David Nurse is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and renowned NBA shooting coach who has worked with some of basketball's top athletes and organizations. After his dream of playing professional basketball ended, David reinvented himself by building a career around performance, mindset, and personal development. In this episode, Travis shares his biggest lessons from his conversation with David, covering everything from overcoming setbacks and building meaningful relationships to creating opportunities through relentless consistency and preparation. On this episode we talk about: How consistency over time creates long-term success Turning setbacks into new opportunities and career pivots Why credibility comes from doing the work before teaching it The role relationships play in creating career opportunities How preparation builds confidence and performance under pressure Top 3 Takeaways Consistency is the ultimate competitive advantage. Find something you're passionate about, learn from the best, provide value, and stay committed for years—not weeks or months. Every setback creates new opportunities. When one door closes, focusing on the possibilities ahead instead of dwelling on rejection can completely change your trajectory. Relationships create opportunities. Most career breakthroughs, partnerships, and life-changing opportunities come through people, not resumes or applications. Notable Quotes "Consistency over time is the most boring, yet the most powerful formula in existence." "When one door closes, four more doors open." "You have to do something first before anyone will pay to hear you talk about it."

Buck Joffrey is a former surgeon turned entrepreneur, real estate investor, and financial educator who has participated in more than $2 billion worth of real estate transactions. After training at UCSF and building a successful cosmetic surgery practice from scratch, Buck shifted his focus to real estate syndications, alternative investments, and financial education. As the host of the Wealth Formula Podcast and author of The 7 Secrets of Eternal Wealth, he helps high-income professionals take greater control of their finances and build long-term wealth through cash-flowing assets. On this episode we talk about: How Buck built a successful cosmetic surgery practice using aggressive marketing and entrepreneurship The difference between personal money and business money when scaling a company Why Buck transitioned from medicine into real estate investing and syndications How his podcast became the foundation for building an investor community and raising capital Why multifamily real estate may present a compelling opportunity in today's market Top 3 Takeaways Successful entrepreneurs understand that business spending should be evaluated based on return on investment, not personal spending habits. Building wealth often requires creating multiple streams of income and investing in cash-flow-producing assets rather than relying on a single source of income. Some of the best investment opportunities emerge when an asset class is out of favor—smart investors look for value rather than chasing what's currently popular. Notable Quotes "The more I'd spend, the more I'd make. So why not?" "Normal people money is not the same as business money." "When people go to the store, they look for what's on sale. But when they invest, for some reason the things on sale don't look attractive."

In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric dive into a timely discussion about leadership, public perception, and the way we judge people based on past decisions. Using the controversy surrounding reality TV star and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt as a jumping-off point, they explore whether personal financial mistakes, media narratives, and decades-old decisions should influence how we evaluate someone's ability to lead. The conversation touches on accountability, political messaging, media influence, and the importance of looking beyond surface-level headlines. On this episode we talk about: Whether personal financial decisions predict leadership ability The difference between managing personal money and public budgets How media narratives shape public opinion during elections Why people shouldn't be permanently judged by mistakes they made in their early twenties Critical thinking when evaluating political candidates and public figures Top 3 Takeaways Personal mistakes don't always predict future performance. People can learn, grow, and develop expertise from the very failures that once defined them. Correlation isn't causation. Spending personal money irresponsibly at age twenty-two isn't necessarily evidence that someone can't effectively manage an organization or public institution later in life. Media narratives often oversimplify complex issues. It's important to evaluate claims, data, and political talking points critically rather than accepting headlines at face value. Notable Quotes "I don't think anybody wants people judging us for the decisions we made when we were twenty-two." "A lot of times that inception point can be the thing that made them go fix it and learn how to manage money better." "The opportunities come from the relationships. Opportunities are given by people."

In this lighthearted episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into a viral TikTok controversy surrounding Applebee's popular all-you-can-eat promotion. What starts as a discussion about endless wings and dollar margaritas quickly turns into a broader conversation about customer expectations, value perception, gratitude, consumer behavior, and even childhood memories around eating out. Along the way, Travis and Eric share personal stories, business insights, and plenty of laughs about buffets, family dinners, and knowing when enough is enough. On this episode we talk about: The viral Applebee's all-you-can-eat complaint that sparked online debate Why customer expectations often shape satisfaction more than reality The business challenges of offering unlimited food promotions Childhood experiences with restaurants, buffets, and family dining traditions How overeating habits can carry into adulthood and affect long-term health Top 3 Takeaways Customer dissatisfaction often comes from unmet expectations, not necessarily from receiving poor value. Businesses need to carefully consider which types of customers their promotions attract and how those promotions impact profitability. Gratitude and perspective matter—sometimes it's worth appreciating a great deal rather than focusing on what could be slightly better. Notable Quotes "It's wild to complain about getting multiple plates of wings for fifteen dollars." "Don't put out specials or deals that attract the wrong customer type into your store." "If you're gonna go to an all-you-can-eat place, stop whining."

Tim Brown is a Heisman Trophy winner, Pro Football Hall of Famer, and one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history. Despite achieving the highest levels of success in football, Tim's journey wasn't fueled by natural talent alone. In this episode, Travis reflects on his conversation with Tim and shares powerful lessons on belief, discipline, resilience, and personal growth. From the impact of mentors to the importance of environment and consistent effort, Tim's story offers valuable insights that apply far beyond the football field. On this episode we talk about: How one person's belief can completely change the trajectory of your life Why hard work remains the ultimate competitive advantage Turning setbacks and injuries into opportunities for growth The role environment plays in shaping long-term success How discipline in small daily actions creates extraordinary results over time Top 3 Takeaways Sometimes the biggest breakthrough in your life comes from borrowing someone else's belief in your potential until you develop it yourself. Talent may open doors, but consistent hard work and discipline determine how far you'll ultimately go. Your environment—including the people around you and the information you consume—has a profound impact on the person you become. Notable Quotes "One person can believe in you enough to change how you believe in yourself." "Hard work is the one variable that everybody can control." "Discipline and hard work are a level playing field."

Jim Lebenthal, Chief Market Strategist at Cerity Partners, joins Travis to share lessons from more than 25 years of managing investment portfolios and advising clients through every type of market environment. A former U.S. Navy submarine officer and regular CNBC contributor, Jim brings a unique perspective on investing, discipline, risk management, and human behavior. Drawing from his new book, How to Ride the Subway, he explains why successful investing often comes down to patience, trust, and resisting the urge to outsmart the market. On this episode we talk about: How Jim's early experiences investing shaped his career in wealth management Lessons learned from serving as a nuclear submarine officer in the U.S. Navy Why trust, empathy, and communication are essential in financial advising The dangers of market timing, day trading, and speculative investing Current market conditions, inflation concerns, and the future of major AI-driven IPOs Top 3 Takeaways Long-term investing consistently outperforms attempts to time the market, and missing just a handful of the market's best days can dramatically reduce returns. Successful financial advisors build trust through empathy, honesty, and consistent communication—not just investment performance. Speculation and gambling often masquerade as investing, but true wealth creation comes from patience, discipline, and owning quality assets over time. Notable Quotes "Trust is the currency of the financial advisory world." "The best days in the market almost always happen right next to the worst days." "Trading rapidly is a good way to lose money."

Brendan Schaub is a former UFC heavyweight fighter turned entrepreneur, podcaster, content creator, and media personality. Best known as co-host of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan has continually reinvented himself throughout his career, transitioning from professional sports to comedy, podcasting, and multiple business ventures. In this episode, Brendan shares hard-earned lessons on pursuing work you genuinely enjoy, embracing difficult challenges, and building a loyal audience by staying consistent and serving a specific niche. On this episode we talk about: Why the best businesses often start with genuine passion rather than profit Knowing when to walk away from something you're good at but no longer enjoy The value of putting yourself in challenging environments that force growth Treating your podcast and content like a professional media company Why niche audiences often generate more revenue than massive audiences Top 3 Takeaways The most sustainable businesses are built around things you genuinely enjoy and would do even if there wasn't an immediate financial reward. Success often comes from placing yourself in difficult rooms where you're challenged to grow rather than staying comfortable as the biggest fish in a small pond. A smaller, highly targeted audience can be significantly more valuable than a large, general audience when it comes to monetization and business opportunities. Notable Quotes "Never start something just for the money. Start something because you'd do it for free." "Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it." "Treat your podcast like you work for ESPN."

In this candid and often hilarious conversation, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into one of the most controversial topics in technology today: AI-generated content and the growing trend of recreating deceased celebrities through artificial intelligence. Sparked by news that Stan Lee's voice and likeness have been licensed for AI-generated projects, the discussion explores the ethical implications of digital resurrection, creative authenticity, intellectual property, and what makes great art truly human. Along the way, Travis and Eric examine where AI can provide real value—and where it risks undermining the very creativity it claims to enhance. On this episode we talk about: The ethics of using AI to recreate deceased celebrities and public figures Why authentic human creativity is difficult to replicate with AI The difference between AI as a productivity tool versus a creative replacement How limitations, imperfections, and artistic interpretation contribute to great storytelling The future of entertainment, intellectual property, and digital likeness rights Top 3 Takeaways Technology should enhance human creativity, not replace the people who create meaningful art and stories. What makes iconic characters and performances memorable is often the unique interpretation that actors, writers, and creators bring to them—not perfect replication. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for research, analysis, and productivity, but ethical boundaries become far more complicated when it begins speaking, acting, or creating on behalf of real people. Notable Quotes "What makes all the cameos cool is that it was actually Stan Lee on set doing them." "Part of what's cool about movies is the things that they did in spite of it not being perfect." "The biggest problem with AI is people."

David Leiter, author of Stop Making Stupid Investments and founder of The Ultimate Investor, joins Travis to share lessons from more than 30 years of investing in stocks and multifamily real estate. After experiencing both financial success and painful investment mistakes, David developed a disciplined approach inspired by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. In this conversation, he breaks down the difference between productive and speculative assets, explains why so many investors lose money chasing trends, and shares timeless principles that can help everyday investors build lasting wealth. On this episode we talk about: David's journey from going broke to building wealth through real estate investing Lessons learned from working at Credit Suisse during the dot-com bubble The difference between productive and unproductive assets Why investors repeatedly lose money chasing hot trends and market hype Practical investing principles inspired by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Top 3 Takeaways Successful investing starts with understanding the value of an asset, not simply following price movements or market excitement. Productive assets—such as businesses and income-producing real estate—create wealth because they generate cash flow and earnings over time. The best investors learn to be contrarian, buying quality assets when others are fearful rather than chasing opportunities when everyone is excited. Notable Quotes "If you do something right, you've done the work, potentially it pays you forever." "The biggest problem is time. Every mistake delays the power of compounding." "Communication, marketing, and investing are three of the most important skills you can learn."

Charge capture issues often hide in plain sight, creating recurring revenue leakage across departments, payer contracts, documentation, and billing workflows. In this episode, Sean Dennehey and Jason Adams of Infinx discuss how a full claims review, clinical validation, reimbursement modeling, and long-term implementation support can help organizations uncover missed revenue and strengthen charge reconciliation.
In this episode, Neil challenges the mainstream narrative that the ultimate reward for hard work is escaping on a vacation. Reflecting on a recent trip to Japan and China, Neil explains why stepping completely away from his daily routines often causes him more stress than relaxation. He introduces the concept of the N1 Study, the idea that your life is a unique, ongoing experiment in human happiness where you are the sole participant. KEY TAKEAWAYS Redesign your reality: Build a daily life and business structure that is so enjoyable you don't constantly feel the need to escape from it. Shift your focus: Recognize the energizing difference between working on your business versus grinding in your business. Embrace the N1 Study: Treat your life as a personalized experiment where the primary metric for success is discovering what brings you happiness. Capture fleeting inspiration: Always keep a notebook or travel journal handy to record ideas the moment they strike. Prioritize personal fulfillment: Stop distorting your goals and schedules to meet the traditional expectations of others; ensure that you are pleasing at least yourself. QUOTES "If the best thing you can think of is taking a couple of weeks off from your life in the everyday sense, then you've built your life back to front." "You should plan and construct your everyday life in such a way that you're having so much fun, you don't want to take time off." "Ideas are shy and skittish. So when you have one, welcome it, make space for it and write it down before it runs away giggling to itself." "Your own life is an ongoing study with a single participant. We'll call this an N1 study." "Please at least yourself. Don't distort yourself to please another person."

Phillip Stutts returns to the Travis Makes Money Podcast to share what happened after he stepped away from the personal branding treadmill and focused entirely on growing his businesses. As the co-founder and executive chairman of CD6, Phillip has helped drive over 1,700 election victories, worked with Fortune 200 companies, and advised leaders ranging from presidential campaigns to Tony Robbins. In this conversation, he reveals why he disappeared from podcasting and media appearances for three years, how his companies more than doubled in value during that time, and why relationship-based businesses may be one of the safest bets in an AI-driven future. On this episode we talk about: Why Phillip walked away from personal branding, podcast appearances, and media exposure How focusing on core business operations doubled his company's valuation What private equity firms are looking for in the age of AI Why relationship-driven businesses have a powerful competitive moat Balancing entrepreneurship, family, and long-term wealth creation Top 3 Takeaways Relationship-based businesses are becoming increasingly valuable because AI cannot replicate the trust and networks built through years of human connections. Entrepreneurs should identify the parts of their businesses that are irreplaceable by AI and invest heavily in strengthening those advantages. Success doesn't require constant content creation or personal branding—sometimes focusing on your core business creates far greater returns. Notable Quotes "The question is what part of your business can't be disrupted. That's what you have to be investing in right now." "Ruthlessly prioritize balance. If one thing gets out of balance, a lot of things start falling apart." "My identity isn't wrapped around my brand anymore. My identity is being a dad and a husband."

Sean Cannell is one of the leading voices in YouTube education and online video strategy. As the founder of Think Media and a creator with millions of subscribers across his channels, Sean has spent years helping entrepreneurs, business owners, and creators leverage video to grow their brands and businesses. In this episode, Sean shares practical strategies for creating more content with less effort, building a sustainable content system, and using YouTube as a long-term asset that continues delivering value years after publication. On this episode we talk about: How one podcast or interview can fuel an entire week's content calendar Why short-form clips often outperform full-length content Common mistakes creators make when launching a YouTube channel Why content creation has become a team sport for business owners Building evergreen YouTube content that generates long-term revenue Top 3 Takeaways One long-form piece of content can be repurposed into dozens of clips, shorts, and social media posts, creating a highly efficient content engine. Consistency beats perfection. Most creators spend too much time obsessing over branding, thumbnails, and equipment instead of publishing and learning from real-world feedback. Evergreen YouTube content can become a valuable business asset, generating views, leads, and revenue years after it's published. Notable Quotes "One show can fuel your entire content calendar." "The clips are often worth more than the interview itself." "The ROI is in showing up consistently—not in perfecting the setup before you start."

In this episode featuring producer Eric, Travis Chappell breaks down the psychology behind effective sales and marketing language, explores common persuasion tactics, and shares lessons learned from years in direct sales. From pricing strategies and scarcity marketing to the importance of honesty in sales conversations, Travis explains why trust—not manipulation—is the foundation of sustainable business growth. If you're an entrepreneur, salesperson, or business owner looking to improve your sales process without sacrificing integrity, this episode delivers practical insights you can apply immediately. On this episode we talk about: The psychology behind pricing and why $999 often outperforms $1,000 Scarcity and urgency tactics in marketing and when they actually work Why language matters in sales conversations and marketing copy The dangers of fake urgency, false scarcity, and misleading prospects How honesty and transparency create more referrals and repeat business Top 3 Takeaways Trust is your greatest asset in sales. Being honest about what you don't know builds credibility and strengthens long-term customer relationships. Marketing language can influence buying decisions, but it should enhance a good offer—not compensate for a bad one. Salespeople who focus on serving customers rather than closing deals create more repeat business, referrals, and lifetime value. Notable Quotes "The fake stuff is what irritates me more than anything." "It's a vote in the trust column when you admit that you don't know something." "Don't make short-term decisions because you think they might cost you a deal."

What happens when a camera company starts thinking less about lenses and specifications and more about how people actually capture and share their lives? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I spoke with Max Richter from Insta360 about the company's journey from pioneering 360-degree cameras to building a much broader ecosystem of hardware, software, AI tools, and creator-focused workflows. While many people still associate Insta360 with immersive 360 content, the company has steadily expanded into action cameras, wearable cameras, webcams, creator tools, and enterprise applications that reach far beyond social media. Our conversation explored how Insta360's philosophy of "shoot first, frame later" challenged traditional assumptions about photography and video creation. Rather than worrying about angles, framing, or missing a moment, users can focus on the experience itself and decide later how they want to tell the story. That approach has helped shape products that are now used everywhere from family vacations and sports adventures to construction sites, virtual tours, education, and live broadcasting. We also discussed the growing role of artificial intelligence in the creative process. Instead of replacing creativity, Insta360 is using AI to remove many of the technical hurdles that often prevent people from sharing the content they capture. From automated editing and intelligent reframing to enhanced low-light performance and future cloud-based experiences, AI is becoming an important part of making professional-quality content creation accessible to a much wider audience. A major focus of our discussion was Luna, Insta360's new pocket gimbal camera developed in partnership with Leica. Max explained why this launch represents an important step for the company as it expands further into the creator market. Combining premium imaging capabilities, advanced stabilization, AI-powered features, and a highly portable design, Luna reflects Insta360's belief that creators increasingly care about the entire workflow, from capture through editing and publishing, rather than camera specifications alone. We also explored an increasingly common question: if modern smartphones are so capable, why would anyone need a dedicated camera? Max shared his perspective on why purpose-built devices still matter for travelers, vloggers, filmmakers, and everyday users who want a more immersive and intentional way to capture life's moments. From AI-powered storytelling and creator workflows to the future of wearable cameras and intelligent imaging, this conversation offers an interesting look at how one company is trying to shape the next chapter of visual content creation. How do you think AI will change the way we capture, edit, and share our stories over the next few years?

Capture management is the govcon skill most small businesses ignore, and it's exactly why they keep losing to companies that start working the opportunity before the RFP ever drops. In this episode, Ryan Atencio pulls back the curtain on his live source-sought response process, showing exactly how he shapes solicitations to scope toward his company, knock out low-price competitors, and signal to the government that his firm is the obvious choice before evaluation even begins. What you'll learn in this episode: How to use a source-sought response to nudge an acquisition toward a contract vehicle like Seaport that limits your competition pool before the solicitation is even released Why pushing the government from LPTA to best value trade-off is one of the most powerful competitive moves a prime contractor can make, and how to justify it in writing How to suggest minimum past performance requirements, including contract numbers and work descriptions, that disqualify unqualified competitors right inside the solicitation language Why Ryan prices every proposal as if it's LPTA even when it isn't, and how that discipline protects your margins without costing you the win How to align your source-sought response language directly to the statement of work so that when the solicitation drops, the agency already sees your company reflected in it EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Mindy AI intro and what it does for small businesses 0:30 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center Podcast 0:48 - Ryan Atencio breaks down his capture management approach 1:29 - Live walkthrough of a real source-sought response 2:26 - How to write an executive summary that mirrors the SOW 2:38 - Why Seaport narrows competition and how to nudge toward it 4:16 - Making recommendations inside your source-sought response 4:44 - Why Ryan always pushes from LPTA to best value trade-off 6:16 - How evaluation factors and pricing strategy work together 9:03 - Requiring contract numbers to eliminate unqualified bidders 10:04 - How to know if your source-sought nudge worked when the RFP drops 10:36 - Federal Help Center community close and call to action Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down a powerful insight from personal branding strategist Caleb Ralston about the hidden costs of expanding your content beyond your area of expertise. Drawing on examples from business, politics, religion, and social media, they explore why creators should be intentional about the topics they discuss, the scrutiny that comes with influence, and how chasing views can sometimes damage credibility. This conversation is a thoughtful look at personal branding, audience expectations, and staying authentic in a world driven by attention. On this episode we talk about: Caleb Ralston's advice on personal branding and content strategy Why creators should think carefully before expanding into new topics The risks of discussing subjects outside your expertise How audience expectations can limit personal growth and public opinion changes The difference between chasing views and building a sustainable brand Why debate skills and expertise are not the same thing The long-term consequences of building an audience around certainty instead of curiosity Top 3 Takeaways Every topic you discuss publicly invites scrutiny. Before adding a new subject to your content, consider whether you want to be evaluated on that area of your life. Expertise in one field does not automatically translate to expertise in another. Audiences often confuse success with authority, creating challenges for creators who branch into unfamiliar territory. Authenticity compounds over time. Building a brand around who you genuinely are is more sustainable than chasing trends, controversy, or topics that generate short-term attention. Notable Quotes “If you're going to put stuff out on the internet, you will get scrutinized. No way around it.” “Just because somebody has three million followers does not mean that they are worthy of being listened to.” “Eventually the true you is going to come out, and you don't want there to be a massive gap between the version of you people thought you were and the version of you that you actually are.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Website: TravisChappell.com Instagram: @travischappell A Word from Our Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by our amazing sponsors.

Michelle Masters is a transformational coach, personal development trainer, and author who has spent nearly three decades helping people identify and overcome the subconscious patterns that keep them stuck. Combining neuroscience-based change techniques, family constellation work, and energy healing modalities, Michelle has helped thousands of people transform their relationship with money, success, and self-worth. In this episode, she shares how our earliest beliefs shape our financial reality and explains why lasting wealth often begins with inner transformation rather than external strategies. On this episode we talk about: The subconscious beliefs that silently limit financial success Why self-worth is one of the biggest drivers of income and abundance Common money myths, including the belief that hard work alone creates wealth How childhood experiences and family patterns shape financial outcomes Rewiring your relationship with money to create greater freedom and fulfillment Top 3 Takeaways Many financial limitations stem from subconscious beliefs formed early in life, often before we're even aware of them. Self-worth plays a major role in determining how much success, abundance, and opportunity we're willing to allow into our lives. Financial goals rooted in fear rarely create lasting fulfillment; goals based on purpose, possibility, and personal desire tend to produce better results and greater satisfaction. Notable Quotes "We will not let ourselves have more than we think we deserve." "If you tell me what consistently happens in your life, I can pretty much tell you what you believe." "Money is one of the many ways the universe wants to love us and bless us."

Artis Gilmore is a Basketball Hall of Famer, ABA and NBA legend, and one of the most dominant centers in professional basketball history. Growing up in rural Florida during the 1950s, Artis overcame significant adversity before building a remarkable career that spanned decades. In this episode, Travis reflects on his conversation with Artis and shares powerful lessons about resilience, leadership, service, and the mindset required to achieve lasting success. On this episode we talk about: How early hardship can become the foundation for future success Why it's never too late to start pursuing a new goal or opportunity The life lessons sports teach beyond competition and athletic achievement The importance of serving others and creating impact through success Why persistence and refusing to quit are essential ingredients for long-term achievement Top 3 Takeaways Hardship builds strength. The challenges you face early in life often develop the resilience, discipline, and perspective needed for future success. Your timeline doesn't determine your potential. Whether in sports, business, or life, a late start doesn't prevent extraordinary outcomes if you're willing to put in the work. Success is most meaningful when it's used to help others. True fulfillment comes from contributing to your community and creating opportunities for those around you. Notable Quotes "Hardship early builds the foundation that success later stands on." "The timeline does not determine the destination." "The only thing that actually makes you a failure is taking yourself out of the game."

After building and losing multiple businesses, Garrett transformed his personal failures into powerful lessons on leadership, certainty, and personal responsibility. In this solo recap episode, Travis breaks down some of the most impactful insights from his conversations with Garrett and explores how adversity, self-awareness, and authenticity can become catalysts for extraordinary growth. On this episode we talk about: How unresolved childhood experiences continue to influence adult behavior and decision-making Why running away from poverty can be a stronger motivator than chasing wealth The difference between being a hustler and building a sustainable business as a true entrepreneur How transparency and certainty create trust and leadership influence The relationship between passion, purpose, and building a profitable life Top 3 Takeaways Unresolved experiences and subconscious beliefs can quietly shape your decisions for years unless you intentionally confront and address them. Discomfort and dissatisfaction can be powerful drivers of change when used as motivation rather than excuses. Sustainable success requires moving beyond hustle and building systems, leadership skills, and a business that can withstand changing circumstances. Notable Quotes "The things you don't remember are often running your life anyway." "Running from poverty is a more reliable engine than chasing prosperity."

Amanda Lewis is a dental entrepreneur, innovator, and founder of Lewie, an oral wellness company redefining how consumers think about smile care. With more than 15 years of experience growing, acquiring, merging, and selling dental practices, Amanda has built multiple successful businesses while navigating entrepreneurship, leadership, product development, and personal reinvention. In this episode, she shares her journey from aspiring dentist to multi-practice owner and startup founder, along with the lessons she learned about scaling companies, overcoming setbacks, and pursuing opportunities that align with a bigger vision. On this episode we talk about: Building and scaling successful dental practices from the ground up The realities of entrepreneurship, delegation, and business ownership How private equity is changing the dental industry Transitioning from healthcare provider to consumer product founder Creating Lewie and bringing innovative oral wellness products to market Top 3 Takeaways Entrepreneurship requires constant learning, and many of the most important business lessons come through mistakes, challenges, and experience. Delegation is essential for long-term growth—trying to do everything yourself eventually becomes a bottleneck. The biggest regrets often come from opportunities not pursued, which is why taking calculated risks and following new ideas can be worth the uncertainty. Notable Quotes "Sometimes the only way through a problem is to keep on going." "If I didn't stop and do this, what would I regret?" "The smile is at the center of a person's confidence."

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into one of the biggest conversations happening in media today: the rise of AI-generated content and what it means for creators, podcasters, and audiences. From Spotify's new personalized AI podcast initiative to the future of human creativity, the conversation explores both the opportunities and challenges that come with rapidly advancing technology. Along the way, they discuss authenticity, audience connection, and why human personality may be the most valuable asset creators have moving forward. On this episode we talk about: Spotify's announcement of AI-generated personalized podcasts The impact of artificial intelligence on podcasting and content creation Why audiences connect with hosts, personalities, and communities—not just information The difference between AI-assisted creation and AI-generated replacement content How creators can stay relevant in an increasingly automated world Top 3 Takeaways The most valuable podcasts aren't just information delivery systems—they create connection, personality, and community that technology struggles to replicate. AI can be a powerful tool for improving workflows and enhancing creativity, but replacing authentic human perspectives remains a significant challenge. As content becomes easier to generate, originality, authenticity, and audience relationships become even more important differentiators. Notable Quotes "The whole idea of listening to a podcast is having a friendship with somebody you've never met." "Focus on community over everything else." "AI can help perfect the creation process, but it can't replace genuine connection."

For a hundred years, parents attempting to undertake creative endeavours have had a ready-made excuse, courtesy of Cyril Connolly: “The enemy of art is the pram in the hall.”Kids, the thinking goes, are where creativity goes to die. But Austin Kleon thinks Connolly got it exactly backwards.This month on the podcast, I sat down with Austin—author of the New York Times bestselling trilogy Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work and Keep Going—to talk about his new book, Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again. This book is a love letter to his two sons, and a collection of everything they taught him about creativity.Austin spent his career helping people tap into their creative potential, Then his kids arrived, and he realised he wasn't the teacher anymore. He was, in his words, “the apprentice to the beginners,” the studio assistant in his own home, saving the drawings, keeping the paper trail, and watching two small artists figure out how to “let it rip.”We talk about why children aren't an obstacle to your creative life but an opportunity for it to grow, the gentle art of benevolent neglect, and how watching your kids create might be the best way to quiet your own inner critic—and re-parent the artist you used to be.Subscribe to the Podcast* Spotify* Apple Podcasts* YouTube* Pocket CastsWhere to Find Austin Kleon* Buy Don't Call it Art* Read his blog, especially the parenting tag* Subscribe to his newsletter* Follow him on InstagramEpisode ReferencesBooks & Essays* The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Sir Ken Robinson* The Idle Parent Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson* Bringing Up Bebe by Pamela Druckerman* Several Short Sentences About Writing by Verlyn Klinkenborg* 100 Essays I Don't Have Time To Write by Sarah Ruhl* The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson* Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs by Sally Mann* Playing With My Son by Andy Baio* Heidi's Horse by Sylvia Fein* American Elf by James KochalkaFeatured Artists, Musicians & Innovators* John Baldessari – The legendary conceptual artist whose revolutionary “Post-Studio Art” teaching style shaped a generation of creators.* Creative Growth: Childhood to Maturity at MoMA – The historic 1939 solo exhibition tracking artist Dahlov Ipcar's development from a young child to an adult.* Lynda Barry – The MacArthur-winning cartoonist, author of What It Is, and professor of interdisciplinary creativity.* Ruth Asawa – The brilliant San Francisco wire sculptor who believed art education should be accessible to all children.* Eleanor Coppola – The visionary documentary filmmaker who beautifully balanced her own creative life alongside an iconic filmmaking family.* Brian Eno – The experimental ambient music pioneer whose philosophy centers on answering the ultimate creative question: “What is it that I actually like?”* Michel de Montaigne – The Renaissance essayist whose father instituted a spartan pedagogical plan, including raises with peasants and learning Latin as a first language.Misc* Cyril Connolly's “Pram in the Hall”* Jeff Tweedy on Making Art without ControlTimestamps03:10 — Pre-publication anxiety and “the gulp”: Austin's advice for a first-time author05:03 — Why a second book is like a second child06:04 — Austin's family: Megan, two boys, and a houseful of weirdos in Austin, Texas07:12 — A love letter to his kids: bottling the energy of two “cavemen Picassos”09:55 — Growing up in rural Ohio: pigs, county fairs, and a broad definition of creative work12:10 — Ken Robinson's “I'm drawing a picture of God” story13:29 — Puberty and the arrival of the inner critic14:31 — Milton Glaser's perfect combination: a mother who says “you can do anything,” a father who says “prove it”16:11 — Parenting tension as a guitar string: freedom, constraint, and Bringing Up Bébé18:50 — The story of how Owen held his pen—and the magic line that disappeared22:31 — Benevolent neglect: D.H.

Roger Beaudoin is a restaurant entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of Restaurant Rockstars. After building, scaling, and selling multiple successful restaurants, Roger now helps hospitality operators increase profits, improve operations, and build stronger teams.

Roger's MBA background and focus on operations, marketing, and profitability helped him succeed despite never owning a restaurant before. Unique customer experiences create competitive advantages. Memorable branding, exceptional hospitality, and creative marketing can turn customers into loyal advocates. Entrepreneurs must learn to trust their instincts while staying resilient. Roger overcame a devastating $40,000 scam early in his journey and still built a thriving business. Notable Quotes “The main reason many operators struggle is they're trying to run a restaurant, not a business.” “Food is expected.

Chris Hansen is an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist best known for creating and hosting To Catch a Predator. For decades, he has exposed criminal behavior, educated the public about online safety, and helped bring predators to justice through meticulous investigative work. In this episode, Travis reflects on his conversation with Chris and shares some of the most impactful lessons from Hansen's career—from the importance of real-world experience and direct communication to ethical journalism and building independent media platforms. On this episode we talk about: Why real-world experience can be more valuable than traditional education The power of simple, direct communication when pitching ideas How education and awareness help prevent online exploitation Why owning your own platform creates greater freedom and impact The critical difference between ethical journalism and online vigilantism Top 3 Takeaways The best education often comes from real-life experiences that expose you to different people, perspectives, and challenges—not just classrooms and textbooks. Clear, direct communication cuts through confusion and helps people understand and act on important ideas more effectively. Building trust requires discipline, ethics, and a commitment to doing things the right way, even when shortcuts might generate more attention. Notable Quotes "The best education isn't always in a classroom." "Sometimes the right move is to strip all the polish off and say the thing that nobody else is willing to say." "You can't arrest your way out of the problem."

In this special in-studio episode, Travis is joined by producer Eric for a lighthearted but surprisingly insightful conversation about cigar lounges, networking, friendship, and the value of intentional conversations. What starts as a debate about the best cigar lounges in Las Vegas turns into a broader discussion about building meaningful relationships, creating space for great conversations, and why some of life's best business and personal connections happen outside of formal settings. On this episode we talk about: The best cigar lounges in Las Vegas and what makes each one unique Why cigars can create an environment for deeper conversations and networking The importance of atmosphere, community, and shared experiences Balancing business, friendship, and personal growth through intentional downtime The surprising role that hobbies and rituals play in building relationships Top 3 Takeaways Some of the most valuable business opportunities and personal connections happen in relaxed environments where meaningful conversations can develop naturally. The best communities are built around shared experiences, not just transactions or networking goals. Creating intentional space to slow down, connect with people, and have real conversations can be just as valuable as grinding through another hour of work. Notable Quotes "Some of my best conversations have been with friends over cigars." "It's less about smoking and more about being in an environment that promotes conversation." "Money only solves your money problems, not your cigar problems."

Paul Pierce is an NBA Hall of Famer, NBA Champion, Finals MVP, and one of the 75 greatest players in basketball history. In this episode, Travis breaks down the biggest lessons he learned from his conversation with Paul, exploring how elite performers use goal setting, environment design, relentless work ethic, and an underdog mentality to achieve extraordinary success. Whether you're building a business, advancing your career, or pursuing a personal goal, Paul's journey offers valuable insights into what it takes to perform at the highest level. On this episode we talk about: Why short-term goals are the foundation of long-term success How your environment shapes your habits, decisions, and outcomes The difference between talent and the work required to maximize it Using rejection, setbacks, and being underestimated as motivation Why appreciating success in the moment is harder—and more important—than most people realize Top 3 Takeaways Focus on the next step, not the entire staircase. Long-term success is built through a series of achievable short-term goals that create momentum and confidence. Design your environment for success. It's easier to build winning habits when your surroundings support your goals rather than constantly tempt you away from them. Talent only creates opportunity. Consistent effort, discipline, and work ethic are what separate high performers from everyone else at the highest levels. Notable Quotes "Short-term goals are the engine of long-term greatness." "Control your environment before it controls you." "Talent without work is just potential—and potential does not make Hall of Famers."

Saul Cohen is an accountant, acquisitions advisor, and entrepreneur who helps business owners scale, optimize, and successfully exit their companies. With experience at PwC and years of advising founders on tax planning, acquisitions, and valuations, Saul has developed a practical framework for helping entrepreneurs build long-term wealth. In this episode, he shares lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, why execution matters more than ideas, and how acquisitions can become a powerful wealth-building strategy for business owners. On this episode we talk about: Why execution is more valuable than having a great business idea Lessons learned from building and selling a business while still in university The realities of working at PwC and transitioning into entrepreneurship How tax planning, acquisitions, and business valuations impact long-term wealth Why entrepreneurs should understand acquisitions before preparing for an exit Top 3 Takeaways Ideas are only valuable when paired with execution. Success rarely comes from having the best idea—it comes from consistently executing better than everyone else. Small financial optimizations compound into life-changing results. Even modest tax savings or valuation improvements can create significant wealth over a business owner's lifetime. Understanding acquisitions makes you a better entrepreneur. Whether you're buying, selling, or scaling a business, acquisition knowledge helps increase valuation, create liquidity events, and accelerate growth. Notable Quotes "Your ideas are only as valuable as the execution." "If everyone tried to copy you, they still couldn't do it the way you do it because they're not you." "Small incremental gains can make such a big difference to someone's lifestyle when they finish this game."

Keith Yackey is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, author, comedian, and founder of The Married Game, a coaching company dedicated to helping men become better husbands and reignite connection in their marriages. After nearly losing his own marriage, Keith transformed his life by taking ownership of his shortcomings and rebuilding himself from the inside out. In this episode, Travis shares his biggest takeaways from his conversation with Keith, covering responsibility, relationships, personal growth, and the dangers of complacency. On this episode we talk about: Why taking radical responsibility is the first step toward lasting success How comfort and complacency can quietly damage relationships The warning signs people often miss before a relationship falls apart Why self-improvement—not desperation—is the key to winning someone back The importance of surrounding yourself with people who expand your vision instead of limiting it Top 3 Takeaways If you are the problem, you are also the solution. Accepting responsibility for your circumstances can be uncomfortable, but it gives you the power to create meaningful change. Comfort is where attraction goes to die. Whether in marriage, business, or friendships, relationships require intentional effort and continual growth. Real transformation happens when you focus on becoming the best version of yourself—not when you're trying to manipulate outcomes or control other people. Notable Quotes "If you are the problem, you are also the solution." "The truth will set you free, but first it'll piss you off." "The moment you're outgrowing a room is exactly the moment you need to leave it."

The entertainment industry is undergoing a major shift, and creators are leading the charge. In this episode, Travis and producer Eric discuss the breakout success of Obsession, a low-budget horror film created by YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker. They explore how independent creators are bypassing traditional gatekeepers, building audiences online, and proving that great storytelling can outperform massive budgets. Along the way, they dive into the parallels between comedy and horror, the economics of filmmaking, and why we're entering a new era of creator-driven entertainment. On this episode we talk about: How YouTube creators are successfully making the leap into Hollywood Why low-budget horror films continue to generate outsized returns The surprising connection between comedy and horror storytelling The financial success story behind Obsession and creator-led filmmaking How audience demand is reshaping traditional entertainment industries Top 3 Takeaways Great storytelling beats big budgets. A compelling product can outperform projects backed by vastly larger resources when it resonates with audiences. The barriers between independent creators and traditional media are disappearing, creating massive opportunities for talented people to break into established industries. Word-of-mouth remains one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world—especially when creators build genuine trust with their audiences. Notable Quotes "The thing that makes them good at YouTube also makes them good at this other thing." "Great storytelling doesn't need a massive budget—it needs a great creator."

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
The 2026 World Cup, taking place in North America, begins on June 11. In the United States, the games will be played in 11 cities from coast to coast with 'security' being provided by federal agencies, including ICE, which have been terrorizing communities, detaining travelers, residents, and citizens in inhumane conditions, and committing violence with impunity. The Anti Fascist Football Coalition opposed holding the games in the US to avoid legitimizing a country that supports genocide in Palestine and is waging illegal wars, and is now calling for a boycott. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maria Hernandez, an organizer with UNITE HERE Local 11 in Los Angeles, where stadium workers are still fighting for a contract and assurances of their safety in a space where ICE agents are present, and Ajamu Baraka of the Black Alliance for Peace, who explains the boycott and why we must take the games back from the billionaire class.

Jackie Coffey, better known as Jackie the Happy Investor, went from a broke single mom with no money, no credit, and no real estate experience to completing more than 1,000 property flips and building a seven-figure real estate business. After making 202 cold calls before landing her first lender, Jackie learned firsthand that persistence, integrity, and taking action can overcome almost any obstacle. Today, she's an investor, educator, author, and creator of the Jackie the Happy Investor app, helping aspiring investors build wealth through real estate. On this episode we talk about: How childhood financial instability fueled Jackie's entrepreneurial drive Making 202 cold calls to secure funding for her first real estate flip The lessons learned from her early real estate mistakes and successes Why integrity and relationships are critical to long-term business success Building wealth through a combination of active house flipping and long-term rental properties Top 3 Takeaways Persistence often matters more than experience. Jackie secured her first real estate deal after 202 lender calls and countless rejections. Your biggest mistakes can become your greatest education. Jackie's disastrous first flip became the foundation for a career that has spanned more than 1,000 deals. Long-term wealth is built through ownership. Flipping houses generates cash, but holding rental properties creates lasting financial freedom. Notable Quotes "At call 202, I finally got a yes." "That first house was the tuition." "If I don't do this, I'm going to be in the same spot a year from now."

On this episode, Travis is joined in studio by producer Eric for a conversation that starts with a comedian's joke about an Uber driver financing a luxury Range Rover and turns into a bigger discussion about lifestyle inflation, consumer debt, and making smarter financial decisions. Through plenty of laughs, stories, and friendly banter, Travis shares his thoughts on why buying status symbols before you can truly afford them can hold back your financial future. On this episode we talk about: Why financing luxury purchases with side hustles can be a dangerous financial trap The difference between being a consumer and being an investor How lifestyle inflation keeps people from building long-term wealth The hidden costs of expensive vehicles and status purchases Why planning ahead and using rideshare services is often smarter than driving after a night out Top 3 Takeaways If you need a second job just to afford the payment on a luxury item, it's probably a sign that the purchase is outside your means. Building wealth requires prioritizing investing and financial security before spending on status symbols and depreciating assets. Smart financial decisions often come down to delayed gratification—saving first and buying later instead of financing a lifestyle you can't comfortably afford. Notable Quotes "If you have to get a second job to pay for your car, probably don't get the car." "You bought a twenty twenty-five fully loaded part-time job." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got money in the bank."
