On this episode, Travis reacts to an old video of his 26-year-old self giving advice to young people in their late teens and early 20s. Eric—Travis' producer—plays the video for him, and together they break down what young Travis got right, what he'd revise today, and why early career decisions matter more than most people realize. On this episode we talk about: Why “getting a job” isn't selling out—and how to earn while you learn The value of working for someone you admire instead of a random employer Why your 20s should be a decade of experimentation, skill stacking, and trying new things The importance of spending money on experiences and learning instead of flashy purchases How communication skills (door-to-door, telemarketing, network marketing) can transform your career Top 3 Takeaways Early career jobs are an opportunity to get paid to learn, especially when you align yourself with people you admire. Your 20s should be used for experimenting broadly so you don't lock yourself into the wrong path too early. Invest in experiences, relationships, and skill development—not things that depreciate and don't move your life forward. Notable Quotes “Earn while you learn—don't underestimate the value of having a job.” “Skill stacking in your 20s helps you out-earn everyone else in your 30s and 40s.” “Travel is one of the most underrated personal development activities out there.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Sean O'Brien is a serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank alum, and founder of Swingzy, a golf training tool designed to help players make smoother, more consistent swings. He's also the former CTO and CMO of Audio, a venture-backed startup co-founded by Kevin Costner and supported by major brands like Camping World and Snapchat. Known for turning down one of the biggest offers in Shark Tank history, Sean has built and sold multiple companies while staying at the forefront of tech, marketing, and product innovation. On this episode we talk about: How Sean turned rejection from Goldman Sachs into his first million-dollar business The wild story behind his eight-figure company that started with a beach chair in storage The mindset shift that turns rejection into motivation How he landed the Entrepreneur Magazine cover by sheer persistence Working with Kevin Costner and other celebrity partnerships The creation and growth of Swingzy and its impact on the golf industry Top 3 Takeaways Rejection can be your greatest motivator—if you use it as fuel instead of failure. Execution always outweighs ideas; what matters is taking consistent, bold action. Reinvention is the key to long-term success—keep evolving with each new opportunity. Notable Quotes “If you get rejected, your job is to make the people who passed on you look stupid. That's the fuel.” “Ideas are worthless until you execute. Everyone's got a million-dollar idea, but almost no one acts.” “Every setback I've ever had eventually turned into my biggest opportunity.” Connect with Sean O'Brien: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanobrien/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanobrienofficial Company: https://www.swingzy.com Learn more about your ad choices.

André Arko, CEO of Spinel Cooperative and longtime Bundler maintainer, joins Corey Quinn to introduce RV, a new Ruby tool that installs Ruby in one second instead of 10-40 minutes by using precompiled binaries. Inspired by Python's UV, RV aims to simplify Ruby dependency management without the complexity of older tools like RVM and rbenv. They talk about why Ruby isn't actually dead, Apple's problem with shipping a five-year-old end-of-life Ruby in macOS, and the challenges of writing dependency managers in the language they manage. André also shares how he transitioned from a struggling nonprofit model to a cooperative that charges companies for expertise, proving that open source maintainers can build sustainable businesses without relying on donations.Show Highlights:(03:50) Introducing RV(05:12) The RVM vs rbenv Wars and Why They All Break Bundler(09:00) Why Your Mac Still Shows Ruby 3.0.0 in Your Prompt(11:00) The Chef vs Puppet Philosophy Divide(16:30) Installing Ruby in One Second vs 40 Minutes(18:13) Apple's Ancient System Ruby Problem(22:20) RV's Incremental Approach (24:23) Is Ruby Dead? (28:44) Why RV Is Written in Rust, Not Ruby(31:10) The Bundler Problem(32:15) The Financial Reality(38:00) Spinel's Plans to Make Money(39:23) How to Stay In Contact with AndréLinks:André Arko: https://arko.netBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/indirect.ioSpinel Cooperative: https://spinel.coopSponsor: Duckbill: https://www.duckbillhq.com/

In this episode, Travis Chappell sits down with his producer Eric for a candid conversation on money mindset, investing, and why “playing it safe” can sometimes be the riskiest move of all. Together, they unpack what it really means to make your money work for you—and why saving alone won't build long-term wealth. On this episode we talk about: The truth behind Grant Cardone's “cash is trash” mentality When saving money becomes a liability instead of a strength How to balance liquidity with long-term investing Using debt as a tool for leverage rather than a burden Why calculated risk is essential to escaping financial stagnation Top 3 Takeaways Cash has a purpose—but it's not growth. Savings should be a safety net, not a strategy. Good debt accelerates progress. When used intentionally, debt can be the difference between staying stuck and scaling up. Smart risk-taking builds wealth. The biggest financial wins come from understanding and embracing measured risk, not avoiding it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The government shutdown is over—but what does that mean for your money? In this powerful episode of The Dr Boyce Breakdown, Dr. Boyce Watkins breaks down the economic ripple effects of the shutdown and reveals smart, strategic moves Black investors can make right now. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned wealth builder, you'll learn:

In a world of wild contradictions multiple truths I hold as a feminist business owner who hates, but wants to thrive in spite of late-stage capitalism include:* It is insane that we have to work to make money to live in a culture that doesn't even afford many people basic needs AND there is no one more deserving of being paid for their labor than feminist care workers.* I have resented having to work in my business during personal tragedy, but have had no choice because of capitalism AND I am deeply grateful/privileged to make a high salary doing meaningful work with people I respect and admire.* It feels bizarre to have to advertise on platforms that support authoritarianism and the destruction of the environment AND I know so many of my friends, collaborators, peers and mentors exclusively thanks to social media…* People are facing extreme economic hardship due to unfair and unsustainable rising costs AND I am unapologetically having my second highest year in business, with my eye on funding my mother's retirement even in a broken economic system.* The online services industry has changed dramatically as people require more trust building to invest than ever before AND I think this is a good thing—even though it makes selling harder—because we should have to earn people's trust in an industry that has abused it.In our first mini-business episode, I share about these contradictions and how to make money anyway. Both because we need to AND because we get to do the work we love as we do it. It is a mind fuck and having conflicting feelings about that makes sense.A regulated nervous system is your most important tool for making decisions in this moment from the headspace of a CEO—which is what you are at work, not your inner child, anxious self saboteur, or procrastinating perfectionist.

Rebecca Matchett is a serial entrepreneur, fashion innovator, and now tech founder who's built her career around solving real-world problems. From co-founding Alice + Olivia to developing a patented women's sizing system called TrioFit, Rebecca has consistently combined creativity and practicality to build impactful businesses. Now, she's channeling that same drive into Synchrony—a new social app designed to help neurodivergent adults connect and combat loneliness in meaningful ways. On this episode we talk about: How Rebecca transitioned from fashion and retail into tech entrepreneurship The story behind founding Alice + Olivia and what she learned about branding and innovation Why ideas alone aren't enough—and how to validate your market before launching The challenges and benefits of self-funding vs. outside investment How Synchrony is using technology to address the loneliness epidemic among neurodivergent adults Top 3 Takeaways Great businesses start by solving problems you truly understand—personal experience is a powerful indicator of market need. Validation matters more than inspiration. Don't build before you know who actually wants your product. Bootstrapping gives you control, focus, and creative freedom that investors often limit. Notable Quotes “Ideas are easy. Execution and validation are what separate entrepreneurs from dreamers.” “When you solve a problem for yourself, you're often solving it for thousands of others.” “Connection is the most human need we have—and we're building a tool to make that accessible again.” Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode features a candid conversation between Travis and his producer Eric, diving into the ways that religious backgrounds shape money mindsets and personal finance decisions. Travis reflects on his own experiences growing up in a large, well-resourced church and how both healthy principles and harmful attitudes have impacted his financial outlook over time. Through personal stories and playful banter, Eric and Travis explore the tension between gratitude, ambition, and the reality of pursuing financial stability. On this episode we talk about: Money lessons learned in church environments How religious upbringing impacts beliefs about wealth Church paradoxes regarding money and religious leaders Harmful vs. helpful financial mindsets from faith backgrounds Advice Travis would give his younger self about money Top 3 Takeaways Your spending reveals what truly matters to you—track where your money goes to understand your priorities and values. Religious environments often transmit complex and conflicting attitudes about money, sometimes discouraging the active pursuit of wealth while still praising and seeking it when helpful to institutional needs. The pursuit of money itself is not inherently wrong; examine your beliefs and recognize that financial empowerment offers options and flexibility that can benefit both you and your family. Notable Quotes "Where your money is, that's where your heart is. You can examine your expenses to quickly see your true priorities." "Churches talk about money as if it's evil, but they also highly value it when it serves their purposes—that dissonance can mess with your mindset." "Money is an amplifier of who you are. It by itself is not intrinsically good nor bad. Choose to see it as a tool for good and an option creator." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Marketing can feel a bit icky sometimes, can't it? The good news is, it doesn't have to. You can put yourself out there, sell your offers, and grow your biz in a way that feels genuine, not grubby.In this episode, I'm talking about ethical marketing with smart strategy, the stuff that helps you attract the right people, the ones who actually want what you're offering. We'll dig into how to create offers that add real value (none of that 50% off madness, I've done it, won't do it again!) and how to make sure your marketing feels aligned with who you are.This one's for you if you're ready to tidy up your marketing, stay true to your values, and actually make your promotions work for you.

Welcome to a grab bag episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast, where Travis and producer Eric riff on the reality behind success—highlighting why business is the great equalizer for anyone willing to put in the work. Rather than featuring a singular guest, this episode is a candid discussion between Travis and Eric, full of humor, pop culture, and philosophical digs about work ethic, optionality, the nature of talent, and actionable (if often ignored) business wisdom. They use standup comedy and pop references as a lens on entitlement, the “special snowflake” myth, and the sometimes mind-numbing monotony behind real progress. On this episode we talk about: Why most people settle for being a cog and what it actually takes to “opt out” Daniel Tosh's take on employment, entitlement, and the myth of guaranteed fame The difference between success in business versus creative arts: luck, timing, and talent Why simple, repetitive business actions (doing the boring work) are the true formula for income The reason people mock Gary Vee's advice, but why doing the basics still actually works Top 3 Takeaways Most people are held back not by talent or opportunity, but by their own acceptance of mediocrity and avoidance of repetitive, boring work that creates options and freedom. Business is fundamentally a learnable, math-like skill: boring, repeatable actions generate income better than “waiting for your shot.” Freedom requires you to learn how to make money outside of a paycheck—otherwise, you'll always be forced to trade your time for someone else's goals. Notable Quotes "The barrier to entry isn't talent; it's being willing to do the boring, repetitive work that most people constantly avoid." "For creative fields like acting or music, sometimes world-class talent never gets a shot—business isn't a zero-sum game that way." "You have to put yourself in a position to have options. Staying broke is another way of saying you decided to let someone else define your ceiling." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Travis is joined by producer Eric for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical episode exploring how beliefs, meaning, and personal philosophy influence the way money, work, and life are experienced. Both hosts share their takes on existential questions (with spontaneous detours into Star Trek, simulation theory, and work ethic), showing how practical mindset shifts are inseparable from financial success. On this episode we talk about: Various mental models that shape work, motivation, and the experience of meaning How philosophy—like Nietzsche's ‘eternal recurrence'—reframes choices and ambitions The importance of recognizing meaning as self-generated, not assigned by circumstance or others Why evaluating beliefs by their practical usefulness is a key discipline in modern business How accepting truth wherever you find it drives personal growth, resilience, and sharper decisions Top 3 Takeaways Philosophy matters: Questioning and reframing beliefs about meaning and agency lead directly to greater productivity and financial outcomes. Meaning is self-generated—thinking carefully about what keeps you going can reveal your true priorities and help you make better life and money choices. Adopt beliefs and mindsets that are useful for your growth—even if you can't prove them, lean into what propels you forward and out of ruts. Notable Quotes “Meaning is entirely self-generated. You decide, and it might change over time. So choose wisely.” “If a belief system isn't useful—if it doesn't propel you into meaningful action—why keep it?” “Accept truth wherever you find it, regardless of who says it. That's how growth happens.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Investing in any market can feel daunting — but it doesn't have to. In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido sits down with Jim Cramer, investor, author, and host of Mad Money, to explore what it really takes to build wealth and confidence over time.Cramer's latest book, How to Make Money in Any Market, continues his mission of empowering everyday investors to take control of their financial futures. From lessons learned running a hedge fund to insights from decades in media, Cramer's message is clear: you don't need to be a professional to succeed - you just need discipline, curiosity, and patience. From the birth of the “FAANG” concept to the story behind naming his dog Nvidia, Cramer shares personal stories that illuminate his broader philosophy — that investing is about persistence, not prediction. He and Oscar also discuss long-term trends in capital markets, the role of index investing, and why hope and participation remain central to a healthy investing mindset.This episode covers:· Why Cramer believes this is the right moment for a new playbook on investing.· The power of compounding and why saving regularly still works in today's capital markets.· How technology — from online research to tools like ChatGPT — has transformed access to information.· Why he encourages investors to “do the homework” or choose a diversified index approach if they can't.· His pyramid-style investing framework: build positions slowly, remove emotion, and let time work for you.· What he's learned from mistakes, like overconfidence or losing faith too soon.· How curiosity, observation, and understanding the “craft” can help investors find opportunities all around them.Key timestamps in this episode:00:00 Introduction to Investing with Jim Cramer00:50 Jim Cramer's Journey and New Book02:37 The Importance of Saving and Investing04:12 How to Analyze Stocks and Develop Market Strategies06:10 Jim's Investment Ethos and Practical Advice19:16 Personal Insights and Lightning Round21:57 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewMad Money, Investing in any market, Stock market trends, Capital markets, Long-term investing, Financial education, Retail investors, Compounding, AI investingThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

On this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down why building a career or business in 2025 means leveraging the power of content and relationships on social media. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse voices like Gary Vee, they explore the real tactics, mindset shifts, and simple habits that separate those who get results from those who just “post and ghost.” On this episode we talk about: Why creating content is no longer optional for business owners and sales pros The biggest mistakes new (and seasoned) agents make on social—and how to fix them Why “posting” alone isn't enough (and why engaging with others matters more) How to start from scratch: practical tips for getting over perfectionism and fear The right approach to building habits, including using accountability tricks and “just doing the thing” Top 3 Takeaways Social media attention is a massive business opportunity, but most people overthink and underact—just post, learn, and iterate in public. Engagement—commenting, DMs, reacting, and showing up in conversations—is what unlocks genuine relationships and leads. Stop screaming at the crowd; start talking to them. Consistency and volume win. Your first attempts might suck, but nobody wins without building the habit of simply creating and sharing. Notable Quotes “The number one thing that will change every person in this room's life financially is making content for social media.” “Doing nothing is not the solution. Doing something is the solution. And doing something in volume is even better.” “Social isn't a bullhorn—it's a cocktail party. If you're not actively engaging, you're just the weird guy yelling at everyone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode flips the mic to dissect iconic movie sales scenes—especially the legendary real estate monologue from "Glengarry Glen Ross"—with Travis and producer Eric swapping stories from the trenches of commission sales. They break down the psychology of high-pressure closing, how silence can be an indispensable tool, and why consultative selling beats boiler room tactics for long-term success. What real sales moments get right—and wrong—in famous movies The thrill and dread of securing deals in 100% commission environments Why holding the silence is harder (and more effective) than most people realize The difference between authoritative vs. assumptive closes—and why discovery sets you up for the sale The emotional rollercoaster of sales jobs, from adrenaline rushes to crushing self-doubt Use silence as leverage; resist the urge to talk past your own close—let the prospect sit with the decision. Great sales begins with genuine discovery and honest self-selection—you want lifetime clients, not regret-fueled chargebacks. The close should be the natural conclusion to a quality conversation—practice assumptive and options-based closing for better results. "Most people just can't stand the awkward silence, but in sales, that's your friend—it gets the prospect thinking, and helps you avoid talking yourself out of a deal." "Don't overcome objections that haven't been spoken—otherwise, you talk yourself out of the sale." "Consultative selling doesn't force the close; it builds trust, clarity, and repeat business in the long run." ✖️✖️✖️✖️
