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?"
