Podcasts about Make Money

In this episode, Travis and Eric dive into a rapid-fire round of thought-provoking quotes — from business legends like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Alex Hormozi, Thomas Sowell, and Grant Cardone. Each quote sparks a deeper conversation about work ethic, competition, mastery, and what it really means to “make money.” Expect sharp insights, playful banter, and surprisingly practical takeaways that'll change how you think about success, side hustles, and even home ownership. On this episode we talk about: Why “40 hours a week” isn't enough to change your life The balance between competition and collaboration Why most “solutions” are really trade-offs in disguise How to master new skills in 20 focused hours Why success often comes down to sheer reps and resilience Whether your house is actually an asset How luck, effort, and timing fuel long-term success Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Mastery comes from volume — do enough reps that failure becomes unreasonable.2.  Buying a house can be smart, but it's not always the golden ticket to wealth.3.  There's no one formula for success — just honest trade-offs and relentless effort. Notable Quotes *   “Nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week.” – Elon Musk*   “You can get good enough at almost anything in 20 hours; most people just never start.” – Josh Kaufman*   “Do enough reps that it's unreasonable for you to fail.” – Alex Hormozi*   “Houses are assets for asses.” – Grant Cardone (and why Travis disagrees) Connect with Travis Chappell: *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell*   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*   Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is powered by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into the modern debate over side hustles — are they still the key to building wealth, or has the hustle culture gone too far? Travis shares how he's shifted from saying yes to everything to learning how powerful “no” can be, especially when focusing on what truly moves the needle. The conversation touches on money, fulfillment, and finding purpose both in and outside of work — with plenty of laughs along the way. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis stopped saying yes to every opportunity The truth about side hustles in 2026 — overhyped or necessary? How to build wealth and fulfillment without burnout When to trade free time for extra income (and when not to) The real difference between financial need and purposeful work Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Side hustles matter when they create freedom — not just when they create dollars.2.  Urgency drives progress. The future version of you is counting on what you do today.3.  Fulfillment beats hours worked; purpose counts more than overtime. Notable Quotes *   “What will I need to have done today to avoid the pain I'll feel five years from now?” – Travis Chappell*   “Doing something — even the wrong thing — beats doing nothing every time.” – Travis Chappell*   “You don't need to work 95 hours a week to be fulfilled. You just need to do work that matters.” – Travis Chappell Connect with Travis Chappell: *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell*   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*   Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is powered 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.

In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric tackle an uncomfortable truth — most people don't have a money problem, they have an honesty problem. Drawing surprising parallels between tracking calories and tracking finances, Travis explains why awareness and discipline are the real keys to building wealth (and staying in shape). This one brings plenty of laughter, practical insight, and even a few food confessions along the way. On this episode we talk about: Why most “money problems” start with self-deception The dieting analogy that reveals your real financial habits How small, “invisible” expenses quietly sabotage your goals What lifestyle creep is — and how to stop it for good Why tracking every dollar is the first step to freedom Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Honesty beats income — you can't manage what you don't measure.2.  The “BLTs” (bites, licks, and tastes) in your diet are just like the untracked charges on your credit card.3.  More money doesn't fix bad habits; awareness and discipline do. Notable Quotes *   “You can't make progress until you're brutally honest about what's actually going in your mouth — or your bank account.” – Travis Chappell*   “It's not usually that you need more money, it's that you don't know where your current money is going.” – Travis Chappell*   “Before you build wealth, build awareness.” – Travis Chappell Connect with Travis Chappell: *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell*   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*   Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is powered 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.

In this episode, Travis talks with co-host Eric about how creators and entrepreneurs can confidently set and raise their prices — without losing clients or underselling themselves. Travis draws on lessons from three of the internet's most well-known business voices — Alex Hormozi, Chris Do, and Gary Vaynerchuk — breaking down what their pricing advice really means and how to apply it today. On this episode we talk about: How strong branding allows you to charge premium prices The pros and cons of building a clothing brand in 2026 Why hourly pricing punishes expertise How to handle client objections with confidence Proven strategies for raising your rates without losing loyal customers Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Strong branding creates pricing power — build trust and authority before you sell.2.  Your price reflects your skill, not your time. Don't undervalue experience that took years to build.3.  When raising prices, communicate early and confidently. Clients who value results will stay. Notable Quotes *   “Charging by the hour punishes me for being good.” – Chris Do*   “You can charge whatever you want when you can overdeliver on the result.” – Travis Chappell*   “Your clients don't care about saving a few hundred bucks; they care about solving a big problem.” – Travis Chappell Connect with Travis Chappell: *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell*   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*   Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is powered by High Level – the all-in-one sales and 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.

Burnout doesn't always look like total exhaustion or wanting to quit—it can show up quietly, in the way you start dreading sessions or feeling wiped after every call.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about the kind of burnout coaches rarely admit out loud—the kind that creeps in when you're doing "all the right things" but still feel mentally and emotionally drained.    If you've been feeling drained after sessions, questioning whether coaching is really for you, or wondering why something you love is starting to feel heavy, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/the-confident-coach-certification Listen to Episode 451.

During today's episode, Sharon shared the remarkable journey of her company, including how it raised $3.8 million in funding and acquired a groundbreaking stroke rehabilitation startup, Imago Rehab.Sharon explained that their success stems from a commitment to creating solutions that improve lives. “It's about really making connections and growing community with like-minded people who understand mission-driven businesses that work for good as well as doing good,” she said. This philosophy helped Health Care Originals achieve groundbreaking milestones, including closing a $1.1 million Reg CF round and securing significant venture capital investments.The acquisition of Imago Rehab exemplifies Sharon's vision. The startup, which develops robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation using Harvard-developed technology, aligns perfectly with Health Care Originals' mission to deliver tech-enabled healthcare solutions. “We saw in Imago Rehab the kinds of therapies my grandma needed after her stroke. It resonated deeply with me,” Sharon said. The deal, she explained, was also about ensuring the technology reached those who need it most, a value shared by the company's lead investors.Sharon also highlighted how their impact extends to respiratory health. Shortly after winning the SuperCrowdLA awards, Health Care Originals became the exclusive respiratory care provider for a health coalition representing 400,000 lives. The company's ability to integrate proprietary hardware, AI, and specialized therapy continues to drive growth and innovation.For those inspired by mission-driven entrepreneurship, Sharon's story provides a roadmap. By combining purpose and perseverance, Health Care Originals isn't just a company—it's a movement. If you're interested in supporting their journey, consider exploring their offerings or participating in their crowdfunding efforts.tl;dr:Health Care Originals raised $3.8 million, including $1.1 million through a crowdfunding campaign.The company acquired Imago Rehab, a startup developing robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation.Sharon outlined how mission-driven innovation drives their impact-focused healthcare solutions.Sharon's superpower, resilience, has been key to overcoming challenges and driving the company forward.Health Care Originals integrates AI, hardware, and therapy to deliver transformative healthcare solutions.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerSharon describes her superpower as resilience—her ability to persevere and overcome challenges without giving up. Reflecting on this trait, she shared, “What has become evident to me over the last year is that I don't give up.” Sharon's unyielding determination has been pivotal in navigating the hurdles of leading a startup, from raising capital to acquiring and integrating other businesses. Her ability to stay focused and committed to her mission, even in the face of adversity, defines her approach to entrepreneurship.One powerful example of Sharon's resilience came from her first job as the only female engineer in a 50-year-old, failing factory with outdated equipment. Despite the challenges, she worked tirelessly to restore operations, eventually increasing production by 33%. The validation of her efforts came from the factory's furnace designer, who recognized her unique understanding of the process and her unwavering commitment to improvement.To develop resilience, Sharon suggests finding a clear purpose and staying passionate about what drives you. She explains, “If you find something you're sure you want to do and it makes you happy, it helps you to not give up.” She also emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and resisting the urge to let past experiences cloud your judgment.By following Sharon's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

They also explore branded content pricing, fears of a race to the bottom, and whether new industry standards are needed to protect producers.The episode closes with predictions for the rest of 2026, including the impact of the BBC's new digital initiatives, creator cross-overs into television, and what the next phase of the digital-first production economy could bring.

When it comes to money, status, and stuff, the line between “progress” and “pointless flex” can get blurry fast. In this episode, Travis and Eric break down the psychology behind big purchases, status signaling, and those subtle (and not-so-subtle) money games people play at dinners, events, and in their DMs. From buying a truck that literally lost a wheel to splitting a $400-per-head Vegas dinner he barely ate, Travis shares the real lessons behind spending, signaling, and staying sane around wealthy people. On this episode we talk about: The truck purchase that felt like “making it” but really wasn't Why some “level-up” buys are actually just expensive distractions Chasing status in high school with phones, Beats, and gadgets How rich dinners, bottle service, and bill-splitting mess with your head What Travis would actually hate to sell if he had to clear out his life Top 3 Takeaways The feeling from a flashy purchase is temporary; the money you spent is gone forever. It's better to pursue the ability to buy anything you want than to obsess over specific status items. Generosity at the table (picking up the bill, being fair about splitting) builds real social capital that outlasts any flex. Notable Quotes “That feeling was fleeting, but the money was gone forever.” “I stopped caring about the thing and started caring about my ability to go buy the thing.” “If I have the money, I don't need the company to bless me with a trip to The Bahamas—I can just go to The Bahamas.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell Website: travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into the wild world of door-to-door selling—reacting to some of the most painfully awkward sales videos on the internet. From cringe-worthy “Karen” interactions to clueless pitches, the two unpack what not to do when trying to close a deal. With laughter, role-playing, and a little sales therapy, they uncover why emotional intelligence still beats any script. On this episode we talk about: The worst door-to-door sales tactics caught on camera Why self-awareness matters more than a sales pitch The art of knowing when to walk away from a “no” How not to represent your business online The hilarious (and humbling) lessons from Travis and Eric's own early sales days Top 3 Takeaways Confidence is good—persistence without awareness is just annoying. Filming your bad interactions doesn't make you authentic; it makes you unhireable. Good sales come down to respect, timing, and tone—not endless rebuttals. Notable Quotes “There's a difference between bugging the hell out of people and doing your job right.” “If someone tells you to leave, just move on—there's another door next to it.” “If your whole sales pitch goes viral because it's bad, that's not marketing, that's a red flag.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell YouTube: Travis Makes Money Website: travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric turn up the heat as they break down the real vs. fake side of the business influencer world. From internet gurus to billion-dollar founders, they ask the tough questions most podcasts avoid—like who's pretending, who's giving bad advice from their ivory tower, and who would actually survive starting over from zero. On this episode we talk about: The difference between a real entrepreneur and an online persona Why so much business advice only works if you're already rich The influencers who couldn't rebuild if they lost everything The fine line between helpful inspiration and harmful messaging How flashy “success stories” twist the meaning of ethics and authenticity Top 3 Takeaways Many creators give advice that sounds profound—but only makes sense once you've already made your millions. Real entrepreneurs lead with integrity and consistency. Their offline life should match their online brand. Before acting on anyone's advice, ask yourself: “Does this apply to my current reality?” Context matters more than charisma. Notable Quotes “It's easy to say ‘just be happy' when you've already got millions in the bank.” “Too many people copy characters they built online and forget who they really are.” “I filter everything through two questions: Is it useful, and does it hurt other people?” Connect with Travis Chappell:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell• Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell• Other (Website): https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is brought to you by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this episode, Travis and Eric dive deep into the minds of today's top business influencers and creators — Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex Hormozi, Naval Ravikant, and Sharran Srivatsaa. Eric shares his take on what makes each one powerful, influential, and sometimes… a little overrated. With humor, hot takes, and honest reflection, this episode uncovers the truth behind influencer hype and what actually creates long-term business success. On this episode we talk about: Which business influencers truly earn their hype Why copying creators like Alex Hormozi misses the real point The underrated genius of Sharran Srivatsaa How context matters when following Gary Vee's advice The psychology behind imitation, credibility, and influence Top 3 Takeaways Imitating someone's style—like Alex Hormozi's yellow-text captions—won't make you successful. Imitate their work ethic and strategy instead. Gary Vee's “hustle” mindset only works if you understand the deeper message of self-awareness and finding what you love. True influence doesn't come from virality. It comes from credibility, consistent value, and playing the long game. Notable Quotes “Copying someone's font or video format doesn't build authority—it's the thousand hours of mastery behind it that matter.” “It's dangerous to take any advice out of context, especially if you haven't done the real work behind the scenes.” “When Alex Hormozi came on the scene, it wasn't luck. It was a grenade of credibility, volume, and great content all hitting at once.” Connect with Travis Chappell: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell • Other (Website): https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level — the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

So… I did a thing. I decided to homeschool my son this year. And before you picture me color-coding lesson plans and building a chicken coop, hear me out - this decision came straight from my heart. Every child thrives differently, and over the summer, we realized that our youngest really needed something more individualized… more one-on-one. As a former teacher, I saw the signs - he was starting to slip through the cracks. And when he asked to be homeschooled, I just couldn't say no. But as I started researching curriculums and joining homeschool communities, something really stood out - so many moms want to homeschool but feel like they can't afford to. They want to be home, but they still need to help provide. And that's when it hit me - what I've built with digital products on Etsy is exactly what so many of these families are searching for. A way to teach their kids, be present, and still contribute financially - without sacrificing their sanity. So in today's episode, I'm opening up about our decision to homeschool, how I've built a business that gives me this freedom, and how you can do it too. Because yes - homeschooling and income can absolutely coexist… peacefully and purposefully. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro  Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva  Midjourney Beginner's Guide & 130+ Prompts www.jacqueline-butler.com/midjourney    | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide  FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide  FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup  Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com  Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com  Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacquelinebutler.co  TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRank https://erank.com?fpr=jackie31  Insight Factory https://insightfactory.app/  Alura https://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline

In this conversation, David Richter shares his extensive experience in real estate investing and emphasizes the importance of understanding the money game. He discusses how many investors lack a solid business plan and often focus solely on closing deals without considering overall profitability. Richter advocates for implementing cash flow systems, such as the Profit First approach, to build cash reserves and achieve financial freedom. He also touches on the concept of geographical arbitrage as a potential solution for housing affordability and stresses the need for financial awareness among investors.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and Eric have a fun, insightful conversation about their personal “Mount Rushmore” of business influencers and how those voices have shaped the way they think about work, money, and success. From early inspirations like Gary Vaynerchuk to deep thinkers like Naval Ravikant, plus polarizing giants like Grant Cardone, they unpack what these leaders get right, what people copy wrong, and which ideas are actually worth modeling in your own life. On this episode we talk about: Why Gary V is still a no-brainer top spot on Travis's business influencer Mount Rushmore How Naval Ravikant blends real-world success with philosopher-level clarity The difference between thinkers (like Adam Grant) and doers (like operators and founders) Why people misunderstand Alex Hormozi and Grant Cardone—and what they actually do well How Travis and Eric each define their own Mount Rushmore of business and productivity mentors Top 3 Takeaways The best influences are a mix of operators and thinkers—people who've actually built businesses and can clearly explain how they did it. Copying someone's routines, style, or “persona” rarely works; the real leverage comes from adopting their principles, not their aesthetics. You should build your own Mount Rushmore based on what truly shifts your behavior and mindset, not on who is the most popular or least controversial. Notable Quotes “You're looking in the 20% of their productivity for your 80%, and that's not where the real results come from.” “You can order Chipotle all you want, but it's not going to make you Alex Hormozi.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest when you've got money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Travis sits down with Eric in the studio for a hilarious and insightful deep dive into the world of online sales training. Together, they react to viral clips from well-known sales coach Andy Elliott—an infamous personality whose aggressive methods, animated delivery, and controversial reputation make him one of the most polarizing figures in modern sales culture. On this episode we talk about: The fine line between confidence and cringe in sales training videos Why aggression and fake enthusiasm rarely work in real sales How “high empathy” and curiosity can instantly make you a better communicator The viral rise (and fall) of Andy Elliott and what that says about social media influence Practical, down-to-earth ways to handle objections and keep people talking Top 3 Takeaways The best salespeople don't shout—they listen longer and ask better questions. Controlling your tone and energy is more persuasive than trying to “dominate a room.” Modern buyers recognize authenticity—if it feels scripted, it won't work. Notable Quotes “It's your only job to keep the conversation going. Just keep asking more questions.” – Travis “People buy from real humans, not caricatures of confidence.” – Eric “Before you became who you are online, you were probably a really good salesperson.” – Travis Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is powered by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales and marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Feeling called to coach but still questioning whether you're actually ready to do this?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the three non-negotiables every coach has to master if you want to feel confident in sessions, trust that you can actually help your clients, and build a coaching business that makes real money—not just one that looks good on Instagram.   So many women doubt themselves not because they aren't capable, but because they don't yet have the structure, skills, or reps that create real confidence. Today, I'm giving you a high-level look at the three foundations I see in every successful coach—and why skipping even one of them is what keeps so many people stuck in fear, imposter syndrome, or overthinking every session.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/the-confident-coach-certification   What I Discuss: 05:29 The Three Cs of Coaching Mastery 07:02 Why confidence isn't something you "think" your way into, and how it actually comes from knowing your role as a coach and leading sessions with presence. 09:57 Structure, skill, and why winging it in sessions is the fastest way to lose trust in yourself and your clients 12:56 How practice, repetition, and real feedback create the kind of certainty that makes coaching feel calm instead of terrifying 17:17 How these three Cs are the foundation of the Confident Coach Certification and what it really takes to feel prepared, grounded, and legit as a coach Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com   

On this episode, Travis and his producer Eric break down a powerful Quentin Tarantino clip about being “dream adjacent” and how that concept applies to chasing your own ambitions. Through Tarantino's story of leaving a comfortable-but-stagnant video store job and moving closer to Hollywood, Travis unpacks what it really takes to stop circling your dream and start living it. The conversation hits on environment, networking, brutally honest self-audits, and why changing your surroundings might be the most practical first step toward the life you actually want. On this episode we talk about: What it means to be “dream adjacent” instead of truly living your dream How Tarantino's story shows the danger of staying in “good enough” environments Why your environment quietly shapes your future more than your intentions do The power of brutally honest self-reflection (the “Detest Fest”) How changing rooms, cities, and inputs can fast-track your growth Top 3 Takeaways Being “dream adjacent” feels comfortable, but it can quietly put your ambition to sleep if you stay there too long. Your environment will either reinforce your current identity or pull you toward the person you want to become—changing it is often the fastest lever you can pull. Radical honesty about where you are, paired with decisive action (moving, changing rooms, changing inputs), is what turns vague dreams into real progress. Notable Quotes “It's not my dream what I'm doing, but it's dream adjacent.” – Quentin Tarantino (clip discussed in the episode) “You can have any life you want, but you can't have every life you want.” – Travis “Your outputs are directly influenced by your inputs, so if you can't change your environment yet, change what you're feeding your mind.” – Travis Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/traviscchappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  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.

As a senior partner at Salaiko Capital and CEO of FluidLogic, she blends her passion for service, technology, and leadership to create cultures of excellence and drive innovation. On this episode we talk about: What 15 generations of military service taught Sara about leadership and resilience How she transitioned from the Air Force to high-level tech entrepreneurship Building a problem-solving mindset that thrives in both combat and corporate environments Why following your curiosity can lead to your dream career—one you didn't even know existed The science of hydration and why most people aren't “doing water right” Top 3 Takeaways Your career path doesn't need to be linear—focus on your “why,” give 110%, and opportunities will find you. True leadership starts with service, whether it's for your country, your team, or your customers. Hydration is a simple yet overlooked performance multiplier—mastering it can dramatically improve focus and recovery. Notable Quotes “You can have any life you want, but you can't have every life you want.” “There is no one right path—your job is to bring 110% to whatever you're doing right now.” “If you just do water right, you'll be amazed at how much better your body performs.” Connect with Sara Blackmer: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarablackmer Website: fluidlogic.com Company: solycocapital.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Cybersecurity didn't start as a billion-dollar crime machine. It started as pranks, ego, and curiosity. That origin story explains almost everything that's breaking today. Ron sits down with Graham Cluley, one of the earliest antivirus developers turned trusted cyber voice, to trace how malware evolved from digital graffiti into organized financial warfare. From floppy disks and casino-style viruses to ransomware, extortion, and agentic AI, the conversation shows how early decisions still shape today's most dangerous assumptions. Graham also explains why AI feels inevitable, but still deeply unfinished inside modern organizations. Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 04:16 - Malware before money existed 07:30 - Cheesy biscuits changed cybersecurity 13:10 - When documents became dangerous 14:33 - Crime replaced curiosity 15:23 - Sony proved no one was safe 20:15 - Reporting hacks without causing harm 24:01 - AI replacing penetration testers 29:18 - Agentic AI shifts the threat model 36:30 - Why rushing AI breaks trust Links Connect with our guest on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamcluley/   Check out our upcoming events: https://www.hackervalley.com/livestreams Join our creative mastermind and stand out as a cybersecurity professional: https://www.patreon.com/hackervalleystudio Love Hacker Valley Studio?

With roots in Germany, a PhD in applied economics from Purdue, and a career spanning academia, innovation, and entrepreneurship, she brings a unique blend of research-backed insight and real-world hustle to help people grow without burning out. On this episode we talk about: *  How early money lessons from her grandmother shaped Christiane's hustle and savings habits*  Leaving free university in Germany to study in the U.S. on a Fulbright scholarship*  Why you should never put a hard monetary cap on education and personal growth*  The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset (and why “you're so smart” can be harmful)*  How to speak to your kids (and yourself) in ways that encourage effort, curiosity, and resilience*  The unexpected ways podcasting sharpens your thinking, communication, and professional network Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Small, consistent actions—like saving a few dollars a week—compound into meaningful results over time, whether in money, skills, or opportunities.2.  A growth mindset is built by praising effort, curiosity, and problem-solving, not innate “smartness,” which keeps you from avoiding challenges out of fear of failure.3.  Creating content, such as a podcast, is a powerful way to clarify your thinking, expand your global reach, and organically deepen your professional network. Notable Quotes *  “It doesn't need to be a lot, but if you save it every single week, it really compounds into quite a nice sum of money.”*  “First we fail and then we sail.”*  “You can't put a monetary value on the people you meet in life and the opportunities you have to build your network.” Connect with Dr. Christiane Schroeter: *  Podcast: Happy Healthy Hustle (available on all major podcast platforms)*  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@doctor.christiane*  Books: https://doctorchristiane.com/books/*  Other: https://doctorchristiane.com/  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In this co-hosted episode, Travis and Eric riff on TED vs. TEDx, the evolution of “thought leadership,” and why people love to critique things that have genuinely helped millions. They also dig into how ideas spread today, the difference between real credibility and checkbox credentials, and why simple, boring actions still beat fancy labels when it comes to actually making money. On this episode we talk about: *  Whether TED and TEDx talks still matter for credibility in 2026*  Why not all “bestselling author” or “TEDx speaker” titles are created equal*  How great ideas rise above the noise regardless of the label on them*  Why people love to criticize helpful platforms instead of doing the work themselves*  When a TEDx talk or self-published book is actually worth doing for your brand Top 3 Takeaways 1.  There's a massive difference between a TED talk and a TEDx talk—one is a global, highly curated stage, the other is much more accessible and variable in quality.2.  Labels like “TEDx speaker” or “bestselling author” can help, but only if the underlying work is excellent; the best ideas and books win because they're good, not because of the stamp.3.  Time spent tearing down platforms that help millions is usually better spent creating something great yourself and letting the market decide its value. Notable Quotes *  “If you don't like it, just don't watch it—you don't need a Reddit thesis about why something that helps people is dumb.”*  “It's the difference between an Amazon bestseller and a New York Times bestseller—same label, wildly different signal.”*  “You have to earn the right not to do the things you don't like to do.” Connect with Travis: *  Travis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*  Travis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*  Podcast: Travis Makes Money on all major podcast platforms - leave a review and we'll love you forever!*  Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  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.

A lot of content creators talk about monetization, but very few explain what it actually looks like. In this episode, we chat with Billy Thorpe, who's built a real business around brand deals, shoppable videos, and live selling without relying on a massive audience or viral hits.Billy breaks down why most creators misunderstand brand deals, especially the idea that you need big follower counts to get paid. We dig into what brands really care about: usable content, clear demos, reliability, and why systems matter more than motivation. He also shares how volume, when done with repeatable formats and smart workflows, leads to income that compounds instead of burning you out.We also get into live selling, AI, platform risk, and why “maybe money” from algorithms should never be your only plan. This conversation is a reality check for creators who want to stop guessing and start building something boring, stable, and sustainable… on their own terms.Key TakeawaysBrand deals don't require big audiences: Brands pay for clear demos, reliable delivery, and usable content, not follower counts.Volume works when systems exist: Burnout comes from chaos, not from publishing more content.Batching removes decision fatigue: Pre-deciding formats and workflows makes consistency easier.Assets matter more than analytics: A portfolio of finished content closes deals faster than pitch decks or dashboards.Live selling scales trust: One-to-many selling builds confidence faster than one-to-one sales.Don't build on one platform: Algorithms, payouts, and rules change without warning. Diversification protects you.AI should support, not replace you: Use it for structure and clarity, not fake opinions or avatars.ResourcesBilly Thorpe: https://billythorpe.liveBilly's Dealmakers Community is FREE to join right now!

Pete Poggi is the founder and CEO of John Galt Insurance Franchising, where he scaled his property and casualty insurance agency from $3 million to $150 million in premiums in under seven years. A seasoned entrepreneur who once helped grow a chain of family salons before jumping into insurance, Pete is on a mission to teach everyday people—many with zero experience—how to build seven- and eight-figure insurance agencies through his proven system. He's also the author of PNC Insurance Accelerator and creator of the Million Dollar Producer program. On this episode we talk about: *  How Pete transitioned from family business to building one of Florida's fastest-growing insurance firms*  The flaws of traditional insurance franchise models and how John Galt flips the script*  Why independent agencies have the upper hand in today's market*  Pete's “relationship-first” business model that fuels 95% of his agency's growth*  How to build recurring income and financial freedom through property and casualty insurance Top 3 Takeaways 1.  The insurance industry offers unmatched recurring revenue potential—once you build your client base, income compounds year after year.2.  Focus on relationships, not transactions. Partnering with mortgage brokers and real estate agents can create a steady referral pipeline.3.  You don't need sales aggression to win in insurance—being genuine, consistent, and coachable drives long-term success. Notable Quotes *  “I don't really know any poor insurance people. Let me check this insurance thing out.”*  “If you follow the system and put in the work, I can almost make anybody successful.”*  “The insurance business is the best-kept secret to financial freedom ever invented.” Connect with Pete Poggi: *  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petepoggi*  Website: https://www.johngaltinsurancefranchising.com*  Training Program: https://www.petepoggi.com*  Learn more: https://www.myjgi.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

On today's episode, Travis and Eric break down some of the most common “popular” pieces of advice in entrepreneurship and personal development—and why blindly following them can keep you broke and stuck. Through stories, examples, and a lot of banter, they unpack how to actually think about risk, focus, multiple income streams, and the balance between working smart and working hard in 2026's economic reality. On this episode we talk about: *  Why “just quit your job and follow your dreams” can be both powerful and dangerous depending on your life situation*  The truth about “multiple streams of income” and why you should usually master one thing first*  Why “work smarter, not harder” is incomplete—and how combining both is where real money is made*  How simple, boring advice (like calorie deficits and cold calls) still beats sexy hacks and magic bullets*  Why there is never just “one way” to succeed, despite what many gurus preach from the stage Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Pursuing your dream is worth it—but timing, responsibilities, and cash flow matter; the path looks very different at 21 with no obligations than at 44 with a family and a mortgage.2.  Most wealthy people have multiple income streams, but they usually earn that diversification by going all-in on one vehicle first, then expanding within their lane.3.  Success is almost always a mix of working smart and hard, consistently doing the unsexy, high-ROI activities (like cold calling or outreach) that everyone else avoids. Notable Quotes *  “Putting off your dreams for the sake of safety and security can end up being the biggest risk you take.”*  “You have to earn the right not to do the things you don't like to do.”*  “It's always the most boring, simple advice that actually works—and that's exactly why most people ignore it.” Connect with Travis: *  Travis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*  Travis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*  Podcast: Travis Makes Money on all major platforms - leave a review and we'll love you forever!  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.

On this special episode, Travis flips the script and becomes the guest on his own show—handing the hosting reins to his AI co‑host “Charlie.” What starts as an experiment in automating one more part of his life turns into a rapid‑fire conversation about mindset, focus, myths about money, viral content, and why podcasting is still his favorite networking tool. You'll hear Travis break down how to think about income in 2026, what skills really matter now, and where he believes the entrepreneurial world is headed. On this episode we talk about: Why focusing on who you become matters more than the income target The #1 skill you need to juggle multiple income streams: focus The myth that you need formal qualifications to make more money Travis's top 5 underrated skills every entrepreneur should master Why he believes in-person events and connection are about to make a big comeback How starting a podcast can be the ultimate relationship and income-building tool Top 3 Takeaways Identity beats income goals. Instead of obsessing over a dollar amount, design the kind of person who can consistently earn that level of income—and build the habits that match. Focus is a superpower. Most wealthy people didn't start with seven income streams; they mastered one thing deeply before diversifying. Relationships scale revenue. Strong business friendships, often built through platforms like a podcast, open doors and opportunities that no cold outreach or random networking event can match. Notable Quotes “Stop asking, ‘How do I make a million dollars?' and start asking, ‘Who do I need to become to be the person who makes a million dollars?'” “The average millionaire might have seven income streams—but they didn't start with seven.” “You don't need more qualifications; you need to be the person who's willing to take the first step.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/traviscchappell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Website: https://www.travischappell.com Podcast: “Travis Makes Money” on all major platforms Learn more about your ad choices.

Lynn Smith is a former national news anchor for NBC, MSNBC, and CNN who now serves as an executive communication strategist and CEO of Lynn Smith Media & Communications, where she helps enterprise leaders become revenue-driving communicators. Drawing on 15 years inside top newsrooms, she coaches Fortune 500 CEOs to transform fear into confident communication that protects productivity, investor trust, and market value, and she is also the author of the children's book Just Keep Going, designed to teach kids resilience and courage from an early age. On this episode we talk about: How fear quietly sabotages CEOs, communication, and company performance Why Lynn wrote Just Keep Going as a children's book inspired by her work with executives A simple framework for assessing risk with best and worst-case scenarios The difference between real confidence and arrogance in leadership How to prepare for high-stakes communication moments without sounding scripted Why presence, energy, and human connection are irreplaceable in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways Fear is a signal, not a stop sign. The most successful leaders learn to “metabolize” fear, assess risk clearly, and move forward with smart, courageous decisions instead of staying stuck in their comfort zone. Preparation is the fastest path to confidence. When you prepare the right way—refining your message, practicing soundbites, and taming your inner critic—you show up calmer, clearer, and far more influential. Your communication and presence are your new competitive edge. As automation and AI expand, the leaders who win will be those who communicate with clarity, empathy, and energy that other humans actually want to follow. Notable Quotes “The greatest indicator of success is your ability to metabolize fear and assess risk without being reckless.” “Confidence isn't believing you're good at everything—it's knowing you'll figure it out even if you fail.” “If you don't communicate your vision effectively, it doesn't exist.” Connect with Lynn Smith: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnsmithtv Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/lynnsmithtv Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnsmithtv Website: https://www.lynnsmith.com Just Keep Going Book & Resources: https://www.justkeepgoingbook.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Most investors never question the hierarchy they're operating in. They borrow money, take on operational risk, manage tenants, absorb volatility, and send a large portion of every payment upstream to the lender.  If something breaks, if a tenant stops paying, if the market turns—the obligation to the bank doesn't change.  This is the Mr. Burns model: the banks sit at the top of the building collecting checks, while everyone else does the work below. The slow flip model flips that hierarchy entirely. Instead of rehabbing properties or betting on appreciation, the investor becomes the lender. Short-term private money is used to acquire low-dollar properties, then paid off quickly through long-term owner financing.  For the first few years, the deal feels tight. Cash flow is modest. But once the private capital is gone, the asset is owned free and clear—and the payments keep coming for decades. No leverage. No refinancing risk. No dependency on market timing. What makes this approach powerful isn't just the math, though the math is staggering. It's the positioning. Ultra-affordable housing behaves differently from traditional rentals. Demand doesn't disappear in downturns. People can always move down in price—but there's a floor they can't go below. And by structuring the deal as the bank, the investor removes themselves from the operational chaos that destroys so many otherwise "good" deals. In this episode, we sit down with Scott, a real estate investor who's been in the game since the 1990s, got crushed in the 2008 collapse, and rebuilt with a model explicitly designed to survive the next downturn.  We talk about why slow flips aren't about patience for patience's sake, how amortization quietly creates generational cash flow, and why the investors who win long term are usually the ones willing to give up speed early in exchange for control later. About Our Guest  Scott Jelinek is an entrepreneur, coach, full-time real estate investor, and author of The Art of the Slow Flip. He has been investing in real estate since 1994 and has completed well over six hundred deals, continuing to be a leader in the industry. He has owned and operated a wide variety of businesses, from tanning salons to hot dog shops--all while buying, selling, and renting properties. Today, Scott uses his knowledge and experience to coach other real estate investors. Over 15 years, Scott built a rental portfolio of more than 100 properties. On paper, it looked like success. In reality, it was constant tenant issues, mounting repairs, and growing leverage. By 2008, he was $1.3 million in debt and ultimately lost more than 55 properties to foreclosure. That experience forced a hard reset and led him to abandon traditional rentals in favor of what he later named the Slow Flip model: selling low-cost homes on terms and holding the paper. Since then, Scott has completed hundreds of slow flips, building long-term cash flow without tenants, repairs, or property management, and now focuses on helping other investors escape the operational grind of real estate.

Micro drama is one of the fastest-growing scripted formats in global digital video, and UK producers are only just beginning to understand its scale, speed and commercial potential.In this episode of TellyCast, Justin Crosby is joined by micro drama producer Samantha Sun from ReelForce to unpack how vertical, app-based scripted series really work. Samantha shares her journey from early Chinese-backed micro drama platforms to producing some of the biggest-budget vertical dramas made in the UK, and explains why this format is not a downgrade from television, but a fundamentally different production and monetisation model.The conversation explores how micro drama platforms acquire audiences through social video, why the first ten episodes matter more than anything else, how payment and revenue-share models actually function, and what UK TV producers often misunderstand when they approach the space with traditional assumptions.Samantha also addresses talent, diversity, AI in post-production, genre limitations, audience behaviour, and why micro drama is attracting serious attention from Hollywood, platforms, brands and investors. This is an essential listen for producers, commissioners, and digital-first studios trying to understand where scripted content is heading next.Sign up for The Drop newsletterSupport the showEnrol on the TellyCast Digital Bootcamp Buy tickets to How to Make Money in Digital Enter the Digital Video Awards Subscribe to the TellyCast YouTube channel for exclusive TV industry videosFollow us on LinkedInConnect with Justin on LinkedINTellyCast videos on YouTubeTellyCast websiteTellyCast instaTellyCast TwitterTellyCast TikTok

In this unique episode, Travis flips the script and “interviews” an AI financial expert—ChatGPT—about making money in 2026, diversification, live social shopping, and building a personal brand. Alongside in-studio producer Eric, Travis uses the conversation to highlight what AI gets right, where it still falls short, and how listeners can practically use these tools without losing their own voice or strategy. The result is a fun, meta, and surprisingly insightful look at the future of money-making in an AI-powered world. On this episode we talk about: Why the “best” financial advice in 2026 is turning what you already know into multiple income streams The right order of operations: master one core offer before you diversify Emerging money-making trends: niche communities, AI-powered tools, and micro-education How to “sell shovels in the gold rush” of AI instead of chasing every new shiny use case What live social shopping is and why big voices (like Gary Vee) are obsessed with it How to make money with live shopping even if you don't have your own products Platforms enabling live shopping (including Amazon Live) and how they work at a basic level Simple, kid-level breakdown of using Amazon's fulfillment plus live streams to sell products How to build trust from scratch so people will actually buy from your lives and content Recommended voices to follow for making money and building a personal brand How Travis can double down on his unique stance against toxic hustle culture The limits of AI as a podcast guest—what it's great at and where it still feels vague and “too nice” Top 3 Takeaways Multiple income streams only work if they're built on a strong, proven core offer—focus, then diversify. AI is a massive opportunity not just to “use,” but to build tools, training, and services that help others use it better. The next wave of making money combines authenticity, community, and live interactive selling on platforms people already use. Notable Quotes “Before you diversify, you really do need a strong core…get that one income stream really solid and then you can add on and diversify from there.” “If AI is the gold rush, the real opportunity is being the one selling the shovels—tools, platforms, and education that help others use AI effectively.” “Go bold without being divisive—challenge hustle culture, put lifestyle design and relationships first, and show people there's another way to win.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Coaching & podcast help: https://travischappell.com/coaching  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.

In today's episode, I sit down with Sylvester Raymond, founder and CEO of Piñata Digital Marketing, to talk about a radical alternative to ads, pop-ups, and manipulative targeting. Sylvester explains how his patent-pending system monetizes natural buying behavior without interrupting games, apps, streaming, or content. We talk about why people are paying billions to avoid ads, how ethical marketing can actually increase trust and returns, and why closed ecosystems matter for creators, brands, and platforms. We also get into plug-and-play integration, white-label wallets, and what it takes to build something big without losing humility or patience along the way.

This week, Travis sits down with Lorraine Marchand, acclaimed consultant, author, educator, and innovation leader. Lorraine has spent her career shaping how organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—approach problem solving and sustained growth. She's co-author of No Fear, No Failure: Five Principles for Sustaining Growth Through Innovation and brings decades of experience from roles at Bristol Myers Squibb, IBM, and on advisory boards for Johnson & Johnson and Hewlett Packard. On this episode we talk about: How Lorraine's father sparked her curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit at age 12 The invention of the “Sugar Cube” and her first lesson in innovation and royalties The difference between convergent and divergent problem solving Why fear of failure cripples innovation—and how to overcome it How Lorraine's new book helps leaders build a culture that encourages experimentation Top 3 Takeaways Curiosity and problem solving can be taught early—and they're the foundation of building wealth and innovation. The biggest barrier to innovation isn't lack of ideas; it's fear of failure and organizational rigidity. Success comes from reframing failure as learning, taking consistent risks, and staying commercially focused on solving real customer problems. Notable Quotes “Parents have a powerful role in cultivating curiosity and developing future innovators—don't take it lightly.” “The only problems worth solving are the ones customers will pay you to fix.” “Fear of failure stops innovation before it starts. Reframe it as learning, and you'll open up entirely new possibilities.” Connect with Lorraine Marchand: LinkedIn: Lorraine Marchand on LinkedIn Website: lorrainemarchand.com Book: No Fear, No Failure – available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org  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.

In this episode, Travis and Eric, his producer, take the mic to explore the skills that actually move the needle when it comes to making more money and keeping it. Blending sharp humor, AI-generated “comedy,” and real-world experience from his days in door-to-door sales, Travis breaks down why skills like sales, discipline, and learning itself matter far more than traditional schooling when it comes to building wealth. On this episode we talk about: *   Why AI still can't beat real human humor (yet) when it comes to money jokes*   The number one money-making skill Travis credits for changing his life: sales*   How discipline works like a muscle and why most people misunderstand it*   Why trying to change “everything at once” almost always fails*   The crucial meta-skill schools don't teach: how to actually learn Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Sales is one of the highest-leverage skills you can learn because it increases your confidence to take financial risks and bounce back if things don't work out.2.  Discipline is not a personality trait; it is a skill built over time through habits and systems that reduce how much “willpower” you need each day.3.  The most important skill missing from traditional education is the skill of learning itself—knowing how to acquire, process, and apply new information quickly. Notable Quotes *   “Sales is the thing that enables you to have more confidence to take more risks—which is also something that can make you good money.”*   “Discipline is a skill. People think some are just ‘super disciplined,' but they've simply worked on that skill long enough to install better habits.”*   “School is great at giving you information, but it's terrible at teaching you how to actually learn.” Connect with Travis Chapell: *   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell *   Other: https://travischappell.com *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell  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.

#251: Ready to be "that girl" financially in 2026? Tori Dunlap—bestselling author, financial feminist icon, and founder of Her First $100K—is back on The Everygirl Podcast, and she's holding nothing back. Tori shares exactly what she'd do right now if she wanted to level up her finances: We talk the money moves every woman should be making in 2026, the financial “rules” you need to break, and the mindset shifts that will make you truly unstoppable.

Whether you want to grow your income, build an emergency fund, finally stop feeling anxious about money, or just feel more empowered in your everyday life, this episode is the financial wellness pep talk you didn't know you needed.JOIN THIS WEEK'S BEST SELF CHALLENGE: https://theeverygirl.com/financial-success-challenge/For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.comListen to Tori's conversation with Credit Karma here.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down one of society's most enduring myths — that rich people are inherently “bad.” Drawing from his personal experiences interviewing and interacting with some of the wealthiest individuals in the world, Travis explores how wealth amplifies who we already are, rather than changes us. This episode turns humor, perspective, and real-world insight into an honest look at what it really means to be rich — in money and in mindset. On this episode we talk about: *   Why people often assume the wealthy are corrupt or unethical*   How money amplifies character rather than defining it*   The portrayal of rich people in Hollywood and popular media*   Why “new money” behavior differs from generational or extreme wealth*   The richest guest ever to appear on Travis Makes Money—and what he learned from him Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Money doesn't determine morality—it simply magnifies who you already are.2.  Hollywood often portrays the wealthy as villains because it sells, not because it reflects reality.3.  True wealth reveals itself through generosity, humility, and discipline, not flashiness or status symbols. Notable Quotes *   “Money is almost never the indicator of what kind of person you are—it's an amplifier of who you already are.”*   “It's easy to vilify the people we envy most…and that's why so many assume rich equals bad.”*   “The guy in the Lamborghini and the $5,000 suit is probably not the wealthiest person in the room.” Connect with Travis Chapel: *   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell *   Website: https://travischappell.com *   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell *   Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell  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.

Amy Leneker is a former C-suite executive turned leadership advisor, “recovering workaholic,” and author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead & Live with Less Stress & More Joy, where she teaches leaders and teams how to break the cycle of burnout and overwhelm. She has trained over 100,000 leaders, including those at Fortune 100 companies, and now serves as a Joy Strategist helping organizations thrive with less stress and more energy. On this episode we talk about: Amy's two burnout experiences and how her body forced her to stop The belief that “stress is the price of success” and why it's wrong Eustress vs. distress and how to tell which one you're in The “stress ruler” tool and how leaders can use it with their teams The Stockdale Paradox, toxic positivity, and bringing real joy back into work Top 3 Takeaways Stress is inevitable, but burnout is not—most high achievers are trapped in the story that stress is the price of success, when in reality chronic distress quietly kills performance and joy. You can and should use “good stress” (eustress) as fuel for growth while actively monitoring when it tips into “bad stress” (distress) that drains energy, health, and relationships. Simple practices—like rating your stress on a 0–10 “stress ruler,” defining clear seasons of hard pushes, and intentionally weaving joy into your normal days—create sustainable success instead of cycles of crash and recover. Notable Quotes “Stress isn't the price of success—it's the thief that steals it.” “My body shut down before my brain was willing to admit I was burned out.” “Joy isn't something you schedule once a quarter; it's something you protect and practice in the middle of real life.” Connect with Amy Leneker: Find out more about her book here: https://www.amyleneker.com/book LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyleneker Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/amy_leneker Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amy.leneker Other: https://www.amyleneker.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this episode, Travis is joined in the studio by his producer Eric for a candid and funny conversation about bad takes, wrong predictions, and the life lessons learned the hard way. Together, they break down the importance of adapting your views, learning in public, and staying self-aware as a creator and entrepreneur. From podcasting vs. YouTube debates to overthinking sales and chasing the wrong kind of success, this one's packed with real talk and self-reflection. On this episode we talk about: How Travis's early anti-YouTube stance held him back and what he's doing about it now. Why 40% of podcast listeners now prefer video, and what that means for creators. The shift from “never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with” to a more nuanced approach to mentorship. The danger of overthinking—and why being too smart can actually hurt your ability to sell. How people confuse “inspiration” with “imitation” when following others' success paths. Top 3 Takeaways Video has become inseparable from audio—if you're not publishing your podcast on YouTube, you're missing half your audience. You can't separate success in one area from the habits that shape an entire life—find role models whose full lifestyles you'd actually want to live. Intelligence doesn't equal impact: action and consistency outwork smarts almost every time. Notable Quotes “If you're not putting your podcast on YouTube, you're missing out on a huge audience.” “Pick fewer people to listen to—ones who live the kind of full life you actually want.” “You don't need to be the smartest person in the room; you just need to do the work the smart people overthink.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this episode, Travis and his producer use everything from Avatar and A24 movies to office space and social media trends to explore a simple question: what actually matters for making more money—and what's just ego and aesthetics? They break down titles, office space, optics, and “being first” versus being consistent, and show where each one really fits in a practical business strategy.​ On this episode we talk about: Why job titles (“CEO,” “founder,” etc.) rarely matter to customers—and how they're often used in corporate settings to extract more work without more pay.​ How Travis changed his mind on office space, and why in‑person teams can still beat fully remote setups for culture, communication, and output.​ The difference between healthy brand perception (optics that match reality) and fake positioning that can backfire when you can't deliver.​ Whether you really need to be “first” in a new trend, space, or platform—or if you're better off being second and more consistent.​ Why copying every new “expert” pivot (Web3, NFTs, AI, etc.) is usually worse than staying in one lane and compounding your skills over time.​ Top 3 Takeaways Titles are mostly internal theater. Clients care about results, not whether you call yourself founder, CEO, or “bull”; focus on competence and clarity, not status.​ Optics matter—but only if they're true. Brand, image, and perception can open doors, but if they don't match your real capabilities, they create refunds, resentment, and reputation damage.​ Consistency beats trend chasing. You don't need to be first to a new platform or idea to win; you need to be good, reliable, and around long enough for your work to compound.​ Notable Quotes “You can't escape perception; brand is just what people think when they hear your name.”​ “If people perceive you as great and you're not, that's bad for business. If you are great and nobody perceives it, that's bad for business too.”​ “Most people would have made more money sticking with one skill for ten years than ‘reinventing' themselves every eighteen months.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️
