Travis Chappell teams up with his longtime friend and collaborator Eric for a fun, unfiltered episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast. Eric reads provocative quotes from thinkers like Naval Ravikant and Benjamin Franklin, challenging Travis to agree or disagree with context from his own life and business journey. 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
You're the main character in your own "single player game" – question inherited paths and design a life that fulfills you, not others' expectations.
Aim for "rich and anonymous" over fame; meaningful connections with a niche audience build sustainable businesses without public life hassles.
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?"
