Many gym owners we talk to struggle with how to program for a group training model.  On today's show I breakdown our step by step guide on how to do this the right way. Without sacrificing results for your clients while freeing up hours of your time every week.  Enjoy the show. 

In this episode of Make Your Message a Movement, host Tiffany Neuman explores the concept of building an authority brand and the invisible ceiling that founders encounter when their external brand no longer matches their internal identity, or vice versa. Rather than treating branding as a superficial collection of logos and content, Tiffany explains that a truly powerful authority brand requires deep alignment across four essential layers: magnetic messaging, visual expression of authority, a conversion-based platform, and energetic congruence.Key TakeawaysThe Four Layers of an Authority Brand:Magnetic Messaging: Clear positioning and a compelling point of view that addresses audience psychographics, preventing you from getting lost in a sea of generic, AI-generated voices.Visual Expression of Authority: Intentional, modern, and distinct design choices that close the gap between your true expertise and how the market perceives your credibility.Conversion-Based Platform: A strategically built website (not just a digital brochure) that confirms credibility, reduces friction, and guides high-level clients, event organizers, and partners to take the next step.Energetic Congruence: The ability to fully inhabit the brand position you have built—standing in your authority, quoting your rates without apology, and expanding your capacity to receive new opportunities without shrinking back.Branding for Where You're Going: When you reverse-engineer a brand for the next 3 to 10 years of your business, your perception catches up and reality accelerates.The Invisible Ceiling: Launching an upgraded brand can sometimes trigger your ego or stretch your capacity. The real expansion often begins after the website launches as the market responds to your elevated positioning and you learn to step into that room.Mentioned ResourcesConnect with Tiffany on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanyneuman/Schedule a call with Tiffany: https://tidycal.com/tiffany1/bosfdiscoverycallRate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

Mitch Harper joined DJ & PK to talk about the BYU football program and the continuing story about Kalani Sitake wanting more resources from BYU administration.

Nathan Zegura joins the show from the road to break down the Browns' quarterback battle, saying Shedeur Sanders has been the most consistent once the ball is snapped while Deshaun Watson's pre-snap operation and arm talent remain the best of the group, though his accuracy has been inconsistent. He also maps out his best-guess starting offensive line, flagging real uncertainty at center and right guard depending on how Wyatt Teller or Brailsford win that battle. Zegura raves about Jared Verse's leadership already rivaling what the Rams reportedly mourned losing in Myles Garrett, and names Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion as his top training camp standouts at receiver.

EPISODE 749 - Nicole Ward - Bio-hacking for the Sales Athlete - For Executives, sales leaders, founders, and anyone performing at a high levelAuthor and corporate executive Nicole Ward joins from Los Angeles to share how a late in life wake up call transformed her health, career, and now her work as an author and podcaster. She describes never really seeing herself as an author until, in her early fifties, inspiration suddenly “volcanoed” into a book idea that connected three areas of expertise in a way she had never seen before. Once she was clear on what she wanted to say, the writing process became energizing rather than intimidating, helped by an editor who protected her natural voice while shaping the manuscript.Nicole explains why she chose to self publish, after being told traditional publishers might take years to bring her book to market. Encouraged by other authors, she invested strategically in professional editing, book design, and a second editorial review to ensure the book looked and read at a high level. She also built a personal advisory board of thirteen people from diverse backgrounds, asking them for blunt, honest feedback that led to key improvements and helped her refine the final version.At the heart of the conversation is Nicole's broader mission: The Executive Athlete. Drawing on her career working with C suite leaders and board members, she is focused on “bringing consciousness to power” by helping high level decision makers regulate their health, manage stress, and extend their healthspan. She demystifies biohacking as simply using data, tools, and targeted supplementation to understand your unique biology and age as well as possible, not as an extreme lifestyle reserved for tech billionaires. Her own journey began when, at thirty five, she was sixty pounds overweight, inflamed, exhausted, and so overworked that after rolling her SUV she worried more about missing a meeting than the accident itself.Nicole shares practical, accessible strategies for busy professionals, like “exercise snacking” small bursts of movement with bands, light weights, or stairs throughout the day that can add up to real fitness without a 5 a.m. workout. She stresses that supplements are meant to augment, not replace, fundamentals like sleep, nutrition, and recovery, and that meaningful change comes from choosing one or two realistic actions instead of trying to overhaul everything at once. This same ethos shapes her two podcasts: Aon at the Top, where she interviews mid market corporate leaders about their path to the C suite, and The Executive Athlete, focused on executives who prioritize health, wellness, and longevity.Speaking directly to listeners who feel stuck, unhealthy, or like they always put themselves last, Nicole is candid about once being a “quitter” with her health and pushing it to the bottom of her priority list. She underscores that change is possible at any age by taking small, consistent steps, honoring commitments to yourself, and giving yourself grace when you fall short. Her before and after story, now documented in her book and content, illustrates how rebuilding your health can not only transform your body but also your confidence, leadership, and capacity to show up fully for your family, colleagues, and community.https://www.nicoleelizabethward.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

On today's episode, Part 2 of the same keynote, Dr. Mark Costes continues his tactical playbook for building a more effective, systemized dental practice. He breaks down the five core steps of leadership, explains how to set clear expectations, and shares practical frameworks for accountability, team meetings, performance reviews, feedback, and KPI tracking.  Mark also covers the hidden cost of turnover, how to evaluate culture and alignment, why organizational charts matter, and how tools like time journals, end-of-day protocols, and downtime systems can help a practice run more efficiently without everything flowing through the owner.

Is your bow truly tuned, or are you just getting away with it? In this episode of the Days in the Wild Podcast, I sit down with Chris Dunlap of Elk River Archery to take a deep dive into one of the most overlooked—and most important—aspects of bowhunting success:  Whether you're chasing elk in the mountains, whitetails from a treestand, or preparing for 3D competitions, proper bow tune can mean the difference between a perfect shot and a wounded animal. Chris breaks down the science behind  tuning in a way that's easy to understand, explaining why and how to make the adjustments that lead to tighter groups and greater forgiveness.

On today's episode, Part 1 of a two-part keynote, Dr. Mark Costes shares a tactical playbook for leading and operating a high-performing dental practice. Drawing from his experience owning 16 practices—and from the mistakes he made along the way—Mark explains why a practice that cannot run without the owner is ultimately just a job with overhead.  He breaks down the current state of dentistry, including workforce shortages, rising operating costs, declining practice ownership, burnout, and the growing pressure on dental leaders. Mark also introduces the leadership, systemization, accountability, patient-experience, marketing, and financial frameworks that can help dentists remove themselves as bottlenecks and build healthier, more profitable businesses.

Service businesses usually don't struggle because they lack leads, they struggle because those leads aren't being captured, nurtured, or turned into consistent, predictable revenue. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, AI growth architect Francis Rodino, author of Leads Machine and founder of Lead Hero AI, explains why simply signing up for a CRM like Go High Level or installing the latest AI tool is never enough. The real leverage comes from doing the deep strategic work most business owners skip: understanding your ideal clients, their pain points, desires, and fears, and then building a revenue engine that turns that insight into sales. Francis breaks down why so many home service, trades, and local businesses feel burned by agencies, Facebook ads, and half-built funnels. They confuse software with strategy, thinking a shiny new CRM or AI agent will fix everything. Instead, Francis walks us through the nine-step Leads Machine system that underpins his book, a framework that connects the entire customer journey: from market research and messaging, to follow-up, sales processes, and retention. He shares how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude can accelerate the “deep work” of customer understanding, but stresses that AI is the drill, not the painting, the tech is only as good as the strategy behind it. You'll hear a powerful case study from a SaaS company called Book Magic, which helps authors write books using AI. They were sitting on a goldmine of 8,000+ dormant leads stuck in ActiveCampaign with no real customer journey. Francis' team migrated them to High Level, cleaned and segmented the data, and launched an AI-powered database reactivation campaign via SMS and WhatsApp. The result? They doubled their MRR in just two months without spending a cent on ads, by simply re-engaging and nurturing leads they already had. Throughout the conversation, Francis returns to a central theme: make marketing human again. Even as AI agents, automation, and complex tech stacks become more advanced, the fundamentals of human psychology haven't changed. People still buy from people. The businesses that win won't be the ones who spam prospects with robotic AI slop, but those who use AI to enhance empathy, relevance, and timing, crafting campaigns and follow-ups that feel like genuine conversations, not canned scripts. Francis explains how to align AI, CRM, and automation with real human behavior so that teams actually use the tools, leads are followed up with, and sales pipelines don't quietly leak money. https://youtu.be/DvjBVHQPwis?si=7x0lVwTuRb3vY7eL If you're a service or home services business owner staring at a barely-used Go High Level account, frustrated with inconsistent sales, or overwhelmed by all the AI “hype,” this episode will show you what's really possible. You'll learn how to turn your existing lead list into a reliable revenue engine, how to think about your tech stack as part of a bigger strategy, and how Francis' nine-step Leads Machine framework can help you scale from early-stage chaos to multi-seven figures. Tune in to discover how to build AI-first revenue systems that are deeply human, highly profitable, and built to last. Quotes: "The biggest myth is that these systems are easy and they are fully automated, and you just sit back, do a lot of nothing, and the sales and the leads roll in."  "Automation, AI, and tech are never a replacement for fundamental human psychology. At the end of the day, we're selling to people and marketing to people." "Let's make marketing human again. The more empathetic and less robotic we can craft our AI to be, the more of a leg up those businesses will have in the short term."

I don't win by trying to extract value from other people or situations. I create value first, and that's where my leverage comes from. I often give more than I receive in return, but that approach is exactly why I keep winning. What I produce and contribute matters more than what I take for myself. Show Notes: [02:49]#1 High level men lead with value, not with need. [12:16]#2 Giving establishes authority and control. [16:21]#3 High level men play long term, not transactional.  [22:43] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to be a tender wife?Our culture often equates tenderness with weakness, passivity, or being easily hurt. But the Bible paints a completely different picture. A tender heart is one that remains soft before God, compassionate toward others, and responsive to the Holy Spirit—even in a hard world.In this episode, we'll explore the biblical meaning of tenderness through Scripture, from King Josiah's tender heart to God's tender mercies and the tender branch that signals new life. You'll discover why tenderness isn't the absence of strength but strength fully surrendered to Christ, and how a soft heart becomes one of the enemy's greatest defeats.Because a High Level Wife isn't weak.She is tender before God, tenacious against the enemy, and committed to taking back the territory he stole.

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. The final segment of Forrest's account explores the dark possibilities of Billy's fate and the FBI's high-level awareness of the case. While some contacts suggested Billy might have simply disappeared into Russia or traveled to the Far East, Anastasia Mikhailovska offers a much bleaker theory: that Billy was taken into custody, tortured for information, and his body disposed of in a lake in one of the breakaway republics of Eastern Ukraine. This blunt assessment stands in contrast to more optimistic theories but aligns with the brutal reality of the Donbas conflict. Back in Washington, Forrest attends a retirement party at the Department of Justice, where he encounters Paul Abate. At the time Billy went to Russia, Abate was the Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit field office—the man who would have overseen Billy's handlers and the investigation into his disappearance. By 2018, Abate had risen to become the third-highest-ranking official in the entire FBI. When Forrest approaches him, Abate reveals that he already knows who Forrest is and is intimately familiar with the Riley case, despite no stories having been published yet. This high-level recognition suggests that the "secret wars" the Rileys felt trapped inside were well-known and carefully monitored at the top of the American intelligence apparatus. (4)1867 MOSCOW

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. This segment focuses on the high-level political maneuvers that set the stage for the collapse of the Iron Curtain, beginning with a Warsaw Pactmeeting on July 6, 1989. The primary figures are Miklos Nemeth, the young, Harvard-educated Prime Minister of Hungary and a reformer, and Nicolae Ceausescu, the "old guard" dictator of Romania. During the meeting, a furious Ceausescu berates Nemeth for betraying socialism and undermining the Warsaw Pact, even refusing to address him as "comrade." Nemeth, however, finds a silent ally in Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, who gives him a subtle "wink" to signal protection against the hardliners. Nemeth's radical goal was to dismantle the physical Iron Curtain—not just for ideological reasons, but because the technology (mines, electric wires) was decades old, ineffective, and too expensive to maintain. In a secret March 1989 meeting at the Kremlin, Gorbachev gave Nemeth a "green light," telling him that the border was Hungary's problem to manage. This meeting also touched on the sensitive presence of a secret Soviet nuclear arsenal in Hungary, which Gorbachev insisted remain hidden from his own defense ministers. Nemeth left Moscowfeeling that while Gorbachev wouldn't stop him, the Soviet leader's own position was precarious, and a hardline coup remained a constant threat. (1)1800

Rebecca Minkoff is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of the globally recognized Rebecca Minkoff fashion brand, a bestselling author, and the co-founder of the Female Founder Collective. What began with handcrafted jewelry and a one-way ticket to New York turned into one of the most recognizable accessible luxury brands in fashion. In this episode, Rebecca shares the unfiltered story behind building her business—from living on credit cards and surviving setbacks to scaling a global company and helping thousands of women entrepreneurs succeed. On this episode we talk about: Rebecca's entrepreneurial upbringing and the lessons that shaped her work ethic Moving to New York at 18 without a college degree or a long-term plan How a missed movie prop delivery accidentally launched her handbag empire Why profitability matters more than growth at all costs Building the Female Founder Collective to empower women entrepreneurs through education and community Top 3 Takeaways Work ethic creates opportunities. Showing up consistently, working hard, and exceeding expectations opens doors that talent alone can't. Preparation beats luck. What appears to be overnight success is often years of persistence, relationship-building, and being ready when opportunities arise. Build a business that can survive uncertainty. Sustainable margins and profitability create resilience when markets, investors, or economic conditions change. Notable Quotes "If all else fails, I know I can start over." "The sentiment can change on a dime. Figure out a margin that provides profitability because you never know what can happen." "Your first job is not your dream job. This is the time to learn, hustle, and make mistakes on someone else's dime."

What would you do if your family's primary source of income disappeared overnight? In this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric tackle that exact scenario, offering practical advice for anyone who needs to generate income quickly. From launching service-based businesses to building sales skills and leveraging technology that younger generations often take for granted, Travis shares actionable strategies for creating cash flow fast without needing significant startup capital. On this episode we talk about: The fastest ways to start making money when you're starting from scratch Why service-based businesses have the lowest barrier to entry and highest upside How young entrepreneurs can monetize skills they already have, like social media and website management The long-term value of learning sales and choosing the right sales career Why real estate remains one of the best industries for building both income and long-term wealth Top 3 Takeaways Start with the skills you already have. Even abilities that feel ordinary—like managing social media, building websites, or creating content—can be highly valuable to business owners. Service businesses generate cash quickly. Businesses with low startup costs and recurring revenue models allow entrepreneurs to create income faster than inventory-heavy ventures. Sales is a lifelong skill. Learning how to sell not only increases your earning potential but also prepares you to grow your own business in the future. Notable Quotes "The better you are at the service, the more money you can charge for that thing." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank." "Write down the skills you have, the things you're interested in, and the things that light you up—then build a business around those things."

Consistency beats intensity is one of the most powerful themes that emerged after interviewing over a thousand high performers—comedians, bestselling authors, athletes, entrepreneurs, and billionaires—across Travis's podcasts. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down why daily, undramatic action creates durable success, drawing on stories from guests like Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Callen, Dan Fleyshman, Dan Martell, and Jason Witten, plus research on habit formation and mastery. He explains how to pair consistency with feedback-rich improvement so you don't end up with “one year of experience, twenty years in a row.” On this episode we talk about: Why “consistency beats intensity” across careers and industries. Jerry Seinfeld's calendar streak method for writing at least one joke a day. Brian Callen's belief that showing up daily is more important than hustling hard in short bursts. Dan Fleyshman's decades-long habit of daily outreach to compound his network. Dan Martell's caveat: consistency plus feedback and improvement versus stagnant repetition. Research on how habits actually form over 18–254 days, not the popular “21 days.” John D. Rockefeller's “one drop of solder” story and the power of tiny, repeated optimizations. Travis's own journey of sticking with podcasting through doubt and slow seasons. A 30–66 day challenge to build trust in yourself by keeping one simple daily promise. Top 3 Takeaways Daily showing up beats sporadic grinding. Long-term winners reject hustle-culture sprints followed by burnout and instead rely on small, consistent actions repeated over years. Consistency must be paired with improvement. Without a feedback-rich environment and clear targets, you risk “one year of experience, twenty years in a row” instead of true mastery. Tiny actions compound into massive results. Whether it's one joke a day, three to five daily outreach messages, or one drop of solder on millions of cans, small efforts plus time create disproportionate outcomes. Notable Quotes “Consistency beats random spouts of intensity.” “Consistency is more important than hard work. Showing up every day is really the secret.” – Brian Callen “The most common thing in the world today is somebody that's consistent and has no results. One year of experience, 20 years in a row.” – Dan Martell “You can't cheat the muse.” – Jason Witten Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travis-chappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last. - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Instead of interviewing a guest, Travis is joined in the studio by producer Eric for a conversation about what entrepreneurs can learn from an unexpected source: the movie industry. Using the success of low-budget horror films, bootstrapped startups, and high-profile business failures as examples, they explore why constraints often produce better products than unlimited funding. From startup fundraising to filmmaking, this episode is packed with practical lessons on building sustainable businesses that prioritize profitability over hype. On this episode we talk about: Why low-budget films often outperform massive Hollywood productions The business lessons entrepreneurs can learn from successful movie franchises Why bootstrapping can be a better path than raising venture capital The hidden costs of giving investors control over your company How companies like Quibi illustrate the dangers of overfunding and overspending Top 3 Takeaways Constraints encourage creativity. Whether you're building a business or making a movie, working within a budget often leads to better decisions and stronger products. Raising money isn't the finish line. Venture capital is a tool—not a measure of success—and founders should validate their business before seeking outside investment whenever possible. Focus on profitability instead of perfection. Launch early, iterate based on customer feedback, and avoid overinvesting in features or polish that don't generate meaningful returns. Notable Quotes "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, then you've launched too late." "The number one rule we have is just don't go over budget. Play within the sandbox, but stay in the sandbox." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Your business, career, and finances can only grow as far as your health allows. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell shares the recurring lessons on physical health that emerged from nearly 2,000 podcast episodes with entrepreneurs, creators, and high performers. Drawing on insights from guests like Michael Smoke and Jordan Harbinger—along with his own personal health journey—Travis explains why sustainable fitness systems, not extreme discipline, are the key to long-term success in every area of life. On this episode we talk about: Why physical health is the foundation for mental clarity, confidence, and productivity The difference between relying on discipline versus building sustainable systems How Travis broke free from years of yo-yo dieting and found a healthier lifestyle The surprising impact of daily movement, sleep, and nutrition on long-term success Practical habits like tracking calories, walking more, and simplifying your fitness routine Top 3 Takeaways Your body is your foundation. Taking care of your physical health improves your energy, decision-making, confidence, and ability to perform in every other area of life. Systems beat willpower. Sustainable habits always outperform short bursts of extreme discipline when it comes to lasting health. Small, consistent actions create massive results. Simple habits like walking 7,000+ steps a day, eating enough protein, sleeping well, and tracking your intake can transform both your health and your productivity. Notable Quotes "When you clean out the gunk in your physical body through diet, exercise, and good sleep, your purpose, your path, and your passions all become more clear." — Michael Smoke "We're holistic beings by nature." — Jordan Harbinger "You don't have a discipline issue. You have a systems issue." — Michael Smoke Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.  - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Trust is one of the most valuable assets any creator or entrepreneur can build. In this  episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric reflect on a conversation with wellness creators Michael Smoke (Higher Up Wellness) and Tony (Train Bloom) about audience trust, brand partnerships, and the long-term value of protecting your reputation. They discuss why saying "no" to the wrong opportunities often creates bigger opportunities down the road and how creators should think about monetization without sacrificing credibility. On this episode we talk about: Why audience trust is more valuable than short-term sponsorship revenue How to choose brand partnerships that genuinely align with your values The importance of building long-term relationships with your audience Why many creators make the mistake of accepting the first sponsorship offer Real-world examples of turning down six-figure deals to protect credibility Top 3 Takeaways Your audience's trust is your greatest business asset—once it's damaged, it's incredibly difficult to rebuild. Not every sponsorship is worth accepting. The best partnerships are the ones you'd confidently recommend to a close friend. Think long term. Passing on quick money today can strengthen your brand and create far greater opportunities in the future. Notable Quotes "Don't treat your audience in a way you wouldn't treat your best friend." "If it compromises your trust, it's not worth it." "It's all about doing the right thing by your audience."

Kit Chellel is an investigative journalist, Bloomberg Businessweek writer, and author of Lucky Devils. After uncovering a hidden world of elite professional gamblers who consistently beat casinos, sportsbooks, and betting markets, Kit spent years researching how these "advantage players" think—and discovered their mindset has applications far beyond gambling. In this episode, he shares the surprising parallels between betting, investing, entrepreneurship, and decision-making under uncertainty. On this episode we talk about: How elite advantage gamblers consistently profit from betting markets Why gambling, investing, and entrepreneurship all rely on finding an edge The surprising history of computer-driven sports betting and advantage play How AI is transforming sports betting and predictive markets Lessons entrepreneurs can learn about risk management, probability, and making better decisions Top 3 Takeaways The world's best gamblers don't rely on luck—they rely on data, probability, discipline, and finding small edges that compound over time. Thinking in probabilities instead of certainties leads to better business, investing, and career decisions. Rather than betting everything on one opportunity, consistently making many well-calculated bets increases your chances of long-term success. Notable Quotes "They're not like normal gamblers. They're much more like sophisticated investors or hedge funds." "Failure is built into their mindset." "The best thing you can do is be bold enough to take lots of good bets."

Money is one of the most misunderstood topics in personal finance, and in this solo episode, Travis Chappell distills insights from nearly 2,000 interviews with world-class entrepreneurs, investors, entertainers, and financial experts. Drawing on lessons from guests like Josh Peck, George Kamel, Brandon Carter, and others, Travis explores the mindset shifts that separate people who use money wisely from those who become controlled by it. This episode is a practical guide to building a healthier relationship with money so it creates freedom instead of stress. On this episode we talk about: Why money should be viewed as a tool rather than a status symbol How your relationship with money impacts your stress, choices, and freedom Why discipline matters more than income when building lasting wealth The dangers of debt, lifestyle inflation, and financial complacency How to calculate your ideal lifestyle and build investments that support it Top 3 Takeaways Money amplifies who you already are. Wealth doesn't change your character—it magnifies your existing habits, values, and priorities. Financial freedom comes from creating margin. Consistently spending less than you earn and avoiding unnecessary debt gives you flexibility and peace of mind. Build assets, not just income. Focus on investing in assets that generate cash flow capable of funding your desired lifestyle instead of constantly trading time for money. Notable Quotes "Money is a great servant, but a terrible master." — Josh Peck "Abundance really means having margin—the gap between your income and your expenses." — George Kamel "If you lack discipline when you get the money, you simply have more opportunities to ruin your life." — Brandon Carter Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.  - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Sports betting has never been more accessible—or more heavily advertised. In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by producer Eric to examine the rapid rise of online sports betting, particularly among younger audiences. They discuss the psychology behind gambling addiction, why sportsbooks are built to profit from the average bettor, and how to approach gambling responsibly if you choose to participate. On this episode we talk about: The explosive growth of online sports betting and its impact on young people Why sportsbooks and casinos are designed to keep players coming back The psychology of chasing losses and developing gambling addictions Whether stricter regulations on gambling advertising would make a difference Practical advice for treating gambling as entertainment instead of an investment Top 3 Takeaways The house almost always has the advantage—professional betting firms with elite data and technology only achieve slim margins, making it unrealistic for casual bettors to consistently win. If you choose to gamble, treat it like paying for entertainment by setting a strict budget and never risking money you can't afford to lose. Young people are especially vulnerable to developing unhealthy gambling habits, making it critical to understand the risks before placing that first bet. Notable Quotes "You should never gamble with serious amounts of money that would cause you financial strife if and when you lose." "The companies will treat you better the more you lose." "Money only solves your money problems—but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Conflict isn't just about communication—understanding and regulating the nervous system is essential for creating lasting peace and stronger relationships.

On this solo episode, Travis turns the mic on himself and pulls lessons from some of his most impactful past guests to talk about the “dark chapter” — the messy, painful, often hidden seasons that actually create credibility and trust with your audience. Instead of highlighting a single guest, he weaves stories from Scott Harrison, Garrett J. White, Dane Cook, Frederick Douglass, and his own experiences to show how honesty about failures, trauma, and setbacks becomes the foundation for real influence in business and life. On this episode we talk about: Why your audience trusts the full, messy story more than the cleaned‑up highlight reel. Scott Harrison's journey from New York City club promoter to founding charity: water and raising over a billion dollars for clean water. Garrett J. White's vulnerability about marriage struggles, business collapse, and the origins of Wake Up Warrior. Dane Cook's reflections on how breakdowns, betrayal, and struggle shape your character more than success ever can. Practical ways to be honest about the “chinks in your armor” in sales, coaching, and content without turning it into a pity party. Research on expressive writing and narrative “redemption stories” that shows how telling your dark chapter can improve mental and physical health. How Travis personally used openness about his own failures to strip those moments of their power and deepen trust with his audience and inner circle. Top 3 Takeaways Your credibility lives in the dark chapter, not just the wins. The guests who built the deepest trust didn't sanitize their worst years — they owned their drugs, affairs, failures, and misaligned careers, and that honesty made their expertise land more powerfully. Being upfront about weaknesses builds more trust than pretending to be perfect. Whether you're selling a product, running a coaching business, or growing an audience, admitting the “chinks in your armor” and even proactively sharing bad news makes people more likely to believe you when you talk about your strengths. Narrating your struggles as a redemption story changes you and your future. Longitudinal studies and expressive‑writing research show that telling “bad‑to‑good,” agency‑driven stories about your life improves mental health trajectories and even immune function over time. Notable Quotes “The cleaned‑up story is significantly less powerful than the full accounting of what happened.” “The best that I could come up with for a tombstone would be, ‘Here lies a selfish man who got a million people drunk.'” – Scott Harrison, on his New York City nightlife career before founding charity: water. “Your character doesn't come from success. Success gives you nothing but accoutrements… The only place that you can become something is in the struggle moments and not in the success.” – Dane Cook. “It builds trust to tell people about a weakness in your armor… and it's even better if you can do it before they bring it up.” “Don't shy away from the struggle. Embrace the struggle, and a lot of times the struggle is where the success actually comes from.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.  - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Creating content can be one of the fastest paths to building a business around something you genuinely enjoy. In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by producer Eric to unpack a recent Gary Vaynerchuk clip about the difference between creating and consuming content. They explore why so many people spend hours consuming media they love instead of building something around it, how hobbies can evolve into profitable businesses, and why consistency over years—not weeks—is what separates successful creators from everyone else. On this episode we talk about: Why creating content is often more valuable than endlessly consuming it How to turn your hobbies and interests into business opportunities The importance of committing to content creation for the long term Why fear of failure keeps people from getting started Practical ways to test content ideas with short-form video before launching a podcast or business Top 3 Takeaways If you already spend hours consuming content around a topic you love, consider creating content about it instead—you may eventually build an audience and business around your passion. Success in content creation comes from consistency over months and years, not expecting results after a few weeks. Don't let fear of failure stop you. Start small, experiment on platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts, and focus first on whether you enjoy creating rather than chasing views. Notable Quotes "If you're not communicating, you don't exist." "The only obstacle, really, is you." "Money only solves your money problems—but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got some money in the bank."

John Kim is a licensed therapist, speaker, bestselling author, and the creator behind The Angry Therapist. Known for his raw, honest approach to relationships and personal growth, John has built a thriving business by turning his own heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery into books, content, coaching, and community. In this episode, he shares how a $20 PayPal payment changed the trajectory of his life, why finding your authentic voice is the foundation of every successful brand, and how embracing solitude can lead to deeper relationships and a more fulfilling life. On this episode we talk about: How a single $20 PayPal payment validated John's work and launched his entrepreneurial journey Why finding your unique voice matters more than building a personal brand The relationship between failure, identity, and personal growth Lessons from John's new book, Love Hard on Purpose, on building healthier relationships The power of consistency and documenting your story over chasing viral success Top 3 Takeaways Your voice is your greatest competitive advantage. Skills can be learned, but your perspective and lived experiences are impossible to replicate. Success comes from consistent reps over time. Thousands of blog posts, books, and podcast episodes created the "overnight success" people see today. Healthy relationships begin with a healthy relationship with yourself. Periods of intentional solitude can help you build the self-awareness needed to love others well. Notable Quotes "If you don't make it about you, God will." "I was writing from the inside out instead of the outside in." "I'm not lucky—I'm consistent."

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis sits down solo to unpack one of the most important success themes from nearly 2,000 episodes: thinking long term and staying in the game when most people tap out early. Rather than featuring a single guest, Travis pulls together stories and lessons from a diverse roster of past guests—comedians, pro athletes, coaches, and entertainers—who all built durable careers by embracing the long road. On this episode we talk about: Why “if you're not in the long game, you're in the wrong game” applies to money, business, and creative careers. Joe Gatto's “18‑year overnight success” story and the Impractical Jokers crew turning down a bigger MTV deal to bet on the long-term TrueTV opportunity. Drew Dunne's brick‑by‑brick approach to comedy and the power of saying no to distractions so you can build a skyscraper instead of popsicle-stick success. What the research on grit actually says—why passion plus perseverance beats raw IQ over long timelines. How Henry Ford's early failures, podcast graveyard stats, and Travis's own nine‑year journey prove most people overestimate one year and underestimate ten. Top 3 Takeaways Durable success takes longer than you think. Nearly every high‑performer Travis references built something meaningful on a timeline far longer than they expected, their peers expected, or social media says is “normal.” Passion fuels grit and smart persistence. Research on grit shows that perseverance only pays off when it is paired with genuine interest; grinding without passion doesn't create the same outcomes, but passion can live inside “boring” businesses via what you optimize and care about. Stay in the game long enough to benefit from compounding. From Ford Motor Company to Impractical Jokers to Travis's own nine‑year podcast journey, the win comes from refusing short‑term relief, learning from failures, and making relationship and career decisions with a ten‑year lens instead of a ten‑episode lens. Notable Quotes “We're an 18‑year overnight success. You have to outlast the nos. You have to just keep going against the nos.” – Joe Gatto “It is the longest possible road you can have in a career. Every opportunity I've gotten, I've gotten it two years after I thought I should have had it. I'm building a skyscraper. You can get a lot higher than me if you're building with popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue, but I'm just going to keep laying bricks.” – Drew Dunne “Most people will overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.” – Travis Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Visit DrinkAG1.com/TMM to get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last.  - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through July 26, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - To learn more about Mode Mobile and its investor community, go to https://invest.modemobile.com/travismakesmoney -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 Learn more about your ad choices.

Inspired by a YouTube creator's breakdown of the algorithm, they discuss why the most successful creators don't constantly reinvent themselves—they consistently solve the same problem for new audiences. Along the way, they explore what this means for podcasters, entrepreneurs, personal brands, and anyone trying to grow an audience online. On this episode we talk about: Why "boring" content often outperforms constantly chasing new ideas How the YouTube algorithm rewards creators who consistently solve the same problem The difference between building a niche audience and building a personality-driven brand Why creators have a responsibility to keep their audience updated as their industry evolves How documenting your journey creates deeper trust than simply teaching from the finish line Top 3 Takeaways Stay focused on the problem—not the format. Your audience comes to you to solve a specific problem, even as the world around that problem evolves. Consistency builds authority. Becoming known for one core topic helps both algorithms and audiences understand exactly when to turn to you. Document your journey. Showing your progress, experiments, and lessons learned often creates a stronger connection than only sharing polished expertise. Notable Quotes "The problem doesn't change. The world around the problem does." "It's no longer about entertaining your subscribers—it's about becoming unmistakably associated with solving one problem." "You have a responsibility to keep your audience up to date on what's working."

Teri Ijeoma is an investor, entrepreneur, educator, and founder of Trade and Travel, an investing education company that has helped tens of thousands of people learn how to build wealth through the stock market. After leaving her career as an assistant principal, Teri turned trading into a full-time profession before building one of the country's most influential investing communities. She's also the author of The Risk Worth Taking, a book about embracing uncertainty, betting on yourself, and creating a life by design rather than by default. In this episode, Teri shares the lessons she learned from transitioning out of education, developing a profitable trading strategy, and why investing in your own skills can deliver the highest return you'll ever receive. On this episode we talk about: Why Teri chose to invest in the stock market instead of buying real estate early in her investing journey The importance of creating a trading plan, managing risk, and developing consistency before leaving your job Why investing in education and developing valuable skills often produces greater long-term returns than buying more assets How Trade and Travel was born unexpectedly while teaching fellow travelers overseas Why financial education can transform lives, careers, and even strengthen ministries and nonprofit organizations Top 3 Takeaways Investing in yourself can produce returns that far exceed any single investment. Developing valuable skills creates opportunities that continue paying dividends throughout your life. Successful investing isn't about guessing the next winning stock—it's about having a repeatable system, clear rules, and disciplined risk management. Building additional income streams gives you more freedom, more options, and greater resilience during career transitions or unexpected financial challenges. Notable Quotes "The skill set was the risk worth taking because it's something I can use for the rest of my life." "I wanted to make my income replace my salary—that was my goal." "If we can help people with their finances, we can help them with their lives."

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on one of the biggest themes he's uncovered after nearly 2,000 podcast interviews: generosity. Drawing from conversations with bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, behavioral scientists, and business leaders, Travis explains why the people who build the strongest networks and create the biggest opportunities are the ones who give first—without keeping score. Through personal stories, research, and lessons from guests like Adam Grant, Jack Carr, John Levy, Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuk, he breaks down why playing the long game is one of the smartest business strategies you can adopt. On this episode we talk about: Why generosity is the foundation of lasting business relationships The difference between givers, takers, and matchers—and why it matters How weak ties and authentic networking create unexpected opportunities Why hosting events and creating connections is one of the fastest ways to grow your network Real-world examples of generosity leading to life-changing business opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Give without keeping score. The strongest relationships are built when you help others without expecting an immediate return. Focus on creating value, not collecting favors. Long-term generosity compounds into opportunities that transactional networking never will. Become the connector. Hosting events, introducing people, and creating communities positions you as someone others naturally want to work with. Notable Quotes "Generosity with no return address is the long game of building relationships." "It's never bad to have a bunch of great people conspiring for your good." "Flow power to power. Give—don't try to get something."

Artificial intelligence is changing the way people manage their money—but should you trust it with your financial future? In this solo episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down a recent Financial Planning Association study that tested seven major AI tools on real-world financial planning scenarios. They discuss where AI shines, where it falls short, and why human judgment is still irreplaceable when making important financial decisions. From investment advice and fiduciary responsibility to gambling trends and prediction markets, this episode explores the intersection of technology, personal responsibility, and smart money management. On this episode we talk about: What a new Financial Planning Association study reveals about AI-generated financial advice Why AI tools often give dramatically different recommendations for the exact same financial situation The importance of working with fiduciary financial advisors instead of relying solely on AI or influencers The risks of AI hallucinations, bias, and the lack of legal accountability for financial advice How prediction markets, sports betting, and online gambling are creating new financial risks for younger investors Top 3 Takeaways AI is an excellent tool for running financial calculations, exploring scenarios, and learning basic concepts—but it shouldn't be trusted to make final financial decisions. Financial advice is highly personal. A fiduciary advisor who understands your goals and circumstances will almost always provide better guidance than generic AI recommendations. Whether you're investing, gambling, or following financial influencers, you're ultimately responsible for your financial decisions. Use every tool wisely and verify advice before acting on it. Notable Quotes "AI is a great thing to play with, ask questions, and do quick math—but you're still responsible for where you decide to put your finances." "It's a great starting point, but not a finishing point." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Gary John Bishop is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the most influential voices in modern personal development. Known for his no-nonsense, brutally honest approach to self-improvement, Gary has helped millions of people break free from limiting beliefs and stop waiting for motivation to change their lives. In this episode, he shares why personal growth isn't about positive thinking—it's about confronting uncomfortable truths, challenging your assumptions, and becoming the person capable of creating the life and business you actually want. On this episode we talk about: Why self-discovery is more valuable than traditional self-help How guilt, self-blame, and excuses keep people stuck The mindset shifts required to dramatically increase your income Why big goals should expand your perspective—not become fantasies Gary's new book Now What? and how to stop consuming personal development without creating real change Top 3 Takeaways Brutal honesty creates freedom. Real transformation begins when you're willing to confront uncomfortable truths about yourself without defending or blaming yourself. Your income is often limited by your thinking. The biggest barriers to making more money aren't tactics—they're the mental ceilings you've unconsciously placed on yourself. Action matters more than motivation. Don't wait until you feel confident, inspired, or healed. Take the next right action and let your emotions catch up later. Notable Quotes "The hard truths worked for me." "Yesterday's transformation is today's ego trip." "It's not about producing more—it's about who you have to become."

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell continues his series highlighting the biggest lessons from hundreds of conversations with world-class entrepreneurs, athletes, authors, and high performers. This time, he explores one of the most consistent themes that emerged from analyzing over 100 guest interviews: your environment shapes your future. Drawing on stories from Scott Harrison, Jack Carr, Dane Cook, and Booker T. Washington, Travis explains why changing your surroundings is often more effective than relying on willpower—and how designing your environment can dramatically accelerate personal and professional growth. On this episode we talk about: Why your environment matters more than motivation or willpower How successful people use environmental changes to transform their lives The science behind habit formation and context-dependent behavior Practical ways to redesign your surroundings for better habits and greater success Lessons from Scott Harrison, Jack Carr, Dane Cook, and Booker T. Washington on reinvention Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is often stronger than your willpower. Instead of relying on discipline alone, design your surroundings to make good habits easier and bad habits harder. Major life changes often begin with changing your "container." Whether it's moving cities, changing friend groups, or altering your daily inputs, a new environment helps create a new identity. Small environmental tweaks create lasting habits. From placing running shoes by your bed to removing unhealthy foods from your home, reducing friction is one of the fastest paths to consistent behavior. Notable Quotes "Environment is destiny." "You ultimately have control over the version of yourself you're going to become because you're the one who controls your environment." "Why make it harder on yourself? Craft an environment that makes becoming the person you want to be easier."

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down eye-opening stats from a five-year study on the daily habits that separate the wealthy from the poor. From credit score savvy to flossing and networking, he shares personal stories—like the time his truck's wheel fell off in Las Vegas—and actionable mindset shifts to level up your financial game. On this episode we talk about:   The massive gap in credit score awareness (72% wealthy vs. 5% poor) and Travis's wild credit drop after maxing a business card   Why the poor play the lottery 77% vs. just 6% of the wealthy—and how it traps you in a scarcity mindset   Goal focus, flossing, fitness, and screen time stats that reveal how self-discipline builds wealth   Networking (79% wealthy spend 5+ hours/month), the 80/20 rule, and rejecting "random luck" as your wealth plan   The ultimate divider: 79% of wealthy take full responsibility for their finances vs. 18% of the poor Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Know your credit score and how utilization/inquiries work—it unlocks better rates and leverage, even if Dave Ramsey disagrees.  2.  Focus on one big goal, cut recreational screen time under 1 hour/day, and network relentlessly—small habits compound into wealth.  3.  Own your financial situation 100%, regardless of fault; responsibility is where wealth creation truly begins. Notable Quotes   "72% of the wealthy know their credit score versus 5% of the poor."   "Your ability to create wealth for yourself will depend on your ability to take full responsibility for your situation."   "The more shots on goal you take, the more likely it is that you're going to hit one in."

In this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric kick things off by recapping Travis's Alaska cruise before diving into a fascinating discussion about the cost of living across America. Using recent data on what it takes to live comfortably in every state, they explore the trade-offs between affordability, lifestyle, location, and quality of life—while sharing plenty of personal stories and friendly banter along the way. On this episode we talk about: Travis's Alaska cruise experience and why cruising is a different kind of vacation The most and least expensive states to live in based on comfortable living income How cost of living varies dramatically depending on location within a state The trade-offs between affordability, access to amenities, and quality of life Whether it's better to live on a lake, by the beach, or in a lower-cost state Top 3 Takeaways A lower cost of living doesn't automatically mean a better lifestyle. Affordability matters, but so do factors like access to airports, activities, climate, and the community you want to be part of. Where you live should align with your priorities. Whether it's maximizing savings, enjoying outdoor activities, or being close to family, the "best" place to live is highly personal. Don't wait to enjoy life. Seeing Travis's 95-year-old grandfather and 88-year-old grandmother traveling with family is a reminder that creating meaningful experiences matters at every stage of life. Notable Quotes "If you've got the money, just go live where you want to live." "What are you gonna do? Just sit there and rot until your time is gone?" "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."

Kira Shishkin is the CEO of informed.now, the #1 news-by-SMS service in America, and a four-time entrepreneur with a background spanning investment banking, venture capital, private equity, and corporate strategy. A Ukrainian-Israeli immigrant and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Kira has built businesses across education, cryptocurrency infrastructure, and fintech before launching informed.now with a mission to help people stay informed without the noise, bias, or endless news cycle. On this episode we talk about: How Kira built his first business by writing an American history textbook while still in high school Lessons from mining Ethereum in its early days and building wealth through emerging technology What it was like incubating a billion-dollar business inside Intuit Why information organization is one of the most valuable business opportunities How informed.now delivers unbiased news through a simple text message—and why its reader-supported model matters Top 3 Takeaways Most business opportunities are information problems. Instead of creating entirely new information, entrepreneurs can create enormous value by organizing existing information in a more useful way. Being early often feels like being late. Kira's experience building Ethereum infrastructure in 2016 taught him that today's AI revolution presents similar opportunities for builders willing to start now. Align your business model with your mission. By relying solely on reader support instead of advertising, informed.now stays accountable to its users rather than outside sponsors or advertisers.

What do relationship-building, intentional wealth, and world-class storytelling have in common? In this special compilation episode, Travis highlights three unforgettable conversations from the first half of 2026 featuring communication expert Jon Levy, Die With Zero author Bill Perkins, and legendary entrepreneur, author, and Canva Chief Evangelist Guy Kawasaki. Together, they share timeless lessons on building meaningful relationships, using money as a tool for fulfillment, and communicating ideas that inspire action. On this episode we talk about: Why dormant relationships often create the biggest career opportunities How to connect with influential people without wasting their time The philosophy behind Die With Zero and using wealth to maximize life experiences Why money should serve your values—not become the goal itself Guy Kawasaki's famous 10-slide pitch deck, podcasting, and lessons from decades in Silicon Valley Top 3 Takeaways The strongest opportunities often come from dormant relationships—reconnecting with people from your past can open more doors than relying solely on your closest network. Building wealth is only half the equation. The ultimate goal is creating a fulfilling life by intentionally spending your time, money, and energy during the seasons of life when they'll have the greatest impact. Great communication is about respecting people's time. Whether you're networking, pitching investors, or asking for advice, preparation and clarity dramatically increase your chances of success. Notable Quotes "Don't offer to buy somebody a cup of coffee if they could afford to buy the coffee shop." "The money is just a tool for the life that you want."
