before expanding into media as an executive producer on TV series about wealth, power, and business, and eventually built her own firm around the idea that wealth is identity, structure, and seduction. On this episode we talk about: How Clare went from a family machine shop to floral design, acting, professional options trading, and finally top-tier wealth planning. What she learned shadowing one of Canada’s leading advisors and later a billionaire mentor—then why she left the traditional bank-controlled model. Why she believes budgeting alone won’t make you rich, and why most households need “alpha” (high-upside) bets alongside safer “beta” investments. The logic behind using fine art as an asset class, including examples of paintings appreciating from a few million to tens of millions of dollars. How her team acquires, stores, and plans to tour a curated collection, while allowing investors to buy fractional ownership instead of full pieces. Top 3 Takeaways You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to build wealth. Attach yourself to people who already have the results you want, copy their playbook, and then adapt it to a vehicle you actually care about. High-net-worth investors think in “alpha” and “beta,” not just savings accounts. A small, risk-tolerant slice of your portfolio in alternative assets can meaningfully accelerate your path to freedom. Alternative assets can be both financial and lifestyle plays. For the right investor, owning a fraction of museum-worthy art (instead of more index funds) is as much about story and identity as returns. Notable Quotes “You’re their trophy—they want you to win so they can say, ‘Look what I can do.’” “Most advisors white-knuckle market crashes. I wanted clients positioned to want the crash because everything’s on sale.” “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

]]> 1711 no Make Money by Avoiding Bad Takes In this episode, Travis is joined in the studio by his producer Eric for a candid and funny conversation about bad takes, wrong predictions, and the life lessons learned the hard way. Together, they break down the importance of adapting your views, learning in public, and staying self-aware as a creator and entrepreneur. From podcasting vs. YouTube debates to overthinking sales and chasing the wrong kind of success, this one’s packed with real talk and self-reflection. On this episode we talk about: How Travis’s early anti-YouTube stance held him back and what he’s doing about it now. Why 40% of podcast listeners now prefer video, and what that means for creators. The shift from “never take advice from someone you wouldn’t trade places with” to a more nuanced approach to mentorship. The danger of overthinking—and why being too smart can actually hurt your ability to sell. How people confuse “inspiration” with “imitation” when following others’ success paths. Top 3 Takeaways Video has become inseparable from audio—if you’re not publishing your podcast on YouTube, you’re missing half your audience. You can’t separate success in one area from the habits that shape an entire life—find role models whose full lifestyles you’d actually want to live. Intelligence doesn’t equal impact: action and consistency outwork smarts almost every time. Notable Quotes “If you’re not putting your podcast on YouTube, you’re missing out on a huge audience.” “Pick fewer people to listen to—ones who live the kind of full life you actually want.” “You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room; you just need to do the work the smart people overthink.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is presented by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built by agencies, for agencies. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals — all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis.

  1. Video has become inseparable from audio—if you’re not publishing your podcast on YouTube, you’re missing half your audience.

  2. You can’t separate success in one area from the habits that shape an entire life—find role models whose full lifestyles you’d actually want to live.

  3. Intelligence doesn’t equal impact: action and consistency outwork smarts almost every time.

Notable Quotes

  • “If you’re not putting your podcast on YouTube, you’re missing out on a huge audience.”

  • “Pick fewer people to listen to—ones who live the kind of full life you actually want.”

  • “You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room; you just need to do the work the smart people overthink.”

]]> 1631 no Make Money by Focusing on What Actually Matters (Not Optics) In this episode, Travis and his producer use everything from Avatar and A24 movies to office space and social media trends to explore a simple question: what actually matters for making more money—and what’s just ego and aesthetics? They break down titles, office space, optics, and “being first” versus being consistent, and show where each one really fits in a practical business strategy.​ On this episode we talk about: Why job titles (“CEO,” “founder,” etc.) rarely matter to customers—and how they’re often used in corporate settings to extract more work without more pay.​ How Travis changed his mind on office space, and why in‑person teams can still beat fully remote setups for culture, communication, and output.​ The difference between healthy brand perception (optics that match reality) and fake positioning that can backfire when you can’t deliver.​ Whether you really need to be “first” in a new trend, space, or platform—or if you’re better off being second and more consistent.​ Why copying every new “expert” pivot (Web3, NFTs, AI, etc.) is usually worse than staying in one lane and compounding your skills over time.​ Top 3 Takeaways Titles are mostly internal theater. Clients care about results, not whether you call yourself founder, CEO, or “bull”; focus on competence and clarity, not status.​ Optics matter—but only if they’re true. Brand, image, and perception can open doors, but if they don’t match your real capabilities, they create refunds, resentment, and reputation damage.​ Consistency beats trend chasing. You don’t need to be first to a new platform or idea to win; you need to be good, reliable, and around long enough for your work to compound.​ Notable Quotes “You can’t escape perception; brand is just what people think when they hear your name.”​ “If people perceive you as great and you’re not, that’s bad for business. If you are great and nobody perceives it, that’s bad for business too.”​ “Most people would have made more money sticking with one skill for ten years than ‘reinventing’ themselves every eighteen months.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1632 no Make Money by Managing Stressful Life Changes No One Warns You About Travis and producer Eric dig into a surprisingly relatable mix of topics: changing friendships, unexpected stress in adulthood, and yes, bringing earplugs to the movie theater without feeling like a complete boomer. Through humor and a little friendly roasting, they unpack what no one really warns you about when it comes to growing up, building a business, and trying to stay healthy in the process.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Eric is (apparently) the first Gen Z moviegoer planning to wear earplugs to every screening.​ How relationships—friends, collaborators, even co‑workers—naturally change over time as your life, geography, and goals evolve.​ The difference between avoiding stress and choosing the right kind of stress for the life you actually want.​ Why time management becomes one of the hardest—and most important—skills of adult life.​ How to intentionally keep connections alive with simple habits like periodic check‑in texts and DMs.​ Top 3 Takeaways Stress is inevitable—so pick your stress. Whether it’s building a business, raising kids, or staying “comfortable” and broke, every path has stress.

Travis reflects on his early “Build Your Network” days and how he’s evolved past the outdated idea of “just showing up” to events with a business card and a smile. Now, his philosophy is about earning credibility first — because real relationships are built on competence, not empty confidence. On this episode we talk about: Why the phrase “networking” has gotten such a bad reputation. How Travis learned that “knowing a lot of people” doesn’t mean having influence or opportunity. Why the best-connected people are both competent and confident. The difference between productive relationship-building and “conference junkie” habits. Sharon Srivatsa’s reminder that “your network isn’t who you know — it’s who knows you can deliver.” Top 3 Takeaways Networking without value is noise. Focus first on learning, building skill, and doing great work — credibility comes from results. Competence creates confidence. Too many people try to project success before they’ve earned it, and it backfires.

]]> 1000 no Make Money by Understanding Why Democracy Needs the Rich | John O. McGinnis John O. McGinnis is the George C. Dix Professor of Constitutional Law at Northwestern University and one of the leading legal minds examining how wealth, influence, and democracy intersect in modern America. In this episode, he unpacks the core argument from his forthcoming book, Why Democracy Needs the Rich—that wealthy entrepreneurs and investors don’t just drive economic growth, but also counterbalance left-leaning professional influencers and fund vital cultural, civic, and philanthropic institutions. The conversation dives into envy, academia, “professional influencers,” and why attempts to sideline the rich could unintentionally damage pluralism, innovation, and freedom. On this episode we talk about: Why critics like Bernie Sanders and big-city mayors argue that the rich are a problem for democracy—and how John dismantles that claim. How founders typically capture only a tiny fraction of the total value they create, and why innovations like Amazon massively increase “consumer surplus” for everyday people. The concept of “professional influencers” (academics, media, entertainers, bureaucrats), why they lean heavily left, and how wealthy individuals provide ideological and practical counterbalance. Historical and modern examples of the rich funding abolition, civil rights, environmental causes, education reform, museums, and other public goods that government is slow or incapable of providing. Why classical political thinkers feared static oligarchies, and how today’s dynamic, constantly changing class of entrepreneurs is almost the opposite of that. The data and reality behind wealth creation—why most millionaires are first-generation—and what that says about opportunity and technological change. How resentment, envy, and “othering” the rich mirror older patterns of scapegoating minority groups, and why that’s dangerous for a free society. Whether the wealthy are drifting right politically in response to regulation, energy policy, and growing hostility from the activist left. Practical thought experiments to challenge “eat the rich” rhetoric, including how much our daily lives resemble those of historical elites thanks to modern tech and markets. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  The rich are not a monolithic right‑wing bloc; they are a diverse, constantly changing group whose entrepreneurship and philanthropy expand opportunity, fund public goods, and increase real living standards.2.  Efforts to mute or punish the rich don’t create a level playing field—they simply hand even more power to already-dominant professional influencers in academia, media, entertainment, and bureaucracy.3.  Envy-driven politics may feel emotionally satisfying, but they ignore how much ordinary people benefit from innovation, consumer surplus, and the pluralism that wealthy funders help sustain in a free society. Notable Quotes   “Founders often only capture one or two percent of the value they create—the rest goes to consumers in the form of better, cheaper, more abundant goods and services.”   “If you push the rich out of the public square, you don’t get ‘pure democracy’—you get even more power for academics, media, and bureaucrats who already lean heavily to one side.”   “Envy is a thief of joy; before you condemn the rich, it’s worth asking how much of your everyday life was made possible by the very people you claim to hate.” Purchase John O.

]]> 1871 no Make Money by Learning to Say No (So You Don’t Go Broke Saying Yes) In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric use a ridiculous on‑air nicotine experiment and some Kroger pickle‑jar banter to launch into a serious conversation about the power of saying no with your money.

From friends asking to “spot me, bro” to sketchy investments, unpaid collabs, lifestyle upgrades, and sponsors that don’t feel right, they walk through real scenarios where saying yes can quietly wreck your finances—or your brand—if you’re not intentional.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • Eric nearly puking on mic after trying a 6mg mojito ZYN, why “no” would have been the better choice, and how that sets up the theme of the episode.​

  • How Travis handles friends and family asking for money—why he almost always says no to “investment” pitches now, and how he decides when helping actually becomes enabling.​

  • When to say yes (and when to stop) with unpaid collaborations, speaking gigs, and local partnerships—plus the story of how saying yes to a low‑ROI volleyball promo still led to a profitable tournament relationship for AuraVela.​

  • Lifestyle spending boundaries: cars, first‑class flights, subscriptions, Klarna‑financed Chipotle, and how Travis finally justified buying a genuinely nice car after years of driving beaters.​

  • The importance of asking “Does this matter to me—or just to other people?” before dropping money on status symbols, upgrades, or brand‑driven purchases.​

  • Eric’s recent decision to drop a meaningful podcast sponsor after loyal, long‑time listeners said it felt off, and why he chose long‑term trust over short‑term cash.​

  • The hidden risks of programmatic ads (like political spots or government agencies slipping in) and how both hosts have had to tighten ad category filters to protect their brands.​

  • Saying no to shady money: Travis turning down a $3,000 crypto‑related interview offer that required an NDA and looked like reputation rehab for a founder with bad press.​

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Not every “opportunity” is for you. Saying no to friends’ investments, high‑risk plays, or repeated bailouts protects your own financial runway and keeps you from funding other people’s bad patterns.​

  2. Your brand is worth more than a short‑term check. Dropping a sponsor or declining a stage when it feels misaligned can cost money now but preserves audience trust that’s worth far more over a decade.​

  3. Buy for your life, not their approval. Big purchases and lifestyle upgrades should be driven by your values, convenience, and experiences—not by keeping up with people you don’t even like.​

Notable Quotes

  • “For investments right now it’s basically a no—if I don’t have true ‘play money,’ I’d rather put it in something more certain than somebody else’s ‘sure thing.’”​

  • “If you’re asking me for help the fifth time, at some point I’m not helping—you’re just making bad decisions and I’m funding them.”​

  • “You can have the life you want now and later, but only if you stop buying stuff just to impress people and start asking if it actually matters to you.”​​

A proud first‑generation Mexican American from San Diego, she went from growing up in a two‑bedroom apartment with a family of six and constant evictions to becoming a record‑breaking real estate producer in multiple markets and scaling a multi‑million‑dollar company as MVP. In this episode, she shares how her “more mindset” transformed fear and survival mode into consistent high performance—and how anyone can apply the same mental shifts to sell more, earn more, and live more fully.​ On this episode we talk about: Diana’s childhood in a struggling entrepreneurial household, moving every 18 months in San Diego and inheriting limiting beliefs about money, struggle, and what was “normal.”​ How becoming a single mom in her 20s pushed her into real estate with a survival‑mode mindset—and why fear of her kids repeating her story initially drove her success.​ Going from PetSmart corporate HR to rookie real estate agent, breaking ceilings and 10x‑ing her income to hit six figures in under 12 months (a highly atypical first‑year result in real estate).​ Rebuilding from scratch in Scottsdale and later Connecticut, door‑knocking luxury neighborhoods, cold‑calling for‑sale‑by‑owners, and proving you don’t need an existing network to win in a new market.​ How blocking “power hours,” tracking appointments, and focusing on income‑producing activities beat being “busy” at the office all day.​ Why strategy alone isn’t enough if you secretly don’t believe you’re the kind of person who can succeed—and how The More Mindset offers neuroscience‑backed tools to rewire those internal stories.​ Diana’s telemarketing origins at 16½, becoming top producer booking copier appointments, leading a team of older reps, and paying her family’s electric bill with her first big paycheck.​ Common cold‑calling mistakes—trying to sound “salesy,” apologizing for calling, or believing you’re a bother—and how to reframe calls as helping people instead of harassing them.​ Why belief and authenticity in sales matter more than having the “perfect” script, and how confidence plus genuine value consistently outperform low‑confidence reps with great products.​ Top 3 Takeaways Your past doesn’t cap your potential. Diana carried inherited beliefs from a childhood of evictions and scarcity, but by obsessively studying why some people succeed while others struggle, she rewired her mindset and built a multiple‑market real estate career.​ Discipline beats busyness. Time‑blocking prospecting, door‑knocking high‑end neighborhoods, and running focused “power hours” of cold calls produced six‑figure results far faster than simply “being at the office” all day.​ Sales starts in your head, not your script. If you believe you’re a bother or that success is “for other people,” you’ll sabotage proven strategies; when you see yourself as someone who helps others and truly believes in the offer, confidence and results follow.​ Notable Quotes “It wasn’t about doing more.

]]> 1506 no Make Money Without Neglecting Your Kids In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric get brutally honest about parenting, legacy, and work. Through a mix of serious reflection and completely derailed knock‑knock jokes, Travis breaks down how becoming a dad fundamentally changed his ambition, his calendar, and the way he evaluates every opportunity. The conversation hits on the myth of “work–life balance,” the reality of sacrifice, and how to choose a mission that’s actually worth time away from your kids. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis wants the “superhero dad” his kids see today to be as close as possible to the real man they discover when the veil eventually lifts. How having kids forced him to interrogate his goals and ask whether the things he’s chasing are still worth the time they take away from family. Why work–life “balance” is a myth, and how constantly chasing it can create anxiety, guilt, and a inability to be present anywhere. The importance of living in the present instead of only in future fantasies, and how that shift affects both parenting and entrepreneurship. When it makes sense to bring your kids into your business world—events, trips, meetings—and how that exposure can shape who influences them later. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Legacy is less about money and more about minimizing the gap between the idealized “superhero parent” your kids see and the flawed human they eventually meet.2.  Every “yes” to a business opportunity is a “no” to time with your kids, so your mission has to be compelling enough to justify that trade—random hustle isn’t good enough.3.  Balance is largely a myth; the more practical goal is to be fully present where you are—at work or with family—instead of mentally living in the past or future. Notable Quotes   “Whenever I say yes to an opportunity, I’m saying no to time with my kids—so it better be a hell yes.”   “If you try to be ultimate super‑dad and ultimate super‑entrepreneur at the same time, you’re just going to constantly feel like you’re dropping the ball.”   “The past and the future don’t exist—the present is all we have, and I was spending most of mine somewhere else.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1588 no Make Money by Building Stronger Trust | Brad Beeler Brad Beeler is a retired U.S. Secret Service agent who conducted more criminal polygraph examinations than anyone else in the agency’s history, interviewing thousands of suspects in homicide, national security, and child exploitation cases. He now trains federal investigators, intelligence officers, and corporate teams on advanced interviewing, influence, and deception detection, helping organizations eliminate costly communication failures, uncover lies earlier, and build stronger trust. His upcoming book, Tell Me Everything, translates high-stakes interrogation lessons into practical tools for leaders, sales teams, and entrepreneurs who need the truth to make better decisions and more money. On this episode we talk about: How Brad went from picking up trash at a softball field to interviewing inmates in a St. Louis jail, and why “tactical curiosity” about people’s lives became his most profitable skill in law enforcement and business. What he learned from thousands of criminal interviews about why people really do what they do—and how that maps directly to understanding buyer motivation in sales. The reality of polygraph exams: what they can and can’t do, why they’re best seen as an investigative tool (not courtroom magic), and how “countermeasures” almost always backfire. Simple, field-tested techniques for lowering anxiety, building trust quickly, and spotting red flags in yes/no answers during high-stakes conversations. Why the shift to text and AI-driven communication is eroding crucial context, and how to protect the “human signal” in a world that wants everything faster and more automated. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  The best interviewers and salespeople are “tactically curious”—they let other people educate them, especially about leisure, habits, and backstory, because that’s where trust, dopamine, and real motivation live.2.  Polygraph isn’t a magic truth machine, but used in the right environment, with the right prep and questions, it can dramatically improve accuracy over human gut feel, which hovers barely above a coin flip.3.  In business, just like in criminal work, you win more often when you judge the pattern (past behavior) rather than the persona, and when your questions are precise, calm, and anchored in genuine respect. Notable Quotes   “We were basically selling jail—I was selling something people didn’t want to buy, so I had to figure out how to get them to like, trust, and respect me first.”   “Humans are really good at lying because it’s a social lubricant and really bad at detecting lies—we’re right only about 54 percent of the time.”   “A good interview is like a good podcast: you prep hard, you lower anxiety, you let them talk 80 percent of the time, and you only step in to steer—not to steal—the conversation.” Connect with Brad Beeler:   Website: https://bradleybeeler.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Brad Beeler is a retired U.S. Secret Service agent who conducted more criminal polygraph examinations than anyone else in the agency’s history, interviewing thousands of suspects in homicide, national security, and child exploitation cases. He now trains federal investigators, intelligence officers, and corporate teams on advanced interviewing, influence, and deception detection, helping organizations eliminate costly communication failures, uncover lies earlier, and build stronger trust. His upcoming book, Tell Me Everything, translates high-stakes interrogation lessons into practical tools for leaders, sales teams, and entrepreneurs who need the truth to make better decisions and more money.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How Brad went from picking up trash at a softball field to interviewing inmates in a St. Louis jail, and why “tactical curiosity” about people’s lives became his most profitable skill in law enforcement and business.

  • What he learned from thousands of criminal interviews about why people really do what they do—and how that maps directly to understanding buyer motivation in sales.

  • The reality of polygraph exams: what they can and can’t do, why they’re best seen as an investigative tool (not courtroom magic), and how “countermeasures” almost always backfire.

  • Simple, field-tested techniques for lowering anxiety, building trust quickly, and spotting red flags in yes/no answers during high-stakes conversations.

  • Why the shift to text and AI-driven communication is eroding crucial context, and how to protect the “human signal” in a world that wants everything faster and more automated.

Top 3 Takeaways

1.  The best interviewers and salespeople are “tactically curious”—they let other people educate them, especially about leisure, habits, and backstory, because that’s where trust, dopamine, and real motivation live.
2.  Polygraph isn’t a magic truth machine, but used in the right environment, with the right prep and questions, it can dramatically improve accuracy over human gut feel, which hovers barely above a coin flip.
3.  In business, just like in criminal work, you win more often when you judge the pattern (past behavior) rather than the persona, and when your questions are precise, calm, and anchored in genuine respect.

  •   “We were basically selling jail—I was selling something people didn’t want to buy, so I had to figure out how to get them to like, trust, and respect me first.”

  •   “Humans are really good at lying because it’s a social lubricant and really bad at detecting lies—we’re right only about 54 percent of the time.”

  •   “A good interview is like a good podcast: you prep hard, you lower anxiety, you let them talk 80 percent of the time, and you only step in to steer—not to steal—the conversation.”

Through humor, book talk, Star Trek references, and some uncomfortable math, they challenge listeners to rethink their timelines, their earning power, and the beliefs that are quietly keeping them stuck. *​​ On this episode we talk about: Naval Ravikant’s claim that “everyone can be rich” and the idea that money is today’s path to freedom that monks once found by renouncing everything.​​ Whether fitness and health should come before getting rich, and how discipline in the gym can make business success more attainable.​​ How to define what “rich” actually means for your life by modeling your ideal lifestyle instead of chasing a vague, giant number.​ A practical exercise using AI to calculate how much money you really need by certain ages—and why that often exposes a huge gap with your current plan.​ Why your 35–55 years are likely your peak earning window, and how urgency, education, and intentional skill-building determine whether you capitalize on it.​ Top 3 Takeaways 1.  “Everyone can be rich” is less about a magic guarantee and more about the combination of education, leverage, and belief that a lot more people could reach meaningful wealth than they currently assume.​​2.  Getting in shape is one of the fastest, most direct ways to prove to yourself that change is possible, build discipline, and create the energy and confidence you need to pursue bigger financial goals.​​3.  You probably underestimate how much money you’ll actually need to live your ideal life, which means you must either meaningfully change your expectations or meaningfully change your plan—sooner rather than later.​ Notable Quotes   "You don’t need to learn how to invest 22 dollars a month—you need to learn how to turn that into 2,200 or 22,000 a month, and then invest that."​   "Everything you want in life is on the other side of a question you’re not asking yourself."​   "From 35 to 55 is probably your peak earning window, and there’s likely a five-to-seven-year stretch where you’ll make more than in the previous twenty years—if you’re set up for it."​​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In addition to founding and exiting venture-backed companies, he’s written a book, coached thousands of professionals, and now leads Relatable, a personal CRM designed to help people deepen trusted relationships instead of just “monetizing contacts.” In this conversation, he unpacks how AI is blowing the doors off traditional software gatekeeping and what non-technical founders can realistically build in the next 30 days. On this episode we talk about: How AI has collapsed the barrier to building software—from needing a technical co-founder or expensive dev team to being able to spin up a working web app in a matter of hours. What non-technical founders should actually learn first (hint: product thinking and clear specs) instead of trying to become full-stack engineers. Which AI-powered tools can help you go from “idea in your head” to V1 MVP—covering product specs, code, hosting, and iteration. How to think about UX/UI in an AI world, including using real-world visuals and brand cues to guide your app’s look and feel. Where AI is taking the software and career landscape next, from solo-built seven–eight figure products to massive retraining opportunities as lower-level jobs get automated. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  You no longer need a technical co-founder to ship a real product; if you can clearly describe what you want and think like a product manager, AI can handle most of the coding and infrastructure for a basic business app.2.  The real “execution risk” has shifted from writing clean code to building the right thing, matching real user journeys, and finding distribution in an increasingly noisy, AI-generated world.3.  AI will both automate low-level work and open up huge opportunities in enablement—helping industries adopt AI, retraining displaced workers, and giving more people a viable path into software and entrepreneurship. Notable Quotes   "Even if the code is ‘throwaway,’ it costs you next to nothing now to have AI build a V1 while you sleep."   "Anyone can tell an AI to make a CRM; very few people can make a CRM informed by fifteen years of thinking deeply about relationships."   "As AI takes more tasks off your plate, the real question is whether you’ll use that freed-up time to invest in relationships or just scroll more content."

    ]]>     1780     Make Money as a “Middle Class” Creator (Without Going Full MrBeast) In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric break down what it really looks like to make money as a content creator when you’re not pulling MrBeast numbers or signing eight‑figure brand deals. Instead, they focus on the realistic—and highly achievable—lane of “middle class creators”: people earning $1,000–$5,000 per month from content as a side income (or lean full‑time if you keep expenses low). They also share real revenue numbers from Eric’s channel, plus examples of small brick‑and‑mortar businesses using short‑form content to turn marketing into a profit center instead of a pure expense. On this episode we talk about: Why most creators should aim for “middle class” money first instead of chasing MrBeast‑level outcomes How Eric built a niche show (Preacher Boys) into a $2.6k/month side income through ads, sponsors, and platform payouts The importance of loving your topic enough to talk about it for free for years How one Zoom interview episode on YouTube alone brought in over $1,500 in ad revenue Why you should spread income across YouTube, podcast ads, Facebook bonuses, sponsors, and Patreon Brick‑and‑mortar examples like the LED sign guy and the “pancake lady” turning simple videos into customers and creator checks Why every post is a “lottery ticket” for new opportunities, from documentaries to brand deals How business owners can get to the point where their marketing actually gets paid by platforms Top 3 Takeaways You don’t need millions of followers to make meaningful money; a focused niche, consistent publishing, and multiple small revenue streams can add up to a solid side income that may evolve into full time. Content creation is front‑loaded work and back‑loaded payoff—expect years of low or no pay before the inflection point where old episodes start earning hundreds or thousands of dollars each. If you own a business, learning to create simple, personality‑driven content can turn your advertising from a cost center into a profit center—platforms and sponsors can effectively subsidize your marketing. Notable Quotes “If you’re not excited about the first dollar you made, you’re not going to be excited about the first thousand.” “Hourly, I used to be making maybe a dollar an hour—now a single Zoom interview can bring in over $1,500 on YouTube alone.” “Historically, every form of advertising cost you money; now your marketing can actually pay you." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

She went from accidentally making $10,000 trading forex during the 2008 crash to working on Wall Street, losing everything on one bad trade, and ultimately building a multi‑income‑stream business teaching people how to invest wisely without treating the markets like a casino. In this episode, she breaks down her “triple compounding” framework and why most traders and would‑be investors are skipping the most important step: investing in themselves first. On this episode we talk about: How Kiana accidentally made $10,000 during the 2008 market crash while studying electrical engineering in Japan Why she left forex trading after one over‑leveraged trade wiped out years of profits The truth about retail forex, “copy trading,” and why most people lose money What “triple compounding” really means: you, your business/income, then external assets Why investing in skills, identity, and income comes before stocks, crypto, or any market How entrepreneurs making seven figures can still end up broke if they don’t compound correctly The trap of hoarding small nest eggs vs. using them to upgrade your earning potential Why saving $0.06 per gallon on gas matters less than learning a skill that adds $100k+ to your income Top 3 Takeaways The first and most important investment is you—your identity, skills, mindset, and financial literacy—because without that, you will misuse any strategy or asset class you touch. Triple compounding stacks three layers: invest in yourself, then in a controllable income engine (job or business), and only then in external assets you cannot control (stocks, crypto, real estate, etc.). If it took you years to save $10k, your problem is income, not portfolio allocation; focus on increasing your earning power before obsessing over whether to get 8% vs. 10% in the market. Notable Quotes “If this were truly an automatic 10–15% per month, why isn’t Warren Buffett doing it?” “You can’t make money you don’t have work for you—you have to raise your income first.” “It took eight years of compounding skills to become an ‘overnight success.’” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Triple compounding stacks three layers: invest in yourself, then in a controllable income engine (job or business), and only then in external assets you cannot control (stocks, crypto, real estate, etc.).

    ]]>     1956 no     Make Money by Moving Abroad Travis Chappell and his producer, Eric, react to a retired American couple who traded their old life in the US for a more affordable, higher-quality retirement in Malta. By downsizing their costs, leveraging rental income from their U.S. home, and tapping into cheaper healthcare and everyday expenses overseas, they’ve created a lifestyle they never could have afforded if they stayed put in the States. Their story is a real-world case study in using self-awareness and geography—not just income—to design a life you actually want. On this episode we talk about: How Mary and Kevin retired to Malta on Social Security and rental income Why your ideal life might be more about where you live than how much you earn The mindset shift from “big house and car” to “low overhead and freedom” Tradeoffs of retiring abroad: distance from family vs. more time and presence when you visit Countries where you can live comfortably for under $1,000 a month Why lifestyle bloat traps people in jobs they hate longer than necessary How to reverse-engineer your cost of living around the life you actually want Top 3 Takeaways You don’t have to become a billionaire to live well in retirement; you may just need to move somewhere your Social Security or modest income stretches a lot further. Success starts with self-awareness—getting brutally honest about what you really want (time, freedom, experiences) instead of defaulting to status symbols like big houses and luxury cars. Geographic arbitrage is real: by lowering housing, transportation, and healthcare costs abroad, you can often buy more free time, less stress, and more meaningful time with the people you love.

Using a viral GTA video that breaks down the “five best businesses to buy” in the game, they unpack why it’s so tempting to grind for fake money while feeling stuck financially—and where that logic breaks down if you’re unhappy with your real bank account. Along the way, they swap stories about ultra‑strict childhood rules on movies and games, why sleepovers now feel like a hard no as parents, and how leisure fits into a healthy, ambitious life.​ On this episode we talk about: A GTA V creator teaching “five businesses that will make you rich online” and how his million‑view content is actually an example of turning play into a real income stream.​ The difference between enjoying games as a hobby versus pouring five hours a day into them while complaining there’s “no opportunity” in real life.​ Childhood stories about not being allowed to watch certain movies or play certain games, calling parents from sleepovers, and the weird logic of which ratings were “okay” and which weren’t.​ How becoming parents has flipped their perspective: less concern about temporary tattoos and game ratings, more concern about letting kids sleep at other people’s houses at all.​ The rise of creators who build channels around nostalgic games, movie tie‑in titles, or walkthroughs—and how that can turn low‑effort fun into a monetized side project.​ Why modern games and social platforms are engineered to keep you in an endless loop, and how that “vortex” quietly delays people from ever taking real swings at their goals.​ The nuanced take: you don’t have to be “grinding 24/7,” but you also can’t expect big financial changes if every spare hour goes to escapism.​ A brief tangent into IP consolidation (Saudi money, Activision, Bond, DC, Lord of the Rings) and how massive ownership shifts change what shows, games, and stories get made.​ Top 3 Takeaways Hobbies are fine—until they clash with your goals. Playing GTA or Call of Duty isn’t a moral issue; the problem is when you’re miserable with your finances yet still spend all your free time in virtual worlds instead of building real skills and income.​ You either monetize the passion or own the trade‑off. The GTA creator in the clip turned his obsession into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers; if you don’t want to do that, that’s fine—but then you have to accept slower financial progress without blaming “lack of opportunity.”​ Most “successful people” aren’t gaming all day. High performers might still play, but usually after they’ve already put in serious work; expecting similar results while investing most of your energy into entertainment is a mismatch in inputs and outcomes.​ Notable Quotes “If you’re spending five hours a day playing video games and also complaining there’s no opportunity, you can’t be mad at the results you’re getting.”​ “That guy grinding GTA businesses is actually making real money—because he turned his gameplay into content, not just a way to escape his own life.”​ “Do whatever you want in your downtime, but don’t be shocked when the people who spend that same downtime learning and building get very different outcomes.”​​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1601 no     Make Money by Hustling Like Gary Vee In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric unpack what big brands like Starbucks and Target are getting wrong about culture, customer experience, and “forced friendliness.” Using Eric’s local Starbucks and Target’s “10–4 policy” as jumping-off points, they dig into how authenticity, sleep, and sustainable effort matter far more than corporate scripts or nonstop grind. Along the way, they break down Gary Vee’s “new” stance on sleep and hustle, plus how high performers actually use rest as a competitive advantage.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Eric’s favorite Starbucks went from feeling like “Cheers” to feeling scripted once corporate required baristas to write something on every cup.​ How genuine, voluntary gestures from employees turn into hollow “corporate bullshit” once they’re turned into a rule.​ Target’s 10–4 policy (smile within 10 feet, warm interaction within 4 feet) and why forcing friendliness can feel awkward for both customers and staff.​ The difference between real culture (people who like working there) and forced culture (mandated smiles, scripted greetings, required cup messages).​ Gary Vee’s clip about sleeping 7–10 hours, not going hard 24/7, and why that sounds like a reversal of his early “hustle” content.​ How high performers reconcile hustle with rest: being insanely productive when awake while protecting sleep so they can sustain output for decades.​ Insights from Travis’s interview with The Sleep Doctor, including Steve Aoki’s custom sleep schedule built around a 1 a.m. start time.​ Why even entertainers and entrepreneurs with “wild” schedules need intentional sleep architecture to keep going into their late 40s and beyond.​ The weirdness of people falling asleep to business podcasts, and what it says about how hard it is for entrepreneurs to mentally clock out.​ Top 3 Takeaways Authentic culture can’t be scripted. If you take something organic—like baristas writing personal notes—and turn it into a corporate mandate, you strip away the sincerity that made it powerful in the first place.​ Forced friendliness doesn’t fix deeper problems. Policies like Target’s 10–4 may create momentary eye contact, but they can’t compensate for broken systems, low morale, or a bad customer experience.​ Sustainable success requires real rest. Hustle still matters, but the people who win long term (including Gary Vee and Steve Aoki) are the ones who treat sleep as a performance tool, not a luxury.​ Notable Quotes “There’s a difference between culture and forced culture—once you make it a rule, you kill the very thing that made it special.”​ “Don’t put ‘going hard’ on a pedestal; it’s not about never sleeping, it’s about being productive when you’re awake and listening to your body.”​ “You can’t perform at a high level for 15–20 years on no sleep—hustle without rest just means you hit the wall sooner.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Eddie breaks down how he went from corporate media to running a 30‑company portfolio, created the Empire Operating System, and co-built the Aspire Tour, the nation’s largest business event series.​ On this episode we talk about: How Eddie went from third‑generation real estate kid and corporate TV/radio executive to starting an ad agency, exiting it, and then suddenly helping operate a portfolio of 30+ companies The Foot Locker “measure-the-feet” story, how it inspired his Brick concept, and how extreme focus on one core metric evolved into the Empire Operating System now used across thousands of companies​​ Scaling from 30 to 86 portfolio companies, then selling 76 of them in a single year to ~20 different buyers—while only owning a minority stake and learning how to systematize exits Why he and Andrew Kroeze built Aspire Tour as a front-end community and lead engine for financial services (tax, insurance, wealth) and how they fill arenas with speakers like David Goggins, Gary Vee, and Shark Tank sharks while often losing money on the event itself​ Eddie’s deeper “why” behind all of it—his Impact Others nonprofit that feeds and educates ~5,300 kids a day in 100+ countries and runs massive projects like providing Christmas morning for 18,000+ children worldwide​​ Top 3 Takeaways Systems are the only way to scale and exit repeatedly; Eddie’s Empire Operating System grew out of real portfolio pain and now focuses each company around a single “brick” metric that drives everything else. Big, sexy front-end plays like Aspire are often loss leaders—what matters is the lifetime value created when you plug those attendees into masterminds, tax strategy, insurance, and other high-value services. Money alone gets boring; tying business growth to a bigger mission—like feeding thousands of kids daily through Impact Others—creates the kind of purpose that keeps you building even after you could retire.

From shoveling driveways in Minnesota to scaling and selling an energy‑efficient remodeling company during the Great Recession, Chris shows how disciplined systems, integrity in sales, and long‑term thinking can build serious revenue.​ On this episode we talk about: How Chris went from shoveling snow and working at McDonald’s to military police, then into construction sales and six‑figure commission income The story of launching an energy‑efficient remodeling business in 2008–2010 using tax credits, ROI calculators, and “green” door‑to‑door canvassing to thrive while legacy contractors went under Why door‑to‑door is still “king” in certain home-services niches, and how to sell respectfully at the front door without being a stereotypical high‑pressure closer The mindset shift from zero‑sum “I win, you lose” sales to win‑win selling that focuses on impact, education, and walking away when you’re not the best fit How Chris now helps leadership teams implement EOS and uses his GoExpand AI platform to build disciplined, accountable, highly profitable organizations​ Top 3 Takeaways The best salespeople think of themselves as problem solvers and educators, not manipulators; they’re willing to walk away when their solution is not truly in the customer’s best interest. In tough economies, differentiation plus math wins: pairing tax incentives, real energy‑savings ROI, and targeted canvassing allowed Chris’s company to grow while others shrank.

The story moves from his very first $197 online sale for an unbuilt course to the realization that big-ticket investments and branding splurges do not guarantee results.​ On this episode we talk about: How a single listener voluntarily sending $197 for a future networking course unlocked Travis’s belief that a small but engaged audience can fund real offers The path from that first pre-sale to masterminds, coaching, and a live event that generated a six-figure weekend and completely changed his sense of what was possible Painful lessons from dropping tens of thousands on masterminds and a fancy website before understanding cash flow, prioritization, and revenue-generating activities Why investing in your business is necessary but never guaranteed—and how to avoid confusing “looking legit online” with actually making money Eric’s tongue‑in‑cheek “Alpha Influence / The Bull” bit and why blind trust in hype-y investment schemes is a terrible replacement for due diligence​ Top 3 Takeaways Small, early wins—like one person happily paying for your idea—can be more important to your trajectory than the dollar amount itself because they prove people will pay you for your expertise.

    3. Risk is mandatory, but recklessness is optional—structure payments, manage runway, and always separate real opportunities from hype-driven schemes that promise “foolproof” returns.

    Notable Quotes

    • “If you can build a brand and add value, people will want to give you money.”

    • “It’s a requirement to make these investments—but it is not a requirement that every investment pans out.”

    • “You should absolutely invest in your business, but be wise enough to prioritize the things that actually generate revenue.”

    ]]>     1349 no     Make Money by Surviving the Roses and Thorns In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric pour a couple of fireball shots and get unusually candid about the early “roses and thorns” of Travis’s entrepreneurial journey. From his very first $197 course sale to painful five‑figure misfires on masterminds, branding, and websites, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster behind building a real business instead of just chasing highlights.​ On this episode we talk about: How Travis made his very first money online selling a networking course that did not exist yet—and why that pre-sale unlocked a new way of thinking about audience, value, and offers The evolution from that first $197 to early masterminds, higher-ticket coaching, and finally a live event that brought in over six figures in a few days (and what it felt like to see the bank balance jump overnight) Early “thorn” moments where he dropped tens of thousands on masterminds, branding, and a fancy website—only to realize none of it directly generated revenue or cash flow Why investing in a business or education is required but never guaranteed to work, and how misallocating funds can wipe out months of runway The difference between spending for optics (logos, swag, sites) versus spending on true income-producing activities—and how Travis would structure payments and cash flow differently now Top 3 Takeaways Early wins do not have to be big to be life-changing; a single small sale that validates your offer and your value can permanently shift how you view making money online. Investments in your business are necessary, but not all investments are equal—prioritize cash-generating assets and skills before you pour money into aesthetics and brand polish. Risk, disappointment, and “bad bets” are part of the process; the goal is not to avoid all losses, but to learn faster, manage cash flow smarter, and stay in the game long enough for your bets to pay off.

    • The evolution from that first $197 to early masterminds, higher-ticket coaching, and finally a live event that brought in over six figures in a few days (and what it felt like to see the bank balance jump overnight)

    • Early “thorn” moments where he dropped tens of thousands on masterminds, branding, and a fancy website—only to realize none of it directly generated revenue or cash flow

    • Why investing in a business or education is required but never guaranteed to work, and how misallocating funds can wipe out months of runway

    ]]>     1143 no     Make Money by Buying Single Family Real Estate In this episode, Travis and his producer dig into a deceptively simple question: is owning rental properties actually worth the headache? They cover single family vs. multifamily, house hacking, and Travis’s own real estate regrets to help listeners decide whether rentals fit their wealth-building plan.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Travis still believes single-family rentals are worth it—especially for beginners—despite the horror stories and extra management work The difference between buying a simple single-family home and taking on a multifamily deal that behaves more like running a small hotel than owning a house How incentives shape advice: why many multifamily syndicators are financially motivated to downplay single-family investing House hacking strategies for young investors (owner-occupied FHA loans, duplexes/4-plexes, living in one unit, and letting tenants cover your mortgage) Hard-earned lessons from Travis’s past sales—how selling too soon and thinking short term cost him six figures in long-term equity and cash flow Top 3 Takeaways Single-family rentals and small multifamily properties are still powerful wealth-building tools, but you need to treat them like a real business with real risk—not like an HGTV side project. “Don’t wait to buy real estate; buy real estate and wait” holds up over time—if someone else is covering your mortgage, holding long term usually beats trying to time the market. The best move for young, unencumbered investors is often house hacking: live cheaply (or free), let tenants pay down your loan, and stack properties instead of selling them at the first sign of short-term profit. Notable Quotes “Buying a multifamily deal is more similar to buying a hotel than buying a house that just cash flows passively on the side.” “You can’t plan your life around being the exception; plan around the rule that real estate rewards patience.” “Don’t wait to buy real estate—buy real estate and wait.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1282 no     Make Money by Getting Rich Slow In this episode, Travis and his producer tackle a common question: what should a young person do with their first $10,000—put it into stocks, real estate, or a business? They use that prompt to unpack why there is no real “easy button,” why business and skill-building usually beat passive investing early on, and how to think about risk, regret, and investing in yourself over the long term.​ On this episode we talk about: Why, if “invest in yourself” is temporarily off the table, Travis would still choose investing in a business over stocks or real estate for a young person with $10k The realities of real estate beyond HGTV—hidden costs, thin margins, contractor issues, and why most successful investors built deep, specialized knowledge first How to think about risk on a 10–30 year life horizon instead of obsessing over what happens to your money in the next 90 days The mindset shift from hoarding cash to using money as energy that has to flow out (into skills, deals, and experiments) in order to flow back in Practical first steps for “investing in yourself” the right way: books, free content, then targeted coaching once you have clarity on your path Top 3 Takeaways For most ambitious young people, betting on a business or income-producing skill will build wealth much faster than passively drip-feeding small amounts into the market and hoping compound interest saves them. There is no legitimate get-rich-quick path; every real success story involves tests, failed bets, and money lost along the way, so plan for the rule (steady action and learning) rather than the rare exceptions. Start small and cheap with self-investment (books, podcasts, YouTube), use that to gain clarity, and then don’t be afraid to spend meaningfully on coaching or education that directly improves your ability to earn. Notable Quotes “The inability to make a decision will always cost you more money than making the bad decision.” “Money is energy—it has to flow out in order to flow in.” “You can’t plan your life around being the exception; plan for the rule, and if you end up the exception, great.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

They distinguish between free, relationship‑based mentorship and paid coaching, and show how the right guidance—combined with ownership of your own effort—can dramatically shorten the path to making more money.​ On this episode we talk about: The tension between “figure it out yourself” hustle and “find a mentor” advice, and why the truth sits in the middle The difference between generic life/business mentors and targeted coaches hired to solve specific problems (sales, operations, lead gen, etc.) Why time is your only nonrenewable resource, and how mentorship can compress the years it takes to learn what actually works How to evaluate potential mentors holistically—looking at business results, family life, and values—not just revenue screenshots​ Why investing in coaching beats spending your last $5k on branding, swag, and fancy gear when you don’t yet have a proven offer or cash flow Top 3 Takeaways Mentors and coaches will not “save” you; they give you better information and guardrails, but you are still fully responsible for doing the work and creating results.

    ]]>     993     Make Money by Being a Bigger Boss Than Rick Ross In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric use a Rick Ross green-room story and a tongue‑in‑cheek “every day I’m hustlin’” intro to jump into a real conversation about what healthy hustle actually looks like. They unpack how perspectives on work, grind, and balance shift once you are a parent, a provider, and no longer a 20‑year‑old with endless time and energy.​ On this episode we talk about: How a backstage compliment from Rick Ross turned into a personal reminder to “perform like a pro” in every room Why early‑stage entrepreneurship often requires a white‑knuckle season of extreme hustle—and why you have to earn your way into a lighter schedule The danger of copying advice from ultra-successful people (like Tim Ferriss) who are already financially set, while you are still in build mode The difference between productive hustle and toxic “grind culture” that glorifies long hours without meaningful results How clarity of the life you want, plus alignment with work you actually care about, makes long hours more sustainable and less miserable Top 3 Takeaways Hustle should come in intentional phases: there are seasons where 80–100‑hour weeks make sense to buy back decades of future freedom, but you have to know what you are working toward and when to dial it back. Outworking everyone only matters if you are working on the right things; 14‑hour days of low‑impact tasks will wreck your health without moving your business forward. You are not owed your dream life just for existing—own your inputs, stop blaming external factors, and be unapologetic about the work required to build the outcomes you want.

They unpack how perspectives on work, grind, and balance shift once you are a parent, a provider, and no longer a 20‑year‑old with endless time and energy.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • How a backstage compliment from Rick Ross turned into a personal reminder to “perform like a pro” in every room

    • Why early‑stage entrepreneurship often requires a white‑knuckle season of extreme hustle—and why you have to earn your way into a lighter schedule

    • The danger of copying advice from ultra-successful people (like Tim Ferriss) who are already financially set, while you are still in build mode

    • The difference between productive hustle and toxic “grind culture” that glorifies long hours without meaningful results

    • How clarity of the life you want, plus alignment with work you actually care about, makes long hours more sustainable and less miserable

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Hustle should come in intentional phases: there are seasons where 80–100‑hour weeks make sense to buy back decades of future freedom, but you have to know what you are working toward and when to dial it back.

    2. Outworking everyone only matters if you are working on the right things; 14‑hour days of low‑impact tasks will wreck your health without moving your business forward.

    3. You are not owed your dream life just for existing—own your inputs, stop blaming external factors, and be unapologetic about the work required to build the outcomes you want.

    ]]>     1333 no     Make Money by Avoiding Stupid Financial Advice In this episode, Travis sits down with his produce for a fun but pointed breakdown of the “dumbest” money advice that keeps going viral—especially the idea that you can simply save and budget your way to real wealth. The conversation blends sarcasm, listener-style questions, and real numbers to show why the old-school “just cut lattes and max your 401(k)” script no longer works on its own.​ On this episode we talk about: Why “you can save your way to retirement/wealth” is outdated advice in today’s economy How popular personal finance voices lean too hard on small cuts and compound interest examples that top out at barely livable retirement numbers Why your income is the number one lever for building wealth—and why focusing only on cutting expenses keeps you stuck The tradeoff between delayed gratification and actually enjoying life now (family trips, nicer car, real experiences) without wrecking your future How to think like an entrepreneur and ask, “How can I have both?” instead of choosing between a miserable present or a broke future​ Top 3 Takeaways You can’t save your way to your dream life; at some point you must learn how to earn more so you can invest at meaningful levels, not just 100100–200200 dollars a month forever.​ Cutting expenses and being frugal matters, but obsessing over coupons and $3 decisions will never move the needle like taking your income from 50K50K to 250K250K over time. The real goal is to both fund your future (retirement, investments, freedom) and live a life full of memories now—which requires skill-building, risk, and refusing to accept “this is just my lot in life.” Notable Quotes “Penny saved is just a penny.” “If you don’t have the confidence to go earn more money, you’re always at the mercy of what other people want to pay you for your time.” “Sacrificing the present for the future is a bad idea—but sacrificing the future for the present is just as bad.

The conversation blends sarcasm, listener-style questions, and real numbers to show why the old-school “just cut lattes and max your 401(k)” script no longer works on its own.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Why “you can save your way to retirement/wealth” is outdated advice in today’s economy

    • How popular personal finance voices lean too hard on small cuts and compound interest examples that top out at barely livable retirement numbers

    • Why your income is the number one lever for building wealth—and why focusing only on cutting expenses keeps you stuck

    • The tradeoff between delayed gratification and actually enjoying life now (family trips, nicer car, real experiences) without wrecking your future

    • How to think like an entrepreneur and ask, “How can I have both?” instead of choosing between a miserable present or a broke future​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. You can’t save your way to your dream life; at some point you must learn how to earn more so you can invest at meaningful levels, not just 100100–200200 dollars a month forever.​

    2. Cutting expenses and being frugal matters, but obsessing over coupons and $3 decisions will never move the needle like taking your income from 50K50K to 250K250K over time.

    3. The real goal is to both fund your future (retirement, investments, freedom) and live a life full of memories now—which requires skill-building, risk, and refusing to accept “this is just my lot in life.”

    Notable Quotes

    • “Penny saved is just a penny.”

    • “If you don’t have the confidence to go earn more money, you’re always at the mercy of what other people want to pay you for your time.”

    • “Sacrificing the present for the future is a bad idea—but sacrificing the future for the present is just as bad. You have to learn how to have both.”

    ]]>     939 no     Make Money by Becoming a Pastor In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric react to a wild sermon clip from fundamentalist pastor Phil Kidd going off on church members about tithing, pastor lifestyles, and “God‑robbing thieves.” The conversation uses the clip as a springboard to unpack how money, ministry, and guilt-based giving often get tangled together in modern church culture.​ On this episode we talk about: Why “if you question my spending, you’re a God‑robber” is such a manipulative framing How young Travis used to automatically trust anything said from a pulpit—and what changed as an adult The real tension in pastor salaries: compensating competence vs. hiding lifestyle excess behind spiritual language Why nonprofit and church structures can quietly turn into big, expensive machines where only a tiny slice reaches the stated “cause” A more honest view: church members do fund the pastor’s life, just like taxpayers fund government salaries Why Travis prefers direct, quiet generosity to individuals over funneling everything through churches or large charities Top 3 Takeaways Guilt is a terrible financial advisor. “Give or you’re robbing God” and “you didn’t pay for my car” are emotional pressure tactics, not healthy teaching on generosity. Paying pastors well is not the problem; lack of transparency is. The issue is not income itself but how it is justified, explained, and held accountable. You can be generous without loving the institutional model. Supporting people and causes you believe in directly can often feel more aligned and impactful than blindly funding bloated structures.

    ]]>     1637 no     Make Money with this Investment Philosophy In this episode, host Travis Chappell answers a big-picture question from producer Eric: What is your current investment philosophy—and how has it changed since your first deal? He walks through hard-won lessons from real estate flips, angel bets, crypto, and his own failed startup to explain why most people should stop trying to “beat the market” and focus on boring, compounding plays instead.​ On this episode we talk about: Travis’ early “invest in yourself and real estate” mindset—and what he actually got right from the start How chasing deals he did not fully understand (random startups, friend projects, private loans) mostly went to zero Why even elite angel investors like Jason Calacanis expect the vast majority of deals to fail Dan Fleyshman’s rough allocation model: most into low-risk, compounding assets (index funds/blue-chip stocks), a slice into medium-risk plays (like real estate), and a small “home run” bucket for angel/venture-type bets Why Travis now sees the S&P 500 and broad market exposure as a better default than stock-picking or timing trades Regrets about selling real estate too soon and why his rule now is “never sell if humanly possible” How he currently thinks about crypto (Bitcoin/Ethereum-heavy, minimal alt-coins) and why he treats big swings as speculation, not core investing The crucial distinction between investing (long-term, compounding, boring) and speculating (fun, risky, totally optional) Top 3 Takeaways You are probably not going to beat the market. Unless investing is your full-time job, broad, diversified, long-term holdings will almost always outperform your attempts to time or outsmart the market. Real estate rewards patience, not flipping for quick cash. Selling properties early to free up a bit of short-term liquidity often means walking away from six-figure equity decades later. Speculation should be play money only. Crypto punts, angel rounds, and friend-startup checks belong in a small “casino bucket,” not in the same pile as your retirement and financial freedom money. Notable Quotes “If I had just put what I put into random companies into the S&P, it would be about double today instead of almost zero.” “Most people use 100% of their investing for play money—and then get mad when the ‘big swing’ goes to zero.” “Time in the market beats timing the market.

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Travis’ early “invest in yourself and real estate” mindset—and what he actually got right from the start

    • How chasing deals he did not fully understand (random startups, friend projects, private loans) mostly went to zero

    • Why even elite angel investors like Jason Calacanis expect the vast majority of deals to fail

    • Dan Fleyshman’s rough allocation model: most into low-risk, compounding assets (index funds/blue-chip stocks), a slice into medium-risk plays (like real estate), and a small “home run” bucket for angel/venture-type bets

    • Why Travis now sees the S&P 500 and broad market exposure as a better default than stock-picking or timing trades

    • Regrets about selling real estate too soon and why his rule now is “never sell if humanly possible”

    • How he currently thinks about crypto (Bitcoin/Ethereum-heavy, minimal alt-coins) and why he treats big swings as speculation, not core investing

    • The crucial distinction between investing (long-term, compounding, boring) and speculating (fun, risky, totally optional)

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. You are probably not going to beat the market. Unless investing is your full-time job, broad, diversified, long-term holdings will almost always outperform your attempts to time or outsmart the market.

    2. Real estate rewards patience, not flipping for quick cash. Selling properties early to free up a bit of short-term liquidity often means walking away from six-figure equity decades later.

    3. Speculation should be play money only. Crypto punts, angel rounds, and friend-startup checks belong in a small “casino bucket,” not in the same pile as your retirement and financial freedom money.

    ]]>     1369 no     Make *Enough* Money In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric wrestle with one deceptively simple question: What does “enough” money actually look like? The conversation ranges from private jets and yachts to first-class flights, five-star dinners, and court-side sports experiences—and why most people wildly overestimate what it takes to live an extraordinary, but not billionaire-level, life.​ On this episode we talk about: Travis’ personal definition of “enough”: first-class flights, five-star dining, great seats at games and concerts, and rich family travel—without obsessively checking the bank app Why jets, yachts, and 17,000-square-foot mansions are not actually part of his goals How friends use money to buy unforgettable experiences (like chatting with Shohei Ohtani from behind the dugout or sitting courtside during NBA playoffs) The tradeoff between Grant Cardone/Alex Hormozi-level drive and the time cost of maintaining that lifestyle Why you must adjust either your goals or your expectations if you are not willing to work like an ultra-elite entrepreneur Data on what it really takes to be top 10% and top 1% income in the U.S.—and why that number is lower than most people guess Why an “extraordinary life” is more attainable than social media makes it seem if you define it thoughtfully Top 3 Takeaways “Enough” is personal—but it must be specific. For Travis, it is the freedom to buy high-quality experiences (travel, dining, memories with kids) without financial anxiety, not owning every luxury toy on earth. Ultra-wealth has a workload attached. If you want billionaire-style outcomes, you must be honest about whether you are truly willing to live the grind that level requires; if not, recalibrate. Extraordinary doesn’t require billions. Hitting high-six-figure or low-seven-figure income and net worth—combined with sane spending choices—can fund a rich, experience-filled life for most people. Notable Quotes “I’m not chasing a jet and a yacht. I just want to take my family to Italy for three weeks and not worry about staying in a sketchy hostel.” “If you’re not willing to work like Grant Cardone, you probably shouldn’t expect Grant Cardone’s life.” “Extraordinary is only one or two levels above where most people are now—not some impossible billionaire mountain.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    • Why you must adjust either your goals or your expectations if you are not willing to work like an ultra-elite entrepreneur

    • Data on what it really takes to be top 10% and top 1% income in the U.S.—and why that number is lower than most people guess

    ]]>     1553 no     Make Money by Not Financing Your Chipotle In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric dig into one of the most dangerous trends in personal finance right now: exploding consumer debt from credit cards and “buy now, pay later” services—and what it reveals about how people actually spend. Using fresh data on U.S. credit card balances and global BNPL usage, they unpack why financing sneakers and burritos is wrecking budgets and what to do instead if you are serious about building wealth.​ On this episode we talk about: Why total U.S. credit card debt has climbed to roughly $1.33 trillion and what that means for everyday households How global “buy now, pay later” balances have surged to an estimated $560 billion, mostly for low‑ticket, nonessential items The top BNPL categories: clothing/fashion, electronics, furniture, and a fast‑growing share going to groceries How big-box stores and delivery apps now let you finance everyday purchases at checkout Why using debt for shoes, hoodies, and gadgets is fundamentally different from financing an HVAC unit or medical bill The psychological impact of seeing 4,000–10,000 marketing messages per day and how that fuels overspending Why blaming the economy while financing lifestyle purchases is a losing combo Practical alternatives: thrift stores, discount retailers, and simply opting out of nonessential buys Top 3 Takeaways If you have to finance it, you probably cannot afford it. Outside of big essentials like housing, transportation, or critical repairs, using credit or BNPL for clothes, tech, or takeout is a red flag. BNPL is still debt, even if it does not hit your credit report (yet). Spreading $60 here and $120 there across Klarna and Affirm quietly piles up into a bill that kills your ability to build wealth. You cannot out-complain your way to financial freedom. The economy may be tough, but personal discipline—saying no to financed lifestyle purchases and focusing on increasing income—is nonnegotiable. Notable Quotes “If you are financing sneakers and handbags and complaining about your finances, you have no right to be complaining.” “Just because it doesn’t show up on your credit report doesn’t mean it’s free money—you still have to pay it back.” “Our parents were dealt a different hand; this is ours.

    ]]>     1500 no     Make Money Before You Worry About Generational Wealth In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric react to a spicy clip from personal finance expert Ramit Sethi about why most people have no business obsessing over “generational wealth” when they are still buried in debt and struggling with basic money habits. The conversation turns into a practical breakdown of whose advice to follow, when ultra‑rich guidance stops applying to you, and how Travis’ parents quietly passed him real financial advantage without ever cutting him a big check.​ On this episode we talk about: Why “generational wealth” has become a trendy TikTok buzzword—and why that’s a problem if you have credit card debt How to filter advice from billionaires, gurus, and influencers so you do not copy the wrong things at the wrong stage The difference between how wealthy people built their money versus what they say now that they are already rich Why copying Tony Robbins’ ice baths or a bodybuilder’s current routine will not get you their results How Travis’ parents taught him to tithe, save, and spend with a simple three‑slot piggy bank system Turning childhood savings into a first duplex in a rough neighborhood and what that deal taught him about delayed gratification Why dumping money on kids without money education often ruins them Practical ways Travis is teaching his own kids to connect work, math, and money (and why he makes them buy their own “extras”) Top 3 Takeaways Sequence matters. Generational wealth is a later‑stage concern; if you are in debt, can’t afford housing, or investing almost nothing, your focus should be getting stable, increasing income, and building basic assets first. Copy the early steps, not the end state. Look at what successful people did when they were two or three steps ahead of you, not what they say or do after decades of wealth and security. Knowledge is the real inheritance. Teaching kids how money works—earning, saving, investing, trade‑offs—often does more for their long‑term wealth than writing a massive check. Notable Quotes “Just because someone is 40 steps ahead of you doesn’t mean their current advice applies to where you are right now.” “My parents didn’t just give me money; they taught me what to do with the money I earned.” “You don’t get money just for existing—if you want extra stuff, you learn to earn it.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Travis also opens up about his own nontraditional paths to getting paid, from door-to-door sales to a short-lived modeling side quest. On this episode we talk about: Creators making $40–50K/month purely from TikTok Shop affiliate commissions with no physical products How an eight-figure landscaper turned his experience into “Uber for lawn care” with the GreenPal app Flea market and Facebook Marketplace flippers who drive around, buy underpriced items, and resell them on eBay for five-figure profits on single deals A niche e‑commerce brand built around a single problem: detangling doodle dog hair and scaling it to seven figures Remote “job stacking” and how one guest runs three work‑from‑home jobs for a combined multiple six‑figure salary Travis’ own unconventional income streams: podcast sponsorships, coaching days, Facebook Reels payouts, and even a paid modeling gig in college Top 3 Takeaways Weird often wins. The money is frequently in ultra-specific problems—like doodle hair detanglers or lawn-mowing logistics—rather than trendy, crowded ideas. Distribution is a cheat code. Platforms like TikTok Shop, Facebook Reels, and niche apps can turn other people’s products and systems into meaningful cash flow if you understand how to drive attention. “Unconventional” is the new normal. Door-to-door sales, stacked remote jobs, arbitrage flipping, and content monetization show there are many viable ways to earn beyond a traditional 9–5. Notable Quotes “He doesn’t even have products—it’s all affiliate. He just cranks out videos and commissions.” “You can build a seven‑figure business solving one really specific problem… even if it is just tangled doodle hair.” “Almost everything I’ve done to make money has been the nontraditional route.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Travis also opens up about his own nontraditional paths to getting paid, from door-to-door sales to a short-lived modeling side quest.

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Creators making $40–50K/month purely from TikTok Shop affiliate commissions with no physical products

    • How an eight-figure landscaper turned his experience into “Uber for lawn care” with the GreenPal app

    • Flea market and Facebook Marketplace flippers who drive around, buy underpriced items, and resell them on eBay for five-figure profits on single deals

    • A niche e‑commerce brand built around a single problem: detangling doodle dog hair and scaling it to seven figures

    • Remote “job stacking” and how one guest runs three work‑from‑home jobs for a combined multiple six‑figure salary

    • Travis’ own unconventional income streams: podcast sponsorships, coaching days, Facebook Reels payouts, and even a paid modeling gig in college

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Weird often wins. The money is frequently in ultra-specific problems—like doodle hair detanglers or lawn-mowing logistics—rather than trendy, crowded ideas.

    2. Distribution is a cheat code. Platforms like TikTok Shop, Facebook Reels, and niche apps can turn other people’s products and systems into meaningful cash flow if you understand how to drive attention.

    3. “Unconventional” is the new normal. Door-to-door sales, stacked remote jobs, arbitrage flipping, and content monetization show there are many viable ways to earn beyond a traditional 9–5.

    ]]>     1181 no     Make Money with Rapid Fire Decisions In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric run through ten rapid‑fire “two‑minute” money scenarios—from surprise IRS letters to flooded houses and hidden luxury spending—to reveal how Travis actually thinks under pressure. The conversation blends practical frameworks, blackjack metaphors, and relationship dynamics to show how to make saner decisions when cash gets tight or emotions run high.​ On this episode we talk about: What Travis would really do if he found $1,000 on the street How he’d handle a surprise $15,000 IRS back‑tax bill What happens if a relative leaves him a $50,000 windfall The first expenses he’d cut if his income went to zero overnight How he’d respond to a business cash crunch (without immediately raising money) Spotting obvious crypto scams that promise “30% monthly guaranteed” Whether he’d ever buy a luxury watch and how he’d think about resale value Why he prefers funding individuals in need over big, bloated charities What he’d do if rent was due with no emergency fund How he’d handle discovering $5,000 of unplanned luxury spending in the family budget Top 3 Takeaways Have a default plan for every major category. Knowing in advance how you’ll handle windfalls, tax surprises, medical bills, and income loss keeps you from reacting emotionally and blowing up your long‑term goals. Speculation is fine—if it is truly play money. Whether it is blackjack or alt‑coins, any high‑risk bet should be money you are fully prepared to lose, not rent or retirement funds. Money and relationships are tightly linked. From lending to family to surprise spending, clear communication, shared visibility (via tools like budgeting apps), and firm boundaries matter as much as the dollars themselves. Notable Quotes “The boring answer is I’d probably just put it in the bank. The fun answer is I’d probably go play blackjack.” “You haven’t discovered the secret 30‑percent‑a‑month investment. If it were real, every hedge fund on the planet would already be in it.” “I’ll take care of what needs to be taken care of.

    ]]>     1316 no     Make Money in Spite of Life's Curveballs In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric run through a series of real‑world “curveball” scenarios—from surprise medical bills to flooded houses and lowball dream-job offers—to talk through how to respond without blowing up your finances. With a mix of humor, baseball metaphors, and practical frameworks, they show how to build decision rules that keep you calm and rational when life gets messy.​ On this episode we talk about: When to repair, replace, or go down to one car after a breakdown How to negotiate surprise medical bills and when to just pay them A $5,000 family loan request: help, enable, or say no? Whether to ever take a “dream job” that pays 30% less than you currently earn How a surprise baby would (and wouldn’t) change Travis’ budget Funding a child’s gap year vs. making them pay their own way Using an emergency fund when your home floods and insurance denies the claim Evaluating “sure thing” investment tips from strangers Turning down paid speaking gigs or opportunities that could damage your brand Top 3 Takeaways Decide your rules before the curveball hits. Knowing in advance how you handle cars, medical bills, loans, and emergencies keeps you from making emotional, expensive decisions in the moment. Help without enabling. Supporting family or kids financially is generous, but repeatedly rescuing adults from the consequences of bad decisions only keeps them stuck. Protect brand and autonomy over short-term cash. Whether it is a lower-paying dream job or a shady speaking lineup, long-term reputation and control usually matter more than the immediate paycheck. Notable Quotes “With medical bills, always negotiate first—those numbers are almost never the real numbers.” “I’ll take care of what needs to be taken care of. Anything extra you want, you need to learn how to earn.” “Brand is everything.

    ]]>     1078     Make Money by Investing Wisely In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down missed opportunities, painful losses, and fraud-adjacent stories to show how real-world investors actually think through risk. Using everything from crypto FOMO to Shark Tank misses and Ponzi-style funds, they explore how to build a rational investing framework that can survive both wins and wipeouts.​ On this episode we talk about: Passing on early opportunities like crypto and what that really cost over time Famous “missed deals” like Ring and other Shark Tank passes that later exploded How to emotionally process investments that go to zero—even when they seemed “safe” Why trying to “beat the market” usually backfires for non-professional investors The blackjack analogy for setting clear investing rules and sticking to them Angel investing math: why most startups fail and what that means for your checks A real story of an investor-turned-felon running a quasi‑Ponzi fund How seemingly smart people slide from aggressive bets into outright fraud Why Travis shifted from big swings to boring, low‑risk, long‑term investments Top 3 Takeaways Losses are inevitable, so you need rules before you need returns. Approaching investing like blackjack—accepting losses as part of the game and sticking to a predetermined strategy—keeps you from going on emotional “tilt” after a bad beat. Most private deals will fail, even with “strong” founders. Angel and alternative investments should be treated as high‑risk, small‑allocation bets—not as the foundation of your net worth. Boring usually wins over time. For long‑term wealth, broad, diversified, low‑chance‑of‑zero investments (like major index funds) are a far more reliable base than chasing the next Uber or crypto rocket ship. Notable Quotes “You have to set rules and then stick to the rules—because losses are part of the game.” “You’re not going to beat the market. Ray Dalio can’t consistently beat the market, and he’s the best in the world.” “There’s no truly ‘no‑risk’ investment. If someone promises that, they’re either lying or they’re going to prison.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down missed opportunities, painful losses, and fraud-adjacent stories to show how real-world investors actually think through risk. Using everything from crypto FOMO to Shark Tank misses and Ponzi-style funds, they explore how to build a rational investing framework that can survive both wins and wipeouts.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Passing on early opportunities like crypto and what that really cost over time

    • Famous “missed deals” like Ring and other Shark Tank passes that later exploded

    • How to emotionally process investments that go to zero—even when they seemed “safe”

    • Why trying to “beat the market” usually backfires for non-professional investors

    • The blackjack analogy for setting clear investing rules and sticking to them

    • Angel investing math: why most startups fail and what that means for your checks

    • A real story of an investor-turned-felon running a quasi‑Ponzi fund

    • How seemingly smart people slide from aggressive bets into outright fraud

    • Why Travis shifted from big swings to boring, low‑risk, long‑term investments

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Losses are inevitable, so you need rules before you need returns. Approaching investing like blackjack—accepting losses as part of the game and sticking to a predetermined strategy—keeps you from going on emotional “tilt” after a bad beat.

    2. Most private deals will fail, even with “strong” founders. Angel and alternative investments should be treated as high‑risk, small‑allocation bets—not as the foundation of your net worth.

    3. Boring usually wins over time. For long‑term wealth, broad, diversified, low‑chance‑of‑zero investments (like major index funds) are a far more reliable base than chasing the next Uber or crypto rocket ship.

    • “You have to set rules and then stick to the rules—because losses are part of the game.”

    • “You’re not going to beat the market. Ray Dalio can’t consistently beat the market, and he’s the best in the world.”

    • “There’s no truly ‘no‑risk’ investment. If someone promises that, they’re either lying or they’re going to prison.”​

Together, they explore internal validation, boredom, sales, and why entrepreneurship can be a better fit for people who crave variety and new challenges.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Travis’ biggest flaw is internalizing failure more than success How external validation and upbringing shape your “internal thermostat” for success The “flaw” of getting bored quickly and how it led Travis from sales into podcasting How bouncing between solar, alarms, water, and other products left money on the table Why commission checks are never truly “uncapped” and what pushed Travis toward online business How entrepreneurship provides new problems to solve beyond just “sell more” A simple two-part filter for deciding which feedback and advice to ignore Top 3 Takeaways Internalizing failure more than success silently caps your potential. If you only replay your mistakes and never allow yourself to own your wins, your “internal thermostat” will drag you back down the moment you start exceeding your self‑image.

They talk through when to quietly distance yourself, when to speak up, and how to manage association risk in a space where stages, podcasts, and social feeds are all interconnected.​ On this episode we talk about: How Travis thinks about friends or peers who start associating with questionable people (e.g., certain network marketing leaders) and why proximity can change how much he intervenes.​ The practical ways he “distances” himself: fewer recommendations, less collaboration, muting/unfollowing, and quietly stepping back from certain events or lineups.​ Why he almost never publicly “calls people out,” and how he uses a sleep-on-it rule to avoid drama-driven content that doesn’t match who he wants to be.​ The responsibility that comes with doing exposé-style or investigative content, and why putting your real name behind accusations matters.​ How event panels could be more interesting if hosts deliberately surface disagreement instead of running a string of safe mini–TED Talks.​ Top 3 Takeaways Your level of involvement should match your level of relationship: close friends may warrant a direct, private conversation; distant acquaintances usually just warrant distance.​ Quietly stepping back—stop recommending, stop collaborating, mute or unfollow—is often more productive than jumping into public call-out culture.​ If you’re going to publicly challenge someone’s character or business practices, you owe it to everyone involved to fact-check, seek multiple perspectives, and be willing to put your own name on the line.​ Notable Quotes “It’s not up to me to decide whether someone should use their platform for something just because I wouldn’t—but I can decide how close I want to be to it.”​ “You can’t shake off that filth as quickly as you’d like to; who you share a stage with matters.”​ “Don’t completely write people off; if the relationship matters, at least try to understand their perspective before you walk away.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

The conversation explores the tension between hating the credit system, still needing to function inside it, and the practical realities of renting apartments, buying cars, and getting mortgages in the real world.​ On this episode we talk about: Dave Ramsey’s “my FICO score is zero” flex, why it’s objectively impressive, and why it doesn’t translate cleanly to normal earners.​ How the credit system actually works in practice—hard inquiries, utilization, and why Travis once saw his score drop to the high 500s despite never missing a payment.​ The difference between disagreeing with how the game is set up and refusing to play it at all when you still need housing, transportation, or business funding.​ Why obsessing over cutting every $10 expense is usually less productive than figuring out how to earn more so gas prices and coupon clipping stop running your life.​ The line between using credit as a tool (responsibly) and using “points hacking” as an excuse for financial gymnastics that don’t move the needle.​ Top 3 Takeaways The credit system is deeply flawed, but pretending it doesn’t exist usually hurts regular people far more than it hurts multimillionaires who can just write checks.​ A strong credit profile—on-time payments, low utilization, limited hard inquiries—gives you options: better rates, easier approvals, and real emergency flexibility.​ It’s more powerful to focus on making more money and using the system intelligently than to chase the moral high ground of having no credit score at all.​ Notable Quotes “I agree the system is dumb—but also, it’s the system that’s there.”​ “It’s objectively better to have a good credit score than to have no credit score or a bad one.”​ “You’re doing more mental gymnastics to brag that you have no credit score than you would be just managing a couple of cards responsibly.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

The conversation explores the tension between hating the credit system, still needing to function inside it, and the practical realities of renting apartments, buying cars, and getting mortgages in the real world.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Dave Ramsey’s “my FICO score is zero” flex, why it’s objectively impressive, and why it doesn’t translate cleanly to normal earners.​

    • How the credit system actually works in practice—hard inquiries, utilization, and why Travis once saw his score drop to the high 500s despite never missing a payment.​

    • The difference between disagreeing with how the game is set up and refusing to play it at all when you still need housing, transportation, or business funding.​

    • Why obsessing over cutting every $10 expense is usually less productive than figuring out how to earn more so gas prices and coupon clipping stop running your life.​

    • The line between using credit as a tool (responsibly) and using “points hacking” as an excuse for financial gymnastics that don’t move the needle.​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. The credit system is deeply flawed, but pretending it doesn’t exist usually hurts regular people far more than it hurts multimillionaires who can just write checks.​

    2. A strong credit profile—on-time payments, low utilization, limited hard inquiries—gives you options: better rates, easier approvals, and real emergency flexibility.​

    3. It’s more powerful to focus on making more money and using the system intelligently than to chase the moral high ground of having no credit score at all.​

    Notable Quotes

    • “I agree the system is dumb—but also, it’s the system that’s there.”​

    • “It’s objectively better to have a good credit score than to have no credit score or a bad one.”​

    • “You’re doing more mental gymnastics to brag that you have no credit score than you would be just managing a couple of cards responsibly.”​

    ]]>     2066 no     Make Money by Choosing (and Ending) the Right Partnerships In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric break down how to think about relationships in business—from early-stage networking, to picking partners, to knowing when it’s time to walk away. Using personal stories (including a near “bridge-burning” moment that later turned into a restored friendship and new deals), Travis lays out a practical framework for building a network that actually supports your goals without turning you into a ruthless opportunist. On this episode we talk about: Why, early on, you should say “yes” a lot, go to events, and focus on volume and exposure instead of over‑filtering people too soon. How to distinguish between true business partners (like a marriage) and looser collaborations or joint ventures—and why the standards are different. What to look for in deeper partnerships: aligned values, shared vision, complementary skills, and genuine trust. When and how to end client or partner relationships that are technically profitable but are destroying your mental energy. The danger of “covert contracts” in friendships and business—unspoken expectations that, when violated, lead to resentment and broken relationships. Top 3 Takeaways Early in your career, prioritize exposure and reps: go places, meet people, and let real‑world interactions teach you what you actually value in partners and peers. Ending a partnership isn’t just about money; it’s about whether the relationship still serves both parties without draining your time, energy, and integrity. Before burning a bridge, ask what part you played in the breakdown, own your side, and rebuild your half of the bridge—you might recover a valuable relationship later. Notable Quotes “You don’t want all your time taken up by people who have no goals—but that doesn’t make them bad people. It just means you need to go find others who share your ambitions.” “Your job in sales and business is not to ‘win’ against people; if only you win, that’s a problem.” “Most broken partnerships are fueled by covert contracts—agreements you wrote in your head that the other person never actually signed.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1996 no     Make Money Knocking Doors (Without Being That Guy) Producer Eric joins Travis for a door-to-door sales deep dive, pulling from years of real-world canvassing experience in security, solar, and church outreach. From getting chased by dogs and dealing with “ostrich” homeowners to dissecting viral sales clips, this episode turns war stories into a practical masterclass on how to sell at the door without being sleazy or burning out.​ On this episode we talk about: Why door-to-door is still one of the fastest skill-building & income-boosting paths for young hustlers The fine line between having fun at the doors and sabotaging your own pitch Why “I know you hate door-to-door guys” is a terrible opener—and what to say instead How to reframe objections (“That’s exactly why I’m here…”) and handle competitors without trash-talking them Ethics and strategy around “No Soliciting” signs, and how being older, a parent, and a homeowner changes the way you see canvassing Why pest control can be a sleeper-hit business model with strong recurring revenue and scalable door-to-door teams​ Top 3 Takeaways Never lead with shame or apology at the door; if you act like you’re a nuisance, the prospect will believe you and treat you that way. Reframe objections as openings: “That’s exactly why I’m here” keeps the conversation going and gives you time to build trust instead of slamming the door on yourself.

    ]]>     1693 no     Make Money with Secret Santa | Peter Imburg Peter Imburg is the founder and CEO of Elfster, the world’s most widely used Secret Santa and gift exchange platform, now serving over 40 million users globally. He bootstrapped the company from a side project in his basement into a profitable, affiliate-driven e‑commerce engine—without taking a dollar of venture capital or angel money. On this episode we talk about: How Peter went from paper routes and grocery bagging to tech consulting and then founding Elfster. The origin story of Elfster and how a frustrating family Secret Santa experience sparked a global platform. Bootstrapping for years without outside funding, including early experiments with sponsorships and brand campaigns. The pivotal shift from seasonal ad deals to an affiliate/e‑commerce model that finally aligned user growth with revenue. What Elfster looks like today: tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions in gross merchandise volume, and a lean global team. Top 3 Takeaways You don’t need VC money to build something big; you do need a real problem, relentless iteration, and patience through years of “keeping the lights on.” Business models matter as much as product—Elfster didn’t really turn the corner until it aligned its product with an evergreen revenue engine (affiliate commerce) instead of one‑off ad experiments. Long-term success often comes from saying yes to “small” opportunities (like a late‑season campaign) and then spotting the bigger strategic insight hidden inside them. Notable Quotes “There’s got to be somebody doing this online…I looked all around, there’s nothing.” “For years we were getting enough money to keep the lights on, but user growth didn’t translate into revenue growth.” “Once we made the shift, as we grew users, our revenue grew too—that was the pivotal moment.” Connect with Elfster: Website: elfster.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1951 no     Make Money in Sales Without Being a Scammy Closer In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric react to a series of viral skits that poke fun at B2B sales reps, door-to-door bros, and MLM stereotypes—and use them to break down what actually makes for good, ethical selling. The conversation hits on empathy, objection handling, long-term thinking, and why trying to “pound” customers for one big commission check is a terrible strategy if you want a real career in sales. On this episode we talk about: Viral comedy skits about B2B sales, breakups with sales bros, and door-to-door stereotypes—and why they’re so accurate. Why great salespeople are genuinely empathetic, listen deeply, and try to understand prospects instead of waiting to talk. How phrases like “totally understand” and “so what I’m hearing is…” can be powerful when they’re rooted in real curiosity, not manipulation. The difference between transactional, burn-and-churn sales (pest control, alarms, etc.) and relational, long-cycle sales where reputation matters. Why treating people well, solving real problems, and playing the long game leads to referrals, repeat business, and an actual book of business. Top 3 Takeaways The best salespeople don’t see selling as “winning” against a customer; they aim for a genuine win–win where the client’s problem is solved and the rep is fairly paid. Simple frameworks like “feel–felt–found,” restating what you’re hearing, and handling objections are ethical and effective when you truly believe in your product and its fit. Burning customers for a slightly bigger commission check destroys long-term opportunity; taking care of people builds referrals, repeat deals, and an actual business instead of just a job. Notable Quotes "Your job as a salesperson is to remove all obstacles to the person making a decision that’s going to help them." "If only you win in the deal, that’s a problem—either your product sucks or you’re actually in a pyramid scheme." "Most salespeople just want to get through the pitch; they forget there’s an actual person on the other side of the call." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     2632 no     Make Money by Dodging Frivolous Lawsuits Travis teams up with his producer Eric to react to a wild news story about two Dairy Queen franchise owners in Long Island who got hit with a $6 million lawsuit over a technical payroll violation. Using their situation as a springboard, Travis unpacks the often invisible risks of small business ownership, the realities of razor-thin margins, and why the legal and regulatory environment can feel stacked against entrepreneurs. On this episode we talk about: The Dairy Queen “DQ sisters” case—how paying employees every two weeks instead of weekly triggered a multi‑million‑dollar lawsuit under an old New York pay‑frequency law. Why lawyers, not workers or owners, often walk away with the biggest payday from these kinds of class actions. The myth that small business and franchise owners are “rolling in cash” versus the reality of 12–16% profit margins and massive fixed costs. How minimum wage pressures, government regulations, permits, and franchise fees compound the financial strain on brick‑and‑mortar businesses. Why demanding higher pay without building new skills can backfire as automation and robotics become more attractive than hiring entry‑level labor. Top 3 Takeaways Small business owners—especially franchise operators—often operate on thin margins and can be wiped out by unexpected legal or regulatory hits, even when they’re acting in good faith. Many “worker protection” lawsuits end up benefiting attorneys far more than employees, while leaving owners financially devastated and sometimes out of business. The most reliable way to increase your income is not to rely on lawsuits or mandated wage hikes, but to build valuable skills, increase your earning power, and keep extra cash reserves for the inevitable surprises of business and life. Notable Quotes "People think business owners are taking their workers to the cleaners, but a lot of them are barely keeping the lights on." "You might feel like you’re suing ‘McDonald’s,’ but in reality you’re wrecking the local franchisee who leveraged their house to open that one store." "We need a skill‑building mindset, not a ‘demand more money for the same work’ mindset, or we’ll just price ourselves right into being replaced by robots." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    3. The most reliable way to increase your income is not to rely on lawsuits or mandated wage hikes, but to build valuable skills, increase your earning power, and keep extra cash reserves for the inevitable surprises of business and life.

    Notable Quotes

    • "People think business owners are taking their workers to the cleaners, but a lot of them are barely keeping the lights on."

    • "You might feel like you’re suing ‘McDonald’s,’ but in reality you’re wrecking the local franchisee who leveraged their house to open that one store."

    • "We need a skill‑building mindset, not a ‘demand more money for the same work’ mindset, or we’ll just price ourselves right into being replaced by robots."

    ]]>     1231 no     Make Money After the Military with Travis Winfield Retired Navy Senior Chief Travis Winfield is a bestselling author and the CEO of Military Operated Real Estate (MORE), the first national real estate brand built specifically for service members and veterans. He went from growing up with almost nothing to building a powerhouse six‑agent team that has closed over 700 homes and more than $350 million in sales, and his mission now is to fix the financial literacy crisis holding military families back from real wealth. On this episode we talk about: How Travis went from bad credit, 25% car loans, and debt to building a multi‑million‑dollar real estate business. Why so many service members leave the military in a worse financial position than when they joined. The blended retirement system, why it’s dangerous without financial literacy, and what it means for younger service members. How military families can use benefits like the VA loan, GI Bill, and state education programs to build long‑term wealth instead of selling key assets. How MORE and programs like SkillBridge and GI Bill on‑the‑job training help veterans transition into real estate with a real runway instead of starting from zero. Top 3 Takeaways You do not need to start wealthy to build wealth; understanding budgeting, debt payoff, and compound interest is enough to change your financial trajectory. Military benefits like the VA home loan, education benefits, and the new blended retirement plan can be powerful wealth tools—but only if service members actually know they exist and how to use them. Real estate remains one of the strongest paths to long‑term wealth for veterans, especially when combined with VA loan strategies, house hacking, and guided transition programs into the industry. Notable Quotes "Everybody thinks you need to have wealth to build wealth—but you can come from nothing and still build a multi‑million‑dollar business."

    ]]>     2455 no     Make Money by Avoiding Gambling Debt In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric react to a call from The Ramsey Show with George Kamel and John Delony, where a 26-year-old caller wrestles with whether to wipe out his $20,000 savings to pay off credit card and truck debt. Using that scenario as a springboard, they dig into the psychology of safety, why cash in the bank feels like a “warm blanket,” and how to make smarter decisions about debt payoff and emergencies—without accidentally rebuilding high-interest debt later. The conversation eventually veers into gambling, new casino tech, and the dangerous allure of hooking your bank account up to slot machines and even Uno tables. On this episode we talk about: Why a $1,000 emergency fund often isn’t enough in real life, even if it sounds good on paper The tradeoff between aggressively attacking debt versus keeping meaningful cash reserves for job loss or life emergencies How gambling debt, sports betting, and new “bank-connected” casino tech can quietly wreck your finances Why having cash while still in debt can be a psychological trap—and why zero cash can be just as dangerous Creative ways to pay down car loans faster (without draining your savings) like extra jobs, lump-sum payments, and clear payoff rules Top 3 Takeaways Credit card debt should go first: if you have the cash to kill high-interest consumer debt—especially from gambling—do it quickly before it snowballs. Staying liquid matters: draining a $20,000 cushion down to $1,000 just to slightly lower a truck balance can backfire if you lose your job or get hit with real emergencies. Systems beat vibes: set clear rules (e.g., “everything above X in savings goes to the loan each quarter”) so you can both protect your downside and make real progress on debt. Notable Quotes "If you have credit card debt that lasts beyond a 30-day cycle, you’re using it wrong." "When you see cash in your account, you think it’s yours—but if you’re in debt, by definition, it’s not; it belongs to your creditors."

    ]]>     1406 no     Make Money with the Savannah Bananas In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric riff on the wild success of Jesse Cole and the Savannah Bananas, a baseball franchise that exploded by obsessing over fan experience instead of traditional revenue models. Using Jesse’s journey from near-bankruptcy to selling out NFL stadiums, they unpack how “fans first” thinking can transform any business, not just sports. On this episode we talk about: Why Jesse Cole eliminated every ad in the stadium and built a business that doesn’t rely on sponsorships How the Savannah Bananas turned low-level summer league baseball into a sellout national phenomenon The power (and risk) of saying no to traditional TV money and insisting on non‑exclusive broadcast deals Why most owners cling to short‑term cash (fees, sponsors, overpriced concessions) instead of long‑term fan loyalty How to apply “fans first” thinking in your own business by overdelivering value and playing a longer game Top 3 Takeaways When you truly put fans first—removing junk fees, overdelivering on experience, and making the product genuinely fun—you create word-of-mouth growth that no ad budget can buy. Long-term vision requires rejecting easy, short-term money; saying no to ads, exclusive rights, or bad-fit sponsorships can unlock far bigger upside later. Disruptors often look “insane” at first, but building for the next 10–20 years instead of the next 10–20 months is how you end up owning the category. Notable Quotes "Nobody walks into a ballpark saying, ‘I can’t wait to see what billboards they have in the outfield.’" "Most people would rather keep the sponsors and the processing fees than mortgage their house to build the experience they actually believe in." "If you massively overdeliver for the people already willing to part with their hard-earned dollars, it’s going to end up going pretty well for you." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1339 no     Make Money with Biblical Principles | Bishop Kevin Foreman Bishop Kevin Foreman is a visionary leader, entrepreneur, and wealth strategist who has generated and managed millions through ministry, real estate, coaching, and digital ventures. From pioneering his first business at 12 to building Denver’s largest Black-owned mortgage company and leading Harvest Church, he blends biblical principles with bold execution to help people break cycles of lack and step into abundance. On this episode we talk about: How Bishop Foreman combined a “Bible and briefcase” mindset from childhood into a life of purpose and profit Starting a first business at 12, pioneering a youth business loan program, and learning to “stack” cash early Building a multi-million-dollar mortgage company in his early 20s and navigating the 2000s housing collapse How painful pivots led to planting a debt-free church, Bible college, and a portfolio of M&A-driven businesses Why biographies, constant learning, and seeing yourself as a lifelong student are unfair advantages in life and business Top 3 Takeaways Faith and finances are not enemies: when money is treated as a tool for purpose, wealth-building becomes a spiritual assignment, not a selfish pursuit. Seasons of collapse and reinvention (like the mortgage crash) can be the catalyst that pushes you into your real calling—if you’re willing to pivot instead of panic. One of the most underutilized wealth vehicles is buying existing businesses: M&A lets you acquire cash flow, corporate credit, and teams instead of always starting from scratch. Notable Quotes "Money was a tool. Money was a resource. The purpose of obtaining wealth was what I would do with it, not just getting it for its own sake." "The idiot is the one that thinks they know everything. The smart guy sits there and listens as a student." "Sometimes the best move isn’t to build from nothing—it’s to buy what someone else already built and make it better."

From pioneering his first business at 12 to building Denver’s largest Black-owned mortgage company and leading Harvest Church, he blends biblical principles with bold execution to help people break cycles of lack and step into abundance. On this episode we talk about: How Bishop Foreman combined a “Bible and briefcase” mindset from childhood into a life of purpose and profit Starting a first business at 12, pioneering a youth business loan program, and learning to “stack” cash early Building a multi-million-dollar mortgage company in his early 20s and navigating the 2000s housing collapse How painful pivots led to planting a debt-free church, Bible college, and a portfolio of M&A-driven businesses Why biographies, constant learning, and seeing yourself as a lifelong student are unfair advantages in life and business Top 3 Takeaways Faith and finances are not enemies: when money is treated as a tool for purpose, wealth-building becomes a spiritual assignment, not a selfish pursuit. Seasons of collapse and reinvention (like the mortgage crash) can be the catalyst that pushes you into your real calling—if you’re willing to pivot instead of panic. One of the most underutilized wealth vehicles is buying existing businesses: M&A lets you acquire cash flow, corporate credit, and teams instead of always starting from scratch. Notable Quotes "Money was a tool. Money was a resource. The purpose of obtaining wealth was what I would do with it, not just getting it for its own sake."

Eric is a veteran content producer and host in his own right, bringing a creator’s eye for monetization strategies, niche positioning, and long-term brand building to the conversation.​ On this episode we talk about: Why a massive audience is not required to make a full-time income as a creator How brands are shifting ad dollars toward small and midsize, niche creators Real examples of niche creators making five figures per month with modest audiences Why CPMs/RPMs vary wildly by niche (finance vs comedy vs generic entertainment) How to think about “blue ocean” opportunities and combining niches like Chiefs + Swifties Top 3 Takeaways You can out-earn much bigger creators by going narrow: a small, high-intent, niche audience often monetizes better than a huge, generic one because sponsors know exactly who they’re reaching. Niche, high-ticket categories (brain health gear, vertical farming, audiophile equipment, real estate, finance) command far better ad rates and affiliate payouts than broad entertainment content. The real lever is fit, not fame: if your content solves a specific problem for a clearly defined group—and you either sell something yourself or attract aligned sponsors—you do not need a massive following to build a multi–six or seven-figure business. Notable Quotes "You don't need to have a million subscribers on YouTube to be able to make a full time income from doing YouTube videos." "Some people will have a half a million subscribers and make less than somebody with 15,000 subscribers, because it's in a very broad market that has really low RPMs." "Sometimes niching down means niching up—you can combine two things you care about and create a blue ocean where there’s literally no competition."​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.​ 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.​ 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis​ Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1412 no     Make Money with Strong Operations | Jason Haugen Travis sits down with long‑time friend and entrepreneur Jason Haugen to unpack the very real, very unsexy side of building and exiting a nine‑location RV dealership group that peaked at $100M a year—then got crushed by a 70% sales drop and exploding interest costs. After taking some time off, walking through his wife’s cancer battle, and licking his wounds, Jason is now co‑founder and CEO of Black Jet Ventures, acquiring and growing brands with a focus on operations, marketing, and sustainable profitability. On this episode we talk about: How Jason scaled from a few RV stores to nine locations and $100M+ in revenue—and what actually triggered his decision to sell The brutal reality of a market swing: going from 350–400 units a month to 100, floorplan interest jumping from ~$107k to ~$700k, and why revenue can hide operational inefficiencies Losing $20M, having an executive team walk out, sleeping at the office, and how he managed his mental health and focus through calls from the bank and constant crises Why he believes in “grow, then stabilize, then grow” (not growth at all costs), and how over‑expansion can kill a business even when top‑line numbers look impressive What Black Jet Ventures and Iconic Marketing do today—acquiring CPG and media brands, running a major golf‑focused content/marketing agency, and helping founders build real systems, not just hype Top 3 Takeaways Big revenue doesn’t equal real success; without tight operations, intentional growth phases, and clear profitability targets, you can “grow” your way straight into a cash‑flow crisis. Mental resilience in entrepreneurship comes from focusing only on what you can control, staying in motion, and building routines (like golf or other outlets) that let you reset even in the middle of chaos. Sustainable businesses are built by going deep, not just wide: simplifying SKUs, optimizing existing locations, and stabilizing systems before expanding again often leads to far better margins than chasing vanity scale. Notable Quotes “The best thing that ever happened to me was losing $20 million—because I get to take those lessons into everything I do now.” “You can’t grow and stabilize at the same time; you grow, then you stabilize, then you earn the right to grow again.” “If you’re not absolutely crushing it with three locations, adding six more isn’t going to save you—it’s just going to multiply your problems.” Connect with Jason Haugen: https://www.iamjasonhaugen.com/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1596 no     Make Money Faster with AI-Powered Movie Editing | Aden Bahadori & Brett Granstaff Aden Bahadori and Brett Granstaff join Travis to unpack how AI is about to change the economics of filmmaking and content creation. Aden is an award‑winning editor, post‑production engineer, and longtime Adobe advisor who has cut music videos, TV, and features; Brett is a veteran producer, writer, and actor, and the president/founder of Ridge Rock Entertainment Group with two decades in independent film. Together, they’re building Tachi‑AI, a human‑centric tool that automates the most tedious parts of editing so creatives can spend more time actually telling stories. On this episode we talk about: How Aden went from working for free on music videos to six figures by year two, and how Brett parlayed ADR gigs and “distressed” studio scripts into a producing career What producers actually do, why there are so many different producer credits, and the real split between creative vs. financial producers The origin of Tachi‑AI: Aden’s 2012 dream of an “auto‑edit” button, an early proof of concept (Fast Track), and why now is the moment to bring AI into post‑production How Tachi‑AI ingests raw footage and a script to generate multiple assembly edits—saving editors from hours of slogging through dailies and freeing them to focus on nuance, performance, and story Why they see AI as a creative utility (like AutoCAD for architects), the democratization of filmmaking, and how lower technical barriers can make story—not budget—the real differentiator Top 3 Takeaways The biggest immediate impact of AI in film will be in post‑production, where automating assembly edits and other technical grunt work gives editors and directors more time and energy for true creative decisions. As tools like Tachi‑AI spread, high‑quality visual storytelling will no longer be reserved for massive studio budgets; independent creators will be able to prototype and finish projects faster and cheaper than ever. AI will not replace filmmakers; it will reward those who learn to wield it—by treating it as an assistant that expands their capacity, not a shortcut that replaces taste, judgment, or original stories. Notable Quotes “Our goal isn’t to replace editors; it’s to give them their time and mojo back by killing the most tedious, technical parts of the job.” “Think of it like AutoCAD for filmmakers—the software doesn’t design the building for you, it just lets you explore way more options, way faster.” “As AI democratizes the creative process, the thing that wins isn’t the biggest budget anymore; it’s the strongest story and the most original point of view.” Connect with Tachi‑AI: Website: https://tachi-ai.com  ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Known globally as “The Retail Doctor,” Bob has spent decades turning around struggling stores, training more than 250,000 associates, and helping brands like LEGO, Seiko, and Yamaha boost sales with people‑first systems that actually work in the real world. On this episode we talk about: How a paper route, cowboy‑boot sales, and a near‑dead coffee shop across from Starbucks led Bob to create “The Retail Doctor” and land a New York Times business feature The turnaround of a Long Beach coffee roaster that was down 10% a year for eight straight years and facing two nearby Starbucks—and how Bob helped it grow 50% in year one, 40% in year two Why so many retailers die: undertrained staff, no standards, commoditized experiences, and leaders who think customers (not employees) are the “greatest asset” The future of brick‑and‑mortar vs. e‑commerce, why online sales have likely capped around 20%, and how physical stores can win by focusing on discovery, experience, and real conversations How retail work “normalizes” young people—teaching responsibility, resilience, and people skills—and why every aspiring entrepreneur should spend time on a sales floor Top 3 Takeaways Products and locations don’t win in retail—people do. Training front‑line associates to make shoppers feel seen, heard, and helped is the most reliable sales lever any store owner has. E‑commerce and AI will keep eating the easy, transactional parts of shopping, but brick‑and‑mortar thrives when it leans into what online can’t replicate: laughter, serendipity, and genuine human connection. If you’re serious about entrepreneurship, you should treat retail or customer‑facing work as a rite of passage; learning to open hearts and make someone else’s day is foundational to making serious money later. Notable Quotes “It doesn’t matter what I sell; it matters how the person feels when I’m standing in front of them.” “You’re known more for your compromises than for your successes—especially in how you treat your people.” “If you can’t get someone to open their heart to another human being, you’re not going to make money, no matter what business you’re in.” Connect with Bob Phibbs (The Retail Doctor): Website: https://www.retaildoc.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Training front‑line associates to make shoppers feel seen, heard, and helped is the most reliable sales lever any store owner has. E‑commerce and AI will keep eating the easy, transactional parts of shopping, but brick‑and‑mortar thrives when it leans into what online can’t replicate: laughter, serendipity, and genuine human connection. If you’re serious about entrepreneurship, you should treat retail or customer‑facing work as a rite of passage; learning to open hearts and make someone else’s day is foundational to making serious money later. Notable Quotes “It doesn’t matter what I sell; it matters how the person feels when I’m standing in front of them.” “You’re known more for your compromises than for your successes—especially in how you treat your people.” “If you can’t get someone to open their heart to another human being, you’re not going to make money, no matter what business you’re in.” Connect with Bob Phibbs (The Retail Doctor): Website: https://www.retaildoc.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1960 no     Make Money by Being Polarizing Travis and producer Eric dig into an old clip from 2019 where a 27‑year‑old Travis explains why polarizing beliefs and “true fans” are critical for creators and entrepreneurs. Using that as a jumping‑off point, they talk candidly about content, integrity, legacy, and what it means to build an audience your future kids can look up—and cringe—at. On this episode we talk about: Whether Travis still agrees with his past take that 100 “true fans” can fuel a multi‑seven‑figure business The difference between healthy polarization (clear beliefs and opinions) and cheap outrage or political hot‑takes How becoming a parent changed the way Travis thinks about what he says online and the digital footprint his kids will one day see The pressure and temptation to use extreme hooks (“you’ll never be a millionaire if…”) versus playing the long game with trust and authenticity Why Travis believes entrepreneurs who refuse to create content will be “left in the dust” over the next decade Top 3 Takeaways You don’t need millions of casual followers; a relatively small group of true fans who deeply trust you can support a highly profitable business. Being “polarizing” doesn’t require rage‑bait or politics—it means taking clear, defensible stances on ideas you actually believe, even if others disagree. As an entrepreneur, publishing content is no longer optional; showing up consistently online is becoming a baseline requirement for long‑term relevance and opportunity.

A former Wall Street attorney who spent decades representing clients burned by bad brokers, Daniel became a New York Times bestselling author of the “Smartest” series of investing books and now focuses on helping ordinary people outperform most professionals with a no‑nonsense, low‑cost strategy. On this episode we talk about: How 30 years as a securities lawyer opened Daniel’s eyes to how often brokers harm clients while putting their own commissions first Why most “experts” don’t actually know how to beat the market—and why the real experts are the researchers publishing peer‑reviewed data, not pundits on TV The core strategy: broad‑market index and ETF investing, keeping fees ultra‑low, not timing the market, and doing as little trading as possible Red flags when hiring an advisor, including complex portfolios, stock‑picking, market‑timing promises, and products stuffed with hidden costs and conflicts How to think about crypto, real estate, and other speculative plays versus your core, set‑it‑and‑forget‑it retirement portfolio Top 3 Takeaways Most people don’t need an advisor or a complex strategy; owning low‑cost, globally diversified index or ETF funds and leaving them alone will beat the vast majority of active managers over time. Fees, turnover, and advisor conflicts quietly erode returns; simple, transparent portfolios almost always outperform complicated, high‑fee “genius” strategies. Treat speculative assets like crypto or concentrated real estate deals as gambling with a small slice of your net worth—never as the foundation of your long‑term financial security. Notable Quotes “Investing is really simple: do as little as possible, ignore almost everything you see in the financial media, and capture the total return of the market at the lowest possible cost.” “Wall Street has a vested interest in making investing look complicated so you feel forced to use them—even though complexity usually just means higher fees and lower returns.” “If you buy one broad stock‑market fund and a short‑term Treasury fund in your 30s, then barely touch it for decades, you’ll likely beat 95% of professionally managed money.” Connect with Daniel Solin: https://danielsolin.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1657 no     Make Money Without Insane Car Payments and Destroying Relationships Travis brings producer Eric into the virtual studio for a late‑night, high‑energy reaction episode on how money, status, and expectations collide in modern relationships. Using viral clips about insane car payments, a rejected Walmart engagement ring, and a boyfriend insisting on separate finances and a prenup, they break down what these decisions reveal about values, red flags, and long‑term wealth building. On this episode we talk about: Why multi‑thousand‑dollar car payments are almost always a wealth killer, not a “flex” The viral story of a woman rejecting an $898 Walmart engagement ring and what it says about priorities How the wedding industry exploits “once in a lifetime” emotions and traps couples in years of debt When prenups make sense, what they actually do (vs. the myths), and why they’re different from keeping money separate Why shared financial values and a common mission matter more than ring size, wedding cost, or follower count Top 3 Takeaways Massive payments on depreciating assets like cars are usually a sign of poor financial priorities; if you want to build wealth, avoid over‑leveraging on status items. Engagement rings and weddings are symbols, not investments—if they’re forcing you into debt or exposing deep value misalignment, that’s a relationship red flag, not “romance.” A prenup can be smart planning, but separate finances inside a marriage often signal that you’re not truly on the same team; long‑term success requires a shared mission and transparent money conversations. Notable Quotes “If you want to build wealth, don’t get a $3,700 car payment—that’s not a flex, that’s financial self‑sabotage.” “You’re not owed a $10,000 ring or a six‑figure wedding—love doesn’t magically make more money appear.” “Marriage is a partnership and a shared mission; if you’re sharing a bed and kids but not money, something’s off.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1747 no     Make Money by Deleting Clubhouse Travis and producer Eric perform a tongue‑in‑cheek “autopsy” on the rise and fall of Clubhouse, revisiting a 2021 conversation with Jordan Harbinger where they questioned whether the app could ever compete with podcasting. They unpack why a product that looked brilliant on paper—and raised money at a $4B valuation—collapsed so quickly, and what creators, founders, and marketers should learn before betting their careers on the next hype platform. On this episode we talk about: What Clubhouse actually was (live, invite‑only audio rooms) and why early hype convinced many people it might “kill podcasting” Why Travis and Jordan were skeptical from the start: no on‑demand listening, chaotic audio quality, unqualified speakers, and a format that demanded hours of real‑time attention How follower counts and moderator status created a hollow, status‑driven game that rarely translated into real audience or revenue The psychological moment Travis realized the opportunity cost—half‑listening to a room while missing time with his infant son—and decided to walk away even if Clubhouse “won” How a few marketers did monetize the app (treating rooms like live webinars), and why podcasts and audiobooks still win for durable, compounding content and leverage Top 3 Takeaways Any platform that requires constant real‑time presence, but doesn’t create durable assets (episodes, clips, searchable archives), is risky as a primary growth strategy. Vanity metrics and FOMO can lure smart people into massive time sinks; always weigh status and follower counts against actual business outcomes and life trade‑offs. Long‑form, on‑demand media like podcasts remain powerful because they respect the listener’s time, allow deep preparation, and compound over years instead of disappearing after one live session. Notable Quotes “Clubhouse was like a podcast that doesn’t get recorded, done by everybody on AirPods, with eight unprepared guests, none of whom are qualified to talk.” “I realized I was half‑present with my son just to ‘be a mod’ and chase followers on an app that might not exist in a year—that was a terrible trade.” “Even if this is the next Instagram, I’m okay not ‘winning’ here if the time cost means sacrificing what actually matters.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1753 no     Make Money Knocking Doors in Solar | Steven Cohen Travis reconnects with long‑time friend and solar sales leader Steven Cohen to break down how door‑to‑door solar has created life‑changing income for thousands of reps—and why the recent merger of Sunder Energy with publicly traded SunPower has only strengthened that opportunity. From early days earning a few hundred dollars per kilowatt to today’s multi‑thousand‑dollar commissions, Steven explains how the industry has evolved, what the new legislation means, and why performance‑based sales is still one of the fastest paths out of a capped paycheck. On this episode we talk about: How Sunder Energy grew into one of the largest solar sales dealerships in the U.S. and why SunPower acquired it to power their third‑party ownership (TPO/lease/PPA) strategy going into 2026 What the recent “big, beautiful bill” did to tax credits, why homeowners will lose the 30% credit on ownership, and how finance companies now use that credit on TPO to lower customer costs Current solar commissions (often $700–$800+ per kW and even higher in some markets), realistic income potential for committed reps, and why many people are now earning the same money on less volume The realities of 100% commission work—no base, no benefits, but unlimited upside—and why solar, pest control, alarms, and similar models are better viewed as businesses than jobs How industry corrections, higher interest rates, and weak operators have shaken out tourists from solar—and why those who stay, build teams, and play the long game are best positioned for the next upswing Top 3 Takeaways Performance‑based sales can compress your earning timeline dramatically, but only if you treat it like a business, manage volatility, and stay in the game when conditions get hard instead of chasing the next “easy” industry. Door‑to‑door isn’t just about commission checks; it forges rare skills in communication, resilience, team building, and leadership that transfer to any future venture or career. Solar is still a long‑term growth industry despite short‑term corrections; as energy demand soars with AI, data centers, and crypto, those who remain and level up through this cycle are likely to benefit most from the next boom. Notable Quotes “Profits are better than wages—any time you can be paid on the value you create instead of the hours you clock, you give yourself a real shot at financial freedom.” “It’s never just about your comp plan; it’s about what you believe you’re worth and whether you’re willing to bet on your performance instead of your time.” “Most people play the finite game and quit when a cycle turns; if you can stay planted for a decade in the right vehicle, you usually win by simply outlasting everyone else.” Connect with Steven Cohen: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevencohen/?hl=en ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing on her journey from refugee child expelled from Bulgaria, to founder of a 25‑year‑old leather goods company, to PhD and entrepreneurship expert at Oxford University, Neri shares the eight principles from her book Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs and how any founder can apply them. On this episode we talk about: Neri’s family being expelled from Bulgaria with two suitcases, becoming refugees in Turkey, and how that shaped her obsession with education as a path to a better life Coming to the University of Miami at 18, discovering that the Intel chip in the computer lab was created by a refugee, and how that reframed her identity as an immigrant Launching a sustainable leather goods brand by repurposing surplus luxury Italian leather, and eventually manufacturing for houses like Prada and Miu Miu Why nearly half of Fortune 500 companies and the vast majority of billion‑dollar startups have immigrant founders or executives, and what she calls the eight “pioneer” principles behind that success How cross‑cultural bridging, future‑back vision, deep community orientation, humility, and a lack of entitlement help immigrant entrepreneurs spot opportunities and build companies that last Top 3 Takeaways Immigrant founders often win because they blend cultures, see problems from multiple vantage points, and design solutions informed by their past while building toward a very clear future vision. A strong sense of non‑entitlement—expecting to earn every opportunity—and humility in leadership (inviting employees, suppliers, and communities into the solution) are core to long‑term business resilience.

Riaz breaks down the craft of powerful conversations, drawing on his two decades as a TV host, human connection keynote speaker, and author of Every Conversation Counts. Known for helping leaders build meaningful relationships in a distracted, digital-first world, Riaz shares practical frameworks any creator, entrepreneur, or interviewer can use to unlock deeper stories and stronger trust with guests, clients, and audiences.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Riaz lost his first MTV Canada hosting job, what imposter syndrome looked like on camera, and how not burning bridges brought him back to the network later The mindset shift from “how do I look?” to “how do I light up the person watching?” and why focusing on the audience changes everything about how you show up How to “overprepare to improvise” so research gives you confidence, but listening and curiosity drive the actual conversation Simple phrasing shifts—like “tell me about,” “take me back,” and “set the scene”—that turn flat Q&A into emotional, story-rich dialogue Practical ways to ask for stories you “can’t Google,” especially with highly interviewed guests, and how that leads to more memorable content and relationships Top 3 Takeaways The best interviews prioritize the audience and the guest, not the host’s ego; your job is to unlock stories and insights that genuinely serve the listener.

    ]]>     1909 no     Make Money to Buy More Happiness Travis and producer Eric tackle one of the most common questions in personal finance and self‑help: can money really buy happiness? They dig into research on income and life satisfaction, talk through how money affects freedom and options, and explore cautionary tales of wealthy people who became slaves to greed. The conversation ultimately reframes money as a powerful tool—one that can remove money problems and expand your choices, but can’t fix who you are on the inside. On this episode we talk about: What happiness research actually says about income thresholds and why the happiness “boost” from more money flattens out once basic needs and comfort are met How money amplifies your character—making generous people more generous and greedy people more dangerous—and why being broke or rich can both turn you into a slave to money if you’re not careful Stories of investors and executives who risked everything for “one more” big win, versus those who hit their number and chose time, relationships, and impact over endless accumulation The idea that money only solves money problems—and why removing financial stress can free up mental and emotional bandwidth to work on purpose, relationships, health, and fulfillment Practical encouragement to pursue wealth unapologetically while simultaneously working on your mindset, values, and skills so you can handle money well when it arrives Top 3 Takeaways Money doesn’t directly buy happiness beyond a certain baseline, but it absolutely buys options, time, and stress relief—all of which make it easier to pursue the things that do drive long‑term happiness. You can be equally enslaved to money whether you have none or have a lot; the difference is whether you control money as a tool or let it control your decisions, identity, and integrity. The healthiest path is to grow your character and your net worth at the same time—so that when you do become wealthy, you’re the kind of person who uses that wealth to improve life for yourself and others. Notable Quotes "If you’re going to be unhappy, you’d rather be unhappy with money than without it—but the real win is using money to remove money problems so you can focus on everything else." "Money is just an amplifier; if you’re a crappy person, money will make you a crappier person. If you’re a good person, money will make you a better version of yourself."

    ]]>     1210 no     Make Money by Becoming Non‑Needy | Keith Yackey Keith Yackey joins Travis to talk about the surprising overlap between making more money and having a thriving marriage. A former contractor, pastor, and real estate investor who built a seven‑figure online business in 14 months, Keith now runs Married Game, where he helps men become the most attractive version of themselves for themselves—and, as a byproduct, for their wives. From proof‑of‑funds tools in real estate to high‑ticket relationship coaching, Keith has consistently turned conviction, collaboration, and personal transformation into serious income.​ On this episode we talk about: How Keith turned a painful separation from his wife Jessi into the foundation for Married Game and a business built on leading from what he actually lives​ The real estate proof‑of‑funds service that became his “easiest $2 million” and what it taught him about solving specific problems for existing audiences​ Why he believes being rich can be one of the most spiritual journeys you can pursue, especially if you grew up with “money is evil” messaging in church culture​ The mindset shift from needing to impress others to simply doing what you say you’ll do, paying people fast, and becoming radically non‑needy in business and relationships​ How surrounding himself with wealthier friends, adopting a white‑belt mentality, and paying off a 14‑year‑old $50k debt at a doorstep full of family changed his internal peace and external opportunities​ Top 3 Takeaways The same skills that make you good at business—having a great product, serving people well, taking responsibility—also make you good at marriage; most men simply refuse to apply them at home.​ Money is a neutral amplifier and a scoreboard for value at scale; mastering it lets you contribute more to the causes and people you care about, instead of being a lifelong slave to financial stress.​ Non‑neediness is a cheat code: when you keep your word, pay people quickly, and detach from impressing others, you become more attractive to high‑level partners, clients, and friends.​ Notable Quotes “If you believed about business what most people believe about marriage—that it just gets worse after a couple of years—you’d never invest a dime in a company.”​ “Being rich might be one of the most spiritual journeys you can go on, because it forces you to become more valuable to the people around you.”​ “Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it, without fault—that one rule has built my reputation and set me free.”​ Connect with Keith Yackey: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithyackey​ Married Game: https://marriedgame.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

From proof‑of‑funds tools in real estate to high‑ticket relationship coaching, Keith has consistently turned conviction, collaboration, and personal transformation into serious income.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • How Keith turned a painful separation from his wife Jessi into the foundation for Married Game and a business built on leading from what he actually lives​

    • The real estate proof‑of‑funds service that became his “easiest $2 million” and what it taught him about solving specific problems for existing audiences​

    • Why he believes being rich can be one of the most spiritual journeys you can pursue, especially if you grew up with “money is evil” messaging in church culture​

    • The mindset shift from needing to impress others to simply doing what you say you’ll do, paying people fast, and becoming radically non‑needy in business and relationships​

    • How surrounding himself with wealthier friends, adopting a white‑belt mentality, and paying off a 14‑year‑old $50k debt at a doorstep full of family changed his internal peace and external opportunities​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. The same skills that make you good at business—having a great product, serving people well, taking responsibility—also make you good at marriage; most men simply refuse to apply them at home.​

    2. Money is a neutral amplifier and a scoreboard for value at scale; mastering it lets you contribute more to the causes and people you care about, instead of being a lifelong slave to financial stress.​

    3. Non‑neediness is a cheat code: when you keep your word, pay people quickly, and detach from impressing others, you become more attractive to high‑level partners, clients, and friends.​

    Notable Quotes

    • “If you believed about business what most people believe about marriage—that it just gets worse after a couple of years—you’d never invest a dime in a company.”​

    • “Being rich might be one of the most spiritual journeys you can go on, because it forces you to become more valuable to the people around you.”​

    • “Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it, without fault—that one rule has built my reputation and set me free.”​

    ]]>     2175 no     Make Money by Avoiding Lifestyle Creep Travis and producer Eric break down how “lifestyle creep” quietly traps people in careers and businesses they don’t even like. Using Travis’s own journey—from upgrading houses and stuffing the biggest U‑Haul available, to downsizing into an 800 sq ft apartment with his brother‑in‑law so he could rebuild—this episode shows how controlling lifestyle and expenses can buy the freedom to switch careers, start a business, and actually enjoy the process. On this episode we talk about: How innocently “just upgrading a little” turns into bigger houses, pools, and piles of stuff that quietly dictate your career choices The story of walking away from a big Vegas house, throwing away and selling most possessions, and moving into a tiny apartment to make room for a new business chapter The real cost of “nice things” like backyard pools—and how ongoing utilities, maintenance, and repairs add up far beyond the install price Why most people use money from work they dislike to finance a lifestyle they don’t really care about, locking themselves into golden handcuffs Practical ways to improve your lifestyle without killing your margin for growth, including setting income/expense targets and channeling surplus into skills, networks, and investments Top 3 Takeaways If you don’t consciously tell your money where to go, lifestyle creep will decide for you—there is always a nicer car, neighborhood, or upgrade waiting to absorb the raise you just got. Freedom comes from the gap between what you earn and what you spend; increasing income only helps if you keep your lifestyle intentionally below your means and invest the difference. You can have most of what you want—just not all of it right now; delaying some gratification to build skills, relationships, and assets can compress your timeline to real wealth by decades. Notable Quotes "If you don’t give your money a job, it will start doing whatever it wants—usually in the form of upgrades you didn’t actually need." "Most people are doing work they don’t like to pay for a lifestyle that doesn’t really matter to them, and that trade keeps them stuck." "Your attitude matters more than your circumstances; plenty of people with far less than you are far happier, because they’re not trying to impress anyone." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1241 no     Make Money with Predictable Profits | Charles Gaudet Travis sits down with entrepreneur and “CEO Whisperer” Charles Gaudet, founder and CEO of Predictable Profits, to unpack how real momentum—not just ideas—creates lasting success. From launching his first “business” at four years old to building a multimillion‑dollar company in his twenties and helping clients add over $100M in revenue, Charles explains why most owners cap out on hard work, how to think about setbacks, and why—if he started over today—he’d buy a business instead of starting from scratch. On this episode we talk about: Charles’s early exposure to entrepreneurship through his father, his first art “business” at age four, and the conviction it took to ignore college pressure to get a job Why entrepreneurship is a springboard—up, down, then higher up again—and how your peer group and spouse can either pull you back to “70 degrees” or push you into your next level The difference between treating setbacks as proof you should quit versus training yourself to ask, “Why could this be the best thing that’s happening to me right now?” How consistent, imperfect action and momentum beat “perfect strategies,” and why most owners stall when they rely only on hard work, word of mouth, and referrals Why Charles would buy a business today instead of starting one, what he looks for in acquisitions (recurring revenue, low owner dependency, scalable marketing), and how that compares to real estate’s capped returns Top 3 Takeaways Sustainable success is driven by momentum, not a single “genius idea”—showing up consistently, tracking what works, and compounding small wins eventually creates the “overnight” avalanche. Who you surround yourself with matters: if your circle sits at “70 degrees,” they will unconsciously pull you back whenever you try to cool off or heat up, so keep upgrading your peer group and protect your mindset. Buying a business can be a faster path to income and upside than starting from zero, especially when you acquire existing cash flow, systems, and recurring revenue that can be scaled rather than built from scratch. Notable Quotes "A business doesn’t succeed or fail because of a good idea or a bad idea—it lives or dies on momentum."

    ]]>     1777 no     Make Money Getting Started in Real Estate (Without Waiting for the “Perfect” Deal) Travis and Eric sit down for a candid conversation about how beginners should actually get started in real estate—without overthinking strategy or blindly trusting gurus. Drawing on Travis’s own “real estate dabbler” experience and recent insights from billion‑dollar multifamily operator Veena Jetti, they break down mindset, risk, education, and why doing a small, imperfect first deal usually beats sitting on the sidelines. On this episode we talk about: Why there’s so much conflicting advice on “where to start” (house hack, flip, small multifamily, or go straight to big apartments) Veena Jetti’s perspective on skipping single‑family and going directly into multifamily—and when that’s realistic versus paralyzing Creative ways to get into deals without being the one writing the big check, from finding and structuring deals to partnering and earning equity The risks of trusting operators you don’t understand, the importance of knowing how the deal makes money, and why “just give it to the expert” can backfire How Airbnb shifted from easy arbitrage to a hospitality business, and why hotels and experiential short‑term rentals may now have the edge Top 3 Takeaways The best “first strategy” is the one you will actually execute; do a real deal—any reasonable, understandable deal—rather than spending years trying to pick the perfect niche. Never invest in a deal you can’t clearly explain, especially when you’re handing money to an operator; understand how value is created, where it can break, and what your actual risk is. Real estate is a business, not a magic passive ATM: whether it’s multifamily, flips, or Airbnb, expect real work, real learning, and some paid tuition in the form of mistakes along the way. Notable Quotes "If you sit on the sidelines trying to decide your strategy for five years, you’re losing money and time—go do something." "Don’t assume that because someone knows more than you, they know everything; if you can’t explain how the deal makes money, you shouldn’t be wiring money into it."

On this episode we talk about: How Ryan’s early trading and acting work out of college built the financial runway and mindset he needed to pursue creative projects What acting teaches about rejection, resilience, and treating yourself as a business—and how those lessons transfer directly into startups and fundraising The origin story of AthleteAgent.com, modeled after IMDb but built to centralize athlete data, representation info, and off‑field opportunities Why most athletes beyond the top 1% are massively under‑monetized, and how better visibility can unlock endorsements, podcast bookings, investments, and partnerships The realities of building a tech platform from scratch—finding dev teams, talking to 100+ investors, and expanding from 10 sports toward a global, 50+ sport footprint Top 3 Takeaways Acting and entrepreneurship share the same core skill: moving from “no” to “no” without losing enthusiasm, while treating every experience as training for the next opportunity. Athletes are brands, and most are dramatically under‑leveraged off the field; centralized, accurate data and contact info unlocks deals for the other 99%, not just superstars. Long‑term success often comes from repurposing skills and networks—Ryan used his IMDb experience, sports relationships, and business training to spot an obvious gap and fill it with AthleteAgent.com. Notable Quotes "As an actor, you are your own business—rejection is daily, and your job is to keep showing up until the right role hits." "IMDb changed my acting career because people could actually find my reps; I realized nothing like that existed for athletes." "We didn’t build AthleteAgent for the top 1%—we built it so the other 99% can finally be found, booked, and paid."

Coming from nearly 20 years in policing—including K‑9, undercover surveillance, and leading a tactical team—Todd shares how a backyard “redneck margarita maker” on eBay pulled him into the online world, and how he navigated the evolution from info products and VSLs to a durable, compliant brand with repeat buyers and lean operations.​ On this episode we talk about: Todd’s path from young dad to military, commercial diving, policing, and eventually leading a SWAT (tactical) team before retiring into entrepreneurship​ The first spark: building a DIY margarita machine, selling the plans on eBay in 2003, and realizing the internet could be a real business engine​ Launching fitness and jiu-jitsu funnels, the breakout success of Alpha and flat-belly tea, and the shift from all-affiliate direct response to owning the traffic and the brand​ The difference between direct response and e‑commerce—emotional VSLs versus longer-tail, brand-led journeys—and what that means for refunds, customer quality, and compliance​ Why Todd transitioned early into e‑com, how affiliate abuse blew up his domain reputation, and what it took to rebuild as a white-glove, exit-ready brand run lean by a small, trusted team​ Top 3 Takeaways A “safe” career and lack of entrepreneurial pedigree do not disqualify you; Todd built a nine-figure track record starting as a young dad in the military and then a career cop who experimented online in his spare time.​ Direct response can scale fast, but it comes with higher refunds, compliance risk, volatile affiliate traffic, and brand damage; shifting to thoughtful e‑commerce with strong customer experience creates long-term value and optionality for exit.​ Building lean with people you trust, focusing on LTV, repeat customers, and careful email practices turns a cash-flow machine into an asset that works whether or not you ever decide to sell.​ Notable Quotes "No house with a swimming pool is complete without a margarita maker—and that little eBay experiment made me realize what was possible online." "Direct response is like turning a stranger into a buyer in one emotional shot; e‑com is a longer, more elegant and thoughtful journey."

Harvey shares how early bets on Apple, Google, Tesla, and Bitcoin shaped his philosophy, why he now builds long-term in his own exchange, and how everyday investors can navigate crypto volatility with less emotion and more strategy. On this episode we talk about: Harvey’s journey from gaming-obsessed kid in China to computer scientist, MBA, and venture capitalist in Beijing’s early crypto scene Early wins and regrets: buying Apple, Google, Tesla, and Bitcoin early—and selling far too soon Core lessons about long-term thinking, missing “basic financial knowledge,” and why he builds for durability instead of quick flips Why he’s still bullish on Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and government money-printing, despite current bearish price action Practical strategies like dollar-cost averaging, avoiding over-leverage, and how AI, CBDCs, and stablecoins may shape crypto’s future Top 3 Takeaways Spotting disruptive tech early is powerful, but without deep understanding and a long-term framework, it’s easy to sell too soon and miss the biggest upside. In a highly leveraged, volatile market like crypto, simple principles—no over-leverage, clear profit targets, and dollar-cost averaging—matter more than chasing the perfect entry. Bitcoin increasingly functions as “digital gold” and a hedge against inflation and fiat debasement, while stablecoins and CBDCs show how blockchain rails will power everyday money movement in the future. Notable Quotes "Taking profit at your set goals is never wrong—you don’t go bankrupt by taking profit, you go bankrupt by over-leveraging." "Bitcoin started as a gamble when nobody understood it, but with institutions in the game it has become a long-term hedge against inflation and money printing."

They dig into the real difference between owning a business and just owning your job, what it means to be a “wantrepreneur” versus an entrepreneur, and how to finally pull the trigger on the business you keep talking about starting. On this episode we talk about:   Why Travis doesn’t care what people call themselves—CEO, founder, entrepreneur—and why titles rarely matter if you’re doing the work   The practical difference between owning a true business and simply owning a job that can’t run without you   How privilege and status games show up when people mock small business owners for using “big” titles   The idea of the “wantrepreneur” (someone who only reads, talks, and dreams about business but never starts)   How to set a deadline, ship something, and stop waiting for the mythical “perfect time” to launch Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Titles are mostly a distraction; what matters is whether the business can operate, produce value, and cash flow with or without you.2.  If your business completely depends on you to function, you don’t yet own a business—you own a job, and you’re still trading time for money.3.  If you know you want to be in business, set a clear launch date for a specific offer and execute; every month you delay is costing you time, money, and momentum.

His work has been featured in major outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and The Atlantic, making him a rare blend of deep technical expertise and real-world business impact.​ On this episode we talk about: Why traditional hiring processes are riddled with bias, how data-driven models outperform “gut feel,” and surprising predictors of performance like browser choice and employment history patterns.​ How business owners can start using AI today to buy back time, automate repetitive work, personalize outreach at scale, and treat AI as a strategic thought partner instead of just a better search box.​ The core ideas behind Future Proof—why most AI content is too technical, how Michael translates it for non-technical leaders, and why ignoring AI now is like refusing to build a website or adopt social media 10–15 years ago.​​ How AI-ccelerator uses live keynotes and hands-on workshops to help teams build real outputs—like pitch decks and go-to-market plans—in 90 minutes instead of weeks.​ Where AI is headed next, how it will disrupt agencies and creative work, and why founders should imagine how a brand-new “AI-native” competitor would rebuild their business model from scratch.​ Top 3 Takeaways AI isn’t just a tool for writing emails or posts; used correctly, it becomes a data-driven board member that helps you make sharper strategic decisions and challenge your own thinking.​ Companies that delay AI adoption risk being blindsided by AI-native competitors who use automation, synthetic data, and smarter decision systems to deliver better results at lower cost.​ The biggest barrier is not the technology but people—getting teams to experiment, build literacy, and embed AI into workflows so it actually drives revenue and efficiency.​ Notable Quotes “Algorithms, when designed correctly, don’t care where you went to school or who you play squash with—they care whether you’re actually the right fit for the job.”​ “Most leaders are using AI like a fancy spell-checker for emails when they should be treating it like a strategic thought partner sitting at the boardroom table.”​ “If you were starting your business from scratch today as an AI-native company, you’d design it completely differently—and that imaginary competitor is exactly who’s coming for your lunch.”​ Connect with Dr. Michael Housman: Website: https://michaelhousman.com​ AI-ccelerator (consulting & education): https://ai-ccelerator.com​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Why traditional hiring processes are riddled with bias, how data-driven models outperform “gut feel,” and surprising predictors of performance like browser choice and employment history patterns.​

    • How business owners can start using AI today to buy back time, automate repetitive work, personalize outreach at scale, and treat AI as a strategic thought partner instead of just a better search box.​

    • The core ideas behind Future Proof—why most AI content is too technical, how Michael translates it for non-technical leaders, and why ignoring AI now is like refusing to build a website or adopt social media 10–15 years ago.​​

    • How AI-ccelerator uses live keynotes and hands-on workshops to help teams build real outputs—like pitch decks and go-to-market plans—in 90 minutes instead of weeks.​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. AI isn’t just a tool for writing emails or posts; used correctly, it becomes a data-driven board member that helps you make sharper strategic decisions and challenge your own thinking.​

    2. Companies that delay AI adoption risk being blindsided by AI-native competitors who use automation, synthetic data, and smarter decision systems to deliver better results at lower cost.​

    ]]>     1582 no     Make Money by Pricing Yourself Correctly In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down how to think about pricing across products and services so you stop guessing, undercharging, or racing competitors to the bottom. They walk through how to find a healthy price point, when to go premium instead of cheap, and why your rates should reflect the value and outcomes you deliver—not how long the work takes. On this episode we talk about: Why “charge what you’re worth” is useless advice without understanding perceived value, buyer outcomes, and your actual close rate. How to think about pricing physical products, when to follow the market, and when to intentionally position yourself as the premium option. Using close-rate percentages as a feedback loop to know when you’re underpriced, fairly priced, or simply bad at sales and positioning. Why hourly billing traps service providers and creatives, and how to shift into offer-based, results-based pricing instead. The importance of early testing, discounted beta clients, and iterating your prices up as demand and proof-of-results increase. Top 3 Takeaways Stop tying your prices to hours and start tying them to outcomes; clients pay for a result, not your calendar time. Use your sales close rate as a live diagnostic: very high close rates usually mean you’re underpriced, not “amazing at sales.” Early on, treat your pricing as a test—get paying clients, prove the result, then ratchet prices up until you encounter meaningful resistance. Notable Quotes “There’s no prize for being the second-cheapest option, but there is a real advantage to being the most expensive with a better offer.” “It doesn’t matter if it takes you 30 minutes or three months—the value is the value, and the client is paying for the result.” “Selling your time by the hour lets people rent you; selling offers and outcomes is what eventually buys your time freedom.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

He talks about learning business the hard way as a creative, navigating burnout and feast‑or‑famine freelance cycles, and then spending seven months using AI and no‑code tools to ship a real SaaS product for his own industry. On this episode we talk about:   Growing up in a ministry “bubble” and how Drew slowly leaned into photography and filmmaking   Building a freelance video business serving churches, nonprofits, and commercial clients   Discovering AI/no‑code app tools and deciding to build Atlas for filmmakers   Product–market fit, MVPs, and iterating based on user feedback instead of over‑polishing   Why creators need to think like entrepreneurs and how to escape the freelance hamster wheel Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Creatives who want to go full‑time have to think in systems, margins, and client outcomes—not just in terms of making beautiful work.2.  You do not need a massive dev team to validate a software idea; a scrappy, AI‑assisted MVP is enough to start selling and get real feedback.3.  The most sustainable path is often using your high‑ticket services as a cash‑flow engine while you build scalable products that can eventually overtake client work. Notable Quotes   "You have to lead with how you’re solving the client’s problem, not just how good your video looks."   "If everyone has the cheat codes with AI, it stops being cheating—it’s just who executes better and faster."   "Most creatives are trying to impress other creatives instead of building something that actually moves the needle for a client."

    ]]>     1810 no     Make Money by Making Introductions Travis and producer Eric break down the real skills behind meaningful networking, from first impressions and handshakes to group text intros and double opt-ins. They explore how to treat “networking” like making real friends, why bad introductions can damage trust, and how to thoughtfully connect people in a way that actually adds value. This episode is a tactical, relatable guide to becoming someone others are genuinely glad to meet and be introduced to. On this episode we talk about: Why basic body language, eye contact, and a simple “Hi, I’m Travis” beat over-rehearsed pitches when you meet someone new. How to navigate handshakes, daps, and hugs without creating awkward moments (or accidental crotch-hand sandwiches). Why networking events feel sleazy when you treat them like in‑person cold calling and how to shift into genuine curiosity and friendship-building. The right way to stay in touch—why business cards usually suck, and why Instagram or phone numbers are better for real follow‑up. How to make introductions the right way using “double opt‑in” intros, proper context, and thoughtful framing so both people feel respected and excited. Top 3 Takeaways Great first impressions are mostly about energy, body language, and making people feel good—not delivering the perfect elevator pitch. Treat networking like making friends: ask genuine questions, listen closely, look for common ground, and resist the urge to immediately pitch or sell. Introductions are powerful value-adds only when you get consent from both sides and frame the connection with context that makes each person look like the best version of themselves. Notable Quotes “People won’t remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel after meeting you.” “Going to events and treating every human like a prospect is the fastest way to make sure nobody actually wants to talk to you.” “Always get the double opt‑in on intros—otherwise you’re not adding value, you’re just creating awkward obligations for your friends.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1442 no     Make Money By Mastering Boring Consistency | Jimmy Rex Jimmy Rex is a top-producing former real estate agent who closed over 400 transactions in his final year in the business and built a portfolio of more than 50 investment properties. He now runs “We Are The They,” a men’s mastermind and leadership group focused on helping high-performing entrepreneurs build better lives, not just bigger businesses, through experiences, coaching, and community. Jimmy is known for his relentless work ethic, his willingness to say what others won’t, and his ability to both make money and put it to work through disciplined investing.​ On this episode we talk about: Growing up broke, getting the entrepreneurial itch early, and how selling lemonade and T‑shirts as a kid shaped Jimmy’s sales mindset.​ Using a Mormon mission and door‑to‑door meat sales as “the world’s greatest sales training program” and how that translated into real estate success.​ The exact prospecting systems, scripts, and daily routines that took Jimmy from a few closings to 60–98 homes per year and 400+ annual transactions with his team.​ Why most agents and entrepreneurs hide in “creative avoidance,” how to fall in love with boring consistency, and why a ruthless 3‑hour daily prospecting block changes everything.​ Lessons from losing big in private deals, why Jimmy now favors index funds and real estate over chasing “sexy” investments, and how he’d rebuild from zero in 2–3 years through sales.​ Top 3 Takeaways Boring, consistent effort beats talent; a simple plan executed every day—like 3 hours of focused prospecting—will outperform almost everyone who won’t do the work.​ Sales is the most portable money-making skill; if you can sell and you’re willing to outwork others, you can rebuild your life in any market or industry.​ For most people, slow and steady investing in real estate and broad index funds will outperform gambling on private deals, meme coins, or “hot” opportunities driven by FOMO.​ Notable Quotes “Successful people have merely learned to do the things that unsuccessful people don’t want to do.”​ “Fall in love with the monotonous routine; the grind itself has to be the win, not just the outcome.”​ “If you’re not making at least 200 grand a year, your best investment isn’t the stock market—it’s your own skills and your network.”​ Connect with Jimmy Rex: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyrex​ Twitter/X: https://x.com/JimmyRex​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjimmyrex​​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Jimmy is known for his relentless work ethic, his willingness to say what others won’t, and his ability to both make money and put it to work through disciplined investing.​

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Growing up broke, getting the entrepreneurial itch early, and how selling lemonade and T‑shirts as a kid shaped Jimmy’s sales mindset.​

    • Using a Mormon mission and door‑to‑door meat sales as “the world’s greatest sales training program” and how that translated into real estate success.​

    • The exact prospecting systems, scripts, and daily routines that took Jimmy from a few closings to 60–98 homes per year and 400+ annual transactions with his team.​

    • Why most agents and entrepreneurs hide in “creative avoidance,” how to fall in love with boring consistency, and why a ruthless 3‑hour daily prospecting block changes everything.​

    • Lessons from losing big in private deals, why Jimmy now favors index funds and real estate over chasing “sexy” investments, and how he’d rebuild from zero in 2–3 years through sales.​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Boring, consistent effort beats talent; a simple plan executed every day—like 3 hours of focused prospecting—will outperform almost everyone who won’t do the work.​

    2. Sales is the most portable money-making skill; if you can sell and you’re willing to outwork others, you can rebuild your life in any market or industry.​

    3. For most people, slow and steady investing in real estate and broad index funds will outperform gambling on private deals, meme coins, or “hot” opportunities driven by FOMO.​

    Notable Quotes

    • “Successful people have merely learned to do the things that unsuccessful people don’t want to do.”​

    • “Fall in love with the monotonous routine; the grind itself has to be the win, not just the outcome.”​

    • “If you’re not making at least 200 grand a year, your best investment isn’t the stock market—it’s your own skills and your network.”​

    ]]>     2161 no     Make Money by Speaking on Stages Travis sits down with his producer Eric for a fun, practical breakdown of whether speaking at events is actually worth it for entrepreneurs and creators. From horror-movie cold opens to hard-nosed math on time, travel, and ROI, this episode digs into when to say yes to a stage, when to walk away, and how to think about “paid to speak” vs “pay to speak” opportunities in a sane, strategic way. On this episode we talk about: Whether speaking at events is a vanity play or a real growth lever for your business How your goals (professional speaker vs business owner vs personal brand builder) change the calculus on saying yes to a stage The tradeoffs between local, niche rooms and big stages with thousands of people Hidden costs of speaking—travel, lost work time, opportunity cost—and how to factor them in When it can actually make sense to pay to be on stage and how to evaluate those offers like ad spend Top 3 Takeaways Speaking is almost always valuable if it aligns with a clear goal—professional speaking, lead gen, or brand building—but not every stage is worth your time. Quality of the room (who’s in the audience, who’s hosting, who’s backstage) beats quantity of people; a small room of serious buyers can outperform a crowd of thousands. Paying to be on stage isn’t inherently a scam—it’s a marketing decision; you need clear numbers, clear expectations, and a plan to work the room and follow up afterward. Notable Quotes "It depends on your goal—if you want to be a professional speaker, you should be on any stage that’ll have you." "Sometimes 22 multi-millionaires in a small room are a better use of time than 2,000 random people in an arena." "Once you’re paying to speak, it’s not magic anymore—it’s just ad spend, and you’ve got to treat it like a marketing channel." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Instead of featuring an external guest, this episode turns the spotlight on Travis’s own mindset around regret, failure, and what he wishes he’d stop (and keep) doing in business and life. On this episode we talk about: How the “rocking chair test” helps you see your current life from the perspective of your 88–108-year-old self Why most people regret what they didn’t do more than what they did “wrong” Travis’s tendency to downplay wins, fixate on failures, and how that has held him back How his upbringing and internalized beliefs still shape his self-talk and response to criticism The story of building a 7-figure business, losing it, and struggling to own his successes afterward Why podcasting is the thing he’s most proud he stuck with, despite years of low direct financial return The tension between chasing novelty and doubling down on what you’re genuinely great at Using your future self as a filter to judge fears about embarrassment, judgment, and starting over How meditating on death and limited time can create urgency to take bigger swings now Top 3 Takeaways Your future self will almost always regret the risks you never took more than the attempts that didn’t work out. Fixating on failures while dismissing your wins can quietly cap your potential, even when you’ve built real results.

    ]]>     1224 no     Make Money with Self Storage | Fernando Angelucci Fernando Angelucci is a self-storage investor and syndicator who’s transacted on over $200M worth of self-storage facilities across dozens of states in just six years. After starting in house painting, flipping, and multifamily, he ditched the “three T’s” (tenants, toilets, trash) and went all-in on self storage, where he now specializes in wholesaling, value-add deals, and creative seller-financed structures—while spending most of the year living abroad.​ On this episode we talk about: Fernando’s journey from immigrant parents and a Fortune 50 corporate job to full-time real estate investor How he used 60 credit cards and $97K in high-interest debt to launch his flipping business (and why he doesn’t recommend it) Why he pivoted from flipping and rentals into self storage and what makes the asset class so attractive How to wholesale self-storage deals step-by-step, from building lists to skip tracing to talking with owners The key underwriting metrics he uses (supply index, price per square foot, occupancy, and competition) How he structures creative seller-financed deals (multiple offer structures, master lease options, and more) The importance of reps, rejection, accountability, and public goals in getting your first deal done Top 3 Takeaways Self storage is a powerful, scalable niche. With roughly two-thirds of facilities owned by mom-and-pop operators, there’s a massive opportunity to buy under-managed properties, modernize operations (web presence, pricing, tech), and quickly increase NOI. Wholesaling self storage is a low-capital way to start. By buying data, skip tracing owners, building relationships, and assigning contracts, you can generate large fees without taking title or raising huge amounts of capital—while learning the business from inside the deal flow. Creative financing unlocks deals banks won’t touch. By really listening to an owner’s “why” (retirement income, grandkids’ tuition, travel), you can craft seller-financed structures, second-position notes, and master leases that solve their problem and allow you to acquire cash-flowing assets with minimal money down. Notable Quotes “Once you get comfortable with people saying no and failure, then you just realize it’s reps. That’s all you gotta do—reps.” “If you’re always 100% full, that’s not a good thing in self storage. It means your rents are too low.” “Too many people rush to get a contract.

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Self storage is a powerful, scalable niche. With roughly two-thirds of facilities owned by mom-and-pop operators, there’s a massive opportunity to buy under-managed properties, modernize operations (web presence, pricing, tech), and quickly increase NOI.

    2. Wholesaling self storage is a low-capital way to start. By buying data, skip tracing owners, building relationships, and assigning contracts, you can generate large fees without taking title or raising huge amounts of capital—while learning the business from inside the deal flow.

    3. Creative financing unlocks deals banks won’t touch. By really listening to an owner’s “why” (retirement income, grandkids’ tuition, travel), you can craft seller-financed structures, second-position notes, and master leases that solve their problem and allow you to acquire cash-flowing assets with minimal money down.

    Notable Quotes

    • “Once you get comfortable with people saying no and failure, then you just realize it’s reps. That’s all you gotta do—reps.”

    • “If you’re always 100% full, that’s not a good thing in self storage. It means your rents are too low.”

    • “Too many people rush to get a contract. Slow down and find the why behind the why—then structure the deal around that.”

Jesse is a multi-exit tech entrepreneur turned YouTube creator behind “Jesse ON FIRE,” while Gabi is a hormone and cortisol-focused coach and social seller who built a thriving business from scratch using short-form content.​​ On this episode we talk about: How Jesse went from teen restaurant jobs to real estate, loans, a sports gaming startup, and ultimately a brutal acquisition that wiped out his stock and forced bankruptcy What it was like for Gabi to be pregnant with their third child, unable to practice acupuncture in a new state, and staring down six-figure student loans while deciding to jump into social selling How they rebuilt from absolute zero to over $140K/month in combined income by focusing on liquid wealth, real estate, and avoiding flashy lifestyle creep The content strategies behind “Jesse ON FIRE” and Gabi’s Instagram/TikTok growth: niche selection, volume, repelling to attract, and showing up as an amplified version of yourself on camera Why most creators fail because they underestimate the time horizon (at least a year) and posting volume required before platforms reward them with real reach Top 3 Takeaways Rebuilding from zero is possible if you’re willing to kill your ego, take the “soul-sucking” job when necessary, and then methodically build leverage through content and business again.

    ]]>     1582 no     Make Money with a Multimillion Dollar Real Estate Portfolio | Natalie Cloutier French-Canadian real estate investor, designer, and developer Natalie Cloutier shares how she and her husband Rob went from broke 20-year-olds in a basement condo to building 50+ rental units and a multimillion-dollar portfolio using a no-money-down build-to-rent strategy. With a background in architectural technology and a focus on new construction, Natalie has turned sweat equity and creative financing into a full-time business, and recently distilled her approach into her book, “The Build-to-Rent Strategy: A Guide to a Successful Rental Property Construction.”​ On this episode we talk about: How Natalie and Rob built their first home and basement rental suite with essentially $0 down using sweat equity and construction financing The mechanics of build-to-rent/“BRRR 2.0”: Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat—and how it differs from the traditional BRRR strategy What work they took on themselves vs. what they always hired out (electrical, drywall, finishes vs. structural, foundation, and plumbing) Why they prefer smaller infill projects like six-plexes instead of large, high-risk developments with heavy permitting costs How they manage leverage, cash flow targets per door, and why they’re choosing to pause, de-stress, and reassess what “enough” looks like after a decade of grinding Top 3 Takeaways You do not always need 20% down to get into real estate—using construction-to-perm style loans, sweat equity, and smart design, you can create deals by building rather than competing for existing inventory. Staying intentionally underleveraged and focusing on real cash flow per unit is often safer than chasing maximum refinancing or unit count, especially in volatile interest-rate environments. Your portfolio should support your life, not the other way around; periodically pausing to evaluate stress, health, and family priorities is just as important as growing doors or equity. Notable Quotes "We didn’t have money, so instead of buying someone else’s house, we built our own and used our work as the down payment." "BRRR 2.0 is the same idea as BRRR, but instead of ‘Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat,’ it’s ‘Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.’" "It’s not about how many units you own; it’s about how much money those properties actually make and whether the grind is worth it for your life."

They use the clip as a springboard to talk about discipline, risk, and why most people should stick to simple, boring money moves instead of gambling their future on complex schemes they barely understand.​ Top 3 Takeaways For most people, the simplest play—buy term life insurance for protection and invest consistently in diversified, long-term stock market holdings—beats complicated insurance and trading schemes. Day trading is statistically stacked against you; unless you treat it like gambling with true “play money,” your odds of long-term success are far worse than just buying and holding quality assets. “Passive income” buzzwords around real estate, dropshipping, and affiliate marketing hide the reality that these are real businesses requiring time, effort, and often capital—especially when you’re just getting started. Notable Quotes "If you’re just starting out, whole life and infinite banking shouldn’t even be on your radar—it’s a distraction sold hard because the commissions are huge." "Don’t pretend you’re an expert trader when even the best hedge fund managers in the world tell you not to time the market."

They unpack what this says about ESPN’s fading dominance, DraftKings’ position as the default sportsbook brand, and how Barstool founder Dave Portnoy continues to land on his feet after Penn sold Barstool back to him and rebranded to ESPN Bet. Along the way, they draw parallels to Disney’s evolving “family-friendly” branding strategy, the broader shift from legacy TV to social-first sports media, and why product quality and user behavior matter more than just a big name.​​ On this episode we talk about: The stunning early termination of the ESPN–Penn Entertainment $2B, 10-year ESPN Bet deal, effective December 1, 2025, after ESPN Bet failed to crack meaningful market share.​ Why ESPN Bet reportedly struggled to get above ~5% market share and never hit “top three” sportsbook status despite ESPN’s massive brand and distribution.​ Penn’s prior Barstool Sports era, regulatory pushback tied to Portnoy’s persona, and how Penn sold Barstool back to Dave Portnoy as it pivoted to the ESPN Bet rebrand.​​ Portnoy’s reaction on his own show, why he thinks time will tell if this is a good move for DraftKings, and his hint that Disney CEO Bob Iger made unflattering comments about Barstool behind the scenes.​ How Disney’s move from “no R-rated content” on Disney+ to hosting edgier, R-rated films via the Hulu integration shows a slow but real shift away from a strictly squeaky-clean image.​ Why even a giant like ESPN can’t just slap its logo on a product and win—especially when users already love DraftKings and other established betting apps.​ The rise of social-native sports brands like House of Highlights and Barstool Sports, and how short-form content has replaced traditional SportsCenter viewing for many fans.​​ Jake Paul’s “Betr” (Better) and other creator-led betting and media plays, and how having the ear of younger fans changes the balance of power in sports media.​ Why product quality, UX, and habit lock-in often beat legacy branding, even when legacy outlets still dominate live rights and TV distribution.​ A quick detour into the best sports movies of all time—Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Warrior, Rocky, Moneyball, and more—and what they reveal about the nostalgia we still attach to sports storytelling. Top 3 Takeaways Big legacy brands like ESPN and Disney can no longer rely on their name alone; in crowded categories like sports betting, sticky products and fan-favorite platforms like DraftKings are extremely hard to displace.​ Controversial personalities like Dave Portnoy can create regulatory and brand headaches, but they also build cult followings and resilient IP—Barstool’s rebound and Portnoy’s “$1 buyback” remain a masterclass in leverage.​​ The future of sports attention is social-first and creator-driven: fans increasingly get their highlights, hot takes, and sometimes even betting cues from digital-native brands rather than traditional TV networks.​​ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at https://gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1867 no     Make Money with Real Estate Investing | Rod Khleif Rod Khleif is a Dutch immigrant, multifamily investor, and high-performance mentor who has owned over 2,000 single-family homes and thousands of apartment units across the U.S. He hosts “Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing,” one of the largest commercial real estate podcasts, where he teaches investors how to use multifamily, senior housing, and other commercial assets to create long-term wealth. After watching his net worth jump $17 million in 2006 and then losing roughly $50 million in the 2008–09 crash, Rod rebuilt by focusing on mindset, goal setting, and identity work—turning that “seminar” into a blueprint he now shares with students worldwide.​ On this episode we talk about: Rod’s journey from broke Dutch immigrant kid in Denver to watching his mom buy a $30,000 rental that appreciated $20,000 and realizing real estate could change his life. Getting his broker’s license at 18, struggling for two years, then jumping to over $100k in income after discovering the power of mindset, psychology, and the right mentor. Building a massive portfolio of single-family and multifamily properties, seeing his net worth rise by $17 million in one year, and then losing around $50 million in the 2008 crash. How Rod reframed that loss as a “$50 million seminar,” refused to let real estate become his identity, and used aggressive goal setting and identity statements to rebuild. The current state of commercial real estate, including distressed multifamily deals due to interest rate shocks, emerging opportunity in senior housing/assisted living, and why he’s cautious on office but bullish on other asset classes. Top 3 Takeaways Your business is just a vehicle—if it fails, you are not a failure; separating identity from outcomes is essential if you want to recover from big losses and take bigger swings. Clear, emotionally charged goals combined with “I am” identity statements and massive action create the momentum needed to push through fear, limiting beliefs, and comfort zones. Right now is a rare window for prepared buyers in commercial real estate and small business acquisitions, with distressed multifamily assets and retiring Baby Boomer owners creating outsized opportunities. Notable Quotes "They’re only failures if you don’t get back up—otherwise they’re just very expensive seminars." "Anything you put the words ‘I am’ in front of becomes an identity statement, and your life will rise or fall to match it."

Rather than featuring a singular guest, this episode is a candid discussion between Travis and Eric, full of humor, pop culture, and philosophical digs about work ethic, optionality, the nature of talent, and actionable (if often ignored) business wisdom. They use standup comedy and pop references as a lens on entitlement, the “special snowflake” myth, and the sometimes mind-numbing monotony behind real progress. On this episode we talk about: Why most people settle for being a cog and what it actually takes to “opt out” Daniel Tosh’s take on employment, entitlement, and the myth of guaranteed fame The difference between success in business versus creative arts: luck, timing, and talent Why simple, repetitive business actions (doing the boring work) are the true formula for income The reason people mock Gary Vee’s advice, but why doing the basics still actually works Top 3 Takeaways Most people are held back not by talent or opportunity, but by their own acceptance of mediocrity and avoidance of repetitive, boring work that creates options and freedom. Business is fundamentally a learnable, math-like skill: boring, repeatable actions generate income better than “waiting for your shot.” Freedom requires you to learn how to make money outside of a paycheck—otherwise, you’ll always be forced to trade your time for someone else’s goals. Notable Quotes "The barrier to entry isn’t talent; it’s being willing to do the boring, repetitive work that most people constantly avoid."

On this episode we talk about: Various mental models that shape work, motivation, and the experience of meaning How philosophy—like Nietzsche’s ‘eternal recurrence’—reframes choices and ambitions The importance of recognizing meaning as self-generated, not assigned by circumstance or others Why evaluating beliefs by their practical usefulness is a key discipline in modern business How accepting truth wherever you find it drives personal growth, resilience, and sharper decisions Top 3 Takeaways Philosophy matters: Questioning and reframing beliefs about meaning and agency lead directly to greater productivity and financial outcomes.

They break down the psychology of high-pressure closing, how silence can be an indispensable tool, and why consultative selling beats boiler room tactics for long-term success. What real sales moments get right—and wrong—in famous movies The thrill and dread of securing deals in 100% commission environments Why holding the silence is harder (and more effective) than most people realize The difference between authoritative vs. assumptive closes—and why discovery sets you up for the sale The emotional rollercoaster of sales jobs, from adrenaline rushes to crushing self-doubt Use silence as leverage; resist the urge to talk past your own close—let the prospect sit with the decision. Great sales begins with genuine discovery and honest self-selection—you want lifetime clients, not regret-fueled chargebacks. The close should be the natural conclusion to a quality conversation—practice assumptive and options-based closing for better results. "Most people just can't stand the awkward silence, but in sales, that's your friend—it gets the prospect thinking, and helps you avoid talking yourself out of a deal."

On this episode we talk about: Why $1,000 in emergency savings rarely works—and the psychological trap of feeling secure with too little cash How Dave Ramsey’s famous “starter emergency fund” may work in theory, but often isn’t enough in practice, especially for those with significant debt The real meaning of building financial discipline: Knowing your risk level, running the numbers, and tailoring your strategy How Travis approaches emergency savings for entrepreneurs vs. employees—and why life always costs more than you expect Tips for keeping your money liquid, accessible, but not so visible you lose your financial hustle Top 3 Takeaways Personal finance isn’t one-size-fits-all—generic playbooks don’t address your actual risks or needs. A starter emergency fund (like $1,000) is better than nothing, but long-term security needs three to six months of expenses—especially if your income is volatile.

They cover everything from “buy low, sell high” myths to the dangers of credit cards and the unpredictable path of moving to NYC for your dreams. On this episode we talk about: Listening (and laughing) through clips of supposed “awful” financial advice—from cash hacks to leveraging credit as a college student Why “buy low, sell high” sounds easy, but almost no one—except 1% of day traders—actually wins playing that game over time The power of environment and why moving to a “dream city” could either ignite your career or send you financially underwater When using credit can make sense for disciplined business owners—but why most people should stick to cash Travis’s ranking of the worst, most misleading, and situational money advice people keep hearing Top 3 Takeaways “Buy low, sell high” is not a strategy—it’s gambling, and 99% of would-be day traders lose money over time. Your environment shapes your success; place yourself where the most opportunity exists, but only with a concrete, disciplined plan. Cash keeps you disciplined, but leveraged credit can be a useful tool—if you treat it like investment capital and avoid consumer traps.

They cover everything from “buy low, sell high” myths to the dangers of credit cards and the unpredictable path of moving to NYC for your dreams.

    On this episode we talk about:

    • Listening (and laughing) through clips of supposed “awful” financial advice—from cash hacks to leveraging credit as a college student

    • Why “buy low, sell high” sounds easy, but almost no one—except 1% of day traders—actually wins playing that game over time

    • The power of environment and why moving to a “dream city” could either ignite your career or send you financially underwater

    • When using credit can make sense for disciplined business owners—but why most people should stick to cash

    • Travis’s ranking of the worst, most misleading, and situational money advice people keep hearing

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. “Buy low, sell high” is not a strategy—it’s gambling, and 99% of would-be day traders lose money over time.

    2. Your environment shapes your success; place yourself where the most opportunity exists, but only with a concrete, disciplined plan.

    3. Cash keeps you disciplined, but leveraged credit can be a useful tool—if you treat it like investment capital and avoid consumer traps.

    Notable Quotes

    • “You’re not going to beat the S&P 500—over 96% of funds and day traders fail to outperform the market.”

    • “Don’t confuse play money with nest egg money—it’s fun until you gamble away your future.”

    • “Environment shapes you, but most people never shape their environment.”

Before that, he rode the highs of the mortgage boom, only to lose everything when the 2008 financial crisis hit. His businesses collapsed, his finances imploded, and his personal life spiraled into addiction and rock-bottom moments. But out of that devastation, Garrett rebuilt his life and business with a new philosophy—one focused on certainty, truth, and becoming a true entrepreneur instead of just a hustler. On this episode we talk about: The difference between being a hustler and truly being an entrepreneur How the 2008 recession exposed weaknesses and reshaped Garrett’s mindset Hitting rock bottom with addiction, broken relationships, and financial ruin The role of faith, truth, and what Garrett calls "certainty" in rebuilding his life The beginnings of the Wake Up Warrior movement and lessons for today’s uncertain economy Top 3 Takeaways Hustling might get you short-term wins, but building something lasting requires foundation, leadership, and a long-term vision. Real entrepreneurship requires a shift from individual hustle to creating systems, certainty, and "kingdoms" that can withstand chaos. True leadership comes from authenticity and certainty—qualities that can’t be faked or purchased. Notable Quotes "We were not entrepreneurs. We were hustlers."

On this episode we talk about:   How Dean went from small-town tow truck driver and real estate investor to entrepreneur, course creator, and Tony Robbins’ business partner   The transformational impact of Tony Robbins—shifting from self-doubt to self-education and masterminds   Why amplifying the right “voices” and controlling your environment are keys to personal and financial growth   Masterminds, risk, and the real secret to success (it’s not a tactic—it’s matching mindset to the right plan)   Why having a big enough reason—either pain or pleasure—beats talent, luck, or even timing Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Success and risk tolerance aren’t about luck or skills—they come from strengthening the right voice in your head, controlling your environment, and fueling a compelling vision for the future.2.  Self-education (books, masterminds, mentors) is the “unfair advantage” that turned a hustler into a multimillionaire—and remains the foundation for exponential growth and resilience.3.  Personal development isn’t fluffy: unless you shape your beliefs, you’ll never follow through on the best strategy or tactic—mindset plus action is the only proven path. Notable Quotes   “We all have two voices: strengthen the one that says, ‘Let’s do this’—the other only grows with inaction.”   “Mindset and foundation, plus the right strategies, is where exponential growth comes from.”   “If you wouldn’t risk for your dream, ask yourself if you’re willing to stay exactly where you are for the next five years.” Connect with Dean Graziosi:   Instagram: @deangraziosi   Website: deangraziosi.com   Book: Millionaire Success Habits   Mastermind/Training: Mastermind.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Travis and producer Eric break down one of the most polarizing topics in entrepreneurship: is it better to bootstrap a business, or raise outside capital? Drawing on personal experience and lessons from startup culture, Travis reveals the biggest mistakes founders make when chasing VC funding, why Silicon Valley’s obsession with investment misleads so many, and the first principles everyone should use to decide how to launch any new company. On this episode we talk about:   The dangers and downsides of raising funding too early—even if the “checklist” seems to fit your business   Why bootstrapping builds discipline, pressure, and actual proof of concept (and how to get creative when money is tight)   When venture capital makes sense—and all the hidden costs of taking outside money, from loss of control to preferential contracts   How AI is changing the software startup equation, and shrinking the need to raise massive amounts of funding   Lessons learned from infamous failures (like Quibi) and the right ways to audit your business before chasing investment Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Bootstrapping is almost always the better first move; it boosts discipline, real market feedback, and keeps control in the founder’s hands.2.  Raising outside capital adds pressure, complex contracts, and doesn’t guarantee success; cash alone never fixes a business that lacks product-market fit.3.  Use trusted frameworks (like Reid Hoffman’s Blitzscaling checklist), consult experienced founders, and remember: don’t give away control unless it’s truly required for growth. Notable Quotes   “If at all possible, bootstrap first—even just to prove your concept. Outside money makes everything more complicated.”   “Cash doesn’t solve all your problems.

    ]]>     1663 no     Make Money by Learning How to Set Your Prices In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into the uncomfortable but crucial world of pricing your services and mastering sales. They discuss real strategies, share personal struggles, and break down Alex Hormozi’s now-famous “closed rate pricing gauge cheat sheet.” Whether you’re a freelancer, agency owner, or business leader, you’ll learn how to stop undercharging for your work, confidently sell your value, and turn price conversations from awkward to awesome. On this episode we talk about:   How to use close rates to determine if your prices are too low (or too high)   Overcoming anxiety around sales and setting prices for friends, family, and clients   Writing scripts and using prep tools (like ChatGPT) to gain confidence before making offers   Sales conversation frameworks—discovery, demo, value-building, and closing   Actionable advice for firing low-value clients, upselling, and navigating new price points Top 3 Takeaways 1.  If your close rate is above 60–80%, you’re probably undercharging; double or triple your prices and focus on building real value for the right clients.2.  Good sales is about diagnosing problems and becoming a trusted advisor—not just pitching; scripts, discovery, and prep are your friends.3.  Retention is easier than acquisition, but honesty and transparency are key when raising prices or letting legacy clients go. Notable Quotes   “If you can describe the problem better than they can, people will assume you have the solution.”   “Most people aren’t paying for a deal—they’re paying for results from someone they trust to deliver.”   “You’re either selling stuff or building stuff.

He’s bought and sold 15 businesses, raised over $25 million, and holds degrees from Brown and Wharton—but as he reveals in this episode, Guttman's most powerful business lessons have all come from hands-on experience, not classrooms. Joined by Anna, a first-time founder going through his new "Anti-MBA" program, David shows how anyone can launch, scale, and exit a real business—no fancy degree or pedigree required. On this episode we talk about:   The difference between academic knowledge and real-world business competence (and why David tore up his Wharton MBA diploma)   How Guttman’s new “Anti-MBA” course powers hands-on learning for first-time founders—including an 18-year-old launching a tech-savvy poster company   The secrets of buying, scaling, and selling businesses across 40+ industries, including key lessons from epic failures and wins   How to build winning businesses: bottoms-up budgeting, asking the right questions, and synthesizing knowledge from every team member   Networking, mentorship, and why podcasting is still the “single best tool for building relationships” in the modern era Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Building and scaling companies is about learning by doing, asking questions, testing assumptions, and embracing mistakes—not degrees or credentials.2.  All business victories (and most big lessons) come from execution, pattern recognition, honesty, and the ability to synthesize data and team insights.3.  Owners should treat employees as true owners—make everyone a shareholder, drive open-book management, and prioritize real relationships for long-term wins. Notable Quotes   "I didn't learn anything particularly useful in the classroom.

    ]]>     3105 no     Make Money by Investing in Events and Masterminds On this Q&A episode, Travis and producer Eric break down the true value—and actual dollar ROI—of spending big on conferences, masterminds, and in-person networking events. Travis pulls back the curtain on years of personal investment, revealing why choosing the right room can shortcut years of growth for entrepreneurs and creators. The episode answers tough listener questions about wasted money, picking events, and how to “level up” your network strategically instead of just collecting business cards. On this episode we talk about:   Why Travis has spent six figures annually to get access to high-caliber business rooms   The difference between ROI in cheap conferences vs. elite mastermind groups   How and why real business growth happens outside of structured sessions—often at after-hours meetups   The “ping pong effect”—why you need to challenge yourself by surrounding yourself with people at much higher levels   The most common mistake (and how to avoid wasting your investment by focusing solely on content over relationships) Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Face-to-face conferences and masterminds often provide the best ROI—companies report a 4:1 to 5:1 return according to 2025 industry data, and new business from events still outpaces digital alone.2.  Growth happens fastest when you pay to be uncomfortable and seek out rooms where you’re not the expert—proximity to big thinkers shortcuts years of solo effort.3.  The best value comes when you prioritize genuine relationships over just knowledge—one high-value contact can outweigh years’ worth of conference notes. Notable Quotes   "When you pay, you pay attention. Money is an amazing accountability partner—if you stretch to get in the right room, you make the most of it."   "All the best business happens after hours, in the relationships and informal meetups that develop outside the official event schedule."   "If you can't find a conference that fits, be the host—creating the community gives you leverage and attracts the best connections."

    ]]>     1467 no     Make Money and Build Real Wealth This episode features Travis and producer Eric tackling one of the biggest, most uncomfortable truths about financial success: most people will never build real wealth—and the core reason isn’t luck or the White House, but mindset. Drawing on decades of interviews with self-made success stories, Travis explains why belief in possibility—coupled with intentional action and environment—unlocks opportunities that most people never realize exist. The episode offers a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the “doom loop” of financial frustration and outlines specific, practical steps to break free and design a new future. On this episode we talk about:   Why most Americans will never build wealth (and what the data says about the top 10% vs. everyone else)   The single biggest mental barrier keeping people stuck in financial ruts—belief in what's possible for themselves   How environment, relationships, and content shape financial results (and how to intentionally re-engineer them)   Actionable frameworks for moving beyond circumstances, including the “inputs and outputs” model Travis uses with top performers   Practical advice for dealing with setbacks, self-doubt, and excuses in the wealth-building journey Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Wealth building starts with changing belief—if you don’t believe it’s possible, you’ll never take the sustained action required to succeed.2.  Intentional shifts in environment, daily influences, and relationships are critical for breaking generational or circumstantial cycles of financial struggle.3.  Personal responsibility, not circumstances or politics, is the lever that brings change—everyone has the power to design an environment that shapes who they become. Notable Quotes   "You are now 100% a result of your choices, not a result of the environment that you grew up in."   "Nobody is going to come save you. You have the agency and responsibility to put things in motion to change your life."   "It’s easier to take the action you need if everyone around you is doing the same thing—your environment is your secret weapon."

Drawing from the worlds of acting, science, and entrepreneurship, Josh helps professionals harness anxiety and fear—not fight it—unlocking deeper authenticity, energy, and real business results. His new book, Lose Your Mind, reveals the step-by-step process for transforming internal resistance into creative fuel in both art and enterprise. Josh’s unique upbringing: a mother who was a painter-poet, a father who was a physicist who worked with Einstein—blending creativity and science into his philosophy and approach. The Committed Impulse method: Presence-based, body-centric acting technique that has empowered Oscar-winning actors, Navy SEALs, Fortune 100 execs, entrepreneurs, and professionals to break free of “tyranny of overthinking” and use anxiety as a source of power. Core lesson: Emotions like anxiety, nervousness, fear are neither good nor bad—they are energetic phenomena, and feeling them fully (rather than suppressing) creates truth, spontaneity, and engagement. Why authenticity is business’s secret weapon: When professionals (lawyers, doctors, salespeople) connect from genuine experience—rather than perform from a “safe” autopilot—audiences respond, and careers flourish. “Lose Your Mind”: New book offering practical tools and meditations to shift internal energy, supporting creative invincibility for anyone with high-stakes communication needs. Experiencing—not avoiding—fear and anxiety is how world-class creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs achieve breakthrough results. Suppressing emotions is energetically and physically costly; creativity, health, and business engagement all flourish when energy is allowed to flow. The most compelling entrepreneurs, speakers, and leaders show up with their real physical and emotional truth—being present, not perfect, books deals and drives success in today’s market. “What people perceive as nervousness is just creative fuel—once I learned to feel every feeling fully, booking jobs and success became effortless”. “The best presenters and actors allow the charge in their bodies—authenticity is speaking from your truth and letting energy move”. “Committed Impulse gives you access to your creative ‘atomic’ truth—it’s how you build trust, connect, and sell in business as well as art”.

Together, they break down the dangers of weekly payment plans, the psychological tricks behind small recurring payments, and the growing $82B debt problem fueled by these fintech innovations. The rise of “buy now, pay later” apps like Klarna and Affirm, now offering financing for everything from shoes to lunch—why this is NOT financial freedom Why weekly payment structures psychologically lure customers, obscuring actual costs (“just $19 a week” means more than $1,000 over a year for a pair of shoes) Klarna’s CEO admits most shouldn’t finance small purchases—yet the option is everywhere, and millions fall for it How buy now, pay later debt is now practically invisible to traditional credit monitors, with 90–100M Americans using these services and $82B spent in 2024 alone The discipline myth: Why sustainable wealth and financial self-control depend on removing temptation, building habits, and automating savings over time Weekly or daily payment plans are a predatory marketing tactic—real wealth is built by delaying gratification and refusing to finance wants as needs. Buy now, pay later isn’t a “hack”—it’s the same as a credit card, minus visibility, with consequences just as severe if payments are missed. The solution: erase easy credit temptations, automate real savings, and focus discipline on building income, not propping up short-term purchases with debt. “If anybody is offering you weekly payments for shoes, it’s because it’s a ridiculous idea.” “You haven’t earned the right to convenience purchases until you’re financially free—build habits, not more recurring payments.” “No one will care for your financial health except you.

    ]]>     1739 no     Make Money by AVOIDING This Travel Hack On this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down a viral “travel hack” spotted on Threads, where someone claims you can rack up $26K in credit card charges and just pay the minimum monthly payment. The crew uses this as a springboard to talk about financial literacy, the psychology of spending, and what happens when you only pay the minimum—plus real strategies to manage credit and avoid debt traps. The viral Threads post (“hack”) and why it’s a dangerous misconception: paying only the minimum isn’t a life cheat but a fast track to lifelong debt.

His journey combines relentless action, digital marketing expertise, and a deep commitment to both teaching and innovation, making Performance Golf one of the fastest-rising brands in the golf industry today. How Brixton went from lemonade stands and caddying as a teen to building a global golf business, leveraging both his experience as a competitive golfer and his knowledge of digital sales and marketing. The origins of Performance Golf: first digital courses, then clubs, training aids (like the Straight Stick and One Wedge), an innovative AI-powered app, and now immersive coaching events—all supported by partnerships with top instructors and rapid product expansion. The value of aggressive testing, delayed gratification, and reinvesting profits—Brixton kept his job and lived lean until Performance Golf hit $30 million+ in annual sales. The transformative impact of masterminds and mentors, including how a single paid brainstorming day led to immediate and explosive revenue growth. Vivd examples of relentless action and adaptability—Brixton routinely diversified product lines, built strong teams, and learned to delegate in order to scale past eight and nine figures. Relentless volume of action and rapid iteration are key: success is inevitable if you keep adjusting and learning from the market.

Chris Voss) On this solo episode, Travis breaks down the right (and wrong) way to handle the dreaded “your price is too expensive” objection—featuring FBI negotiator Chris Voss’s real-world advice alongside Travis’s own experience selling high-ticket podcasting services. If skipping straight to discounts has ever cost you a deal or margin, this episode gives you battle-tested scripts and the mindset needed to sell with confidence and preserve premium pricing. On this episode we talk about: Chris Voss’s formula for uncovering the real reasons behind price objections Why you should almost never cut your price—and what to say instead When customer “pushback” is just a complaint (not an objection) How to build so much value with overdelivery that price is a non-issue Travis’s personal client example of winning deals at 3X the competitor’s price—without haggling Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Isolate price resistance—ask clarifying questions to uncover if the concern is real, or just noise.2.  Lead with empathy, then confidently explain the real value—don’t counter “expensive” with discounts or apologies.3.  High-value service earns high prices—overdeliver, believe in your offer, and treat objections as opportunities for better conversations (not price cuts). Notable Quotes “If there’s price pressure, the answer is better service—not a discount.” (Chris Voss) “Objections aren’t always real.

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1.  Don’t trust audience size as a stand-alone predictor of creator income—platform and business model matter much more.
    2.  Creators who build real products, offers, or companies behind the scenes have the highest financial upside.
    3.  Never bet your future on platforms’ payouts—build something you own.

    Notable Quotes

    • “Attention isn’t income until you have a business behind it.”

    • “If you’re not selling something, you’re leaving almost all the money on the table.”

    • “Creators with back-end offers—not just views—build wealth that lasts after the hype.”

Instead, they explore how networking, personal branding, and creative job-seeking strategies dramatically increase the odds of making money and landing great opportunities. The problem with modern job boards: why mass resume-sending leads to “needle-in-a-haystack” odds and why employers are overwhelmed by flooded inboxes. The game-changing power of networking: 54% to 85% of jobs are filled thanks to personal connections, and up to 70% are never even advertised publicly. How personal branding goes beyond social media influencer status—your “brand” is your reputation, relationships, and the unique value you bring to your network and industry. Real-world advice: Stand out by doing something extraordinary—such as proactively completing part of the job, offering solutions, or using creative tactics instead of ordinary cold applications. Why showing authentic initiative (e.g., actually delivering a useful service up-front, or even a resume in a box of donuts) secures far more opportunities than just “following the rules.” Action steps for job seekers: target fewer companies, do real research, deliver value in the first contact, and leverage every connection you have. 1.  Building and leveraging a real personal brand and network is now the main path to most high-quality jobs and freelance gigs; resume blasts rarely succeed.2.  Extraordinary effort (showing real initiative, not just “hustle”) is what consistently leads to extraordinary results—instead of just landing in the generic job-seeker pile.3.  The skills that get you hired are directly tied to how you show up: people hire the value and energy they’ve actually seen, not just the claims on your resume. “If everybody’s doing it, do something different.

    ]]>     1361 no     Make Money by Selling Digital Real Estate | Matt Raad Matt Raad, alongside his wife Liz, is a pioneer in turning digital assets—especially websites—into high-cash-flow, low-risk, location-independent businesses. With 30 years of buy-and-renovate experience in both bricks-and-mortar and online businesses, Matt now teaches beginners and pros how to build income and freedom by acquiring and improving profitable websites, even without tech expertise. At the eBusiness Institute, they’ve helped thousands transition from 9-to-5 or career burnout into “digital real estate” investing. Matt walks through his unconventional path: from university zoology to owning a manufacturing business, then pivoting to online businesses after enduring years of low cash flow and inventory headaches. He explains why pure online businesses (vs. brick and mortar or physical inventory) offer better margins, less risk, and true freedom—recounting how buying underperforming websites allowed instant access to global markets from a laptop in rural Australia. The “buy and renovate” strategy: how to spot, assess, and grow small cash-flowing websites into greater income using real estate-inspired due diligence and systems honed from physical business deals. Why new investors should skip e-commerce/physical products; instead, start with small, content/affiliate/ad-based sites bought for under $1,000, and practice due diligence on cash flow, traffic, and simple site renovation. The key skills for beginners: building a basic website (WordPress), understanding monetization (ads, affiliates, lead gen), and learning how to investigate financial claims and traffic data before buying—a process Matt’s team teaches in free masterclasses. Real-world case studies: from a $400 niche gardening blog turned into $4,000/month, to a portfolio approach that delivers $5K–$10K semi-passive income with less risk and capital than almost any offline business. The lowest-risk, most scalable entry point for career changers, families, or side hustlers who want cash flow without the “big bet” on inventory, rent, or employees. 1.  Buying and renovating digital real estate (websites) is a proven shortcut to flexible, location-free income—and is accessible to complete beginners who learn the right skills and start small.2.  The number one mistake to avoid: underestimating the complexity, risk, and cash drain of inventory-heavy or brick-and-mortar businesses; digital offers higher margins and exponential leverage for less initial investment.3.  Success in online business is replicable—just focus on practical skills (website building, due diligence, simple renovations) and leverage mentors or proven processes, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. “Websites are the ultimate low-risk side hustle: low startup costs, instant global reach, and no stock or shipping nightmares.” “If you want out of the 9-to-5, start with a small content site (ads/affiliate/lead gen), practice due diligence, and learn by doing—there’s no better ROI for beginners.” “Think of websites as digital property—buy below value, renovate for cash flow, and watch the compounding effects add up.” Main site and training: eBusinessInstitute.com.au (masterclasses, free guides) Podcast and success stories: Digital Investors Podcast LinkedIn: Matt Raad Blog & strategies: mattandlizraad.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis In this episode:Top 3 TakeawaysNotable QuotesLearn More & Connect Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Matt Raad, alongside his wife Liz, is a pioneer in turning digital assets—especially websites—into high-cash-flow, low-risk, location-independent businesses. With 30 years of buy-and-renovate experience in both bricks-and-mortar and online businesses, Matt now teaches beginners and pros how to build income and freedom by acquiring and improving profitable websites, even without tech expertise. At the eBusiness Institute, they’ve helped thousands transition from 9-to-5 or career burnout into “digital real estate” investing.

    • Matt walks through his unconventional path: from university zoology to owning a manufacturing business, then pivoting to online businesses after enduring years of low cash flow and inventory headaches.

    • He explains why pure online businesses (vs. brick and mortar or physical inventory) offer better margins, less risk, and true freedom—recounting how buying underperforming websites allowed instant access to global markets from a laptop in rural Australia.

    • The “buy and renovate” strategy: how to spot, assess, and grow small cash-flowing websites into greater income using real estate-inspired due diligence and systems honed from physical business deals.

    • Why new investors should skip e-commerce/physical products; instead, start with small, content/affiliate/ad-based sites bought for under $1,000, and practice due diligence on cash flow, traffic, and simple site renovation.

    ]]>     1630 no     Make Money By Avoiding Distraction On this episode, Travis and producer Eric tackle one of the most misapplied wealth maxims: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” They break down why “diversify” is bad early advice for most entrepreneurs, when to focus, and how/when to adopt new tools like AI without sacrificing execution on core income skills. The myth of “the average millionaire has seven streams of income”—and why nearly all seven are added after one core path is mastered and scaled. Diversification is for preservation, not creation: the story of why focus, not scattered effort, is what actually builds a foundation for future wealth. Travis’s generational perspective: despite rising costs and new challenges for millennial and Gen Z entrepreneurs, opportunity for making money has never been so abundant—or so easy to squander via distraction. How to harness focus in an age of endless digital noise: the practical difference between “shiny object syndrome” and being intelligently opportunistic. How successful job-hackers stack income by staying focused within a skill set (e.g., one guest earning $300K+ by working three simultaneous remote jobs, then teaching that same model). When and how to experiment: Travis’s advice for learning about AI or new tech tools—treat it as “continued education”—not as a cue to abandon a working vehicle. Beware the allure of the “easy button.” Why it’s vital to do more of what’s working, less of what’s not, and to recognize “diversification” is a reward for focused success, not a shortcut for lack of traction. 1.  Narrow, relentless focus on a single opportunity or skill for an extended period is the true driver of wealth; diversifying before mastery leads to mediocrity.2.  Diversification is most powerful as a preservation tool once substantial income is established—not as an early-game tactic for building it.3.  Don’t chase every buzzword—learn new tools (like AI) as enhancements to your core craft, not as replacements or distractions from executing what already works well. “Diversification is the tool of millionaires—but focus is how you become one.” “You can’t master seven things at once; build depth, get results, then stack new streams on top when you’ve earned the right.” “Everyone’s looking for the easy button.

Known for blending psychological research, neuroscience, philosophy, and signature humor, she’s coached millions to ditch “near-life experiences” and start living fully and intentionally. Her new book, Your To-Die-For Life, invites readers to use mortality awareness—not as morbid fear, but as bold motivation to rethink priorities, clarify values, and finally take action on what matters most. Karen reveals how the death of her father led to a “near-life experience” epiphany—a wake-up call to stop living on autopilot and embrace life with meaning, presence, and urgency. Why writing your own eulogy (with her playful Mad Libs template) is a powerful, practical exercise for clarifying what you want your legacy to be. The “alphabet” of regret-proof core values—authentic, brave, curious, discerning, empathic love, fun, and grateful—and how to translate them into identity-based habits to overcome fear and pursue bold goals, including wealth. Science-backed behavioral strategies for making changes that stick, creating habits tied to core identity, and using cognitive dissonance to motivate positive action. Karen’s process for focusing on a handful of values that truly matter—reverse-engineered from research on the top regrets of the dying, so listeners can proactively avoid them. Insightful stories from her bestselling books, her career pivot from advertising and screenwriting, and practical ways to make “someday” goals into today’s actions.

How curiosity, resilience against rejection, and relentless networking set the foundation for entrepreneurial success—regardless of industry or background. Lessons learned launching media and tech startups: staying revenue-positive, finding the intersection of passion, opportunity, and value creation, and building healthy companies before chasing outside investment. The unique challenges gig workers and side hustlers face in accessing credit—and how traditional financial systems fail millions living the “multi-income” reality. The vision behind MPWR: next-generation AI and alternative credit risk modeling, holistic financial coaching through real-time dashboards, and dynamic predictions to help users thrive financially—no matter how nontraditional their work or income. Practical advice for entrepreneurs: prioritize passion only where it meets real market opportunities and your proven skills, and design businesses for positive cash flow (not dependency on investors). Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Build resilience to rejection—success in startups (and wealth building) is about persistence and adaptability, not just having a great idea.2.  In a changing economy dominated by gig work, new fintech platforms like Empower are making real financial inclusion possible for people who’ve historically been left out.3.  Revenue-first entrepreneurship beats chasing unicorn status; healthy businesses attract investment by solving problems and becoming sustainable early.

Launching her first meditation podcast in 2018 from a closet, Katie has grown the network to over 20 shows, amassing more than 100 million downloads and becoming one of the world’s most successful independent podcasters. In this candid conversation, Katie shares her entrepreneurial journey—from humble beginnings and money mindset shifts to the nuts-and-bolts of scaling a podcast empire. On this episode we talk about: Katie’s background growing up one of six children in a working-class Arizona family, her early odd jobs, and how family beliefs shaped her relationship with money Her career pivot: leaving a successful coaching business to chase a new, untested idea—meditation podcasts for women The step-by-step evolution from her first show (“Meditation for Women”) in 2018 to building a 20-show network reaching millions monthly How the COVID-19 pandemic became her major inflection point for listener growth, product expansion, and innovation Monetization in podcasting: CPM ad models, the journey from relying on agencies to leveraging Anchor/Spotify programmatic ads, scaling to consistent five-figure monthly income, as well as the realities (and pitfalls) of the ad-revenue cycle Growth tactics: organic SEO-driven naming, network-driven niche launches, strategic paid ads, audience cross-promotion, and data-minded iteration The importance of self-awareness, focus, and fulfilling a core mission as new opportunities multiply and the business diversifies Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Podcasting can be both a purpose-driven and highly profitable business when built on audience need, niche focus, and relentless consistency.2.  Sustainable growth comes not from chasing fame, but from doubling down on what works—then creatively spinning off new, targeted shows to meet untapped demand.3.  Transforming mindset, money narratives, and leveraging the “tool” of money allows entrepreneurs to scale both abundance and generosity.

    ]]>     1488 no     Make Money by Selling Like a Pro | Reacting to Grant Cardone, Brad Lea, and Andy Elliott Travis is joined by producer Eric for a rapid-fire Q&A, reacting to three high-impact sales clips from the internet’s best-known sales trainers: Andy Elliott, Grant Cardone, and Brad Lea. From cold doors to cold calls to closing high-ticket deals, Travis unpacks what really works from his years of real-world sales. He shares truths behind the viral advice, what’s hype versus what’s helpful, and how to tailor classic sales tactics to any niche or market. On this episode we talk about: Andy Elliott’s advice on door-to-door sales: why trust matters first and how your look, attitude, and presentation shape the ‘trust barrier’ before you say a word Grant Cardone’s cold-call critique: why your intro should be ultra-short, first name only, and hook-centric; never waste air time on what doesn’t earn attention Brad Lea’s “fast, good, or cheap” close: how to overcome the price objection by putting the client in control, and why great closes guide the buyer—not push them Common pitfalls to avoid: sounding like a salesperson, building too much rapport early, or undermining your value by slashing prices The universal importance of discipline, confidence, and tailoring your sales style to the setting, whether it’s a cold knock, phone call, or live presentation Top 3 Takeaways 1.  First impressions matter more than most realize—your visual cues and energy impact trust instantly, especially when selling door-to-door or in cold approaches.2.  In high-velocity sales, cut the fluff and get to the “reason you’re calling”—the time you waste up front is time for their guard to rise.3.  Great closes like Brad Lea’s third-way choice (“fast, good, cheap—pick two”) empower the prospect to make a confident decision, shifting the conversation from value to what the buyer truly prioritizes. Notable Quotes "Your goal is to take the wall down as quickly as you can—in person, the way you look and carry yourself decides if they trust you before you say anything." "When you’re cold calling, never start with your full name or a drawn out intro; people care why you’re calling and what’s in it for them." "Great salespeople don’t slash prices—they help clients choose the package that fits, preserving both value and the seller’s credibility." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    • Grant Cardone’s cold-call critique: why your intro should be ultra-short, first name only, and hook-centric; never waste air time on what doesn’t earn attention

    • Brad Lea’s “fast, good, or cheap” close: how to overcome the price objection by putting the client in control, and why great closes guide the buyer—not push them

    • Common pitfalls to avoid: sounding like a salesperson, building too much rapport early, or undermining your value by slashing prices

    • The universal importance of discipline, confidence, and tailoring your sales style to the setting, whether it’s a cold knock, phone call, or live presentation

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1.  First impressions matter more than most realize—your visual cues and energy impact trust instantly, especially when selling door-to-door or in cold approaches.
    2.  In high-velocity sales, cut the fluff and get to the “reason you’re calling”—the time you waste up front is time for their guard to rise.
    3.  Great closes like Brad Lea’s third-way choice (“fast, good, cheap—pick two”) empower the prospect to make a confident decision, shifting the conversation from value to what the buyer truly prioritizes.

    Notable Quotes

    • "Your goal is to take the wall down as quickly as you can—in person, the way you look and carry yourself decides if they trust you before you say anything."

    • "When you’re cold calling, never start with your full name or a drawn out intro; people care why you’re calling and what’s in it for them."

    • "Great salespeople don’t slash prices—they help clients choose the package that fits, preserving both value and the seller’s credibility."

    ]]>     1432     Make F*** You Money | Kasim Aslam Kasim Aslam is a self-made serial entrepreneur who rose from welfare in Albuquerque to become a multi-exit founder and an acclaimed thought leader in digital marketing. He built Solutions 8 into a Google Ads powerhouse (over $100 million in managed ad spend) and now focuses on Pareto Talent and Driven Mastermind, helping entrepreneurs scale with world-class delegation and smarter teams. Kasim is known for his unfiltered honesty, deep operational knowledge, and for championing the power of global talent to unlock life-changing business freedom. On this episode we talk about: Kasim’s journey from hustling candy as a seven-year-old to building (and selling) multiple seven- and eight-figure companies Lessons learned growing up with a blind single mother, finding resilience through relentless failure, and redefining success after setbacks Why most people shouldn’t worry about “the big idea”—and why starting scrappy (even with a humble service like window washing) is the real entrepreneurial launchpad How systemic discipline around earning, saving, and hiring the right people separates fake wealth from lasting wealth The vital difference between being an operator versus a true entrepreneur—and why the only irreplaceable skill is mastering talent: recruiting, motivating, and building world-class teams Kasim’s “quarter principle” and how opportunity only reveals itself once you start moving—even if your first business “fails” How to instantly get Kasim’s new book on hiring for free. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Don’t obsess over the perfect idea—start where you are, fail small, and extract lessons fast; every real entrepreneur starts with a low-stakes test and levels up by learning in the field.2.  Building true wealth isn’t about income alone. It’s about disciplined money management, playing long-term games, and, most importantly, learning to delegate and attract peak talent for every role.3.  The entrepreneurial game changes at each stage: your “buy box” for opportunities evolves, and the skills to get to seven figures are different from those needed for eight or nine; self-awareness and continuous upskilling are essential. Notable Quotes "I’ve had 100+ failed ventures… failure’s just data; nothing ever bombs 100%. You collect the lessons and level up over time." "Entrepreneurship is not fulfillment; your job is to master talent—not the work itself." "The only real leverage in business is people. Learn to build teams, pay top talent, and you’ll never work a day in your life."

    ]]>     1744 no     Make Money by Buying or Starting a Business Travis and his producer Eric dive deep into one of the most common (and misleading) debates in entrepreneurship: is it actually smarter to buy an existing business, or should you build one from zero? Travis brings candid perspective, real stories, and actionable advice—covering who’s really ready for acquisition, when it’s a disguised risk, and why the right answer depends entirely on your background, skills, and life stage. On this episode we talk about: The hidden risks “business buying” gurus don’t tell you about online Why Wall Street MBAs and local blue-collar workers face VERY different realities in business acquisition The true story behind seller financing, ownership transitions, and the “great wealth transfer” from retiring boomers The pitfalls of buying a company with zero operational experience—especially with employees depending on you How to develop entrepreneurial skills the right way: from humble beginnings, mentorship, or free resources like Alex and Layla Hormozi’s content The value of real-world learning, local partnerships, and being brutally honest about risk when families and finances are on the line Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Buying a business is viable for those with real operational, financial, or sector experience—but is highly risky for novices with no background or mentorship.2.  Free educational content (like what’s offered by the Hormozis) and relationships with local business owners offer low-risk ways to get business skills—don’t shortcut this step.3.  Every path is unique: don’t get swept up in romanticized social media pitches. Assess your own knowledge, resources, and risk tolerance before making a major entrepreneurial leap. Notable Quotes "Don’t fall into the trap of social media dreams—what worked for a Wharton MBA may be disastrous for an aspiring entrepreneur in small-town America." "There are multiple ways to win at this game, but skipping the humility and the homework is the fastest way to lose." "If the deal looks too good to be true, ask more questions—and remember, you owe your employees and your family your best preparation." ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode we talk about: Why “eyeballing” your budget is like trying to lose weight without tracking calories The surprising expenses (bites, licks, tastes… and subscriptions) that sabotage your savings Lessons Travis learned from catching years of double-billed HOA fees How to identify (and cut) spending that doesn’t actually make life better Hands-on reviews of apps and systems like EveryDollar and Rocket Money, with tips for making them work for you The value of splitting money into separate savings accounts and “paying yourself first” Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Tracking every dollar for even just a couple months will instantly highlight where money is leaking out—and where painless cuts can add up fast.2.  Use budgeting apps (EveryDollar, Rocket Money, or similar) to create intentional systems, not just wishful thinking, and to automate savings for major goals.3.  Developing focus around spending is as important as optimizing income—and the discipline you build budgeting will serve every other area of your financial life. Notable Quotes "If you haven’t tracked every dollar for multiple months, you can’t say you have a real budget—eyeballing always misses key details." "You'll be surprised what you see after looking at the data.

Using viral memes, classic motivational stories, and plenty of real-world examples, Travis breaks down the difference between grit and the sunk cost fallacy. If you’ve ever wrestled with whether to keep going or to cut your losses, this conversation gives you actionable strategies—and permission—to make your next decision with confidence. On this episode we talk about: The “three feet from gold” story and why it’s not always as motivational as it seems Distinguishing persistence from stubbornness in business and creative pursuits The sunk cost fallacy and how it can keep you on the wrong path for too long Timing, luck, technology, and other factors that determine real success The importance of intuition and asking honest questions when deciding to persist or pivot Annie Duke’s book "Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away" and actionable frameworks for tough decisions Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Legendary persistence stories are rare because so few people actually strike gold—sometimes quitting is the healthiest, wealthiest move. 2.  Set clear metrics and timelines: if you’re not where you need to be by a set date, give yourself permission to step back and reassess. 3.  Intuition is a powerful guide, but so is honest self-inquiry; journaling and brutal self-questioning can reveal when it’s time to change lanes. Notable Quotes "Persistence is great advice—until it’s not. The sunk cost fallacy never made anybody wealthy."

Whether you’re scared of becoming a “Money Pit” homeowner, unsure about Grant Cardone’s “asset for asses” line, or just wondering how to buy smarter and flexibly, this one’s packed with lessons from real-world experience.

    ]]>     1607 no     Make Money with Side Hustles... BESIDES Uber! This Q&A episode features Travis and his producer Eric, digging into modern realities around wages and the importance (and possibilities) of side hustles in 2025. Drawing on real-world examples and listener questions, Travis breaks down practical steps for anyone—whether stuck at minimum wage, looking to upskill, or considering taking a side gig full time. The conversation debunks common myths, highlights actionable pathways, and injects a healthy dose of tough love and encouragement. On this episode we talk about: Why minimum wage jobs alone aren’t enough to thrive in today’s economy How to pick a side hustle that fits your schedule, skills, and goals Building skills that pay: sales, arbitrage, creative freelancing, and more When (and if) to turn your side gig into your full-time work The mindset shifts required to get out of the “employee only” mentality Top 3 Takeaways Skills are the ultimate wealth-building lever—don’t just trade time for dollars, constantly invest in learning and improving high-value abilities. Action brings clarity: Try several small side hustles or projects, analyze the results, and double down on what works and what you enjoy. You don’t have to quit your job unless you want to—side hustles can supplement income, fund investments, or become your main gig if they outpace your current job. Notable Quotes "Stop thinking like a 1980s employee and start thinking like a 2025 gig economy expert." "Work on building a skill stack that gives you an unfair advantage in the marketplace." "You have to be willing to do things without making money at first—work so much it becomes unreasonable for you to not be successful."

    ]]>     1320     Make Money by Avoiding Crushing Student Loans Student Loan Horror Story: A viral video highlights a 26-year-old with $90,000 in student debt paying a staggering 17% interest rate—and after years of $1,500/month payments, she owes more than the original amount. Student loan debt in the U.S. has exploded, rising from $187 billion to $1.4 trillion since 1990, while college costs are up 420%, but starting wages for graduates have only risen about 10% in the same timeframe—barely keeping up with inflation. College: Value, Costs & Alternatives: While college can still offer social, networking, and life-skill advantages, its economic ROI is often questionable unless required for a licensed profession (medicine, law, etc). Travis advocates for apprenticeships, gap years, internships, and real-world experience as superior options for most young people—letting them earn, learn, and avoid or minimize debt. He notes how much of the “go to college” push comes from outdated beliefs, social status games, and pressure from parents seeking legacy or community standing—not just from what’s actually best for the student in today’s economy. Why “Predatory Lending” Applies: Most 17-year-olds can’t get a credit card, but can sign up for tens of thousands in college debt—often without understanding interest or repayment terms. Student debt is uniquely punishing: it cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, and high rates or compound interest can quickly balloon balances, trapping young adults for decades. Practical Advice for Young People & Parents: Parents should help teens be ruthlessly honest about risk, debt, and career clarity before co-signing on massive loans. Young people should: Take a gap year to try different jobs or internships Only consider college if a) the cost is manageable or b) a clear career path requires a degree Use tools like ChatGPT or simple calculators to run interest/amortization scenarios—understand full cost of loans. Seek real-world exposure in target fields before committing—many adults end up not using their major, making huge debts even less justifiable. Big Takeaway: The “American college pathway” is no longer one-size-fits-all. Life is long—choosing work experience, entrepreneurship, trades, or even pausing before college are often smarter risk/reward bets than saddling yourself with unpayable debt. Recommended Actions: Don’t take college-for-college’s-sake advice—research outcomes, run the numbers, and weigh costs. Talk openly with teens about status, debt, and future regrets.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Mon, 01 Sep 2025 22:00:00 -0000 full Travis Chappell Student Loan Horror Story: A viral video highlights a 26-year-old with $90,000 in student debt paying a staggering 17% interest rate—and after years of $1,500/month payments, she owes more than the original amount. Student loan debt in the U.S. has exploded, rising from $187 billion to $1.4 trillion since 1990, while college costs are up 420%, but starting wages for graduates have only risen about 10% in the same timeframe—barely keeping up with inflation. College: Value, Costs & Alternatives: While college can still offer social, networking, and life-skill advantages, its economic ROI is often questionable unless required for a licensed profession (medicine, law, etc). Travis advocates for apprenticeships, gap years, internships, and real-world experience as superior options for most young people—letting them earn, learn, and avoid or minimize debt. He notes how much of the “go to college” push comes from outdated beliefs, social status games, and pressure from parents seeking legacy or community standing—not just from what’s actually best for the student in today’s economy. Why “Predatory Lending” Applies: Most 17-year-olds can’t get a credit card, but can sign up for tens of thousands in college debt—often without understanding interest or repayment terms. Student debt is uniquely punishing: it cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, and high rates or compound interest can quickly balloon balances, trapping young adults for decades.

    ]]>     1398     Make Money by Buying a Franchise | Alex Smereczniak Guest: Alex Smereczniak— Serial entrepreneur, former CEO of 2ULaundry & Laundry Lab (over $100M valuation, 118 franchises sold), founder of Franzy (30,000+ monthly users, $3M+ raised to help people buy “cash-flowing” businesses). Early Hustles & First Big Win: Started with classic entrepreneurial pursuits: trading cards, washing cars as a kid, and then running a laundry delivery business (“Wake Wash”) in college, which he bought for $30,000 and sold for nearly $300,000 after systematizing and scaling it. Learned about discounted cash flow, buy/sell agreements, and the real value of recurring cash flow and business structure early on. Scaling, Strategy, and Differentiation: Moved from a student business to working for a Big Four consulting firm (Ernst & Young), but quickly realized he needed to build businesses—not just advise them. Launched 2ULaundry in 2016: delivered laundry/dry cleaning to homes and businesses, quickly scaling through tech and operations, later vertically integrating by building brick-and-mortar laundromats with Electrolux, and ultimately franchising the model for rapid growth. Grew Laundry Lab to 118 franchise awards and 30 locations open as of 2025. Laundromats as a Business Model: Low failure rate due to essential, “recession proof” services—people always need clean clothes—combined with cash-flow and passive income advantages. The “Power Play”: Buy from retiring owners, retool equipment over time, tap into durable local demand. Challenges, Automation & Venture Backing: Success meant more than cash-flow: his companies required operational discipline, vertical integration, and large capital outlays (laundromat builds exceed $1M). Venture capital was attracted by the “Uber for Laundry” home-delivery angle, but Alex’s model matured into a blend of tech, local infrastructure, and scalable franchising. Why Franchising Needs Disruption — Enter Franzy: Traditional franchise placement is “Wild West,” with brokers sometimes pocketing up to 60% of franchise fees, influencing which opportunities new entrepreneurs see. Franzy’s mission: Take a “Zillow for Franchising” approach—leverage AI for franchise matching (across 4000+ brands), standardized fees, and transparency to empower more everyday people to buy real businesses. Focuses on each buyer’s risk profile, lifestyle, and goals; not just “make the most money,” but “fit the best business to the person.” Franchise Trends & Business Models to Watch: Still bullish on laundromats for certain profiles (cash-flow, de-risked, lifestyle), but now sees huge growth in health & wellness, home services, and viral consumer brands (e.g. PopUp Bagels, HRT clinics, anything innovating with AI or “cult” followings). Anticipates continued “displacement” of white-collar jobs by AI; business ownership, franchising, and “betting on yourself” are the safest long-term play for income and autonomy.

    ]]>     1740     Make Money by Becoming a Man of War | Rafa Conde Guest: Rafa Conde — Founder & CEO of Man of War, former DEA/Narcotics/SWAT officer, best-selling author, host of the Men of War podcast (35M+ downloads), elite leadership coach, and multimillion-dollar entrepreneur. Early Hustle & Lessons: Rafa’s first money came washing cars at age 11, developing a bias for action, self-reliance, and learning to execute before overthinking or overplanning. Early entrepreneurship shaped his long-term drive to “just do it” — a theme he now instills in men seeking discipline and legacy. Wall Street to Law Enforcement: Spent 12 years on Wall Street, managing nearly $1B in assets, establishing himself as a high-producer and eventually running his own branch. Left for a greater sense of purpose, becoming a police officer at age 32 in one of the nation’s most violent cities, later working narcotics, SWAT, and ultimately as a DEA task force officer. Rafa describes giving up material wealth and status and embracing “starting from scratch” as crucial for true growth and reinvention. Law Enforcement, Humility, & Adversity: Made his mark through work ethic and results—leading felony arrests and serving in specialized units (including undercover work and federal task force roles). Learned from major setbacks: lost home, cars, and income in the transition, but rebuilt through tactical training contracts and martial arts instruction, showing lasting resilience and adaptability. Reinvention: Founding Man of War: Later transitioned to building Man of War—a movement and business designed to restore “the warrior mindset” and healthy masculinity through high-impact events, masterminds, and coaching. His podcast "Men of War" surpassed 35 million downloads by championing direct, honest conversations about discipline, code, and male brotherhood in today’s world. Philosophy on Masculinity & Leadership: Key problem: Modern men have grown soft, seeking comfort and avoiding adversity; true growth requires struggle, competition, and camaraderie. Emphasizes leading by example—“If you can’t lead yourself, don’t expect to lead anyone else.” Rejects “false leadership” based on rank—respect must be earned by character, resilience, and the courage to do hard things. Recommends men start with competition (e.g., martial arts) and purposely place themselves in uncomfortable situations to develop confidence, grit, and self-mastery. Programs, Reach, & What’s Next: Man of War now provides elite events (“Crucible”), global masterminds (“House of Kings”), and a fast-growing father-son program (“Odyssey”), expanding across the US, Latin America, Europe, and beyond. Rafa continues to consult for top companies and help men build modern legacies based on strength, discipline, and honor.

Left for a greater sense of purpose, becoming a police officer at age 32 in one of the nation’s most violent cities, later working narcotics, SWAT, and ultimately as a DEA task force officer. Rafa describes giving up material wealth and status and embracing “starting from scratch” as crucial for true growth and reinvention. Law Enforcement, Humility, & Adversity: Made his mark through work ethic and results—leading felony arrests and serving in specialized units (including undercover work and federal task force roles). Learned from major setbacks: lost home, cars, and income in the transition, but rebuilt through tactical training contracts and martial arts instruction, showing lasting resilience and adaptability. Reinvention: Founding Man of War: Later transitioned to building Man of War—a movement and business designed to restore “the warrior mindset” and healthy masculinity through high-impact events, masterminds, and coaching. His podcast "Men of War" surpassed 35 million downloads by championing direct, honest conversations about discipline, code, and male brotherhood in today’s world. Philosophy on Masculinity & Leadership: Key problem: Modern men have grown soft, seeking comfort and avoiding adversity; true growth requires struggle, competition, and camaraderie. Emphasizes leading by example—“If you can’t lead yourself, don’t expect to lead anyone else.” Rejects “false leadership” based on rank—respect must be earned by character, resilience, and the courage to do hard things. Recommends men start with competition (e.g., martial arts) and purposely place themselves in uncomfortable situations to develop confidence, grit, and self-mastery. Programs, Reach, & What’s Next: Man of War now provides elite events (“Crucible”), global masterminds (“House of Kings”), and a fast-growing father-son program (“Odyssey”), expanding across the US, Latin America, Europe, and beyond. Rafa continues to consult for top companies and help men build modern legacies based on strength, discipline, and honor.

    • Early Hustle & Lessons:

      • Rafa’s first money came washing cars at age 11, developing a bias for action, self-reliance, and learning to execute before overthinking or overplanning.

    ]]>     768     Make Money with the Blockchain | Matthew Le Merle Guest: Matthew Le Merle — CEO & Co-Founder of Blockchain Coinvestors, global blockchain VC, early investor in 1200+ startups (Coinbase, Kraken, OpenSea), author, and Silicon Valley board veteran. Background & Early Lessons: Matthew began his working life delivering newspapers as a child in rainy London, developing a lasting sense of responsibility and the importance of “seeing things through.” Earned a scholarship to Oxford for his academic and athletic excellence, then completed an MBA at Stanford. Built a career as a global advisor, executive, private equity leader, and later immersed himself in blockchain innovation. Blockchain Thesis: With 30+ years in Silicon Valley, Matthew saw the digital transformation of communication and content, but recognized a “missing link” for moving value securely over the internet. Blockchain/distributed ledger technology solved foundational challenges for digitizing finance — enabling secure, trustless, peer-to-peer transactions globally, overcoming flaws in traditional banking rails. Co-founded Blockchain Coinvestors, which invests via a fund-of-funds model across hundreds of VC funds and directly into more than 1,200 blockchain startups worldwide, spanning over 110 unicorns. Bitcoin’s Future & Role: While he acknowledges that Bitcoin was a catalyst, Le Merle stresses it’s the underlying technology’s impact on payments, finance, and commerce that’s world-changing. Believes Bitcoin (BTC) has enduring value as a store of value and “sovereign alternative” for people in unstable economies — sees it as “inevitable” that native digital finance will continue to grow globally. However, he notes BTC’s long-term future depends on further technical evolution to enable faster, lower-cost, mass payments — real innovation will be when it is also digital money at global scale, not just a store of value. AI and the Arms Race: Sees both risk and opportunity in the intersection of blockchain, AI, and quantum computing: as threats emerge (e.g., AI-powered codebreaking), blockchain protocols must evolve, and the most secure blockchains—especially Bitcoin—will continue to improve. AI/quantum also unlocks new use cases (micro-payments, automated value flows) that legacy finance simply cannot address, making blockchain infrastructure and security ever more valuable. Venture Landscape & Defensibility: Le Merle’s strategy: back the best VC fund managers, who in turn back top founders at the earliest stages, spreading risk and betting on the mavericks who build breakthrough companies. Warns that in AI (and other tech cycles), even groundbreaking startups can be displaced instantly by a new feature from a giant (e.g., OpenAI, Apple), so founders should build beyond “just a feature”—focus on defensible, deeply integrated solutions. Big Picture & What’s Next: Digital assets, payments, and financial systems will become natively digital—blockchain is still in “early innings.” The best investment opportunities are at the convergence of Web3 and new agent/AI toolkits. Massive tech incumbents (Apple, Google, Microsoft) will keep acquiring—so both quick exits and rare breakout “escape velocity” stories are possible for top startups. 🚀 Travis Makes Money is brought to you by High Level — the all-in-one sales & marketing platform for modern agencies and entrepreneurs.🎁 Get your extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     2039 no     Make Money with Holistic Healing | Lulu Ge Guest: Lulu Ge — Founder & CEO of Elix Healing (elixhealing.com), holistic health entrepreneur, Inc. Female Founder 200, and advocate for women’s hormone health. From Early Hustles to Harvard Boardrooms: Lulu’s first entrepreneurial spark: selling bulk Snickers bars door to door as a kid in California, learning about “arbitrage” before knowing the word. Grew up in an immigrant household that highly valued education (her parents lived through China’s Cultural Revolution, when universities were closed). Corporate Climb and Burnout: After earning degrees from UC San Diego, Columbia, and Wharton, Lulu built a career in management consulting and corporate transformation—eventually managing a $350 million portfolio at Saks Fifth Avenue/Hudson’s Bay. Burned out and failed by traditional healthcare for her periodic, debilitating pain (once bled through her wedding dress, missed work for hormonal issues), Lulu rediscovered her family’s Traditional Chinese Medicine roots—which became a foundation for her business. The Elix Healing Story: Frustrated by a healthcare system that “medicates symptoms instead of rooting out causes,” she consulted TCM doctors and, inspired by her grandfather (a hospital director in Hunan, China), realized the potential of herbal medicine for holistic hormone support. Launched Elix (2020) as the first digital menstrual wellness platform to blend 5,000 years of TCM with clinical research, offering personalized herbal formulas and online health assessments. The assessment even includes submitting a tongue photo—used by TCM to diagnose internal health. Impact & Growth: Hundreds of clinical trials and pilot tests inform Elix’s formulas; real-world results show >90% of users report symptom improvements in the first month. Expanded from remedies for period pain to support PCOS, fibroids, perimenopause, digestion, sleep, and immunity. Elix now offers virtual coaching with TCM practitioners and educational resources on their blog/social channels. Community of 100,000+ followers, recognition in Forbes, Vogue, and Inc, and cited in multiple clinical and women’s wellness studies. Advice and Philosophy: Healthcare should be holistic and personal: There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution—bio-individuality matters (what works for one may worsen symptoms for another). “Periods are a report card for your health”—you shouldn’t have to accept pain and exhaustion as normal. Founding Elix was about democratizing access to ancient (yet evidence-based) healing, empowering clients to be their own advocates, and rebalancing performance and self-care in the modern world. Even for those not ready to try Elix, Lulu encourages small holistic actions—like getting a few minutes of sunlight on waking, or using deep breathing and gratitude to start your day.

    ]]>     1930 no     Make Money by Flipping Thrift Store Finds | Rob & Melissa Stephenson Guests: Rob & Melissa Stephenson — Founders of Flea Market Flipper, full-time eBay resellers and educators Getting Started in Flipping: Rob began flipping nearly 30 years ago, inspired by his parents selling yard sale finds in the newspaper classifieds—long before eBay existed. Melissa joined the business 17 years ago after marrying Rob, initially unsure but quickly realizing the side hustle’s earning potential as Rob “always found a way to pay for everything.” What began as a part-time venture became their full-time business in 2016, jumping from ~$42,000/year (part-time) to $133,000 in their first year full-time. Making the Leap to Full-Time: A turning point came when a change in Rob’s day job benefits forced them to decide whether to search for another job or go “all in” on flipping. Committed to scaling, they switched from low-value, high-volume items to a high-profit, low-volume model—focusing on big-ticket items with $1,000–$2,000 profit per sale. How They Source and Sell: They look for high-retail-value used goods—commercial appliances, gym equipment, cooktops, and other hard-to-find, high-end items—that are undervalued in local markets but sell quickly on eBay to a national/global audience. Classic finds include a $5,000 parking lot security tower bought at auction and flipped for $25,000, and a $500 bus wash resold for $14,500. They source from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, local auctions, garage sales, and thrift stores, then leverage eBay (global reach) for sales. Education & Flea Market Flipper: In 2015, Rob & Melissa launched their blog and eventually the Flipper University course to teach others their system. Their community has grown to over 1,500 students; many members have built part-time or even full-time incomes through flipping. Top Advice for Beginners: Start by flipping unused items around your house to get a feel for platforms and shipping without any risk. Build 50+ positive feedbacks on eBay with smaller items before jumping into high-ticket sales. The “secret weapon”: Learn to fix/repair items with YouTube or local help—often a simple repair makes an item much more valuable. “The money is made in the buy”—always look for great deals, not just selling skills. Industry & Business Model Insights: COVID and Gary Vee’s embrace of flipping brought a surge in public interest, but the space is much more competitive and “noisier” now. Rob & Melissa focus on high-touch, high-value flipping to keep their business defensible against both AI/digital disruption and cheaper/lower-value competitors. Flipping teaches valuable life skills: negotiation, logistics, shipping, sales, research, and business management.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Guests: Rob & Melissa Stephenson — Founders of Flea Market Flipper, full-time eBay resellers and educators

    • Getting Started in Flipping:

      • Rob began flipping nearly 30 years ago, inspired by his parents selling yard sale finds in the newspaper classifieds—long before eBay existed.

      • Melissa joined the business 17 years ago after marrying Rob, initially unsure but quickly realizing the side hustle’s earning potential as Rob “always found a way to pay for everything.”

      • What began as a part-time venture became their full-time business in 2016, jumping from ~$42,000/year (part-time) to $133,000 in their first year full-time.

    • Making the Leap to Full-Time:

      • A turning point came when a change in Rob’s day job benefits forced them to decide whether to search for another job or go “all in” on flipping.

      • Committed to scaling, they switched from low-value, high-volume items to a high-profit, low-volume model—focusing on big-ticket items with $1,000–$2,000 profit per sale.

    • How They Source and Sell:

      • They look for high-retail-value used goods—commercial appliances, gym equipment, cooktops, and other hard-to-find, high-end items—that are undervalued in local markets but sell quickly on eBay to a national/global audience.

      • Classic finds include a $5,000 parking lot security tower bought at auction and flipped for $25,000, and a $500 bus wash resold for $14,500.

      • They source from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, local auctions, garage sales, and thrift stores, then leverage eBay (global reach) for sales.

    • Education & Flea Market Flipper:

      • In 2015, Rob & Melissa launched their blog and eventually the Flipper University course to teach others their system.

      • Their community has grown to over 1,500 students; many members have built part-time or even full-time incomes through flipping.

    • Top Advice for Beginners:

      • Start by flipping unused items around your house to get a feel for platforms and shipping without any risk.

      • Build 50+ positive feedbacks on eBay with smaller items before jumping into high-ticket sales.

      • The “secret weapon”: Learn to fix/repair items with YouTube or local help—often a simple repair makes an item much more valuable.

      • “The money is made in the buy”—always look for great deals, not just selling skills.

    • Industry & Business Model Insights:

      • COVID and Gary Vee’s embrace of flipping brought a surge in public interest, but the space is much more competitive and “noisier” now.

      • Rob & Melissa focus on high-touch, high-value flipping to keep their business defensible against both AI/digital disruption and cheaper/lower-value competitors.

      • Flipping teaches valuable life skills: negotiation, logistics, shipping, sales, research, and business management.

Early Days & First Hustles Grew up in a non-entrepreneurial household; sold baseball cards as a kid, had entrepreneurial “side hustles” in college. Spent much of his 20s battling and recovering from a life-threatening illness. Four years hospitalized, nine surgeries, struggled with painkiller addiction, read hundreds of books — which planted the seeds for future business curiosity. How He Got Into Sales & Startups First tech sales job at 27, encouraged by a friend who noticed Scott’s resilience, competitiveness, and leadership. Sales led to VP/CRO roles at high-growth startups, where Scott built and scaled revenue teams, eventually leading to multiple exits and unicorn valuations. Lessons on Sales as a Career Sales is a pure meritocracy: “If you produce, you get paid. If you don’t, you’re cut — just like athletics.” Outproducing others shouldn’t just lead to the same pay — sales rewards top performers more than most fields. Why Just Being a High-Paid Employee Isn’t Enough Even top execs at successful startups rarely see transformational wealth (example: after a $500M+ exit, the founder gets $20M+, a C-suite leader gets $500K). True wealth comes from moving from “employed” to “owner” — writing books, building communities, conferences, consulting, investing in real estate, launching multiple income streams. The Coming Disruption & Opportunity from AI The rise of AI means most entry-level sales/tech/white-collar jobs will disappear or change radically. The era of corporate security is ending; individuals must think entrepreneurially, diversify income, own their brand, and quickly adapt. Future sales: Only high-level, complex, relationship-driven roles will survive; all “boiler room”/transactional sales will be automated or handled by agents. As commerce increasingly digitizes, the most acute personal/professional needs will be (1) “inner work” (purpose, mental/spiritual health) and (2) experiences/community. Optimism & The New Wave Exponential growth in personalized medicine & health/longevity businesses (AI-powered diagnostics, genetic-driven treatment, biohacking). Massive new opportunities for anything that promotes genuine human connection or personal growth (retreats, mastermind events, experiential learning, spiritual/purpose-driven work).

Medical & Health Longevity Background: Dr. Gross trained at UC Berkeley (Biochemistry & Molecular Biology), George Washington University School of Medicine, UC Irvine (Neurosurgery), and UNM (Spinal Biomechanics). He has decades of frontline experience in spine surgery, sports injuries, regenerative medicine, and now consults on biohacking and longevity. Biohacking & Longevity: Biohacking is essentially circles back to ancient wellness wisdom (eat well, sleep, exercise)—but enhanced by modern science (measuring phytonutrients, leveraging tech like red light, hyperbaric therapy, protein timing, etc). Emphasizes that “prevention” is still the number one defense against the four top causes of death in Western countries; early proactive screening and lifestyle habits remain critical. There is increasing crossover between “traditional medicine” and “naturopathic”/“functional” approaches—Dr. Gross sees this convergence as positive and overdue, but notes resistance still exists in mainstream medicine. Emerging Business Opportunities in the Wellness Space: IV centers, cryotherapy, and retail biohacking clinics (hyperbaric O2, red light therapy, peptides, weight loss clinics, etc.) are booming, especially in health-conscious cities. Low-barrier options: health coaching, nutrition consulting, affiliate/online influencer businesses—Dr. Gross notes people he knows personally earning seven figures as wellness affiliates. Innovations: Short-form EMS (electro-muscular stimulation) workouts, “blood flow restriction” exercise systems, and more. Cancer screening clinics: Now possible with advanced genomics and blood-testing—these are in demand but not widely available through traditional doctors/insurance, opening more avenues for direct-to-consumer providers. Supplementation & Biohacking Basics: “Non-negotiables” for almost everyone: Vitamin D3 (& often K2): Most people are deficient; optimal blood levels promote longevity, reduce inflammation, and lower all-cause mortality. Magnesium: Especially at night for recovery and cellular repair. Creatine: Improves muscle mass, heart health, and brain health; well correlated with longevity. Probiotics: Modern lifestyles make gut health challenging—good probiotic support is important. Nicotine: Can be a cognitive enhancer in low doses and proper delivery (gum/patch, NOT smoking)—but is highly addictive. Other Business/Money Ideas: Successful affiliate and influencer businesses for those passionate about health and wellness. Emphasizes supplement sales (with high trust and real value), personalized coaching, and education are evergreen opportunities. Industry Critique: Criticizes health insurance as a “legal mafia,” noting it often adds cost and hassle while limiting real preventive care. Encourages listeners to be their “own best advocate” for health—don’t rely only on five-minute mainstream doctor visits.

First Dollars & Early Hustle: At 12, worked illegally at a supermarket in Germany, later launched a Santa Claus business delivering gifts (and family messages!) on Christmas Eve. Early work taught the value of money, the realities of management at all levels, and why people must create and be paid for value. Mindset Developed by Adversity: Father died at age 10, grew up with a strong sense of self-reliance and urgency to earn. Immigrant family background; learned that “money is freedom” and that every dollar earned created options. Time spent with East German relatives instilled the lesson that money only matters if it can actually buy value. Spiritual & Emotional Energy: Foundation in faith (Protestant roots) was a crucial “anchor” through hard times and later in life. Dr. Kleinfeld’s new book, Leading to Thrive, stresses the four types of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Advocates for not shying away from love, gratitude, and faith even in the corporate world—even if those topics are often taboo at the boardroom level. Career Guidance & Advancement: Career wasn’t about status, but about maximizing freedom and value creation. The path to more money: “Money comes in exchange for creating value—become indispensable and you’ll gain negotiating power.” Focus less on salary and more on skill acquisition; become a self-starter and continually improve. Key mantra: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Life is too short to waste in situations without progress or fulfillment. Overcoming Fear and Stagnation: Don’t let fear (False Expectations Appearing Real) keep you “stuck”—analyze the true risks, and realize that most bad outcomes never materialize. Lessons from high performers: It’s about energy management (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), not mere time management. Embrace continuous experimentation and agile adjustments—failure is just feedback and learning (Edison paradigm: every failed attempt is progress). Legacy and Regret: Biggest regrets from those at the end of life: not being truer to themselves and not choosing happiness sooner. See happiness as a daily, conscious choice, not something to seek only at the end. Dr. Kleinfeld’s Actionable Advice: Focus on increasing your value to others—money follows value. Regularly reassess: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Invest in managing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy. Don’t let fear dictate your story—break it down and act despite uncertainty. Read and learn from others (“Books condense a lifetime into a few hours—take the shortcut!”).

    ]]>     1290 no     Make Money with Financial Planning | George Stefanou George Stefanou – First-generation Greek-American, Forbes “Best in State” Next Gen Wealth Advisor (2023, 2024), author of Two Comma Wealth, and founder of the financial planning firm Two Comma Wealth. Early Hustle: Grew up working flea markets, managing a coffee stand by 14, learning firsthand about hard work and margins (selling hundreds of cups from a single bulk bag of beans). Family stress on work ethic over formal education (first in his family to finish high school/college). Mindset & Upbringing: Dad: 4th grade education, Greek immigrant roots, championed U.S. for its opportunity. Education wasn’t pressured but encouraged as a path out of manual labor — “you can make a lot more money owning the business than swinging the hammer.” Professional Beginnings: Started at CVS (Florida): progressed from cashier to store management, realized the corporate grind wasn’t for him. Discovered financial advising, took the risk, and built a book of clients from scratch despite early financial hardship. Career in Financial Planning: Earned numerous certifications (to build trust while young). Stresses need for lifelong learning and combining IQ and EQ for real success with clients. About Two Comma Wealth (the book): Written for both consumers and industry peers. Focuses on actionable strategies for surpassing $1M net worth, but especially on what changes after you cross that threshold: Complexity, emotional swings with market volatility, nuances around distributions, withdrawal rates, taxes, and estate planning. Challenges of first-generation wealth (scarcity mindset, fear of spending, finding balance between living now and preserving legacy). Aims to demystify wealth management for “everyday millionaires.” Certified Financial Planner Career Path: Entry routes: Broker/dealer, fee-only/RIAs, or hybrid. Education/licensing: Can get entry-level securities licenses in months; advanced credentials (CFP, CFA) take years but build a valuable career “moat.” Highly front-loaded: Most start with low/no pay, lots of cold prospecting, high attrition/turnover. Significant success and six/seven figures possible for those that break through. Modern firms now offer more support, salary, and training versus the old eat-what-you-kill model. The Power of Having a Moat: High difficulty of becoming a trusted CFP means fewer competitors once you succeed, and deeper, more meaningful client relationships. Final Takeaways: CFPs and financial planners can have massive, positive multigenerational impact—if they combine technical skill with empathy and true service. The field is very challenging at first but extremely rewarding. Barriers to entry and trust are a signal that the opportunity is real.

    ]]>     1730 no     Make Money as a Business Broker | Trent Lee Trent Lee — #1 ranked business broker in the U.S. seven years in a row, with 600+ closed sales totaling over $200M in deals and more than $15M in personal commission. Early hustle: Painted address numbers on neighborhood curbs and mowed lawns — learned value creation early. Current role: Licensed business broker & appraiser. Specializes in small to mid-sized businesses, valuations, and finding qualified buyers through cash, SBA loans, or seller financing. How he got here: Inspired watching his father sell his 700-employee company (private equity deal). Learned firsthand how CPAs, attorneys, and buyers operate in M&A. Started and sold businesses (financing consulting & medical alert response center). Frustrated with brokers he worked with → became one himself. How to become a business broker: Licensing depends on the state (some require real estate + broker permit, others none). Associations like IBBA help standardize training/education. Strong background in accounting, contracts, negotiations, and marketing is essential. Challenge: takes 12+ months before first commissions hit; most fail because they run out of money before their first big close. Earnings potential: Smaller deals: 8–15% commission. Larger/private equity deals: lower %. First year = expect $0 while building pipeline. Year 2+, even a few deals ($500K–$2M businesses) → six figures+. Industry is older (often second careers), but huge opportunity for those who survive the ramp-up. Why brokerage over ownership? Trent opts not to buy businesses himself. Brokerage gives income without employees, leases, or headaches. He’s built wealth through business sales commissions, investing proceeds into 24 fully paid rental properties. Why so few business brokers? Most owners don’t even know brokers exist (unlike real estate). Lack of awareness & high skill bar keeps supply small — which means big opportunity for specialists. For Buyers: Buying an existing business = easier path to cash flow than startups. Zero-money-down deals are rare clickbait; you’ll usually need ~10% down. Can come from: personal cash/savings, self-directed retirement accounts, equity partner, or combination of buyer + seller financing. Buying with 0% down = 100% leverage → dangerous if market fluctuates. Better: leverage smartly so downturns = inconvenient, not devastating. Brokerage is a lucrative but long game; plan financially for the first year with no income. For buyers, don’t chase unicorn “zero down” structures — get creative but realistic with 10% in. Buying an existing cash-flowing business is almost always better than starting from scratch.

    ]]>     1920 no     Make Money with Conscious Capitalism | Eva Yazhari Eva Yazhari — Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Ventures, early-stage investor, author of The Good Your Money Can Do, and advocate for conscious capitalism. Her funds have backed 50+ equity and 9 debt investments, reaching over 100 million customers across Africa and India. First and most recent dollar: First job: Working at a Staten Island bread shop. Today: Managing partner of a venture + private credit fund investing in emerging markets with LP capital. Family background & mindset: Father grew up in Tanzania; grandfather a medical doctor working with Catholic missions — early exposure shaped her view of Africa as opportunity, not risk. Parents were artists — exposure to art trained her in pattern recognition, now one of her investor superpowers. Education & mindset pivots: Started pre-med at Columbia → realized it was toxic competition. Pivoted to math, discovering both aptitude and love of problem solving. Training in mathematics = fluency in patterns, language of money, and risk analysis. Early career: VP at Entrust Capital (fund of hedge funds). Employee #2 → helped scale from $200M → $4.8B AUM. Managed relationships with activist hedge fund giants like Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. Learned portfolio building, risk management, and fundraising skills that later became core to her VC work. Why venture capital in Africa & India? By 2050, 1 in 4 humans will be African; India today has the world’s largest working-age population. 53% of the next decade’s growth will come from these regions. Saw contrarian “alpha” opportunity most Western investors still dismiss. Sectors of focus: Healthcare Fintech Mobility Agtech (selectively) All are tech-enabled, solving essential problems for fast-growing middle classes. Conscious capitalism lens: Portfolio companies think beyond profits → align incentives with customers, governments, communities. Example: Rwanda’s first licensed online pharmacy; startup scaling e-motorbikes after gas bikes banned. Beyond Capital gives founders a share of fund profits — equitable ownership model. Fundraising lessons: Fundraising is sales math: Eva raised her second fund after 550+ investor meetings → ~30–40 LPs. Funnel has to be very wide. Mindset matters: Rejections happen, but abundance mindset drives momentum. Referrals are gold: “Every dud knows a stud” — rejections often connect you to your best investors. Exude confidence from a clear strategy — investors back comfort + conviction. Personal insights: Considers herself an entrepreneur, not just an allocator. Believes leadership skills are as critical as financial acumen. Thinks of her fund as her “third child.” Alternate career: Pop star. Dream chat: Emma Grede (helped Kardashian brands scale). Learning style: Podcasts, audiobooks, physical books. Reading now: The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle. Her book: The Good Your Money Can Do. Pump-up song: The Rapture Pt. 3 by Black Coffee.

    ]]>     2259 no     Make Money by Offering Marketing Incentives | John Dwyer John Dwyer — founder of The Institute of Wow, direct response marketing expert, and creator of standout campaigns (including a rare Jerry Seinfeld deal) that help businesses win without competing on price.

Free IP example: Attack of the Dinosaurs collectible promo netted $500K in 4 weeks. Seinfeld home loan campaign: Replaced rate discounts with a free vacation, resulting in billions in extra loans. Incentives over discounts: Low‑cost/high‑perceived‑value rewards take focus off price — must match what the audience wants. Turf farm + premium beer bonus = sold out in days. Loyalty rewards swapped for movie vouchers boosted response. Ultimate incentive — travel: Access to unsold hotel rooms sold as bulk vouchers (~$48 special). Works for big‑ticket and demo offers; Harley dealers see ~3.5 sales per 10 test rides. Same cost as a 10% discount, far more pulling power. Doesn’t work for every sector (e.g., funerals).

    ]]>     1659 no     Make Money by Buying Cash-Flowing Businesses in 30 Days | Ann Pells Ann Pells shows aspiring entrepreneurs how to acquire already profitable, professionally managed small businesses that can net $10K/month—while requiring only about an hour a week to oversee. Drawing on her own journey from financial crisis to portfolio business owner, Ann explains how to find, fund, and operate recession-resistant companies without becoming a full-time operator yourself. On this episode we cover: From pink slip to passive ownershipYears ago, Ann’s family was blindsided when her husband was laid off—their only income source at the time. With three young kids, she vowed never to rely on one job again. After trying time-intensive real estate investing, she realized she needed teams and systems to create income without 60–80 hour work weeks. The turning pointFive years ago, she discovered a funding and management team (via a 5‑minute YouTube video) that helped her pay off her house in five years and access $200K for business acquisitions. That same team now helps her—and her clients—find, vet, fund, and manage those businesses. First acquisition Type: Water delivery service (home essentials niche) Structure: Partnered with ~10 existing investors, stepped into a deal mid-process with management team in place. Why that industry: Recession-resistant necessity (like plumbing, HVAC, medical, funeral homes, etc.). Deal sourcing Common public marketplaces: BizBuySell, Website Closers, etc. Ann’s management team does the research, shortlists candidates that match her criteria, and later operates the business post-close. Location can be local or remote if a strong manager is in place. Buyer criteria Target: ~25% profit margin Industries with steady demand regardless of economy. Prefer businesses already running well—opportunities to add tech or optimization for increased value at resale. Always buy with an exit strategy in mind (3–5 year horizon), even if planning to hold long term. Financing approaches Revenue-based financing: Loans underwritten on the target business’s financials, not the buyer’s personal credit. Seller financing where possible. Partnering to share risk and split profits. Her current portfolio 4 operating businesses Purchasing 2 more now Leverages same management/funding network for all deals Practical Advice for Aspiring Acquirers: Think recession resistance: Focus on “needs” industries like home services, healthcare, essentials. Use other people’s expertise: Partner with existing managers and acquisition pros—don’t try to play every role. Let the numbers guide you: Profit margin, stable cash flow, and solid P&L history matter more than “charm” or trendiness. Ask “How can I?” not “Can I?” — Shifts your brain into solution-finding mode. Top 3 Takeaways: Buying beats building: Acquire something already working with cash flow and processes in place. Partnering & management = leverage: You don’t need to personally operate the business to benefit from it. Funding is out there: Revenue-based and seller financing can drastically reduce or eliminate upfront out-of-pocket costs. Notable Quotes: “Instead of telling ourselves we can’t, ask: How can I?” “We don’t buy to give ourselves another job—we buy with management teams in place so it’s hours a week, not hours a day.” “Recession-resistant means: people need it whether the economy booms or busts.” Connect with Ann Pells: Website: lifegiverlegacy.com How to Have Ann's Team Help You Acquire and Manage a Business That Makes at Least $10K a Month With Just One Hour a Week of Your Time 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level — the all‑in‑one sales & marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals — all from one powerful platform.🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

With 100+ employees and multiple Las Vegas locations, Josh has built beloved food & coffee brands from scratch while also mentoring students and supporting community nonprofits. Lessons & Practical Advice for Aspiring Café Owners: Be endlessly curious. Call the planning, building, and fire departments before you sign anything — learn the build‑out hurdles and code requirements. Mind the capital needs. A proper commercial kitchen hood and grease trap can run $80–100K alone. Save aggressively and protect your credit so you can bring capital to the table.

Start small & build presence. Consider a coffee cart/truck or popup to prove your concept and audience before a full‑scale lease.

    2. Volume + Hooks = Sales: Consistent posting with curiosity‑driven openers and problem‑solving demos drives clicks and conversions.

    3. Start broad, then niche: Test everything early—double down on categories where your videos convert best.

    Notable Quotes:

    • “The hook at the beginning is everything—if you lose them there, nothing else matters.”

    • “I made my yearly salary in the military in one month on TikTok.”

    • “Pick products you can visually solve a problem with—it’s easier to sell what you can show.”

    ]]>     1816 no     Make Money with Sales and Leadership Coaching | Marc Nudelberg Marc Nudelberg’s journey bridges high-level athletics and entrepreneurship. Having started in the pressure-cooker of college football coaching, Marc now leads On The Ball as president, transforming it into a renowned sales and leadership coaching company. His passion: helping individuals and organizations cultivate high-performance cultures, modern business development strategies, and the “1% better every day” mindset. On this episode we talk about: First lessons in helping and performance: Even as a child, Marc instinctively motivated others to move on from past successes and focus on continuous improvement. The power of sweat equity: At Florida State, he sacrificed high-paying family business opportunities to coach football and learn through action—not expecting pay, but investing in growth and relationships. Pursuing passion over profit (at first): Rather than follow the traditional (and easier) route to money, Marc chose to chase what truly interested him—understanding that real value comes from helping others, not simply chasing sales. Navigating big career choices: Given the chance to coach after college (at the poverty line), Marc chose passion over immediate money—knowing it was a now-or-never opportunity. Ten years in coaching = real-world MBA: From the realities of being fired to the requirement of always expanding his network, Marc learned resilience, adaptability, and how to thrive in chaotic environments—lessons that seamlessly translated into business and entrepreneurship. Modern sales mastery: After leaving coaching, he spearheaded business development for ESPN's local markets, winning rookie of the year by deploying modern outbound strategies—using LinkedIn, video, and personalized outreach, not just cold calls/emails. Leadership at On The Ball: Marc and his family have reimagined the company: from marketing agency to a human development, sales, and leadership training firm devoted to building high-impact, high-performance communities. The entrepreneur's edge: True entrepreneurship is about proactively shaping your life—taking personal responsibility, leveraging your network, and turning adversity into opportunity. Marc highlights that this path is now more accessible than ever, but only works if you root what you do in real passion and purpose. **#1 skill for making moreoney today: Communication. Marc emphasizes mastering video, digital presence, and conversational skills as the highest-leverage ability for anyone looking to start, grow, or pivot a business. Step one for side-hustlers: Start talking! Whether your idea is still just an idea or you’re refining a side hustle, sharing it (in person, on video, or via email) is the only way to validate opportunities and turn intention into income. Top 3 Takeaways Sweat Equity First, Money Follows: Early-stage investment in skills, network, and helping others lays the foundation for outsized future earnings. Communication Is the Ultimate Multiplier: Video, digital presence, and clear messaging are the fastest path to attention, opportunity, and sales in the modern economy.

    ]]>     1497 no     Make Money with the Home Run Financial System | Mike Milan Mike Milan—better known as Cash Flow Mike—is a former state trooper turned serial entrepreneur who’s built 14 businesses and helped generate more than $50 million in improved cash flow for clients. His “Home Run Financial System” has been taught to over 25,000 bankers, accountants, and business owners, specializing in unlocking hidden cash, controlling growth, and transforming profitability into real, usable money. On this episode we talk about: Early work ethic: Mike’s first jobs included 5+ years as a dishwasher, busboy, waiter, and bartender—roles that forced him out of his comfort zone and developed world-class people skills he credits for much of his later business success. The people advantage: Why real-world, high-contact service jobs (sales, restaurants, bar tending, etc.) build skills and confidence that pay dividends for a lifetime—arguably more than most college classes. Career pivots, family, and mindset: Mike became a Texas state trooper after college, enjoying the physical challenge and structure. But with a rapidly growing family (four daughters!), he soon realized that even a "secure" government job—with mapped-out raises and guaranteed pensions—was never going to match their expenses or aspirations. The leap to entrepreneurship: Despite "golden handcuffs" and the risk of leaving behind a salary, benefits, and security, Mike left his state position at age 29. He candidly discusses the fear, sacrifice, and tradeoffs required—but also the freedom and upside that followed. How he did it: Mike’s transition to business owner started with a janitorial company (using military and law enforcement skills for discipline and attention to detail). When a client asked him to help recruit reliable workers, he identified a more leveraged model—staffing and placement for hotels—which allowed him to scale without personally doing all the cleaning. The cash flow difference: Mike explains the practicalities of launching a business as a parent—leaning on savings, maxing out credit cards, and maintaining razor-sharp focus. He underscores how true cash flow (not just accounting profit) lets businesses—and families—survive and thrive. Actionable advice: It is never "too late" to start over. The stories of Dave Thomas (Wendy’s) and Colonel Sanders are reminders that the entrepreneurial window is always open if you’re willing to take the risk, sacrifice, and learn new skills. The Home Run Financial System: Mike’s system transforms intimidating financials into step-by-step strategies for real-world business owners—because profit doesn’t pay the bills, cash does. Family, finances, and risk: For listeners with mouths to feed and bills to pay, Mike unpacks how he navigated saving, borrowing, and mitigating risk—acknowledging that while it’s never easy, the upside is worth it. Top 3 Takeaways Soft Skills Unlock Hard Money: Jobs that force you to interact with thousands of people (restaurant, sales, service) prepare you for entrepreneurship better than any textbook. You Can’t Cut Your Way to Wealth: There’s a limit to how much you can save—at some point you must focus on income expansion, risk, and leveraging opportunity. There’s No Perfect Moment, Only a Leap: Whether you’re 29 (like Mike), 49, or 59, the decision to leave "security" for self-employment is always hard—but it’s often the right move, even with a family and established life.

    ]]>     1461 no     Make Money with Classic Car Events | Darin Roberge Darin Roberge is a veteran executive, analyst, and thought leader in the collector and classic car scene. As president of Motor Works Marketing, publisher of the Z 260 newsletter series, and current caretaker of Arizona Car Week, Darin has helped shape the future of America’s most iconic car events while championing nonprofit causes and classic car culture. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle lessons: From picking up dog poop at a humane society to refereeing youth basketball, Darin learned early the value of doing work you genuinely care about—and how passion can shape a career. Pursuing what you love: Darin’s entire professional life has revolved around his core interests—animals, guitars, cars, and motorcycles. He describes his path not as accidental, but as a blend of deliberate choices and seizing “right place, right time” opportunities. Unusual entry to the car business: After attending car auctions for years, a fateful incident (his girlfriend slipping and falling on a car at an event) led to a backstage introduction to the CEO of Russo and Steele. Within months, Darin went from punk rock frontman and nightclub promotions to a leadership role at one of the industry’s major auction houses. Reinvention and loss: The sudden career shift wasn’t easy—Darin lost friendships and faced accusations of “selling out.” He discusses the emotional fallout, what it means to outgrow old circles, and why ultimately you’re the only one responsible for making decisions that serve your future self. Mindset and skill-building: Darin credits humility, a willingness to learn, and constantly offering value as his keys to success, both in the boardroom and as a leader in car culture. Leveling up in the industry: Now as the head of Arizona Car Week, Darin has tripled the size of the event, rallying the local community to create a car show that includes 30+ events—many of them free—making the culture accessible to everyone, not just millionaire collectors.

As president of Motor Works Marketing, publisher of the Z 260 newsletter series, and current caretaker of Arizona Car Week, Darin has helped shape the future of America’s most iconic car events while championing nonprofit causes and classic car culture. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle lessons: From picking up dog poop at a humane society to refereeing youth basketball, Darin learned early the value of doing work you genuinely care about—and how passion can shape a career. Pursuing what you love: Darin’s entire professional life has revolved around his core interests—animals, guitars, cars, and motorcycles. He describes his path not as accidental, but as a blend of deliberate choices and seizing “right place, right time” opportunities. Unusual entry to the car business: After attending car auctions for years, a fateful incident (his girlfriend slipping and falling on a car at an event) led to a backstage introduction to the CEO of Russo and Steele. Within months, Darin went from punk rock frontman and nightclub promotions to a leadership role at one of the industry’s major auction houses. Reinvention and loss: The sudden career shift wasn’t easy—Darin lost friendships and faced accusations of “selling out.” He discusses the emotional fallout, what it means to outgrow old circles, and why ultimately you’re the only one responsible for making decisions that serve your future self. Mindset and skill-building: Darin credits humility, a willingness to learn, and constantly offering value as his keys to success, both in the boardroom and as a leader in car culture. Leveling up in the industry: Now as the head of Arizona Car Week, Darin has tripled the size of the event, rallying the local community to create a car show that includes 30+ events—many of them free—making the culture accessible to everyone, not just millionaire collectors.

    ]]>     1697 no     Make Money with Agencies | Eli Rubel Eli Rubel is a serial entrepreneur, best known as the "Agency Profitability Guy." Since 2020, his portfolio of agencies has produced over $9.8M in profits—all while maintaining part-time hours and full-time freedom. In this episode, Eli breaks down exactly how anyone can build (or scale) a service business—plus what it takes to turn it into a lifestyle asset that runs without you. On this episode we talk about: Eli’s entrepreneurial roots: setting up a photo studio in his parents’ garage, learning the lessons of low-wage jobs (room service at an hourly motel), and how early initiative shaped his career vision Starting and scaling agencies: from his first agency, Matter Made (a B2B performance marketing shop), to No Boring Design (brand/design for SaaS companies), and Profit Labs (helping agency owners boost profit margins) Why agency services are the ideal scalable side hustle: you can start solo as a freelancer, ramp up to replace (or surpass) your day-job income, and ultimately build a seven-figure company with qualified operators The proven roadmap for new agency founders: identify in-demand services (paid media, design, marketing automation, sales support, cold email, etc.), connect with industry experts, and model the playbook on what works—no need to reinvent the wheel Eli’s personal story: pivoting from CEO of VC-backed startups and e-commerce turnarounds to building cash-generating, low-stress agencies that let him spend more time with family ("the tricycle life") The playbook: how Eli went from $0 to $40,000/month in personal net income within three months by leveraging his network, hiring great operators, and focusing on what he does best—relationships, vision, and assembling world-class teams The agency profit formula: stop doing the technical work yourself, hire/partner with people you trust, and empower them to do what you can’t (or won’t) Why AI is about to disrupt agencies—why you should “make hay while there’s hay to be made,” but prepare for a new wave where niche expertise and AI/automation consulting become the next big opportunities How AI agencies (helping local businesses implement and automate with tools like HighLevel) could be the new “social media agency” gold rush for ambitious, young, or tech-savvy entrepreneurs Eli’s advice: focus first on what’s proven to bring in revenue, then use your earnings and freedom to pursue higher-purpose projects or passion businesses down the road Top 3 Takeaways Agencies Offer Scalable, Flexible Income: Proven models like paid media, design, and marketing are easy to start and scale—no reinvention needed, just execution and networking. Play to Your Unique Strengths: Don’t force yourself to do what you hate—partner with those who are better at the technical work, and focus on your unique edge (relationships, vision, operations, deal-making). AI is the Next Massive Opportunity: Traditional agencies will be squeezed by AI, but that creates demand for those who can help small businesses adopt, automate, and run leaner-than-ever operations. Notable Quotes “Within three months we’d already surpassed my goal—$40,000 a month net income—and by three years, we’d produced $7M in profit.” “I have never deployed a single client dollar or been inside of a client’s ad account since 2020.

As founder of The Well Recruiting Solutions, he now builds revenue-generating teams for advisory firms, aiming to empower 1,000+ clients by 2030. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle: commercial fishing in Alaska, learning at 14 the difference between working for a check and owning the business His first true entrepreneurial venture—sealing driveways, scaling a six-figure business by the end of college, and the lesson he learned when he simply shut it down instead of selling it Why Steven ultimately turned down a prestigious ROTC scholarship and a Navy career path to pursue entrepreneurship and finance His entry into financial services, starting as an intern at New York Life, becoming a top-producing advisor, and why being surrounded by high performers forced him to level up Lessons from sales and financial advising—mastering rejection, discipline, and the numbers game ("Whoever’s willing to be told 'no' the most wins fastest") How being in the right environment and seeing other people succeed reframed what's possible, pushing him to greater heights Reaching financial milestones by 30—making $500K/yr, giving away and saving large percentages, but discovering money alone doesn't bring fulfillment or lasting happiness The personal finance strategy that enabled freedom: maximizing cash value life insurance and variable universal life for tax-free, flexible, and compound growth (plus why he prefers guaranteed accounts over variable for business owners) Navigating the transition out of a lucrative corporate job: searching for purpose, listening to intuition, and eventually being "pushed" into launching his own firm after a job opportunity disappeared How The Well Recruiting Solutions emerged from listening, networking, and recognizing a deep need for white-glove recruiting in wealth management; now scaled to nearly 30 employees with a future goal of $1B in revenue The difference between grinding for someone else and building for yourself—now hiring for his strengths and delegating everything else for maximum impact and fulfillment Top 3 Takeaways Ownership > High Salary: Building long-term wealth and fulfillment comes from owning and growing businesses, not just earning a high paycheck.

    ]]>     1619     Make Money with All-Natural Supplements | Larry Puckett Larry Puckett is a world-renowned venture capitalist and entrepreneur who’s grown businesses from humble beginnings to multi-million dollar companies in finance, technology, distribution, and now all-natural supplements. Despite starting with very little, Larry’s career arc is one of persistence, reinvention, and finding repeatable success—especially when life (and business) go sideways. On this episode we talk about: Growing up with hardworking parents, learning about scarcity, and developing a relentless work ethic cutting lawns and hustling for every dollar Learning (by necessity) that hard work doesn’t always equal good money—and why working harder for someone else isn’t the long-term answer Early entrepreneurial setbacks: pouring money into a golf apparel company without building an audience, failing fast, and picking up critical lessons for the next time The first real business win: starting an industrial lighting company that grew by focusing on client relationships and solving a basic, boring problem better than competitors Missing the “obvious”—the lesson in seeing (or overlooking) the next big vertical when you’re too close to your own business Making the leap (twice) from a steady, high-paying job to bet it all on a vision: burning the bridges, sacrificing luxuries, selling personal items, and even delivering groceries to keep the dream alive The challenge and opportunity of entrepreneurship at 50+—why it’s never too late to dream bigger or set a new example for your kids (and grandkids) Evolving from MLM to corporate roles, then to launching Theon Global—a debt-free, e-commerce supplement brand that went profitable in its first three days entirely through organic, audience-first marketing Mistakes in business partnerships, trusting too fast, and learning that doing it yourself (with the right people) is often best The importance of a mission-driven business: helping people live healthier lives with all-natural, all-organic alternatives Top 3 Takeaways You’re Never “Too Late”: Larry relaunched at age 50+—after big wins and major losses—proving age and circumstance are rarely the true barriers to entrepreneurship. Boring Businesses Can Bring Big Wins: Success doesn’t require inventing the next “hot” thing; doing the basics better than anyone else is a winning formula. Risk is Required—But Stack the Deck: Burn the bridges if you must, but minimize regret by preparing financially, learning from every setback, and building around proven audiences. Notable Quotes “We just stopped cold turkey...but about nine months in, it went from a lot of money to nothing. That’s when we decided: there’s no going back.

Despite starting with very little, Larry’s career arc is one of persistence, reinvention, and finding repeatable success—especially when life (and business) go sideways. On this episode we talk about: Growing up with hardworking parents, learning about scarcity, and developing a relentless work ethic cutting lawns and hustling for every dollar Learning (by necessity) that hard work doesn’t always equal good money—and why working harder for someone else isn’t the long-term answer Early entrepreneurial setbacks: pouring money into a golf apparel company without building an audience, failing fast, and picking up critical lessons for the next time The first real business win: starting an industrial lighting company that grew by focusing on client relationships and solving a basic, boring problem better than competitors Missing the “obvious”—the lesson in seeing (or overlooking) the next big vertical when you’re too close to your own business Making the leap (twice) from a steady, high-paying job to bet it all on a vision: burning the bridges, sacrificing luxuries, selling personal items, and even delivering groceries to keep the dream alive The challenge and opportunity of entrepreneurship at 50+—why it’s never too late to dream bigger or set a new example for your kids (and grandkids) Evolving from MLM to corporate roles, then to launching Theon Global—a debt-free, e-commerce supplement brand that went profitable in its first three days entirely through organic, audience-first marketing Mistakes in business partnerships, trusting too fast, and learning that doing it yourself (with the right people) is often best The importance of a mission-driven business: helping people live healthier lives with all-natural, all-organic alternatives Top 3 Takeaways You’re Never “Too Late”: Larry relaunched at age 50+—after big wins and major losses—proving age and circumstance are rarely the true barriers to entrepreneurship.

Having raised over $125M from investors, he oversees a team of 100+, is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and podcast host. Andrew embodies the first-generation entrepreneur scaling from small “no money down” deals to leading nine-figure institutional real estate investments. On this episode we talk about: Andrew’s beginnings: working restaurant jobs in high school, reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and buying his first duplex straight out of college—with literally no money, no experience, and no credit Creative real estate deals before the Great Financial Crisis: stacking first and second mortgages for $20K in cash at closing, and holding through 2008 due to conservative numbers Growing from “house hacking” to 20 units while working at PNC Bank—then going all in on real estate entrepreneurship The start of Birgo Capital: launching the first $10M fund (ultimately oversubscribed at $17M) by innovating deal structure and aligning incentives with investors How he raised capital early: putting his own money in every deal, personally guaranteeing debt, and refusing management fees so all profit came from performance and carried interest Evolving capital structures as the company grew, with bigger investors seeking more traditional private equity fee models The “alignment of incentives” philosophy: why reputation, stewardship, and risk-sharing drive trust and investor confidence Mindset: expecting big outcomes, focusing on stewardship, and building toward $1B in assets under management Advice for new investors—how the right deal structure, total transparency, and performance alignment become powerful capital-raising tools Top 3 Takeaways Alignment of Incentives Raises Capital: Early success in raising millions comes from putting your own money on the line, personally guaranteeing loans, and only getting paid after your investors get paid—a structure that’s impossible to say no to. From Small Deals to Big Funds: Anyone can start with “no money down”—but scaling to “big money raised” requires obsession with stewardship, track record, and structuring win-win deals for both small and large investors.

    ]]>     1775     Make Money by Beating the Stock Market | Sean Tepper Sean Tepper is the founder and CEO of Tikr, a software platform empowering everyday people to confidently invest in individual stocks. Before launching Tikr,, Sean mastered a system for generating consistent 15–50% annual returns in the stock market—with some years surpassing 100%. Today, Tikr, serves over 12,000 customers in more than 50 countries, combining technology, smart design, and a value investor’s discipline to help regular investors outperform the S&P. On this episode we talk about: Sean’s journey from picking strawberries and playing real-time strategy games to building a career in marketing, starting an agency, and investing in stocks The limitations of traditional education for creative and entrepreneurial thinkers—and how gaming taught Sean more about real-world strategy and multiple income streams than school ever could How Sean transitioned from agency work to investing, then eventually built his own SaaS business without raising outside capital The step-by-step process that took him from Excel spreadsheet to global SaaS platform, all while bootstrapping and keeping expenses lean Why businesses (especially SaaS) are more scalable than real estate, and how stock investing in carefully chosen companies can outpace buy-and-hold real estate strategies Sean’s approach to value investing, using Tikr, to find and monitor 10–15 high-potential stocks at a time, and switching to index funds for wealth preservation closer to retirement The critical importance of confidence and education for first-time investors—and why most people lose money trading instead of investing How Tikr, works (and doesn’t touch your money), using its own green–yellow–red rating system and push notifications to signal when to buy or sell Top 3 Takeaways Start Where You Are, Then Leverage Up: Build skills and income with what you have—then invest in scalable businesses or stocks to create real wealth. Invest, Don’t Trade: 99% of traders lose money; all billionaire stock-market fortunes are built through long-term investing, not day trading.

After a career in public service, Walli reached financial independence and now helps high-achieving, primarily first-generation women build wealth, create financial freedom, and design a life they love. Through her private coaching business, Walli empowers others to rewrite their money stories and achieve what once felt impossible. On this episode we talk about: Walli’s first job in New York City through the Summer Youth Program and what it taught her about work and money Her transition from public service to financial independence, reaching millionaire status, and retiring early—all on a government salary The generational impact of money mindsets, and why credit, wealth, and financial habits are “hereditary” The “aha!” moment that changed Walli’s relationship with money and launched her journey to wealth How she used tax-advantaged accounts, intentional saving, and mindset shifts to build seven figures in her stock portfolio The importance of automating savings, increasing investments gradually, and eliminating mindless spending The difference between math and mindset: why 80% of financial success is mental and emotional Her path from unpaid coaching to a thriving coaching business—helping others, especially women and people of color, break cycles and become work-optional The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, and what it looks like to be “work optional” Top 3 Takeaways Financial independence is possible without a massive salary—strategic saving, investing, and automation can build real wealth. Money stories and mindsets inherited from childhood play a huge role in our financial behaviors; changing the narrative is key to breaking cycles.

    ]]>     1793     Make Money by Improving the Medical Industry | Dr. Erin Nance Dr. Erin Nance is a board-certified surgeon, multimedia powerhouse, and serial entrepreneur working at the evolving intersection of medicine, media, and technology. Running a thriving hand surgery private practice in New York City, she’s also the founder of Fuel Better Health (the first health-focused social media platform), host of The Medical Detectives podcast (top 0.5% globally), and a top 1% TikTok creator. With a six-figure book deal and television projects in development, Dr. Nance is reshaping how trusted health information is shared and accessed—while challenging the status quo for doctors, patients, and entrepreneurs alike. On this episode we talk about: Dr. Nance’s path from family of doctors to launching a solo hand surgery practice in New York City when her initial job offer was rescinded The surprising decline of entrepreneurial doctors: from most physicians owning their practice to 70% now being hospital or private-equity employed The hurdles of starting a practice as a new surgeon—upfront costs, lack of business loans, long payment cycles, and the reality of malpractice insurance Why so few doctors choose entrepreneurship today, and the cost-prohibitive system facing new graduates with high student debt The shift in healthcare economics—the managed care trade-off, insurance company dominance, and a 30%+ drop in physician reimbursements in 25 years How out-of-network and direct-pay models put ownership and care control back in the hands of doctors (and patients), and what it takes to build a brand patients will come to on their own The persistent crisis of medical access, transparency, and patient navigation in the insurance/healthcare system Dr. Nance’s drive to create platforms (like Fuel Better Health) and high-impact media to combat health misinformation and connect patients with credible resources and each other Her viral content journey—why millions of people seek out authentic, expert medical stories online, and the urgent threat of unvetted health advice Top 3 Takeaways Entrepreneurship in Medicine is Scarce—but Needed: The modern healthcare landscape makes it nearly impossible for most young doctors to start their own practice, but those who do gain freedom, direct patient impact, and unique influence. Insurance Has Severely Undermined Physician Autonomy: Managed care and fee setting mean less pay for physicians, rushed care for patients, and increasingly complex financial/conflict barriers for all. Credible Health Content & Communities are Critical: The future of health information is expert-driven digital platforms—empowering patients with trustworthy resources and community, not algorithmic misinformation. Notable Quotes “I was only one out of 750 orthopedic surgeons to start their own practice straight out of fellowship.” “Now, 70% of all physicians are employed by either a hospital system or a private equity group.” “For physicians over the past 25 years, reimbursement for the same procedure has decreased by 30%.” “Medical misinformation is probably the most dangerous public health threat we’re facing as a society.” Connect with Dr. Erin Nance: TikTok: @littlemisdiagnosed Practice: NanceMD.com 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    • The shift in healthcare economics—the managed care trade-off, insurance company dominance, and a 30%+ drop in physician reimbursements in 25 years

    • How out-of-network and direct-pay models put ownership and care control back in the hands of doctors (and patients), and what it takes to build a brand patients will come to on their own

    • The persistent crisis of medical access, transparency, and patient navigation in the insurance/healthcare system

    • Dr. Nance’s drive to create platforms (like Fuel Better Health) and high-impact media to combat health misinformation and connect patients with credible resources and each other

    • Her viral content journey—why millions of people seek out authentic, expert medical stories online, and the urgent threat of unvetted health advice

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Entrepreneurship in Medicine is Scarce—but Needed: The modern healthcare landscape makes it nearly impossible for most young doctors to start their own practice, but those who do gain freedom, direct patient impact, and unique influence.

    2. Insurance Has Severely Undermined Physician Autonomy: Managed care and fee setting mean less pay for physicians, rushed care for patients, and increasingly complex financial/conflict barriers for all.

    3. Credible Health Content & Communities are Critical: The future of health information is expert-driven digital platforms—empowering patients with trustworthy resources and community, not algorithmic misinformation.

    Notable Quotes

    • “I was only one out of 750 orthopedic surgeons to start their own practice straight out of fellowship.”

    • “Now, 70% of all physicians are employed by either a hospital system or a private equity group.”

    • “For physicians over the past 25 years, reimbursement for the same procedure has decreased by 30%.”

    • “Medical misinformation is probably the most dangerous public health threat we’re facing as a society.”

    ]]>     1722     Make Money with Health Clinics | Dr. Dominic Iacovone Dr. Dominic Iacovone is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Relive Health—a nationwide network of health and wellness clinics started in 2017. With a passion for improving quality of life, Dominic has scaled Relive Health from a single location to over 26 open clinics (and 400 locations sold), offering services tailored to each individual’s health needs. As a husband and father, his mission is to empower people to live well, not just get by, using a comprehensive approach to health that includes bloodwork, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, IV and ozone therapy, and much more. On this episode we talk about: Dominic’s entrepreneurial story, from high school candy sales and pressure washing to building multiple 7- and 8-figure health businesses The personal loss that drew him to holistic health, and his education in molecular biology and chiropractic care Launching Relive Health before health “biohacking” was mainstream, and navigating skepticism The power of video and social media in building a local clinic into a nationally recognized brand Running lean early, but learning to delegate and invest for scale—transitioning from owner-operator to franchisor Franchise economics: location sizes, profit margins, required medical staff, and the in-depth education Relive Health provides Streamlining real estate selection using data on ideal clientele (income, lifestyle, spend) and neighborhood analysis tools Lifetime value and clinical impact: why hormone optimization is their most valuable (and life-changing) recurring service The realities and responsibilities around HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for men and women—why it’s a lifetime commitment, and the need for transparency The myth of “get healthy quick,” and why patient education and expectation-setting are crucial Relive Health’s ownership model, partnerships with leaders like Orange Theory founders, and Dominic’s refusal to sell out just for an exit Passion, purpose, and impact: finding fulfillment in business that enriches lives Top 3 Takeaways Individualization Wins: A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for health or wealth—personalization and comprehensive care create long-term value. Delegate to Scale: Let go of operational roles early; invest in great people to take your business from one location to hundreds. Educate, Don’t Just Sell: Success in health, like business, relies on honesty, setting realistic expectations, and investing in customer experience. Notable Quotes “I like nice stuff. I think quality of life is very important... there has to be a reward for your effort, or you’ll hate what you do.” “If I’d tried to hold onto everything at my first location, I’d still be there—a half-million-dollar-a-month business but not the legacy I’m building now.” “Starting hormones is a lifetime commitment.

    ]]>     1907     Make Money with E-Commerce | Michael Dodsworth Michael Dodsworth is the founder and CEO of Fanfare, a platform built to help e-commerce brands handle massive product drops without breaking under pressure. With a background as a founding engineer and multiple startup exits—including to Salesforce and Ticketmaster—Michael has spent his career building systems that can handle huge spikes in demand. After years of solving ticketing chaos for live events, he created Fanfare to bring that same reliability to e-commerce, powering launches like SKIMS’ $1 million-in-a-minute drop and making high-pressure product launches seamless for brands of all sizes. On this episode we talk about: – Michael’s first job delivering newspapers in the UK and how early discipline shaped his work ethic – Discovering coding as a teen and the path from hobbyist to startup engineer – Lessons learned from early-stage startups, rapid-growth environments like Salesforce, and the difference between startup and corporate life – Building and scaling systems for massive ticketing events, including Taylor Swift and Disney, and the pain points of high-demand launches – The origin story of Fanfare: why e-commerce brands struggle with product drops and how Fanfare solves for scale, bots, and customer experience – The value of capturing data from failed buyers and turning negative sentiment into future sales – How relationships and reputation lead to new opportunities in the startup world – The impact of AI on software development, product launches, and democratizing the ability to build apps—even for non-coders – Practical advice for anyone looking to break into tech or launch their own product in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways 1. Discipline and Action Matter: Early lessons in discipline and showing up every day translate directly to entrepreneurial success—momentum comes from taking the first step, even when the path is unclear. 2. Solve Real Problems at Scale: Fanfare was born from firsthand frustration with broken product launches and ticketing drops. The best businesses address urgent, widespread pain points for both brands and consumers. 3. AI Is Leveling the Playing Field: The latest AI tools make it easier than ever for anyone to experiment, build, and launch products—regardless of coding background. Knowing how to prompt, direct, and design will be as important as traditional engineering skills. Notable Quotes “The more you do it, the more you get used to it, and the more it becomes habit, the easier it becomes.” “At a startup, you just have to fix and chart those paths. There’s nothing there—you have to define the process.” “You have to make sure you’re ready to capitalize on whatever luck comes your way.” “Being able to direct AI agents to do a particular thing is a real skill. Knowing how products should be laid out will matter even more in the future.” Connect with Michael Dodsworth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dodsworth Website: fanfare.io 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1638     Make Money by Developing Financial Literacy | Vince Shorb Vince Shorb is the founder of the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC), a social enterprise built from the ground up without external funding or institutional backing. Driven by a passion for financial literacy, Vince turned his vision into a nationally recognized organization, reaching a 2025 run rate of over $1 million and reinvesting more than $10 million into financial education initiatives. His journey is a testament to entrepreneurial hustle, mission-driven leadership, and the power of equipping others with life-changing knowledge. On this episode we talk about: Vince’s entrepreneurial roots—hustling cans, running a black-market amphibian business, and learning from family role models The influence of his entrepreneurial grandfather and risk-managing relatives on his approach to business and life Early real estate investments: buying his first rental at 19 and a Huntington Beach condo at 20, and the creative strategies he used to get started The realities of financial services: 15 years in mortgages, funding, and trading, and the turning point that led him to financial education The founding of NFEC and the mission to proactively empower people with financial knowledge—before they hit crisis points The gaps in traditional education: why schools still don’t teach the basics of money, entrepreneurship, or career readiness The critical need for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and real-world skills for today’s youth The importance of normalizing conversations about money, value creation, and the realities of work and business ownership How NFEC helps parents, teachers, and communities build local financial wellness initiatives Top 3 Takeaways Financial Literacy is Essential: Everyone needs to understand how to earn, manage, and grow money—because schools aren’t teaching it, and life is unforgiving without it. Entrepreneurial Mindset Matters: Even if you don’t start a business, thinking like an entrepreneur—solving problems, creating value, and taking initiative—will set you apart in any career. Empowerment Over Entitlement: Success comes from adding value, not expecting it; learning financial and business fundamentals helps you take control of your future, regardless of the economic climate. Notable Quotes “You need to know how to earn money and manage money. Those are the two things you need for survival—and they’re completely ignored by our education system.” “I felt like I was putting a Band-Aid on people’s problems. I wanted to solve the root issue—empowering people with knowledge before they hit crisis.” “Every working person is a product of entrepreneurship.

    ]]>     1575     Make Money for Your Family's Future | Justin Goodbread Justin Goodbread is a multiple-time bestselling author who has sold millions of books, built and exited seven companies ranging from seven to nine figures, and helped countless business owners scale and sell their businesses. Raised by parents who made a conscious decision to change their family’s legacy, Justin learned early that entrepreneurship and responsibility go hand in hand. Today, he’s on a mission to teach others the frameworks and principles that can transform not just their income—but their entire family’s future. On this episode we talk about: – How Justin made his first dollar by mowing lawns after his dad gave him a week to find a job (with strict rules) – The radical decision his parents made to break cycles of dysfunction and raise their kids to be business owners – The power of “deciding” versus just choosing, and how that mindset shift changed the Goodbread family for generations – Lessons from homeschooling before it was mainstream, and being immersed in adult thinking, business, and personal development from a young age – The financial principles Justin’s parents taught—giving, saving, investing, and reinvesting in yourself and your business – Justin’s journey from landscaping to consulting, insurance, media, and financial advisory, and how he built and sold multiple companies – Why business frameworks work across every industry, and how Justin’s Deca Millionaire Way has helped him and others succeed in even saturated spaces – The impact of attitude, integrity, and showing up—how opportunity follows those who do the work with a smile – Where the biggest opportunities are right now (hint: AI and helping businesses adapt to new technology) – Why you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to succeed—copy, adapt, and excel in proven business models Top 3 Takeaways 1. Decide, Don’t Just Choose: True transformation comes from a decision to cut away all other options and commit fully to changing your family’s legacy. 2. Frameworks Over Fads: Business principles and frameworks work across industries—focus on mastering the basics and applying them consistently. 3. Opportunity is Everywhere: In today’s world, it’s never been easier to make money—but only if you can focus, avoid distractions, and solve real problems for others. Notable Quotes – “You can always make more money for yourself by working for yourself and taking responsibility than you can working for the man.” – “Business is business across every service, retail, and manufacturing industry. There’s a framework anyone can use to create generational wealth.” – “If a country boy born and raised on a dirt road can figure this out, anybody can.” Connect with Justin Goodbread: – Website: justingoodbread.com 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

As a father of four, sought-after speaker, and mentor, Rob is known for his forward-thinking solutions, strategic insights, and dedication to education. His latest book, Hey Dad: Everything You Should Have Learned But Didn’t, hit the WSJ bestseller list in its first week. Rob’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and building businesses that solve real problems. On this episode we talk about: – Rob’s first entrepreneurial leap—mortgaging everything at 29 to start his first company while supporting a young family – The emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, from failures to the surprising challenges of a successful exit – Why “passive income” is often a myth and the real work required to build and sustain a business – The difference between true entrepreneurs and “wantrepreneurs”—and why sweat equity beats throwing money at problems – How Rob built multiple businesses by focusing on a single niche (commercial real estate) and evolving solutions for the same customer base – The power of prioritization, constraint, and solving your own problems as a founder – Trends and opportunities in commercial real estate, especially in the current high-interest rate environment – The two levers for making money in real estate: optimizing the asset and mastering the debt – Why Rob wrote Hey Dad, the lessons he wants to pass on to his kids, and the surprising overlap between business and parenting – The realities of traditional publishing, book marketing, and why writing a book is more about impact than income Top 3 Takeaways 1.

Sweat Equity Beats Easy Money: Throwing money at problems rarely works; the real magic happens when you’re forced to get creative and build systems from the ground up. 3. Legacy is More Than Money: The lessons you pass on—about resilience, networking, and being a good human—matter as much as financial success. Notable Quotes – “Your business is what defines you. When you sell it, you have to redefine yourself—and that’s a whole new challenge.” – “Passive income is a pipe dream for most people. The real work is in building the business, not just throwing money at it.” – “If you’re not going to do a good job—if you don’t really care—find something else.

    ]]>     1718     Make Money with Creator Ops | Amanda Northcutt Amanda Northcutt is a six-time executive with 22 years of experience in consulting, startups, and marketing strategy. After leaving a high-paying Silicon Valley role, Amanda saw a gap: creators and subject matter experts with massive potential, but lacking the CEO-level operational expertise needed to scale. As co-founder and CEO of Level Up Creators and Level Up Creator School, Amanda now helps coaches and consultants build boutique, high-impact businesses that generate recurring revenue and generational wealth. On this episode we talk about: Amanda’s journey from Silicon Valley to creator consulting—and why she left the tech world on her own terms The mission of Level Up Creators: helping experts and executives turn decades of business experience into thriving consulting and coaching firms Why most creators and consultants struggle with operations, productization, and scaling—and how Amanda’s team bridges that gap The ideal client profile: business experts (typically 40–60 years old) seeking legacy, impact, and a business they love for the next decade How to productize services, escape the “time-for-money” trap, and build a business that fits your life goals The importance of targeting painful, pervasive, urgent, and expensive problems for a specific audience How to stand out in a saturated market by developing a proprietary methodology and building deep trust with your audience Why high-ticket, high-touch, low-volume offers are the fastest path to impact and income for most experts The power of partner marketing, niche podcast guesting, and relationship-based lead generation How to structure partnerships and collaborations for maximum leverage and mutual benefit The mindset shift required to start over in a new field and build credibility from scratch Top 3 Takeaways Productize and Specialize: Focus on solving urgent, expensive problems for a specific audience with a clear, proprietary methodology—don’t try to be everything to everyone. Go High-Ticket First: Start with high-touch, high-value offers before expanding into lower-ticket products or communities; this maximizes your impact and income with fewer clients. Leverage Partnerships and Niche Media: Build relationships with peers, pursue partner marketing, and guest on niche podcasts to reach your ideal clients—don’t chase only the biggest platforms. Notable Quotes “If you’re selling vitamins instead of Vicodin, you are not going to make sales—especially in a tough economy.” “You should be spending 80% of your time on only the highest-leverage activities in your business.” “The most successful people are willing to humble themselves and start over in a new field—they don’t care about losing status, they just want to do the work.” Connect with Amanda Northcutt: Website: welevelupcreators.com 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    • How to structure partnerships and collaborations for maximum leverage and mutual benefit

    • The mindset shift required to start over in a new field and build credibility from scratch

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Productize and Specialize: Focus on solving urgent, expensive problems for a specific audience with a clear, proprietary methodology—don’t try to be everything to everyone.

    2. Go High-Ticket First: Start with high-touch, high-value offers before expanding into lower-ticket products or communities; this maximizes your impact and income with fewer clients.

    3. Leverage Partnerships and Niche Media: Build relationships with peers, pursue partner marketing, and guest on niche podcasts to reach your ideal clients—don’t chase only the biggest platforms.

    Notable Quotes

    • “If you’re selling vitamins instead of Vicodin, you are not going to make sales—especially in a tough economy.”

    • “You should be spending 80% of your time on only the highest-leverage activities in your business.”

    • “The most successful people are willing to humble themselves and start over in a new field—they don’t care about losing status, they just want to do the work.”

With a track record that includes helping lead a $300 million exit, scaling a startup to $15 million in annual revenue, and raising nearly $1 million from top Silicon Valley investors, Ilana brings deep experience in both corporate and startup worlds. Her journey is defined by bold leaps, learning from failure, and empowering others to build careers with multiple streams of income and real fulfillment. On this episode we talk about: – Ilana’s first entrepreneurial hustle at age four—and her early lessons in value (and parental panic) – The story behind raising $800,000 in weeks, only to be ousted by her co-founder and left with nothing – How hitting rock bottom led to a period of personal and professional crisis—and the steps she took to rebuild her momentum – The power of action over analysis: why doing—even when you don’t know what to do—creates clarity and new opportunities – Redefining career success: the shift from a single-track “scripted” career to a dynamic, experimental “portfolio career” – How Ilana built Leap Academy from a small experiment into a multi-million dollar business and top-charting podcast – The importance of failure, resilience, and hunger in founders—and why she bets on entrepreneurs who’ve been through adversity – Frameworks for evaluating new ventures, both as a founder and investor – How Leap Academy helps mid-to-late career professionals reinvent themselves, build multiple income streams, and thrive in an ever-changing world – The future of professional education, corporate partnerships, and the rise of coaching and community-driven learning Top 3 Takeaways 1.

With a background in IoT and a history of building tech companies—including taking one public in 1999—Ken teamed up with celebrity dog behaviorist Cesar Millan to create a next-generation “invisible fence.” Since launching in 2018, Halo has quadrupled sales, surpassed $100 million in annual revenue, and sold over 200,000 collars, all while giving pet owners the freedom to create a “backyard everywhere they go.” On this episode we talk about: Ken’s entrepreneurial journey from yearbook ad sales to founding and scaling multiple tech companies The early days of IoT, RFID, and what it was like to take a company public with just $3 million in annual revenue How the idea for Halo Collar was sparked by a real family tragedy—and why the market was ready for a better solution The power of partnerships: how Ken connected with Cesar Millan to bring dog expertise and credibility to the product Why Halo’s GPS-powered, AI-enabled collar is more than a tracker—it’s a portable, wireless fence you can set up anywhere The business lessons behind Halo’s exponential growth: leveraging existing demand, innovating on proven products, and solving real pain points for pet owners Smart scaling: how Halo used a direct-to-consumer model, negative inventory, and global fulfillment to fuel rapid expansion The importance of product-market fit, recurring revenue, and building a brand that dog owners trust Ken’s framework for evaluating new business ideas and the difference between “nice-to-have” and “need-to-have” products Top 3 Takeaways Innovate Where Demand Exists: Halo succeeded by improving an existing solution (the invisible fence) in a massive, established market, rather than trying to create demand from scratch. Solve Real Problems, Not Just Sell Features: The best products address urgent needs—like keeping pets safe—rather than relying on “nice-to-have” technology. Smart Partnerships and Operations Win: Strategic alliances (like with Cesar Millan), creative fulfillment, and a focus on customer experience enabled Halo to scale quickly and efficiently.

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Niche Down and Master One Thing: GreenPal’s success comes from relentless focus on landscaping and lawn care—don’t get distracted by shiny objects or unrelated verticals.

    2. Empower Others to Win: The best businesses help others succeed. GreenPal is a “business in a box” for service providers, handling everything except mowing the grass so they can focus on growth.

    3. Live Lean, Reinvest, and Stay Disciplined: The less you need to live on, the greater your options. Reinvest in your business, avoid lifestyle inflation, and put your money to work for you.

    Notable Quotes

    • “We have several users on the platform making over $1 million a year mowing yards. That’s why I get out of bed in the morning—to help people improve their lives, make more money, and have less headache.”

    • “If you focus on enough other people’s success, your success will follow. That’s been our North Star.”

    • “The least you can live on, the greater your options. Live as meager as you can, and when you start making money, don’t pretend like you’re making money—keep reinvesting and building your cushion.”

    ]]>     1532     Make Money Traveling (Almost) for Free with Points | Megan Lanford Megan Lanford is a travel points coach and host of the Points to Paradise podcast, where she teaches people how to turn credit card points into dream vacations. Once only able to afford a single trip a year, Megan now takes over six trips annually, saving more than $20,000 a year on travel. She’s passionate about helping others unlock luxury travel experiences—like first-class flights and five-star resorts—without breaking the bank. Megan’s expertise lies in demystifying the world of credit card points, making it accessible for families, entrepreneurs, and anyone eager to travel more for less. On this episode we talk about: – Megan’s journey from wildlife biologist to travel points expert and entrepreneur – The biggest mistakes people make with credit card points—and how to avoid them – The secret to maximizing points value by using transfer partners instead of travel portals – How to book luxury hotels and first-class flights for a fraction of the usual cost – Practical strategies for families and business owners to travel more often, for less – Building an online business as a stay-at-home parent and turning expertise into income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Transfer Points for Maximum Value: Don’t use your credit card’s default travel portal—transfer your points to airline and hotel partners to get 2-3x more value and unlock luxury experiences. 2. Plan Ahead and Be Strategic: The earlier you plan, the better your chances of scoring first-class flights and top-tier hotel upgrades with points. 3. Turn Knowledge into Income: If people are always asking you for advice, there’s a business opportunity—start by sharing your knowledge online and build products around your audience’s needs. Notable Quotes “The biggest mistake I see people make is booking through the bank’s travel portal—you lose out on so much value. Transfer your points to partners and you can 2 to 3x what they’re worth.” “Every single time I’ve emailed a hotel manager before a trip to ask for something special, we’ve gotten an upgrade—sometimes to rooms worth $1,200 a night.” “Most students in my course book their first vacation on points within three months—and then they never pay full price for travel again.” Connect with Megan Lanford: https://www.instagram.com/pointtoparadise/ DM “travel” on Instagram for a free cheat sheet of transfer partners 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Born in the USSR and raised in Australia after his family immigrated with just $200, Igor’s journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and relentless innovation. With over 20 business ventures—most of them failures—he’s built, lost, and rebuilt his fortune, ultimately selling his golf simulator company to GOLFTEC and pioneering new ways to gamify entrepreneurship. Igor’s raw honesty about the peaks and valleys of business, combined with his passion for teaching real-world entrepreneurial skills, makes him a truly unique and inspiring guest. On this episode we talk about: The reality behind “overnight success” and why most wins are built on a mountain of failures.

As a self-made multi-millionaire, Cody built his reputation in real estate, flipping thousands of homes and creating a massive education business. Now, he’s shaking up the “boring” world of home services with his latest venture, Floor Daddy.

    ]]>     3048     Make Money by Creating Buy-In with Your Team | Dave Garrison Dave Garrison joins Travis on this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast. Dave is a renowned leadership strategist with over 25 years of experience as a CEO, strategic advisor, and independent board member for both public and private companies, including Ameritrade. He is the co-founder of Garrison Growth, a firm dedicated to helping organizations—from startups to major corporations—unlock the full potential of their teams. Dave recently authored The Buy-In Advantage, a book focused on inspiring employees to care deeply and perform at their best. His unique blend of high-level strategic insight and hands-on leadership experience makes him a compelling voice on building successful, people-driven businesses. On this episode we talk about: Dave’s first money-making experience as a newspaper delivery boy and the lessons it taught him about persistence and cash flow. The value of early, high-volume, people-facing jobs in developing communication and life skills. How parenting styles and financial education at home shape children’s future relationship with money. Dave’s unconventional career path, including his decision to take a sales job after earning an MBA from Harvard, and what he learned from both experiences. The mindset shift from “having the answers” to “asking the right questions” as a leader, and why this is crucial for organizational buy-in and growth. How generational differences (especially Gen Z) and post-pandemic shifts are changing what employees want from work—and what leaders must do to adapt. Practical frameworks from The Buy-In Advantage for drama-free problem solving and building collective genius within teams. Top 3 Takeaways The best leaders don’t just give answers—they ask better questions to develop decision-making muscles in their teams, fostering buy-in and long-term growth. True organizational success comes from aligning people’s work with a sense of purpose and shared values, not just focusing on the bottom line. Creating a culture where everyone’s input is valued leads to smarter decisions and greater results than any one leader could achieve alone. Notable Quotes “Managers tell and leaders listen. One of the myths of leadership is thinking we have the answer, when in fact our job is to prepare people for change by helping them think.” “All of us are smarter than any of us. That’s how you get the best thinking—by including everyone in the process.” “If time and money were unlimited, what would your ideal life look like? My joy—and my success—comes from helping others achieve results they didn’t think were possible.” Connect with Dave Garrison: https://garrisongrowth.com/ Book: The Buy-In Advantage (available wherever books are sold) 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1781     Make Money with Multifamily and Private Equity | Bronson Hill Bronson Hill is a leading expert in passive income and wealth psychology, known for his ability to break down the habits and strategies of the ultra-wealthy. As the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity and host of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson has interviewed over 2,500 millionaires, uncovering the mindsets and investment tactics that separate everyday earners from those who achieve true financial freedom. A former medical sales professional, Bronson walked away from a high-paying career to pursue passive income, scaling his wealth 20X in just a few years. He’s a general partner in 2,500 multifamily units worth over $250M and has personally raised over $45M for real estate and private equity deals. Bronson’s unique perspective comes from both his humble beginnings and his relentless focus on mindset, making him a sought-after keynote speaker and author. On this episode we talk about: – The mindset shift that helped Bronson 20X his net worth – Lessons from interviewing over 2,500 millionaires – Why “wealth-worthiness” is the hidden key to financial success – How the ultra-wealthy invest differently (and why “alternative assets” aren’t so alternative) – Actionable strategies to build confidence and take your first steps toward passive income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Mindset is everything: The right psychology and self-talk are foundational to building wealth. Most people stay broke because they never develop a sense of “wealth-worthiness”—the belief that they deserve and are capable of financial success. 2. Surround yourself with the right people: Who you spend time with determines your financial future. Learning from mentors and modeling the habits of successful investors can accelerate your growth. 3. Take action despite fear: Confidence isn’t about being fearless—it’s about acting in the face of fear. Start small, celebrate wins, and use setbacks as data for growth. Notable Quotes “Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Small wins, big lessons, and relentless action—love this breakdown.” “Make yourself valuable to valuable people.” “Being wealthy is not about having money or not having money. It’s the habits and the person you become.” Connect with Bronson Hill: BronsonEquity.com Instagram: @bronsondavidhill Mailbox Money Show: Available on all major podcast platforms 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1639     Make Money by Marketing Books Like a Pro | Alex Strathdee Alex Strathdee is the founder of Shelf Life, a company he started at age 22 to fix the scam-filled book marketing world. Now 28, Alex leads a team of 17 from San Diego, generating over $1 million a year and working with top authors like Dan Heath, Nir Eyal, Lewis Howes, Reid Hoffman, and Carrie Bentley. After leaving a six-figure software job, Alex built Shelf Life into a go-to resource for authors seeking real results in book marketing. His unique journey, tech-forward approach, and deep understanding of both the publishing and marketing landscapes make him a standout guest for anyone interested in turning books into a thriving business. On this episode we talk about: How Alex started Shelf Life and transitioned from a six-figure tech job to entrepreneurship The biggest challenges authors face in selling books after publishing The evolution and current state of Amazon ads for book marketing Leveraging podcasts as a powerful business development and networking tool Creative strategies for landing high-profile clients and building credibility in a crowded market Actionable book marketing tactics, including giving away free copies and building authentic relationships with readers The importance of audiobooks and trends in book consumption Why authors should focus on genuine marketing over vanity metrics like “bestseller” status Top 3 Takeaways Podcasting is a Trojan horse for business development: Hosting a podcast enabled Alex to build relationships with top authors, land major clients, and learn from industry leaders—all while growing his business organically. Give value before asking for value: Offering free copies of a book to the right audience can turn readers into fans and generate authentic reviews, which is far more effective than focusing on paid bestseller campaigns or cold outreach. Tech-forward thinking wins: Understanding technology—even at a basic level—helps entrepreneurs move faster, automate processes, and stay ahead of less agile competitors in marketing and publishing. Notable Quotes "It's way easier to get someone to come on and talk to you for 30-60 minutes during an interview than it is to be like, 'Hey, can I talk to you about marketing my books?'" "A book from a no-name author is an undifferentiated product from someone with no reputation. You're not just asking for their money, you're asking for their time."

Widely known as the "Father of Biohacking," Dave is a pioneering entrepreneur, four-time New York Times bestselling author, and the creator of Bulletproof Coffee. He’s built and scaled multiple brands—most notably in the health and longevity space—generating hundreds of millions in revenue. Dave’s unique approach blends Silicon Valley innovation with cutting-edge wellness, making him a leader in both business and personal transformation. His story of overcoming obesity and health issues by applying tech-driven “biohacks” to his own biology has inspired millions and helped launch a global movement. On this episode we talk about: The five primal drivers that shape human behavior and decision-making—especially for entrepreneurs How Dave scaled Bulletproof Coffee and created entirely new wellness markets The critical role of community and authentic friendship in business success and longevity Why loneliness is a hidden epidemic among entrepreneurs and how to overcome it Practical frameworks for choosing the right friends, business partners, and team members The dangers of “category three” and “category four” personalities in your business and life Top 3 Takeaways Your body’s primal operating system drives most decisions—even in business. Learning to reprogram fear, hunger, and other instincts frees up energy and willpower for higher-level thinking and entrepreneurship. Community is a massive lever for both personal well-being and business growth. Authentic connections with like-minded peers are essential for support, innovation, and navigating the unique challenges entrepreneurs face. Choosing the right people is everything. Understanding the four categories of people (win-win, usually win-win, win-lose unknowingly, and win-lose knowingly) can save you millions and prevent emotional and financial setbacks. Notable Quotes "You think that you're in charge, but your body's in charge and it runs the operating system of all life on the planet." "If you're allocating energy to anger, fear, loneliness, cravings, it just wastes all the energy that you ought to be putting into your mission, your family, your community."

On this episode we talk about: – How Mel made his first dollar (cutting grass) and most recent dollar (book royalties) – The power of niche content creation and building trust online – Key retirement planning decisions for federal employees and beyond – Tax planning strategies: Roth vs. traditional accounts and the impact of future tax rates – Side hustles and second careers for government employees approaching retirement – Asset allocation, diversification, and the role of income-producing investments – Mistakes to avoid with taxable accounts and required minimum distributions – Advice for young people on maximizing Roth contributions and planning for the long term – The complexity of the tax code and how to leverage incentives for better outcomes Top 3 Takeaways 1.

    ]]>     1079     Make Money with a Sweaty Startup | Nick Huber Nick Huber is an accomplished entrepreneur and real estate investor based in Athens, Georgia. Best known for building a $30M+ annual revenue portfolio that includes 68 self-storage properties, Nick also owns companies like somewhere.com, Bolt Storage, and RE Cost Seg. He’s recognized for his no-nonsense advice on entrepreneurship, his book The Sweaty Startup, and his focus on building wealth through practical, “boring” businesses rather than chasing flashy startup trends. Nick’s unique perspective comes from real-world experience, not just theory, making him a sought-after voice for aspiring business owners. On this episode we talk about: – How Nick made his first and most recent dollar – The importance of picking the right business “vehicle” – Why cash is king in real estate investing – The realities of self-storage and why it’s not truly “passive income” – Building businesses that solve real problems (like RE Cost Seg and somewhere.com) Top 3 Takeaways 1. Pick the right business vehicle: Success isn’t just about working hard-it’s about working smart in industries where you can win, even if you’re “average.” 2. Cash matters in real estate: Contrary to popular advice, Nick argues you need capital to succeed in real estate; “no money down” deals are risky and rare. 3. Business is a long game: Building wealth takes years, often generations. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and focus on boring, proven businesses.

After a decade-long personal struggle with anxiety and investing over $1 million in research and development, Daniel engineered a system with a 90% success rate that has helped thousands break free from anxiety, procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and low confidence. His unique blend of engineering rigor and real-world empathy makes his approach both innovative and practical. On this episode we talk about: Why fear is the root cause behind anxiety, procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and low confidence The “Funky Five” and how they sabotage your ability to make money and succeed Why most self-help and personal development tools don’t deliver permanent results The science behind Daniel’s Nervous System Reset and why the nervous system-not the mind-is the key to freedom How Daniel’s pay-at-the-end model puts results first and why he believes results matter most Top 3 Takeaways The real obstacle to making more money isn’t lack of tactics-it’s unresolved fear rooted in the body, specifically the nervous system. Most personal development focuses on managing symptoms, not solving the root problem; true change happens when you address the nervous system directly. Permanent transformation is possible with the right system, and you don’t have to live with anxiety or self-doubt holding you back from success. Notable Quotes “You do not have multiple problems. You have multiple symptoms of one thing, which is fear.” “Results matter.

Eric is also the bestselling author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and The Anthology of Balaji, with over a million copies sold. Beyond his publishing expertise, Eric is an investor in deep tech startups and an influential blogger and podcaster. His unique journey from author and curator to CEO-especially after helping revive Scribe Media from bankruptcy-makes him a fascinating guest with deep insights into the evolving world of book publishing, authorship, and leveraging books for business growth. On this episode we talk about: – The origin story behind The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and why Eric created it – The rise, fall, and rebirth of Scribe Media-and Eric’s path to CEO – Key differences between traditional publishing, hybrid, and self-publishing models – How books can serve as powerful business assets beyond just royalties – The critical importance of quality and professionalism in publishing – Navigating advances, control, and intellectual property as an author – Why marketing and personal networks now drive book sales more than ever – The realities of bookstore placement, bestseller lists, and the modern publishing landscape Top 3 Takeaways 1. A book is more than a business card-it’s a credential. A well-written, high-quality book can serve as a lifelong asset, building trust, authority, and opening doors for speaking, consulting, and business opportunities. 2. Control and flexibility matter. Traditional publishing can offer credibility and advances, but often at the cost of creative and financial control. Many authors now succeed by self-publishing or using hybrid models, retaining rights and maximizing ROI. 3. Marketing trumps distribution. In today’s landscape, personal networks, podcasts, and word-of-mouth drive more book sales than traditional media or bookstore placement. Demonstrated demand online is what gets books into stores-not the publisher’s logo. Notable Quotes “A good book is much more like a PhD. It’s a credential you should be proud to put in front of whoever the most important person in your network is.” “Half-professional is unprofessional. If you’re not proud to put your book in front of someone, you didn’t invest enough time and effort.” “What really matters most is a great book.

Traditional publishing can offer credibility and advances, but often at the cost of creative and financial control.

In today’s landscape, personal networks, podcasts, and word-of-mouth drive more book sales than traditional media or bookstore placement.

It’s a credential you should be proud to put in front of whoever the most important person in your network is.” “Half-professional is unprofessional. If you’re not proud to put your book in front of someone, you didn’t invest enough time and effort.” “What really matters most is a great book.

Originally trained as a physiotherapist in the UK, Ross transitioned from hands-on healthcare to building and scaling companies. He recently launched a holding company in the UAE with the goal of generating half a billion dollars in annual revenue within five years. Ross’s journey is a masterclass in creative deal-making, strategic growth, and the mindset required to succeed in business acquisition. On this episode we talk about: How Ross made the leap from employee to entrepreneur by starting a mobile physiotherapy business The critical role of spousal and partner support in entrepreneurial risk-taking Lessons learned from losing a major contract and pivoting to acquisitions Creative deal structures, including 100% seller financing and government-backed loans The importance of operating experience before buying businesses-and why small business acquisition is riskier than it looks How to source acquisition deals through networking, brokers, and outreach The pros and cons of buying small vs. larger businesses Why healthcare remains a resilient and attractive sector for acquisitions Top 3 Takeaways Start with what you know and build credibility. Ross’s journey shows that operating your own business first gives you the credibility and skills needed to succeed in acquisitions2. Creative financing makes acquisitions accessible. Seller financing and government-backed loans can help you buy businesses even if you don’t have large amounts of cash on hand2. Operating skills are essential. Acquiring a business is not a shortcut to passive income-understanding sales, marketing, HR, and operations is critical to avoid running a good business into the ground2. Notable Quotes “My first dollar was me carrying a bed with me to someone’s house and charging them for physiotherapy.”2 “The best conversation we had at the beginning was, ‘Do you want to do it or do you need to do it?’ I needed to do it for myself and my family.”2 “The success rate of small business acquisition is terrible… If you don’t have the necessary mindset and skill set to manage the money, you could take over a beautiful cash-flowing business and run it into the ground.”2 Connect with Ross Tomkins: Website: https://rosstomkins.co.uk/ Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridge Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting from teaching students himself at a single location, Nigel has grown Coastline Academy to serve nine states and hundreds of thousands of students. The company has been recognized as the sixth fastest-growing education company in the U.S. by Inc. magazine. Nigel’s journey is a testament to scaling a hands-on service business into a national operation, all while staying mission-driven and customer-focused. On this episode we talk about: How Nigel made his first dollar selling Magic: The Gathering cards as a kid The transition from side hustles and early businesses to founding Coastline Academy The challenges and pivots involved in launching a mission-driven company Financing a startup with minimal savings, creative fundraising, and lean operations The step-by-step process of scaling from a local service to a national brand Top 3 Takeaways Start Small, Scale Smart: Begin by doing the work yourself to gain firsthand experience and credibility. Each step up-hiring, management, multi-state expansion-should be built on a solid foundation of understanding the business from the ground up. Mission Over Product: Focusing on a core mission (in Coastline’s case, eradicating car crashes) allows you to pivot product ideas while staying true to your purpose. Execution and adaptability matter far more than the initial idea. Creative Survival: Raising just enough money to buy time and cover basic expenses can be enough to get off the ground. Be transparent with investors, get creative with financing (but be cautious), and focus relentlessly on achieving product-market fit before scaling. Notable Quotes "The execution against the idea is literally everything. There’s zero value to the idea that you have. What actually matters is working to figure out if somebody is going to vote that they’re on board for this service existing-and not just vote by giving you a thumbs up, but by actually taking their wallet out and paying you to solve this problem." "For someone just starting out, you don’t need to figure out how to have layers of directors and middle managers and regional operations. You’ve got to figure out how to get enough cash in to cover your costs, and you can do that by just rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work." "Success is like a spiral staircase.

After a long career in the business world, John returned to his passion for helping others by specializing in financial therapy and coaching for middle-aged and older adults. His unique approach blends clinical expertise, real-world financial management, and deep empathy, helping clients understand and transform their relationship with money. John’s mission is to empower people to align their finances with their values, reduce money-related stress, and build a more fulfilling future. On this episode we talk about: – What it means to have a “relationship with money” and why it matters – How childhood experiences and cultural beliefs shape our money mindset – The three pillars of money mindset: thoughts, feelings, and actions – Why values—not just goals—should drive your financial decisions – Real-life stories of clients overcoming money stress and self-sabotage – The importance of normalizing conversations about money – How financial therapy differs from traditional financial planning Top 3 Takeaways Your beliefs and emotions about money—often formed in childhood—can unconsciously drive your financial decisions and success. Addressing these root issues is foundational to making sustainable changes. True financial well-being comes from aligning your money habits with your core values, not just chasing higher income or bigger goals. Open, judgment-free conversations about money are essential. Many people carry money stress for years simply because they feel unable to talk about it—even with those closest to them.

Dan’s unique blend of real-world investing experience, teaching expertise, and commitment to empowering youth makes him a standout voice in the world of personal finance education.

Chris is a cash flow expert, anti-financial advisor, and founder of Money Ripples. With over $300 million in increased cash flow for his clients over the past 15 years, Chris is a leading authority on helping entrepreneurs and professionals get their money working for them today—not just in some distant retirement. He’s also the host of the Money Ripples podcast and has been featured in outlets like US News, CNN Money, Entrepreneurs on Fire, and BiggerPockets, making him a go-to resource for unconventional wealth-building strategies. On this episode we talk about: – Why traditional retirement planning is broken for most people – The pitfalls of the “accumulation mindset” and why it fails in today’s economy – How to generate passive income and cash flow now—not just decades from now – Real-life examples of alternative investments (real estate, oil & gas, private equity) – The importance of due diligence and learning before investing – How millennials and Gen Z can adapt to a world with fewer safety nets – Actionable steps for moving from learning to earning to investing Top 3 Takeaways 1. Cash flow beats accumulation: Focusing on investments that generate income today is far more effective than simply saving for the future in traditional vehicles like mutual funds. 2. Learn before you invest: The best returns come from investing in yourself first—build skills, knowledge, and connections before putting money into deals you don’t fully understand. 3. Control and due diligence matter: Passive income isn’t truly passive without upfront work—vet operators, understand risk, and ensure accountability before handing over your money.

    ]]>     2416     Make Money with a Cleaning Business | Aram Street Aram Street is a dynamic entrepreneur who made the leap from household management to business ownership in 2020. After nearly a decade as a professional butler and estate manager, Aram founded LexClean, a thriving commercial and residential cleaning company in Kentucky, and later co-founded CleanSpace, an on-demand cleaning marketplace. His unique background—combining elite butler training with a knack for systems and networking—sets him apart in the crowded cleaning industry. Aram’s story is a testament to the power of reinvention, practical hustle, and leveraging your network to build a business from scratch. On this episode we talk about: – How Aram transitioned from being a household manager (butler) to launching his own cleaning business – The mindset shift required to move from employee to entrepreneur – The practical steps to start a service-based business with little capital – The importance of networking and leveraging existing relationships to land your first clients – Scaling from residential to commercial cleaning and the challenges of cash flow and contracts – Why saying “yes” to everything at first is key, and how to niche down as you grow – The realities of entrepreneurship—balancing risk, family, and multiple ventures Top 3 Takeaways 1. Your network is your launchpad: Aram’s first clients came directly from people he already knew. Building and nurturing relationships—even before you need them—can pay off immediately when starting a business. 2. Start broad, then niche down: In the early days, say yes to every opportunity to fill your calendar and build experience. As demand grows, you can focus on the most profitable or enjoyable segments. 3. Mindset matters: The biggest shift from employment to entrepreneurship is realizing you must create your own income. There’s no guaranteed paycheck—success depends on your ability to solve problems and deliver value.

The inspiring red carpet correspondent is a force both on-camera and off, but her stunning success wasn’t necessarily an easy path. The small town girl started her career without a single “in” into the industry, but her love affair with the glamor of Hollywood motivated her to achieve her one in a million dream. Ever since Madison was a little girl, she always loved entertainment news. Award shows quickly became her Super Bowl, and she looked forward to getting cozy in her pajamas to watch each and every red carpet with her favorite pair of dazzling toddler heels to pretend she was interviewing whichever celebrity stepped onto her make believe stage, where a TV was conveniently placed. It may sound naive, but at that point in time, Madison didn’t realize she could actually make television for a living. The job description just seemed too good to be true; so whenever an adult asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, Madison always replied, “Anything that would give me the time to volunteer to hear celebrities’ stories at various red carpets.” Once Madison realized she could get paid for such a career choice, she went to the University of Arizona and double majored in journalism and film and TV. In an effort to be as well-rounded as possible, Madison completed 12 internships throughout her three years at her University. Those experiences, in addition to her former position at TMZ and Entertainment Tonight, led her to become one of the most sought after red carpet correspondents in today’s crowded industry. Madison excels at interviewing the stars during mega-events and she’s no stranger to breaking Hollywood scoop, all while having fun with A-list celebrities, who consider her a professional friend.

    ]]>     2990 no     Make Money After Overcoming Addiction | Samantha Harte http://www.travischappell.com Samantha Harte has had her share of heartbreak. Now fourteen years sober, she has suffered through her mother’s mental illness; betrayal by partners; the loss of her sister, friends, and father; multiple miscarriages; and her addiction to drugs and alcohol. Desperate for a path through the pain, she was forced to confront the hardwiring toward perfectionism that kept her sick and embrace the rewiring required to truly recover and heal. Through her medical practice, Samantha came to realize that, whether we’re addicted or not, we all suffer from some degree of soul sickness. We navigate love and loss throughout our lives with little or no guidance, often fumbling our way through with self-sabotaging behaviors. Despite her initial resistance to the well-known Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, Samantha eventually reimagined them so that they worked in her own life. In the process, she discovered that the spiritual concepts in each step have universal application and can help people learn new ways of navigating adversity—not just addiction. In this book, she shows you how you, too, can change your life with the power of these steps.

Within four years, Revitasize expanded to over eight locations across Toronto. He recently launched @thefoundersclub, a community for high-growth founders seeking virtual, in-person, and local connections with like-minded CEOs, founders, and executives in the CPG, e-commerce, and retail sectors. Prior to this, Aaron co-founded a sleep improvement company called Hush, selling a product now considered to be the world's most popular (and reviewed) weighted blanket—designed to help those with sleep issues, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, and more. Within its first 24 months, Hush grew into an eight-figure brand. The company launched a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1.5 million in 30 days—making it one of the top 10 most-funded Canadian 30-day campaigns ever. Hush also appeared on the Canadian hit TV show Dragons' Den and earned the "Most Epic Pitch" of the season, securing a bidding war between all six dragons. In 2021, Aaron sold Hush to Canadian sleep giant Sleep Country in a landmark acquisition, marking a significant milestone in Canadian e-commerce history. The brand has become trusted by over 150,000 people, innovating with products like the Hush Pillow, Mattress, Iced Cooling Sheets, and more. Aaron is also a former Canadian Junior Hockey League player, ranked 5th in all-time scoring in the OJHL, an OUA Champion, public speaker, and startup advisor.

Justin ventured into the world of business at the age of 20 when he took every penny in his bank account and started his first cell phone retail store with himself as the only employee. After months of working every day open to close, the business was able to hire the first employee and eventually grow into a large chain.

After two years of complete boredom, it was time to get back to what Justin does best, helping businesses grow. Over the past several years, Sloan Capital has begun syndicating real estate deals to outside investors and has made sizeable venture investments in more than a dozen companies. Justin is highly knowledgeable in all things business, and his undeniable passion is what sets him apart from the rest. Having built companies from the ground up, he understands the details that go into establishing a successful firm and the resources required to help in scaling it while still maintaining the small things that make it stand out.

After 13 years in pastoral ministry, Cody faced a series of personal challenges in 2016, including a public divorce, loss of loved ones, and a life-threatening health crisis. These experiences forced him to reevaluate his life and career path.

His mission is to build a culture that impacts the world for good, offering a path forward for those ready to create meaningful legacies without sacrificing their personal well-being.

    ]]>     1058 no     953: Self-Discipline and Finding Your "One Thing" | 30 Days of Friendship: Day 4 http://www.travischappell.com Welcome back to Day 4 of the "30 Days of Friendship" on the Travis Makes Friends Podcast! This month, we're focusing on building connections and tackling topics that strengthen our inner lives and relationships. Today, we're diving into self-discipline—a vital skill for personal growth and career success. In this episode, Travis shares insights on self-discipline, discussing how it builds the foundation for a fulfilling, connected life. Reflecting on his past and a powerful story about a dedicated pastor, he explores the misconception that some people are "just born disciplined." Instead, it's about putting in the work and focusing on what matters most. Inspired by Gary Keller's book, The One Thing, Travis encourages us to identify and prioritize our highest-leverage tasks each day. By honing in on "the one thing," we can maximize impact, reduce overwhelm, and build a life that aligns with our goals. Connect with Me: Got more questions or thoughts about today’s episode?

    ]]>     4107 no     948: Can the Government Solve the Loneliness Epidemic? (No!!!... But We Can!) http://www.travischappell.com In this episode of Travis Makes Friends, we're diving deep into the 6 Pillars of Human Connection as outlined by the Surgeon General. We’ll explore how to foster connections both within local communities and in the broader world of entrepreneurship. We’ll also tackle an important question: how do you manage client relationships when they turn into friendships? And how do you make genuine connections as an entrepreneur? Let’s break it all down. Key Discussion Points: Pillar 1: Strengthen Social Infrastructure in Local Communities Social infrastructure includes programs like volunteer groups, parks, libraries, and public policies that nurture connections. My Thoughts: This is a no-brainer, but something we all need to prioritize more. Personally, it’s been a challenge due to frequent travel, but I’m making improvements. Pillar 2: Enact Pro-Connection Public Policies Public policy affects social connection, from transportation to health. There’s a need for a “Connection-in-All-Policies” approach to address the disconnection epidemic. My Thoughts: While I lean towards less government, the damage already done needs repair, especially in health. The food industry is a clear example of policies prioritizing corporate interests over public health. We need a reality check here. Pillar 3: Mobilize the Health Sector Social isolation is a significant risk factor for many health conditions. The health sector must prioritize educating both providers and patients on the importance of social connection. My Thoughts: I’m skeptical of more government involvement, but I’m all for tracking data and letting entrepreneurs help solve these problems with real solutions. Pillar 4: Reform Digital Environments Technology plays a massive role in how we connect. It’s crucial to minimize harm and encourage pro-connection tech. My Thoughts: Government intervention in tech can get tricky. While regulations are needed, it’s ultimately up to individuals to set boundaries in their own digital lives. Pillar 5: Deepen Our Knowledge Understanding social connection on a deeper level requires more research and public awareness, similar to how we tackled smoking. My Thoughts: This is the most important pillar. Knowledge is power, and more research will lead to better solutions. We need transparency about the real impacts of social disconnection. Pillar 6: Cultivate a Culture of Connection Building a culture of connection rests on kindness, respect, and empathy. Leaders, influencers, and media have a responsibility to model healthy dialogue. My Thoughts: This is what we owe to each other—respect and kindness. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the opposite in recent political debates, but I’m hopeful that we can get back to setting better examples. Q&A Segment: This week’s question comes from @amberfarooqui: “How do you set boundaries with clients who become your friends? And how do you make genuine friendships in entrepreneurship?” Setting Boundaries with Clients: Keep clear lines between business and friendship by setting a culture where mutual support is expected, not discounts. Think like a therapist—there’s a time for billable hours and a time for friendship. Making Genuine Friendships in Entrepreneurship: Look beyond transactional relationships. True friends in entrepreneurship understand and empathize with your journey, and they stick with you through tough times, not just when it’s financially beneficial.

    ]]>     3691 no     942: The Loneliness Epidemic: Is Social Media to Blame? http://www.travischappell.com In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of social connection and explore its critical role in our lives. We’ll unpack the three components that make up social connection and how they influence our health, wealth, and general well-being. We then tackle a hotly debated question: Is social media to blame for the loneliness epidemic? Or is it simply a tool that, when misused, amplifies existing issues? Using examples from history and modern technology, we’ll explore both the benefits and drawbacks of our hyper-connected digital world. Plus, we answer audience questions from my Instagram (@travischappell), such as: How to keep in touch with a new friend without coming off as clingy? Why is making friends so difficult in your mid-30s? Let’s dive into it! Key Topics Covered: What is Social Connection? Social connection is a dynamic, continuous spectrum, not a simple on/off switch. It evolves over time and changes due to factors like life events, health, job transitions, and more. We discuss how chronic loneliness and social isolation, even in our hyper-connected age, remain major health concerns. The Impact of Technology on Social Connection: Technology plays a dual role: it can foster connection, especially for marginalized groups, but can also displace in-person interactions and lower the quality of social bonds. We dive into stats, like how Americans spend 6 hours a day on digital media and how social media use has exploded among both teens and adults. Benefits like online support groups versus downsides like distraction and increased loneliness are discussed. Is Social Media the Culprit Behind Loneliness? Social media is an accelerant but not the root cause. Loneliness has been on the rise since long before the advent of social platforms. We draw comparisons to historical technological advancements, such as the steamboat and diesel engine, showing that each era faces challenges from new inventions. Instead of blaming technology, we discuss how we can rise to the challenge, much like past generations did. Three Ways Social Media Influences Our Daily Lives: It affects how we connect, often replacing face-to-face time with virtual interactions. Social media can exacerbate the fear of missing out (FOMO) and contribute to feelings of inadequacy and isolation. It reshapes our communication habits, creating shorter attention spans and less meaningful conversations. Listener Q&A: How to maintain excitement in new friendships without seeming overbearing. Why making friends becomes more challenging as we get older, especially when moving to new cities. Key Quotes: "Is social media to blame for all of this? I don’t think so. But is it an accelerant? Absolutely. It’s gasoline on the fire." "We as humans are not built to go backwards. When new technology presents new problems, we find new ways to solve those problems." Additional Resources: Douglas Brunt's book on Rudolf Diesel and the diesel engine – A fascinating dive into how past technological advancements solved problems and created new ones.

She’s also the author of the New York Times bestsellers "You Can’t Joke About That: Why Everything is Funny, Nothing is Sacred, and We’re All in This Together," and "I Used To Like You Until... (How Binary Thinking Divides Us)." Kat is a prolific writer, having worked as a columnist for National Review for nearly six years. She’s also worked at Campus Reform, The Washington Times, Barstool Sports, and of course, Boston Market. She’s no stranger to the stage, either: The national tour of her comedy live show, “You Can’t Joke About That LIVE,” sold out in theaters all around the country. Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across – even landing her on Variety’s New Power of New York list in 2023. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise. Kat loves connecting with people across the country and around the world and talking about the things that are on everyone’s minds, but no one's lips. And she is sure to do so with a great deal of respect and humor. She currently lives in New York City with her husband Cam, their dog Carl, and her cat Cheens.

    Kat is a prolific writer, having worked as a columnist for National Review for nearly six years. She’s also worked at Campus Reform, The Washington Times, Barstool Sports, and of course, Boston Market. She’s no stranger to the stage, either: The national tour of her comedy live show, “You Can’t Joke About That LIVE,” sold out in theaters all around the country.

    Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across – even landing her on Variety’s New Power of New York list in 2023. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise.

    ]]>     1547 no     930: Liziana Carter | AI Expert Explains How to Leverage Chatbots in Your Business http://www.travischappell.com Liziana Carter, the visionary founder of Grow AI, embarked on her journey in 2019 with a clear mission: to provide humans with the extra support needed to achieve their goals. From 2016 to 2018, Liziana honed her skills by building chatbots for her own online businesses, gaining valuable insights and experience. In 2019, she launched a chatbot agency, initially focusing on creating chatbots for local gyms and medspas. However, with the onset of COVID-19, Liziana quickly adapted her business model to cater to DTC/eCommerce businesses. With a small but dedicated team of two, Grow AI began attracting attention from prominent names in the DTC space. This exposure allowed the team to build an impressive portfolio of case studies, showcasing their expertise and success. Liziana and her team developed a proprietary revenue tracking system for Facebook and Instagram DM chatbots, crafting a framework that guarantees measurable and predictable results for their online brand clients. Their innovative approach caught the eye of Meta, leading to invitations to participate in Meta's closed beta programs for Messenger and Instagram DM lists.

    ]]>     3766 no     924: Jared Bailey | 'Dropouts' Origin Story, What Broke Zach, & the Aftermath of Indiana's Exit http://www.travischappell.com Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Jared Bailey ( @jarebearmusic ), the producer, and co-host of the Dropouts ( @DropoutsPodcast ) podcast. If you're a Dropouts fan, you'll love this episode. (And, if you haven't already I highly recommend checking out the Zach Justice episode as well, since Zach is another co-host of Dropouts: https://youtu.be/_gXbyIonpvw) The Dropouts brand has exploded since I started following them about a year and a half ago. They started the podcast in a spare room of a modest apartment in LA, and it has grown immensely. Now, they have over a million subscribers on YouTube, with each video racking up millions of views. Their fan base is incredibly passionate. If you're tuning in from the Dropouts podcast, welcome to the "Travis Makes Friends" podcast. You've probably already seen the Zach Justice interview. With Jared on today's episode, I need to get Tarayummy ( @Tarayummy ) on the show to complete the trio. I'm genuinely excited about Dropouts' success. They're a fantastic example of how content creators can thrive even if they start "late." They began in 2020, but their consistent, high-quality content and strong rapport have propelled them to great heights. As a fellow content creator, seeing good people achieve such success is inspiring. In this episode, Jared and I discuss his life, his journey, and how he reached his current position. We delve into the various milestones along the way, which I find particularly fascinating because the path to success is never linear. There are always ups and downs, and Jared's story is no exception.

Reflecting on past experiences, Travis recounts a pivotal moment in his early twenties when he realized the limitations of his knowledge.

Following the realization of lacking direction, Travis embarked on a journey to gain clarity. He delves into the various ventures he pursued, ranging from network marketing and Door-To-Door sales to exploring different sales opportunities and eventually delving into mortgage licensing and podcasting. Despite the diverse range of ventures, he emphasizes the condensed timeframe within which these endeavors unfolded. Additional Topics Covered – Losing clarity and the role of action in bringing clarity. – Travis' diverse and chaotic resume, including experiences like being betrayed by a trusted mentor. – Exploring the network marketing world and why Travis decided to quit working at Home Depot after three months. – Ventures into water purification sales and the impact of personal loss, such as Travis' wife losing her father. – The decision to move to Vegas and the motivations behind starting a podcast. – The influence of others' advice on Travis' life and the concept of failure leading to success. – Emphasizing that the pursuit of clarity is a lifelong journey and questioning one's identity with the thought: "Who do you want to be?" Conclusion and Next Episode Preview Wrapping up the episode, Travis expresses gratitude to listeners for joining him on this journey.

    ]]>     3077 no     919: Chris Hunter | Building the Billion Dollar Four Loko Empire http://www.travischappell.com What’s it like to rise from Youngstown, Ohio to flying in private jets, then lose it all? What’s it like to be an alpha male who gets what you want, then realize you have put everything that matters to you at risk? What does it mean to know exactly who you are, then understand that you don’t know yourself at all? A born hustler, Chris Hunter co-created Four Loko, the world’s most infamous alcoholic beverage, and blew it up to a national sensation and a billion-dollar company in two years, only to be fired by his own partners. Until that moment, he thought he knew what it meant to be a man. He thought he understood—hell, embodied—masculinity. He was wrong. Events that would have broken other men opened a door. Chris Hunter walked through it to a new reality. A searing tale of power, grit, and unexpected reinvention – ˙his memoir, Blackout Punch is the story of a man who had it all—and wanted it all to be different.

What’s it like to be an alpha male who gets what you want, then realize you have put everything that matters to you at risk? What does it mean to know exactly who you are, then understand that you don’t know yourself at all? A born hustler, Chris Hunter co-created Four Loko, the world’s most infamous alcoholic beverage, and blew it up to a national sensation and a billion-dollar company in two years, only to be fired by his own partners. Until that moment, he thought he knew what it meant to be a man. He thought he understood—hell, embodied—masculinity. He was wrong. Events that would have broken other men opened a door. Chris Hunter walked through it to a new reality. A searing tale of power, grit, and unexpected reinvention – ˙his memoir, Blackout Punch is the story of a man who had it all—and wanted it all to be different.

Before I tell you more about the guest, do you like this show? Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts — even one sentence helps! 🙂) ** About Greg Mohr Greg Mohr started his work life in the restaurant industry. His first impression of franchising came straight out of high school, at a fast-food restaurant chain. He later managed a twenty-four-hour restaurant—another chain outlet but not a franchise. Seventeen years of restaurant management flew by before he earned degrees in electrical engineering and physics and became an engineer. Greg climbed the corporate ladder, working in the semiconductor industry for about fifteen years. During this time, he earned an MBA specializing in management information systems. Doing so did not speed up his pace of climbing the ladder, as he had hoped. In the meantime, inspired by many business books, including Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, Greg purchased rental properties and found that he could manage them on the side while keeping his day job. As he loves to share, Greg eventually found himself laid off, and it was a blessing. He saw an opportunity and knew it was now or never. After working with a franchise consultant, he found a great fit after narrowing down his goals and criteria. He never looked back. Greg has helped hundreds of people invest in a few hundred franchise units.

    ]]>     3175 no     901: Noah Kagan | How to Launch a Million-Dollar Business in 48 Hours http://www.travischappell.com Noah Kagan (@noahkagan) is the founder and Chief Sumo at AppSumo.com, a company that provides tools and content to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Under Noah's leadership, AppSumo has grown to over $10 million in annual revenue. Before starting AppSumo, Noah held key roles at two of tech's fastest-growing companies. He was employee #30 at Facebook, where he worked directly with Mark Zuckerberg to build their advertising platform. He then became the 4th employee at Mint.com, the popular online personal finance company that Intuit acquired for $170 million. A self-described "taco-loving" entrepreneur, Noah draws on his experiences building and scaling multiple eight-figure internet companies to help and inspire other entrepreneurs. As Chief Sumo at AppSumo, he pushes the boundaries of what's possible in business, marketing, and personal development. He’s also the author of Million Dollar Weekend, a comprehensive guide on how to take action and build the business (and life) of your dreams. Noah's journey from Facebook and Mint.com to leading AppSumo provides unique insights and lessons for any entrepreneur looking to start, build, or grow their own business. What Travis and Noah discussed: Take action even if you don't have full clarity yet. In the absence of clarity, take action anyway to gain more clarity. By taking small actions, you'll get feedback that helps validate or invalidate ideas faster. This allows you to fail fast and learn. Surround yourself with people smarter than you. Connect with smart people early on before they get really big. This allows you to more easily build relationships that can pay dividends down the road. Start small, test quickly. You can start a business over a weekend without spending much money. Validate your idea by getting real customer feedback fast before investing more time and money in building out a bigger vision. Keep trying new ideas. Successful entrepreneurs try many different business ideas, most of which may fail before they find success. By continually trying new ideas and using the feedback, you get better at executing. There are big risks in not being an entrepreneur, including not having control over your schedule and life. As an entrepreneur, you design your ideal life. Even if you don't become a millionaire, you can create a business that gives you more freedom. This was an insightful conversation with Noah Kagan, a successful entrepreneur who built a $80 million per year business after being let go from Facebook. He shares his journey of trying over a dozen different business ideas that failed before finding his big success. Noah reveals that you don't need a lot of money or time to start a business that can change your life, anyone can do it over a weekend.

    ]]>     4198 no     900: Dana Cornell | The Reverse Financial Plan That Builds Real Wealth http://www.travischappell.com Dana Cornell (cornellcapitalholdings.com) is a financial expert with over 20 years of experience advising clients. Formerly an Executive Director at Morgan Stanley, he is now a Forbes-recognized financial consultant running his practice. He focuses on helping individuals, small business owners, and working professionals develop customized passive income and wealth accumulation strategies leveraging commercial real estate opportunities. In addition to being a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional, Cornell has also earned the Certified Investment Management AnalystTM designation. He leverages his extensive expertise to create tailored plans to help his clients achieve their financial goals. What Dana and Travis discussed: The real formula for building wealth is to buy cash flow, don't pay taxes, and don't lose money. Look at investing in commercial real estate and small businesses to generate cash flow. There are different types of equity - preferred equity sits lower on the risk scale than pure equity as there is more protection. Understand the differences to make informed investment decisions. Commercial real estate is likely heading towards trouble due to economic policies, rising interest rates, tightening bank lending, and excessive debt loads. Tread carefully when investing here. The ultra-wealthy diversify their income streams across real estate, small businesses, and liquid assets rather than relying on a single source. Build multiple income streams for stability. The traditional retirement planning approach of saving and projecting into the future often fails. Instead, focus on buying back your time now through passive income opportunities. Learn directly from 20+ years of financial services expertise, gain specific commercial real estate and alternative investing advice, and shift your mindset from traditional retirement planning to prioritizing buying back your time today. Dana Cornell provides a wealth of practical knowledge that can transform how savvy individuals approach investing and wealth creation.

    ]]>     3748 no     899: Alex Neist | The Entreprenurial Drive That Created Hostage Tape http://www.travischappell.com Alex Neist (@alexneist), an ex-Arena Football League quarterback and coach, transitioned from sports to entrepreneurship as the founder and CEO of Hostage Tape, a company focused on improving sleep quality. His journey in business was inspired by his parents' encouragement, the principles of Stoicism, and key insights from authors like Chris Voss and Robert Cialdini. Neist values emotional intelligence, effective communication, and the art of negotiation in both his personal and professional life. Under his leadership, Hostage Tape emphasizes the importance of detail in product development and marketing, learning from early challenges in manufacturing and advertising. Neist believes in giving his team autonomy and continuously seeks to improve through lessons learned from books like Voss's "Never Split the Difference."  His approach to building a strong network involves creating desirable products and reaching out to influential individuals. Neist trusts his instincts for business pivots and stays motivated by viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. What Alex and Travis discussed: Mouth breathing can significantly impact sleep quality and health. Alex went down a "rabbit hole" researching ways to address his snoring and poor sleep, eventually discovering mouth taping. This simple technique helped transform his sleep and energy levels. Building a successful business takes time and perseverance. Alex spent 16 years building his first company through constant failures and learning. This grit prepared him for the meteoric growth of his newest venture. Success is rarely overnight. Surrounding yourself with people on the path you want to be on is crucial. Alex  stresses finding mentors and examples that exemplify your vision and values rather than listening to naysayers without relevant experience. We become like those we surround ourselves with. Delegating tasks and responsibilities is key as a business scales. As Alex's company grew quickly, he focused on letting go of control by empowering his team to take on more. Learning to delegate instead of doing everything yourself is vital. Small problems can snowball into relationship breakdowns if not addressed. Something as simple as loud snoring compounded over the years for Alex, driving his wife out of their bedroom. This was a catalyst leading to their separation and divorce. We must proactively work on the small issues. This was a wide-ranging, vulnerable conversation with much to learn.

    ]]>     5057 no     898: Wylie McGraw | How to Accelerate Performance in Life and in Business http://www.travischappell.com Wylie McGraw (@wyliemcgraw) is a former star athlete and 3-tour combat veteran who has become a high-performance coach to CEOs, entrepreneurs, and public figures. Named a "secret weapon" by influential leaders, his work provides an elite edge by ending stress and sustaining peak performance. With a reputation as a direct and honest mentor, Wylie has developed principles to unleash untapped potential and achieve self-mastery. His combat experience gives him unique insights into overcoming obstacles and advancing personal growth. Wylie operates on the belief that with the right radical intervention, anyone can reach their fullest potential. He has worked with influential leaders such as Will Smith, Elon Musk, Kanye West, and he is the host of the Wise Words & Whiskey Podcast What Travis and Wylie discussed:  Sports and athletics at a young age teach important lessons about self-awareness, working hard towards goals, handling adversity, and being part of a team. Getting kids involved can expand their capacity for performance in other areas of life. The personal development industry often sells a "hamster wheel" of programs and gurus rather than helping people truly find themselves. It's important to discern what works for you rather than getting caught up in the marketing hype. True high-performance coaching is about building relationships, asking the hard questions, and pushing people beyond their self-imposed limits - not just trying to make money. Coaches should focus on transformational results rather than numbers. Leaving every relationship better than you found it, even small gestures like an introduction or book recommendation, pays off exponentially in the long run through expanding your network and opportunities. On his podcast "Wise Words & Whiskey," Wiley has authentic conversations about life and performance over a nice bottle of whiskey matched to each guest. It's a chance to gain wisdom in a casual environment. This was an insightful conversation about living life on your own terms and the difference between surface-level coaching and truly transformational work.

With over 38 million views across her platforms, Thais has helped thousands transform limiting beliefs and behaviors through her integrated attachment theory model. This expansion on traditional attachment theory empowers the healing of different life attachments to enable personal growth. Thais founded The Personal Development School, offering acclaimed courses based on her academic training and in-depth client research. She is certified in over 13 modalities, including CBT and NLP, with a Ph.D. in the field. What Travis and Thais discussed: Going through hardship and pain can be extremely valuable. As Thais said, the hardest times of her life taught her the most important lessons. Embracing and learning from adversity makes us stronger. Understanding the subconscious mind is key to personal growth. Our subconscious drives up to 95-97% of our behaviors, yet most people focus solely on the conscious mind. We must reprogram limiting subconscious beliefs that hold us back. We are all wired for connection and suffer in its absence. Thais noticed that many of her affluent clients created unnecessary problems due to a lack of fulfillment. Seeking genuine bonds with others provides meaning. Food and the environment affect mental health more than most realize. Poor nutrition and societal divisions breed widespread issues. Taking control of our health and thinking for ourselves is essential. We must align conscious goals with subconscious needs to achieve them. Self-sabotage happens when conscious desires conflict with subconscious priorities. Identifying core needs and limiting beliefs allows us to remove inner resistance. This thought-provoking discussion was about overcoming hardship, mastering the mind, the need for connection, societal issues, and achieving goals.

She currently serves as Co-Director of the Harvard Medical School Clerkship in Community Engagement and formerly was medical director of a Harvard integrative medicine program. Her research has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and she is a frequent medical commentator for MSNBC and NBC News. Dr. Nerurkar has worked extensively in global public health, including on HIV/AIDS and refugee health projects in Africa. She is the author of The Five Resets, a book on rewiring your brain to manage stress. An internationally recognized speaker, she has given talks at major conferences and corporations on building resilience. Dr. Nerurkar aims to provide science-backed strategies to help people thrive in the face of modern stressors. She also co-hosts the Time Out podcast produced by iHeartmedia and Hello Sunshine.  What Travis and Dr. Aditi discussed: Stress is unavoidable, but we can rewire our brains to manage it in a healthy way. Dr. Nerurkar explains how techniques like mindfulness and neuroplasticity can strengthen neural pathways to activate the prefrontal cortex instead of the stress-response amygdala. This allows us to thrive rather than just survive. Know yourself and walk your own path. Travis emphasizes the importance of self-discovery, following your intuition, and being true to yourself rather than conforming to others' expectations. This self-awareness and authenticity lead to fulfillment. Small steps add up through neuroplasticity. By repeating simple practices like taking mindful walks, we cement new neural pathways over time. Consistency matters more than duration. Even reluctant patients find these lifestyle tweaks effective. Combat negativity bias intentionally. We're bombarded with up to 10,000 marketing messages daily, predominantly negative. This can wire our brains to constant stress. Seeking positive inputs counteracts this, whether it's reading good books or avoiding toxic media. Our brains are shaped by what we expose them to. Live a lifetime daily. Dr. Nerurkar recommends devoting bits of each day to the important elements of life - childhood play, work, family, vacation, and retirement. This provides balance and meaning. Details like phone calls to loved ones count. Dr. Nerurkar offers science-based, actionable strategies to refocus our minds and lives.

    ]]>     3566 no     895: Eric Skwarczynski | Is That a Cult? http://www.travischappell.com Eric Skwarczynski (@eskwarczynski) is a versatile media professional with a passion for storytelling. Over the past 7 years, he has worked in various roles, including videographer, photographer, writer, and graphic designer, taking him to over 20 states and 13 countries. His mission is to shed light on the important issue of mental, physical, and sexual abuse within Independent Baptist Churches. He hosts the Preacher Boys podcast, which launched in January 2020 and has since amassed millions of downloads. Content from his podcast has been featured on Peacock and CBC, and on his accompanying YouTube channel.  He has also launched a second YouTube channel, Film School’d, featuring directors, actors, writers, Academy Award-winning FX artists, and more film industry experts. Today, Eric is promoting the new documentary "Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals" which premieres on Investigation Discovery on November 24th and 25th of 2023. The four-part docuseries exposes predatory behavior within Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches and gives voice to survivors seeking justice. Featuring first-hand accounts from survivors like Ruthy Heiler, Kathy Durbin, and Amanda Householder, Let Us Prey offers crucial insight into the troubling culture within the IFB. Eric's testimony is also featured in the documentary, continuing his mission to shed light on abuse within Independent Baptist Churches. What Travis and Eric discussed: Why Eric started the Preacher Boys podcast to expose abuse and corruption in the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) church community he grew up in. He felt someone needed to uncover the problems, even though he was no longer part of the church. The upcoming documentary "Let Us Prey" on Investigation Discovery and HBO Max will shine a bigger spotlight on abuse in the IFB. Eric and others spent significant time being interviewed for it. According to Eric, the IFB attracts and enables abuse because of its authoritarian power structure, purity culture, and lack of accountability for leaders. It sends the message that abuse will be tolerated. Both Eric and Travis emphasize the importance of continual questioning and keeping an open mind, rather than sticking dogmatically to answers that can't be questioned. This prevents becoming trapped in harmful fundamentalist thinking. They feel empathy for Christians saddened by their deconversions but ultimately had to be honest about their beliefs. Mutual love and conversation matter more than agreement. This raw, revealing conversation exposed the rampant abuse and silencing in Christian fundamentalist circles, through Eric's courageous Preacher Boys podcast and the upcoming documentary "Let Us Prey." However, effecting real change requires questioning the system and speaking truth, with integrity and empathy. Travis and Eric model this by engaging kindly across deep divides. Listen to this entire inspiring episode if you want inspiration to fight injustice with compassion. By leading with moral courage, we can take away permission to abuse power, in churches or anywhere else. A better world is possible when we stand for truth empathetically.

However, effecting real change requires questioning the system and speaking truth, with integrity and empathy. Travis and Eric model this by engaging kindly across deep divides. Listen to this entire inspiring episode if you want inspiration to fight injustice with compassion. By leading with moral courage, we can take away permission to abuse power, in churches or anywhere else. A better world is possible when we stand for truth empathetically.

    ]]>     4706 no     894: Stevie Hendrix | How to Live a Real Good Life http://www.travischappell.com Stevie Hendrix (@stevie_hendrix) is a globally recognized digital creator who has spent almost a decade connecting with millions worldwide alongside his wife Sazan. Together, Stevie and Sazan invite their 'online fam' into their lives through social media, cultivating an engaged community centered around kindness. As a true influencer, Stevie's impact stretches far beyond the digital space. He has partnered with globally-recognized brands like Target, Disney, AMEX, and Macy's as a brand ambassador and spokesperson. His infectious positivity and compassion have struck a chord with followers and brands alike. Stevie and Sazan have been featured extensively in major publications, including Cosmopolitan, People, Forbes.com, and graced the covers of magazines like Austin Living and Magnify. At his core, Stevie aims to spread more love, joy and inspiration through his work - regardless of algorithms, platforms or ventures. He is dedicated to uplifting others and making a difference through the incredible reach of his digital profiles. Their book A Real Good Life will help you be more intentional with each hour of your day, build deeper connections, establish sustainable rhythms, recognize the value of reflecting, focusing, gathering, and resting, and inspire you to cherish life's gift in each moment. What Travis and Stevie Discussed: Work hard when you're young to set yourself up for success later. In your 20s, you have energy and time on your side that you won't have later when you have more responsibilities. Use that time to grind, take risks, and build skills that set you up for bigger success down the road. Have a vision for your work. Grinding just to grind accomplishes little. Understand the lifestyle you want in the future, and use the hustle of your younger years to build towards that vision. With a purpose behind it, hard work in your 20s pays off enormously later. Struggle now or struggle later - the struggle is inevitable. It's better to purposefully take on hard things when you're young and able to control the circumstances more. Putting off struggle until later only makes it more difficult. Embrace the necessary struggle on your terms. The hustle is about focused, quality work, not just quantity of hours. Work smarter by examining how you spend your time and cutting out unproductive activities. A few hours of deep focus outpaces unfocused work for 14+ hours. The hustle is about working intelligently. Cultivate the garden you have. Your life circumstances may not be ideal or what you envisioned, but you can still cultivate goodness daily. Start with the garden you have rather than wishing for a different plot - make the most of the gifts and people around you now. Stevie provides an inspiring perspective on making the most of your younger years and cultivating a life you love. For more insights, be sure to listen to the full conversation on the Travis Makes Friends podcast episode with Stevin and how his book "A Real Good Life expands on creating meaning through simple, daily moments.

    ]]>     3763 no     892: Jen Gottlieb | Giving Yourself Permission to Be Seen http://www.travischappell.com Jen Gottlieb (@jen_gottlieb) joins Travis Chappell in this inspiring episode of Travis Makes Friends to discuss her journey as an entrepreneur, speaker, and author. From auditioning for Broadway roles to creating a personal training business to manifesting her dream partner, Jen shares the ups and downs that eventually led her to where she is today. Before co-founding Super Connector Media, Jen Gottlieb was pursuing her dreams of becoming an actress in New York City. Her dedication led to landing a role in the Broadway National Tour of The Wedding Singer. But that was just the start of Jen's acting career. She went on to score a role on the hit VH1 TV series That Metal Show as "Miss Box of Junk", aka "The Vanna White of Rock and Roll". The only problem? Jen wasn't actually a fan of heavy metal music. After the show's cancellation and a breakup all in one week, Jen turned hardship into growth. She realized sometimes difficult times happen so transformation can too. Jen created the fulfillment, alignment, visibility and impact she dreamed of by fully stepping into the spotlight and letting the world see the real her.  Jen currently is promoting her new book: BE SEEN. Her book is the ultimate roadmap that will show you how to live out the life that you know you were meant to live. Not only will it help you build the confidence necessary to make this happen, it will equip you with all the essential tools you need to find your unique voice, build your brand, and live out loud! What Travis and Jen discussed: Why you need to take action to manifest your goals. Jen manifested huge milestones like booking her dream role and meeting her husband by not just visualizing what she wanted but also taking steps to make it happen. Manifesting requires putting yourself in the right situations and opportunities. How to turn rejection into fuel. Jen has faced rejection throughout her life, from losing out on acting roles to having book proposals turned down by publishers. But she used those rejections as motivation to keep taking action and work harder. Rejection is part of success. The importance of being yourself. Jen got cast on a TV show by showcasing her true personality, not the persona she thought they wanted. She lost herself playing a character on TV for years. Your authentic self will connect best with your audience. The reason behind never giving up. No matter how many setbacks Jen faced, she persisted in pursuing her goals. She knew what she wanted even as a child and never let anything stop her from achieving it. If you stay committed, you can create the life you envision. The truth about finding purpose. Jen thought her purpose was acting, but it evolved into motivational speaking which feels more aligned. Sometimes your purpose is not what you expect. Stay open and it will reveal itself. This conversation is perfect for any aspiring entrepreneur or creator. Be sure to listen to the full episode and feel inspired by Jen's story!

    ]]>     3168 no     891: Aleric Heck | How to Skyrocket Your Business with YouTube Ads http://www.travischappell.com At just 26 years old, Aleric Heck (@alericheck) has already accomplished what most entrepreneurs only dream of. He started on YouTube over 14 years ago by creating AppFind, which grew into the largest app review channel at the time with over 500k subscribers. Now Aleric runs the highly successful 8-figure company AdOutreach, where he empowers entrepreneurs to harness the power of value-driven video and scale their businesses on YouTube. His clients have collectively generated multiple 9 figures in revenue. Aleric has received ClickFunnels prestigious 2CommaClub-X award, and AdOutreach was ranked the 87th fastest growing company in America by INC 5000. Leveraging his phenomenal results, Aleric has built several other ventures, acquired companies, and invested in businesses with a mission to empower entrepreneurs to share their ideas and solutions with the world. What Travis and Aleric discussed: Mistakes are inevitable when building a business. Rather than get discouraged, view mistakes as tuition you pay to learn. Refine based on data and feedback, but persist through failures on the path to success. Aleric made many mistakes starting his agency, but learned from them. Recurring revenue models are better for establishing long-term relationships and enterprise value versus one-off sales. Big companies obsess over recurring revenue for this reason. With one-off sales, each new deal feels like starting over. With recurring revenue, you continually earn trust. Running YouTube ads to your own public videos as in-stream ads can harm your channel's organic performance. The reason is that in-stream ads are skippable, so they negatively impact watch time metrics. However, in-feed ads that appear in search can boost discoverability without hurting watch time. When first starting out, it's best to niche down and focus on mastering one core skillset or service, then expand from there. This allows you to provide immense value in one area before branching out. Aleric started with a niche YouTube channel reviewing mobile apps, then leveraged that expertise to build his YouTube ads agency. To grow a YouTube channel with ads, first let your best-performing content rise organically. Then boost those top videos through in-feed ads targeted to your ideal audience. This amplifies reach while optimizing for watch time. Simply "boosting" without targeting is less effective. This is a fascinating discussion with YouTube ads expert Aleric Heck on the Travis Makes Friends podcast.

Leveraging his phenomenal results, Aleric has built several other ventures, acquired companies, and invested in businesses with a mission to empower entrepreneurs to share their ideas and solutions with the world. What Travis and Aleric discussed: Mistakes are inevitable when building a business. Rather than get discouraged, view mistakes as tuition you pay to learn. Refine based on data and feedback, but persist through failures on the path to success. Aleric made many mistakes starting his agency, but learned from them. Recurring revenue models are better for establishing long-term relationships and enterprise value versus one-off sales. Big companies obsess over recurring revenue for this reason. With one-off sales, each new deal feels like starting over. With recurring revenue, you continually earn trust. Running YouTube ads to your own public videos as in-stream ads can harm your channel's organic performance. The reason is that in-stream ads are skippable, so they negatively impact watch time metrics. However, in-feed ads that appear in search can boost discoverability without hurting watch time. When first starting out, it's best to niche down and focus on mastering one core skillset or service, then expand from there. This allows you to provide immense value in one area before branching out. Aleric started with a niche YouTube channel reviewing mobile apps, then leveraged that expertise to build his YouTube ads agency. To grow a YouTube channel with ads, first let your best-performing content rise organically. Then boost those top videos through in-feed ads targeted to your ideal audience. This amplifies reach while optimizing for watch time. Simply "boosting" without targeting is less effective.

    ]]>     4376 no     890: Natalie Friedman | Celebrity Impressions and The Art of Viral Comedy http://www.travischappell.com Natalie Friedman (@nataliefriedman) is a triple, or better yet quadruple-threat Actor, Comedian, and Voice Actor well known for her celebrity impressions and characters. Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Entertainment Tonight, Complex magazine, and more have recognized and reshared her work. With a background in improv and Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater (UCB), coupled with graduating from acting school William Esper Studio, Natalie has a plethora of acting experience and has recently taken the social media world by storm with her edgy comedy, with over 1M Instagram followers. Natalie speaks fluent Russian and has mastered dozens of internal accents and over 50 character/celebrity voices. Seems like all bets are on Natalie getting on SNL soon! What Travis and Natalie discussed: How to build a social media following over time: Natalie talks about how she slowly built up her social media presence over many years, starting from just a few thousand followers. It requires consistently creating and posting content, finding your niche, collaborating with others, and having some viral moments along the way. Rome wasn't built in a day. The importance of embracing failure and rejection: Natalie discusses bombing on stage and having shows where she considered giving up comedy. Pushing through failure and rejection is crucial for success in comedy, entrepreneurship, and most fields. Use failures as learning experiences. Why you should pursue your interests even if it means leaving people behind: Natalie left Minnesota to pursue comedy in NYC. Travis discusses leaving his religious upbringing to find "his people". Following your passion often means parting ways with some people from your past. The truth about loneliness and human connection: We are more digitally connected today yet often more lonely. Natalie emphasizes making relationships a priority, being open to new friendships, and not overly judging/labeling people. Go out, join groups, and meet people. Talk to strangers. How to collaborate with other creators: Natalie suggests reaching out through specific asks and ideas that add value, organically meeting people through your niche, and attending collab days to brainstorm content. Surround yourself with people pursuing similar interests. Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit in with the people around you? Are you pursuing big dreams that your current friends and family don't really understand? Well, you need to listen to Travis's inspirational chat with comedian Natalie Friedman to hear how she broke out of her small town in Minnesota to bravely pursue stand-up comedy and social media fame in the big cities of NYC and LA. Natalie offers real talk on pushing through rejection, collaborating with fellow creators, and the importance of human connection in this disconnected world. Travis also drops truth bombs on finding your tribe, even if it means leaving some people behind. Tune in to this empowering and entertaining episode to get motivated to confidently chase your purpose and connect with your real people!

    ]]>     3928 no     889: Adhrucia Apana | The Key to Success in Hollywood http://www.travischappell.com Adhrucia Apana (@adhrucia) is a Filmmaker and a Founder of the production company Curiosity Entertainment/GP of Curiosity Media Finance. Curiosity is home to the next production from famed television creator Mark Williams (Ozark) and "Funny Girl" written by Anthony McCarten (Theory of Everything, Bohemian Rhapsody) to be directed by Nisha Ganatra (High Note, Late Night). Her creative slate for Curiosity includes projects in conjunction with the Neese Brothers (The Umbrella Academy), Kevin Fox (Law & Order SVU, Raising Kanan), and a co-production with Alcon Entertainment and Nazrin Choudhary (Fear of the Walking Dead). Adhrucia's releases include the EMMY nominated, "The Survivor" starring Ben Foster directed by Barry Levinson, "Capone" starring Tom Hardy, and "Needle in a Timestack" starring Cynthia Ervo, Leslie Odom Jr, Orlando Bloom, and Freida Pinto-directed by John Ridley which she Executive Produced. Adhrucia has worked as an Executive in Film/TV supporting over 30 film and television shows. She graduated Cum Laude from the prestigious Carl H Linder Business Scholars program and is a conservatory-trained vocalist and thespian. Adhrucia is an active member of the diversity initiative lovingly called "Stone Soup" started by Rotten Tomatoes founder Patrick Lee and Goldhouse focused on elevating Asian and South Asian voices in the Entertainment Industry and beyond, and has served or been an advocate and volunteer for Los Angeles based non-profits Young Storytellers and Project Paper Bag. She is a founding member of the Producers Guild of America's Social Impact in Entertainment (SIE) board and an Advisory Board Member to the MOVE Network NFT Platform. What Travis and Adhrucia discussed: Adhrucia knew from a young age that she wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up traveling and being exposed to different cultures, she found that books, music, and TV shows were a common language that helped her connect with people from all backgrounds. This early passion for storytelling never left her, even when she pursued business in college. To succeed in Hollywood, you have to want it more than everybody else. Adhrucia stresses that it's not about talent, connections or who you know - it's about determination. The people who make it are the ones who simply want it the most and are willing to work harder than anyone else to achieve it. Learn the business side of your creative industry. Adhrucia went back to learn the money and economics of the entertainment business, even though she was initially allergic to anything financial. This allowed her to better understand how to create and sell her work, and gave her more creative freedom. Have confidence in a backup skill. Knowing she could rely on being a good salesperson or e-commerce entrepreneur gave Adhrucia the confidence to fully commit to producing instead of playing it safe with a side hustle. Develop expertise in multiple skills to increase your confidence. Redefine what success looks like for you. Adhrucia encourages creators to see money made from art, whether on YouTube, Vimeo or elsewhere, as success - not just traditionally-defined achievements like Oscars. Reframe your definition of success within your industry. To hear Adhrucia's story and advice for succeeding in entertainment straight from her, check out the full conversation on the Travis Makes Friends podcast.

    ]]>     1967 no     887: Erwin McManus ⎸ It Doesn't Take a Genius to Think Like One http://www.travischappell.com Struggling to reach your potential? Shift your mindset and unlock your inner genius with this game-changing new book from Erwin McManus. Click here to get your copy.  Erwin McManus (@erwinmcmanus) is a renowned life architect, award-winning author, and artist, most recently releasing the groundbreaking book Mind Shift: It Doesn't Take a Genius to Think Like One. With over one million book sales and translations into multiple languages, he has captivated audiences in stadiums across seventy countries on five continents. His creative expertise has extended to consulting for esteemed organizations, from the NFL to the Pentagon. For three decades, McManus has advised CEOs, athletes, celebrities, and billion-dollar companies, helping them overcome limitations and unlock their personal genius. As the founder and lead pastor of Mosaic, a global spiritual movement, he has inspired millions and leads impactful humanitarian initiatives alongside his wife, Kim. McManus continues to coach leaders and entrepreneurs worldwide, sharing his wisdom through McManus Mastermind and The Seven Frequencies of Communication.  What Erwin and Travis discussed:  Why questioning your beliefs is crucial for growth. Erwin discussed how constantly questioning his own beliefs and assumptions, even those he felt strongly about, opened him up to new possibilities and prevented him from getting stuck in rigid thinking. This willingness to question oneself is vital for continuous learning and development. How to have thoughtful conversations with people of differing beliefs. Erwin emphasized relating to others through shared longings and questions rather than trying to prove yourself right. Asking good questions and listening intently creates a connection. The importance of internal structures for success. Erwin explained how developing strong mental frameworks, virtues, and habits were key to his achievements, especially coming from a disadvantage. Talent alone won't suffice - building internal structures is essential. The reason behind choosing kindness as a guiding principle. For Erwin, deciding at a young age to pursue kindness shaped his character enormously. He held onto this commitment despite being told it would make him weak, as integrity mattered more. The truth about certainty and humility. Erwin stressed that he doesn't believe he is absolutely right about anything. True confidence comes from recognizing your fallibility and being willing to change based on new information. Arrogance fears being questioned, while humility invites it. Feeling stuck in your life and career? It's time for a mind shift.

    ]]>     822 no     883: Midweek Mashup | Perspectives on "Hustle Culture" http://www.travischappell.com Travis Makes Friends is back with another insightful mashup episode, this time diving deep into the topic of hustle culture. Travis brings together perspectives from three influential guests - Ed Mylett, Jefferson Bethke, and Keala Kanae - to uncover the truth about hustling and what it really takes to find meaning and success. In this episode:  Why balance is a fallacy, according to Ed Mylett (@edmylett). He explains that extremity expands capacity - the more you push in one area, the more it expands your ability in another. Rather than balance, he advises to "be where your feet are" and focus completely on the task at hand. Why hustle culture is toxic, according to Jefferson Bethke (@jeffersonbethke). He explains how making work about identity rather than material production is a new phenomenon that correlates with surging anxiety and depression rates. Also, Jefferson views social media as a "family photo album." It's normal to share highlights, but problematic to constantly compare your daily life to others' best moments. The solution is moderation, not manufacturing experiences just for social media. The importance of linking your values to things you don't enjoy, from Keala Kanae (@kealakanae).

Travis brings together perspectives from three influential guests - Ed Mylett, Jefferson Bethke, and Keala Kanae - to uncover the truth about hustling and what it really takes to find meaning and success. In this episode:  Why balance is a fallacy, according to Ed Mylett (@edmylett). He explains that extremity expands capacity - the more you push in one area, the more it expands your ability in another.

    ]]>     2135 no     882: Dr. Jaquish | Vegetables Are Poison, Carbs Are Killer, and Ice Baths Are Overrated http://www.travischappell.com Dr. John Jaquish (@drjaquish) is an acclaimed inventor and researcher who has dedicated his career to developing innovative healthcare technologies. As the inventor of the world's most effective bone density-building medical device, Dr. Jaquish's groundbreaking work has been described as "Tony Stark-like" by the media. His first major invention is now used in partnership with Tony Robbins and OsteoStrong clinics worldwide to help patients rapidly improve bone density. Driven by discoveries from this work, Dr. Jaquish went on to invent X3, a technology proven to build muscle much faster than conventional weight training with minimal joint strain. With a focus on optimizing human performance and health, Dr. Jaquish's methods are used for elite training by athletes in the NFL, NBA, Olympics, and entire organizations like the Miami Heat. Dr. Jaquish holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and continues to research and innovate new solutions that push the limits of exercise science and sports medicine. He’s also the author of Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, a Wall Street Journal Best Seller.  What Travis and Dr. Jaquish discussed: How to build strong bones without injury risk: Dr. Jaquish developed osteogenic loading, which uses axial compression to provide powerful bone stimulus without the impact injuries of high-intensity athletics. This can reverse and prevent bone loss. Why calcium supplements can worsen bone loss: The reason behind this is your body regulates calcium levels, so excess calcium from supplements can signal your bones to release more calcium. The importance of an animal-based diet for bone health: Dr. Jaquish explains that vegan diets destroy bone health due to anti-nutrients in plant foods that weaken bones. An animal-based diet maintains bone density. The truth about the corrupt food pyramid guidelines: Dr. Jaquish reveals the government promotes high-carb diets for cost reasons, not for public health. He advises limiting carbs. Why artificial sweeteners aren't risk-free: The reason behind this is that sucralose and aspartame are linked to cancer risks. Dr. Jaquish advises limiting the intake of these sweeteners. If you want the uncensored truth about building strong bones, tuning out corrupt government guidelines, and eating for optimal health, you need to listen to this interview with Dr. John Jaquish, as he pulls no punches, exposing the lies we've been told about nutrition. He reveals shocking realities about veganism, artificial sweeteners, the cold plunge, supplements and, the bogus food pyramid designed to make Americans weak and sick.  Don’t forget to subscribe to our Youtube Channel, @travismakesfriends Follow Travis on: IG 👉🏻 instagram.com/travischappell FB 👉🏻 facebook.com/traviscchappell Twitter 👉🏻 twitter.com/traviscchappell Pinterest 👉🏻 pinterest.com/travischappellpod  Subscribe to Travis Makes Friends on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and don’t forget to leave a 5-star rating!Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     3621 yes     881: Freestyle Friday | The Future of Crypto and NFTs http://www.travischappell.com In this episode, we feature clips from my conversation with crypto expert Dan Fleyshman on the future outlook for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and digital assets like NFTs (non-fungible tokens). As these alternative digital assets continue to evolve, it's valuable to gain perspective on where they might be headed in 2023 and beyond. In this episode: The hype around random NFT art is fading, but NFTs still have practical utility for brands and companies. Major corporations like Starbucks and Ferrari are embracing them. The importance of NFTs providing real-world utility beyond just digital art. NFTs with practical applications will have more longevity. While many cryptocurrencies exist, Bitcoin and Ethereum appear here to stay due to their functionality and adoption. The reason behind Bitcoin's limited supply driving up demand. As more entities acquire Bitcoin, supply shrinks, making Bitcoin potentially more scarce and valuable long-term. How Bitcoin's volatility makes it higher risk short-term but lower risk long-term due to its track record and inevitability. Time in the market is more important than timing the market. The truth about the proliferation of cryptocurrencies. While many exist, only a small percentage have real-world utility and will thrive. The focus should be on cryptocurrencies solving real problems. This episode provides a balanced look at the realities and potential behind cryptocurrency and NFTs. While the future is uncertain, these insights can guide us toward more informed decisions in this evolving landscape.

    ]]>     750 no     880: Midweek Mashup ⎸ How to Build Confidence ft. Lori Harder, Ed Mylett & Aubrey Marcus http://www.travischappell.com On this week's mashup of Travis Makes Friends, we dive into the topic of how to build real, sustainable confidence. We went back into the archives and pulled out clips from interviews with Lori Harder, Ed Mylett, and Aubrey Marcus, where they each share their unique perspectives on developing true confidence. After listening, you'll walk away with a toolbox of proven mindset shifts and practical strategies from these experts that you can start applying to your life immediately to transform your self-belief. In this week’s mashup: Why facing your fears is crucial for building confidence:  Lori Harder (@loriharder) explains that overcoming fear was the first step she had to take to build her confidence. Whether it was fear of judgment, fear of failure, or fear of panic attacks, facing those fears head-on and moving through them allowed her to expand her comfort zone and believe in herself. Pushing past your fears helps reprogram your beliefs about what you are capable of. How to balance self-confidence with humility:  Ed Mylett (@edmylett) highlights the importance of tempering self-confidence with humility. Arrogance and ego can be confidence killers. Staying humble, curious, and open to learning helps sustain confidence in the long run. According to Ed, surrounding yourself with people who "live at higher temperatures" in areas where you want to grow is key. How to program your mind for confidence: Ed Mylett details how adversity in childhood shaped his ability to read people and make them feel good - superpowers that built his confidence. He gives specific tips for reprogramming your RAS (reticular activating system) to boost self-belief. Mastering your mental patterns is key to unlocking confidence. The reason behind testing yourself:  Aubrey Marcus (@aubreymarcus) explains that putting yourself in challenging situations expands your capacity and builds confidence. It reveals your edges and exposes your weaknesses so you can grow. Things like cold plunges, intense workouts, and vulnerability in relationships build emotional resilience. Progress requires some discomfort - stay committed. The truth about open relationships and confidence:  Aubrey Marcus shares how his open relationship forced him to confront his need for external validation. His confidence took a hit initially. But it ultimately freed him from needing others' approval and helped him rely on his self-worth. Open relationships build confidence through extreme emotional training.

    ]]>     2252 no     879: Rebecca Zung ⎸ How to Negotiate with a Narcissist http://www.travischappell.com Rebecca Zung (@rebeccazung) has been recognized as one of the Best Lawyers in America by U.S. News and is a globally recognized expert on negotiating with narcissists, with over 35 million views on YouTube in just two years. Rebecca created the SLAY® Negotiation Method and is the author of the upcoming book SLAY the Bully: How to Negotiate with a Narcissist and Win, which features a foreword by Chris Voss. She has also written two bestselling books: Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win, with a foreword by Robert Shapiro, and Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom. Rebecca is frequently called upon to provide her perspective in media outlets, including Extra, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Dr. Drew, and Ed Mylett’s Podcast.  Her podcast, Negotiate Your Best Life, is ranked in the top 0.5% of all podcasts globally. Along with In-N-Out Burger owner Lynsi Snyder Ellingson, Rebecca founded Slay Legal Aid, a 501c3 that provides legal aid to those in need. What Travis and Rebecca discussed: Why Consistency is Key: Rebecca explains that it took her around 10 years of consistently speaking at networking events, publishing articles, and building her brand before she reached a point where she no longer had to market her law practice actively. This shows the importance of sticking with marketing and branding efforts over the long haul rather than giving up after just a few attempts. How to Leverage Relationships: Rebecca highlights how key relationships, like the one with her best friend who encouraged her and the woman who gave her an existing law practice, were pivotal moments that helped propel her forward.  The Reason Behind Rebecca's Pivot: After building a very successful law practice, Rebecca explains she merged it with others because she was burnt out. This shows that even when something is going well, don't be afraid to make a change if it no longer aligns with your passion and purpose. Why Negotiating with a Narcissist is Challenging: Rebecca explains that narcissists see things as black and white, and their goal is often not just to win but to make the other person lose. She notes that trying to negotiate with a narcissist rationally typically doesn't work because they are focused on their own self-interest and "narcissistic supply." Rebecca suggests figuring out what matters most to the narcissist and using that as leverage when negotiating. How to Turn Setbacks into Opportunities: When a business partnership went south, Rebecca used it as motivation to double down on her strengths. She refined her negotiation program, embraced online marketing, and ultimately built a thriving business that allowed her to make a bigger impact.

Rebecca created the SLAY® Negotiation Method and is the author of the upcoming book SLAY the Bully: How to Negotiate with a Narcissist and Win, which features a foreword by Chris Voss. She has also written two bestselling books: Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win, with a foreword by Robert Shapiro, and Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom. Rebecca is frequently called upon to provide her perspective in media outlets, including Extra, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Dr. Drew, and Ed Mylett’s Podcast.  Her podcast, Negotiate Your Best Life, is ranked in the top 0.5% of all podcasts globally. Along with In-N-Out Burger owner Lynsi Snyder Ellingson, Rebecca founded Slay Legal Aid, a 501c3 that provides legal aid to those in need. What Travis and Rebecca discussed: Why Consistency is Key: Rebecca explains that it took her around 10 years of consistently speaking at networking events, publishing articles, and building her brand before she reached a point where she no longer had to market her law practice actively. This shows the importance of sticking with marketing and branding efforts over the long haul rather than giving up after just a few attempts. How to Leverage Relationships: Rebecca highlights how key relationships, like the one with her best friend who encouraged her and the woman who gave her an existing law practice, were pivotal moments that helped propel her forward.  The Reason Behind Rebecca's Pivot: After building a very successful law practice, Rebecca explains she merged it with others because she was burnt out. This shows that even when something is going well, don't be afraid to make a change if it no longer aligns with your passion and purpose. Why Negotiating with a Narcissist is Challenging: Rebecca explains that narcissists see things as black and white, and their goal is often not just to win but to make the other person lose. She notes that trying to negotiate with a narcissist rationally typically doesn't work because they are focused on their own self-interest and "narcissistic supply." Rebecca suggests figuring out what matters most to the narcissist and using that as leverage when negotiating. How to Turn Setbacks into Opportunities: When a business partnership went south, Rebecca used it as motivation to double down on her strengths. She refined her negotiation program, embraced online marketing, and ultimately built a thriving business that allowed her to make a bigger impact.

    ]]>     3815 no     878: Freestyle Friday | What Comedy Can Teach Us About Ourselves http://www.travischappell.com In this Freestyle Friday episode of Travis Makes Friends, I'm talking all about my recent comedy show experiences and how they got me thinking about developing a thicker skin. I discuss the value of free speech and being exposed to controversial opinions and humor we might disagree with. I believe it can actually help us mature and have more thoughtful, open conversations if we don't get so easily offended. I stress the importance of taking personal responsibility for our own reactions rather than trying to control what others say. I also examine why offensive things can get such a visceral reaction from us and how that reveals more about our own beliefs than anything else. I end by emphasizing that to find community and camaraderie, we have to be willing to interact with all different kinds of people, even "assholes." It's an insightful episode about the personal growth that comes from free speech and the risks required to make meaningful connections. In this episode: How comedy helps develop maturity and thicker skin: By being exposed to different perspectives and ideas, even controversial ones, we learn not to be so easily offended. This helps us have more open conversations. Why free speech is important: Interacting with different ideas, even incorrect ones, helps us determine what is actually correct. Trying to silence others just breeds anger and won't work. We can't control others, only ourselves. The importance of personal responsibility: We are responsible for our own reactions and feelings, not others. If something offends us, it's on us to mature and develop thicker skin. The reason behind visceral reaction: When we have strong gut reactions to something offensive, it's a sign we need to examine our own beliefs and morals, not try to control others. Paying the "asshole tax" to make connections: To build relationships and find community, we have to accept the risk of encountering some "assholes." It's a tax we pay for the reward of meaningful bonds.

    • The Importance of Making Your Own Opportunities: Rather than wait for roles or auditions, Nikki took control of her career by creating her own comedic content. She discussed the importance of betting on yourself and creating your own opportunities instead of waiting for a big break.
    • How to Balance Improving Your Craft and Making Connections: Nikki and the host discussed the nuances between developing skills ("what you know") and relationships ("who you know"). Nikki highlighted the importance of focusing on improving comedic abilities as well as networking and making connections.
    • Why Human Connections Are Key to Happiness: Nikki emphasized forming genuine human connections as vital for fulfillment, even with a successful career. She discussed making an effort to have new experiences, meet new people, and prioritize relationships despite being introverted.


    Nikki’s brand of observational humor reflects her unique worldview shaped by her journey from community theater kid to trading the runways of New York for honing her act in LA.


    Nikki dishes on developing her own voice, betting on herself to create opportunities instead of waiting for a big break, and the importance of bringing levity to the full spectrum of human experiences.

    You'll hear how she embraced creating original content despite being told she doesn’t “look funny.” Nikki brings plenty of laughs while keeping it real about rejection, relationships, and her introverted nature.

    If you crave comedy served up authentically with heart, you don't want to miss Nikki Howard on this episode. She's proof rejection and risk-taking on the road less traveled can pave the way for hilarious rewarding success.

    ]]>     4221 no     876: Midweek Mashup ⎸ Jeff Fenster http://www.travischappell.com Jeff Fenster(@fensterjeff), an entrepreneurial dynamo, Fenster firmly believes in the power of enjoyment in building successful ventures.  He is intensely committed to nurturing groundbreaking start-ups that showcase both vertical integration and revenue-stimulating innovation, alongside developing highly capable leadership teams to catalyze the growth of thriving brands. As a trailblazer in the quick-serve restaurant industry, Fenster founded Everbowl, a rapidly burgeoning superfood brand rooted in Southern California, back in 2016. Everbowl is now nationally renowned as an ascendant force within the sector, democratizing access to affordable, healthy superfoods for all. With a steadily expanding network of retail outlets in Southern California and Arizona, Fenster is the driving force behind Everbowl's extraordinary growth, with ambitions to proliferate the brand on a nationwide scale via both retail and superfood-infused Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) products.  Jeff recently launched his new podcast show called The Jeff Fenster Show, where he interviews the most successful athletes, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, like Drew Brees, Dan Fleshman, and David Meltzer, to decode and reverse engineer their success formulas. In today’s mashup, we feature clips from Jeff with Tim Gover, Drew Brees, and our own Travis Chappell: Create your own balance; don't find it; instead of seeking perfect balance, focus on purposefully tilting your priorities when needed. Be comfortable being out of balance for periods of time. Do your best, don't just try your best; giving maximum effort is more important than just trying. Don't leave yourself an excuse in case you come up short. Learn every job and skill you can, experiencing diverse roles, even less desirable ones, to develop well-rounded skills and traits. All contribute to becoming the professional you strive to be Build relationships, not transactions; the importance of building long-term, value-driven relationships with customers rather than focusing solely on one-time transactions. This allows for recurring business and referrals. Identify problems, then creatively solve them. Instead of accepting problems at face value, take time to re-evaluate the root of the issue and determine if there is an unconventional solution. Fenster did this by building a construction company to solve the high restaurant build-out costs. Everyone is in sales; no matter your role, you have to "sell" yourself, your ideas, and your value. Developing sales skills allows you to generate revenue. If you want to learn directly from elite performers like Drew Brees, Tim Grover, and Jeff Fenster, be sure to check out this episode featuring clips from Jeff's new show. You'll get insights on sales, balance, problem-solving, putting in maximum effort, and continually developing your skills.

    ]]>     2832 no     875: Dane Cook | Cancel Culture, Matt Rife, and Bouncing Back from Tragedy http://www.travischappell.com Dane Cook (@danecook) is a renowned stand-up comedian and actor famous for his high-energy observational comedy. Born in 1972 in Boston, Massachusetts, Cook began performing in the late 1990s and quickly built a dedicated fanbase through the internet and social media. His flair for dark humor led to several successful comedy albums, including 2006's "Retaliation," which was the highest-charting comedy album in 28 years. As a stand-up, Cook has headlined massive arenas like Madison Square Garden and The TD Garden in his hometown of Boston. His 2006 HBO special "Vicious Circle" and 2009 Comedy Central special "Isolated Incident" showcased his talents to wider audiences. Cook has also found success as an actor, appearing in films like "Employee of the Month," "Dan in Real Life," and providing the voice of Dusty in the animated "Planes" movies. Though sometimes controversial, Cook's comedic talents and business savvy have made him one of the most recognizable American comedians of the 2000s. Dane is currently promoting his new special “Above It All” on the “Perfectly Shattered Tour” What Travis and Dane discussed: – The importance of gratitude - Dane emphasized practicing gratitude, even in difficult moments. Why? Because gratitude helps provide perspective and appreciation for the present. It reminds you that life is a "lottery pick" and to be grateful for what you have. – How to get through tough times - When you're at rock bottom, take a walk somewhere new and get different sights and sounds. This provides oxygen to your brain. Start implementing positive affirmations and self-reflection. Realize you're not defined by your current environment. – The reason behind his sobriety - A friend wisely told Dane when they were young that Dane didn't need alcohol to fit in, but that the friend did. This impacted Dane to stay sober so he could focus more seriously on comedy. – The truth about success - Massive success can be extremely lonely with few who understand your experience. It doesn't automatically bring happiness. You have to do the personal work to grow into your success. – Why he self-distributes his content - Dane talked about the importance of owning your IP as an artist. He enjoys self-distributing specials because he maintains control without anyone impeding the creative process. Whether you're striving to build a business or overcome adversity, don't miss this lively conversation where comedy legend Dane Cook taps into his extraordinary life story to share raw, thoughtful insights on achieving success, maintaining creative freedom, and nurturing personal growth.

They share their experiences publishing books both ways and offer advice on which path may be better based on your goals. In this midweek mashup, you’ll find: Why Steve Sims, author of Bluefishing and Go For Stupid, now prefers self-publishing over traditional publishing: Steve found the traditional publishing process for his first book Bluefishing draining. He wouldn't go the traditional route again since self-publishing allows more creative control. How Rebecca Zung, author of SLAY the Bully, leveraged self-publishing successfully: After a bad business experience, Rebecca wrote a book on negotiating with narcissists. She self-published and used YouTube to organically drive over 2,000 sales of her $500 online course. The truth about Dan Martell’s experience with traditional publishing: Dan went the traditional publishing route for Buy Back Your Time, for credibility but wishes he could have maintained more creative control and flexibility. The importance of considering your goals in choosing between self and traditional publishing: If earning money is the priority, self-publishing likely makes more sense. If credibility is more important, traditional may be better. How to drive traffic and sales for a self-published book: Self-publishing requires more work for marketing and selling your book.

    ]]>     1951 no     DAN FLEYSHMAN ⎸ Angel Investing, Making Millions with Collectibles and Why Crypto is Inevitable http://www.travischappell.com Dan Fleyshman's (@danfleyshman) remarkable journey as a serial entrepreneur and investor began at age 19. After licensing his apparel for $9.5 million, he became the youngest founder of a publicly traded company. But Fleyshman was just getting started. He scaled his energy drink into 55,000 stores and launched a top global online poker site. Beyond his own ventures, Fleyshman makes an impact as an investor, speaker, and philanthropist. He has invested in 43 companies, spoken at over 250 events, and started a charity providing homeless care packages. Currently, he hosts a chart-topping business podcast, The Money Mondays. Fleyshman's latest endeavor is the ASPIRE Tour, With an impressive roster of celebrity and business speakers, the ASPIRE Tour provides invaluable insights for aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs alike. ASPIRE Tour has an impressive track record and boasts an incredible lineup of powerhouse speakers, making it an irresistible opportunity for aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs alike.  By the end of 2024, 60,000 more entrepreneurs are expected to be part of the ASPIRE Tour community and benefit from its valuable insights and tools to fuel their success by learning from celebrities, athletes, and business moguls.  What Travis and Dan discussed: How Dan recently merged his Elevator events company with Aspire Tour to create a powerhouse events business. With his small "ninja" team that was doing $27 million in events merging with Aspire's large existing business doing $72 million, they now have the scale and infrastructure to host events ranging from free to $100k masterminds.  How to evaluate startup investments: Dan looks first at the founder and their ability to stick through ups and downs. He wants to see that people care about the product and vote with their wallets by buying it. He prefers companies doing at least $2 million in sales to reduce risk. Dan's core value of doing what he says he will: Dan attributes his success to always following through on commitments, whether it's showing up for a podcast or making an intro. Compounding thousands of small actions over decades builds expansive relationships. Why Bitcoin is inevitable: Dan explains how the finite supply of Bitcoin (potentially only 10-15 million left accessible) coupled with increasing mainstream adoption makes its future appreciation inevitable. He emphasizes thinking long-term - while volatile today, in 10-20 years Bitcoin has consistently gone up year after year.

After licensing his apparel for $9.5 million, he became the youngest founder of a publicly traded company. But Fleyshman was just getting started. He scaled his energy drink into 55,000 stores and launched a top global online poker site. Beyond his own ventures, Fleyshman makes an impact as an investor, speaker, and philanthropist. He has invested in 43 companies, spoken at over 250 events, and started a charity providing homeless care packages. Currently, he hosts a chart-topping business podcast, The Money Mondays. Fleyshman's latest endeavor is the ASPIRE Tour, With an impressive roster of celebrity and business speakers, the ASPIRE Tour provides invaluable insights for aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs alike. ASPIRE Tour has an impressive track record and boasts an incredible lineup of powerhouse speakers, making it an irresistible opportunity for aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs alike.  By the end of 2024, 60,000 more entrepreneurs are expected to be part of the ASPIRE Tour community and benefit from its valuable insights and tools to fuel their success by learning from celebrities, athletes, and business moguls.  What Travis and Dan discussed: How Dan recently merged his Elevator events company with Aspire Tour to create a powerhouse events business. With his small "ninja" team that was doing $27 million in events merging with Aspire's large existing business doing $72 million, they now have the scale and infrastructure to host events ranging from free to $100k masterminds.  How to evaluate startup investments: Dan looks first at the founder and their ability to stick through ups and downs. He wants to see that people care about the product and vote with their wallets by buying it. He prefers companies doing at least $2 million in sales to reduce risk. Dan's core value of doing what he says he will: Dan attributes his success to always following through on commitments, whether it's showing up for a podcast or making an intro. Compounding thousands of small actions over decades builds expansive relationships. Why Bitcoin is inevitable: Dan explains how the finite supply of Bitcoin (potentially only 10-15 million left accessible) coupled with increasing mainstream adoption makes its future appreciation inevitable. He emphasizes thinking long-term - while volatile today, in 10-20 years Bitcoin has consistently gone up year after year.

    ]]>     3401 no     HALA TAHA | The Long Game of Building a Business http://www.travischappell.com Hala Taha (@yapwithhala)is the acclaimed host of the top-ranked "Young and Profiting Podcast" in the Education category and the dynamic CEO of YAP Media, a premier social media and podcast marketing firm. Her journey in the media world began during her college years, producing for HOT97's "The Angie Martinez Show.” Venturing into digital media, Hala founded "The Sorority of Hip Hop," an entertainment news platform, leading a robust team of 50 female bloggers. As the digital media landscape evolved, Hala transitioned to pursue an MBA, amassing 7 years of strategic marketing expertise at renowned firms like HP and Disney Streaming Services. What began as a passion project, the Young and Profiting Podcast and YAP Media, has flourished into a powerhouse business with a roster of elite clients and a team of over 40 professionals. What Travis and Hala discussed: Why persistence and consistency are so important: Hala faced many rejections and setbacks early on in her career, but she persisted and kept trying new opportunities while honing her skills. Her consistency with working on her podcast for 2 years before it took off demonstrates why perseverance pays off. How developing a wide range of transferable skills enabled her success: By building diverse skills like audio editing, marketing, design, and motivating teams, Hala prepared herself to start and grow businesses more easily later on. This demonstrates how having versatile abilities can unlock opportunities. The importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people: Hala highlights how crucial it is to find mentors who see your potential and believe in you even when others don't. Her father always backed her up, showing the tremendous impact advocates can have. Why solving rich people’s problems results in higher pay: By charging high prices to clients like CEOs and celebrities, Hala earned significant fees because the value they receive can justify much higher rates than servicing average customers. This shows the power of serving those with money. How capitalizing on opportunities and learning from failures enables growth: Even though Hala didn't succeed at every opportunity, she gained experience each time that she could apply later. She stresses the importance of continuing to put yourself out there to create breakthroughs. Hala Taha turned her passion into profits through sheer hustle and persistence, and her story provides a masterclass in business building for any entrepreneur. If you want to learn how to grow an audience, monetize your content, and scale your platform like Hala did, head to yapmedia.io and connect with her elite team. Don't let anything stop you from achieving your biggest goals—it’s time to silence the doubters, follow Hala’s blueprint, and start profitable projects that allow you to do work you love.

    ]]>     1156 no     DAN MARTELL | Buy Back Your Time http://www.travischappell.com Dan Martell (@danmartell) is a successful serial entrepreneur, author, and business coach who struggled early in life before finding his path. After a troubled childhood, Dan tried and failed multiple times in his early twenties to launch technology companies. It was at age 24 that Dan found success, building his first company, Spheric Technologies. However, despite rapid growth, Dan struggled as a solo founder to scale Spheric effectively. Through perseverance and learning from mentors, Dan could turn things around, sell Spheric profitably, and build and sell two more companies. Having learned the hard way, Dan made it his mission to shortcut the path for other entrepreneurs. He began coaching and created SaaS Academy to help SaaS founders rapidly grow their companies by avoiding common pitfalls. Dan's journey from troubled teen to successful serial entrepreneur allows him to relate to the struggles of other founders. He combines real-world experience with expert coaching to help entrepreneurs scale smarter.  Dan is also the author of the best-selling book Buy Back Your Time. ​In this book, Dan teaches critical strategies to install systems and develop mindsets that allow entrepreneurs to engage in high-value work and succeed in business while enjoying more freedom than they ever imagined. What Dan and Travis discussed: How to not grow your business painfully: Dan explains that entrepreneurs avoid pain, so trying to scale your business by doubling your workload will not be sustainable in the long-term. Instead, hire people strategically to buy back your time so you can focus on higher-level strategic work. The importance of documenting processes and training your team: Dan emphasizes creating SOPs, checklists, and training so you can get consistent results from your team. This provides leverage through codifying your knowledge and systems. Why you should surround yourself with people already doing what you want to do: Surrounding yourself with others ahead of you provides leverage through collaboration. How Dan creates an environment and lifestyle for his family's long-term fulfillment: Dan makes choices thinking of the positive impact on his loved ones over decades, not just short-term gains. The importance of becoming an emotional coach for your kids: Dan focuses on developing his kids' self-confidence and resilience. He doesn't solve all their problems or do everything for them, allowing them to learn life skills. The standard issue of consistency without results: Dan observes that just showing up and putting in time without meaningful output won't lead to success. It's essential to evaluate if you're making real progress periodically. Knowing yourself is vital before relationships: Dan emphasizes that you need self-awareness to have healthy relationships. Understand your flaws, triggers, and shadows to improve your interactions with others.

    ]]>     1835 no     PAUL CHAMBERS | The Founder of SubSummit http://www.travischappell.com Paul Chambers (@paulcchambers), a seasoned entrepreneur who embarked on his business journey in fifth grade, is the co-founder and CEO of the Subscription Trade Association (SUBTA) and the renowned event SubSummit. His career in the subscription commerce sector spans over 20 years, garnering him recognition from numerous domestic and global media outlets. Paul's entrepreneurial footprint began with establishing a digital marketing agency, a web hosting service, and managed IT services businesses. Two of these three ventures have been lucratively exited, with the third still actively providing services today. Adding to his versatile business portfolio, Paul spent over a decade in the retail and food industry. His past roles include owning and managing Dale and Thomas Popcorn franchise locations across Metro Detroit. He is an investor and partner in Capri Pizza, based in Southfield, Michigan. Further enhancing his retail acumen, Paul played a pivotal role in developing and marketing Captiva, a fast-growing consumer packaged goods pain relief product, now available in CVS stores nationwide. Outside the corporate world, Paul is a dedicated firefighter serving the City of Troy. What Travis and Paul Discussed: How Paul started SubSummit 2016 as a small event for subscription box companies to network and share ideas. It has now grown into the largest subscription-focused conference in the country, with thousands of attendees across industries like SaaS, memberships, etc. Why, when hiring, look for values alignment first? Skills can be taught, but core values are much harder to change. Go beyond just interview questions to get meals and drinks and hang out in informal settings. Listen to your gut instinct when something feels off about a person or situation. Your subconscious is processing millions of data points from your experiences. As fathers, Travis and Paul aim to set an example through business and other pursuits that minimize the gap between the men their kids see them as and who they are. Why does bringing on someone intimidatingly skilled and experienced force founders to check their egos? It's better to have someone tell you what to do in areas where you're weak than pretend you can do everything. Rapid problem-solving and leading teams under pressure are skilled Paul has developed as a volunteer firefighter that transfer to business. Pushing yourself physically and mentally keeps you sharp. If you want to learn how to build an audience from scratch, hire all-star team members, and set an example for your kids, don't miss my conversation with Paul Chambers. We covered how he went from hosting small networking events to running the largest subscription conference in America. Paul also shared his unique approach to finding employees who align with his values by going beyond just interview questions. As busy entrepreneurs and fathers, we discussed the importance of minimizing the gap between the men our kids think we are and who we truly are. Paul even revealed how volunteer firefighting keeps him mentally sharp and physically fit as he solves pressure-related problems.

    ]]>     7175 no     JEFF FENSTER | Revolutionizing the Superfood Industry http://www.travischappell.com Jeff Fenster(@fensterjeff), an entrepreneurial dynamo, Fenster firmly believes in the power of camaraderie and enjoyment in building successful ventures. He is intensely committed to nurturing groundbreaking start-ups that showcase both vertical integration and revenue-stimulating innovation, alongside developing highly capable leadership teams to catalyze the growth of thriving brands. As a trailblazer in the quick-serve restaurant industry, Fenster founded Everbowl™, a rapidly burgeoning superfood brand rooted in Southern California, back in 2016. Everbowl is now nationally renowned as an ascendant force within the sector, democratizing access to affordable, healthy superfoods for all. With a steadily expanding network of retail outlets in Southern California and Arizona, Fenster is the driving force behind Everbowl's extraordinary growth, with ambitions to proliferate the brand on a nationwide scale via both retail and superfood-infused Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) products. In his successful expansion of the brand, Fenster has pioneered the adoption of innovative strategies to enhance Everbowl's revenue-generating efficiencies across areas like operations, procurement, supply chain, and construction. As a motivational mentor and adept team architect, Fenster is committed to fostering a vibrant company culture where the mantra is "make friends and have fun". Fenster also maintains an active role in community advocacy, generously dedicating his time and resources to support his local community. What Travis and Jeff discussed: The societal expectation for teenagers to have a clear idea of their life path, despite their limited life experience and perspective, Jeff shares his own experience of feeling unfulfilled and unsure in academia, nearly dropping out of college, and realizing after law school that he didn't want to pursue his original goal. How Jeff has learned the value of being 'change ready' and believing that when deciding whether to pivot or persevere, one should play out both scenarios and decide which outcome they'd rather live with, underlining the value of a college degree not in specific skills acquired, but in demonstrating commitment and adaptability. Why Jeff thinks that while marketing has the potential for scalability and high earnings, he believes that sales is a more crucial skill, especially for entrepreneurship and leadership, as it involves persuasion and effective communication, which can be applied in various situations. How Jeff leveraged relationship capital and sales acumen to establish a successful digital marketing agency in partnership with renowned SEO expert Neil Patel, eventually leading to substantial personal financial gain. Jeff’s passion for health and wellness, eventually deciding to disrupt the industry by founding the Everbowl chain of wellness-focused restaurants; his unique approach to business expansion involved developing an in-house construction company to reduce build costs and timeframes, demonstrating an entrepreneurial mindset to identify and solve problems, which played a significant role in Everbowl's success and rapid growth.

In his successful expansion of the brand, Fenster has pioneered the adoption of innovative strategies to enhance Everbowl's revenue-generating efficiencies across areas like operations, procurement, supply chain, and construction. As a motivational mentor and adept team architect, Fenster is committed to fostering a vibrant company culture where the mantra is "make friends and have fun". Fenster also maintains an active role in community advocacy, generously dedicating his time and resources to support his local community. What Travis and Jeff discussed: The societal expectation for teenagers to have a clear idea of their life path, despite their limited life experience and perspective, Jeff shares his own experience of feeling unfulfilled and unsure in academia, nearly dropping out of college, and realizing after law school that he didn't want to pursue his original goal. How Jeff has learned the value of being 'change ready' and believing that when deciding whether to pivot or persevere, one should play out both scenarios and decide which outcome they'd rather live with, underlining the value of a college degree not in specific skills acquired, but in demonstrating commitment and adaptability. Why Jeff thinks that while marketing has the potential for scalability and high earnings, he believes that sales is a more crucial skill, especially for entrepreneurship and leadership, as it involves persuasion and effective communication, which can be applied in various situations. How Jeff leveraged relationship capital and sales acumen to establish a successful digital marketing agency in partnership with renowned SEO expert Neil Patel, eventually leading to substantial personal financial gain. Jeff’s passion for health and wellness, eventually deciding to disrupt the industry by founding the Everbowl chain of wellness-focused restaurants; his unique approach to business expansion involved developing an in-house construction company to reduce build costs and timeframes, demonstrating an entrepreneurial mindset to identify and solve problems, which played a significant role in Everbowl's success and rapid growth.

    ]]>     2286 no     FREESTYLE FRIDAY | The Problem With Alpha Males http://www.travischappell.com The worst advertisement for being an alpha male is, in fact, alpha males. There’s an entire movement now of Alpha Male influencers that have taken the social algorithms by storm and as someone who is an ultra-competitive dude, I’ve like some stuff and not liked some stuff.  So today I’m gonna talk about the things I like and the things that I don’t like.  Let’s start with the positives.  First of all, I like that there are men who are standing up the broader attack on manhood as whole that seems to be happening in our culture.  This has been happening more and more recently where if there’s a man in a tv show or movie, he’s often portrayed as this clumsy, out of touch, mistake factory, and although some of the characters are fantastic, it gets a little old and it teaches people that that’s what men are.  And look, I get it. Men were held in such high regard for all of human history that it makes them the easy target now.  But now we are experiencing a pendulum swing in the opposite direction and it’s becoming hard to find good examples of what it means to be a man.  So I like that there are some men who are saying, this is it. This is the example.  I also like that it is bringing more attention to the conversation from people who have been fighting so hard for their rights for so long and unintentionally shitting on manhood and are now realizing that championing themselves doesn’t mean they have to put down another group.  Yes, I understand the irony of that statement.  So there are some good things coming out of some of this stuff, but now I want to address some of the bad things.  First of all, I say that alpha males are the worst advertisement for alpha male mentality because even though some of them have good things to say, the way to market your content in that world is to attract people who want to become alpha.  So instead of focusing on the boring and most important parts of being an alpha, like being a provider or protector, or serving those around you, or leading with love and empathy, but still valuing competition, struggle, hard work, and traditional masculine values, they focus on more marketable aspects of the results that some alphas have…like being surrounded by chicks in bikinis, or owning three supercars, or sitting in a bathtub full of money. And that marketing mistakenly implies that those things are what make you an alpha, not the person you are or how you show up in the world.  Secondly, I don’t like how some of the alpha culture does exactly what I was saying earlier. They demean other groups in order to prop themselves up. Not only is that not the right thing to do, it’s the complete opposite of how a true alpha would act.  The alpha isn’t the loud/obnoxious one in the room. They’re often the ones who act with the most quiet confidence. Their last worry is whether or not you or anyone else thinks they’re an alpha. They have the security and confidence in themselves because they focus on building an impeccable relationship with them first and foremost. They know who they are and they don’t need yours or my validation to prove it to themselves.  If you are an alpha, you don’t feel the need to prove it. You can rest assured that people will know to trust you and rely on you over time because that is the person you are. Not the brand you are pretending to be.

There’s an entire movement now of Alpha Male influencers that have taken the social algorithms by storm and as someone who is an ultra-competitive dude, I’ve like some stuff and not liked some stuff.  So today I’m gonna talk about the things I like and the things that I don’t like.  Let’s start with the positives.  First of all, I like that there are men who are standing up the broader attack on manhood as whole that seems to be happening in our culture.  This has been happening more and more recently where if there’s a man in a tv show or movie, he’s often portrayed as this clumsy, out of touch, mistake factory, and although some of the characters are fantastic, it gets a little old and it teaches people that that’s what men are.  And look, I get it. Men were held in such high regard for all of human history that it makes them the easy target now.  But now we are experiencing a pendulum swing in the opposite direction and it’s becoming hard to find good examples of what it means to be a man.  So I like that there are some men who are saying, this is it. This is the example.  I also like that it is bringing more attention to the conversation from people who have been fighting so hard for their rights for so long and unintentionally shitting on manhood and are now realizing that championing themselves doesn’t mean they have to put down another group.  Yes, I understand the irony of that statement.  So there are some good things coming out of some of this stuff, but now I want to address some of the bad things.  First of all, I say that alpha males are the worst advertisement for alpha male mentality because even though some of them have good things to say, the way to market your content in that world is to attract people who want to become alpha.  So instead of focusing on the boring and most important parts of being an alpha, like being a provider or protector, or serving those around you, or leading with love and empathy, but still valuing competition, struggle, hard work, and traditional masculine values, they focus on more marketable aspects of the results that some alphas have…like being surrounded by chicks in bikinis, or owning three supercars, or sitting in a bathtub full of money. And that marketing mistakenly implies that those things are what make you an alpha, not the person you are or how you show up in the world.  Secondly, I don’t like how some of the alpha culture does exactly what I was saying earlier. They demean other groups in order to prop themselves up. Not only is that not the right thing to do, it’s the complete opposite of how a true alpha would act.  The alpha isn’t the loud/obnoxious one in the room. They’re often the ones who act with the most quiet confidence. Their last worry is whether or not you or anyone else thinks they’re an alpha. They have the security and confidence in themselves because they focus on building an impeccable relationship with them first and foremost. They know who they are and they don’t need yours or my validation to prove it to themselves.  If you are an alpha, you don’t feel the need to prove it. You can rest assured that people will know to trust you and rely on you over time because that is the person you are. Not the brand you are pretending to be.

    ]]>     2002 no     Midweek Mashup | Self-Help for People Who Hate Self-Help (ft. Mark Manson, David Nurse, and Tom Bilyeu) http://www.travischappell.com It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a Midweek Mashup! On today's episodes, you'll hear insights from Mark Manson, David Nurse, and Tom Bilyeu! First, Mark Manson sheds light on his unconventional approach, describing his work as "self-help for people who hate self-help." He boldly criticizes the traditional self-help tropes, denouncing positive thinking, the law of attraction, and other woo-woo energy practices as mere indulgence. Mark's refreshing perspective on the self-help industry stems from his disdain for the hypocritical and narcissistic tendencies prevalent within it. He unveils the facade of self-proclaimed gurus who propagate a lifestyle they themselves fail to embody. Mark shies away from such circles, unwilling to participate in what he sees as a pyramid scheme of narcissism. He delves into the notion of self-improvement devolving into self-obsession and identifies the industry as an epidemic of narcissism. Drawing parallels between self-help and religion, Mark highlights the tendency of individuals to create belief systems around personal development. He explores this concept further in his book "Everything is F*cked," delving into the human inclination to form religions and the ways it intersects with personal growth. Next, David Nurse emphasizes the significance of taking action and shares his findings from extensive surveys on the main reasons people hesitate to take action in their lives. By incorporating inspiring stories of historical figures who changed the world in his new book, Nurse aims to empower readers to overcome their obstacles and embrace risk-taking. Finally, join Tom Bilyeu as he takes a deep dive into powerful quotes and shares his insightful perspective on success, perception, and personal growth. In this thought-provoking video, Tom explores the quote, "There is no greater revenge than unmitigated success," originally attributed to Frank Sinatra. Tom discusses the significance of leveraging both positive and negative emotions to propel oneself forward, emphasizing the role of anger and aggression in acute moments. He explains the science behind endurance and how channeling rage can enhance pain tolerance. Tom warns against relying solely on rage or aggression, highlighting the importance of strategic utilization. Discover how Tom's relentless drive for success fuels his determination to prove doubters wrong, and how he maintains focus amidst exhaustion and adversity. Continuing the exploration of quotes, Tom delves into the statement, "It is impossible to see the world as it is." Drawing from neuroscience, he explains how the brain's deep limbic system colors our perception and assigns meaning to neutral stimuli. Tom highlights the subjective nature of our interpretations, influenced by various factors such as mood, sleep, and personal experiences. He cites Viktor Frankl's profound insights from his time in concentration camps, where choosing empowering beliefs played a crucial role in survival. Learn how reframing perspectives and focusing on empowering narratives can transform our experiences and responses to life's challenges. In the final segment, Tom discusses the quote, "There's always room for the best," and addresses the misconception that one's current skill set defines their future potential. He encourages individuals to embrace their adaptability and the limitless possibilities for growth and improvement. Tom shares examples of remarkable achievements from individuals who defied expectations and surpassed their initial limitations. Discover how adopting a mindset of constant improvement can empower you to overcome obstacles and reach extraordinary heights.

    ]]>     4362 no     Extremity Expands Capacity | Freestyle Friday http://www.travischappell.com Welcome back to another episode of Freestyle Friday on the Travis Makes Friends Podcast. Here is a summary of today's episode: Quote of the Week: "Extremity expands capacity." – Ed Mylett Hot Take: You've been sold a lie: "If you're not upgrading your life, you're failing." Life isn't linear, and I learned this the hard way. In my 20s and early years of marriage, we moved ten times, constantly upgrading and accumulating more. But when my sales team quit, I faced a choice: rebuild or downsize. I chose the latter and rediscovered my true goals. We downsized, focused on my side hustle, and achieved financial success. I realized that constantly upgrading is often undisciplined spending. So, evaluate your financial situation, prioritize investments in yourself, and don't be afraid to downgrade if it aligns with your long-term vision. The Breakdown: Find out how the hell Grant Cardone, a child of immigrants, ex-drug addict, and former car salesman, built a multi-billion dollar real estate portfolio in less than eight years. His key strategy was focusing on attention rather than money. Grant's mission is for eight billion people to know his name, not necessarily like him. Familiarity breeds trust, and by consistently delivering value and fulfilling promises, he gained people's trust over time. The lesson is to prioritize earning attention that can eventually translate into trust, rather than solely focusing on immediate ROI. Q&A: Travis lists the three interviews he considers tentpole episodes of his show, discusses how certain interviews and conversations have challenged his beliefs, talks about the importance of maintaining connections with guests and so much more.

His key strategy was focusing on attention rather than money. Grant's mission is for eight billion people to know his name, not necessarily like him. Familiarity breeds trust, and by consistently delivering value and fulfilling promises, he gained people's trust over time. The lesson is to prioritize earning attention that can eventually translate into trust, rather than solely focusing on immediate ROI. Q&A: Travis lists the three interviews he considers tentpole episodes of his show, discusses how certain interviews and conversations have challenged his beliefs, talks about the importance of maintaining connections with guests and so much more.

    Quote of the Week:

    • "Extremity expands capacity." – Ed Mylett


    Hot Take:

    You've been sold a lie: "If you're not upgrading your life, you're failing."

    Life isn't linear, and I learned this the hard way. In my 20s and early years of marriage, we moved ten times, constantly upgrading and accumulating more. But when my sales team quit, I faced a choice: rebuild or downsize. I chose the latter and rediscovered my true goals. We downsized, focused on my side hustle, and achieved financial success. I realized that constantly upgrading is often undisciplined spending. So, evaluate your financial situation, prioritize investments in yourself, and don't be afraid to downgrade if it aligns with your long-term vision.

We'll discuss how running a podcast can build valuable relationships and reinforce the idea of positive actions leading to positive outcomes. Learn why consistency, focusing on your audience, and perseverance are key to podcasting success, taking cues from figures like Gary Vaynerchuk. Understand how podcasting offers unique rapport-building and unprecedented opportunities to engage with influential people, making it a valuable publicity tool. What Travis explained:  - Why podcasting is not just for sponsorships and profit; it's a flexible platform that allows audiences to consume content while multitasking, fostering a personal connection through voice, and remains a platform with significant growth potential. - How running a podcast allows the host to build valuable relationships by providing a platform for others, while creating value without necessarily expecting anything in return, thereby reinforcing the idea that good actions lead to good outcomes. - Why podcasting success requires consistent content delivery, a focus on who is listening regardless of audience size, and perseverance in the face of low initial traction, as exemplified by figures like Gary Vaynerchuk; unrealistic expectations often hinder progress and nurturing even a single listener can lead to substantial growth. - Podcasting enables unique rapport building and opens up opportunities for personal and professional growth by allowing hosts to engage in meaningful conversations with influential people they may not have access to otherwise, and serving as a valuable publicity tool for the guests.  - Why consistency and quality are paramount, as success often comes to those who persistently produce good content, even in the face of challenges or slow audience growth.

Their "Earn As You Go" software enables millions of budget-conscious consumers to earn additional passive income through daily habits. They are also the creators of Mode Earn Phone (modephone.com), the first-ever smartphone that pays you. What Travis and Dan discussed: How Dan started a company that capitalized on budget-conscious users' habits by creating an "earning operating system," offering rewards for activities on their smartphones, which evolved into a hardware-software integration model aiming to incentivize user activities through revenue-sharing agreements with advertisers. Dan, an entrepreneur with a history of entrepreneurial spirit and business savvy from a young age, built successful ventures by identifying and leveraging arbitrage opportunities, initially with Playboy magazines and Pokémon cards, later with Polo Ralph Lauren jackets, and eventually in the electronics market, exploiting the price difference between U.S. and Brazilian markets. The importance of adaptability and learning from experiences in entrepreneurial endeavors; Dan asserts that while having a vision is crucial, it's equally significant to make adjustments along the way, hire for areas of weakness, and maintain a balance between heads-down work and outward-facing activities. Why networking activities, including attending conferences or masterminds, can open up unforeseen opportunities and lead to a significant return on investment, though it requires intentional effort and can be difficult to balance with focused work time. Living to 120 years, crowdfunding, and much more! Join us for an eye-opening discussion with Dan Novaes, the innovative CEO of Current Mobile, in our latest podcast episode. Listen as Dan shares his entrepreneurial journey from trading Pokémon cards to building a revolutionary tech company that's changing the way we use smartphones.

    ]]>     2600 yes     Midweek Mashup | NBA Legends Talk Succeeding in Business (Ft. John Salley, Shaq, and Matt Barnes) http://www.travischappell.com Today's conversation is less about the three-pointer and more about the three P's – Post-Career, Perspectives, and Profits. Today, we have an exciting midweek mashup episode for you featuring not one, not two, but three phenomenal guests. And there's an intriguing twist – they've all sported a Laker jersey during their illustrious careers. We're welcoming on board the legendary Shaquille O'Neal (@shaq), the multitalented John Salley(@johnsalley), and the versatile Matt Barnes(@matthewkbarnes). Our focus in this episode is a seldom-discussed aspect of being an athlete – the shift from the court to the boardroom. How do you build a career when the cheering crowds fade and the spotlight dims? How do you make money and sustain the same level of success and fame you once had when every day was game day? We will be unraveling the methods behind their continual money-making, their approach to business, and how they choose what ventures to plunge into. You'll gain insights into their relationships, their business mindsets, and the life lessons they've gleaned from switching their identity from superstar athletes to savvy entrepreneurs. John Salley’s main Takeaways: How John utilized his time at the 1989 NBA All-Star game to not only enjoy the experience but to also establish a foundation for their future in media and broadcasting, underscoring the importance of continually learning and adapting in one's career. Why learning and mastering any skill is like training a muscle; through consistent and dedicated practice, it becomes easier and more instinctual over time. Listen to John Salley’s full episode here Shaq’s main takeaway: - Why both who you know and what you know are important in life: Shaq believes that personal connections can lead to business opportunities, while expertise and experience can guide others and contribute to personal success. Listen to Shaq’’s full episode here Matt Barnes’s main takeaways: - Why instilling an entrepreneurial mindset in children from a young age and exposing them to various opportunities can equip them for future success, regardless of whether they pursue traditional careers or carve their own paths. - Matt’s strong focus on social equity, commitment to investing in disruptive tech applications in varied spaces such as gaming and parenting, and how he’s utilizing his networking abilities and resources to create opportunities for minorities and underrepresented communities.

In 2022, Yahoo News named Tori as one of the top 10 mindset coaches in the United States.

She helps dreamers, leaders, and celebrities by expanding their beliefs, clearing any blocks, and getting them into the flow where they can find everything they are looking for. Mitchell has a big calling on her life and wants to help others access their own dream lives. Previously, Mitchell was the poster child for people-pleasing, perfection, and a scarcity mindset, but she shed those layers that no longer served her. She came out publicly as queer, left the Christian faith, and owned the fullness of who she was, even if it meant disappointing important people in her life. This newfound freedom allowed her to go from relying on food stamps to making multiple six figures doing what she loves, which is life coaching and modeling. Through her work as a speaker, writer, and life coach, Mitchell aims to change individual lives and bring people together from all walks of life, equipping them with the tools to go back to their communities and make the world a more beautiful place. She believes that struggling and suffering are not required and that ease and flow are a birthright, and she is passionate about helping others access this abundance and opportunities. Want to connect with Nikole? Visit https://nikolemitchell.com/ What Travis, Jackie, Eric, and Nikole discussed: Nikole's strict religious upbringing and wrestling with desires contrary to the teaching of the church.

    “People are literally not being competitive for opportunities that could better their livelihoods, because of their looks and their name.” - James Chapman

    o She learned early to live in survivor mode; she became the primary breadwinner for the family at that young age. 

     

     

    [06:50- 15:47] Model as her primary foray into the entertainment world

    • She was scouted on the streets, but got in with a famous Russian designer 

    • Eugenia was scouted to go to Paris and her family was very supportive

    • Soon after her father died, she really worked hard to provide for her family; so it was no longer about modeling and entertainment, but about finding work.

    • She was curious as a child, would talk to American and other tourists, and began to question some of the communist history books. She really wanted to go explore the world for herself. 

    • Paris and modeling really became her ticket out

    • Eugenia, always wanting to learn, speaks or somewhat understands NINE different languages! 

    • Why there is always extra food backstage at modeling shows, and why Eugenia would join Russian moms “collecting” it

     

    [15:48 – 19:17]  The Big Move to New York and Rise to the Top

    • Her big moves were to London and New York, because that was where supermodels went. 

    • She moved to New York at 21 with seven years of experience, and street smarts from her time in Japan. 

    • She was scouted by some huge names in the fashion world, started attending business school at nights, investing in stocks, and working on her career and personal growth

    • She was told by her doctors in Russia that she would probably never be able to have a family; but became pregnant and began rethinking her career.

    [19:18 - 21:36]  Broadening Horizons to Acting, Comedy, Big Screen

    • She wanted to create her own brand, and not solely be a model for hire. 

    • Movies and Acting was “an accident!”

    • She had always loved movies, but she met her husband who was a producer (now CEO of Miramax).

    • They moved to Los Angeles, started her family and networking

    • “Which do you enjoy most: modeling, acting, comedy?” “I really love working with creative and talented people.” 


    [21:37 - 24:00 ]  What’s Next for Eugenia Kuzmina

    • She has been doing more comedy during the pandemic on various platforms

    • A show in Vegas at the Wynn sponsored by Zappos??? It’s a possibility… and Travis will be invited! Stay tuned.

    • She has returned from Turkey where she was shooting Guy Ritchie's latest action film: Five Eyes. Costars included Hugh Grant and Jason Statham.

    • She was thankful her role this time wasn’t a Russian Spy!

    • Eugenia is currently practicing and rehearsing for the Fox show: I Can See Your Voice.

    [24:01 – 31:30 ]  How Eugenia Kuzmina views Relationship Building and Networking

     

    • In Hollywood, the right relationships are everything

    o With so much money changing hands, you have to know who to trust

    • Some say Hollywood is only about who you know

    o Eugenia disagrees! What are you bringing to the table?

    • Ultimately, relationship building is about being generous 

    o What can you give? 

    o How can you add value? 

    • Can you be centered? You have to know who you are! 

    o If you connect people first, they will remember you. So give your best!

    • Who you know or what you know?

    o What you know! And are you ready to give your best. 

    o Then, if you are trusted, who you know matters!

    • She was fired from a few films—she shares why, and why she gets it and believes it was the right thing at the time.

    “So many times, people come to LA thinking it’s all about who you know, not what you bring. I really disagree.” – Eugenia Kuzmina

Growing up in a structured environment where your appearance, your music, your profession are monitored, it seemed that Travis was destined for a life of rigidity and conformity. However, Travis didn’t follow the path his community paved for him, he forged his own and became the host of Build Your Network and the founder of Guestio. And that entrepreneurial spirit was uncovered at a young age. As soon as Travis could walk, he was shadowing his father in the world of real estate...

    ]]>     1709 no     483: Nik Wallenda | Facing Your Fears and Walking the Wire https://travischappell.com/483-nik-wallenda-facing-your-fears-and-walking-the-wire Nik Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of the legendary Wallenda family. Known worldwide for his incredible feats upon the high wire and beyond, Nik is the holder of eleven Guinness World Records, among which are the highest four-level eight-person pyramid on the wire, the highest and longest bicycle ride on a wire, and hanging from a helicopter by his teeth. Nik’s career began at the age of two, as he learned to walk the wire while holding his mother’s hand, leading from there to record-breaking performances across the United States and around the world. In 2012, Nik fulfilled his lifelong dream to become the only person to walk directly over the precipice of Niagara Falls, which was broadcast live by ABC. In 2013, he became the first person to walk a wire across the Grand Canyon, an epic event aired live by the Discovery Channel in 178 countries, breaking network rating and social media records in the process. The next Discovery special took place in Chicago, where he walked blindfolded between two skyscrapers in November of 2014. In June of 2019, accompanied by his sister Lijana Wallenda, Nik took it to yet another level, becoming the first person to walk over New York City’s Times Square, an event that was carried live on ABC. Nik’s motto is “never give up”, and he carries this positive message with him in every walk with the purpose of “inspiring people around the world to follow their dreams.”  On this Episode: Nik gives a historical background to his family line and their life in acrobatic high wire acts. Nik shares the blessing and the curse of the pressures that come with a family legacy like his. Travis and Nik discuss the true passion Nik had for performing and how he faced the challenges of going 10 steps forward and 13 steps back. Hear Nik talk about his decision making process and why he enjoys the challenge of “impossible.” Nik talks about the importance of the relationships that have helped his family’s career. Key Takeaways: Your performance should not be about impressing people but rather inspiring people. We are in control of where we allow our mind to go- pluck the seeds of fear! Use negative moments in life to learn and deliver positive messages to others. Tweetable Quotes: “Life is on the wire, and everything else is just waiting.” Nik’s great-grandfather “There is something that clicks in me when someone says ‘It’s impossible’ or ‘It can’t be done’ there is something in my mind that goes ok that’s what I am doing next!” - Nik “I take something negative and counter it with something positive...I have learned that you have to practice it always!” - Nik Nik Wallenda: Order his book, Facing Fear, on his website: http://www.nikwallenda.com (www.nikwallenda.com) You can also connect with Nik there and stay up to date with all of his future events!

Travis and Nik discuss the true passion Nik had for performing and how he faced the challenges of going 10 steps forward and 13 steps back. Hear Nik talk about his decision making process and why he enjoys the challenge of “impossible.” Nik talks about the importance of the relationships that have helped his family’s career. Key Takeaways: Your performance should not be about impressing people but rather inspiring people. We are in control of where we allow our mind to go- pluck the seeds of fear! Use negative moments in life to learn and deliver positive messages to others. Tweetable Quotes: “Life is on the wire, and everything else is just waiting.” Nik’s great-grandfather “There is something that clicks in me when someone says ‘It’s impossible’ or ‘It can’t be done’ there is something in my mind that goes ok that’s what I am doing next!” - Nik “I take something negative and counter it with something positive...I have learned that you have to practice it always!” - Nik Nik Wallenda: Order his book, Facing Fear, on his website: http://www.nikwallenda.com (www.nikwallenda.com) You can also connect with Nik there and stay up to date with all of his future events!

    ]]>     1834 no     475: Rachael Robertson | Lessons from the Long Antarctic Winter https://travischappell.com/475-rachael-robertson-lessons-from-the-long-antarctic-winter Rachael Robertson spent 12 months in the Antarctic, where she led the 58th Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition to Davis Station. She was the second female, (and one of the youngest) to ever lead a team at the Station. She managed a team of 18 people through the long, dark, Antarctic winter and built a resilient and highly successful team based on the foundation that ‘respect trumps harmony’. Since returning to Australia, Rachael has completed her MBA, is an international keynote speaker and has written 2 best-selling books: Leading on the Edge, based on Antarctica; and her latest book, Respect Trumps Harmony, was released in April 2020. On this Episode: Rachael tells of the defining moment in high school that opened her eyes to living life to the fullest. Rachael talks about how being the oldest influenced her leadership ability. Rachael tells Travis about college and why the opportunity in Antarctica caught her eye. Travis and Rachael talk about the process of decision making and the regrets Rachael faced in Antarctica. Rachael describes what the average day looked like in Antarctica in summer months versus the rest of the year. Rachael shares her advice on knowing yourself and keeping a journal. Rachael talks about the “no triangle” policy in Antarctica. Key Takeaways: Recruit for quality: resilience, empathy, and integrity. Have a system in place for making decisions. Learn how to reveal vulnerability even as a leader. When coming off a high in leadership or business, find a new way to challenge yourself. Tweetable Quotes: “There’s a lot of correlation between the amount of responsibility that you have and at what age you are in terms of where you end up and how quickly you get there.” - Travis “There’s not too many decisions that are forever. As long as you keep that front of mind, it gives you the courage then to have a go and make the bold decision because it’s not forever.” - Rachael “Practicing that type of radical honesty really is a learned skill.” - Travis Rachael Robertson: https://Rachaelrobertson.com (Rachaelrobertson.com) LinkedIn- Rachael Robertson Pick up a copy of her book, Respect Trumps Harmony at https://www.rachaelrobertson.com.au/author (https://www.rachaelrobertson.com.au/author) Resources: Follow along with me on Instagram- @travischappell Visit my website for more information on resources and announcements:https://travischappell.com/ ( https://travischappell.com) Join the Facebook group to find community: https://travischappell.com/group (https://travischappell.com/group) Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

He is the face of a YouTube channel that is watched by millions. He hosts a workshop in Toronto where he teaches 25-30 people in person how to create content. But how does he define himself? “Introvert.” Evan explained during https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LNv4K9xd8M (my recent interview) with him in Toronto. “I’m an introvert. I don’t do networking super well. I do it through what I know. For example, Youtube. I’ve helped a lot of the big names in the thought leadership space with their channels. The what I know created the leverage to create the who I know.” “The what I know created the leverage to create the who I know.”He went on to offer several steps for introverts to network successfully. I’ve broken them down for this article. Evan Carmichael’s Networking Strategies for Introverts  #1. SPEAK AT EVENTS“I speak at events. So, I speak and then people come and talk to me after. I’m not going up to them.” #2. WEAR BRANDED GEAR“Whenever I’m at an event, I always wear my branded gear. So, if it’s an entrepreneur event or youth event, people will recognize it. I’ve got ‘Evan Carmichael – Believe’ on the back [of my https://teespring.com/new-believe-hoodie (sweatshirt)] and then the airplane. So it’s like, ‘I’ve seen that somewhere.’ And then people come up and they say, ‘Are you that guy?’ And that creates a conversation.” #3. WEAR AN ITEM THAT DRAWS ATTENTION“If I didn’t [have branded gear], then I would try to have something that would bring attention to myself. People always ask me about my shoes – these Japanese wrap shoes. So doing something so that people will come to me instead of me reaching out. So whether you like cowboy hats or some crazy jersey or chains or whatever, wear something that creates conversation to make it easy for people to find you. “…wear something that creates conversation to make it easy for people to find you.”#4. BE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM“I always go to the middle of the busiest room and I don’t talk to anybody. I pull up my phone and I start doing Instagram video DMs, and what it does is it creates energy. So instead of being at the back of the room on the phone or in my room, I go to the middle of the room and I’ll just start doing Instagram video DMs.” “instead of being at the back of the room on the phone or in my room, I go to the middle of the room “Now, I get a lot of people DM-ing me, but maybe you don’t have a lot of people following. Maybe you have fifty. Awesome. Make a video message for all of your fifty. Say, ‘Hey Jim, thank you so much for following me. I really appreciate it.’ It raises your energy, people see it. As soon as I’m done doing one of the messages, invariably somebody’s going to come up and talk to me afterwards.

    ]]>     1981 no     444: Michael Coles | The $100 Million Cookie Company https://travischappell.com/444-michael-coles-the-100-million-cookie-company After a successful 19-year career in the clothing business, Michael Coles tested his entrepreneurial skills in 1977, when he co-founded Great American Cookie Company with an investment of only $8,000. Shortly after starting the company, he was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident and was told by doctors he would never walk again unaided. As Coles recovered through a self-designed rehabilitation program, he took the company from its first store in Perimeter Mall in Atlanta to hundreds of stores nationwide and, at the same time, set three coast-to-coast bicycling records. Michael Coles at Great American Cookie Company, 1994 When he started the Great American Cookie Company, there were three major cookie companies in business. One had almost 100 stores and the other two had 50 each. When he sold the company in 1998 with sales over $100 million, the Great American Cookie Company was the largest franchisor of cookie stores and the other three companies no longer existed. Coles announces run for the U.S. Senate, 1998 Coles’ commitment to community service led him to run for public office in 1996 as the democratic nominee for the House of Representatives in the Sixth District of Georgia, and in 1998 he won the democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, challenging Senator Paul Coverdell. Donna and Michael Coles when Michael opened NASDAQ in 2007 In 2003, Coles accepted the corporate reins of Caribou Coffee Company as chairman, CEO and president.

Shortly after starting the company, he was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident and was told by doctors he would never walk again unaided. As Coles recovered through a self-designed rehabilitation program, he took the company from its first store in Perimeter Mall in Atlanta to hundreds of stores nationwide and, at the same time, set three coast-to-coast bicycling records. Michael Coles at Great American Cookie Company, 1994 When he started the Great American Cookie Company, there were three major cookie companies in business. One had almost 100 stores and the other two had 50 each. When he sold the company in 1998 with sales over $100 million, the Great American Cookie Company was the largest franchisor of cookie stores and the other three companies no longer existed.

    ]]>     1595 no     440: Ryan Hogan | Hunt A Killer Box Up to 150,000 Subscribers https://travischappell.com/440-ryan-hogan-hunt-a-killer-box-up-to-150-000-subscribers Founded in early 2016, Hunt A Killer started as an annual immersive thriller event at Camp Ramblewood, MD. Participants would work in teams to solve a weekend-long murder mystery. Although the event saw some initial success, co-founders Ryan Hogan and Derrick Smith realized that their dream of revolutionizing the entertainment industry could not come to fruition through a once-a-year event. They took notice of the growing popularity in subscription boxes and saw an opportunity make their dream a reality. In October 2016, they pivoted their business model to deliver captivating, immersive mystery tales right to your doorstep through objects, letters, and clues from a fictional serial killer; hence, the Hunt A Killer Membership was born. Starting over was not easy. During those first few months, Derrick would pack all of the packages himself and ship them out right from his basement. Fortunately, a lot has changed since then. Starting with just 47 members in October 2016, the company has exploded to over 55,000 active members by the end of 2018. Hunt A Killer now employs over 40 people both part time and full time and has partners from all over the world.For Hunt A Killer, the only way is up. The company is still experiencing explosive growth, which has enabled us to launch a new brand in the horror genre, Empty Faces. Over the next few years, we're aiming to become a household name in America and throughout the world. Stay tuned. On This Episode: Hear how Ryan started as an entrepreneur in third grade.

Participants would work in teams to solve a weekend-long murder mystery. Although the event saw some initial success, co-founders Ryan Hogan and Derrick Smith realized that their dream of revolutionizing the entertainment industry could not come to fruition through a once-a-year event. They took notice of the growing popularity in subscription boxes and saw an opportunity make their dream a reality. In October 2016, they pivoted their business model to deliver captivating, immersive mystery tales right to your doorstep through objects, letters, and clues from a fictional serial killer; hence, the Hunt A Killer Membership was born. Starting over was not easy. During those first few months, Derrick would pack all of the packages himself and ship them out right from his basement. Fortunately, a lot has changed since then. Starting with just 47 members in October 2016, the company has exploded to over 55,000 active members by the end of 2018. Hunt A Killer now employs over 40 people both part time and full time and has partners from all over the world.For Hunt A Killer, the only way is up. The company is still experiencing explosive growth, which has enabled us to launch a new brand in the horror genre, Empty Faces. Over the next few years, we're aiming to become a household name in America and throughout the world. Stay tuned. On This Episode: Hear how Ryan started as an entrepreneur in third grade.

His approach includes listening to and understanding their goals and needs. Providing custom-tailored representation. Offering specific guidance to keep their project moving toward their individual goals. He has given critical advice to more than 10,000 inventors, and has obtained nearly 2,000 patents for his clients. He has educated thousands more about the patent process through his seminars, educational videos, and best selling book: The ABA Consumer Guide to Obtaining a Patent. He also works directly with executives to help them make effective decisions to protect their IP, meet their business goals, and leverage the value of what they have already created. Rich regularly attends a wide variety of entrepreneurship and innovation events and actively explores new ways to help his clients achieve their business and personal goals. On This Episode: Rich shares about growing up as a nerdy kid in school back in the 1980’s. Rich discusses studying engineering in college, but then pivoting into law school. Learn the mistakes to avoid and steps to take when scaling a business. Hear an explanation of the differences between patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Key Takeaways: If you don’t know where the clients are going to come from, you don’t know where the revenue is going to come from.

You may have seen my work in Men’s Health, Muscle & Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Men’s Fitness, Fast Company, Huffington Post, LiveStrong, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Shape, Entrepreneur, Details or on ESPN or CBS. You know how group training is the big thing these days? I was doing that in the mid ’90s. The hardcore, underground warehouse gyms that are so popular nowadays? I had one of those back in ’96. Training like an athlete? Flipping tires, dragging sleds, pressing logs, using rings? Been doing that for 20+ years with my clients. Long before it was popular or on TV commercials. What you may not know is that I have struggled with all of the issues I discuss on this site. Over the course of my life, I’ve been physically and mentally weak, skinny, fat, sad, depressed, insecure, painfully shy, socially awkward, crippled with anxiety and indecision, struggled with addiction, and have gone broke on more than one occasion. Overcoming those obstacles took many years and a lot of hard work. I read and listened to http://www.audiobooks.com/jay (over 500 books). I attended countless conferences and workshops. I hired coaches and mentors. I cut out the negative deadbeats in my life. I slowly eliminated one bad habit at a time and replaced it with a new one. What I learned after all that is that Thoreau, Da Vinci, and Bruce Lee were right. Simplicity is the key to health, wealth and happiness. Learning to apply the 80/20 rule to everything and forgetting the rest. Because the reality is that most things don’t matter. It’s just noise and meaningless nonsense that distracts us from living the lives we want. On This Episode: Jason talks about the people who got him hooked on the idea of fitness. Learn how Jason created a unique training experience. Hear how Jason lost everything and took time to rebuild. Travis and Justin discuss how to find the balance between work and fun. Find out how to build genuinely valuable relationships. Key Takeaways: You have to improve on the inside before you can see the external results. You have to build a strong community around you. Learn to pause and be present. Tweetable Quotes: The higher up you go, the less you know. You have to accomplish both short-term and long-term results.

Murrow Award-winning correspondent for ABC News, Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and Nightline. She reported live from Chaing Rai, Thailand, during the rescue of thirteen boys and their soccer coach as the world watched the historic rescue. She traveled to London to cover the Royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and was the first network journalist to report live from the scene when several police officers were massacred in Dallas, Texas in 2016. Her compelling interviews from guests that range from wounded warriors to celebrities including Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and more have gained widespread attention. She has worked in local news in Sacramento, Dallas-Fort Worth, and in Los Angeles as a host, anchor, health and wellness, and general assignment reporter. She remains committed to the goal she declared early on in her journey to “change the face of television,” and is a regular speaker at events providing practical and inspirational wisdom that launches people into the highest and best versions of their lives. Key Takeaways: We have to be careful not to dismiss the messenger because their picture looks different than what we expect.  Relationship is the key for every endeavor. Life is a lot better when you know the language. My main job as an interviewer is to make my guest feel safe. Be kind to all people, universally without prejudice.

In that time frame, he's sold over 2000 properties and has solidified himself as one of the top real estate agents in the country. This past year Jimmy sold the most expensive home in Wasatch Front MLS History at $35 million for a ranch near Oakley, Utah.  Because of his success in real estate, Jimmy went on to build his real estate coaching company which currently coaches hundreds of real estate agents from all across the country. His courses "The Social Realtor" and "100K Agent Blueprint" have helped thousands of agents grow their business. He is also a popular speaker and regularly does trainings from Calgary to Texas and all over the country. Outside of Real Estate, Jimmy created one of the top business podcasts "The Jimmy Rex Show" that to date has been running weekly for just under two years and has been listened to over 10 million times throughout 165 episodes. In 2019 Jimmy released his first book, "The Next Wave of Influence in Real Estate," and it immediately hit the bestseller list on Amazon in multiple categories. Outside of being an author, Jimmy loves to travel and has visited over 60 countries as of 2019. His favorite types of trips are when he gets to go undercover as part of a select group working with The Child Liberation Foundation, helping to find and rescue children all over the world that are being sex trafficked. Jimmy has been on 11 operations and played a role in the rescue of over 100 children. Jimmy is also an active investor, with a portfolio that includes 15 personal investment properties and investments in over a dozen private companies, including Nikola Motors, Stance Socks, and Parachut.co. To best describe Jimmy as a person, turn to his Mission Statement; "The purpose of my life is to share my tremendous love with all of God's children. Bringing happiness to others through my playful soul and by being an example of living an extraordinary life." Episode Highlights: Learn how Jimmy became a scrappy entrepreneur at a very young age. Travis and Jimmy discuss their respective strict religious upbringings. Hear how Jimmy went from struggling for six months to becoming a massively successful real estate agent. 3 Key Points: Put effort into serving and creating memories for others.

Servicing high-net-worth individuals from all walks of life (spanning across media & entertainment, the sports industry, and corporate America), the illustrious serial entrepreneur has been acknowledged as one of the travel industry’s rising stars. With an unparalleled presence in North America, the United Kingdom, and West Africa, Kelvin chartered 100+ private jets in 2019 and shows no sign of taking his foot off the gas on his road to success. His passion for the industry took a new form right before college as he aimed to carve out a career path and enter a market none of his colleagues had had success in. “I didn’t even know what I was doing in the beginning,” Kelvin humbly admits, but he knew he didn’t want to settle for mediocrity – “I wanted to be involved at the highest level!” The luxury brand innovator reached out to a good portion of his like-minded contacts and kept knocking on doors until he secured his first job with a brokerage company within his first year of moving to LA. Five years later, Kelvin is now an esteemed private jet broker and technology executive. That rocky beginning every entrepreneur experiences has now evolved into a global movement for Kelvin, who is now redirecting his initiatives regarding expansion towards his parents’ hometown of Accra, Ghana. Upon starting his career in private aviation, he has embarked on a philanthropic journey to start a mentorship foundation which will provide children with the tools and resources they need to excel academically. By giving others an opportunity to follow in his footsteps, he is creating an unparalleled fellowship that could go on for generations. Kelvin is adamant about showcasing the wonders of the world most millennials do not have an opportunity to experience, while highlighting the beauty of Africa.Throughout his career, he has developed relationships with multiple influencers who are willing to travel with him while raising awareness around Africa’s multitude of resources and tourist attractions.  In fact, he has already discussed ventures in Africa with the likes of Meek Mill, Akon, and Sean Combs. Stay tuned for some of the exciting initiatives Kelvin is set to roll out this year and beyond as he plans to bring awareness to West Africa’s luxury market on an unprecedented scale.

At the end of middle school my family life took a turn from unhealthy household but all living together to everyone going separate ways. My parents were both unemployed and turned to a life that didn't involve us. I went to one grandparents' house & my two younger brothers went to another. From here, I was a decent but stubborn teen who was ready to finish school & create a life for myself.  TRHS Class of 2009: 189 out of 212 Yep, #189. I finished ahead of only 23 kids in my class.  I graduated thanks to the grace of my 12th Grade English teach, Mrs. Looper. All I cared about was graduating & joining the Marine Corp.   I did. September 11th, 2009 rolled around & I graduated from Parris Island as a United States Marine 8 years to the day that made me decide to join the Marine Corps, 9/11/01. I then moved further into public service where I spend 5 years as a Full Time Firefighter & EMT.   As most of you know life as a public servant doesn't come with much income. At just over 30k in salary I spend my days off working on side businesses where I made more than my full time job.   This quickly turned into a passion. I realized that money is not just some material thing I can put in the bank account. It's a tool I can use to serve others. In December 2015 I made my jump from the "safety" of my full time job at the Fire Department & went full time as an entrepreneur. My Chief said, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Another friends said, "You'll be back at a regular job within a year." As if I needed any extra motivation. I dove deep into brand, marketing, relationships & leadership from the start. Within a couple years I had multiple businesses creating over 5 Million in revenue annually. Beyond this & what I'm most proud of. I was able to build one of the best teams around & help dozens of other entrepreneurs build their dream life.   I've helped people go from zero to their first 10k month & I've been there to help established companies add millions in revenue in less than 12 months.  When I left the Fire Department I questioned if I would be as fulfilled as I was when I was helping a patient on a wreck. I can confirm. Helping entrepreneurs reach their goals fills my heart just as much or more. I'm here to help. Always. Just reach out.  Episode Highlights: Hunter and Travis discuss Hunter's time as a Marine and Firefighter. Learn the reason that Hunter left the security of his job as a firefighter. Discover the importance of surrounding yourself with good people. 3 Key Points: Stretch your mind, push your body, and grow your legacy. Don’t let fear of failure prevent you from taking action.

Upon graduation, Eric matriculated at the United States Naval Academy, where he was a four-year varsity letter player on the Division I Lacrosse team. After graduation in 1995, Eric went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps as both an Infantry Officer and Special Operations Officer with 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, 1st Marine Division. As a Platoon Commander within his company, Eric led a team of 20 covert operations specialists on numerous Special Forces-related missions, including long-range reconnaissance patrols, hostage rescues, high-altitude jump exercises, ship takeovers and gas-oil platform takedowns. In 1999, during a routine training mission to prepare for an upcoming deployment to the Persian Gulf, Eric and his platoon were in a helicopter crash that resulted in the death of seven Marines. In response to this tragedy, Eric created the Force Reconnaissance Scholarship Fund to benefit the children of his fallen men. Eric left active duty after eight years of service and received his MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in 2005. He founded The Program in 2008. Eric holds himself to high standards and always strives to do ONE MORE. He has participated in eight Ironman Triathlons, The Canadian Death Race Ultra Marathon, The Eco Challenge, and The American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon. He is also an avid mountaineer and has summited five of the Seven Summits (the highest peaks on each of the seven continents): Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. McKinley, Mt. Aconcagua, Mt. Elbrus, and, most recently, Mt. Everest. Episode Highlights: Eric shares key life lessons learned from his time at the United States Naval Academy and the United States Marine Corps. Travis and Eric have an important dialogue about failure and the opportunity to reframe failure in a positive light. 3 Key Points: Reframe the way you view failure. Build a habit of courage.

After the olympics, he found himself a little bit lost. He found real estate, got his real estate license, and has been pursuing all avenues in the real estate business ever since. He is a real estate partner with a Wall Street Journal Top 100 nationally ranked team called the Gunderman Group. They focus on advocacy, risk management, and exceeding client's personal definitions of success. They are the top team in the East Bay Area, selling over 180 million dollars per year with over 1.5 billion sold in total with an average price point of 1.2 million. He has also began investing in out of state multi-family properties and has begun flipping homes. His podcast, Another Way to Play, brings inspiration to listeners at their own personal crossroads by interviewing top entrepreneurs. He and his wife are actively building their own empire together. Episode Highlights: Hans gives a behind-the-scenes look at the process of training for the olympic rowing team. Hear the story of how Hans dealt with loss at the Olympic games. Travis and Hans discuss how he began pursuing real estate. Discover how podcasting has benefitted Hans' business and his personal development. 3 Key Points: Much of your success depends on how well you work with others.

Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change. Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community. Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress. With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century. Episode Highlights: Chris shares some of the "cardinal sins" of event planning. Discover one of the biggest traps that promoters can fall into. Learn how to create clear guidelines for volunteers that will result in a positive experience for your guests. Hear some of the coolest stories that have happened during previous Podfest events. 3 Key Points: You don’t ever want to over set-up the room. Be honest about your event. Don’t embellish or lie. Have a clearly defined culture for volunteers   Tweetable Quotes: Whatever you can do, that’s the target. – Travis Chappell Always frame everything in the positive, but don’t be delusional about it. – Chris Krimitsos The only thing that unifies everyone [at Podfest] is the medium. – Travis Chappell I want to make sure all of our attendees have an amazing experience so they can achieve great things. – Chris Krimitsos You have to back up your promises, that builds your integrity over time and that builds your reputation. – Chris Krimitsos My number one core value is community and liking the people around me. – Chris Krimitsos Resources Mentioned: http://Podfestexpo.com (Podfestexpo.com) (Use the promo code “travis” for $100 off your admission.)

Episode Highlights:    Trent Shelton How speaking helped Trent get really clear on what he was meant to do. How Trent used networking to kickstart his speaking career. Consistency means you’re reliable, and when you’re reliable you become trustworthy. When you’re consistent you become shareable. Consistent, quality content in front of the right audience makes things happen. Bryan Casella He decided to go to places that were purposeful. He’s made a lot of great relationships meeting at mutual events. Don’t look at networking as work, go to places you actually have interest in. He went to an event and met Josh Altman. A few years later, a mutual friend bumped into him and asked Bryan to speak on the same stage as Josh. He’s constantly forcing himself to get better at public speaking. It’s so important to continuously focus on improving certain skills. You need to reverse engineer what you want your life to look like in a few years and outline steps to get there. Yahya Bakkar What it takes to go from college drop-out to motivational speaker in 1 year. Yayha’s advice for overcoming “imposter syndrome.” How the speed of imperfect action feeds into confidence and success. Why committing to less can grow your self-confidence. Putting yourself out there is the key to growing in who you are. The key to overcoming the fear of public speaking. Tweetable Quotes: "The most important work you can do is offline." – Trent Shelton "I knew that working on communication skills would put me above the rest." – Bryan Casella "Being world class is being so committed to your craft that you become among the best." – Yahya Bakkar Resources Mentioned: BYNInnerCircle.com Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get more free content from Travis at http://threenetworkingsecrets.com/ (threenetworkingsecrets.com) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     4249 no     370: Topic | Building a Foundation for Success with Brad Lea, Dan Fleyshman, and Bedros Keulian https://travischappell.com/370-topic-building-a-foundation-for-success-with-brad-lea-dan-fleyshman-and-bedros-keulian Brad Lea, founder and CEO of LightSpeed VT, Dan Fleyshman, youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history, and Bedros Keulian, owner of one of the fastest gym franchises in the world, give advice to help you build a foundation for success.   Episode Highlights:    Dan Fleyshman People who are mad at the 1% are insane. It’s never been easier to make money – dropshipping, rental properties, etc. The more money you have to work with, it can then replicate and grow. If you upgrade your lifestyle instead of investing, you lose a big investment opportunity. He’s a big proponent of the side hustle and it’s the best time in history to do it. People don’t need as much money anymore to get started. What holds people back from being an entrepreneur? Fear and themselves. Brad Lea "Who" and "what" you know are equally important. If you don’t know the what, it doesn’t matter who you know. If you know everything but you don’t know anybody, then the what you know doesn’t really matter. It’s 50/50 The cliché answer is the “who,” but you need the what. You need to have a pitch, a value proposition, and know your product, otherwise you’re over-valuing relationships. If you already have a good solid “what,” focus on the “who.” Bedros Keulian If you want to move ahead in life you have to “man up” and get out of your comfort zone. Take control of your situation as a human whether you’re woman or a man. Because he hadn’t grown as a leader, his leadership ability became the lid of his success. In 2014 he had a massive anxiety attack that he thought was a heart attack. In 2015 he got a therapist, and he taught him that he was living in anticipation of future pain. He had to man up and have a difficult conversation with his business partner. A therapist will roleplay with you and teach you how to communicate. He had an unhealthy relationship with money, that it was unattainable. For affluent people, money is a means to impact. The number one thing that people can do to change perspective is to get a mentor who is already leading the life that they want and be open-minded. His original mentor turned him on to virtual mentors. Cut out the mediocre people from around you. If you want to have a successful life, you have to be willing to take risks and live in the extreme. Proximity is power. Environmental exposure is important, you start to pick up on their habits. Get around people who are on a different level, and then keep leveling up.   Tweetable Quotes: “Who you know is very important, but you better have your what down." – Brad Lea "Just. Get.

He met someone who believed in him and was a helping hand. He never did anything for him, he just motivated him to do it himself. Just being around this guy for 2-3 weeks he started to look at things differently in the world. He began to formulate and follow a plan. Within a month and a half of talking to this guy every day, he found a job and wasn’t homeless anymore. He started going and out serving and giving back in the community. He’s had business owners who have been around for 8-10 years coming to him for advice. They’ve had success because he thinks of his non-profit as a business, he’s never seen it as a non-profit. Jairek Robbins Sees travel as important to personal transformation. Anyone can travel – even if it's a few blocks away. Get out of your space and help others. Money will not fulfill you. He shares three declarations everyone should tell themselves. We've been trained by society that we need more. PJ Dixon Don’t quit, identify what you truly want to do, living your goals with passion – people become drawn to you because it inspires them to do the same Letting people know that they matter P. J. has advised people to reach out more than once if he doesn’t respond right away The need to be genuine at events and connect – not “what can I get out of this” mentality Who you know vs. What you know: P. J. says it depends on the end result Meet people where they are at/speak their language before raising the bar of expectations Integrity – live your truth, not speaking badly about people, live who you want to be and your mind becomes more still   Tweetable Quotes: "My mentor never did anything for me, he just motivated me to do it myself." – Siloh Moses "Sometimes it takes everything literally being burned to the ground to show us what's really important." – Jairek Robbins “When you let somebody know that they matter, there is nothing that they won’t do for you.” – P.

From marketing to promotions: breaking out of the shell. The challenge of examining your limiting beliefs. How connecting with others leads to real relationships. Elevate events: a transformational experience. The #1 takeaway participants get from Elevate events. Defining values and how to do the work of discovering your values. 3 examples of value definition. Planning and logistics for live events, especially in other countries. Who you know or what you know? A combination: know your craft, but need to know how to build relationships. The Random Round: a quick-hit question and answer session.   3 Key Points: It's critical to be able to express your emotions fully and connect with those around you. Discovering your values is key to defining who you are and the "compass" for your life's direction. Make sure that you approach every day as an opportunity for building relationships and growth.   Tweetable Quotes:   “I didn't want people to see me or reject me, and I was always trying to get perfect.” - Emile Steenveld “When you're allowing someone to be fully seen, they show up differently.” - Emile Steenveld “You can't heal what you don't know is in the background.” - Emile Steenveld "Don't forget your values.  You are what you value." - Emile Steenveld Resources Mentioned: https://www.emilesteenveld.com/ (Emile Steenveld Website) https://www.instagram.com/emilesteenveld/?hl=en (Emile Steenveld on Instagram) Visit Travis’ website athttp://www.buildyournetwork.co/ ( Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook grouphttp://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ ( BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group herehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity ( byn.university).

As a female in the technology field in 1983, she was in a male dominated field. She worked with the Palo Alto research center of Xerox to help the scientists there bring the technologies they were creating to the salesforce. This experience was invaluable in applying technology. She supported fortune 50 companies in solving their largest technology problems. The adoption of technology in the financial sector was practically non-existent. Applying the power of technology to the financial sector to support the common individual is totally overlooked. Her career was filled with great success and great loss that led her to her passion. She created Wealth Generators to share her experience with other entrepreneurs.  Edwin Arroyave More excited now than when he first started the company in 1999. The first 10 years he wasn’t sold on the security sales industry, he did it because the money was great. Early on they started doing 200-250 accounts a month, he trained one guy at a time. He started investing back into the organization and brought in a CFO. He then went from six office employees to 50. He then left the field and focused on the operations. Made less money for a few years. Then they started growing. Even though he took himself out of the field, he’s still very involved with the sales guys. He’s an accessible owner and likes to be well-informed. His investment in his company forced him to be committed to the organization. Keep yourself accountable by forcing yourself to take action on a bigger level.   Tweetable Quotes: “Mastermind relationships compound and benefit you year over year."- Calvin Wayman "The most important things in life are really not associated with the actual money. It's a resource. It's the satisfaction and application of the resource toward things that create a better environment for people." – Annette Raynor "Results give you the confidence." – Edwin Arroyave Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get more free content from Travis at http://threenetworkingsecrets.com/ (threenetworkingsecrets.com) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     2459 no     364: Ronsley Vaz | The Psychology of Entrepreneurship https://travischappell.com/364-ronsley-vaz-the-psychology-of-entrepreneurship Ronsley Vaz is a fellow podcaster who runs the podcast conference "We Are Podcast" and one of the largest audio marketing agencies in the world. He helps clients produce high-quality, marketing-focused audio content. We discuss the psychology of entrepreneurship, and mental health for entrepreneurs, and a variety of topics around podcasting.    Episode Highlights:   What Ronsley has been up to, and current projects. Using what you are passionate about to create content The importance of mental health for entrepreneurs. The effect of social media on mental health. What might surprise you when discussing psychology with entrepreneurs. Navigating the line between "be ok with who you are" and "need to improve yourself." The need to focus on the day to day development vs. the destination. The detriment of the "destination mindset." The key indicators that you need to "take a step back" and re-evaluate. How busyness gets in the way of allowing for our personal needs. Confirmation bias: the best way to lose yourself. The moment Ronsley realized he was doing the right thing. The top skills every podcaster needs to be successful. Empathy: the missing piece of all relationships. Who you know or what you know? Both: what you know can influence who you know, and vice versa. The Random Round: a quick-hit question and answer session.   3 Key Points: Entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned with skills and challenges that require extensive work to create a healthy mental state. Focus your daily activities on what you need to do to be where you want to be. Spend the time necessary to just "be" and listen, so that you don't get lost in the noise of our world.   Tweetable Quotes:   “As entrepreneurs, we have different psychologies and different ways that make the noise inside our heads harder to deal with.” - Ronsley Vaz “The destination is only a result of the work you put in.” - Ronsley Vaz “If you squeeze an orange, you only get orange juice, you don't get apple juice. If you squeeze, what's inside you, comes out.” - Ronsley Vaz "The answers to our questions are already inside us, we've just got to get ourselves out of the way to listen." - Ronsley Vaz "As a podcast host, I think our job is to get someone's story." - Ronsley Vaz Resources Mentioned: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/psychology-of-entrepreneurship/id1479526992 (“The Psychology of Entrepreneurship” Podcast) with Ronsley Vaz http://www.ronsley.au/ (Ronsley Vaz’s Website) https://au.linkedin.com/in/ronsley (Ronsley Vaz on LinkedIn) Visit Travis’ website athttp://www.buildyournetwork.co/ ( Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook grouphttp://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ ( BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group herehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity ( byn.university).

The need to focus on the day to day development vs. the destination. The detriment of the "destination mindset." The key indicators that you need to "take a step back" and re-evaluate. How busyness gets in the way of allowing for our personal needs. Confirmation bias: the best way to lose yourself. The moment Ronsley realized he was doing the right thing. The top skills every podcaster needs to be successful. Empathy: the missing piece of all relationships. Who you know or what you know? Both: what you know can influence who you know, and vice versa.

He's been featured in numerous publications and his website receives millions of visitors each month.  We discuss if entrepreneurs should or shouldn't suck at school, how to truly change your identity, and how long it actually takes to get a book deal.   Episode Highlights:   James' background and journey through school and beyond. Benefits of a smaller community. Combating the need to perform. The Entrepreneurship vs. School debate: a different perspective. Concentric Circles: the best way to change the world. The importance of developing habits of reflection and review. 2 ways for developing habits.  What it took to finally get a book deal, after writing 2 articles a week. The "Incubation period": what it takes to develop habits for the long haul. "Lagging Measures": how to not get restless when developing habits. Signals of progress: balancing expectations with results. Why every person should have a period of reflection and review. The "common denominator" habits for high-level performers. Who you know or what you know? Historically, who you know.  As time goes on, what you know. The Random Round: a quick-hit question and answer session.   3 Key Points: Role modeling behavior is the key to sharing how and why things should change. You have to be able to put ideas into practice to understand what the struggle is really like to implement into daily life.

Most of the team came with him when he moved to the Jordan Harbinger show. If he’d stayed with the old brand he would have been lazily plodding along.

    ]]>     2435 no     358: Max Lugavere | Becoming a NY Times Best Selling Author with No Previous Following https://travischappell.com/358-max-lugavere-becoming-a-ny-times-best-selling-author-with-no-previous-following- Max Lugavere is a filmmaker, health & science journalist, and NY Times bestselling author of Genius Foods. He appears regularly on TV shows like Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, and the Today Show. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Max started from nothing and became a bestselling author, and how he ended up in the health and wellness space.   Episode Highlights: Max was born and raised in Manhattan, and was fortunate enough to be exposed to quite a few different things so he was able to find his passion. Both of Max’s parents grew up rather poor as the children of Jewish immigrants, who started a successful business in the Garment District, so those entrepreneurial characteristics were instilled in him from a young age. He started college as a pre-med student but ended up double majoring in film and psychology. He was highly intelligent and always curious, but struggled with executive function and the skills necessary to be a highly successful student. Max focused on documentary filmmaking and worked with journalists who are now household names. He was always casually researching health and fitness from a young age for his own interest and curiosity, so it became something that people knew to approach him about it with questions. Through his own research, he was getting a highly scientific perspective on health issues like ketogenic diets and other things that were really cutting-edge at the time. When his mom fell ill with a form of dementia, Max decided he wanted to find out what could be done with diet and health to help his mother. People often don’t find motivation about their health until something catastrophic happens, at which point it’s almost too late, but things Max has done are reproducible steps you can take now. His book proposal was rejected by three of the four publishers he pitched to, and was only able to dedicate his time to writing by dramatically cutting his expenses and living a lean life for the year he dedicated to write. His publishers were confident that he was the right storyteller for this content and took a chance on him, but Max knew that publishers are playing a numbers game and there’s no guarantee of a successful book. Max did no fancy marketing, he only used basic social media and leveraged contacts in his network. He knew this book was a once in a lifetime opportunity and was dedicated to investing in it, which for him meant things like hiring a PR firm to help manage incoming requests. Within a week, the book hit #4 on Amazon. After he changed up his Instagram approach, he launched his podcast, The Genius Life, in order to continue having conversations with his followers. Success requires you to foster your relationships, which requires networking. Saying that you don’t like networking is an excuse; networking and building friendships are not two separate activities, they are the same. The Random Round 3 Key Points: You can take the thing you’re naturally curious about and cultivate it into a business. Taking advantage of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities may come with sacrifices too. Networking and building friendships are the same activity. Tweetable Quotes: “I knew that I had to invest energy into Instagram. And when it came to figuring out what strategy was going to work, I basically tried everything. I was not afraid to experiment and to fail and to have a post now and then that had no engagement.” –Max Lugavere “People aren’t willing to suck at something. They’re afraid of the embarrassment or other people’s judgement, but ultimately you have to come to terms with the fact that you are going to suck, and it’s okay. Just keep doing it and you’ll get better.” –Travis Chappell “Life is a collaboration. One of the best things about life is meeting people and then making cool shit with them.” –Max...

If you have to call yourself an influencer, you probably aren’t one. The only way to gain influence with people is to add value. Earning authority is part of it, but it’s not the only thing. Your influence will only rise as far as the value you give back. Use personal development to make yourself a more valuable person to others. Key Points: Offering value is more important than having authority alone. To add more value to others, add more value to yourself.

    ]]>     1010 no     356: Topic | When to Quit Your Job with Mark Asquith, Amy Porterfield, Rylee Meek https://travischappell.com/356-topic-when-to-quit-your-job-with-mark-asquith-amy-porterfield-rylee-meek Mark Asquith, founder of Rebel Base Media; Amy Porterfield, online marketing expert and online course creator; and Rylee Meek, CEO of The Social Dynamic Selling System, motivational speaker, and mentor, share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on when it’s time to quit your job to pursue your passion full-time.   Episode Highlights:  Mark Asquith Mark left the corporate world after spending some time working for his dad who was a self-employed electrician, and that taught him freedom and flexibility. The problem for him was never the money but was that he was always under someone else’s control. Mark began to develop this point of view when he was young and tried to purchase a hot dog, only to discover he didn’t have enough money, and realized it wasn’t in his control whether he had the money and someone else got to decide what he could or couldn’t have because of it. Amy Porterfield Amy took the corporate route from day one out of college and never considered being an entrepreneur, but her dad always said she should find a way to be her own boss. Amy worked for Tony Robbins for over 6 years as a content creator so she was immersed in the idea of being an entrepreneur. Travis thinks people get caught up in the idea of being their own boss and end up quitting their job and losing their main source of income way too soon. Amy ended up creating a business she actually hated because it’s what she had happened to learn working for Tony Robbins, and it’s networking that propelled her into the next phase. She became a liaison between Tony and a man named Mark who ended up founding the now extremely popular website Social Media Examiner, and who ended up becoming her first client. Rylee Meek Rylee began developing an entrepreneurial spirit as soon as he worked his first 8-hour shift at a gas station and realized how little he would earn. Rylee and Travis agree that everyone should do either network marketing, door-to-door sales, or telemarketing at least once to boost your skills. He didn’t go back to school because he felt he could achieve unlimited opportunity with his business. When he spontaneously went to Malaysia to open his business internationally, he had an early mid-life crisis from the culture shock. Rylee was also engaged to be married and began working as an insurance salesman for a middle ground between being an entrepreneur and being part of an existing business. A colleague told him that 85% of the job was negativity and rejection, but you’d do well if you could focus on the positive 15%. Rylee and Travis have tolerated a lot of jobs they weren’t passionate about because they appreciated the time, freedom, and money, but eventually felt they had to follow their passion once they reached a certain level of success and stability. 3 Key Points: Working for yourself means no one else is able to wield control over what you can do or how you feel. Choose to become your own boss at a moment that makes sense for you financially and professionally. Everything you work on, both the successes and failures, accumulate and impact your work today. Tweetable Quotes: “The problem wasn’t the money. The problem was the lack of control and the lack of fulfillment. No matter how much money I earned doing that, someone would always tell me where I needed to be and when.” –Mark Asquith “Putting myself out there literally changed the trajectory of my future.” –Amy Porterfield “You know that saying that everybody should be a waiter once, & I have that same feeling towards network marketing. It’s gotten a bad rep, but at the core I think it’s a brilliant model & really pushes people to do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable.” –Rylee Meek Resources Mentioned:  Mark Asquith:Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     2516 no     355: Craig Ballantyne | How to Create YOUR Perfect Week https://travischappell.com/355-craig-ballantyne-how-to-create-your-perfect-week Craig Ballantyne is the author of the Perfect Day Formula and the new book Unstoppable. He is the founder of multiple 7-figure businesses in fitness and coaching. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Craig shifted from the fitness space to personal development and how to find your perfect mentor.   Episode Highlights: Craig began as a strength coach for hockey in Canada, where he grew up. He knew that to accomplish this goal, he had to get a strength and conditioning certification and a Master's degree. Craig believes the most important factor to his success was his clarity on what he wanted. On the StrengthsFinder test, Craig got Visionary, Futuristic Thinking, Strategy, Implementation and Learning, and he always thought everyone was like that.  If you experience imposter syndrome, you discount and undervalue things that you are naturally good at and believe everyone is good at it. Craig sent his email newsletter to the editor of Men’s Health and they offered to publish it.  Getting a foot in the door at that magazine gave Craig what he calls his “critical credibility.” Craig figured out how to do what he calls introverted networking.  Whenever you are building a relationship with someone, always try to make their life easier and you will lower the resistance to getting a yes.  To build credibility today, you don’t need to be in the most high-status publications, but rather appear on a lot of websites, speak at events, be a guest on a podcast, take pictures with people, etc. in order to manufacture your own celebrity.  Leverage other people’s credibility in order to boost your own.  Through selling ebooks, Craig had his first business seminar and ran his first mastermind in 2007. Once he wasn’t working as a personal trainer anymore and was working for himself, the freedom and flexibility actually led to Craig going out every night and having severe anxiety attacks. Craig realized that what he needed and craved wasn’t more freedom, but more structure. In an effort to build his business up to the level of a business he admired, Early to Rise, Craig ultimately ended up eventually buying that business! Craig’s coach told him in order to achieve what he wanted, he needed to grow his network and get better at public speaking. To find a business coach, you have to identify someone who has achieved what you want to achieve, who shares your morals and ethics, and with whom you have rapport. You have to do the work to verify coaches’ claims. The more affluent the person, the more important referrals become. Not even the best coach will be able to manufacture immediate, magical results; you have to take responsibility and have appropriate expectations. Set realistic expectations and make sure both parties understand them, both with you coach and with people you hire to work for you. You have to build your business around your life, and not your life around your business—put your life obligations on your calendar first as non-negotiables. Craig firmly believes what you know is more important, because if you knew nobody but you knew networking skills, then you have everything you need. The Random Round 3 Key Points: Don’t undervalue your gifts and greatness. Build credibility and success through speed. Do your research on potential coaches before hiring someone. Tweetable Quotes: “If anybody out there is struggling with impostor syndrome, it is because you discount your greatness. And when you step into your greatness, then all of a sudden your perspective around your value to other people can totally change.” –Craig Ballantyne “Success loves speed. Delay kills dreams.” –Craig Ballantyne Resources...

Both Chris and Travis have started their own masterminds because of how much they believe in them. Dave Ruel What you know and who you know are both important but they have to exist within the right context for you for there to be synergy between them. Dave thinks the most annoying thing for a person to do while networking is to try to extract as much information as possible from a person in one meeting as if you’ll never see each other again instead of playing the long game. Get into conversations that have nothing to do with business to build actual relationships with people. For introverts, Dave suggests being strategic with who you meet and the number of people you meet because each interaction will take a lot of effort. The caliber of people at a mastermind will help you be strategic about who you connect with, especially if you’re introverted. Nicholas Bayerle Paying mentors and putting your money where your mouth is gets you value. Mentors can keep you on track as you take big swings and make polarizing, challenging decisions. Create a step by step game plan to utilize the power of groups and community. In Travis’s experience, something like door to door sales is highly secretive, and people think they can’t share their expertise because it’s akin to giving away your secrets, but if you share information in something like a mastermind, everyone benefits. 3 Key Points: When you find the right mastermind fit for you, it will uplevel your network and business. You won’t click or have chemistry with every person you meet, and that’s okay. Finding community is everything. Tweetable Quotes: “Last year’s mastermind, we made our money back in the first half of the first day of the year, directly from one idea that came from that mastermind.” –Chris Harder “When you’re too strategic about relationships, you’re not going to win at relationships. It needs to be organic.” –Dave Ruel “If people don’t hate you, then there’s definitely no one that extremely loves you either.

Dave thinks the most annoying thing for a person to do while networking is to try to extract as much information as possible from a person in one meeting as if you’ll never see each other again instead of playing the long game. Get into conversations that have nothing to do with business to build actual relationships with people. For introverts, Dave suggests being strategic with who you meet and the number of people you meet because each interaction will take a lot of effort. The caliber of people at a mastermind will help you be strategic about who you connect with, especially if you’re introverted. Nicholas Bayerle Paying mentors and putting your money where your mouth is gets you value. Mentors can keep you on track as you take big swings and make polarizing, challenging decisions. Create a step by step game plan to utilize the power of groups and community. In Travis’s experience, something like door to door sales is highly secretive, and people think they can’t share their expertise because it’s akin to giving away your secrets, but if you share information in something like a mastermind, everyone benefits. 3 Key Points: When you find the right mastermind fit for you, it will uplevel your network and business. You won’t click or have chemistry with every person you meet, and that’s okay. Finding community is everything. Tweetable Quotes: “Last year’s mastermind, we made our money back in the first half of the first day of the year, directly from one idea that came from that mastermind.” –Chris Harder “When you’re too strategic about relationships, you’re not going to win at relationships. It needs to be organic.” –Dave Ruel “If people don’t hate you, then there’s definitely no one that extremely loves you either. There has to be a polarizing message in everything you do.” –Nicholas Bayerle Resources Mentioned:  Chris Harder: https://fortheloveofmoney.com/ (Podcast), https://twitter.com/chriswharder (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/chriswharder (Instagram) Dave Ruel: https://daveruel.com/ (Website), http://effic.co/ (Effic) Nicholas Bayerle: http://www.thebilliondollarbody.com/ (Billion Dollar Body), https://nicholasbayerle.com/squeeze-page15897428 (Website), https://twitter.com/nicholasbayerle (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/nicholasbayerle/ (Instagram) Get podcast coaching from Travis at http://www.travischappell.com/apply (www.travischappell.com/apply).  Shop easy, with smartly designed men’s clothes by Mack Weldon at http://www.mackweldon.com/ (www.mackweldon.com) and use promo code “travis” at...

    ]]>     1579 no     353: Darrah Brustein | How to Start a Networking Group with over 30,000 Members https://travischappell.com/353-darrah-brustein-how-to-start-a-networking-group-with-over-30-000-members Darrah Brustein founded two businesses serving over 30,000 people, and a payment processing company that spans 38 states. She is a prolific writer about thought leadership, read by over 1 million people across Forbes, Entrepreneur, and other publications. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out what Darrah learned about business from her first job, how she grew her primary business, and how to amplify your message using meetup groups.   Episode Highlights: Darrah is a twin but went to a different school from her twin brother because she wanted to go to a performing arts magnet school. She developed the capability to fit in wherever she went by being an explorer and being interested in learning what made people tick. Darrah achieved nearly straight A’s in high school but her experience trying to fulfill her father’s definition of success is what led her to learn that you have to define success for yourself. Darrah feels that there is a danger in any extremism in your beliefs and that you should try to find a happy medium between polarities whenever possible. She studied Religion and Italian in college, with the perspective that this was her time to learn for the sake of learning. She spoke to her father’s business colleagues to find out what they look for when they’re hiring, and found that they didn’t care what you studied in school unless it was something highly specialized like accounting or engineering; they preferred someone well-rounded. Darrah was contacted by the owner of a boutique she worked for during college, who connected her to a clothing brand the boutique worked with, who hired her. She made $1 million in sales in all of 10 months, only to realize she had hit a ceiling and there was no room to grow in this role or with the company; shortly after that, the company was sold and everyone lost their jobs. This happened a few more times, where she hit sales goals only to be laid off, so she began reflecting on what she really wanted and knew that it was to start her own business. At this point, her twin brother approached her to start a business and Darrah decided that maybe if she “reverse engineered” her passions and skills, it would lead her to being passionate about the product and service of the business itself. Darrah recommends people focus more on networking than what their first job is. She approaches everything with a curiosity and abundance mindset rather than a desperation mindset. When someone approaches you with a desperation mindset, does it make you want to help them? Probably not. Instead of handing out 100 business cards and hoping it turns into one conversation, try having three meaningful conversations which will become exponentially more. Darrah did a giving challenge where she approached one person a day and simply said she wanted to help them solve a problem or tick something off their to-do list with no strings attached. Darrah makes “reconnect files” on her Google Calendar as reminders to reconnect with people on 30 day rotations to keep her contacts engaged. Don’t leave your networking to chance when you know how important it is; it has to be done on purpose, with intention. Darrah started putting on events as a favor for a friend who was struggling to make friends after college outside of a networking or dating context. Starting this event business was a way for Darrah to elevate her primary business while prioritizing connections over contact info. Build a platform and remain consistent as you build it. Who you know matters to open doors, but what you know matters once you walk through the door. The Random Round 3 Key Points: Defining success for yourself is necessary to discover what you want.

He had barely read anything and hated reading for his entire life before starting to listen to podcasts. Podcasting has grown his network like nothing else because it gives him a reason to connect with anyone he wants. His episode release schedule also holds him accountable to developing his network because he constantly has to provide more interviews with higher and higher level people. It provides Travis with his ideal lifestyle, including freedom of time, location, and finances. He’s recording this episode from a hotel room in Miami because he’s speaking at an event, but he has the freedom to do that. 3 Key Points: Podcasting holds Travis accountable to his own personal development. It has exploded his network beyond what he ever imagined. Launching a podcast has allowed Travis to have the freedom to live the life he’s always wanted.

He still has a regular job in sales, which often surprises people. If you want to change careers or fields, one of the best ways to build evidence for your qualifications is to write. One of the ways Tom made career choices was by interviewing people doing what he wanted to do or thought he wanted to do to help him make informed decisions. He wants to shift into interviewing influencers and celebrities full-time in the next year. His value to an influencer is that he isn’t interested in the gossip, he’s interested in the business. Something else Tom adds is publicity in the most well-regarded business publication in the world, Forbes. People who see his interview with Demi Lovato don’t see the 9 months of work that went into it beforehand. Sales and networking are the same thing, but in networking, you aren’t selling a product, you’re selling yourself. Gareb Shamus ACE Universe was founded to do Comic Cons in a new way, with the aim of building community. Normally, when celebrities are at a Con, it’s a very exclusive and closed experience, but ACE wants these events to be accessible, open, and shareable. Audience demographics of Cons have changed from being 95% 14-15 year old boys to an older, broader demographic because these initial fans stayed with it so the fanbase simply aged up. As fans aged up, content got more mature, then women became part of it, and now there’s the generational aspect of older fans now coming with their kids. Disney’s purchase of Marvel and Star Wars has made fandom more family friendly. Networking is the most important life skill you can have, and it’s something you can always develop and improve upon. Before social media, Gareb had the mindset of making a connection and accessing people however was necessary, and he still does that without limiting himself to, for example, just phone or email. The more you research how you’re connected to someone and you can reach out through a trusted source, the more likely you are to have success. The failure isn’t in not getting a response or in getting no, it’s in not trying in the first place. George Sheppard You can be a great musician but you still need to know the right people to get your music out there. People who are most successful at networking are the people who are genuinely curious about other people. George’s band ended up getting their first single played on Australian radio because their songwriter’s brother’s coworker at a TV station invited them to play on the show. George can never predict what song will be a hit; a song can be good without all the other factors falling into place that makes it a hit. Their connections got them on tour with Justin Bieber and as an opener for Robbie Williams. 3 Key Points: Sales and networking are the same exact thing. Networking is the most important life skill you can cultivate, and it’s never too late to start. You can’t predict or force opportunities. Tweetable Quotes: “It is a long game, but you should always be selling. Always. There’s always a connection to be made, there’s always a coffee to have or a lunch meeting to take or a networking thing to attend.” –Tom Ward “Networking is the most incredible life skill you can have.

The failure isn’t in not getting a response or in getting no, it’s in not trying in the first place. George Sheppard You can be a great musician but you still need to know the right people to get your music out there. People who are most successful at networking are the people who are genuinely curious about other people. George’s band ended up getting their first single played on Australian radio because their songwriter’s brother’s coworker at a TV station invited them to play on the show. George can never predict what song will be a hit; a song can be good without all the other factors falling into place that makes it a hit. Their connections got them on tour with Justin Bieber and as an opener for Robbie Williams. 3 Key Points: Sales and networking are the same exact thing. Networking is the most important life skill you can cultivate, and it’s never too late to start. You can’t predict or force opportunities. Tweetable Quotes: “It is a long game, but you should always be selling. Always. There’s always a connection to be made, there’s always a coffee to have or a lunch meeting to take or a networking thing to attend.” –Tom Ward “Networking is the most incredible life skill you can have. It never stops, it’s never too late to get started, and it follows you everywhere.” –Gareb Shamus “It starts with the song, but then it’s...

    ]]>     3438 no     350: Ryan Michler | How to Start a HIT Podcast https://travischappell.com/350-ryan-michler-how-to-start-a-hit-podcast Ryan Michler is a military veteran and the founder of Order of Man, one of the largest men-focused podcast brands. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Ryan started a hit podcast, the importance of cultivating your skills, and how to motivate your children to do the same.   Episode Highlights: Ryan was in a pre-engineering program and joined the military when he was 17. He studied for financial advising exams while he was in Iraq and worked as a financial and investing advisor for a decade. He didn’t join the military with the intention of making it a career, but just an experience to have. Ryan was raised by a single mom, with some stepdad figures coming in and out of the picture, and his mom has always been his biggest supporter. Ryan wants to be clear that even though his organization is called Order of Man and he works mainly with men, the things they talk about, of course apply to women too. He is keenly aware of the specific testosterone-driven physical energy men have that does biologically make them different from women, and is conscious of how to harness that in a healthy way instead of allowing it to fester into violence. College isn’t useful if you don’t need a degree to do the work you want to do. Ryan suggests experiential learning over college when possible. People tend to look at things as learning versus doing, which discourages lifelong learning. The word entrepreneur is tossed around now and promoted on social media as being able to work from a beach while drinking cocktails, but what that really does is promote laziness. No matter what you do, you have to be a marketer; even dating is like marketing yourself. People often take their reputation with other people more seriously than they take their reputation with themselves; you should care how you present yourself. Ryan began podcasting through recording short audio clips on CDs to use as pitches to potential financial advising clients, and he saw a much higher rate of return with the clients he had given those to. He launched the Order of Man podcast as a way to interview men who inspire him, so he’s essentially getting himself free coaching in exchange for making these interviews publicly available. Nothing about this is luck; Ryan did so much in order to be prepared and to recognize the opportunities he had when they arose. A huge benefit to podcasting for Ryan is the accountability to practice what he preaches. Ryan believes that knowing the right people is how you get the right information. The Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Ryan. 3 Key Points: Learning and doing are not mutually exclusive. Everything you do requires having skills as a marketer. Luck and opportunity are worthless unless you are prepared to take advantage of them when they arise. Tweetable Quotes: “If a man can learn to step up & make himself more capable, he’s naturally going to be a more capable husband & father, he’s going to be engaged in the home, he’ll have emotional intelligence, intellect, the ability to lead & to earn an income.” –Ryan Michler “It’s difficult to face the reality of our own inadequacies, but if you want to grow, that’s exactly what you’ll do.” –Ryan Michler Resources Mentioned:  Order of Man: https://www.orderofman.com/ (Website), https://www.facebook.com/orderofman (Facebook), https://twitter.com/orderofman (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/orderofman/ (Instagram) Ryan Michler: https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A wall charger that doubles as a backup battery pack by Anker saves you from having to carry a phone charger and a battery and a charger for the battery. A meditation app called Calm with noise-cancelling headphones has been a lifesaver for Travis as someone who works from home with two barking dogs and a baby. The soundscapes on Calm are helpful so he doesn’t get distracted by music he loves. Travis uses ClickFunnels to set up landing pages to collect emails and drive revenue. Key Points: These tools are useful for anyone but are especially useful to Travis as an entrepreneur. These help Travis create a good work from home environment and improve his business.

    ]]>     578 no     348: Topic | Becoming a Content King with Ben Hardy, Josh Elledge, and Patrick Bet-David https://travischappell.com/348-topic-becoming-a-content-king-with-ben-hardy-josh-elledge-and-patrick-bet-david Ben Hardy, one of Medium’s top bloggers; Josh Elledge, a PR expert and founder of Up My Influence; and Patrick Bet-David, a YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on how to grow your audience and develop authentic connections with them.   Episode Highlights:  Ben Hardy The “sunk cost bias” says that once you invest money in something you stop seeing it as something you want to do and see it as something you are actively doing, which increases your commitment. Ben invested in himself to develop his skills as a blogger when he decided that’s what he wanted to do. Once he wrote some viral posts, other publications paid him a few hundred dollars to write for them, but Ben saw that as a short-term win for a long-term loss, as he wasn’t seeing consistent revenue or gain from his blog yet. It took writing consistently for over a year and investing $5-10,000 into it before he was able to launch a coaching business that earned him over $20,000 in a week. Just because you’re spending money, doesn’t mean you’re investing the money in the right things; actually use the skills you invest in learning and the relationships you invest in building. Josh Elledge Josh began by developing a system to cut your grocery bill in half and wanted to help people with it, but without money to pay for advertising he knew he had to rely on exposure. His strategy was to reach out to local media asking to develop content and do segments with them, which snowballed into over 2,000 media appearances to date and over $6 million in revenue. This spun off into a huge consultant business with other startups in his area, and he has now helped over 1,000 people become media celebrities. Patrick Bet-David Patrick has grown a business from a startup to over $100 million in value, so his consultancy comes from personal experience. He’s released videos about how to create viral content since creating a video that got over 31 million views in two months. Engagement and people caring about what you do is more important than viewer numbers alone. Patrick’s favorite content creators are the ones that meet his trifecta of criteria: T-E-A, or their own Theories, Experience, and Application. 3 Key Points: To get results, you have to both invest in yourself and apply what you learn. Ways of gaining free exposure are often more effective than paid marketing. Theories only become useful when you have experience applying them in real contexts. Tweetable Quotes: “If you don’t believe you deserve a lot in your life, you’re not gonna have a lot. And how do you upgrade that subconscious belief system? You start investing in yourself.” –Ben Hardy “We’re so grateful for the work that we get to do to help other people shorten the learning curve so that they can get out of that period where they’re just not being recognized for the good work that they’re doing.” –Josh Elledge “If you go out with the intention of only wanting to go viral, you will constantly be disappointed… Impact is more important than virality.” –Patrick Bet-David Resources Mentioned:  Ben Hardy: https://medium.com/@benjaminhardy (Blog), https://benjaminhardy.com/ (Website), https://www.facebook.com/benjaminhardy88/ (Facebook), https://twitter.com/BenjaminPHardy (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/benjamin_hardy_phd/ (Instagram), https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminhardy88/ (Linkedin) Josh Elledge: https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

You start investing in yourself.” –Ben Hardy “We’re so grateful for the work that we get to do to help other people shorten the learning curve so that they can get out of that period where they’re just not being recognized for the good work that they’re doing.” –Josh Elledge “If you go out with the intention of only wanting to go viral, you will constantly be disappointed… Impact is more important than virality.” –Patrick Bet-David Resources Mentioned:  Ben Hardy: https://medium.com/@benjaminhardy (Blog), https://benjaminhardy.com/ (Website), https://www.facebook.com/benjaminhardy88/ (Facebook), https://twitter.com/BenjaminPHardy (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/benjamin_hardy_phd/ (Instagram), https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminhardy88/ (Linkedin) Josh Elledge: https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1724 no     347: Shaan Patel | Shark Tank and Partnering with Mark Cuban https://travischappell.com/347-shaan-patel-shark-tank-and-partnering-with-mark-cuban Shaan Patel is the founder of Prep Expert, an SAT prep company, which he began with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. He attended USC on a full academic scholarship, continued on to get his MD, got an MBA from Yale, and is currently a dermatology resident, and did all this while founding and growing his business Prep Expert and publishing books.   Episode Highlights: Shaan was raised in the motel his parents owned and ran in Las Vegas, surrounded by entrepreneurship. Shaan’s parents took education seriously and put him in magnet schools for math and science to compensate for the poor public schools in Las Vegas. His parents didn’t just pay lip service to the importance of education, but they practiced what they preached and led by example. Through entirely self-directed work, Shaan raised his SAT score from average to perfect, netting him a quarter million dollars in scholarship money. He knew right away that he wanted to write an SAT prep book, but stresses the importance of allowing yourself to enjoy your accomplishments before immediately moving onto the next big project. He pitched his book to every publisher he could think of and got 100 rejections. In response to the rejections, he took all the content he had created and developed it into an SAT prep course, hired web designers and SEO experts, and launched his course. He taught the course himself the first year and raised students’ scores by over 300 points. Shaan realized he couldn’t grow the business while teaching every class, especially while he was in medical school, so he trained other instructors and discovered his course still achieved the same excellent results so he knew he would be able to scale it. To support his efforts to scale up the business, he took a leave of absence from med school to get his MBA. Mc-Graw Hill publishers ended up offering him a book deal after seeing the growth of his company, and the test prep book was #1 on Amazon. He auditioned for Shark Tank while pursuing his MBA, pulling out his test prep book, which gave him the authority and clout he needed to advance to the next round of the show. The chances of getting to pitch in front of the sharks on Shark Tank is 0.02%, which also happens to be the percent chance of getting a perfect SAT score. You only see a couple minutes of the pitch, but he was in front of the sharks for an hour and a half getting grilled. Before Shark Tank, he had done about $1 million in sales; since Shark Tank, he’s done $20 million in sales. Shaan’s customers aren’t high school student, but the parents of the students. The most beneficial aspect wasn’t the funding Mark Cuban gave him, but it’s the connection to Mark Cuban in itself. Shaan and Mark Cuban co-authored a book about entrepreneurship. In addition to his business, Mark Cuban has also improved Shaan’s personal development and self-help brand by promoting his books. Shaan believes who you know is more important than what you know. Shaan is currently in the last year of his dermatology residency. Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Shaan. 3 Key Points: Allow yourself time to enjoy your successes and self-reflect before immediately jumping to the next project. As an entrepreneur, your marketing is your product, so put the most energy into making your product the best it can be. The years of work you put in when you have no network are what grows your circle and leads to opportunities you probably couldn’t have predicted. Tweetable Quotes: “You should always take some time to enjoy and relax. I didn’t immediately go and be like, I’m going to start an SAT prep company as soon as I got that score. I had the idea to write an SAT prep book but I didn’t do that right away because I just worked my ass off.” –Shaan Patel “Your product is your...

    ]]>     2751 no     346: Freestyle Friday | My $100,000 Decision https://travischappell.com/346-freestyle-friday-my-100-000-decision In this episode of Freestyle Friday, with your host Travis Chappell talks about what led him to his decision to spend $100,000 on one thing.   Episode Highlights: Travis recently spent $100,000 on one thing, but it wasn’t on “stuff.” He spent the money on entrance into a Mastermind. He has spent about $170,000 on self-improvement for his business over the last couple of years. Travis asked himself what the alternative would have been had he not joined this Mastermind, and he couldn’t come up with any less expensive alternative. Because analysts predict another recession soon, Travis knows he’ll have to lean on his relationships. Value time over money. It will always take you longer to do something by yourself than it will if you find the right people to build relationships. Once he had his son, Travis realized it was the right time to take a big risk to make his dreams come true so he knows his son will never see him regret it.    3 Key Points: Ask yourself what the alternative would be if you didn’t take a risk you’re considering taking. Always value your time over your money. You should be willing to risk it all and put it all on the line for your goals and dreams.   Tweetable Quotes: “People value money way too much. It’s amazing to me when I talk to people who have these big, grandiose dreams and goals for themselves and they don’t want to buy a $300 course because it’s too much money.” –Travis Chappell “You can always make money back.

Podcasting gave him global reach in a way radio broadcasting did not. He entered the podcasting space in 2012, before it was popular the way it is now. Podcasting was a good fit because of his radio background and because he loves how intimate the medium is. The fastest and most obvious way to monetize podcasting is through advertising. He’s able to make his living entirely from podcasting by mentoring other podcasters and turning it into a coaching business. With a podcast, you’re able to get in front of people for half an hour when they likely wouldn’t give you half an hour of their time if you asked them directly; they see it as using their time in a productive way and gives you a foundation to a relationship with that person. Rob Sperry Some people are givers and some people are “matchers,” who are always seeking to get something back in return for what they give. Being an “ambitious giver” starts with gaining a broader perspective and looking at it like a bank account—if you make regular “deposits” of good will and fewer “withdrawals,” eventually you’ll be able to make a much bigger withdrawal later. Build your proverbial ark before the storm comes. Making a financial investment in something is a motivation to make a greater commitment to that thing. Francesca Moi Francesca started a meetup group in all the major cities in Australia and in four months it grew to 12,000 members. People want a magic solution to getting an audience for their speaking engagements, for example, but the answer is simply to “shut up and build your network.” If you start a meetup, focus it around networking and invite an expert to speak to the group to add value. To monetize meetups, which aren’t inherently revenue-driven, Francesca built trust through her online presence and eventually turned that into a coaching business. She gained momentum for her meetups by announcing it to the current meetup participants in advance, so that by the time it’s announced publicly, there are already attendees. 3 Key Points: Podcasting itself can be leveraged as an unexpected networking tool. Your best insurance policy is your network. You have to get to know your clients in order to effectively market to them and add value to their experience. Tweetable Quotes: “I don’t know that there is a more intimate form our content can take than when we create audio content. And I think when leveraged well, it’s one of the fastest ways to build an audience and one of the fastest ways to build trust with that audience.” –Jeff Brown “I was always taught, go find someone who has what you want and listen to them and do what they tell you to do.” –Rob Sperry “The amount of people that come to me and say I don’t know what my clients want from me, and I say that’s because you haven’t been in front of them, you haven’t hung out with them, you haven’t had a dinner with your clients. Plan a dinner and ask them questions.” –Francesca Moi Resources Mentioned:  https://www.amazon.com.au/Follow-Me-Shutttupp-build-network-ebook/dp/B01DLINAJU (Follow Me!: Shutttupp and build your network) by Francesca Moi Get podcast coaching from Travis at http://www.travischappell.com/apply (www.travischappell.com/apply).  Get your tickets for Travis new live...

Build your proverbial ark before the storm comes. Making a financial investment in something is a motivation to make a greater commitment to that thing. Francesca Moi Francesca started a meetup group in all the major cities in Australia and in four months it grew to 12,000 members. People want a magic solution to getting an audience for their speaking engagements, for example, but the answer is simply to “shut up and build your network.” If you start a meetup, focus it around networking and invite an expert to speak to the group to add value. To monetize meetups, which aren’t inherently revenue-driven, Francesca built trust through her online presence and eventually turned that into a coaching business. She gained momentum for her meetups by announcing it to the current meetup participants in advance, so that by the time it’s announced publicly, there are already attendees. 3 Key Points: Podcasting itself can be leveraged as an unexpected networking tool. Your best insurance policy is your network. You have to get to know your clients in order to effectively market to them and add value to their experience. Tweetable Quotes: “I don’t know that there is a more intimate form our content can take than when we create audio content. And I think when leveraged well, it’s one of the fastest ways to build an audience and one of the fastest ways to build trust with that audience.” –Jeff Brown “I was always taught, go find someone who has what you want and listen to them and do what they tell you to do.” –Rob Sperry “The amount of people that come to me and say I don’t know what my clients want from me, and I say that’s because you haven’t been in front of them, you haven’t hung out with them, you haven’t had a dinner with your clients. Plan a dinner and ask them questions.” –Francesca Moi Resources Mentioned:  https://www.amazon.com.au/Follow-Me-Shutttupp-build-network-ebook/dp/B01DLINAJU (Follow Me!: Shutttupp and build your network) by Francesca Moi Get podcast coaching from Travis at http://www.travischappell.com/apply (www.travischappell.com/apply).  Get your tickets for Travis new live...

    ]]>     2481 no     344: Aaron Hale | Blind AND Deaf?? How to Push Through Obstacles https://travischappell.com/344-aaron-hale-blind-and-deaf-how-to-push-through-obstacles Aaron Hale is a chef and 14-year military veteran who became blind after surviving an explosion in Afghanistan and became deaf a few years later. He founded a chocolate business, E.O.D., with his wife McKayla Hale. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Aaron overcame the odds and created a successful business and expanded his network beyond just selling baked goods to family and friends.   Episode Highlights: Aaron grew up in a fairly artistic family, and his form of artistry was cooking. He joined the military after getting a Business degree because he didn’t have any clear direction and it was the most logical next step for him. His first duty post was in Italy for four years, and in his off-duty hours he really immersed himself in the culture and cuisine. By 2004, the Army needed additional people from the Navy and other branches to volunteer, and Aaron enlisted as part of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team. In doing an IED check while on duty in Afghanistan, a secondary device detonated and damaged his eyes beyond repair, entirely blinding him. His military training is what enabled him to maintain a healthy mindset and kept him from falling down a hole of despair. Aaron decided to use the skills he learned in rehabilitation to occupy his mind and stay fit by mountain climbing and running marathons. Right before he was set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Aaron contracted bacterial meningitis through the cracks in his skull he sustained from the IED explosion, and the infection rendered him completely deaf. Aaron describes the six months he spent completely blind and deaf, before getting his cochlear implants, as incredibly lonely. He decided to make the most of the time by throwing a massive Thanksgiving feast, so he started baking and it became his therapy. From that point, people kept asking him if he could bake for them and started to pay him for it, so it grew into his business named E.O.D., or Extraordinary Delights. Aaron learned from the Stockdale Paradox, which says that a firm grasp on reality is more effective in surviving trauma than blind hope is; Aaron had to accept that he may never hear again and that the cochlear implants might not work in order to get through the experience, rather than putting all his energy into hoping they would. There was more blast damage to his inner ear than a cochlear implant could compensate for, so now everything he hears sounds fully digital because all the sound is coming from the implant’s magnet signal. Aaron used his speaking engagements and climbing adventures to grow his network beyond just selling baked goods to family and friends. Aaron sees who you know and what you know as a yin and yang, as a symbiotic relationship. Aaron sees running his business and becoming a parent as the next challenges for him and as the things that are fulfilling his purpose. The Random Round 3 Key Points: A healthy mindset is what can carry you through any difficult situation. You can find your purpose and direction through continually challenging yourself. Adding value to others’ lives and taking away their pain can diminish your own pain, and that is what running his business has done for Aaron. Tweetable Quotes: “I was finding success through challenging myself. It wasn’t despite struggle, it was because of the struggle. I was growing stronger, more confident, I was growing my network, I was making more friends, and I was adding value to other people’s lives.” –Aaron Hale “Our pain actually diminishes when we take on others’ pain.” –Aaron Hale Resources Mentioned:  https://eodfudge.com/ (www.eodfudge.com/) EOD Fudge https://twitter.com/eodconfections (Twitter) Aaron Hale’sCheck out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     3098 no     341: Freestyle Friday | How to Talk to High Level People https://travischappell.com/341-freestyle-friday-how-to-talk-to-high-level-people In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell shares tips for making the most of a first impression and how to carry that through to build a real relationship.   Episode Highlights: Once you meet a high-level person, you need to make use of that connection and capitalize on the good impression you made. Travis shares how he learned from leaving a bad first impression with a high performer millionaire in his industry. Talk across to people, not up to them. Respect people’s time. Don’t ask the first questions that occur to you. Look for ways to add value for the other person. 3 Key Points: Talk across to people, because talking up to them will subconsciously position you as being at a lower level. You won’t create a relationship with someone after one meeting. All of these tips are ways to make sure you are respecting people’s time, which will make you more memorable. Tweetable Quotes: “If it’s the first through fifth question that came up into your head, it’s probably something that somebody has asked them in the last 24 hours. So maybe just do a little bit of digging, a little bit of research.” –Travis Chappell Resources Mentioned:  Get your tickets for Travis new live event in Vegas at http://www.bynlive.com (www.bynlive.com) Shop easy, with smartly designed men’s clothes by Mack Weldon at http://www.mackweldon.com (www.mackweldon.com) and use promo code “travis” at checkout for 20% off Learn how to network at events at http://www.travischappell.com/yes (www.travischappell.com/yes) Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     791 no     339: Rod Khleif | How to Bounce Back from Losing $50 million https://travischappell.com/339-rod-khleif-how-to-bounce-back-from-losing-50-million Rod Khleif is a multiple business owner and philanthropist who has owned over 2,000 apartment buildings. He has experienced his net worth dropping from $50 million to zero and then rebuilding. Rod shares     Episode Highlights:  Rod’s family immigrated from Holland when he was 6 years old and they didn’t have much money. Rod learned that most of your success comes back to mindset. Build relationships with people who think that what you do is easy when you think it’s hard so you can glean tips from them. If you’re willing to do what other people won’t do, you’ll find success because you’ll be getting results no one else is. Find a moment where you’re energized, awake, and well-hydrated to sit down and write every goal, from the practical to the seemingly insane, that you want to achieve in your lifetime, and who you want to help. Set a timeline for each of those goals, or else it isn’t a goal, and then identify your top goals and write a paragraph about why that goal is absolutely essential and non-negotiable. Also identify the pain points and consequences of not achieving those goals, because we will do more to avoid pain than we will to achieve pleasure. The most successful and happiest people start giving back as soon as possible and shift the focus away from their own egos. To build a brand, you have to add value to people’s lives. By giving away content for free, you learn what resonates with people and therefore what to monetize. Who you know allows you to free up brain space because you don’t have to learn and know everything when you have people you can ask and use as resources. The Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Rod.   3 Key Points: Never achieve a big goal without having more goals lined up for the future. Success is defined by giving back once you achieve. The biggest non-negotiable skills for success are sales, marketing, and curiosity.   Tweetable Quotes:  “There are people that think that what you think is hard is so freaking easy.” –Rod Khleif “As human beings, we will overestimate what we can do in a year, and massively underestimate what we can do in ten years.” –Rod Khleif “Your network is your net worth.” –Rod Khleif Resources Mentioned: Rod Khleif: https://rodkhleif.com/ (Website), https://rodkhleif.com/lifetime-cashflow-podcast/ (Podcast) https://www.5lovelanguages.com/ (The Five Love Languages) https://www.amazon.com/Slight-Edge-Turning-Disciplines-Happiness/dp/1626340463 (The Slight Edge) https://www.amazon.com/Turning-Pro-Inner-Power-Create/dp/1936891034 (Turning Pro) https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776 (The One Thing) by Gary Keller Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity (byn.university).

Consistency is the thing that leads to success. There are no excuses or exceptions to putting in the work. No matter your connections and privileges, you should still face consequences.    3 Key Points: Family is the most important thing, and your actions should reflect this.

    ]]>     834 no     337: Topic | Mindset Shift with David Meltzer, Trent Shelton, and Tim Storey https://travischappell.com/337-topic-mindset-shift-with-david-meltzer-trent-shelton-and-tim-storey David Meltzer, author of Connected to Goodness; Trent Shelton, author of The Greatest You; and life coach Tim Storey share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on "who you know" and "what you know."   Episode Highlights:  David Meltzer If you’re doing something you don’t enjoy, you can still derive purpose out of it in order to cultivate passion for it. If you don’t understand what’s going on, try to understand it and put faith into what you want out of the situation. Trent Shelton Once he realized that motivational speaking was his passion, he reached out to coaches to improve his skills and dove right into video creation. Being consistent results in people trusting you and results in shareability of your content. Consistency also means you will inevitably grow and get better at what you do. Tim Storey Don’t focus so much on making choices and decisions that you close yourself off from discovery. People often know they’re going to be successful, but the question is how you will get there and where you’ll end up, which is where discovery comes in. Some confidence is innate, but the other factors are environmental.   3 Key Points: Learning what you want and finding your passion and purpose will inspire others, who will do the same and inspire more people, creating a chain of impact. Consistency is the most necessary ingredient in whatever you do. Confidence is both innate and cultivated by your environment.   Tweetable Quotes: “It’s what we infuse light into. It’s how we find the light. In fact, if you hate somebody or you disagree with someone, the easiest thing to do is find a light, find something you do like about them, look for the positive side.” –David Meltzer “Consistency means reliable, and when you’re reliable you become trustworthy.” –Trent Shelton “Even if it’s not innate, if you’re shy, if you’re the kid that was bullied, get you around the right environment and we’re gonna get the right results.” –Tim Storey Resources Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Greatest-You-Reality-Release-Negativity/dp/1400207932/ref=sr_1_1?gclid=Cj0KCQjwivbsBRDsARIsADyISJ-6f3OzTaaE3Ff_-GzzVNTjnZ1rwoysTkRis1q0bK3-mpd2WCvc20waAnTWEALw_wcB&hvadid=338594250904&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9067609&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2623479051164033973&hvtargid=aud-646675774026%3Akwd-661269659921&hydadcr=8322_9904443&keywords=trent+shelton+the+greatest+you&qid=1570676043&sr=8-1 (The Greatest You) by Trent Shelton https://www.davemeltzer.com/ (https://www.davemeltzer.com/) https://www.trentshelton.com/home (https://www.trentshelton.com/home) https://www.timstorey.com/ (https://www.timstorey.com/) Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Get your tickets for Travis new live event in Vegas at http://www.bynlive.com/ (www.bynlive.com) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get more free content from Travis at http://threenetworkingsecrets.com/ (threenetworkingsecrets.com) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     2034 no     336: Sam Bakhtiar | How to Build a Nine Figure Fitness Empire From Scratch https://travischappell.com/336-sam-bakhtiar-how-to-build-a-nine-figure-fitness-empire-from-scratch Sam Bakhtiar is the founder of Fitness Concepts, now a multi-million dollar business. He is also a competitive bodybuilder and car enthusiast. Sam shares how he has rebounded from failure, how he commits to his fitness and success, and the importance of persuasion.   Episode Highlights:  You don’t get any off hours when you’re an entrepreneur, but you’re the one in charge and calling the shots. You need to hire someone to hold you accountable and push you when you’re an entrepreneur because you don’t have a boss to do that. It took Sam 10 years to make his first $1 million, and then only 6 months to earn his second million. Early in his business, he actually faced foreclosure and bankruptcy in the face of the 2008 financial crisis. Sam has had to master the skill of delaying gratification. Money is like bodybuilding, in that you can lose gains just as quickly as you make them. His main avenue for investing is real estate, particularly flipping apartments. Sam believes who you know is more important than what you know. Seeking out new people is uncomfortable, and it’s easier to stay behind your computer and do things yourself, so you have to make it a priority. Sam gives everybody a chance, but he doesn’t give unlimited chances, which allows the most impactful people in his circle to stick around. Commitment is freedom and discipline is happiness. Humans are programmed to be negative, so we have to rewire ourselves to be positive in a more automatic, habitual way. All entrepreneurs need to build their skills in copywriting, persuasion, and marketing. Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Sam.   3 Key Points: Giving up something now for something greater later is a skill and a muscle that needs to be developed. If you treat people transactionally, you’ll get transactional results. Persuasion is not a negative thing, it’s necessary for business success.   Tweetable Quotes:  “What’s the best thing that can happen and what’s the worst thing that can happen? If you can live with the worst thing that can happen, then you should go for it.” –Sam Bakhtiar “If something makes your heart happy, as long as you’re not being a dumb investor, you’re not doing dumb things with your money, there’s nothing wrong with that.

    ]]>     3019 no     335: Freestyle Friday | Tips to Maximize Events https://travischappell.com/335-freestyle-friday-tips-to-maximize-events On this Freestyle Friday, Travis talks about the upcoming Build Your Network Live event and ways you can maximize your experience at the event.   Episode Highlights:  Build Your Network Live will prioritize connection over content. Topgolf games during lunch are included. The venue has sunlight, so you won’t be holed up in a windowless conference room for seven hours. There is a low speaker to attendee ratio, allowing you to make connections. VIP tickets are sold out, but general admission is still available and only costs $99. If you are dissatisfied at the end of the event, Travis will refund you double the cost of the ticket. Once you’re registered, look up the speakers and other attendees using Travis’ Facebook group. Prepare a system for follow-ups after the event. Especially if you’re an introvert, stand in a high-traffic area and let people come to you.   Key Points: BYN Live is a different type of event that will allow you to form meaningful connections. You need open body language to attract connections.

    ]]>     976 no     334: Topic | Who or What Part Seven with Matt Manero, Evan Stewart, and Jeff Hoffman https://travischappell.com/334-topic-who-or-what-part-seven-with-matt-manero-evan-stewart-and-jeff-hoffman Matt Manero, author of “You Need More Money”, Evan Stewart, a 25-year-old luxury real estate developer, and Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline.com, share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on "who you know" and "what you know."   Episode Highlights:  Matt Manero It starts with “what” and moves into “who,” because you won’t be on a big “Who’s” radar unless you have excellence in a “what.” Ultimately though, it comes down to who you know. If you want to get out of a conversation with someone who isn’t beneficial to you, just say that it’s been a pleasure talking, and then walk away.   Evan Stewart Who you know is more important. To break into a higher real estate budget level it was all about who he knew and who his clients were referring him to. Education is what you can do to compensate for lack of experience; if you can’t say you have ten years’ experience, you need something else to lean on.   Jeff Hoffman Nobody is great at twelve things, so you need other people in your network to round out your team to accomplish big things. Schedule days where you aren’t in the office doing work, but are out in the world growing your network. People who claim they’re too busy to network could solve the problem of being too busy by networking and finding people to build a team to take things off their plate.   3 Key Points: You need a level of competency in what you do, but you won’t get better at what you do without who you know. Schedule time in your calendar specifically for networking. Use networking to find people whose skills fill in the gaps of what you don’t know.   Tweetable Quotes: “Excellence in what will not allow you to reach your potential unless you have excellence in who.

You need a level of competency in what you do, but you won’t get better at what you do without who you know. 2. Schedule time in your calendar specifically for networking. 3. Use networking to find people whose skills fill in the gaps of what you don’t know. &nbsp; Tweetable Quotes: - “Excellence in what will not allow you to reach your potential unless you have excellence in who.

She dropped out of law school to pursue photography and became a business strategist alongside her photography business. Jasmine shares with us how she grew her business, living in the “good old days,” and how to break into the  big leagues of whatever industry you’re in.   Episode Highlights:  Jasmine’s background growing up poor and being homeschooled as the daughter of immigrants. Jasmine went to college planning on being a writer, but ended up studying business. Jasmine thought she needed permission from others to pursue what she wanted instead of giving herself permission. Jasmine knows her success isn’t contingent upon anyone but herself. Jasmine became one of the top wedding photographers in 2 years. Jasmine’s husband worked for a startup while she was launching her business and they were very cash-strapped. There will always be hard times, obstacles, and struggles, so it benefits you to reframe. Which is more important: who you know or what you know? Networking should shift away from reaching out and move to reaching up by sharing valuable content. Jasmine shares the value of doing more with less. How sharing her process as she learned photography skills made her relatable and gain more clients from it even though she wasn’t a good photographer yet. Remember that everyone who engages with you is taking time out of their day to appreciate you, and it’s important to be thankful for their attention. The Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Jasmine.   3 Key Points: Take radical responsibility for yourself. What you know is only useful if you share it. Shifting your perspective from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.   Tweetable Quotes:  “In the process of chasing the illusion of happiness, we miss the memories that happen today.” –Jasmine Star “It’s not or, it’s and.” –Jasmine Star “I encourage people to do the dumb, the slow, the unscalable, the unsexy, the boring, and the hard.” –Jasmine Star Resources Mentioned: Visit Jasmine’s website at http://www.jasminestar.com/ (www.jasminestar.com)  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity (byn.university).

He shares how to connect with successful people, how he became successful filmmaking, and the people you should never take advice from.   Episode Highlights:  Riley Dayne's early childhood growing up in "farmstrong." His obsession with marketing and movies leading into merging those now. Learning from the disappointment of being told filmmaking wasn't a good career choice. Early years in Venture Capital company. Doing better to foster creativity. How to skip levels in your career path. "Age of the Entrepreneur": The idea and the execution. Keys to being successful in filmmaking. The importance of planning in a massive filmmaking project. Fighting against the scarcity mindset. The keys to reaching out to high-level entrepreneurs. Who you know or what you know? Who you know influences what you know. What can get you into rooms you don't belong in. The Random Round: another profession that would be fun to attempt, who you wish you could spend an hour with sitting on a park bench, how do you like to consume content, a glimpse of your morning routine, go-to pump-up song, what are you not good at.   3 Key Points: You've got to have the passion to make it through the difficult times in your career.

Be Authentic: Remember that we are all humans and connect with them in that way. Never be afraid to talk to someone, no matter how "big" they are.   Chris Voss Both!  Who you know may not matter if you don't know anything. What you know must fit the situation. Why preparation and research are so important to your presentation. Why it's critical to speak to small groups in the same way you address large groups. Building another person's vision.   Ryan Levesque Who you know: It's impossible to amass all the knowledge you need in business. Successful people have "one move."  An Example of finding a mentor: the connection with Dr. Glenn Livingston.   3 Key Points:   Authenticity is the key to building meaningful relationships.

Learn about how Tilman built up his restaurant empire, became the owner of his beloved home basketball team the Houston Rockets, and what you can expect from his book “Shut Up and Listen: Hard Business Truths,” published by HarperCollins.  Episode Highlights:  Where did Tilman’s desires for business come from during his early years?  What was it like to transition from being a teenager to being a young adult?  Was his intention originally to build his restaurant business this big or did he take it moment-to-moment?   How did the transition from his first restaurant to the next?  How did his interest in purchasing the Houston Rockets come into play?  What did the purchase of the Houston Rockets mean to Tilman Fertitta as a local fan?   How confident is Tilman about the Rockets ability for success in the 2019-2020 NBA season? What was Tilman’s path to becoming an author of “Shut Up and Listen?” What does Tilman mean by “be plappy” and “be the bull?” Does he believe that who you know is more important than what you know? What profession other than his own does he think it would be fun to attempt?  If he could talk to someone past or present who would it be, and why?  How does he like to consume content: books, audiobooks, blogs, podcasts, or videos?  What is a book that he would recommend to everyone listening?  What is Tilman’s morning routine like? What is his go-to pump up song?  What is something that he is not very good at?  3 Key Points: Tilman Fertitta is the world’s richest restaurateur.  The “Big Box Theory” of investing in big money-makers like the casino business and the Houston Rockets NBA team has been very beneficial to Tilman Fertitta.  Tilman Fertitta paid $2.2 billion for the Houston Rockets.  Tweetable Quotes: “When you have an entrepreneurial brain, some of it is genetic and it is just the way you are born.” – Tilman Fertitta “You always take everything moment-to-moment and continue to set goals and be very opportunistic. I would say that the biggest thing about being an entrepreneur is being very opportunistic.” – Tilman Fertitta “What gave me the opportunity to buy the Rockets and pay more than anyone had ever paid for a sports franchise in America was the fact that I owned 100% of my company.” – Tilman Fertitta Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What is his go-to pump up song?  What is something that he is not very good at?  3 Key Points: Tilman Fertitta is the world’s richest restaurateur.  The “Big Box Theory” of investing in big money-makers like the casino business and the Houston Rockets NBA team has been very beneficial to Tilman Fertitta.  Tilman Fertitta paid $2.2 billion for the Houston Rockets.  Tweetable Quotes: “When you have an entrepreneurial brain, some of it is genetic and it is just the way you are born.” – Tilman Fertitta “You always take everything moment-to-moment and continue to set goals and be very opportunistic. I would say that the biggest thing about being an entrepreneur is being very opportunistic.” – Tilman Fertitta “What gave me the opportunity to buy the Rockets and pay more than anyone had ever paid for a sports franchise in America was the fact that I owned 100% of my company.” – Tilman Fertitta Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The 30th Birthday that changed everything. Finding the thing that makes you live in happiness: "Do what you love." A practical lesson on finding the thing that fulfills you. The importance of physical health in pursuing your goals. The driving factor for Dean in pursuing Ultra Marathon running. How Ultra Running parallels life. What it took for Dean to prepare for Badwater. The key factors needed for a holistic balance in Ultra Running. Dean's proudest moment: a 10k run? Dean shares the incredible process of writing for the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. Why Run? The steps to get started in running. Why focusing on the "next step" is the key to success. Dean shares his most difficult race. Who you know, or what you know: for material success, who you know, as far as internal gratification, what you know.

Episode Highlights:  Scott Smith Who you know IS what you know. How networking with the right people can save time and money. Overcoming our hard-wiring to connect in meaningful ways. The simple key to making important business connections. Dan Schawbel Who you know, who they know, and who knows you. How "rich" relationships are an arbiter of connections.

He shares about how to get started in anthing and how to do it effectively, why you should join a mastermind, and the value of building confidence.  Episode Highlights:  Yahya, the junior olympic champion in Taekwondo Shifting from fighting to training. What it takes to go from college drop-out to motivational speaker in 1 year. The importance of "environment" in growing the "seed" that you are. Yayha's advice for overcoming "imposter syndrome." How the speed of imperfect action feeds into confidence and success. Why committing to less can grow your self-confidence. Putting yourself out there is the key to growing in who you are. The key to overcoming the fear of public speaking. Getting started: The way to become a better version of who you are. The importance of committing to "the process." The principle of "failing faster." Why investing in mentors and masterminds is critical to your success. The formula for why investing in masterminds is a "no-brainer." Relationship Currency: understanding the value of time vs the value of money. Yahya's Superpower: having the courage to act.

He is one of the "go-to" authorities in the Entrepreneur space. He shares about how to grow a youtube channel from scratch, what made him start his channel, and why did he turn down a 6-figure salary right out of college. Episode Highlights:  5-year-old entrepreneurial Evan: A true background in entrepreneurship. Evan's appreciation for the freedom his parents gave him to pursue his own path. The difference between Economics and Entrepreneurship. Choosing to own his own company vs. making 6 figures at Merrill Lynch. The significance of the French riverside picture. Evan's journey into doing. What it takes to live without fear and just create. What you can learn from Evan "getting his nails done." Self-trust and self-confidence: the keys to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is driven by the things that cause you the most fear. The connection between happiness and serving. Evan's view on delayed gratification: the process outweighs the result. Why money can't be your #1. Evan shares how partnership strategy saved his business and career. The importance of modeling those that have been successful. How speaking to 3 people at a local YMCA spawned a new path. Why it's so important to focus on supporting and helping people. Evan's advice to those that don't currently have the numbers.

Episode Highlights:  John Maxwell The go-to leadership expert in the world with books selling over 30 million copies worldwide. How we can be sure we’re building our relationships the right way. Everyone is either a plus or a minus in relationships, they’re either elevating or detracting. You have to realistically evaluate yourself. Every day John does these things: He values people. Thinks of ways to add value to people. Does things that add value to people. Encourages others to add value to people. Who you know will not help you a lot if you don’t know much. Do you want to have fans or do you want to have friends? Jason Feifer & Jen Miller Jason is the editor and chief of Entrepreneur Magazine. You decide what your environment is and your environment is what makes you who you are. Jason and Jen share their stories of when a connection led to a moment of success. Keep following up with people. It’s important to make people feel heard. When you have a community that supports each other good things happen. Brian McRae A lender in the St. Louis area who has mastered the meetup space. How Brian not just survived but thrived in a down economy. The one thing a down economy can’t take away from you is your relationships. The design of Brian’s event is to change the way business is done in the community in a positive manner. Competition is dead, the future is collaboration. You have to be competent but it’s who you know, not what you know. Brian can trace back most of his business to relationships. Personal development plays a huge role in influencing others. 3 Key Points: Relationships are the foundation of leadership because leadership is influence.

Zvi is also the author of Success is in Your Spere. Zvi talks to your host Travis Chappell about the publishing process, what it was like to have a nine-figure buyout, and how to build relationship capital. Episode Highlights:  The two things that led to the creation of Contactually. Zvi started out being very bad at networking and needed proactive CRM. How Zvi decided to attack the real estate space specifically. The big vision of the Contactually team kept them from focusing early on. In leadership, you have to make really hard decisions and know what to say no to. Figure out what markets to serve and what feature sets to delay. How Zvi and his team convinced people that they needed the Contactually software. How to approach the book writing process from start to finish. The top insights people should take away from Zvi’s book Success is in Your Sphere. How to build strategic relationships without losing the personal touch. Little things can go a long way to help you stand out from the crowd and show you care. Who you know is most important but what you know about who you know is also important. How relationships got Zvi through the recession. How to convince someone else of the power of relationships. Set aside time in your life to focus on important business relationships. How to make sure it’s as easy as possible for you to do what you do. Social media is helpful but it causes us to go a mile wide and an inch deep. The importance of thought leadership for companies. Nowadays it’s pretty easy to get anything you need to be built. Don’t try to build the perfect product initially, try to see if people will use it. 3 Key Points: Focus on one market until you feel you’ve nailed that market and then pivot. When you write a book you have to believe in it, it’s not just a marketing tool. Relationships are your most important asset but you need to be strategic in how you nurture them. Tweetable Quotes: “My relationships are my most important asset.” -Zvi “Books outlive software.” -Zvi “If you step out of the transaction and focus on the personal relationships get built naturally.” -Zvi Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity (byn.university).

He shares the three things that you need to start a podcast. Be sure to stick around for the bonus fourth step for success as well.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the topic of podcasting.  Why do you need a ‘blue ocean’ for your podcast?  What does ‘blue ocean’ mean as it pertains to podcasts?  What type of mic does Travis use for his podcast?  Be into your podcast for the long-term.  You should get a coach when you start a podcast.  3 Key Points: Niches can become too specific to the point that they become limiting.   Use minimal equipment for your podcast.  Having a successful podcast takes patience.  Tweetable Quotes: “You need a blue ocean. A lot of other people will say it is your avatar, it's your ideal listener, it's your niche, whatever name you want to give it.” – Travis Chappell (Microphone) “This setup that you are looking at right here is just an ATR2100 USB from Audio Technica.” – Travis Chappell “The goal is to monetize quickly, and that is true.

Dr. Mark Wade, Brendan Kane, and David Meltzer share their advice for better relationship-building, how not to be that annoying person at industry events, and why you need to be adding value first and foremost.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the accomplishments of Dr. Mark Wade, Brendan Kane, and David Meltzer. Why is networking so important to Dr. Mark Kane?  Relationships should be a value exchange.   What awkward experiences has Mark gone through with other people?  How did Brendan Kane get started in the entertainment industry?  How has making connections led to a bigger career opportunity?  Brendan shares how he connected with Taylor Swift.  Why does Brendan hate the term ‘networking?’ Think before you speak.  David Meltzer shares the two most important questions to ask for relationship-building.  Does David believe that who you know is more important than what you know? Is there a way that rubs David the wrong way when people try to connect with him?  What are the four ways to network?  3 Key Points: Always be relationship building and building upwards beyond your level.  Networking is about providing value to someone, not extracting something out of them.  Put faith in the future instead of putting faith in the past.  Tweetable Quotes: “You are either adding value or you are not.” – Dr. Mark Wade “Everything I do is connections-based. It is how I have had success over the course of my career, forging strong connections and providing value to those connections.” – Brendan Kane “There are two questions to build a relationship, one: starting with ‘how can I be of service?

    ]]>     2067 no     303: Joel Marion Part 2 | $0 to $100 Million in Sales in ONE Year? https://travischappell.com/303-joel-marion-part-2-0-to-100-million-in-sales-in-one-year This is the second part of the interview with Joel Marion, the co-founder and CMO of BioTrust Nutrition, with over $600 million in sales. In this section, Joel Marion shares how he transitioned from teaching in high school into the business that he runs now, how he connected with some of the top marketers in his space to achieve his many magnificent milestones, and how he scaled his supplement company from zero dollars to $100 million in sales in the first full calendar year. Joel also grew his email list from zero to 20 million subscribers, and an additional one up to 3 million subscribers.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the accomplishments of Joel Marion. What are the best practices for building a large email list?  How do you create a good lead magnet?  Scale happens from cracking the ‘viral’ code or by paying for traffic. What is more important: what you know or who you know? Joel Marion got to know the top 20 vendors on ClickBank in his category. Be a likable person and work your way into important people’s lives by adding value. Many members of Joel’s business circle have transitioned into personal friends. What other professions would Joel like to get into?  If he could talk to anyone, dead or alive, who would Joel want to talk to?  How does he like to consume content?  Study what is working.  About 8 years ago, Joel made between $5,000-$6,000 per email send for his supplements with an email list of over $200,000. Does Joel have a morning routine?  Joel says he is good at making a list of things that will move the needle and getting them crossed off.  What is his go-to pump-up songs?  Is there something that Joel feels he is not good at?  3 Key Points: Nobody is signing up for a free newsletter at this point. It is way oversaturated.  Business is all relationships. You even have to build relationships with your customers. The launch of Joel’s health and fitness product led to becoming the largest launch in fitness history at that time, doing $350,000-$450,000. Tweetable Quotes: “Nobody wants to be on another email list. Period. But, if you’ve got a good enough ‘ethical bribe’ on the front and a ‘lead magnet’ then people will still give you their email address.” – Joel Marion “I knew the business that I was getting into, which was healthy and fitness publishing. So, I went to the largest marketplace for health and fitness publishers, which was ClickBank, ClickBank.com.” – Joel Marion “Your knowledge is useless unless you have people to support that.” – Joel Marion Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     3041 no     302: Freestyle Friday | How to Have Clarity in Your Goals https://travischappell.com/302-freestyle-friday-how-to-have-clarity-in-your-goals In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell talks about how to get clarity in your goals. When was the last time you sat down and made sure you were still on track to hit your goals? Learn why it’s important to recalibrate early and often. Episode Highlights:  You have to ask yourself whether your goals are important to you. Take the time to ask yourself four questions: What’s the truth about where you are? Write down your one-year goals. Write down why these goals are important. Write down the capabilities you need in order to achieve your goals. You need to be aware that you may not currently be the person who can achieve your goals. Start on the trajectory you want to be on even if it doesn’t make sense in the here and now. Be honest with yourself when you set your goals. The more clarity you have in your life the more fulfilled you will be. 3 Key Points: Know the truth about where you are with your goals right now. Set goals in terms of looking back on the next year. Times of hardship are the reasons that you should stay on track and keep working toward your goals. Tweetable Quotes: “Too many people are chasing after something that other people think is important.” -Travis “Write down your goals as a year from now looking backward.” -Travis “If your why is strong enough you’ll find out the how.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Visit http://travischappell.com/YouTube (TravisChappell.com/YouTube) and subscribe.

    ]]>     755 no     301: Topic | Adding Value Part 2 with Chris Winfield, Bedros Keuilian, and Billy Gene https://travischappell.com/301-topic-adding-value-part-2-with-chris-winfield-bedros-keuilian-and-billy-gene Chris Winfield, The Super Connector, Bedros Keuilian, founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, and Billy Gene from Billy Gene is Marketing talk to your host Travis Chappell about how to add value to those around you. Episode Highlights:  Chris Winfield Has more connections in the media world that just about anyone. Ask people questions about themselves and get to know them. Rarely there are cases where you won’t be able to help someone. Enthusiasm is really underrated - show up and care. Careers and money aren’t what makes you happy, it’s about the journey, not the circumstance. Bedros Keuilian Founder of $300 Million dollar franchise Fit Body Bootcamp. People stay complacent in mediocrity because they’re not willing to go out and explore. Bedros’ dad was so good at networking that he knew who to bribe and risk it all to get to the U.S. No matter what hardships you’re going through, keep your humor about you. When you don’t have financial resources you have to get resourceful. Billy Gene He didn’t feel like he had something to bring to the table at the beginning. Come to the table and have your thing that you’re an expert at. When you have an audience that’s something you can bring to the table too. Something you can offer is to do your service for free - just do it and hand it to them. The difference between making $45,000 a year and $200,000 a year is being a closer. 3 Key Points: Ask people questions, they like to talk about themselves and you will learn something. Adding value to others without expecting anything in return creates greatness To network with the people you want, you have to bring something to the table. Tweetable Quotes: “I want to get to know people and understand what they’re all about so I know how to help them.” -Chris “I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants that I’ve reached out to and helped.” -Bedros “Don’t be afraid to pay to be around someone, that you can afford them says it all.” -Billy Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Customize the top 5 people in your network and level up your inner circle at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Try ZipRecruiter for free at http://ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Connect with people who are difficult to reach with Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1554 no     300: Joel Marion Part 1 | $0 to $100 Million in Sales in ONE Year? https://travischappell.com/300-joel-marion-part-1-0-to-100-million-in-sales-in-one-year Joel Marion is the co-founder and CMO of BioTrust Nutrition with more than $600 million in sales, 3.5 million customers and 17 million email subscribers. Joel is also the founder of transformation insider. Joel is one of the top email marketers in the world. Joel helped propel BioTrust to be one of the fastest-growing companies in history.  Episode Highlights:  Joel went to a private Christian school and was athletic growing up. The lessons Joel learned in a team atmosphere playing basketball. Being competitive teaches you what’s required to be someone who’s winning more often than losing. There’s a lot of trust that’s built in the team atmosphere. After going away to school he realized all of his best friends were back home. After Joel got introduced to Body 4 Life it changed the way he was working out. How Joel completely changed his personal health and won the Body 4 Life contest. After being published by his friend, Joel got rejected from other fitness magazines and asked for feedback. You have to learn what people want and then give them that. Joel became a teacher for three years while he was getting other projects off the ground. Joel got his first book bought and then it bombed. Why you can’t play the “if” game. Joel wanted to make $20,000 a month and became obsessed with direct response marketing. Joel took his same book that flopped and repackaged it into a course and made almost $500,000 on it. Joel realized that to take his business to the next level he would need to grow his network and pursue a joint venture. Joel started BioTrust and grew to over $100 million in sales in a year. In their first month, they did $4 million with one product funnel. 3 Key Points: When you take uncommon actions you can achieve uncommon results. Sell them what they want, give them what they need. You can scale what you do quickly when you get your entire industry on your team. Tweetable Quotes: “You have to learn what people want and then give them that.” -Joel “You don’t know what you don’t know until you learn it” -Joel “The reason I can have so much success is that I have the whole industry on my side.” -Joel Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity (byn.university).

    ]]>     3036 no     299: Freestyle Friday | Book Review: How to Get a Meeting with Anyone https://travischappell.com/299-freestyle-friday-book-review-how-to-get-a-meeting-with-anyone Your host Travis Chappell reviews one of the best networking books he’s ever read, How to Get a Meeting with Anyone. The book has practical strategy you can implement right away. The book gives away some of the behind the scenes secret stuff. Episode Highlights:  The book is very similar to everything Travis teaches but written more for C-level executives and salesmen looking to get to those execs. Travis is about the newer ways of building relationships. Contact marketing campaigns can have 100% success rates. You need to do your research - send people personalized things that always make it through. Executive assistants are your friends, not your enemies. It’s not favor for favor, you still need to add value with no expectation of return. Key Points: Contact marketing and building relationships can work the same way. Everyone is looking for the short cut, do your research. Make sure that you respect the hierarchy that’s in place and be valuable to the executive assistants. Tweetable Quotes: “Most marketing campaigns have around a 1% success rate, so anything more than that should draw your attention.” -Travis “It’s important to send people something specific to get your foot in the door.” -Travis “It’s not just a numbers game, it’s a quality game.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Visit http://travischappell.com/YouTube (TravisChappell.com/YouTube) and subscribe.

Learn how adding value to people will benefit you and your business in the long run. Episode Highlights:  Brian McRae Brian runs a really large meet up every month in St. Louis and is a mortgage broker. A great question to ask is “tell me how you got started?” to glean wisdom from people. Brian followed up with emails, handwritten notes, and other personal ways to get business in the mortgage world. Before the market correction, Brian focused on building his business and didn’t do sub-prime. Amy Porterfield Amy is a fantastic internet marketer and a master at digital course creation. How an Instagram influencer provided value and ended up on high profile podcasts. Find your own ways to support people, asking them is the lazy way. Jon Gordon Multiple best-selling author and has written 15 books. His clients include the LA Dodgers, Atlanta Falcons, Campell’s Soup, Dell, Southwest Airlines, and more. The thing that creates influence the most, is value. Jon wanted to give up several times because he felt his speakin didn’t have impact. Jon was driven more by love than fear and had the determination to create and add value. Jon still gives free talks today when it feels right. You have to take one core message and go deep and then wide. 3 Key Points: If you can’t get business from someone ask them how they got to where they are. If you go to add value and you don’t get a response, don’t get discouraged, get creative. Value creates influence.

    ]]>     699 no     295: Topic | Entrepreneurship with Brendan Kane, Jill Stanton, and Bedros Keuilian https://travischappell.com/295-topic-entrepreneurship-with-brendan-kane-jill-stanton-and-bedros-keuilian Brendan Kane author of One Million Followers, Jill Stanton from Screw the Nine to Five, and Bedros Keuilian founder of Fit Body Bootcamp and author of Man Up talk to your host Travis Chappell about the entrepreneurial journey. Learn how your environment can affect your success, how to spot a fake online entrepreneur, and how your response to failure can determine your resiliency. Episode Highlights:  Brendan Kane Brendan had the entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. He learned about business by starting his own internet companies. You can be born with an entrepreneurial spirit, but your environment can be a big contributor as well. A key aspect of being an entrepreneur is whether you are okay with failure. Jill Stanton Jill is teaching people to get started in entrepreneurship. How to make a smooth transition from your job to your business. You have to watch out for fake online entrepreneurs. Bedros Keuilian You need humor, resourcefulness, and resiliency. Bedros’ family helped form his attitude and kept him positive.

He worked his way through a computer science degree and then after a few jobs he got put in a sales role. He created Goldmine which was essential Outlook and Salesforce before either existed. Jon was different because he had two entrepreneurial mentors. You can always go get a job with another company, so be brave enough to try something.  When you do have responsibilities it’s harder to jump off the cliff, you have to take into account how things will affect your family. What holds people back is not knowing how to get started. How Jon made Goldmine scalable and they got to $100 million in revenue. Jon learned things in his jobs that he worked his way through college with. Jon learned how customers buy software by working in a computer store and in software sales. You have to tell stories and get other people to tell those stories to spread the gospel of the technology. Service is the new sales. The difference between competition and collaboration. You have to listen to and iterate with your customer base. Jon came out of retirement to unify social and CRM with a new product. Why building software is a lot like writing songs.

How to live for free and be in rental real estate for free. The three things you need to put together a real estate deal (you only need two): knowledge, hustle, and money. 3 Key Points: You do not want to buy a house to live in it’s not an investment, it’s a liability. You do need money to be a real estate investor, but it doesn’t need to be your money. If you want it bad enough you can make it happen no matter what. Tweetable Quotes: “You do not need to buy a house - one door is not an investment, it’s a liability.” -Grant “I only want to buy what pays me every month.” -Grant “If you bring someone a deal with enough margin, lenders will look at the asset and care less about the financials of the borrower.” -Cole “The more tools you have in your toolbox, the bigger deals you can take on in real estate.” -Brandon Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Connect with anyone you want to connect with at http://travischappell.com/masterclass (travischappell.com/masterclass) Try ZipRecruiter for free at http://ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Connect with people who are difficult to reach with Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero)Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play).

    ]]>     1684 no     291: Judge Graham | How to Scale to Nine Figures and Sell https://travischappell.com/291-judge-graham-how-to-scale-to-nine-figures-and-sell Judge Graham a hard-hitting, action-oriented entrepreneur with a successful track record of growing companies and selling them for hundreds of millions of dollars. His companies have won numerous high profile business accolades and he has been featured in multiple media outlets. Judge hosts the Scale and Exit podcast and is an acclaimed author and speaker. Judge talks to your host Travis Chappell about how to scale your business, how to build a sellable company, and why you should be building a personal brand. Episode Highlights:  Judge grew up in an average middle-class family with hardworking parents. He grew up appreciating what things would cost. Surrounding yourself with the right people makes a huge difference. You have to have a heightened sense of urgency to win. You can’t build a real company unless you have people. Judge majored in business at TCU in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Judge started a web design and development company in college. Judge went personally bankrupt in his first business. Recurring revenue is powerful and necessary to business. A lot of people want to be entrepreneurs but they aren’t willing to sacrifice. Judge’s second business was a digital marketing company and then he started growing and flipping companies. What Judge’s next step will be. Why personal branding is important. Many current CEO’s are missing the personal branding element. When you have a personal brand you’re more accessible and people are more interested in you. If you have a true personal brand it’s easier to start doing the next thing. You have to be authentic and you have to choose a side. Believe in growth culture but try not to copy anyone. Who you know is more important - you have to know your stuff but without the network it doesn’t matter. On the internet, you can get access to almost anybody - reach out and be thoughtful. Super successful people like to give.   The Random Round: What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Professional football If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? Jesus How do you like to consume content? Audiobooks Podcasts Judge’s favorite audiobooks: Mastering the Rockefeller Habits Rework Judge’s morning routine: Wake up and pray/meditate Work out Attack what he needs to accomplish Be very mindful of his time What is your go-to pump up song? Something from Eminem What is something you’re not very good at? Not coordinated What is one place online where we can find Judge the most? All his social handles are @judgegraham 3 Key Points: Who you surround yourself is who you become. Personal brand is critically important. If you’re worried about everyone liking you then you won’t have anyone who loves you. Tweetable Quotes: “You can’t win until you know what it feels like to fail.” -Judge “If you want to be successful in any business you need to fully commit so there isn’t a choice, you’ll either win or lose.” -Judge “Your personal brand attracts who it should attract.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     1847 no     288: Trent Shelton | How to Guarantee Success https://travischappell.com/288-trent-shelton-how-to-guarantee-success Trent Shelton is a former NFL wide receiver and is now considered one of the most impactful global speakers of this generation. Trent reaches over 50 million people weekly through social media and non-profits. He travels the world sharing the message of creating lasting change in life and is the author of The Greatest You. Trent speaks to your host Travis Chappell about becoming the greatest possible version of yourself, the one thing that can make you better than everyone else over time, and the ups and downs of Trent’s NFL journey and transition back to normal life. Episode Highlights: Trent had a strong upbringing with supportive parents as guides. He had his mind focused on the NFL since he was six years old. He comes from a middle-class upbringing and learned the value of a dollar. His dad showed him and others the spirit of giving and allowed Trent to understand the importance of living. Trent got a scholarship to go to Baylor and then got drafted as a free agent. People don’t understand the value of time so they neglect to network in college. Trent signed with the Colts out of college and was top five of the rookies. How the emotional rollercoaster of the NFL caused Trent to experience depression. How having his child was a catalyst in making Trent a better man. How speaking helped Trent get really clear on what he was meant to do. How Trent used networking to kickstart his speaking career. Consistency means you’re reliable, and when you’re reliable you become trustworthy. When you’re consistent you become shareable. Consistent, quality content in front of the right audience makes things happen. The Greatest You is inside you - turn your pain into your power. Reality - You’ll never win your war by running from your battles. Release - Get rid of the people, habits, and mindset that don’t serve or grow you.

In this episode of Build Your Network hear from Chris Harder, founder, and host of the hit podcast For the Love of Money, Aubrey Marcus, founder of Onnit and NYT Bestselling author of Own the Day, Own Your Life, and David Meltzer CEO of Sports One Marketing and Host of Entrepreneurs Elevator Pitch and the Playbooks. Most success comes down to confidence and one point or another, your host Travis Chappell talks to today’s guests and gleans valuable confidence building strategies. Episode Highlights: Chris Harder Start with network marketing or door-to-door by practicing on video. You have to get out and do things and be consistent. Do more Instagram stories, be interesting and don’t worry about the feedback. Aubrey Marcus Arrogance is insecurity, it’s covering for something you’re not sure about yourself. Be mindful of challenges and their impact on your psyche. You have to know who you are and let that be enough apart from outside validation. David Meltzer Clarity, balance, and focus bring confidence. Allow things to happen, don’t limit your point of entry and pursue your potential. You have to figure out how to qualify opportunities. The greatest challenge in negotiation is to provide the most value you can. 3 Key Points: The best way to build confidence is consistency. Confidence doesn’t come from how others view you, it’s how you view yourself. Remain open to possibilities and opportunities.

David is the co-founder and CEO of Sports 1 Marketing and S1MEDIA house, two-time number one best selling author, and has been named a top 10 keynote speaker by Forbes and Entrepreneur. Marshall Goldsmith has recognized David as a top 100 business coach and an advisory board member of over 45 companies and charities. He recently invested in Splice and is the Executive Producer and host of Elevator Pitch and host of the top 5 business podcast, The Playbook. David talks to your host about inner fulfillment and how to get there, how to overcome things that have happened in the past between you and other people. Episode Highlights: Dave’s directive really became clear when he was five years old because his dad left. Dave believed money bought happiness because he grew up with very little. He grew up playing football and picked a college where he could play football. He learned that he could sell early and that’s part of why he went to law school. He found a way to weave sports into his first job out of college. All of Dave’s brothers and sisters were doctors and lawyers. Parents don’t tell kids what to do, they show you. You don’t do what you love, you learn to love what you do. How to change your mindset about your job - find the light in it. If things aren’t going the way you expect them to go, pray for someone’s happiness. Just because you’re financially successful doesn’t mean you’re actually successful. When things happen for you, you can have too much and it can make you unhappy. Spirituality and math go into Dave’s decision-making process. If you can create a “habit machine” then you can think about what you want to do and get out of your own way. List out three things in your life that you know are good for you, but you don’t do. If you believe that if you say “thank you” for over 30 days your life will be different and then you do it, your life will change. Getting growth doesn’t start without action, even small actions. We input data into our systems through the five senses, but our data is foggy. It takes one particle of light to cancel out a million particles of darkness. Neural pathways create habits and they’re impacting your DNA. We usually make decisions based on the opinions of others which is how you make huge mistakes. Be really clear and simply about what you want in life. Who you know is more important because it includes what you know. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt?

He found a way to weave sports into his first job out of college. All of Dave’s brothers and sisters were doctors and lawyers. Parents don’t tell kids what to do, they show you. You don’t do what you love, you learn to love what you do. How to change your mindset about your job - find the light in it. If things aren’t going the way you expect them to go, pray for someone’s happiness. Just because you’re financially successful doesn’t mean you’re actually successful. When things happen for you, you can have too much and it can make you unhappy. Spirituality and math go into Dave’s decision-making process. If you can create a “habit machine” then you can think about what you want to do and get out of your own way. List out three things in your life that you know are good for you, but you don’t do. If you believe that if you say “thank you” for over 30 days your life will be different and then you do it, your life will change. Getting growth doesn’t start without action, even small actions. We input data into our systems through the five senses, but our data is foggy. It takes one particle of light to cancel out a million particles of darkness. Neural pathways create habits and they’re impacting your DNA. We usually make decisions based on the opinions of others which is how you make huge mistakes. Be really clear and simply about what you want in life. Who you know is more important because it includes what you know. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Professional athlete If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? Einstein He had the greatest grasp on how relativity and physics mesh into one. How do you like to consume content?

Episode Highlights: Craig Ballantyne Great online marketer and influencer whose content is second to none. Listening is key, try to repeat back a summary of what they said. You have to change your mindset around things you don’t want to do. Who you know is most important because it leads to someone who can teach you what you need to know. Anything you can leverage to change someone's perspective and make you feel comfortable in a situation you should do. Brian McRae Has created a meetup group in St. Louis which has helped build and explode his business. Competence at the core level is results. What you learn is how you can add value to other people. If you want to learn something, teach it. Nicholas Bayerle Has grown a lifestyle fitness brand from nothing into a very successful business. Knowing stuff is great, but it’s not the most valuable thing on the earth. You have to build relationship equity and wisely choose when to withdraw it. Pay to play, show up, utilize Dream 100. Don’t be offendable, assume the best. 3 Key Points: Listening is key and it’s a skill anyone can learn. You need to become the person who people want to learn from. Pay to play and show up. Tweetable Quotes: “Position of strength is an underrated aspect of networking.” -Craig “I can trace back all of my business over the years to two relationships.” -Brian “Since I was 18 years old I’ve taught myself to always go.” -Nicholas Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Check out the Himalaya app of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kWhYMvCEnopvq4dgOxvqBw9rTiF_gNgHK0B9N32Yz-4/edit?usp=sharing (iTunes) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get sustainable shoes for women from https://rothys.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast (rothys.com/travis) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Rylee has produced over $80 million in sales over the past 8 years and is not on a mission to help other entrepreneurs and business owners to reach their goals. Rylee talks to your host Travis Chappell about how to use dinner seminars in your business, why everyone should use some sort of direct sales at one point or another, and why failure is such a huge part of success. Get tactical and practical tips in this episode of the Build Your Network Podcast. Episode Highlights: Rylee grew up in small-town South Dakota and decided at 15 to work and contribute. He started his entrepreneurial journey young and learned about personal development. After feeling like a complete failure in business he went on to get into insurance. He did well in insurance but didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He made a decent amount of money in sales and he knew he wanted to be in health and fitness. He bought a 24 Hour Fitness franchise and found that he was working hard and making little. Rylee started his first company selling home improvement products to make their houses more energy efficient. He realized that his passion wasn’t selling products but pouring into people. Rylee’s new book Food for Thought talks about how to use dinner seminar marketing to grow your business. The book is broken down into six different categories from choosing the restaurant to how to scale. The foundation of why dinner marketing works well is that you’re not there to sell them, you’re there to establish yourself as the authoritative figure in your market. The target profit margin you need to be able to sustain. Everything Rylee has had success with has been through a relationship. Even though Rylee has been very successful he’s still always in a mentorship or a mastermind. You have to have a system in place and operate with intent - don’t just let life happen to you. The Random Round: What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Surgeon If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? Nicola Tesla How do you like to consume content? Podcasts Rylee’s favorite podcasts: Bulletproof with Dave Asprey Rylee’s morning routine: Wake up and sit in a hot tub Sit in sauna Read a little bit He reads, prays, and meditates in the morning What is your go-to pump up song?

Learn the three simple ways to build a stronger relationship with yourself and create a foundation for great relationships with others. Episode Highlights: The #1 way to build self-confidence is to have an impeccable relationship with yourself. How to have an impeccable relationship with yourself: Do what you say you’re going to do. Take your word more seriously. Be consistent. If you stay consistent in something long enough, you’re going to trust yourself to get better at it. If you do the three things above you will begin to see your self-confidence grow exponentially. 3 Key Points: First, you need to become trustworthy by doing what you say you’ll do, then take your word more seriously. If you don’t follow through with people you become someone who doesn’t keep their word in your mind and the mind of others. Consistency allows you to know that you are committed to continually improving.

    ]]>     620 no     280: Topic | Who or What Part 12 with Jay Papasan, Albert Preciado, and David Burkus https://travischappell.com/280-topic-who-or-what-part-12-with-jay-papasan-albert-preciado-and-david-burkus In Part 12 of the Who or What Series, on the only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Jay Papasan, co-author of The One Thing, Albert Preciado from The Mortgage Guys, and David Burkus author of Friend of a Friend explain to your host Travis Chappell whether they believe that who you know or what you know is more important and why. Episode Highlights: Jay Papasan You want a short path to people who do things that are remarkable. Know who you determine wealth for and who are your wealth determiners. If you can’t afford to hire a bunch of mentors, use resources like YouTube to get their insight. Albert Preciado You can’t know anything but just know people, you have to put in the work. Build yourself first so you have something to show when you meet a potential mentor. Albert’s adversity growing up contributed in a large part to his success. Albert focused on systems and people’s strengths and weaknesses to build teams. David Burkus “It’s not what you know it’s who you know” is actually really good news. We need to redefine networking and understand the network that’s already around you. If you have a Facebook account you’re only 2-3 degrees of separation from most people. What a good follow-up system should look like. We need to be intentional about all of our relationships, even the least ones in our network. 3 Key Points: Information is always accessible and you can learn from people’s lives and journeys. Overcoming adversity can be a big contributor to success. We need to be intentional about all of our relationships, even the least ones. Tweetable Quotes: “If you just know a bunch of people and never take the next step you won’t get very far.” -Jay “Adversity is where we learn life’s greatest lessons.” -Travis “We’re better off getting as many possible introductions in the beginning and then narrow down.” -David Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Book Recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776/ref=asc_df_1885167776/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312065696873&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15390730844864179547&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022831&hvtargid=pla-395617944179&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61316180399&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312065696873&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15390730844864179547&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022831&hvtargid=pla-395617944179 (The One Thing) by Jay Papasan & Gary Keller Book Recommendation:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=friend+of+a+friend+by+david+burkus&i=stripbooks&crid=3LGCY3LEEJCQO&sprefix=friend+of+a+friend+by%2Cstripbooks%2C163&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_21 ( Friend of a Friend) by David Burkus Share family stories in an easy and fun way and get $20 off of your order with http://storyworth.com/travis (Storyworth.com/travis) or enter TRAVIS at checkout.

Spend money on learning and invest in experiences. Things depreciate and then you’ve wasted your money. Get better at communication. Do door to door, telemarketing, or network marketing.

Philip helps you turn your mess into your message, find your deepest struggle and turn it into your best story. He works with people all over the world to remove mental roadblocks and see things they aren’t seeing. Philip has worked with the Canadian Olympic team, the Pentagon, and many professional sports teams. In this, the Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Philip talks to your host Travis Chapell about how your pain makes you who you are and allows you to become the best version of yourself, how Philip got his first book deal and takes a new spin on networking. Episode Highlights: At 12 years old it was a time where he was being told what he could and couldn’t do and felt disconnected and lost but couldn’t articulate it. He went to a protestant school but was a Catholic and one class helped him to feel heard and think outside of what he was told. When Philip was 14 years old he went to NYC on his own and it was the freest he’d ever felt. The most courageous part of any change is beginning to question the current reality. After high school, he got a job and was mostly selling consumer products in Ireland. Anything other than the status quo is better if the status quo isn’t working for you. You have to be willing to stop and ask really simple questions. Judgment is the greatest block and inhibitor to growth. The number one challenge everyone faces in the world is self-worth. Where the internal disgust with ourselves comes from. Modelling has some upside but a massive dark side. Every person on earth has done things they’re ashamed about. The thing that you bring to the world is the thing you almost didn’t have yourself. You need to be in touch with the cost of doing something every day that doesn’t bring you joy. If you go and do a job that you don’t love, you have t to manage your expectations. When people do something they don’t love they put undue expectations on the other areas of their life. We’re not practising our gifts because we can’t monetize them. The practice that helps Philip gain clarity: Stop consuming information for a period of time. Create space for yourself. If you chase growth and insights and passion it often runs away from you. There are so many people living in their heads it’s becoming an epidemic. How to cultivate genuine relationships with people better. The most important relationship we have on earth is the one with ourselves. If you feel you need someone on this earth in order to be happy, that’s a flaw. People compartmentalize networking and relationships and there shouldn’t be a difference. If networking doesn’t look the same as relationship building, you’re in trouble. Scarcity is more about you than the world.

    ]]>     634 no     274: Who or What Part 10 with Michael O'Neal, Drew Manning, and Omar Zenhom https://travischappell.com/274-who-or-what-part-10-with-michael-oneal-drew-manning-and-omar-zenhom In Part 10 of the Who or What Series, on the only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Michael O’Neil from The SoloPreneur Hour, Drew Manning from Fit to Fat to Fit, and Omar Zenhom from the $100 MBA Show talk to your host Travis Chappell about whether they believe who or what is more important, and why. Episode Highlights: Michael O’Neil Everything Michael does is done with a purpose. Michael attributes 100% of his success to his podcast, it has helped him connect with people. You can know people but if you can’t back it up, it’s a problem. The most important things to do to network at a conference: Walk into every conference with two pressing questions you have about your business. Have a six-work intro. Drew Manning Started as a personal trainer and couldn’t understand why his clients wouldn’t just workout. Drew gained a lot of weight on purpose and then lost it again to better understand his clients mindsets. How Drew leveraged his story to get on major networks, blogs, and big outlets. You never know where networking is going to land yu and help you connect the dots. Who you know is more important because knowledge can be obtained later on. Nobody cares what you know unless they know that you care. Omar Zenhom Founder of Webinar Ninja and the $100 MBA Show. You don’t know what will happen in life but who you know will help you. People are more willing to help a friend out than a stranger. There shouldn’t be a difference between networking and making friends.

    ]]>     1797 no     273 Chris Voss | Master Negotiations https://travischappell.com/273-chris-voss-master-negotiations Chris Voss is a 24 year veteran of the FBI and retired as the lead international kidnapping negotiator there. Chris is a bestselling author and has a company called Black Swan that specializes in business negotiations drawing on his high-stakes hostage negotiation experience. In this, the latest episode of The Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Chris talks to your host Travis Chappell about what to do when someone is haggling over a price with you, the most important tool that’s in a negotiators toolbox, and the only people that you should ever take advice from. Episode Highlights: Chris grew up in small-town mid-west and worked for his dad with mid-western blue-collar values. His father never asked anyone to do anything he wouldn’t do himself, but nothing was above him. Chris was expected to go to college, both his mom and dad went and he was expected to be on his own after. Chris knew from an early age that he wanted to be in law enforcement. After college Chris joined the law enforcement but his dad urged him to do federal law enforcement. Chris started out in the FBI and they uprooted him and sent him to Pittsburgh, then New York. He got onto the hostage negotiation team in New York. He had a knack for hostage negotiation but he wanted to be on the SWAT team. He was initially rejected from the hostage negotiation team for being unqualified. There’s no shortage of people who will get good advice and then never follow it. Criticism is the most cowardly form of advice. Working at the suicide hotline gave Chris some of the best experience and training about how to establish credibility, etc. After a year and a half of volunteering on the hotline he started training at Quantico. Chris talks about how his first real hostage negotiation went. There’s never one fatal error, a lot of things lead up to the moment when things go bad. If you do everything you know to the best of your ability and it’s still not enough, you need to learn more. The practices gratification Chris’s team had when working with the team at Harvard. Empathy is not sympathy or compassion, but to use it is a sympathetic thing to do. If you want influence with somebody let them know that you get what they just said. Most people’s motivations are hidden or blind, but when you call them out it bonds you together and gives you influence. The go-to label that will work for you in many types of circumstances. The importance of tonality and body language. How to use calibrated questions and tonality to get the upper hand in business negotiations. There’s great power in deference - ask “how am I supposed to do that?” People love to be asked how to do something and if forces them to take a look at your situation. How to get out of a price haggling situation. Why what you know is more important than who you know but the combination of both is even more important. The Random Round: What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? X-Games or extreme sports If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? His father, to know his point of view of what’s important now that he’s passed away. How do you like to consume content? Reading real books What’s one of Chris’s favorite books? Anything by Steven Kotler Chris’s morning routine: Do gratitude and “get his mind right” What is your go-to pump up song? U2 Elevation What is something you’re not very good at? Organization, extended focus What is one place online where we can find Chris the most? Firefox browser news articles which are curated and out of the mainstream...

    ]]>     775 no     271: Who or What Part 9 with Hither Mann, Joel Brown, and Dan Fleyshman https://travischappell.com/271-who-or-what-part-9-with-hither-mann-joel-brown-and-dan-fleyshman In Part 9 of the Who or What Series, on the only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Hither Mann from Fortune Academy, Joel Brown from AddictedtoSuccess.com, and Dan Fleyshman, the youngest founder of a public company in history talk to your host Travis Chappell about the ongoing debate of whether who you know or what you know is more important, and why. Episode Highlights: Hither Mann Hither is a multi-million dollar real estate and forex investor out of London. Networking is about building relationships - you’re only annoying if you’re not genuine. People treat networking like it’s door to door sales, but that’s not how relationship building is. Always know what you want before you enter, know the end goal first. Joel Brown The first level of learning is knowledge, the second it understanding, the third is wisdom which is gained through application. Joel would double down on great relationships if he had to choose one, but growing his knowledge was also critically important. There’s a difference between an informational coach and a transformational coach. Dan Fleyshman Speaker, angel investor, and youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history. Who you know is most important, and it’s not even close. You don’t need to know what what every expert knows, you need to know the people who can leverage their knowledge. Dan talks about a time when a connection led to a moment of success. The number one most important practice that has allowed Dan to build relationships. Dan adds value on a massive scale and when he does ask for something he’s very direct. 3 Key Points: Don’t focus on the money, focus on the relationship. To learn you need knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. It’s not what you know, it’s what they know - you skip the line by knowing people who have already done what you want to do. Tweetable Quotes: “The basis of your success is who you know.” -Hither “You get paid based off of how much conflict you can face and break through.” -Joel “I fast-forwarded 27 years of experience by knowing the people who already know it all.” -Dan “People can’t buy access, cool, or information.” -Dan Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Go to Rothys.com/Travis to check out comfortable, sustainable shoes.

People treat networking like it’s door to door sales, but that’s not how relationship building is. Always know what you want before you enter, know the end goal first. Joel Brown The first level of learning is knowledge, the second it understanding, the third is wisdom which is gained through application. Joel would double down on great relationships if he had to choose one, but growing his knowledge was also critically important. There’s a difference between an informational coach and a transformational coach. Dan Fleyshman Speaker, angel investor, and youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history. Who you know is most important, and it’s not even close. You don’t need to know what what every expert knows, you need to know the people who can leverage their knowledge. Dan talks about a time when a connection led to a moment of success. The number one most important practice that has allowed Dan to build relationships. Dan adds value on a massive scale and when he does ask for something he’s very direct. 3 Key Points: Don’t focus on the money, focus on the relationship. To learn you need knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. It’s not what you know, it’s what they know - you skip the line by knowing people who have already done what you want to do. Tweetable Quotes: “The basis of your success is who you know.” -Hither “You get paid based off of how much conflict you can face and break through.” -Joel “I fast-forwarded 27 years of experience by knowing the people who already know it all.” -Dan “People can’t buy access, cool, or information.” -Dan Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Go to Rothys.com/Travis to check out comfortable, sustainable shoes.

    ]]>     3232 no     266: Freestyle Friday | Meet Your Hero - Follow Up https://travischappell.com/266-freestyle-friday-meet-your-hero-follow-up What happens when you don’t get the response you wanted from one of the people you want to network with the most? In this Freestyle Friday episode of Build Your Network, the Only Business Networking podcast on iTunes, your host Travis Chappell talks about the most important part of meeting your hero - the follow up. Episode Highlights: Always remember to go in for the initial ask first. Remember to be professionally persistent, even if you get a “no” at first. Five tips on follow up: 1) If you do not get a response don’t follow up immediately, wait a few days and reach out in a different way. A no is just a not yet, just get better, creative, and figure out how to add value. 2) If you do get a no don’t get upset and ignore them - be empathetic. 3) Don’t offer something with conditions, offer it as a value-add. 4) If you get a “not right now” be sure to follow up again, ask when is a good time to follow-up again. 5) Get a smile on your face, try video the second time if you don’t do it the first. Download the FREE Meet Your Hero Course at TravisChappell.com. 3 Key Points: Some people say no to everyone the first time, so professional persistence is key. Many times you’re only getting a “no” because someone is busy, figure out a way to differentiate yourself. Most of communication is body language, attempt to do a video chat with your hero and put a smile on your face. Tweetable Quotes: “There’s no follow up if there’s no initial ask.” -Travis “Don’t offer to do things with conditions, just do it as a value-add.” -Travis “Only 7% of communication is the words that we say.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Learn how Travis books his guests on the show download Meet Your Hero for free at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Download the Himalaya app free in https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456?mt=8 (iTunes) and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    ]]>     663 no     265: Who or What Part 7 with Jordan Harbinger, Amy Porterfield, and Jeff Hoffman https://travischappell.com/265-who-or-what-part-7-with-jordan-harbinger-amy-porterfield-and-jeff-hoffman In this latest episode of The Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, we have Part 7 of the Who or What Series where Jordan Harbinger from the Jordan Harbinger Show, Amy Porterfield from the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, and Jeff Hoffman, serial entrepreneur from Priceline.com and Ubid.com talk to your host Travis Chappell, to continue the debate of whether who you know or what you know is more important, and why. Episode Highlights: Jordan Harbinger: It’s all about who you know - not just connecting up but up, down, and laterally. Your network is the most important resource you have. Short term  - your network is great, long term - your network is crucial. How Jordan defines networking - helping people without the expectation of return and in a scalable way. When people help you and keep score they’ll write you off when you don’t reciprocate. Never think about networking transactionally. If you think everyone is taking advantage of you, it’s probably you. If someone won’t help you, even with small things, they’re probably taking advantage of you. Amy Porterfield: Who you know is important to a certain extent, but what you know is also important. People always need things done, so figure out what those things are. How Travis developed a relationship with John Lee Dumas and then got Amy Porterfield on the show. How Amy became friends with Marie Forleo and why she didn’t pay for that friendship. How to get started adding value to others. If you’re an evangelist for what someone is doing you can’t help but notice them. A person of influence is not going to tell you how they want you to support them. Jeff Hoffman: Who you know is more important because you don’t know everything. You’re not as smart as you think you are, and you’re not good at 12 things, you’re good at one thing. If you’re a founder/CEO/Manager you should schedule days to be out of the office to build your network. Why Jeff engages strangers all the time. How Jeff got a Universal Studios executive to come to be a partner in his independent studio. Most people neglect networking because they’re too busy being inefficient to stop and take time to be more efficient. 3 Key Points: Networking is not all about schmoozing people ahead of you, you should be well-connected with everyone - up, down, and laterally. There is not a difference between networking and real relationship building. Don’t build your network when you need it, build it way before you need it. Tweetable Quotes: “The only things people can’t take away from you are your skills and relationships.” -Jordan “You don’t have to be Richard Branson to offer value to people.” -Travis “Your heart has to be in the right place, it’s never about making something happen for you, and then magic happens.” -Amy “The only way to build anything of significance in life is to build a team.” -Jeff Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Highlights: How Shaun became a stripper for a period of time and what the proportion of income was between being a trainer and a stripper. Shaun continued on and booked a couple of musicals, he got injured before going on tour. Mariah Carey called to book Shaun T as a backup dancer based only on his headshot. A few months later he landed his first gig with Beachbody - Hip Hop Abs. The program completely changed his life and helped him be more financially stable. Shaun knew that if he could just change one person’s life that would be worth it. Shaun developed Rockin’ Body and then shortly after he developed Insanity. Growth and money come from the growth within your soul and body. Which Beachbody program means the most to Shaun T: Insanity, because people were motivated by what Shaun was saying to encourage them. The program taught him to speak from the heart and be authentic. When you work hard every single day it seeps out into other areas of your life. If you’re going through something, it’s okay, that’s where growth happens. Shaun talks about his online support group. Why Shaun believes that what you know is more important than who you know. What people know will give you education for what you can know. If you get someone’s business card, you need to write on the back of the card what they told you.

Episode Highlights: How Shaun became a stripper for a period of time and what the proportion of income was between being a trainer and a stripper. Shaun continued on and booked a couple of musicals, he got injured before going on tour. Mariah Carey called to book Shaun T as a backup dancer based only on his headshot. - A few months later he landed his first gig with Beachbody - Hip Hop Abs. - The program completely changed his life and helped him be more financially stable. - Shaun knew that if he could just change one person’s life that would be worth it. Shaun developed Rockin’ Body and then shortly after he developed Insanity. Growth and money come from the growth within your soul and body. Which Beachbody program means the most to Shaun T: - Insanity, because people were motivated by what Shaun was saying to encourage them. - The program taught him to speak from the heart and be authentic. When you work hard every single day it seeps out into other areas of your life. If you’re going through something, it’s okay, that’s where growth happens. Shaun talks about his online support group. Why Shaun believes that what you know is more important than who you know. - What people know will give you education for what you can know. If you get someone’s business card, you need to write on the back of the card what they told you. What you Google about someone is not the same as what someone is willing to tell you. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? - A massage therapist - The human body is amazing and he knows what stress can do to people. If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? - Will Smith - They have a similar sense of humor and he’s from Philly like Shaun. How do you like to consume content? - Podcasts One of Shaun’s favorite podcasts. - Criminal Shaun’s morning routine: - Wake up before the rest of the family and has 45min - 1 hour alone. - Drinks a full glass of water, then coffee - Wake up and play with the boys - Gets onto Team Shaun T and begins the day What is your go-to pump up song? - Lose Control by Missy Elliott What is something you’re not very good at? - Acting What is one place online where we can find Shaun the most? - ShaunTFitness.com/SafeSpace 3 Key Points: 1.

    ]]>     2255 no     263: Freestyle Friday | Five Elements of an Effective Reach Out https://travischappell.com/263-freestyle-friday-five-elements-of-an-effective-reach-out In this latest episode of The Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Your host Travis Chappell gives listeners a glimpse of what’s in his free Meet Your Hero course available at travischappell.com. Learn the five elements of an effective message to busy people and find out how Travis has been able to connect with high-level people so quickly. Episode Highlights: The five elements of an effective message to busy people: 1. Lead with value - mention something specific about them that impacted you. 2. Give information - you have a limited amount of words, give quick, pertinent info and hyperlink to your site. 3. Build a meaningful request - do not ask to “pick their brain.” 4. Offer credibility - give social proof and have someone’s name or a brand name next to yours. 5. “Thanks in advance” - This subconsciously creates a desire to finish the loop. 3 Key Points: Always be specific when reaching out to someone busy, they will know if you just copied and pasted info from their site. Never ask someone if you can “pick their brain” or how you can add value, that just adds homework to their plate. Always say “thanks in advance” to prompt someone to respond. Tweetable Quotes: “DO NOT ask someone if you can pick their brain for a while, or ask them what you can do that could add value to them.” -Travis “Figure out a way to add value to someone and then just do it.” -Travis “Recognizable names, words, and friends of people stand out.” -Travis “Check out the free meet your hero course at my website to get all my value pieces on this topic.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Enroll in Travis’ https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt (VIP day experience).

Episode Highlights: Grant Cardone Connections accellerate everything. How Grant did networking incorrectly in the beginning. If you are committed to greatness and making other people great it edifies you. When Grant wrote a check to Mandalay Bay for $4 million dollars, he provided speakers with a built-in audience. Flow power to power. The guy that helps broken people over and over is broken, you want to help people who are helping themselves. #1 networking tip - make a list of who you want to connect with. Don’t just go get a job, go work for someone. Jill Stanton Jill tells a story of when a connection led to a moment of success. How far behind Jill would be in her business without her mentors. Why Jill thinks people network with the wrong motives. It creates a more genuine relationship with people when you focus on the relationship. Caleb Maddix Caleb’s dad was always pushing him out of his comfort zone. You’ll never get to know the who, if you don’t know the what of how to do it. How important it is to associate with people who are a few levels up from you. Getting around the right people is important because of who you become by associating with them. The best way to get out of an awkward conversation. Never apologize for approaching someone, shake their hand and ask a unique question. Have confidence, respect, and hunger. 3 Key Points: You need money, connections, and support, you can’t get places on your own. When you’re networking, don’t prioritize the ask, prioritize the relationships. You won’t get to know the “who” if you don’t have a “what.” Tweetable Quotes: “Connections accelerate everything, if you’re not first you’re last.” -Grant Cardone “You need to eat with kings and queens and power players.” -Grant Cardone “A network with a bunch of weak people is not a network.” -Grant Cardone “I know that relationships pay off, it’s happened for me many times.” -Jill Stanton “You have to get through the pain to get the prize.” -Caleb Maddix “When you learn how to do something the right way, you can be around anyone you want.” -Caleb Maddix “You don’t have to be a celebrity or influencer to be a successful, important person.” -Matt Maddix Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Enroll in Travis’ https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt (VIP day experience).

Episode Highlights: Dean Graziosi You need to put out into the world good intention expecting nothing in return. If you want to learn how to network, learn the art of reciprocity. Deans story of providing value to Ariana Huffington, Tony Robbins, and Richard Branson. The who won’t come unless you know the what. Kerri Kasem How Kerri became a UFC ring girl and got to work with Dana White. Why Kerri believes that people give up so quickly. The difference between getting a “no” from someone you respect vs. the average guy. People take it too seriously when someone says no to them. What you know you can share with others and help them. Who you know is great, but what you know is who you are and what you’re affecting. Chris Harder If you have a heart of service you’ll never want for anything. Chris tells a story about when a connection led to a moment of success. People neglect to network because it’s outside of their comfort zone. Confidence is not something you’re born with, it’s something you develop. 3 Key Points: You need to change your thought process to be “how can I give” instead of “what can I get.” You have to find creative ways to get around hurdles, a “no” is just a life game. Being an introvert is not a barrier to good networking. Tweetable Quotes: “If you want to learn how to network, learn the art of reciprocity.” -Dean Graziosi “I don’t consider people’s no’s, that just means I need to get creative.” -Kerri Kasem “You have to know the right people and be of great service to those people.” -Chris Harder “Ask yourself what you’re afraid of, then ask yourself why.” -Chris Harder Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Enroll in Travis’ https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt (VIP day experience).

Mark has been able to do business deals with Gary Vaynerchuck and Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, as well as gaining licensing deals with some of the top brands out there. In episode 258 of the only business networking podcast on iTunes, Mark talks to your host Travis Chappell about how he formed a working business partnership with Gary Vee and Scooter Braun, why Mark is all about the value add, and why you can’t skip the process. Episode Highlights: Mark grew up in middle-class Long Island and was a big soccer player with a tight-knit group of friends. Mark talks about the moment that helped him learn that if he puts his mind to something he can achieve it. In college, he had to redefine himself and he became a hustler and entrepreneur. Mark was a finance major following in his father’s footsteps. Mark didn’t view actual classes in school as helpful. After college Mark’s life tanked for a while. He moved to California and was laid off from his job. He began a 100% commission sales job. Why experience is important and you shouldn’t try to get around it. People need to start looking at the value exchange, not the time. How Mark was able to stop caring about what people thought. Why you should audit your circle and audit what you’re consuming. How Mark made the pivot and started to dropship art. How Shopify and digital market affected Mark’s business. Mark and his business partner did the first $2 million in their company part-time. Why you need to build an internal reputation with yourself. A synopsis of Ikonick - Affordable pop-culture art. How Mark was able to build a partnership with Gary Vaynerchuck. You can’t be a fan and a friend, you have to pick one or the other. You have to be interested and interesting at the same time. It’s not so much about who you meet later, it’s about who you came up with. What Mark has going on with Gary right now - they’ve dropped one collection, and they’re about to drop two more. What’s next for Ikonick - collaborations, licensing, more product mediums, and more. Mark believes that the most important thing in any market is intelligence and skills. Mark tells a story of when a connection led to a moment of success - the story of meeting Scooter Braun. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt?

    ]]>     988 no     256: Who or What Part 4 | Jack Canfield, Brad Lea, and Angie Lee https://travischappell.com/256-who-or-what-part-4-jack-canfield-brad-lea-and-angie-lee In Part 4 of the Who or What Series Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, Brad Lea from Lightspeed VT, and Angie Lee from the Angie Lee Show talk to your host Travis Chappell about whether who you know or what you know is more important. Jack Canfield Jack is not a natural networker, but he learned early on that who you know is the most important thing. Both who and what you know are important, but you need to know something of value. Know your craft and keep getting better at it. If no one knows you’re good at something, it’s useless - market yourself! If you’re not compassionate and caring, people will not want to work with you. Brad Lea What and who you know is equally important. If you have the what without the who and the who without the what then you’re ill-prepared for success. If you don’t know anything, a relationship is not as valuable as it could be. If you already have a good, solid what, then double down on the who. Angie Lee There are a lot of really smart people out there who are not successful because they don’t make connections. You have to ask for what you want and show up. Most jobs are gained by referral, not resume. Angie talks about how a connection has led to a moment of success. 3 Key Points: 1. Whenever you go somewhere, act like a host. 2. If you know nothing, then it doesn’t matter who you know. 3. It’s a blend of knowledge, networking, and asking for what you want and showing up. Tweetable Quotes: “Provide more value to the people you’re working with, and figure out how to reach more people to provide value to.” -Jack Canfield “I know a lot of people, and it doesn’t help me knowing anybody unless I have the what.” -Brad Lea “With everything in life it’s who you know that gets you ahead.” -Angie Lee “I want to be around who I can trust, so it’s all about who you know.” -Angie Lee Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Enroll in Travis’ https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt (VIP day experience).

Following several years as a top-ranked national physique competitor, he created the breakout brand Cured which has positively impacted tens of thousands of lives across the nation. Joe is the host of the weekly Cured Collective Podcast. Joe talks to your host Travis Chappell about how he cured his crippling anxiety, the number one way that he grew his CBD business to 7-figures in less than two years, and how listening to podcasts changed his life. Show Notes: Joe talks about what it was like for him growing up. He was very fortunate and heavily involved in sports and working out. He played hockey, basketball, and golf. He started interning at Lockheed Martin at 19 years old. He pursued the difficult degree of aerospace engineering but partied really hard. Partying, drugs, and alcohol began to consume his life. His loss of self and poor decisions led him to a suicide attempt. He cut ties with everyone in his life to save what he had built. Joe’s journey after his suicide attempt when he was ready to change. He always had a health and fitness drive that was bullied by his friends. He threw himself into fitness and then became really interested in entrepreneurship. Joe was about 24 years old when he decided he actually wanted to try and build a business. The catalyst for Joe’s starting his business was wanting to share other stories and building their network. The tipping point for Joe to start building his business and create a product. Joe realized that his definition of healthy was not actually healthy and something needed to change. He had one foot in his job and one foot in his entrepreneurial ventures. He was beginning to be depressed again and he got sick of not listening to himself. Everyone believes in themselves deep down, but it’s hard to remember we’re capable when we’re put in a box. The top things Joe did to turn his idea into a multi-million enterprise Building a network of people across the nation. Understanding that education is so important and you have to step out of your comfort zone. Do you believe that what you know or who you know is more important, and why? 100% who you know because you can get knowledge quicker from other people. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt?

    ]]>     437 no     253: Who or What Part 3 with JP Sears, Ryan Stewman, and Billy Gene https://travischappell.com/253-who-or-what-part-3-with-jp-sears-ryan-stewman-and-billy-gene JP Sears from AwakenwithJP.com, Ryan Stewman bestselling author of Elevator to the Top and founder of Hardcore Closer, and Billy Gene from Billy Gene is marketing talk to your host Travis Chappell about whether who you know or what you know is more important, and why they believe what they believe. JP Sears It should be a question of who, not how. What and who are both important, but who propels you forward. Being around people who are on a different level requires you to uplevel too. How a connection made it possible for JP to have Tony Robbins endorse his book. When you’re able to show value that you’ve created people welcome you into their network. Ryan Stewman It’s what you know, but the key to what you know is doing it. When he had tickets to a Joe Rogan event enabled him to meet David Goggins and potentially do business with him. Billy Gene You absolutely have to have both what you know and who you know. You have to be great at what you know so that when you meet the right person you have something to offer. It’s all about the value exchange. A couple of the ways that Billy adds value. Get on top of the trends, they’ll bring you a lot of success. 3 Key Points: Growing your network to include heavy hitters will uplevel you. Getting connections through relationships allows you to develop natural relationships. Networking is way easier when you have something to contribute and have an audience. Tweetable Quotes: “Being around people who live in a more unlimited way is transformative.” -JP Sears “Some friends introduced me a great connection just by accident, and we were able to develop a really cool relationship.” -Ryan Stewman “If you want to have relationships that help you get ahead, you have to have something to bring to the table.” -Billy Gene “When you hear the no, that’s when the sale begins.” -Billy Gene Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (Freemmcourse.com/enroll) Enroll in Travis’ https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt (VIP day experience).

    ]]>     1441 no     252: Sharran Srivatsaa | $300 million to $3.4 billion?? https://travischappell.com/252-sharran-srivatsaa-300-million-to-3-4-billion Sharran Srivatsaa is the CEO of Kingston Lane, a push-button technology execution platform for real estate. He’s a serial entrepreneur, sought-after keynote speaker, and a respected thought leadership resource for publications. Sharron led Tellus properties unprecedented 10x growth resulting in its acquisition. Sharran also has the 5 am club which has over 3,000 people on a call every morning at 5 am - and it’s free! Sharran talks to your host Travis Chappell about getting his MBA, how he took Tellus properties from millions to billions in a five-year period, and what he’s most excited about doing right now. How Sharran got started - what his goals and dreams were from high school into college. He was born in India into poverty, he was bullied a lot. His father knew they needed to get him out of India and into Australia of the U.S. His parents came up with enough money to send him to one full year of college in the U.S. How Sharran’s parent’s sacrifice set the tone for his time in college. Sharran’s dumpster fight with a raccoon over food and what that made him realize about himself. His tolerance and threshold for pain are much higher after going through low points. A low point is necessary for someone to get ahead in the world - you need to see adversity happen in and around your life or be dialed into the adversity around you. Society has taught us to rationalize why we want something - we don’t actually want that many things. Sharran talks about joining a company in college in a “right place, right time” situation. There are three big high-income skills: Communication Presenting/Closing The Network Sharran took five years off after the exit and worked in the high-end resort business where he learned major empathy. He went to business school to learn about deal structuring and then spent time in a Goldman Sachs training program. How Sharran came to work at Tellus Properties and bought out most of the shareholders. He told the leadership team they needed to 10x in five years. They were acquired at the end of 2017 for a great exit for everyone involved. How the MBA and Goldman Sachs experiences impacted his success. How Kingston Lane came about and what they’re doing. Sharran would like to build his life around Kingston Lane and not exit the company. Do you believe that who you know or what you know is more important, and why? Who you know is more important You can either go through 90 stops of what, or ONE stop of who and compress the process. Conservatively, Sharran has invested in $1 million in mentorships and masterminds. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Teach 1st Grade If you could sit on a park bench with anyone for an hour who would it be, and why? Buckminster Fuller He was ahead of his time thinking about what the world could be. How do you like to consume content? Podcasts Give us a glimpse of your morning routine? Wake up at 4:45am every day. Runs the 5 am club every day. What is something that you are not very good at? Not very organized What is your go-to pump up song? Eye of the Tiger What is one place where we can find you the most? @SharranSrivatsaa on Instagram 3 Key Points: You don’t have to rationalize wanting something, if you feel the need to rationalize it, you might not really want it. We are network organisms and networking is a high-income skill. You can’t just 10x one part of your life, you have to level up all around.
