They unpack the costs, strategies, and mindset shifts required to build a successful content engine, using real-world examples from comedians and entrepreneurs to illustrate the importance of budgeting for organic growth. On this episode we talk about: The hidden costs behind successful comedians and podcasters who appear to “do it all themselves” The importance of investing in content creation, editing, and social media management for long-term business growth How paid advertising and organic content work together to build a brand and drive results The value of outsourcing tasks to free up time for high-impact activities Real numbers from top creators, including how much they spend monthly on organic content The trade-offs between doing everything yourself and hiring experts to scale your business Top 3 Takeaways 1.

Outsourcing non-core tasks allows entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best, maximizing both time and revenue.3. Building a brand through organic content pays exponential returns over time, far outpacing paid advertising alone. Notable Quotes "It's not just because he says good stuff. It's because he spends multi six figures a month on content creation." "You have to do it. It's not a negotiable for anybody now."

Amanda shares the truth most financial professionals won't say out loud: You can't build calm from criticism. Shame doesn't make you responsible. Shame makes you reactive.

It tells your brain, 'You're not safe until you fix this.' And that keeps you in constant motion - hustling, optimizing, proving. But here's what's wild: most entrepreneurs don't realize that pattern isn't logical; it's biological." What's possible when you reset?

Have you ever wondered, "Can I go away and make money on my property?" Well, you definitely can, and you're going to want to listen to this episode as we talk about how you can make money while you're away during the FIFA World Cup 2026. Our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Christa Rutherford of Sea to Sky Vacation Rental to explore this timely opportunity for homeowners in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the immediate surrounding areas.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why FIFA 2026 is creating a massive 70,000-bed shortage in Vancouver and what this means for homeownersThe surprising price difference between hotels (charging $1,000-$3,000 per night) and what homeowners can earn from their propertiesReal success stories: from funding a cross-Canada retirement road trip to putting kids through universityChrista's tried-and-true three-point plan for keeping neighbours happy and protecting your propertyThe biggest myths homeowners believe about short-term rentals and why professional hosting makes all the differenceHow Christa's done-for-you service handles everything from licensing and insurance to photography, vetting guests, and emergency maintenanceThe concierge-level extras that make properties stand out and keep guests coming back year after yearWhy waiting to list your property could cost you top dollar and why this opportunity extends far beyond FIFA weeksIf you're in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or the immediate surrounding areas, visit Sea to Sky Vacation Rental to fill out the contact form and book your complimentary consultation with Christa. Don't miss this chance to capitalize on the world's largest sporting event coming to your backyard!Christa's Bio: Sea to Sky Vacation Rental was created by Christa Rutherford, a North Vancouver local with a passion for helping homeowners make the most of their properties without the stress of managing guests, maintenance, or marketing.Christa was working a typical 9–5 job, trying to balance the rising cost of living with raising her two young children. With her pay grade capped and expenses climbing, she needed a way to increase her income while still being present for her family. A friend suggested she try short-term renting the suite in her home. At first, Christa hesitated—she worried about privacy, the kinds of guests who might stay, and whether issues would arise. But after taking the leap, everything changed. The suite quickly became a huge success, consistently booking out and reaching a remarkable 95% occupancy rate. What started as a small idea turned into a life-changing opportunity—one that gave Christa both financial freedom and more time with her children.Seeing how this opportunity transformed her own life, Christa began to wonder how many other people would love to do this but don't have the time? I knew first hand what it felt like to be stretched then - wanting more time with family, wanting the financial ability to take a vacation, plan special events, tackle renovations and check off those ‘one day' wish list items, but not knowing how to get there.What started as a personal solution quickly grew into a passion: helping homeowners unlock extra income and finding solutions without adding more to their already busy schedules.After seeing friends struggle with unreliable property management and inconsistent results, Christa saw an opportunity to create something better — a boutique, relationship-based hosting service designed specifically for homeowners in North Vancouver and West Vancouver who want to rent their homes while they're away.Christa's Social Media links: Instagram: @seatoskyvacationrentalFacebook: Sea to Sky Vacation RentalWebsite:

In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by his producer Eric.

On this episode we talk about: Why absurd “success hacks” go viral, including the astrology clip about Michael Jordan The difference between motivation, marketing, and manipulation in the online guru world Whether Grant Cardone is right—or way off—when he says $400K isn't enough How polarizing personalities weaponize attention for growth What “thinking bigger” actually means (and what it doesn't) Top 3 Takeaways Viral guru content often succeeds because it's theatrical, not because it's true. Income numbers are meaningless without personal context—freedom math > flex math. You can embrace big thinking without adopting the extremes or gimmicks of online gurus. ✖️ ✖️ ✖️ ✖️

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down the modern “buy back your time” culture—everything from viral clips glamorizing $400/month haircuts to outsourcing every basic task. Eric brings his media and production perspective, while Travis adds years of entrepreneurial insight, creating a practical, funny, and eye-opening look at what actually matters when it comes to time, money, and priorities. On this episode we talk about: The rise of “alpha bro” outsourcing content and why so much of it is performative When paying to save time is genuinely smart—and when it's just a flex The psychology behind choosing what to do yourself vs. hiring it out Why cooking at home, reading books, and doing the obvious can be a real competitive advantage How Travis evaluates whether a time-saving purchase is actually worth it Top 3 Takeaways Not every “time-saving hack” is a hack—some are expensive distractions disguised as productivity. Buying back your time only works when you reinvest that time into something meaningful or profitable. Common sense executed consistently beats flashy shortcuts every single time. Notable Quotes “Your time is your only non-renewable asset—so spend money intentionally, not impulsively.” “Some of these viral hacks aren't hacks… they're just flexes with a motivational caption.” “Doing the obvious becomes a superpower when everyone else is looking for shortcuts.” ✖️ ✖️ ✖️ ✖️
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.

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

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.

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

On this episode we talk about: Emma's first entrepreneurial hustle at age eight and early lessons in leverage The hidden pitfalls founders face with unchecked expenses and chaotic systems Why most business owners fail to understand their true numbers—and how to fix it The critical role of SOPs: why written processes and automation trump hiring How AI and automation are disrupting labor-intensive businesses, from landscaping to admin work Emma's journey through the IDF, ER trauma nursing, and operations leadership—plus the real secret behind her career pivot Highest-leverage automation opportunities business owners miss The key mindsets and habits of growth-focused founders Top 3 Takeaways Unchecked expenses silently destroy profit—regular, ruthless review of every expense can unlock 3-4% profit instantly. Most business owners don't know actual unit-level profitability; tracking this granular data enables better decisions, higher margins, and less work. Strong businesses scale with written SOPs and automation, not by hiring; processes should come before people. Notable Quotes “Sales is king.” “Every dollar needs to have a name, and every person should know the numbers that matter.” “You can't automate chaos—get your processes right, then use AI and automation to scale.” Connect with Emma Rainville: https://www.instagram.com/emma_rainville512/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.
