In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down the modern “buy back your time” culture—everything from viral clips glamorizing $400/month haircuts to outsourcing every basic task. Eric brings his media and production perspective, while Travis adds years of entrepreneurial insight, creating a practical, funny, and eye-opening look at what actually matters when it comes to time, money, and priorities.

On this episode we talk about:

The rise of “alpha bro” outsourcing content and why so much of it is performative

When paying to save time is genuinely smart—and when it’s just a flex

The psychology behind choosing what to do yourself vs. hiring it out

Why cooking at home, reading books, and doing the obvious can be a real competitive advantage

How Travis evaluates whether a time-saving purchase is actually worth it

Top 3 Takeaways

Not every “time-saving hack” is a hack—some are expensive distractions disguised as productivity.

Buying back your time only works when you reinvest that time into something meaningful or profitable.

Common sense executed consistently beats flashy shortcuts every single time.

Notable Quotes

“Your time is your only non-renewable asset—so spend money intentionally, not impulsively.”

“Some of these viral hacks aren’t hacks… they’re just flexes with a motivational caption.”

“Doing the obvious becomes a superpower when everyone else is looking for shortcuts.”
