Travis and producer Eric break down the real skills behind meaningful networking, from first impressions and handshakes to group text intros and double opt-ins. They explore how to treat “networking” like making real friends, why bad introductions can damage trust, and how to thoughtfully connect people in a way that actually adds value. This episode is a tactical, relatable guide to becoming someone others are genuinely glad to meet and be introduced to. On this episode we talk about: Why basic body language, eye contact, and a simple “Hi, I'm Travis” beat over-rehearsed pitches when you meet someone new. How to navigate handshakes, daps, and hugs without creating awkward moments (or accidental crotch-hand sandwiches). Why networking events feel sleazy when you treat them like in‑person cold calling and how to shift into genuine curiosity and friendship-building. The right way to stay in touch—why business cards usually suck, and why Instagram or phone numbers are better for real follow‑up. How to make introductions the right way using “double opt‑in” intros, proper context, and thoughtful framing so both people feel respected and excited. Top 3 Takeaways Great first impressions are mostly about energy, body language, and making people feel good—not delivering the perfect elevator pitch. Treat networking like making friends: ask genuine questions, listen closely, look for common ground, and resist the urge to immediately pitch or sell. Introductions are powerful value-adds only when you get consent from both sides and frame the connection with context that makes each person look like the best version of themselves. Notable Quotes “People won't remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel after meeting you.” “Going to events and treating every human like a prospect is the fastest way to make sure nobody actually wants to talk to you.” “Always get the double opt‑in on intros—otherwise you're not adding value, you're just creating awkward obligations for your friends.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Jimmy Rex is a top-producing former real estate agent who closed over 400 transactions in his final year in the business and built a portfolio of more than 50 investment properties. He now runs “We Are The They,” a men's mastermind and leadership group focused on helping high-performing entrepreneurs build better lives, not just bigger businesses, through experiences, coaching, and community. Jimmy is known for his relentless work ethic, his willingness to say what others won't, and his ability to both make money and put it to work through disciplined investing. On this episode we talk about: Growing up broke, getting the entrepreneurial itch early, and how selling lemonade and T‑shirts as a kid shaped Jimmy's sales mindset. Using a Mormon mission and door‑to‑door meat sales as “the world's greatest sales training program” and how that translated into real estate success. The exact prospecting systems, scripts, and daily routines that took Jimmy from a few closings to 60–98 homes per year and 400+ annual transactions with his team. Why most agents and entrepreneurs hide in “creative avoidance,” how to fall in love with boring consistency, and why a ruthless 3‑hour daily prospecting block changes everything. Lessons from losing big in private deals, why Jimmy now favors index funds and real estate over chasing “sexy” investments, and how he'd rebuild from zero in 2–3 years through sales. Top 3 Takeaways Boring, consistent effort beats talent; a simple plan executed every day—like 3 hours of focused prospecting—will outperform almost everyone who won't do the work. Sales is the most portable money-making skill; if you can sell and you're willing to outwork others, you can rebuild your life in any market or industry. For most people, slow and steady investing in real estate and broad index funds will outperform gambling on private deals, meme coins, or “hot” opportunities driven by FOMO. Notable Quotes “Successful people have merely learned to do the things that unsuccessful people don't want to do.” “Fall in love with the monotonous routine; the grind itself has to be the win, not just the outcome.” “If you're not making at least 200 grand a year, your best investment isn't the stock market—it's your own skills and your network.” Connect with Jimmy Rex: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyrex Twitter/X: https://x.com/JimmyRex Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjimmyrex ✖️✖️✖️✖️
Travis sits down with his producer Eric for a fun, practical breakdown of whether speaking at events is actually worth it for entrepreneurs and creators. From horror-movie cold opens to hard-nosed math on time, travel, and ROI, this episode digs into when to say yes to a stage, when to walk away, and how to think about “paid to speak” vs “pay to speak” opportunities in a sane, strategic way. On this episode we talk about: Whether speaking at events is a vanity play or a real growth lever for your business How your goals (professional speaker vs business owner vs personal brand builder) change the calculus on saying yes to a stage The tradeoffs between local, niche rooms and big stages with thousands of people Hidden costs of speaking—travel, lost work time, opportunity cost—and how to factor them in When it can actually make sense to pay to be on stage and how to evaluate those offers like ad spend Top 3 Takeaways Speaking is almost always valuable if it aligns with a clear goal—professional speaking, lead gen, or brand building—but not every stage is worth your time. Quality of the room (who's in the audience, who's hosting, who's backstage) beats quantity of people; a small room of serious buyers can outperform a crowd of thousands. Paying to be on stage isn't inherently a scam—it's a marketing decision; you need clear numbers, clear expectations, and a plan to work the room and follow up afterward. Notable Quotes "It depends on your goal—if you want to be a professional speaker, you should be on any stage that'll have you." "Sometimes 22 multi-millionaires in a small room are a better use of time than 2,000 random people in an arena." "Once you're paying to speak, it's not magic anymore—it's just ad spend, and you've got to treat it like a marketing channel." ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this solo-style episode, Travis sits down with his producer Eric for an introspective conversation using the “rocking chair test,” a thought experiment where you imagine advice from your much older self at the end of your life. Instead of featuring an external guest, this episode turns the spotlight on Travis's own mindset around regret, failure, and what he wishes he'd stop (and keep) doing in business and life. On this episode we talk about: How the “rocking chair test” helps you see your current life from the perspective of your 88–108-year-old self Why most people regret what they didn't do more than what they did “wrong” Travis's tendency to downplay wins, fixate on failures, and how that has held him back How his upbringing and internalized beliefs still shape his self-talk and response to criticism The story of building a 7-figure business, losing it, and struggling to own his successes afterward Why podcasting is the thing he's most proud he stuck with, despite years of low direct financial return The tension between chasing novelty and doubling down on what you're genuinely great at Using your future self as a filter to judge fears about embarrassment, judgment, and starting over How meditating on death and limited time can create urgency to take bigger swings now Top 3 Takeaways Your future self will almost always regret the risks you never took more than the attempts that didn't work out. Fixating on failures while dismissing your wins can quietly cap your potential, even when you've built real results. Doubling down on your core strengths for income, while using side projects to satisfy curiosity and novelty, is a powerful way to build both wealth and fulfillment. Notable Quotes "I tend to significantly downplay the successes I've had and highlight the failures I've had, and that's held me back in a lot of ways." "People on their deathbed usually regret the things they didn't do far more than the things they did that didn't work out." "Life is short, and in 200 years none of this will matter—so why not just go for it and take another big swing?" ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, part of our Building Better Foundations season, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche sit down with Mark Struczewski, better known as Mister Productivity. His passion is helping people get unstuck—whether through time management, clarity, or intentional focus. And in today's always-on environment, staying focused is one of the biggest challenges professionals face. The first half of our interview explores distraction awareness, practical habits, and foundational techniques for staying focused in a world full of interruptions. About Mark Struczewski Today, we're joined by Mark Struczewski—pronounced STRU-CHESS-KEY—better known as Mister Productivity. This Houston-based coach and host of the Mister Productivity™ Podcast, with over 1,340 episodes and thousands of downloads, equips busy professionals to crush overwhelm and reclaim focus. Drawing on his corporate grit and daily running discipline, Mark shares his proven 'Distraction Detox' framework to turn digital chaos into high-impact action. Please welcome Mark! Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, SnapChat How Mister Productivity Built His Approach to Staying Focused Mark didn't begin his career expecting to teach productivity. After being fired from his corporate job in 2005, he tried entrepreneurship through wedding photography—an attempt he freely admits "bombed." But that failure revealed something more important: he loved teaching, coaching, and speaking. A mentor eventually encouraged him to lean into his natural strengths. Mark hadn't realized his productivity habits were unusual until someone pointed them out. Over the years, he connected those habits back to the discipline his parents instilled—do your work, do it right, and do it on time. Productivity Starts with Foundations: Many of the skills required for staying focused begin with simple, consistent discipline—not complicated tools. The Distraction Detox: A Practical Path Toward Staying Focused Mark's "Distraction Detox" is one of his simplest yet most powerful techniques. It starts with awareness—because most people don't realize how often they're pulled off track. The exercise: Keep a small notepad or a simple notes app. Write down every single distraction as it happens. Delivery trucks Barking dogs Random thoughts Alerts and notifications Within minutes, people typically discover just how fragmented their attention has become. We're not just distracted—we're constantly distracted, and often subconsciously. You Can't Improve What You Don't See: Awareness is the first step in staying focused. What You Can Control When Staying Focused Once you have captured your distractions, the next step is to separate what you can influence from what you can't. Outside your control: Neighbor noise Construction Delivery schedules Within your control: Your pets When you schedule deep work Workspace layout Visibility (like closing blinds so pets don't react to movement) Even small adjustments can dramatically improve your ability to stay focused. The goal isn't perfection—it's reducing friction. Why Analog Tools Can Help With Staying Focused Mark strongly recommends using analog tools during focus sessions. Phones and computers invite distraction, even when you "just need to write something down." An analog notepad avoids all the digital temptations. During deep work: Capture any random idea on the notepad Flip it over Continue working After the session and after taking a break, revisit the list. You'll often find that many of the items no longer matter. Most Thoughts Lose Importance After a Break: Analog tools keep you focused without triggering digital distractions. A Simple Self-Check for Staying Focused Not every distraction is obvious. Sometimes you drift into another task without realizing it. Mark offers a quick self-check that prevents accidental derailment: "Is this what I'm supposed to be doing right now?" This three-second pause helps reset your attention and prevents you from going too far down an unintended path. Start Small: The Easiest Way to Support Staying Focused Mark believes that simplicity beats complexity. Trying to adopt a dozen productivity hacks at once leads to overwhelm. Instead, he recommends choosing one small habit: Tracking distractions Using a notepad Asking the self-check question Taking short walking breaks Simplifying your workflow Once that becomes consistent, add another layer. That's how durable, long-term focus is built. Coming Up in Part 2: More Strategies for Staying Focused In part two of our interview with Mister Productivity, we dive deeper into routines, foundational habits, and practical systems that help reduce distraction and increase focus.

The BETTER Women research team gathered to review their findings, hoping to see clear evidence that peer health coaching improved women's preventative health behaviours. But the results told suggested a more complex story. While the quantitative data showed no statistically significant benefit from adding peer health coaches to the program, the qualitative interviews revealed a different picture: participants and coaches described meaningful relationships, increased confidence, and genuine support that simply weren't captured in the measured outcomes. In this episode, we sit in on the research team's candid debrief as they work through disappointing numbers, examine what might have gone wrong, and discover valuable insights about the gap between what researchers measure and what participants actually value. From volunteer bias to pandemic pivots to goals that don't fit neatly into outcome frameworks, this is an honest look at what happens when research doesn't go as planned—and why mixed or disappointing results are just as important as clear successes.

Dr. Michelle K. Johnston is a bestselling author, top executive coach, and leadership professor at Loyola University New Orleans who specializes in connection-driven leadership. She's the author of The Seismic Shift in Leadership and the new book The Seismic Shift in You, co-written with legendary coach Marshall Goldsmith, where she unpacks seven powerful shifts leaders must make to deepen connection and drive results in an AI-driven world. On this episode we talk about: Michelle's first “real” dollar, early jobs at Fuddruckers and a cookie shop, and what they taught her about people and money Why high-volume, people-facing jobs (restaurants, sales, customer service) are underrated training grounds for success The core ideas behind The Seismic Shift in Leadership and The Seismic Shift in You How AI and digital overload are changing leadership—and why “productivity without connection equals emptiness” The loneliness epidemic, why entrepreneurs (especially men) are so isolated, and how to intentionally build community Practical ways leaders can rewire meetings, calendars, and priorities around connection The concept of “connection dinners” and why entrepreneurs should curate rooms where people actually get real Top 3 Takeaways Connection is the new competitive advantage. Old-school command-and-control leadership no longer works; leaders who build cultures of connection outperform by creating trust, psychological safety, and real loyalty. You must connect with yourself first. If your own cup is empty—no self-care, no boundaries, no time on your calendar for what matters—you won't have the energy or presence to build meaningful relationships at work or at home. Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be lonely. By intentionally building community—through curated spaces, small-group dinners, and regular in-person connection—entrepreneurs can combat isolation and create the kind of support that fuels both impact and income. Notable Quotes "Productivity without connection equals emptiness." "You're not good at connecting with anybody unless you first prioritize yourself." "If your most important relationships aren't on your calendar, they're not really your priorities."

Fernando Angelucci is a self-storage investor and syndicator who's transacted on over $200M worth of self-storage facilities across dozens of states in just six years. After starting in house painting, flipping, and multifamily, he ditched the “three T's” (tenants, toilets, trash) and went all-in on self storage, where he now specializes in wholesaling, value-add deals, and creative seller-financed structures—while spending most of the year living abroad. On this episode we talk about: Fernando's journey from immigrant parents and a Fortune 50 corporate job to full-time real estate investor How he used 60 credit cards and $97K in high-interest debt to launch his flipping business (and why he doesn't recommend it) Why he pivoted from flipping and rentals into self storage and what makes the asset class so attractive How to wholesale self-storage deals step-by-step, from building lists to skip tracing to talking with owners The key underwriting metrics he uses (supply index, price per square foot, occupancy, and competition) How he structures creative seller-financed deals (multiple offer structures, master lease options, and more) The importance of reps, rejection, accountability, and public goals in getting your first deal done Top 3 Takeaways Self storage is a powerful, scalable niche. With roughly two-thirds of facilities owned by mom-and-pop operators, there's a massive opportunity to buy under-managed properties, modernize operations (web presence, pricing, tech), and quickly increase NOI. Wholesaling self storage is a low-capital way to start. By buying data, skip tracing owners, building relationships, and assigning contracts, you can generate large fees without taking title or raising huge amounts of capital—while learning the business from inside the deal flow. Creative financing unlocks deals banks won't touch. By really listening to an owner's “why” (retirement income, grandkids' tuition, travel), you can craft seller-financed structures, second-position notes, and master leases that solve their problem and allow you to acquire cash-flowing assets with minimal money down. Notable Quotes “Once you get comfortable with people saying no and failure, then you just realize it's reps. That's all you gotta do—reps.” “If you're always 100% full, that's not a good thing in self storage. It means your rents are too low.” “Too many people rush to get a contract. Slow down and find the why behind the why—then structure the deal around that.” Connect with Fernando Angelucci: Website / Investing: https://ssse.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestoragestud ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Travis is joined by his producer Eric for a rapid‑fire, no‑guest episode built around funny, candid questions about purchases, regrets, and money habits. Eric keeps Travis on his toes, pushing him to “bring the receipts” on everything from embarrassing Amazon orders to the masterminds and franchises he has invested in. On this episode we talk about: The most embarrassing Amazon purchases Travis would hate to see leaked. Under‑$50 buys (like “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant”) that genuinely improved his life. The pricey Vegas group dinner he barely ate at and instantly regretted. Subscriptions and trials (sports, streaming, live TV) that keep renewing long after they're useful. “Boring” purchases like chargers, docks, and phone accessories that quietly deliver value every day. Early‑20s mistakes like buying a brand‑new car versus a lightly used one. How much money Travis has ultimately spent with past podcast guests through masterminds, investments, and franchises. Top 3 Takeaways Paying for experiences or group status you do not actually enjoy (like a late‑night Vegas dinner you barely touch) is one of the fastest ways to waste money and energy. The best purchases are often unsexy: books that change how you think, tech that reduces daily friction, and used cars that avoid the steepest depreciation curve. Recurring subscriptions and “free trials” can quietly drain thousands over time, so using reminders, assistants, or apps to cancel aggressively is a simple but powerful money move. Notable Quotes "It felt like I paid $100 a bite for that dinner—and I still left hungry." "I used to think eating out was a splurge; now the real flex is not wasting cash on stuff that doesn't move the needle." "Money only solves your money problems, but it is a lot easier to solve everything else when you actually have some in the bank." ✖️✖️✖️✖️
Jesse and Gabi Merl are a married power couple who rebuilt from bankruptcy and six-figure student loan debt to consistent multi–six-figure months through content, social selling, and smart investing. Jesse is a multi-exit tech entrepreneur turned YouTube creator behind “Jesse ON FIRE,” while Gabi is a hormone and cortisol-focused coach and social seller who built a thriving business from scratch using short-form content. On this episode we talk about: How Jesse went from teen restaurant jobs to real estate, loans, a sports gaming startup, and ultimately a brutal acquisition that wiped out his stock and forced bankruptcy What it was like for Gabi to be pregnant with their third child, unable to practice acupuncture in a new state, and staring down six-figure student loans while deciding to jump into social selling How they rebuilt from absolute zero to over $140K/month in combined income by focusing on liquid wealth, real estate, and avoiding flashy lifestyle creep The content strategies behind “Jesse ON FIRE” and Gabi's Instagram/TikTok growth: niche selection, volume, repelling to attract, and showing up as an amplified version of yourself on camera Why most creators fail because they underestimate the time horizon (at least a year) and posting volume required before platforms reward them with real reach Top 3 Takeaways Rebuilding from zero is possible if you're willing to kill your ego, take the “soul-sucking” job when necessary, and then methodically build leverage through content and business again. Platforms reward consistency and volume; think in terms of posting multiple times per day for months, not a few posts per month, and commit to at least a year before expecting meaningful traction. The fastest way to stand out is to be specific: know your avatar, be willing to repel the wrong audience to attract the right one, and tell your story like you're talking to close friends—just slightly amplified for the camera. Notable Quotes "You have to repel to attract; if no one is a little mad, no one is truly magnetized to you." "The platforms are testing if you're going to be a consistent creator before they give you reach." "Content is just building relationships at scale—one story, one reaction, one video at a time."

On this episode, Travis Chappell sits down with his producer Eric for a fun but revealing “check your contacts” game that exposes how much your network shapes your opportunities, decisions, and problem-solving capacity. Instead of focusing on tactics alone, they use real names from Travis's phone to unpack what makes a relationship actually valuable beyond social proof or status. On this episode we talk about: The one professional contact Travis would keep if he had to delete everyone else from his phone Who he'd bet $1,000 will pick up the phone every time he calls Which friend he hasn't talked to in years but knows would still show up if he needed help The first “celebrity” and first true household-name contact that made his network feel different Who he'd choose as his only coach if he had to start a new business tomorrow The worst “client” call of his career and the red flags it revealed The best call he's ever received and how it turned into a defining podcast interview moment Why your network multiplies your ability to solve problems, Henry Ford–style Top 3 Takeaways A contact is only as valuable as their willingness to respond; reliability and generosity matter more than fame or follower count. Strong relationships built over years—even with long gaps in communication—can still be some of the most dependable when life or business goes sideways. Your network is a force multiplier: like Henry Ford and modern ultra-learners, you do not need to know everything yourself if you can quickly reach people who are true experts in their domains. Notable Quotes "Your contacts are only as good as the people who actually text back and pick up when it counts." "You can solve bigger and more complex problems when you know who to call, not just what to do." "Your contact list will largely dictate how successful and how helpful you are in life—so don't neglect the work of building real relationships." ✖️✖ ✖️

The hottest season is nearly upon us, with Summer kicking off very soon. And with the heat on the way, it's likely water restrictions are on the way as well. So how can you save some water this summer? Kate Hall has a few tips: Reuse greywater wisely. e.g. Collect shower warm-up water in a bucket and use it in the garden. Place a bowl in the sink when rinsing fruit/veggies (use this water for watering plants). Water plants early or late (watering in the cool hours (morning or evening) stops evaporation). Focus on roots, not leaves; plants absorb moisture where it matters. Shorten your showers. Aim for a 4-minute shower; try playing one short song as your timer. A water-efficient showerhead can cut usage by up to 50%. Capture and reuse (keep a bucket near the washing machine or outside to catch rinse water). Wait for full loads: Run washing machines and dishwashers only when full. One less cycle can save 50–100 litres a week. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

French-Canadian real estate investor, designer, and developer Natalie Cloutier shares how she and her husband Rob went from broke 20-year-olds in a basement condo to building 50+ rental units and a multimillion-dollar portfolio using a no-money-down build-to-rent strategy. With a background in architectural technology and a focus on new construction, Natalie has turned sweat equity and creative financing into a full-time business, and recently distilled her approach into her book, “The Build-to-Rent Strategy: A Guide to a Successful Rental Property Construction.” On this episode we talk about: How Natalie and Rob built their first home and basement rental suite with essentially $0 down using sweat equity and construction financing The mechanics of build-to-rent/“BRRR 2.0”: Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat—and how it differs from the traditional BRRR strategy What work they took on themselves vs. what they always hired out (electrical, drywall, finishes vs. structural, foundation, and plumbing) Why they prefer smaller infill projects like six-plexes instead of large, high-risk developments with heavy permitting costs How they manage leverage, cash flow targets per door, and why they're choosing to pause, de-stress, and reassess what “enough” looks like after a decade of grinding Top 3 Takeaways You do not always need 20% down to get into real estate—using construction-to-perm style loans, sweat equity, and smart design, you can create deals by building rather than competing for existing inventory. Staying intentionally underleveraged and focusing on real cash flow per unit is often safer than chasing maximum refinancing or unit count, especially in volatile interest-rate environments. Your portfolio should support your life, not the other way around; periodically pausing to evaluate stress, health, and family priorities is just as important as growing doors or equity. Notable Quotes "We didn't have money, so instead of buying someone else's house, we built our own and used our work as the down payment." "BRRR 2.0 is the same idea as BRRR, but instead of ‘Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat,' it's ‘Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.'" "It's not about how many units you own; it's about how much money those properties actually make and whether the grind is worth it for your life."

Canada's PM Carney Pursues China Trade Ties Despite Warnings of Beijing's Malign Influence and Elite Capture— Charles Burton — Burton analyzes Prime Minister Carney's efforts to strengthen trade relations with China, potentially to offset escalating tensions with the U.S. Burton suggests Carney assumes China will reward policy concessions by opening its markets, though historical precedent demonstrates China routinely offers empty promises. Burton expresses concern that the government is delaying implementation of a Foreign Influence Registry to appease Beijing, enabling continued espionage, infiltration operations, and the "elite capture" of Canadian policy makers. 1963
In this episode, Travis and producer Eric react to a viral video from Vivian Tu (“Your Rich BFF”) breaking down three popular “get rich quick” strategies that actually cost most people money: whole life insurance as an investment, day trading, and “passive” side hustles like wholesale real estate, Amazon dropshipping, and affiliate marketing. They use the clip as a springboard to talk about discipline, risk, and why most people should stick to simple, boring money moves instead of gambling their future on complex schemes they barely understand. Top 3 Takeaways For most people, the simplest play—buy term life insurance for protection and invest consistently in diversified, long-term stock market holdings—beats complicated insurance and trading schemes. Day trading is statistically stacked against you; unless you treat it like gambling with true “play money,” your odds of long-term success are far worse than just buying and holding quality assets. “Passive income” buzzwords around real estate, dropshipping, and affiliate marketing hide the reality that these are real businesses requiring time, effort, and often capital—especially when you're just getting started. Notable Quotes "If you're just starting out, whole life and infinite banking shouldn't even be on your radar—it's a distraction sold hard because the commissions are huge." "Don't pretend you're an expert trader when even the best hedge fund managers in the world tell you not to time the market." "People keep looking at these advanced strategies as the thing that'll make them rich, instead of realizing they only really make sense once you're already rich."
Rachel Zaslansky Sheer and Lori Zuker Briller are the co-founders of The Grapevine, a premier corporate and domestic staffing firm known for placing top-tier talent with high-profile executives, households, and leading companies. With 20+ years of recruiting experience across entertainment, tech, finance, real estate, fashion, and more, they've built a referral-driven “job matchmaking” agency and recently coauthored “Straight From the Grapevine: How to Crush Your Job Search,” a practical guide to modern career strategy and job hunting. Their backgrounds as former entertainment assistants and development executives give them a rare, inside-out view of both sides of the hiring table—what makes candidates stand out and what employers actually need. Top 3 Takeaways Early, “small” jobs matter: they build work ethic, professionalism, and people skills that compound into better opportunities, references, and confidence later in your career. Great candidates treat every role like it matters—showing up with excellence, initiative, and a good attitude—because that's how you get noticed, recruited, and referred into the dream jobs you actually want. In today's noisy job market, understanding how recruiting really works, presenting a sharp résumé, and mastering basic etiquette (clear emails, context, professionalism) are major unfair advantages.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into breaking sports media news: ESPN and Penn Entertainment unwinding their $2 billion, 10-year ESPN Bet partnership just two years after launch and pivoting into a new multi-year deal with DraftKings. They unpack what this says about ESPN's fading dominance, DraftKings' position as the default sportsbook brand, and how Barstool founder Dave Portnoy continues to land on his feet after Penn sold Barstool back to him and rebranded to ESPN Bet. Along the way, they draw parallels to Disney's evolving “family-friendly” branding strategy, the broader shift from legacy TV to social-first sports media, and why product quality and user behavior matter more than just a big name. On this episode we talk about: The stunning early termination of the ESPN–Penn Entertainment $2B, 10-year ESPN Bet deal, effective December 1, 2025, after ESPN Bet failed to crack meaningful market share. Why ESPN Bet reportedly struggled to get above ~5% market share and never hit “top three” sportsbook status despite ESPN's massive brand and distribution. Penn's prior Barstool Sports era, regulatory pushback tied to Portnoy's persona, and how Penn sold Barstool back to Dave Portnoy as it pivoted to the ESPN Bet rebrand. Portnoy's reaction on his own show, why he thinks time will tell if this is a good move for DraftKings, and his hint that Disney CEO Bob Iger made unflattering comments about Barstool behind the scenes. How Disney's move from “no R-rated content” on Disney+ to hosting edgier, R-rated films via the Hulu integration shows a slow but real shift away from a strictly squeaky-clean image. Why even a giant like ESPN can't just slap its logo on a product and win—especially when users already love DraftKings and other established betting apps. The rise of social-native sports brands like House of Highlights and Barstool Sports, and how short-form content has replaced traditional SportsCenter viewing for many fans. Jake Paul's “Betr” (Better) and other creator-led betting and media plays, and how having the ear of younger fans changes the balance of power in sports media. Why product quality, UX, and habit lock-in often beat legacy branding, even when legacy outlets still dominate live rights and TV distribution. A quick detour into the best sports movies of all time—Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Warrior, Rocky, Moneyball, and more—and what they reveal about the nostalgia we still attach to sports storytelling. Top 3 Takeaways Big legacy brands like ESPN and Disney can no longer rely on their name alone; in crowded categories like sports betting, sticky products and fan-favorite platforms like DraftKings are extremely hard to displace. Controversial personalities like Dave Portnoy can create regulatory and brand headaches, but they also build cult followings and resilient IP—Barstool's rebound and Portnoy's “$1 buyback” remain a masterclass in leverage. The future of sports attention is social-first and creator-driven: fans increasingly get their highlights, hot takes, and sometimes even betting cues from digital-native brands rather than traditional TV networks.
Rod Khleif is a Dutch immigrant, multifamily investor, and high-performance mentor who has owned over 2,000 single-family homes and thousands of apartment units across the U.S. He hosts “Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing,” one of the largest commercial real estate podcasts, where he teaches investors how to use multifamily, senior housing, and other commercial assets to create long-term wealth. After watching his net worth jump $17 million in 2006 and then losing roughly $50 million in the 2008–09 crash, Rod rebuilt by focusing on mindset, goal setting, and identity work—turning that “seminar” into a blueprint he now shares with students worldwide. On this episode we talk about: Rod's journey from broke Dutch immigrant kid in Denver to watching his mom buy a $30,000 rental that appreciated $20,000 and realizing real estate could change his life. Getting his broker's license at 18, struggling for two years, then jumping to over $100k in income after discovering the power of mindset, psychology, and the right mentor. Building a massive portfolio of single-family and multifamily properties, seeing his net worth rise by $17 million in one year, and then losing around $50 million in the 2008 crash. How Rod reframed that loss as a “$50 million seminar,” refused to let real estate become his identity, and used aggressive goal setting and identity statements to rebuild. The current state of commercial real estate, including distressed multifamily deals due to interest rate shocks, emerging opportunity in senior housing/assisted living, and why he's cautious on office but bullish on other asset classes. Top 3 Takeaways Your business is just a vehicle—if it fails, you are not a failure; separating identity from outcomes is essential if you want to recover from big losses and take bigger swings. Clear, emotionally charged goals combined with “I am” identity statements and massive action create the momentum needed to push through fear, limiting beliefs, and comfort zones. Right now is a rare window for prepared buyers in commercial real estate and small business acquisitions, with distressed multifamily assets and retiring Baby Boomer owners creating outsized opportunities. Notable Quotes "They're only failures if you don't get back up—otherwise they're just very expensive seminars." "Anything you put the words ‘I am' in front of becomes an identity statement, and your life will rise or fall to match it." "Don't fear failure; fear regret—because not living the life you're capable of is the real nightmare." Connect with Rod Khleif: Rodkhleif.com Rodspodcast.com

In this episode, Travis Chappell dives into the mindset shifts that separate effective salespeople from those who plead for clients' attention. With a focus on the photography industry as a case study, he breaks down common mistakes creatives make when marketing their services and shares actionable strategies to connect authentically with clients. On this episode we talk about: The difference between pitching yourself and pleading for validation in business How creative entrepreneurs often overemphasize their personal passion in marketing Techniques to discover what clients truly want through effective questioning Why building trust can sometimes mean turning away business Applying sales lessons from photography to any industry Top 3 Takeaways Stop making your marketing about how much you love what you do—focus on the value you provide to clients. Ask questions first to uncover client pain points, then tailor your pitch to solve their specific problems. Building trust may require walking away from business that isn't a fit, which can lead to stronger opportunities later. Notable Quotes "At a certain point, it shifts from 'I love what I do' to 'hire me so I'll feel fulfilled,' and it can easily turn into ‘pick me.'" "Your craft speaks for itself—focus your conversations on the client's experience, not your personal fulfillment." "If you can better explain somebody's problem to them than they can, they'll automatically assume you have the solution." ✖️ ✖️ ✖️ ✖️
Most service business owners are asking the wrong question about AI. They're wondering "What can AI do for me?" when they should be asking "How can AI help me understand what my customers really need?" Dan, an AI systems expert who works with founders who refuse to blend in, sat down with us to flip the AI conversation on its head. His background in ministry and psychology gives him a unique lens on technology—one that puts human understanding first and automation second. The Hidden Gold Mine in Your Customer Conversations Here's what keeps most service business owners up at night: They know their customers are telling them valuable things, but there's simply not enough time to capture and act on all those insights. Dan shares how AI can analyze your customer interview transcripts and surface patterns you'd never catch manually—the repeated pain points, the subtle language your customers actually use, the themes that connect seemingly unrelated conversations. This isn't about replacing human judgment. It's about augmenting it so you can actually use all that customer wisdom you're currently leaving on the table. Your AI Project Manager (That Never Takes a Day Off) Forget the hype about AI replacing workers. Dan reveals how he uses AI as a personal project manager to stay organized, track priorities, and document daily wins—essentially creating a second brain that remembers everything you'd otherwise forget in the chaos of running a business. The key? Maintaining control. Dan walks through his process for continuously refining AI systems through "meta-prompting"—having the AI itself suggest improvements to how it serves you. It's like having an assistant who proactively figures out how to be more helpful. Real Results: The Valuation Firm Case Study Theory is nice, but results matter. Dan shares how he helped a valuation company transform their data extraction process from legal documents. The result? Dramatically increased team capacity without hiring. But here's what makes this different from typical automation stories: The AI handled the tedious extraction work so the humans could focus on the high-value analysis and client relationships. The business became more human-centered by letting AI handle the robotic parts. The Bottom Line for Service Business Leaders If you're running a service business, you're sitting on mountains of customer insights and drowning in administrative tasks. Dan's approach shows how AI can help you: Capture and act on customer feedback you're currently missingStay organized and strategic instead of constantly reactiveFree your team to do the work only humans can doScale your capacity without sacrificing the personal touch that makes you valuable The businesses that will win with AI aren't the ones that use it to remove humans from the equation. They're the ones who use it to make their teams more effective at understanding and serving customers. Want to explore how AI could work specifically in your service business? The conversation is just getting started. This episode is essential listening for any service business owner who's drowning in data, struggling to scale, or wondering how to use AI without losing the human touch that built their business.

Harry Harrison Young and the Jesse Scouts Lead Sheridan's Final Campaign — Patrick K. O'Donnell — After Blazer's capture, Harry Harrison Young led the Jesse Scouts, using Confederate disguises for reconnaissance. Scouts provided Phil Sheridan with real-time intelligence, serving as his "eyes." Young's scouts delivered critical strategic intelligence to Grant instead of going to Sherman. They identified weak points at Five Forks and interrupted Lee's supply trains, effectively sealing the Confederacy's retreat to Appomattox.
The Manhunt: Blazer Scouts vs. Mosby's Rangers and the Capture of Blazer — Patrick K. O'Donnell — Grant ordered Phil Sheridan to wage total war against partisans, though Sheridan only partially complied for political reasons. Following Mosby's devastating wagon raid, Richard Blazer and his scouts were equipped with Spencer carbines and tasked with hunting Mosby. After initial Union success, Mosby planned an ambush at Cabletown. Lewis Powell, one of Mosby's rangers and a future Lincoln conspirator, captured Blazer.
Jubal Early's Near-Capture of Washington and Mosby's Influence — Patrick K. O'Donnell — General Jubal Earlymarched on poorly defended Washington in summer 1864, aiming to capture the capital and liberate prisoners at Point Lookout. Early and Mosby disliked each other, hindering coordination. President Lincoln fearlessly stood on the parapet at Fort Stevens. Mosby's concurrent Calico raid severed B&O rail lines, cutting off Union reinforcements. Mosby conducted disciplined close-range engagements.
In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric delve into how Gen Z approaches financial advice, heavily relying on social media platforms for guidance. They discuss the impact of the lack of traditional financial education, how social media has democratized access to financial info, and the risks and benefits of following influencers online. The episode highlights generational differences in financial behavior, trust in advice sources, and the crucial role of critical thinking in navigating abundant but sometimes misleading digital financial content. On this episode we talk about: Gen Z's preference for social media as a source of financial advice over traditional education. The top platforms Gen Z uses for finance info: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), and Facebook. Most searched personal finance topics by Gen Z: budgeting, taxes, credit card debt, wealth building, and student loans. The prevalence of financial scams on social media and how it affects young people's trust. The importance of discerning credible advice from marketing and misinformation. Generational differences in financial interests and skepticism, especially regarding crypto and MLMs. Why building trust through consistent, unbiased financial content is crucial for long-term influence. Top trusted sources for financial advice: parents/family, financial institutions, and friends. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Social media is a dominant channel for Gen Z's financial education but requires strong critical thinking skills due to misinformation risk.2. Budgeting and credit card debt are central concerns for young people starting their financial journeys.3. Trusted advice still comes mainly from family and well-established financial institutions, highlighting the ongoing role of personal relationships. Notable Quotes "77% of Gen Z actively seek financial advice on social media, but a quarter have been scammed there." "Social media advice can be positive if you know how to sift through noise and marketing gimmicks." "Trust comes from giving consistent value without direct financial incentives."
