15 min - 226 - The Grass Always Seems Greener: How Half-Truth Comparisons Are Sabotaging Our Happiness
Do you ever compare where you are to a certain place you could be? A job, relationship, decision, neighborhood, or ______ (insert your thing here).

In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explores the idea of half-truth comparisons. How it happens, why it happens, and the devastating consequences if we fall into the trap.

15 min - 225 - Demystifying the 1099 Economy: The Future of Work is Upon Us
The term "1099 Economy", or "Gig Economy", has been heating up in recent years. More people than ever have entered the 1099 economy, but the entire concept continues to get demeaned and disrespected by our culture at large. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains the key differences between traditional W-2 employment and 1099 contract work, and some of the perceived risks/pitfalls of 1099 employment (and how to mitigate it). He also highlights some of the potential upsides and benefits many people aren't aware of. We aren't advocating for one over the other, but rather to help people understand both paths are viable and have their own merits.

15 min - 223 - You Can Always Go Back: Giving Yourself the Freedom to Try Scary Things
Change is hard. With it comes uncertainty, fear, and the very real risk of failure. Host Travis Shelton experienced this in a major way when he left his prior career to start his business. Then, a trusted friend threw a truth bomb into the mix, "You can always go back." Just like that, the paradigm shifted. Nothing is forever and we always have the right to shift again. This perspective, if taken seriously, has the power to transform the way we approach our work and our life.

15 min - 222 - Moving On: How to Overcome the Sunk Cost Fallacy and Embrace Change
Have you ever invested in something (time, energy, money, etc.), only to have it not work out as well as you had originally hoped? Our human instinct is to stick with it, as we don't want to "throw away" that investment. Therefore, we take something bad and make it worse. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the idea of sunk costs. When we can view sunk costs with a healthy perspective, we will make significantly better decisions and carry much less guilt.

We hope this helps you think through and walk through your own situation! Reach out if you have any questions....we always love hearing from you.

14 min - 220 - "I Can't Replicate That Feeling": Why Generosity Outweighs Everything
There are a lot of cool things we can do with money. Feed our family, buy shiny things, pay for experiences, travel the world, eat amazing food.....the list goes on and on. However, one thing rises above all others: generosity. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares a conversation he had with his friend, Austin. In this discussion, Austin so eloquently communicated the genuine beauty that is sincere generosity. There's truly nothing better we can do with money than give it to someone who has nothing to offer us in return. We hope this episode allows you to think about giving through a different lens. It's worth it!

13 min - 219 - Don't Compare Your Beginning to Someone Else's Middle
Do you ever find yourself comparing yourself to someone else? Chances are you look upward when comparing.....not downward. The title of today's episode is a quote from Jon Acuff. Host Travis Shelton heard Jon say this many years ago, and it made a big impact on his life. Whether it's money, skills, career, fitness, or any other number of areas in our life, we need to take a step back from the comparison trap. We also need to recognize our comparisons are often unfair. We can't expect to be where someone else is if we haven't put near the time, energy, or commitment into it (yet) as they have. When we keep this in mind, it has the power to change our perspective and get us back on track to where we need (and want) to be.
