10 min - 148 - Meaning vs. Money: Private School Edition
It's back-to-school season! For host Travis Shelton, it's the first official full-time school season for his twin boys, who are starting Kindergarten. Like most parents, Travis and his wife thought long and hard about what path to take for their children's education. Ultimately, they chose a local private school. In today's episode, Travis discusses the cost, considerations, and consequences involved in this decision. It was a painful financial decision, but if you're a regular listener of this show, you know we stress the importance of focusing on the meaning, not the money. This episode is about private school, but it's really not. It's meant to use this one specific example as an illustration of how we can make the best decisions for our respective families as we walk through life.

14 min - 147 - Assessing Risk (Without Fear)
Risk is a weird thing with us humans. Sometimes we grossly underestimate risk, while other times we grossly overestimate it. The biggest reason we whiff? Fear! We tend to rely too much on emotion, and not enough on what really matters. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton talks through a simple but effective way to analyze and assess risk. It's based on an article he was working on for Brainz Magazine. If you'd like to read the article, you can find it in the link below.

30 min - 146 - Reframing Health Insurance
With benefit election season quickly approaching, we are going to spend some time on the topic of health insurance. Specifically, how to pick the plan that's right for you and your family's situation. Oftentimes, by default, people choose the plan with the best ongoing coverage. Lower deductibles, lower co-insurance, more coverage, etc. However, that's just part of the story.....and sometimes the smaller part of the story. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how each of us can simply and clearly assess our health insurance options to decide what's truly best for our family's situation.

There's not a hard and fast right and wrong, but we do believe there's a right for you. Let's figure it out!

15 min - 144 - Gain Awareness, Gain Control, Gain Traction
When people want to make financial progress, one of our first pieces of advice is to NOT immediately start cutting back and slashing expenses. Doing so will cause them to burn out quickly or quit before they even get started. Instead, we walk them through a three-step process that is proven to work. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains these three steps, how to execute them, and why it's a proven method to create real, sustainable change.

10 min - 143 - The Cost of Pursuing Meaning
Fact: pursuing meaning over money can be hard.....very hard. Yes, it's an amazing and fulfilling journey. But it would be disingenuous for us to pretend it comes without a cost. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains some of the costs he and others have paid, how he perceives and navigates it, and why he's more convicted than ever about his decision to pursue the meaning.

15 min - 142 - You Can Have Regrets Without Wishing It Away
We've all done things we regret. Poor decisions, mistakes, or actions resulting in significant negative consequences. We have in the past, and we will in the future. When this happens, we sometimes shrug it off and convince ourselves we don't regret it. Why? Because some positive things have likely come from it. One terrible decision can lead us down a completely different path in life.....and everything as a result (even the good stuff) can be traced back to the poor decision. So in a way, we justify the poor decision and minimize its impact on our life, which can later lead us to repeat similar poor decisions (resulting in even more pain). In today's episode, host Travis Shelton talks about the idea of regretting past mistakes without wishing them away. When we reframe it through that lens, it allows us to take responsibility for our past mistakes, be grateful for the blessings we do have, and learn to be better as we move forward.
