Welcome! This is my first attempt (second really) at starting my own podcast. I was very excited, as you might be able to tell by my pace of talking. I think I have a lot of exciting information to share in this podcast including some bits from Atomic Habits, by James Clear, a bit of info from Higher Up podcast, with Michael Smoak, and some of my own insights.

I love to talk, grow, and spark inspiration into the minds of people who share similar aspirations in life. Join me as we try to get better together, every day!

Leave me a message on X (twitter) @trav_martin25 if you like, dislike, or want to provide some constructive feedback about the podcast. Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks, Travis

Listen in to learn more about why homework may not be what you think it is.
