- 022 - Prioritizing Financial (and Life) Goals
It can be really hard to prioritize our financial goals in life. This is true for everyone, but especially so for young adults. After all, young adults are experiencing many significant life changes......and life is moving fast! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the 10 things we can do to help us successfully prioritize the right goals for YOU. You may not nail all 10 of these, but if we can get some of these right, it can really help us as we work to pursue a life of meaning. Always remember, money is NEVER about money. It's always about something bigger. When we keep that in mind, our spending can truly add value to our life and be a blessing to our journey.

16 min - 021 - Why You Shouldn't Do Your Own Taxes
Hot Take: We don't think you should do your own taxes. We think it's one of the biggest financial mistakes most people make. We know, we know...this is a controversial perspective. But we hope you'll at least hear us out before rejecting this notion. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why it's a typically a mistake when we decide to do our own taxes. He explains the risks of doing so, as well as the upsides of having a quality tax professional. This is a huge decision, and one of the biggest missed opportunities in our financial lives.

17 min - 016 - The Toxic Notion Everyone Should Aspire to be Their Own Boss
More and more, especially with the prevalence of social media, there's a narrative in our culture that everyone should aspire to be their own boss. "Stop building someone else's dream and start building your own." "You can't become wealthy working for someone else." In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses what he thinks about this narrative. You can probably tell from the episode title that we aren't a fan, but let's talk about why! And while we're at it, let's clarify the real goal here: live a life of meaning. That looks different for everyone, and therefore, everyone's journey and "right" career path looks different.

14 min - 015 - Dealing With Criticism On Your Journey (Especially From the Ones You Love the Most)
Whenever we decide to take a career path that's counter-cultural, criticism is surely near. The crappy part is it often comes from those who we love and trust the most. Making tough decisions is hard enough by itself, never mind adding hurtful comments, doubt, and criticism by people we expected would support us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares some of his own experience with criticism and provides some simple but effective ways to navigate it in your own journey. Often, this criticism is a bigger hurdle to overcome than the huge goals we set for ourselves. So let's face this head-on, navigate it well, and get about the business of living a life of meaning!

Travis is coming in hot in this episode! Money is NEVER about money. It’s always about something bigger.

17 min - 013 - The Myth of Stock Picking “Experts”: Our Little Experiment May Surprise You!!
We find ourselves in this strange reality where everyone is a stock picking “expert”......or so it seems. In this episode, host Travis Shelton attempts to shine a light on the real truth about picking stocks. Are people really this good, or would they be just as good (or better) by picking stocks at random? Let’s find out! This episode includes an appearance by Meaning Over Money co-founder Cole Netten, where he shows off his investing chops. This episode (and our little science experiment) may surprise you!!
If you want to try our little experiment for yourself, here's a list of the S&P 500 stocks we used: https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500. Then, go to your favorite stock app/website and find the "1-year" data for each of your picks. 3-year and 5-year data can be fun as well. Add up the percentage gain for each of your picks, divide by the number of picks you had, a there you have it! That would be your result.
