Meaning Over Money
By Travis SheltonBusiness
Meaning Over Money episodes
- 072 - Do the Hard Thing!
The culture tells us to pursue the easy path, the comfortable path, the path of least resistance. We choose the comfortable path in our careers, in our relationships, in our money.....everywhere! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton talks about how a recent speaking engagement affirmed once again how doing the hard thing ALWAYS wins! Comfort is the enemy of progress. It can often feel like some people are born to do hard things and some aren't. We believe it's an acquired taste and a learned skill. It just takes practice and repetition, and soon enough doing hard things becomes the normal thing.

17 min - 071 - We Just Hit Record High Debt - You Deserve Better Than Normal
As we move further and further away from 2008's Great Financial Crisis, memories fade and a younger generation has risen to adulthood. With that comes mountains of new debt.....record levels of debt!

Just like 2008 and every meaningful recession before it, so many people will get crushed in due time. Lucky for you, you don't have to be one of them! There's a better way, and you deserve better than normal!

18 min - 069 - "Is it ok to NOT Find Meaning in My Work?"
One really deep question we often get asked is, "is it ok NOT to find meaning in my work if I have meaning outside my work?" The short question, is of course, yes. We aren't here to tell people what to do and everyone needs to find their own way in this crazy life. However, we think people deserve better. It's awesome to have meaning (lots of meaning!) outside of work! But why not have both? In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why you don't have to choose between meaning in work or outside of work. If we can find meaning in both, it significantly compounds our joy, our purpose, and the fulfillment we get each and every day.

12 min - 068 - Just Because Advice "Works", It Doesn't Mean It's Good Advice
Often, people will share financial advice and conclude with the line, "well, it worked for me." It's great if a certain way of doing things "works" for someone, but it doesn't mean it's good advice. In today's social media world, bad advice is flying at us left and right, disguised as sound wisdom. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton rants about this cultural phenomenon and provides some tips on how to assess whether or not to apply the advice you're hearing (including the advice coming out of his own mouth).

12 min - 067 - Investing, Even When Things Get Weird
After a decade of the stock market going up, up, and up, people are starting to see the end of the run is coming. Well, the wise people are anyway. After all, there are lots of things to be nervous about in our country and our economy. With that naturally comes the question, "well then, what should we be doing to prepare?" In today's episode, host Travis Shelton unpacks this question and explains some of the risks and perceived risks we face. In short, there are two groups of people: 1) those who are invested simply and broadly who shouldn't worry one single bit, and 2) those who think they are smart by buying and selling individual investments.....who should be worried a lot! When this market crashes, many people will get crushed. Ironically, the "smart" ones who think they know what they are doing will likely be the biggest casualties.

19 min - 066 - We ALL Need a Team: We Aren't Meant To Do This Alone
In our culture, we tend to put a lot of value on independence, self-sufficiency, and individual achievements. So much so that it can oftentimes breed a sentiment that we SHOULD do it all on our own. Life, money, career, parenting.....you name it. It can be a lonely road, but luckily it doesn't have to be! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he believes this is a false and destructive narrative. Instead, each one of us should spend some of our time, energy, and humility assembling a team of people around us. After all, we can't be experts at everything. When we take a different approach and are willing to bring people alongside us to help us on our journey, life looks (and feels) so much different. We are so very grateful for the people on our teams, and we hope maybe you'll consider building (or expanding) your team after listening to this episode.

15 min - 065 - Shedding the Lies of the Hustle Culture
If you're a young adult, you've likely been exposed to the hustle culture that permeates Instagram and TikTok. You know, go, go, go, more money, more money, more money. This never-ending pursuit of hustling for more. Then, it goes one of two directions: a) glorifying having more stuff and a fancier lifestyle, or b) glorifying an early retirement and a life of leisure. Both are as equally toxic in our perspectives. It shouldn't be about grinding our life away in the pursuit of more stuff or a life of leisure. The net result of this online culture is its making many people feel like they are "lazy" if they don't work 12-hour days or work 6 days a week, or if they don't have multiple side businesses, or if they have less stuff than their neighbors. We believe this phenomenon is shifting our perspective of work, balance, materialism, and the role money plays in our lives.

18 min - 064 - Don't Let Health Insurance Steal Your Dreams
Aside from fear, the perceived availability of health insurance is the #1 reason why people abandon their dreams. Yes, health insurance is important.....vitally important!!! But we oftentimes let health insurance dictate our career decisions without considering the bigger picture or the alternative options. It's a tragedy health insurance is tied to our employment in modern America, but we can't just let it rule our decisions. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discussed how we got here, offers some alternative ways to approach health insurance, and discusses how he helps clients assess their various health insurance options. We certainly aren't going to solve our nation's medical crisis, but we can get a little bit better making decisions for our own family's medical needs.....and maybe hold onto our dreams in the process!

23 min - 063 - Investing In Memories: Twenty One Pilots Edition
As Travis's mentor Dr. Gary Hoag always says, we need to invest in mission and memories. Recently, Travis and his wife celebrated their 12-year wedding anniversary with a quick trip to Chicago to attend a Twenty One Pilots concert at the United Center. Aside for ranting about how amazing Twenty One Pilots is, Travis discusses the fact this 27-hour trip cost $1,000.....yikes! It's important for us to recognize the importance of memories, stop dwelling about money, and why there are broader implications in our finances and relationships. Money is NEVER about money....it's always about something bigger.
Side note: If you get a chance to experience the Twenty One Pilots Takeover Tour, please do yourself a favor and buy your tickets now! Unreal!!!
