19 min - 081 - The Power of Not Having Excuses
There's one thing that will stop progress before it even has a chance to start: an excuse! We all have them. It's easy to point to our excuses and use it to justify not doing something. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses his young friend Olivia and her recent accomplishment of paying off $37,000 of student loan debt in just 20 months.....all happening during her first two years of teaching (yes, $37,000 of debt payoff as a single teacher!). Olivia didn't do anything special.....she just didn't have any excuses. We hope this episode inspires you and can be a starting point to something really, really awesome in your journey!

1 hr 10 min - 079 - Best Life Advice We've Ever Received #1
During a recent coffee date discussion, host Travis Shelton's friend Kylie suggested we do an episode about the best life advice we've ever received. At first, it didn't seem like there was any connection between this idea and the general concept of Meaning Over Money. But after some contemplation, it actually aligns perfectly! After all, this is meaning OVER money! In today's episode, Travis shares the first five pieces of advice that changed the trajectory of his life. We will have a few more episodes on the subject, and we want to hear yours. What is the best life advice you've ever received? Send us a voice memo to be featured on a future episode!

17 min - 078 - What You Need to Start a Business: Almost Nothing!
There's a narrative in our culture that says we need a lot of money to start a business. And we are lucky to have it, or we need to go borrow it. The other narrative told to people is they need to create an LLC in order to start their business. Both of these are lies, and in many cases can create artificial hurdles that prevent someone from starting what could be an amazing business. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why we probably need far less than we think to start a business. If you're thinking about starting a business (big or small) and you're intimidated by these things, this episode is for you! There's never going to be a perfect time and we'll never have it all figured out.....so just start now!

17 min - 077 - "Beautiful On the Outside, Rusting On the Inside"
Do you ever look at someone in your life, see how wealthy and put together they are, and get a bit jealous? Well fear not, it's often not what it seems. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses his experience seeing what's behind the curtain for families who seemingly have it made. Spoiler alert: it's not usually what you'd expect. Some people put so much effort (and money) into portraying a certain image, it hinders their ability to actually have financial stability. However, this isn't about pointing the finger at others. We each need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves how we're going to handle our own life and our own finances. If (and that's a big if) we can stop caring about what others think about us, do the right thing for the right reasons, and set a strong foundation, we can set ourselves up for decades to come. And as always, it's not about the money. Money is never about the money.....it's always about something bigger!

18 min - 076 - Navigating Major Life Changes as a Young Adult (with Kate Netten)
In an impromptu interview, host Travis Shelton sits down with Kate Netten to discuss navigating major life changes as a young adult. Kate is the wife of Cole Netten, co-founder of Meaning Over Money. In just a short 7-month timespan, Cole and Kate experienced four significant life changes that rocked their understanding of "normal". In today's episode, Kate discusses how they made some of these decisions, how they stayed healthy and focused through it, and how it's changed them as people and as a couple. We also discuss how people who may be afraid to step into a major change can navigate the fear, uncertainties, and struggles that go hand-in-hand with any meaningful change. It's never easy, but it IS worth it!

38 min - 075 - Parents, Your Kids Deserve Better (On Sending Kids to College Without Student Loan Debt)
Recently, host Travis Shelton had the opportunity to host a workshop for parents and teens on the topic of launching young adults into the world without student loan debt. Rampant student loan debt is crushing this young generation, crushing aspirations, dreams, and opportunities with it. We believe young adults deserve better than this. However, many of us had to feel the burden of college debt ourselves. It sucks and we've had to figure it out. With that in mind, here's a profound thought: our kids deserve better than what we had to go through. Just because we had to experience the bondage of student loans, it doesn't mean our children have to. In today's episode, we discuss the various nuances of this idea, why it matters, and how to take steps to give our children a future they deserve. Also, please hear this. We aren't saying every parent has a responsibility to pay for their children's college. Far from it. Rather, we argue parents have a responsibility to help their children create and execute a plan to go to college without debt.

18 min - 074 - Life Gets More Complicated AFTER the Debt is Gone
Paying off debt is simple. If there is extra money each month, there's only one place it goes: to the debt! It's a tough journey to become debt-free, but it's also a very simple one. Something happens when we get out of debt. We think life will get easier and simpler. Truth is, it becomes more complicated. Instead of having one very clear option on what to do with extra cash, the world opens up and there are so many amazing opportunities in front of us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains this odd phenomenon of life getting harder when it should be getting easier, and how to embrace the amazing opportunities in front of us. Being debt-free is awesome, but not always as simple as we might imagine. All that being said, it's worth it! So let's make the best of the situation to pursue work that matters and find meaning in all we do!

17 min - 073 - 'Tis the Season to Exercise Your Giving Muscle
We love generosity! We believe all year long is a season to give, but the holidays tend to be the time where many people start to think about generosity. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why it's so important to exercise what he refers to as the "giving muscle." After all, generosity isn't something we do, but rather who we are. That may not feel like your reality today, but by practicing and exercising our giving muscle, we can work our way up to so much more generosity than we ever imagined. After you listen to this episode, we hope you are inspired to find some pretty amazing giving opportunities in this season and beyond.
