In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell and producer Eric go from questionable breakfast choices to a surprisingly deep breakdown of housing prices, crypto volatility, inflation, and what actually drives wealth over time. What starts as a lighthearted conversation about gas station hot dogs and Tostino's pizza turns into a real discussion about reacting to headlines, investing during downturns, and recent housing comments from Donald Trump. The throughline? If you want to make money, you have to think in decades—not days. On This Episode We Talk About: Why emotional reactions hurt your investing returns Whether rising housing prices are actually good for homeowners Institutional investors buying single-family homes The real reason housing prices stay elevated: inventory shortages Crypto downturns and how to think about volatility Inflation, dollar weakness, and protecting purchasing power Why over-leveraging—not price drops—causes financial disasters Top 3 Takeaways You don't need your house or crypto to be up tomorrow. You need it to be up 20–25 years from now. Wealth compounds for those who can hold. Housing prices won't meaningfully drop until inventory increases. With only 1–3 months of inventory in many markets, upward pressure remains regardless of policy changes. If inflation weakens the dollar over time, idle cash erodes. Even small investments—done consistently—can protect purchasing power better than letting money sit still. Notable Quotes “I don't need my house to be worth more tomorrow. I need it to be worth more in 25 years.” “Once you put your first dollar in, you want it to go to the moon.” “Cash sitting in your bank account is getting destroyed by inflation.” “The housing crash wasn't about prices falling—it was about people not being able to hold.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In this New Year episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Lisa Vino and Russell Nolte are joined by David Viergutz, founder of Scare Mail and CEO of Epistolary.com, to talk about a business metric Lisa now can't unsee: AOV (Average Order Value). What begins as a direct-sales strategy conversation quickly turns into a masterclass on premium experiences, fandom-building, and escaping the tired publishing “rat race.” David shares how he went from running ads in the 20 Books / SPS model to building a thriving story-letter empire, why epistolary fiction is story-first or die, and how authors can experiment with higher-priced offers without losing the magic. The through-line: in a world flooded with AI and noise, the advantage is human creativity, bold formats, and products that feel like experiences.Topics Covered:* What AOV (Average Order Value) is and why it matters for direct sales* Thinking like a business owner without losing your author soul* David's origin story: list-building, ads, and long-term strategy* Why niche audiences can still generate massive success* “Taylor Swift pricing” as a mindset shift for premium offers* Why experiences sell: readers remember how something made them feel* The birth of Scare Mail: the mailbox as a storytelling medium* Epistolary fiction basics: letters, artifacts, rabbit holes, and immersion* Why some stories should never be “novelized”* Building a blue ocean: creating a category people can't comparison-shop* Why the most online generation craves print and human touch* How fandom deepens through participation and interactivity* “Move closer to the customer” as a modern business principle* Building a cult-level fanbase one person at a time* The “thousand true fans” concept applied to premium fiction* Author archetypes and why “aquatic” creators win by reinventing formats* Premium experiences that scale like books: create once, sell forever* The customer journey is the same for gum, books, and Teslas (attention is the difference)* Why Amazon's rules aren't the only axis you can play on* Why KU is not the whole market (and why authors mistake it for the whole audience)* Pricing power: increasing prices without dips when the experience is unique* The economics problem: $20 customer acquisition vs. $3.99 products* Direct sales advantages: owning the customer relationship and reducing noise* Indie presses and “algorithm rain” strategies that don't actually market* The Fire & Ice offer: two versions, premium pricing, and upsells to raise AOV* Why customers should pay shipping (and why authors often sabotage margins)* Risk reversal: refunding + buying a competitor's book as a bold trust play* Testing product ideas cheaply: MOQ realities and starting with paper-based artifacts* Story-letter fundamentals: hook the story first, then explain the delivery* The epistolary rule: if you can't explain “why letters?” start over* Artifacts defined: what counts, what works, and what's lazy filler* Examples of artifacts: polaroids, recipes, journal entries, QR codes, audio links, word searches, ribbons, puzzles* Designing artifacts to enhance story, not add envelope weight* The “scavenger hunt” model: clues, interaction, and layered payoff* Creativity as competitive advantage in an AI-saturated world* “Get weird” as strategy: uniqueness creates true blue-ocean differentiation* Where to find David and how to pitch an epistolary project This is a public episode.

In this final conversation with Becky Aten and Theo Wildcroft, we dive into the concept of neuroqueering—the practice of disrupting what's considered “normal” in both neurotypical and heteronormative culture. Through laughter, curiosity, and deep reflection, we explore how yoga spaces can move away from rigid, productivity-driven ideals and instead celebrate unusual bodies, brains, and ways of being.We talk about queerness as a refusal of capitalist productivity, the deep intersections between neurodiversity and trauma, and why morality has quietly shaped how yoga is supposed to look and feel. This episode invites yoga professionals to embrace experimentation, question the “why” behind their teaching choices, and allow a little more weirdness—because that's often where freedom, healing, and creativity live.RESOURCES2026 Industry ForecastWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterThe Back RoomSponsorship OpportunitiesGUEST LINKSTheo WildcroftBecky Aten

In this short podcast, Bryan answers a listener-submitted question and explains why heat pumps get a bit weird: when it comes to superheat in heat mode. He also explains how we can move heat from outdoors to indoors, even in temperatures below freezing (cold temperatures just have less heat, not zero heat). In order to move heat in very cold conditions, we need very low suction pressures and cold coils, which gives us a high compression ratio. Superheat will be affected by these conditions. Remember: superheat that is too low can cause floodback, and superheat that is too high can cause the compressor to overheat. Superheat is easy to check in cooling mode, but it's harder in heating mode, especially since the suction line is at the outdoor unit. In heating mode, we can only measure superheat between the coil outlet and the reversing valve inlet, which is a very short run of tubing. The superheat will also be less stable in heat mode in cold weather, and it will have a wider range of "normal" values than cooling mode, depending on the conditions. Superheat could even drop to zero with some fixed-orifice metering devices (which would cause floodback). That's why many of these heat pumps have accumulators, which collect liquid refrigerant to protect the compressor. Even though TXVs attempt to maintain superheat, you may still see some variation in heat mode during cold weather. EEVs are common in ductless systems and are highly controllable but maintain relatively low superheats by design; fast metering control, intelligent logic, accumulators, and low refrigerant charges allow them to avoid floodback in low temperatures. In any case, spikes and drops in temperature can cause the superheat to jump or collapse because the load changes (as the outdoor coil is the evaporator). Frost buildup on the coil also inhibits airflow and heat transfer, causing the superheat to change as the evaporator pressure and temperature drop. Defrost also introduces chaos to the equation. All of these should influence your judgment when checking superheat to diagnose or commission a system in heat mode.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

We often think that success in farming is measured by the number of acres we farm or the number of livestock we raise. That isn’t necessarily wrong, but Josh Payne helps us look at agriculture from a different perspective, maximizing the profit per acre and creating a multitude of opportunities along the way. We call it “get big or get weird” and I think you’ll find his version of getting weird in farming isn’t that unusual and may just fit all of us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John 4:1-15FIVE PRINCIPLES FOR SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONSTRANSITION:“From Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman, I want to give you five practical principles that you can use THIS WEEKPRINCIPLE #1: START WHERE THEY ARE“Notice how Jesus begins. He doesn't launch into a sermon. He doesn't hand her a tract. He asks for a drink of water!John 4:7 Jesus started with something natural, something she could relate to. He met her at her point of need—she had water, He was thirsty.Start conversations where people already are. Talk about their job, their family, their struggles, their interests. Find common ground.1 Corinthians 9:22Don't be weird. Don't be pushy. Just be HUMAN. Build a bridge through genuine interest and conversation.”“Ask questions! People love talking about themselves. ‘How's your family?' ‘What do you do for work?' How were you raised spiritually ‘How are you handling all the stress in the world right now?'PRINCIPLE #2: CREATE CURIOSITY“Once Jesus has her attention, watch what He does:John 4:10He didn't force the conversation. He INTRIGUED her. He made her curious. She had to ask, ‘What are you talking about? What is this living water?'You don't have to explain the entire gospel in 30 seconds. You don't have to argue or debate. Just create curiosity.Share your story in a way that makes people want to know more.Tell story about Charlene 1 Peter 3:15Did you catch that? WHEN they ask. Create curiosity, and they'll ASK!”PRINCIPLE #3: GO FROM PHYSICAL TO SPIRITUALJesus is a master at this. He takes something physical—water—and turns it into something spiritual.John 4:13-14 He's saying, ‘You're focused on physical water, but I'm offering you something that satisfies your SOUL.'Listen for spiritual hunger underneath physical conversations.Someone says, ‘I'm so stressed at work.' → You can say, ‘I used to feel that way until I found peace in my relationship with God.'Someone says, ‘I'm so lonely.' → You can say, ‘I've learned that only God can fill that hole in our hearts.'Someone says, ‘I feel like my life has no purpose.' → You can say, ‘That's exactly how I felt before I discovered God's plan for my life.'Every physical need points to a deeper spiritual need. Jesus knew that. And He gently moved the conversation from surface level to soul level.”PRINCIPLE #4: BE HONEST ABOUT SIN—BUT WITH COMPASSION“This is where a lot of Christians mess up. We either avoid talking about sin altogether, or we come across as judgmental and harsh.Talk about your struggle with sin… Some of the peace and victory you have seen."Your mess can become your message, and your test can become your testimony."Watch how Jesus handles it:John 4:16-18Jesus is DIRECT. He doesn't sugarcoat her sin. But notice His tone—He's not condemning her. He's revealing her need for a Savior.Don't avoid talking about sin, but speak the truth in LOVE.Ephesians 4:15“Here's the secret: Jesus didn't bring up her sin to SHAME her—He brought it up to SHOW her she needed the living water only HE could provide.When you talk about sin, always point to the SOLUTION: Jesus.”PRINCIPLE #5: MAKE IT PERSONAL—REVEAL JESUS“The woman keeps trying to make the conversation theoretical. She wants to debate theology and argue about where to worship.But Jesus brings it back to HIM:John 4:25-26Boom. There it is. ‘I'm the one you're looking for. I'm the answer to your search.'At some point in the conversation, you have to make it about JESUS.Not religion. Not church. Not rules. JESUS.Acts 4:12 “Your testimony is powerful. Tell them what Jesus has done in YOUR life. Not in a preachy way, but in a personal, authentic way.‘Let me tell you how Jesus gave me purpose when I felt worthless.'‘Let me tell you how Jesus forgave me when I thought I was too far gone.'Revelation 12:11 says we overcome ‘by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of [our] testimony.'”

This week on Barely Cinematic, we descend into the beautifully unhinged universe of Bugonia. A film where conspiracy, delusion, and extraterrestrial paranoia hold hands and skip into the void. Jesse Plemons stars as a man absolutely convinced that a powerful CEO (played by Emily Stone) is actually an alien disguised as a human. Naturally, the only logical next step is kidnapping, interrogation, and an existential meltdown.

In our faith journey, we often encounter moments that challenge our understanding of God's ways. Today, we delve into the fascinating realm of 'holy weirdness' – those instances in Scripture where God calls His prophets to perform strange, even shocking acts. We explore examples like Ezekiel's symbolic siege, Hosea's marriage to Gomer, and Isaiah's naked prophecy. These accounts remind us that God's methods can be unpredictable and uncomfortable, stretching us beyond our comfort zones. As we approach the end times, we may witness more of these perplexing spiritual manifestations. The key lesson here is to cultivate discernment, humility, and an open heart. We're encouraged to slow down our judgments, seek the Lord's guidance, and remember that while God is not the author of confusion, He may use the unconventional to grab our attention and convey profound truths. This episode of Mavericks & Misfits challenges us to examine our own spiritual boxes and preconceptions, inviting us to embrace a faith that's alive, dynamic, and sometimes wonderfully weird.

The internet was supposed to set us free. But somewhere along the way, it became a tool for surveillance, extraction, and control. What happened? And is there still time to reclaim the weird, untapped potential of the digital world? This week, Sean is joined by Douglas Rushkoff. He's a media theorist, author of Survival of the Richest and Team Human, and host of the Team Human podcast. They trace the arc of the internet from its utopian beginnings to its corporate capture, and explore what it would take to build something different. Along the way, they talk about the loss of weirdness, the logic of capitalism, the dangers of scale, and the difference between systems thinking and systems feeling. They also reflect on whether it's still possible to use technology to foster a more connected and communal life.
