- 378 - We Will Justify Any Purchase: The Importance of Being Honest With Ourselves
Never underestimate a human’s ability to justify any purchase he/she wants to make. Regardless of how impractical, unaffordable, and detrimental it may be to our lives, we’ll find a way to justify it. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton shares some recent versions of this he’s seen, and how we can combat this phenomenon in our own lives.

13 min - 377 - Pushing Through WHEN Life Happens, Not IF Life Happens
It’s generally easy to push forward toward our goals when things are going well. Momentum is on our side, we see meaningful progress, and we feel in control. However, that’s not always how life works out. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton parallels the story of Tyler Joseph (Twenty One Pilots) and one of his coaching clients. When adversity strikes, we need to ensure our mission is important enough to keep fighting; otherwise, we whither. Is your mission critical enough for you to push through even when the difficulties of life get in your way?

13 min - 376 - Living With Margin: The Intentional Act of Giving Yourself Freedom
In today’s raw and unedited episode, host Travis Shelton talks about the importance of living with margin. This concept applies to our finances, work, and personal lives. It’s so easy to push ourselves to the limit and feel like we’re genreally in a good place. However, it only takes one unexpected event to push us over the edge and into a tough situation. Instead, if we intentionally choose to live with margin, we’ll feel far more freedom and be ready to absorb whatever life sends our way.

15 min - 375 - Ignore the Noise: Your Investing Patience is ALWAYS Rewarded
Do you remember when the stock market started “crashing” in late July and early August? People began freaking out and making rash decisions about their investments. We addressed this in two separate episodes (linked below). As always, ignoring the noise was the best strategy. The stock market just hit new all-time highs, and those who remained calm and patient during the recent volatility were greatly rewarded. This is how investing is supposed to work. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the recent turn of events and its broader implications to you, your investments, and how you can/should approach investing in the years to come.

12 min - 369 - But What Will You Give Up?: Why No Decision is Free
Every action causes a reaction. Each time we make a financial decision to add an expense, it requires a corresponding decision to decrease a different expense. When we look at our finances through that lens, it fundamentally changes how we approach our decisions. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explores this idea with examples from his coaching, as well as his family’s journey. If we approach our money with this posture, we’ll make better, more meaningful, and value-added decisions for our families.
