In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric tackle an uncomfortable truth — most people don’t have a money problem, they have an honesty problem. Drawing surprising parallels between tracking calories and tracking finances, Travis explains why awareness and discipline are the real keys to building wealth (and staying in shape). This one brings plenty of laughter, practical insight, and even a few food confessions along the way.
On this episode we talk about:
Why most “money problems” start with self-deception
The dieting analogy that reveals your real financial habits
How small, “invisible” expenses quietly sabotage your goals
What lifestyle creep is — and how to stop it for good
Why tracking every dollar is the first step to freedom
Top 3 Takeaways
1. Honesty beats income — you can’t manage what you don’t measure.
2. The “BLTs” (bites, licks, and tastes) in your diet are just like the untracked charges on your credit card.
3. More money doesn’t fix bad habits; awareness and discipline do.
