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.
Notable Quotes
“You have to earn the right to be able to take those breaks in life.”
“Extremity expands capacity.”
“You are not owed your dream life just because you’re born.”
