In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down why most people aren't actually lost — they're just distracted. Drawing from over 1,500 podcast episodes, hundreds of guest appearances, and years of studying high performers, Travis shares hard-earned lessons on focus, responsibility, and building momentum in a noisy world. This episode is a straight-talk deep dive into why focus is the new superpower — and how simplifying your path can radically change your results. On this episode we talk about: Why distraction — not lack of opportunity — is holding most people back Taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming circumstances The “rider, elephant, and path” framework for building better habits How shiny object syndrome sabotages entrepreneurs Why doing less (but better) creates bigger results Top 3 Takeaways Focus is the ultimate competitive advantage. In a world full of noise, the ability to concentrate on one thing until it succeeds is a superpower. You can't control everything — but you can control your environment. Design your “path” to remove distractions so better decisions become automatic. Progress comes from commitment, not novelty. Whether in business or life, jumping paths feels exciting — but staying the course is what actually produces results. Notable Quotes “Most people aren't lost — they're just distracted.” “Distraction is the enemy of progress, and focus is the competitive advantage.” “Don't do more. Do less — but do it better.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/TravisChappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into why treating a small audience like a massive one is the fastest way to long-term success. From Gary Vee's iconic “1 > 0” philosophy to Markiplier's creator journey, they unpack what it really means to respect people's attention, stop chasing vanity metrics, and show up consistently — even when the views feel small. This episode is a candid conversation about content creation, gratitude, and why every post is a lottery ticket. On this episode we talk about: Gary Vee's “one is greater than zero” mindset and why it matters for creators Why small audiences deserve the same effort as large ones How social media metrics can distort reality and kill momentum Treating attention as earned — not owed Why consistency beats perfection when building online Top 3 Takeaways One person paying attention is already a win. Treat every viewer, listener, or follower like they matter — because they do. Stop chasing viral moments and start building trust. Long-term growth comes from showing up consistently, not waiting for overnight success. Your real competition is everything else fighting for attention. Netflix, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are all competing for the same eyeballs — so respect your audience's time. Notable Quotes “The only way to get a massive audience is to treat your tiny audience like it's already massive.” “Behind every subscriber is a person living their life and willing to give you their time.” “Every post is a lottery ticket — it only takes one to change everything.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down YouTuber Markiplier's self-financed horror film Iron Lung, which grossed over $20M (7x its $3M budget) and topped box office charts—without Hollywood backing. Their casual chat celebrates indie success while roasting studio "slop," low actor pay, and why creators with audiences have a massive edge. On this episode we talk about: Iron Lung's unicorn success: $3M self-funded, zero marketing budget, #1 at box office vs. big studio flops Hollywood's shady side: Missing box office charts, low actor pay ($2-5K/episode after cuts), no royalties Creator advantages: Built-in audiences = free marketing; YouTubers like Radio Silence (A24 hits) proving the model Why constraints breed better art: Low stakes, passion projects outperform bloated $100M+ budgets Lessons for creators: Make what excites you; democratized access means anyone can bypass gatekeepers Top 3 Takeaways Existing audiences are the ultimate marketing hack—Markiplier's casual promo beat Hollywood's $50M+ spends. Low-budget passion projects often outperform high-stakes slop because creators prioritize art over profit. Hollywood's math sucks for most: After agents/taxes, "star" roles pay peanuts—build your own leverage first. Notable Quotes "Iron Lung... has already done over $20 million in the box office and has been the number one movie through the weekend." "They just write somebody else... [so] rather than look at it as giving me $2200 an episode, how much money are they putting into marketing the show?" "Stop making [content] like a chore... what would I want to record that would be like a shining light in my calendar?"

Neil Patel is the co-founder of NP Digital, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most influential marketers in the world. Recognized by The Wall Street Journal as a top web influencer and named a Top 100 Entrepreneur by President Obama and the United Nations, Neil has spent decades building software companies, agencies, and media brands. In this episode, Neil shares how he made his first $20K/month at age 16, why he chose the “boring” agency path over venture-backed startups, and how founders can build real wealth without sacrificing their lives. On this episode we talk about: How Neil landed his first SEO clients as a teenager—and what sparked his entrepreneurial journey Why he believes agencies and “ugly businesses” are often better opportunities than flashy startups The real reason most founders fail (and why 10-year thinking changes everything) How lifestyle creep quietly kills financial freedom Where opportunity still exists for new entrepreneurs in an AI-driven world Why patience, persistence, and passion matter more than any single tactic Top 3 Takeaways There's money in almost every industry—the key is finding something you enjoy enough to stick with for a decade. You don't need venture capital or billion-dollar exits to win; profitable, bootstrapped businesses often create more freedom and wealth. Controlling lifestyle creep preserves optionality—real success comes from building a life you don't want to escape from. Notable Quotes “There's money in boring businesses—sometimes that's where the biggest opportunities live.” “If you think in 10-year timelines instead of 12-month timelines, everything changes.” “It's not worth making millions if you're miserable, unhealthy, and disconnected from the people you love.” Connect with Neil Patel: Website / Agency: https://npdigital.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/neilpatel LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilkpatel/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neilpatel/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Travis Chappell breaks down why time is the most valuable asset you have and how treating it that way can radically change your income and lifestyle. In this solo episode, he shares the mindset shifts and investments that helped him go from door-to-door sales to full-time online entrepreneur and podcaster. On this episode we talk about: Why time is more important than money (and how your actions reveal what you really value) How investing in coaching and education can massively shortcut your learning curve Specific examples of using relationships and platform features to grow a podcast faster (Stitcher, Castbox, and more) Why money is a renewable resource but time is not—and what that means for your decisions How to use a 5–10 year sprint of working smarter and harder to buy back your time and design a life you actually want Top 3 Takeaways The best early investment you can make is in yourself—skills, knowledge, access, and relationships compound far more than most other expenses. Money is renewable; time is not, so use money to either make more money or buy back more of your time. A focused 5–10 year period of working both smarter and harder can create the optionality to spend most of your time on meaningful work and relationships. Notable Quotes "If you don't have a lot of money to invest, then probably the best thing that you can invest in is yourself." "Money is only as valuable as what you can exchange it for—and the ultimate use of money is to buy back your time." "Show me somebody who spent their time doing something they love with people they love, and I'll show you somebody who lived a mostly regret-free life."

Adam Smith is often invoked as the intellectual godfather of modern capitalism — but he was also a moral philosopher. Judo Bank founder and former CEO Joseph Healy joins Gene Tunny to argue that Australia's market economy has drifted from Smith's vision. From weak competition and high household debt to corporate scandals and lobbying influence, this episode explores whether capitalism has been “hijacked by capitalists” — and why complacency may be Australia's greatest economic risk.Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com. About this episode's guest: Joseph HealyJoseph Healy is an experienced Australian banking executive and the author of What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia? He has had a long career in financial services in Australia and internationally, including as a co-founder and former CEO of Judo Bank, a specialist SME bank. Joseph has a longstanding interest in Adam Smith's work as both an economist and moral philosopher. In his book, he draws on The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments to assess the state of modern Australian capitalism — examining competition, corporate governance, banking, regulation, education, and the relationship between economic performance and societal wellbeing.What You'll LearnWhy Adam Smith must be read as both an economist and a moral philosopher.How shareholder value thinking reshaped corporate incentives from the 1980s onward.Why weak competition in banking, airlines, retail, and energy may be generating economic rents in Australia.How the shift of bank lending toward housing may have created systemic risk and underinvestment in SMEs in Australia.Why Joseph gives Australia a C+ overall — and why that grade could deteriorate.Timestamps02:25 – Why Joseph wrote to The EconomistThe 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations and reclaiming Smith's legacy.09:18 – Why Moral Sentiments still matters“Loved and lovely” — Smith's moral framework explained.16:30 – The legal test vs the moral test“It's not ‘Will we get caught?' — it's ‘Is this the right thing to do?'”18:29 – Shareholder value and the erosion of restraintHow incentives shifted corporate behaviour from the 1980s onward.27:39 – Banking concentration and the shift to mortgagesBig Four dominance and declining SME lending.31:05 – Systemic risk and household leverageIs Australia too exposed to housing debt?36:10 – Lobbying and barriers to competitionWhy reform is politically difficult.40:45 – Five areas of reformGovernment size, competition, tax reform, governance, trade unions & education.48:34 – The Qantas exampleLobbying, protection, and consumer impact.51:39 – What would Adam Smith make of Australia?The “report card”: A for trade, D for competition, C+ overall.55:11 – Reclaiming capitalism“Capture it back again so it's working for everybody.”Links relevant to the conversationJoseph's book, What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia?https://majorstreet.com.au/products/what-would-adam-smith-make-of-modern-australia-br-i-small-by-joseph-healy-i-smallLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED

Anne Cocquyt is a Silicon Valley operator, educator, and bestselling startup author who helps founders turn ideas into real businesses—fast. She's the Founder & CEO of The Guild and The Guild Studio, an award-winning instructor at UC Berkeley, and a trusted advisor to accelerators around the world. In this episode, Anne breaks down how “vibe coding” and AI-powered tools are radically changing entrepreneurship—making it possible for anyone (even non-technical founders) to build MVPs, validate ideas, and reach market in days instead of months. On this episode we talk about: What “vibe coding” is and how non-technical founders can build MVPs in minutes Why traditional startup development (and million-dollar dev budgets) are becoming obsolete How AI is shrinking feedback loops and accelerating product-market fit The skills founders actually need in an AI-first world Practical ways to test ideas, validate demand, and market early-stage products Top 3 Takeaways You no longer need a big dev team or massive funding to launch—AI tools let founders build and iterate MVPs in days, not years. The real differentiator isn't code anymore—it's critical thinking, understanding users, and building something people actually want. Entrepreneurs who succeed will be “umbrella-skilled generalists,” able to build, test, market, and adapt quickly as technology evolves. Notable Quotes “Code is no longer a moat—the little dragon is the vibe coder.” “It's not a question anymore if you can build it. It's a question if you should build it.” “Unless you can wear multiple hats, it's going to be very hard to defend just one skill.” Connect with Anne Cocquyt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annecocquyt Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/annecocquyt Other: Website: https://annecocquyt.com The Guild Studio: Letsguild.com/studio Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

This episode is a solo deep dive with Travis, host of Travis Makes Money, breaking down how motivational interviewing—a communication method created by psychologists William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick—can become a powerful tool for persuasion in business, sales, leadership, and personal growth. He shares personal stories, research-backed examples, and practical scripts that show how shifting from “convincing” to “uncovering” dramatically improves outcomes. On this episode we talk about: What motivational interviewing is and why most people persuade the wrong way. The real problem behind inaction: ambivalence, not lack of information. How addiction and healthcare studies prove this method works better than advice-giving. Using the 1–10 scale question and “Why is it not a two?” in sales conversations. Applying motivational interviewing with clients, employees, partners, and even your kids. Top 3 Takeaways People rarely change because you tell them to; they change faster when it feels like their idea, and motivational interviewing is designed to create that internal motivation. Asking precise questions like “On a scale of 1–10, how ready are you?” and “Why is it not a two?” pulls reasons for change out of the other person instead of pushing your arguments onto them. In sales and leadership, if you can explain someone's problem back to them better than they can, they'll assume you have the solution—so ask more questions, summarize clearly, and let them articulate their own standards and desired outcomes. Notable Quotes “Most people already know what they should do. The problem isn't information, it's ambivalence.” “People don't change because they're convinced; they change because they feel understood and they allow themselves to articulate the truth.” “Stop pitching and start pulling—talk less, ask better questions, and let them talk themselves into change.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Eric, producer of the Travis Makes Money podcast, joins Travis in studio to break down how creator-led films are disrupting Hollywood's old guard. He shares firsthand impressions from seeing YouTuber Markiplier's horror film Iron Lung, highlighting why this low-budget, creator-driven project is such a big win for filmmakers, investors, and content creators looking to turn attention into real revenue. Eric's enthusiasm and eye for story, audience behavior, and distribution make this conversation a must-listen for anyone serious about monetizing content at scale. On this episode we talk about: Why Iron Lung is “crazy good news” for the film industry and creators How Markiplier produced, wrote, starred in, and directed a profitable sub-$3M horror film The power of built-in distribution and preselling tickets through a loyal YouTube audience Why horror and action are often the smartest low-budget genres for indie filmmakers How creator–Hollywood crossovers (like Iron Lung and Happy Gilmore 2) are reshaping funding, casting, and IP strategy Top 3 Takeaways Creator-led projects with a passionate audience and clear distribution can outperform traditional studio films, even with a fraction of the budget. Horror and action films are often cheaper to make yet have broad appeal, making them ideal vehicles for indie and creator-driven projects. It's no longer “YouTuber vs. actor”—creators who build real IP and care about the underlying story can unlock new paths into film, funding, and long-term opportunities. Notable Quotes “You have a film project that 4Xes on opening weekend—you have to start taking a look at that.” “What Hollywood is missing right now is what creators have, which is attention—unbridled attention.” “Get started doing something, because you never know what it's going to end up being.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Lyle Pratt, CEO of Vida, about the company's latest release: an expanded AI Agent Operating System designed for enterprise scale and built specifically for MSPs and channel partners. Vida provides AI-powered phone agents that integrate directly into existing UCaaS and telecom environments. With native SIP registration, Vida's agents can register back to an MSP's current UCaaS platform and appear just like any other VoIP endpoint. The new release enhances omnichannel capabilities, centralized control, observability, billing integrations, and reseller management—allowing MSPs to deploy, monitor, and monetize AI agents at scale across multiple customers. Pratt emphasized that the platform was architected from a telecom channel background. “We've designed the OS specifically for MSPs,” he said. “We make it extremely easy to roll those out to all your customers using our AI Agent OS.” Vida supports a multi-tier model—partners, resellers, enterprises, and agents—enabling white-label deployments where MSPs retain brand control and pricing authority. The platform also includes built-in billing and reporting capabilities to streamline recurring revenue operations. A key opportunity lies in redirecting call traffic that traditionally flows to third-party call centers or BPOs. Vida's AI phone agents can handle first-tier interactions at approximately 15 cents per minute, enabling MSPs to capture revenue streams that previously bypassed them. “Software is going to begin to eat into the labor market,” Pratt noted. “And that actually is great for MSPs because they sell software solutions—now they can collect those margins for themselves.” As AI continues to reshape communications infrastructure, Vida is positioning its platform as the backbone for next-generation IVRs, auto attendants, and voice-driven automation. With SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, flexible integrations, and omnichannel automation capabilities across voice, SMS, and email, the company is aiming to simplify AI deployment for MSPs while opening new, high-margin revenue paths.

In this solo episode, Travis shares hard-won lessons from Paulo Coelho's classic book The Alchemist and connects them to entrepreneurship, parenting, and the journey of building a meaningful life and business. He distills years of publishing over 1,500 podcast episodes, reading 200+ books, and countless hours of listening into a focused breakdown of why the adventure—not the outcome—is what truly matters. On this episode we talk about: What The Alchemist is really about and why it resonates with entrepreneurs The concept of a “personal legend” and how it applies to your goals and dreams Why settling for a “good enough” life keeps you stuck and resentful How to think about risk, comfort, and the closed fist vs. open hand mindset Parenting as preparation: helping your kids face struggle, fear, and their own adventure Top 3 Takeaways If you are not willing to risk what you have for what you want, you will probably never get it. Settling for a “good enough,” dream-adjacent life slowly turns into resentment toward people, opportunities, and the belief that there's not enough out there. The real treasure is who you become on the journey—whether in business or parenting—and your job is to engineer struggle, growth, and adventure, not just comfort. Notable Quotes "If you're not willing to risk what you have to get what you want, then you probably won't get it." "It's not about having the thing. It's about who you become along the way of pursuing the thing." "The adventure is what makes life worth living."

Ian Stanley is a veteran online entrepreneur and one of the most respected email copywriters in the game. He built his reputation writing copy that has generated millions in sales, then used that skill to create a lifestyle business that funds his love for travel and stand-up comedy. In this episode, Ian breaks down how he went from broke college kid clicking on sketchy “make money online” offers to becoming the go-to guy for email copy—and how that one decision to master a single skill changed everything. On this episode we talk about: How Ian made his first $118.34 online during a college final—and why that moment convinced him he'd never need a “real job” again The decision to go all-in on email copywriting while everyone else tried to do everything and stayed broke Why your early 20s shouldn't be “grind only” and how you actually lose the skill of having fun if you over-optimize for hustle Using a “learn while you earn” job in your 20s to get paid to acquire rare skills and see real numbers, ad spend, and data from the inside How Ian helped scale companies from low to mid eight figures by obsessing over copy, email, and split tests The reality of pursuing art (like stand-up) vs. business—and how money buys you the freedom to go all-in on the thing you actually love Whether copywriting will still matter in an AI world and how to use AI without outsourcing your thinking Why writing is still the foundation of all great communication, speaking, and content—even if AI tools can draft your first version The trap of trying to automate yourself out of all “hard work” and why you only get paid for the work you don't want to do Top 3 Takeaways Master one valuable skill first—like copywriting or email marketing—before you try to build a complex business. Depth beats dabbling, especially early on. Your 20s are for both: have fun and develop skills. If you sacrifice fun completely, you risk becoming successful but miserable; if you sacrifice skills, you stay stuck. AI is a powerful amplifier, not a replacement for thinking. The winners will be those who understand good marketing, strategy, and ideas—and then use AI as a tool, not a crutch. Notable Quotes “Everybody online was trying to do everything and they were all poor. I decided I'd just get really good at copywriting.” “If you're in your 20s, you should be able to drink until 4 a.m., wake up at 7, and still get good work done. That's the time to do it all, to have fun.” “You only get paid for the work you don't want to do. If you outsource the one thing that actually matters in your business, what are you even here for?” Connect with Ian Stanley: Instagram (Comedy): https://www.instagram.com/ianstanleycomedy Instagram (Business/Marketing): https://www.instagram.com/almostpassiveincome Email List & Resources: https://getonmyfuckinglist.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

On this episode, Travis and his producer Eric riff through classic quotes from figures like Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Jim Rohn, Epictetus, and even the Joker's mom, using each line as a launchpad to talk about money, time, self-education, and what opportunity really looks like in real life. They blend humor, movie references, and personal stories to challenge conventional wisdom and show why rethinking your relationship with learning, work, and wealth is essential if you want to build a life you actually enjoy. On this episode we talk about: Why “time is money” is incomplete and why time is actually more valuable than money How Warren Buffett illustrates the tradeoff between wealth and years of life The difference between formal education and self-education (and why school can make you hate learning) What opportunity really looks like, and why it usually shows up disguised as hard work and skill-building Stoic ideas about wealth, wanting less, and why money is a terrible master but an excellent servant Top 3 Takeaways Time is your most valuable asset, more important than money or status, and no amount of cash can buy back lost years. Self-education, driven by curiosity and discipline, is what creates real fortunes and career breakthroughs—especially once you realize school barely scratched the surface. Opportunity rarely appears as a dream job handed to you; it shows up as hard work, skill development, and adding value long before any big payoff. Notable Quotes "Time is the most valuable asset that we have, so it's actually greater than money." "Most people think education stops, but everything in my career started when I realized I didn't know anything and had to go learn it myself." "People have this idealistic version of what opportunity looks like, but lack of opportunity is not what stands between you and success."

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything right all day only to lose control with food the second you walk through your front door? Most people think they have a willpower problem, when they actually have an unmet physical or emotional need. It can be common to feel like you're stuck in a cycle of grazing through the kitchen after a long day of work. Many people try to choose healthy-habit snacks like carrots when they secretly want something sweet, leading to a cascade of overeating. Others are struggling with feeling disconnected from our hunger cues, unsatisfied with their food choices, or decision fatigue. Finding peace with your evening routine is absolutely possible. But instead of searching for more willpower, we want to help you understand what needs your body may be trying to communicate to you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you experience phantom eating when your actual physical needs are not being met How to build a wind-down routine to transition from a stressful day without a snack spiral The way to identify hidden patterns in your wellness journey to regain a sense of control What it feels like to move away from diet culture and toward true food freedom How mindful eating and satisfying snacks can help you end the cycle of rebound eating We also touch on how decision fatigue contributes to emotional eating and why you must trust the process of learning to listen to your body. Taking these steps will help you prioritize your emotional wellness, and build a more supportive relationship with food. By choosing satisfying snacks and practicing intuitive eating, you can start to trust yourself again in the kitchen. Let's rebrand wellness together!

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt answers listener emails about oscilloscope aliasing—what it is, whether all scopes can do it, and how it can trick you into diagnosing failures that aren't real. Using a “pegboard and golf tees” mental model, he explains how a digital storage oscilloscope samples voltage, stores it in memory, and then reconstructs what you see on-screen. The key takeaway: aliasing isn't magic, it's math—specifically the relationship between sample rate, timebase, and memory buffer. He also explains why some scopes (especially Snap-on) behave differently than Pico-style workflows, and how misunderstanding that screen-to-buffer relationship can create fake-looking “dropouts.”Who This Episode Is ForAnyone using a handheld/PC-based automotive DSO (Pico, Snap-on, Autel, etc.)Techs chasing intermittent cutouts, crank/cam dropouts, injector events, CAN glitchesAnyone who has ever said: “The waveform looked wrong… but the fix didn't fix it.”Key Topics CoveredWhat aliasing is (in plain language): the scope fails to accurately reconstruct the waveform you're testing.Can all oscilloscopes alias? The spicy answer is yes, they all can—especially digital scopes—depending on setup and limitations.Analog vs. digital (audio analogy): Digital sampling is like digital audio—there are “samples,” and reconstruction depends on how well you capture the real signal.The “pegboard model” for DSO operation: Up/down holes = voltage levels (vertical resolution). Left/right holes = time positions (sample points in memory). The scope measures voltage, then “plants a peg” in memory and connects the dots.Vertical resolution vs. time performance: 8-bit can look stair-steppy. 12/16-bit improves vertical accuracy. But most real-world failures come from time-domain limitations (sample rate + memory dynamics)Sample rate vs. buffer size (why scopes “fall apart”): Put too little time on screen → not enough samples to define the signal. Put too much time on screen → scope rejects/skips samples because the buffer can't hold it all. Either way: the displayed waveform can become fiction.How aliasing creates “phantom dropouts”: Gaps that look like crank sensor dropouts or reluctor issues. Can send you straight into the diagnostic swampWhy Pico changed the game: Early Pico automotive scopes stood out because they brought big memory buffers to real shop problems. Capture longer events accurately, then zoom in for detailSnap-on screen/buffer behavior is different (and people get burned): Snap-on scope often shows a “window” into a buffer (buffer bar flying across). You don't “zoom in like Pico”; you effectively set detail first, capture the event, then zoom out to find it and return to your detail level. Misunderstanding this is a common cause of “dropouts” that are really aliasing/misuseThe Big TakeawaysAliasing can make a good tech chase a bad story.The waveform on-screen is an interpretation, not a photograph.Know your scope's strengths: Some are built for speed, some for memory, some for both—but your settings decide your fate.If you're hunting an intermittent: Your success depends on matching: expected event speed, sample rate, memory depth, the scope's display/buffer behavior.Practical “In-the-Bay” TipsIf the trace shows perfectly suspicious gaps: question your timebase, question your effective sample rate, verify with a different capture strategy (less time on screen, more sample rate, different scope mode)Don't trust a dropout unless: it repeats consistently under the same conditions, and you can capture it without stretching timebase beyond what your scope can support.Learn...

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on gaining influence—the essential skill for entrepreneurs, networkers, and anyone looking to close more deals or build authority. Drawing from Robert Cialdini's Influence, his podcast booking agency that hit $1M in 8 months, and years of relationship-building, Travis shares three proven paths to become undeniably influential without gimmicks or scams. On this episode we talk about: Why "be interested, not interesting" is half the networking equation—becoming a person of interest first "Badass bullets": How unique accomplishments (ultras, stadium tours, epic feats) make you a must-interview guest Value = influence: Give practical advice, entertainment, or insights to earn trust and obedience Examples from Gary Vee, MrBeast, and The Rock—how consistent value creation turns into massive business wins The power of frequency over volume: Short-form consistency builds long-term trust faster than you think Top 3 Takeaways Become a person of interest—stack unique life experiences (adventures, feats, stories) so others evangelize you naturally. Deliver value relentlessly; it doesn't have to be profound—entertainment or quick wins create loyal followers who act on your word. Stay consistent over time; frequency breeds trust, turning one-off interactions into lifelong influence. Notable Quotes "Value equals influence. The more value that you give, the more influence that you have." "People who do really interesting, cool things... become the evangelists for them just by very nature." "Be interested, not interesting... [but] being interesting is actually still a really valuable piece of the equation."

Ashley Herd is the founder of Manager Method, former Head of HR North America at McKinsey & Company, national keynote speaker, top 10 business podcast host, and a LinkedIn Top Voice who has trained over 250,000 managers. With a background that spans law, HR, and corporate leadership across global companies like McKinsey and Yum! Brands, Ashley brings a rare blend of practical wisdom and real-world empathy. Her new book, The Manager Method, provides a simple, powerful framework—Pause, Consider, Act—to help managers lead with confidence, avoid burnout, and create high-performing teams. On this episode we talk about: How Ashley made her first dollar as a Subway “sandwich artist” and the lessons it taught her about leadership Why she left a high-profile role at McKinsey to build her own leadership training business The surprising similarities between corporate leaders and front-line managers How social media helped her reach millions with practical management advice Ashley's three-step “Pause, Consider, Act” framework from her book The Manager Method What it's really like to write and publish a book with Hay House Top 3 Takeaways Great management isn't about titles or degrees—it's about practicing empathy, communication, and self-awareness. Social media can democratize leadership training, giving valuable education to people at every level. Pausing before reacting—whether as a leader, coworker, or entrepreneur—can turn a difficult moment into a growth opportunity. Notable Quotes “The smartest people in the world often need practical training just like everyone else.” “Whether it's a McKinsey partner or a McDonald's manager, everyone deserves access to good leadership training.” “Sometimes the hardest thing about leadership isn't knowing what to do—it's taking a breath before you do it.” Connect with Ashley Herd: LinkedIn: Ashley Herd on LinkedIn Twitter/X: @managermethod Instagram: @managermethod Website and Book: managermethod.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into whether "being good with money" can actually trap you in poverty by over-prioritizing frugality over life enjoyment. They debate Dave Ramsey-style saving vs. smart risks, using real stories like driving cars into the ground and delaying dream purchases until it's too late. On this episode we talk about: Trading mental health for frugality—driving 260k-mile cars as a "badge of honor" that backfires The Porsche 911 regret story: Waiting until 70 to buy your dream car, only to trade it with 2k miles Balance over extremes: Don't YOLO into debt, but don't delay family trips to Europe for "cash-only" rules Giving early and often—tips, GoFundMe, or urges—not rigid 10% church rules or corrupt nonprofits Why tipping feels best (direct impact) vs. tipping culture's annoying expectations at movie theaters Make more money as the real solution: Enjoy now and secure your future without sacrifice Top 3 Takeaways Frugality becomes toxic when it sacrifices mental health—buy the reliable car or family trip if you can afford it now, not at 72. Give generously when led to (tips, personal causes), not from guilt or rigid formulas; build the habit early regardless of income. Money's only value is what you exchange it for—prioritize experiences and peace today while protecting tomorrow by earning more. Notable Quotes "You don't want to wait till you're 72 to drive your dream car, because it's not as fun to drive when you're 72 as it is when you're 41." "If you don't build the habits when you have almost no money, you're probably not going to do it when you have some money." "Money is only useful for the things that you exchange it for."

Most professionals don't struggle because they lack experience. They struggle because they can't remember the details that give their accomplishments life. When resumes need updating or interview stories come up, people realize how much context and impact they've lost over time. And memory is a terrible career strategy. That's why today's lesson shows you how to capture your career wins so you can build a stronger résumé, tell better interview stories, and create more job opportunities. Career wins aren't just promotions or big projects. They're problems solved, improvements made, systems built, and results created along the way. If you don't document those wins as they happen, your experience gets watered down. What should sound impressive ends up sounding average. Today, I walk you through a simple system to capture your career wins so your experience leads to more vivid stories, stronger positioning, and better outcomes.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to “cut the line” in life and business using the same principle behind amusement park fast passes. Drawing from his own journey—from hating long lines to hacking his way into faster growth—he explains the mindset and identity shifts that let you skip years of unnecessary waiting. If you've ever felt stuck, behind, or like success is taking too long, this episode lays out a practical roadmap to move quicker toward the life and income you actually want. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis always buys the Fast Pass at theme parks and how that applies to life and money The power of changing your identity before your actions and habits Why valuing time over money is a critical shortcut to success How expanding your comfort zone unlocks your next level Reframing fear from rejection and embarrassment to long-term regret The importance of upgrading your circle to people who've “been there, done that” Top 3 Takeaways Change your identity first. Decide who you are (reader, runner, entrepreneur, leader) and let your actions follow that new identity instead of waiting for evidence before you believe it. Value time more than money. Money is only useful for what you exchange it for, and using it to buy back time is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your growth. Upgrade your environment—your comfort zone, your fears, and your circle. Getting around people ahead of you can save you months or years of trial and error with a few simple “tweaks.” Notable Quotes “We have a psychological desire to act in consistency with who we believe ourselves to be.” “If you're not actively using your money to buy back your time, you're probably using both ineffectively.” “Would you rather be right or would you rather be successful?” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://www.travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Mikey Margolin is the founder of Etho Wellness Club, a social platform that's thrown 33 wellness events in Las Vegas in just eight months, drawing thousands with cold plunges, saunas, movement, music, and brand partners like Ever Bowl. Growing up in Vegas' party culture, he left a sports betting job to build healthier social spaces after battling drugs, alcohol, and gambling personally. Now he's creating the "third space" locals crave—fun without vices—while turning community demand into a scalable wellness ecosystem. On this episode we talk about: Why Vegas' traditional nightlife (partying, gambling, drugs) isn't sustainable, and how Mikey spotted demand for healthy social events blending music, movement, and recovery. His personal rock bottom in the gambling industry that forced him to quit and go all-in on Etho as his only path forward. Highs of massive community support (33 seamless events, inbound brand partnerships) vs. lows of thin margins and labor-intensive operations. Tactics for high-volume events: build a visionary team, keep marketing simple (flyers at gyms, word-of-mouth), and let great experiences drive organic growth. How post-COVID population booms and mindset shifts from California/Texas transplants are making Vegas ripe for wellness as the new "capital" of health. Top 3 Takeaways Start with community over business models—throw grassroots events to test demand, gather feedback, and let partnerships/revenue streams emerge organically (like Mikey's Puma/Lululemon deals). Overcome "closed fist" fear by surrendering to the mission; opportunities like venues and sponsors appear when you create real value first, even if margins start slim. Build the "third space" people crave (beyond home/work): accessible wellness clubs for daily hangs, not elite/exclusive, to foster belonging and health without vices. Notable Quotes "Why does it always have to be the healthy ones sacrificing? Let's create environments where healthy behavior is celebrated." "Everyone believed in what we were doing, but 'how will this pay the bills?'—we surrendered, threw the first event, and doors opened we never imagined." "Vegas is shifting: casinos' gambling/drinking numbers are down because people want healthier, happier lives."

Travis Chappell teams up with his longtime friend and collaborator Eric for a fun, unfiltered episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast. Eric reads provocative quotes from thinkers like Naval Ravikant and Benjamin Franklin, challenging Travis to agree or disagree with context from his own life and business journey. Packed with laughs, banter, and real talk on fame, education, saving vs. earning, and designing your own life path. On this episode we talk about: Travis's massive nicotine stash and why he has a year's supply in his desk drawer How close friendships lead to knowing each other's stories too well (door-to-door sales, anyone?) Agree/disagree: "Life is a single player game" – owning your path without overvaluing others' opinions Agree/disagree: "You want to be rich and anonymous, not poor and famous" – podcast micro-fame vs. nightmare celebrity Agree/disagree: "The overeducated are worse off than the undereducated" – why street smarts often beat degrees Roasting Ben Franklin's "A penny saved is a penny earned" – earn more, don't obsess over coupons Top 3 Takeaways You're the main character in your own "single player game" – question inherited paths and design a life that fulfills you, not others' expectations. Aim for "rich and anonymous" over fame; meaningful connections with a niche audience build sustainable businesses without public life hassles. Focus on earning more money rather than extreme frugality – redirect "coupon-clipping" energy into income generation for real freedom. Notable Quotes "You're the only person that has to wake up every day and be you." "Spend that free time figuring out a way to make extra money and you don't have to worry about where you fill up." "Would you rather be right or would you rather be successful?"

Luca Pedretti, Co-Founder, Pexapark, returns to discuss how volatility, market design, and new contract structures are transforming power markets and renewable economics. What begins with PPA pricing quickly evolves into a broader conversation about where value is now created in the clean energy system.We start with the growing importance of IFRS 13 fair value accounting. In increasingly volatile markets, long-term forecasts are no longer sufficient. Market-implied PPA prices are moving faster than fundamentals and are becoming a key signal for future capture rates and risk, forcing investors to reassess how renewable assets are valued.The discussion then turns to Flexibility Purchase Agreements (FPAs), including tolls and floors for batteries. FPAs reflect a fundamental shift from generation toward flexibility and optimisation, as renewable-heavy systems face cannibalisation, negative prices, and widening price spreads.With clean sources now accounting for nearly half of EU power generation, these side effects are becoming structural. Solar capture rates have dropped sharply in markets such as Germany, negative prices now occur in thousands of hours across Europe, and curtailment and balancing costs are rising. Batteries have become the system's primary response.We also explore how the buyer landscape is shifting. Hyperscalers and data centres are increasingly driving private PPAs, utilities are regaining relevance through trading and optimisation, and stand-alone renewable PPAs are showing signs of saturation. Despite this, capital deployment across clean energy continues to grow, signalling a reallocation of value rather than a slowdown.The conversation concludes with a look ahead. Many renewable assets financed under merchant assumptions are now misaligned with today's pricing reality. Battery tolls and floors are scaling quickly, consolidation among IPPs is accelerating, and capture rates remain unstable. The open question remains whether any buyers are willing to pay a green premium for co-located and hybrid projects in a market where flexibility has become central to value creation.Link to Pexapark reportsIPPs:https://go.pexapark.com/next-gen-ipp-playbookRenewables Market Outlook 2026 - The Big Repricing: How volatility and BESS reshape clean energy markets (PPAs and FPAs): https://go.pexapark.com/market-outlook-2026
The Seattle Seahawks capture the Super Bowl LX championship.
Travis and producer Eric break down a viral tweet questioning Dave Ramsey's $200M net worth and "no debt" advice, revealing why he's likely worth over a billion and how he built a debt-free empire preaching timeless financial basics. On this episode we talk about: A tweet claiming Dave Ramsey got rich selling "no credit card" advice he never followed himself. Ramsey Solutions' massive scale: 10M EveryDollar app users, $300M+ annual revenue, $300-400M in paid-off real estate. Why similar apps (TrueBill/Rocket Money) sold for $1.275B, proving Ramsey's hidden billionaire status. How to vet advice from "sellers" like coaches/authors without dismissing all profitable wisdom. The power of repeating simple truths (like "spend less than you make") for decades like Ramsey or Gary Vee. Top 3 Takeaways Practice beats preaching. Ramsey lives debt-free, owns everything outright, and scaled to billions without outside capital—proving his advice works at massive scale. Question financial incentives, but don't auto-discount. If someone's advice only makes them richer via high-ticket coaching, probe deeper; low-price scalability (books/courses) is often more legit. Boring repetition builds empires. Dave's said "spend less than you earn" for 30+ years; Gary Vee's hammered social/content for 20—find your core truth and repeat relentlessly. Notable Quotes "Dave Ramsey didn't get to $200 million by never using a credit card... He got to $200 million by selling that idea to you." "EveryDollar is a multi-billion dollar company. Rocket Money (TrueBill) sold for $1.275B with 10M users—Ramsey owns it 100% debt-free." "He's been preaching the same message for 30 years and still debt is at an all-time high... but he's made a big dent for tons of people."

Travis delivers a solo masterclass on the "Credibility Code," sharing the top five proven ways he's used to build massive trust in his personal brand and business, even when he wasn't the "best" at what he did. Drawing from his own journey, he explains why the most successful people often win through perception and proof rather than just skill alone. On this episode we talk about: The "celebrity effect" and why credibility often trumps raw talent in getting business. Why PR and publications are still the lowest-hanging fruit for instant third-party validation. Building a massive library of testimonials and case studies tailored to different customer avatars. Creating high-volume content and guest appearances to overwhelm skeptics with evidence. Associating with "undeniable" influencers (like Shaq) to borrow their trust and skyrocket your brand. Top 3 Takeaways Stack social proof relentlessly. Don't just add one or two testimonials—build a library matching every possible customer scenario so prospects see themselves in your results. Volume creates conviction. Flood Google with your name through guest spots, podcasts, and backlinks until anyone researching you finds overwhelming evidence you're legit. Associate to accelerate. Share the stage with "Shaq-level" names in your niche; their endorsement transfers instant trust, often more powerfully than PR logos alone. Notable Quotes "The people who got the most business were not necessarily always the best at what they did. They were just the ones who were well known for doing it." "If anybody researched who I am... you're going to find so much volume... it's going to be overwhelming... that you can't avoid the idea that I'm credible." "Nike spends tens of billions a year in endorsements. They're basically just buying trust with their ideal audience. That's all it is."

Travis is joined in the studio by his producer Eric for a fun but honest conversation about body image, fitness culture, and what it really means to optimize your life for long‑term health and happiness instead of just aesthetics. Together they unpack a viral Arthur Brooks clip about why the “happiest men over 40 are 25 pounds overweight,” and connect it to money, family, and the pressure to perform. On this episode we talk about: How a viral Arthur Brooks clip reframes what “healthy” and “happy” actually mean after 40. Why extreme fitness goals can quietly become another form of unhealthy obsession or body dysmorphia for men. The trade‑offs behind bodybuilding, steroids, TRT, and chasing the “movie superhero” physique. Balancing physical health with relationships, shared moments (like pizza night), and being present with your family. Applying the same optimization idea to money, careers, and success so you don't sacrifice your whole life for one metric. Top 3 Takeaways Optimize across your whole life, not just one metric. Abs, money, or career status are only a few variables in the bigger equation that also includes relationships, spiritual life, joy, and service, and over‑optimizing one can wreck the others. Chasing an “ideal body” can become as dangerous as chasing money for its own sake. When your identity is tied only to a look or a number on the scale, you start making unhealthy sacrifices that actually move you away from true health and happiness. Enjoy the process and the people, not just the result. Whether it is eating carbs with your family on a trip, sharing dessert at grandma's, or having a slice of pizza with your spouse, those small moments often matter more than perfect macros or picture‑perfect abs. Notable Quotes “You have to optimize across more than one variable. You have your abs, joy in your relationships, and spiritual transcendence—all different variables you're trying to optimize simultaneously.” “To pursue the result at the expense of your personal health along the way is the opposite reason most of us started doing this in the first place.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it is easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got money in the bank—so let's solve that one first.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All‑In‑One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell shares strategies from his "Explode Your Network" course on crafting balanced networks across success levels—basement (beginners), first-story (peers), second-story (slightly ahead), and cloud-level (ultra-successful). He explains how unbalanced networks breed complacency or ego traps, and reveals how to design "houses" of relationships for health, finance, and fulfillment. On this episode we talk about: Building a well-rounded network across four levels: helping those behind you, collaborating with peers, learning from those slightly ahead, and tapping abundance mindsets from the ultra-successful. Dangers of unbalanced networks—like complacency when surrounded only by beginners or limited advice from those just ahead who secretly root against your surpassing them. Crafting specialized "houses" for life areas (health, finance, fulfillment) with tailored relationships at each success ladder level. How your environment shapes your habits, beliefs, and actions—curate podcasts, social media, and inputs to redesign yourself without physical relocation. Starting content like podcasts to contribute to beginners while accelerating your own growth through teaching. Top 3 Takeaways Balance your network across success levels to avoid stagnation, ego-driven limits, or irrelevant advice—help those behind, peer effectively, learn selectively, and seek top-level abundance thinking. Design multiple "houses" of relationships for health, wealth, and fulfillment to build well-rounded success, not just one-dimensional wins. Own your environment: virtual inputs like podcasts and YouTube become your outputs, giving you control over who you become even without changing locations. Notable Quotes "They're rooting for you to be successful until you hit the limit that makes you then more successful than they are." "If your environment is what controls who you're going to be and you have control over your environment, then ultimately you have control over the person that you're going to be." "The inputs that you have will eventually become your outputs."

On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell shares three simple—but not easy—habits that create a massive competitive edge: showing up, doing what you say, and embracing boring consistency. He draws from his journey leaving door-to-door sales for online business, explaining how these "duh" principles separate top performers from the pack. On this episode we talk about: How just showing up consistently at key events and opportunities builds trust, relationships, and unexpected doors—like Travis flying to Australia for a podcast conference. Why doing what you say you'll do—even to yourself—builds unshakeable confidence and reputation, while breaking promises burns bridges. The power of getting "prolifically comfortable" with boring, repetitive tasks like daily cold calling or lead gen that compound into massive results. Overcoming modern barriers like the "indoor epidemic" of phones and Netflix that make showing up feel harder than ever. How anyone can apply these to fields like real estate, sales, or online business for outsized success without fancy degrees or rich parents. Top 3 Takeaways Show up everywhere opportunities happen—even if it's inconvenient like flying halfway around the world—because half the battle is just being there when others aren't. Do what you say you're going to do with everyone, including yourself, to build trust, confidence, and avoid self-sabotage from broken promises. Get predictably comfortable with boring consistency in lead gen or daily tasks; the first months suck, but compounding separates the top 1% from everyone else. Notable Quotes "If you're willing to do the things that other people are not willing to do, then you can live a life that nobody else can live." "Showing up is just half the battle... usually more opportunity is going to come your way." "Get prolifically comfortable with boring consistency... those activities will compound."

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and his producer Eric break down a wild new headline: top TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, reportedly selling his company and full AI likeness rights—face, voice, and behavior—for a staggering $900 million. They riff on what that means for creators, the ethics and upside of licensing your digital twin, and how AI is reshaping content, Hollywood, and the value of attention. Along the way, they veer into everything from Japanese conglomerates that make both bulldozers and magic wands to why practical filmmaking still matters in an AI-saturated world. On this episode we talk about: Khaby Lame's rise from 2020 pandemic creator to 160M+ TikTok followers and a $900M likeness deal What it really means to authorize your face, voice, and behavior for AI “digital twin” use The difference between using AI as a tool (editing, simulation) versus fully replacing human talent How AI content, deep fakes, and fake “news” clips are eroding trust in what we see online Why practical filmmaking tricks and imperfect, human moments still matter more than flawless AI shots Top 3 Takeaways The value of attention is exploding, and top creators can now monetize not just sponsorships and licensing, but their entire digital twin for generational wealth. There's a huge ethical and creative gap between using AI to support production (editing, simulations) and using it to fully replace human performers, likenesses, and original work. For most creators and entrepreneurs, the actionable move is simple: consistently create and publish, because you have no idea how valuable your personal brand and IP might become in a few short years. Notable Quotes “He sold his likeness for $900 million. I don't even know what to say. That breaks my brain.” “Churches are businesses and evangelizing is marketing and sales—but this AI likeness deal is like selling your soul on hard mode.” “If you're not creating content, you could be missing out on $900 million. You never know what one simple idea might turn into.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Travis is joined by fractional CFO Pam Jordan, who helps entrepreneurs understand their numbers and build profitable, sustainable businesses. Pam brings a data-driven lens to the Travis Makes Money podcast P&L, breaking down exactly how the show generated $450,000 in 2025 and what that really means after costs and profit margins. On this episode we talk about: How the Travis Makes Money podcast generated $450,000 in 2025 and the three revenue streams behind it (ads, coaching, concierge growth services). Why ad and sponsorship income made up 70% of revenue and how aggressive publishing (up to 2–3 episodes per day) drove those results. The role of podcast coaching as a 14% revenue stream and how Travis helps entrepreneurs launch and grow shows that drive business. Concierge growth services (16% of revenue) and how getting booked on other podcasts can lead to clients, book deals, and big opportunities. The true cost structure of the podcast (30% direct production costs, 20% advertising) and why a 35% net operating income makes this a healthy media business. Top 3 Takeaways You can build a real, profitable income directly from a podcast, but it typically takes years, consistent content, and a strategic approach to revenue (not just downloads). Publishing more frequently—paired with dynamic ad insertion—can dramatically increase total monthly impressions and sponsorship revenue, often faster than trying to grow downloads per episode. Podcasting is more than ad dollars; it's a business development engine that creates content, sharpens communication skills, builds relationships, and can lead to coaching, services, and other high-margin offers. Notable Quotes "For 2025, Travis Makes Money podcast brought in $450,000, and 70% of that was ads and sponsorship income." "It proved a really big thing to me, which is that it is possible to turn the podcast itself into a full-time income." "It's not what you make that matters, it's what you keep."

Vinny Brusco is an insight and perspective coach, community builder, and podcast host who helps men cultivate clarity, connection, and purpose. After 16 years in the car business, he walked away from a lucrative but misaligned career to build a life and business rooted in what matters most to him: authentic brotherhood, mental and spiritual health, and intentional living. As the founder of Agora Social Club and host of The Council of Dudes podcast (with over 500 episodes), Vinny creates spaces where men can drop the performative self-help act and actually live in alignment instead of autopilot. On this episode we talk about: Leaving a high-income, misaligned career for a more meaningful path How sales skills become a “break glass in case of emergency” safety net Why fulfillment in the pursuit matters more than status or titles The loneliness epidemic among men and entrepreneurs Building real, local community through Agora Social Club and long-form conversation Top 3 Takeaways You can be making great money and still be completely out of alignment—and no number in your bank account will fix that internal mismatch. Learning to sell is one of the most valuable “forever skills” you can develop, giving you the confidence to take bigger risks in pursuit of a life you actually want. Deep, in-person community and long-form conversation are antidotes to modern male loneliness, especially for entrepreneurial men who often feel isolated at the top. Notable Quotes “This isn't a weekend hobby; it's a heart-and-soul project that needs a life force behind it.” “If you'd still do it even if you never became ‘the best' at it, you're probably on the right path.” “The transaction is just an energetic byproduct of a real, authentic conversation.” Connect with Vinny Brusco: Instagram (personal): @vinnybrusco Agora Social Club website: agorasocialclub.com Instagram (club): @agora_westchester Podcast: The Council of Dudes Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and his producer Eric break down how growing up doing church evangelism and door-to-door ministry directly built the skills that now drive their success in sales, business, and live events. They connect boldness, public speaking, and persuasive event design from the church world to modern seminar businesses, high-ticket offers, and entrepreneurship. On this episode we talk about: How knocking doors for church as a kid builds boldness, courage, and comfort with rejection. The parallels between churches and businesses: evangelism as marketing and sales, discipleship as fulfillment, and church growth as a sophisticated funnel. How youth conferences, altar calls, and engineered environments mirror modern seminar and event-based business models. Why public speaking is one of the most powerful skills you can give your kids and how Travis and Eric developed it in church. How event companies like Aspire use massive, break-even events to feed a back-end engine of services for entrepreneurs. Top 3 Takeaways The exercise of boldness in evangelism—asking uncomfortable questions on doorsteps—translates directly into overcoming fear of rejection and confidently asking for the sale. Churches often run like sophisticated businesses, using events, emotional environments, and clear calls-to-action in ways that mirror high-performing seminar and funnel-driven companies. Early, repeated reps in public speaking and performing in front of people create an unfair advantage in leadership, sales, and content creation later in life. Notable Quotes "Churches are businesses… evangelizing is marketing and sales. That's literally what it is." "Boldness and courage are wildly underrated aspects of success in any business venture." "You did all this work…and you're not going to ask for the business?"

On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell breaks down the three core levers that determine the overall quality of your life and, ultimately, your long-term success. Drawing from his own journey as a podcaster, entrepreneur, and student of personal development, Travis shares practical frameworks you can apply immediately to upgrade your thinking, your routines, and your relationships. On this episode we talk about: Why the quality of your life is shaped by three core factors: questions, habits, and relationships. How asking better questions leads to better answers, deeper self-awareness, and clearer direction. A practical exercise for sitting down with a blank page and writing questions that guide your next steps. How to think about discipline as a “bank account” and use it to systematically build powerful habits. Why your long-term happiness and success are most strongly tied to the depth and quality of your closest relationships. Top 3 Takeaways The quality of your questions—both to yourself and to others—determines the quality of your answers, your beliefs, and ultimately your actions. Discipline resets daily like a bank account, so focus on using it to build small, sequential habits that eventually appear effortless to outsiders. Over the long run, the depth and strength of your key relationships are the single biggest predictor of your happiness and fulfillment. Notable Quotes "Ask better questions, you get better answers." "Show me your habits now, and I'll show you who you'll be in five years from now." "Relationships plus nothing equals everything to me."

In this episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell and co-host Eric dive into the art of authentic sales — how to close deals without turning into the stereotypical pushy salesperson. From viral TikTok sales videos to lessons learned in door-to-door, they explore how humor, confidence, and clarity can elevate your sales game and help you build long-term trust with clients. On this episode we talk about: Why entertaining content can make you a better salesperson The right (and wrong) way to use assumptive language How to handle price questions early in a sales call Why offering too many options kills conversions The importance of having one clear call to action Top 3 Takeaways Sales isn't manipulation — it's communication. Confidence and clarity lead to better conversions. Limit your prospects' choices. One clear offer beats a dozen confusing ones every time. You're not just selling to anyone — you're choosing clients who are the right fit for you. Notable Quotes “Sales is just communication, and it happens in everyday life.” “If you've done your job right, the close should be the natural conclusion to the presentation.” “Your job is to create certainty, not confusion.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: twitter.com/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis.

In this solo episode, Travis dives deep into one of the most powerful success principles he's observed in hundreds of high-achieving entrepreneurs — delayed gratification. Drawing on lessons from personal experience, top performers like Grant Cardone and Kevin Hart, and timeless studies like the Marshmallow Experiment, Travis breaks down why learning to wait for bigger rewards later can completely change your financial, physical, and personal life. On this episode we talk about: How delayed gratification sets the foundation for lasting success The Marshmallow Test and what it teaches about life outcomes Avoiding the “Jones Effect” and unnecessary spending Why choosing short-term comfort leads to long-term struggle Finding balance between enjoying the present and building for the future Top 3 Takeaways Success often comes down to your ability to delay gratification — trading short-term pleasure for long-term gain. Living below your means today gives you the freedom to live on your terms tomorrow. Balance is key: allow yourself small rewards now while you continue building for future success. Notable Quotes “You can have everything you want — just not now.” “Choosing struggle now gives you control over how your life turns out later.” “If you're constantly optimizing for pleasure today, you're sacrificing your peace of mind tomorrow.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: twitter.com/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis.

Guest: David Shedd. Shedd warns against selling advanced chips to China, describing Beijing's "capture, cage, and kill" economic strategy and criticizing the U.S. administration's transactional approach. With Thaddeus MCCotter co-host.1955
Guest: Dan Flores. Flores critiques 19th-century explorers, noting how Lewis and Clark needlessly slaughtered grizzlies and how Audubon, though later regretful, killed birds to capture their likenesses.1873 VULTURE BISON
Alejandro Peña Esclusa explains that while Europeans criticize Maduro's capture, Venezuelans support it, hoping for the release of remaining political prisoners under a new amnesty law restoring democratic governance.1890 CASTRO CABNET, CARACAS
What if a scripted TV raid on Venezuela turned into real-life headlines? In this eye-opening episode, Glenn sits down with investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen to unpack the shocking U.S. operation that captured Maduro — drawing direct parallels to her advisory work on the show “Jack Ryan,” where she pushed for “an authentic kill-or-capture mission inside Venezuela.” Glenn shares his take on Trump's unorthodox strategy, noting, “I felt like he took one stone and knocked out 200 birds,” with ripple effects impacting China, Russia, and beyond. Delving into advanced weaponry, Annie explains how Havana syndrome technology has “existed since the '50s,” while Glenn warns of the rapid advancement of AI and drone warfare. The duo discusses Trump's nuclear fears, the limits of presidential power and intelligence agencies, Greenland, and the feasibility of the “Golden Dome” — before agreeing that, as we witness this rapidly accelerating arms race that could redefine global conflict, we must work together to prevent World War III.
