15 min - 297 - Master Your Universe: Focus on What You Can Control, Let Go of What You Can't
Do you ever get worked up about all the things you can't control? You aren't alone! There are two categories of things in life: those we can control, and those we can't. And unfortunately, most are in the "can't" camp. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the importance of focusing our energy on the things we can actually control. When we do, it's amazing how we can indirectly influence the things we can't actually control. Whether it's money, work, or any number of components in our life, we just need to control what we can control, and let go of the rest.

15 min - 296 - Did You Make 26% On Your Investments in 2023? If Not, We Need to Talk
How did your investments do in 2023? Lots of people are celebrating their 12%, 16%, and even 18% performance. Considering the stock market is supposed to get "8%-10% per year," they crushed it.....or did they? Context matters. Unfortunately, these people lost big time. Why? Because the U.S. stock market returned 26% on the year (including dividends). So if your portfolio came in well under that number, you were done a disservice. Let's talk about it.

Do you enjoy using your credit card points for travel? We all do! However, all may not be as it seems. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the trap many of us face. In our pursuit to acquire and use these reward points, we often unknowingly sabotage our finances in the process.
