- 052 - Dive In Head-First
In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares the story of his new friends, Jake and Meredith. Jake and Meredith are a young adult couple who model exactly what it looks like to dive head-first into life, calling, and community. There's so much we can learn from this young couple and how they approach life together. In a world that says we should do what's safe, comfortable, and easy, the road less traveled is often the far harder, but far more fulfilling road. Travis compares Jake and Meredith's journey to his own, and shines the light on how poorly he and his wife Sarah did it. Here's the moral of today's story: be a Jake and Meredith....not a Travis and Sarah!!

10 min - 051 - True Generosity is a Two-Way Street
We believe in generosity! In fact, it's one of the foundations of our work and our own personal lives. There's one problem: when we start to become generous, we tend to condition ourselves to deny the generosity of others. After all, I am the generous person. I am the one blessing others. I don't NEED anything from anyone. Pride starts to take over and we find ourselves slamming the door of generosity on other people. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why true generosity needs to flow both ways. Accepting the generosity of others is hard, but it's vital for us to do as part of our own generosity journey......as well as the journey of the person giving us the gift. So yeah, go be super generous......but also humbly and gratefully accept the generosity of others!!

11 min - 050 - Life, In Seasons
We often perceive our current reality as a permanent state of being. When things get tough, it’s easy to believe this is just our new reality. Good news: it’s not! In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the concept of looking at life as a series of seasons. Good seasons, bad seasons, easy seasons, challenging seasons. Often multiple seasons at the same time. When we can view life in this way, it has a two-fold benefit: 1) it can help us persevere through the tough stuff, and 2) it helps us cherish and savor the current season we are in.

17 min - 049 - Pile of Cash Test
Whether we want to believe it or not, using debt has many psychological and emotional effects, and it alters our decision-making process. We think it’s a clever tool to do what we would have otherwise done anyway, but with extra side benefits. However, it’s not that simple. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains the psychological warfare we subject ourselves to by using debt, and one very simple way we can combat it.

12 min - 048 - Memories Over Things
Most fun things we can spend money on fall into one of two categories: memories or things. Experiences or possessions. Doing things or having things. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton makes his case for why memories are always better than things. It's not to say things are bad, but given the choice, memories win every single time. Younger Millennials and Gen-Z already know this to be true, but it tends to (unfairly) get held against them. This is one of the big reasons why we love young adults so much! We believe we can all learn from them on this topic. Now, go create some memories!

15 min - 047 - Don't Compare Your Beginning to Someone Else's Middle
Do you ever find yourself comparing yourself to someone else and wish you were as far along as them? Whew, we're glad we weren't the only ones! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares a lesson he learned from Jon Acuff about keeping things in perspective. It's easy to (unfairly) look at someone else's accomplishments and feel like we aren't good enough, but we forget about the fact these people are usually further ahead of us on their journey. Therefore, it's only natural they are further ahead.....and that's ok. What most of us need is a reset in perspective, and hopefully today's episode will provide something to think about as you work to reset yours.

11 min - 046 - When You Stop Caring About Money
Can we be honest? We really don’t care about money. Seriously. It may seem ironic for a financial podcast to explicitly state they don’t care about money, but it’s true. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he really doesn’t care about money…..and the four primary (and awesome) repercussions that naturally happen when you stop caring about money. This will most certainly be a counter-cultural episode, so we hope you enjoy.

21 min - 045 - Forget The World, Spend YOUR Values
One of the biggest psychological hurdles we face with money is we subconsciously spend our money in accordance with the world's values. When we do this, it robs us of our joy because we are spending money on things that don't truly add value to our lives. Every time we spend a dollar on something we don't care about, it's one less dollar we get to spend on something we do care about. The repercussions can be as deep as they are wide. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton emphasizes the importance of spending in accordance to YOUR values, and tries to reframe the discussion through a different lens. If we can embrace this concept, it will be far easier to disregard the judging and criticism we receive from friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and random people on social media.

19 min - 044 - Embarrassing Happens
Sometimes we make mistakes, screw up, let people down, and embarrass ourself. It happens to all of us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton confesses in real-time about making two embarrassing mistakes in the same day. These mistakes are equally as embarrassing to talk about as they are to make in the first place, so why not just discuss them publicly with thousands of our closest friends?!? Travis shares his story, gives some perspective on making mistakes, and gives some tangible steps to work through them. It's not a matter of IF we're going to make mistakes, but rather WHEN. We hope today shines some light on this topic, and can perhaps take the stigma away from the false notion we need to do this stuff perfectly all the time.
