- 278 - Losing the Right to Create Impact: Why Completely Disregarding Money is Destructive in the Pursuit of Meaning
We often talk about the science of money and happiness, and the reality that money ultimately does not drive happiness. People on the other side of this aisle often use this as a reason why we should just completely disregard money altogether. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why this isn't the answer. In fact, these types of behaviors can sabotage our efforts and lead us to a place where we end up dwelling on money (or rather money issues).

14 min - 277 - Paying Your Dues: Embracing Delayed Gratification for a Better Future
We live in a culture obsessed with instant gratification. We want to put in the work, quickly get rewarded, then repeat. However, this isn't the way most of life works. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains how this instant gratification mindset is sabotaging our ability to achieve our goals. Instead, if we take a longer-term approach, we have the potential to accelerate to where we're trying to go.

18 min - 274 - When Bad Financial Decisions Are the Best Life Decisions
Many financial decisions are destructive. However, we can't make every decision in life through the lens of money. If we do that, we're nothing more than a mathematical robot. Instead, we need to let finances be one of the factors while making decisions through the lens of a meaningful life. Sometimes, that involves making a decision that may be considered "bad."

12 min - 271 - Cost Matters, But It's Only Half of the Equation
We're programmed to look at the cost when we purchase something. Is it a good price? Bad price? This is a great exercise, but dwelling on just cost causes us to make poor decisions. Why? Because cost is only half the equation. It's for this reason that a $50 attraction can be a ripoff but a $700 concert can be a bargain. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton drills down on the often missing piece of the equation: value!
