When it comes to our spending habits, we like to spend money on good things. And if spending a certain amount on that good thing is good, then spending even more is surely better, right? In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the law of diminishing returns and why/how we unknowingly sabotage our finances and enjoyment of good things because of it. If thought about intentionally, and applied to our life, these concepts can really move the needle when it comes to getting value and finding enjoyment in our spending.

The desire for perfection is oftentimes our biggest enemy. In today's (fully raw and unedited) episode, we discuss the risk, ramifications, tragedy, and opportunity cost of the pursuit of perfection. The idea that done is better than perfect is the only reason this podcast exists. If it were up to host Travis Shelton and his perfectionist ways, we'd still be thinking about maybe someday starting a podcast. Embrace "done" and share your gifts with the world. Don't let perfectionism rob us of your impact.

What would you do if you won the lottery? It's a hypothetical question that has deep ramifications depending on your answer. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this idea and why we should seriously consider our answer. We believe it's a tell to a much bigger issue, and one that's very much relevant in our lives. The question may be theoretical, but the implications are not.

Do you see yourself as a creative person? Many people don't. However, creativity comes in many forms. Some people create art, and others content. Some people create businesses, and others something entirely different. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains how each person has something to offer the world, and the importance of pushing it into the world. When we do, we benefit.....and many others do as well. When we don't, everyone is robbed. What will you create today?

In our opinion, one of the trends we dislike the most in the personal finance space is the celebration and encouragement of selfish hoarding. By selfish hoarding, we are referring to the people who save a very high percentage of their income. Saving in and of itself certainly isn't bad, but it comes at a cost: generosity and enjoyment. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the short-term and long-term ramifications of this shifting culture. We'd love to know what you think!

In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses a phenomenon he's seeing more and more these days. Many small business owners are carving their niche and finding success, while at the same time not always getting support from the people they'd expect to support them most. This is an interesting dynamic, and one worth discussing. We think it comes down to one key thing: jealousy. Some of it is conscious jealousy, while some may also be more subconscious. Small business owners, what are you experiencing in your own life and business?

When we have goals, whether they are financial, fitness, spiritual, career, or something else, we focus on the outcome......the destination. Yes, the destination is important. However, we believe the journey is even more important than the destination. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why the journey is so important and how we often rob ourselves of something important by dwelling on the outcome.

It's inevitable. At some point, we're going to mess up our finances. It happens.....life happens. When that moment comes, it's a fork in the road. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains how we can/should approach our finances in the aftermath of a screw-up. It doesn't have to be the end of the world. If done well, we can turn a fiery car crash into a mere bump in the road.
