- 328 - The Myth of Job Security: The Risks of (Falsely) Believing Your Job is Safe
Do you have job security? Most people believe they have job security….until the day they don’t. We believe this narrative around job security is hurting people in several ways. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains the various risks we subject ourselves to when we (falsely) believe we have job security. Here’s a question to ponder: If you don’t actually have job security, would you still make the same career/job decision that you’re presently making?

15 min - 327 - Sexy Isn’t Always Better: Why the Pursuit of Meaning is Far Too Underrated
It seems like everyone has a sexy product to sell. Become a millionaire in 24 months! Increase your income by $10,000/month! Create passive income so you can sit on a beach! Sexy, sexy, and sexy. On the other hand, it’s funny how unsexy our meaning over money ideas are. “It’s not about getting rich.” “We shouldn’t glorify retirement.” “Work is just as important as fun.” To be frank, these messages to catch eyeballs and attention. However, time and time again, when people decide to aggressively pursue the less sexy path toward meaning, everything changes. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton tries to put into words how something so unsexy can be so, so good. After you’re done with this episode, we hope you agree.

14 min - 326 - Work Isn't a Four-Letter Word: Redefining Work for the Next Generation (A Parent’s Guide)
Why do 7 out of 10 Americans dislike or hate their jobs? In a country as free as ours, and with technology that allows for infinite possibilities, it’s hard to believe this is where we are. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he thinks the seeds of workplace discontent are planted when we are children. Then, every step of our journey is curated to show us that work is supposed to suck. A better way exists, and it begins with how we talk to our children.

13 min - 325 - It’s Always a Good Time to Buy: The Short-Sightedness of All-Time Stock Market Highs
One common narrative around the topic of investing is the idea we shouldn’t buy when the market is at or near an all-time high. Instead, we should be patient and wait for the market to crash…..you know, “buy low, sell high.” In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why this is a short-sighted and costly mistake for most people. You might be shocked by just how often the stock market hits new all-time highs. We think this episode may change your entire perspective on timing (or not) the market.

13 min - 323 - The Risk of Not Taking Risk: Why Complacency Is the Real Risk We Should Be Worried About
It’s quite common for us to think about the risk of making this decision or that decision. We (hopefully) objectively look at the choices before us, and assess the risk and rewards of each. However, we don’t often think about the risk of NOT doing something. Let's call it the risk of not taking risk. In many situations, we would argue, the risk of not taking risk is far greater than the risk we’d be taking. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton dives into the risk of complacency and how not taking risks is actually the biggest risk of all.

9 min - 322 - The Irresponsibility Challenge: What Would Happen if You Couldn't Do Anything Responsible for a Full Month?
Warning: This episode may offend personal finance traditionalists. There’s a shadow side to being completely locked in and focused on our goals. Sure, that focus allows us to crush our goals and make ridiculous progress. That’s amazing! However, it can also lead to burnout if we’re not careful. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton discusses a weird and counter-cultural challenge he issued to one of his clients who was on the brink of burnout. For one month, they weren’t allowed to do anything “responsible” with their money. Instead, it was a full month of nothing but wants and fun….we’ll call it planned irresponsibility. It changed everything!

11 min - 321 - Lessons from Coach: Why We Never See Sports Coaches Chasing Retirement, and How It Applies to You
Have you ever noticed that sports coaches never talk about their desire to quit working? They don’t say things like, “Only 5 more years until I can retire,” or “I can’t wait to finally hang it up.” Instead, they talk about their desire to coach as long as they are able. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this unique dynamic, and why we all could learn a thing or two from the coaches in our life. This episode was inspired by the Long Beach State men’s basketball team, their coach Dan Monson, and the amazing story they lived out heading into March Madness.

15 min - 320 - There’s No Telling Where the Road to Meaning Will Lead...and It’s Probably Far Better Than You Think
When the idea of pursuing meaning over money is discussed, many people equate meaning to lack of money. We treat the decision as if we’re pursuing meaning OR money. However, that’s not how it works. Pursuing meaning is just that, pursuing meaning….and where that leads is a mystery to be unearthed. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how the road to meaning is typically far better than we can ever imagine. It also gives Travis an excuse to talk about Cole behind his back. Trust us, Cole’s story is a beautiful example of the road to meaning.

14 min - 319 - Show, Don’t Tell: How Our Actions Speak Louder Than Our (Annoying) Words
Have you ever tried to help a loved one by telling them about a better way? Yeah, it doesn’t work very well, does it? In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why our words often don’t make the impact we desire…..and in many cases, can have a negative effect. Instead of telling people what to do, we should simply show them through our own actions. When we live these meaning over money principles, other people can’t help but notice. Our lived example is more powerful than any words that could come out of our mouths.
