In this casual, live-recorded studio episode, Travis is joined by his producer Eric for an unfiltered conversation sparked by a clip from The Iced Coffee Hour and host Graham Stephan. What starts as light banter quickly turns into a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of tipping culture, customer experience, and how social pressure has quietly reshaped the way we spend money. On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis shares his honest opinions on when tipping makes sense, when it feels forced, and why “optional” tips are starting to feel more like hidden taxes. From self-serve frozen yogurt shops to high-end restaurants, this episode dives into the psychology of tipping—and how entrepreneurs and consumers alike should think about value, service, and expectations. If you've ever felt awkward staring at an iPad tip screen or wondered where the line should be drawn, this one's for you. On this episode we talk about: Why tipping expectations have exploded over the last few years The difference between genuine service and automated tip prompts When Travis happily tips big—and when he refuses on principle How social pressure influences spending decisions Why tipping before service creates terrible customer experiences The personal rule Travis uses to decide whether he can “afford” a restaurant How businesses are quietly shifting labor costs onto customers Top 3 Takeaways A tip should reward great service—not replace fair wages. If you're doing all the work yourself, you shouldn't feel obligated to tip. If you can't afford to tip generously at a nice place, you probably can't afford to eat there yet. Notable Quotes “If I can't afford to tip generously, then I don't deserve to be eating at that place yet.” “That's not a tip anymore—that's just a tax.” “Tipping before the service is completed is one of the worst customer experiences there is.” Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Money Talks is a series exploring a godly perspective on financial health. For many people, money is one of the biggest sources of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. A lack of confidence, mounting pressure, and fear about the future leave countless people feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Over the coming weeks, we'll be opening up what the Bible says about money—our mindset, our priorities, and how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us. Scripture reminds us to pay attention to the state of what we've been given, recognising that wealth is temporary, but wisdom lasts. This series is about bringing hope where there's anxiety, clarity where there's confusion, and freedom where poor financial management has created fear. Through biblical teaching, pastoral insight, and prayer, we'll look at contentment, putting God first, wise stewardship, and living a life of unusual generosity—the kind of life that reflects God's heart for each of us. Whether you feel confident with money or completely overwhelmed by it, Money Talks is an invitation to face finances with faith, wisdom, and freedom. To continue the series Lee Brown shared a message titled 'From tipping to tithing'. Catch up on this great message here.

Tipping after a hunting safari in Africa is one of the most misunderstood parts of the experience — especially for international hunters visiting South Africa for the first time. In this solo episode, I break down safari tipping and gratuities in a clear, practical way. We cover who should be tipped, how much is considered fair, when tips are usually given, and why tipping plays such an important role in the African hunting and game industry. This episode includes real-world guidance on: Tipping a Professional Hunter (PH) Gratuities for trackers, skinners, and camp staff Common tipping mistakes hunters make Why gratuities directly impact conservation, livelihoods, and service quality How to plan and budget for tips before your safari Whether you're planning your first African hunt or returning for another safari, this episode will help you feel confident, prepared, and respectful when it comes to tipping in South Africa and across Africa. This is an honest, experience-based conversation aimed at improving understanding within the hunting industry and helping hunters navigate safari culture with clarity.
Gary and Selena drift through everyday chaos, aging, intimacy, and irritation as a casual conversation about colors turns into reflections on turning forty, gift expectations, and the strange emotional weight attached to birthdays. They talk massages, tipping anxiety, overpriced upgrades, sore feet, and the disappointment of hot stone add-ons that miss the point. Domestic tension bubbles up through broken heirlooms, cats causing destruction, and disagreements about emotional reactions, overreacting, and what it means to feel heard during conflict.The conversation slides into awkward neighborhood encounters, paranoia about being overheard, public embarrassment, and how small moments spiral into resentment. Gary and Selena unpack bickering, criticism, Reddit reactions, and the thin line between honest conversation and uncomfortable listening. Travel stress enters the mix with airline seating changes, gate checking chaos, lost seats, and feeling powerless while following instructions. The episode winds through bugs, grasshoppers, bodily discomfort, television fatigue, relationship negotiations, and the quiet realization that everyday life feels louder, messier, and harder to smooth out than expected.

The number of businesses inviting us to tip their workers is growing all the time. Tipping used to be restricted to full service restaurants, but now it's spread to coffee chains and fast-food joints. A new analysis published by BC Policy Solutions proposes that it's time to finally ban tipping in Canada and enact a living wage. We speak with Simon Pek, one of the authors of the piece.

How do you tip and who do you tip to are two of the hardest questions to answer on a night out. This week, the consumer watchdog tried to make things clearer as the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued a report which said technology has changed the tipping landscape. It also issued guidelines to ensure that people more clearly understand where their money is going and why. Conor Pope, Consumer Affairs Editor from The Irish Times, joins Bobby to discuss.

Humanoid robots are coming into our homes, but they probably won't be doing your laundry anytime soon.In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Jan Liphardt, founder & CEO of OpenMind and Stanford bioengineering professor, to unpack what home robots will actually do in the near future ... and why the “labor-free home” vision is mostly a myth (for now).Jan explains why hands are still one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics, why folding laundry is far harder than it looks, and why the most valuable early use cases for home robots aren't chores at all. Instead, we explore where robots are already delivering real value today:• Health companionship and fall detection for aging parents• Personalized education for kids, beyond screens• Home security that respects privacy• And why people form emotional bonds with robots faster than expectedWe also dive into OM1, OpenMind's open-source, AI-native operating system for robots, and why openness, transparency, and configurability will matter deeply as robots move from factories into our living rooms.If you're curious about the real future of humanoid robots — what's hype, what's possible today, and what's coming next — this conversation is for you.

Gary and Shannon dive headfirst into a surprisingly heated debate over whether hotel housekeeping should always be tipped, with listeners calling out Gary for knowing the etiquette and still choosing not to do it. Shannon presses him on why he keeps waffling, while Gary argues it is cultural, tied to visibility, and increasingly complicated by tipping expectations everywhere you turn.The conversation expands into Governor Gavin Newsom’s shifting political tone as he eyes a presidential run, including whether his social media presence is being driven more by activists than authenticity. The hour circles back to tipping as Board Wizard Elmer weighs in, listener talk backs roll in, and Shannon ultimately concedes there may be rare exceptions, while still arguing that hard working hotel staff should not be the ones paying the price for a broken tipping system.

In this Rohatsu sesshin talk, Chozen reflects on awakening, silent mind, and the constructed personality that both protects and confines us. Drawing on the Buddha's own awakening, the teaching of “don't-know mind” from Seung Sahn Sunim, Eckhart Tolle's modern account of disidentification from thought, and the koan of Isan tipping over the water bottle, she points to the moment when thinking falls away and original mind reveals itself—vast, intimate, and free from entanglement. The invitation is to trust this silence, let personality become optional, and allow awakening to flow through the body and into everyday life. ★ Support this podcast ★

William White returns to assess a world edging closer to systemic stress. Drawing on decades advising central banks, he describes a macro regime defined not by temporary shocks, but by a deep reversal of the forces that once kept inflation low and debt manageable. From de-globalization and demographic decline to energy constraints and fragile supply chains, the conversation traces how rising costs collide with record public and private leverage. White warns that policy makers are trapped between inflationary pressures and debt sustainability, with no clean exit in sight. The discussion closes on AI, currency fragmentation, and the uncomfortable possibility that today's stability masks a far more dangerous future.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow William on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why unchecked booms become more dangerous over time01:37 - Setting the stage for a new global macro regime03:53 - From disinflation to persistent inflation pressure07:10 - Supply side forces reversing after decades of support12:07 - Debt accumulation and unintended policy consequences13:03 - Why higher rates did not trigger an immediate crisis18:53 - Debt dynamics and the problem of sustainability19:57 - Tipping points and the psychology of market breaks26:40 - What happens when...

Ticked Off Tuesday kicks off with Jared roasting the podcasts that “took the week off,” declaring Best Of episodes basically a slap in the face when everyone needs comfort-content most. Then he vents about the Paul brothers making an absurd $92 million boxing a pro. His main chaos story is an Orlando show where late arrivals spent eight full minutes loudly ordering drinks mid-set. Listener rants pile on: speakerphone calls on a 7am NYC train, a beloved best friend whose “maximalism” has become full trash ecosystem, and a budget massage place that tried to demand a $20 tip like it was an entry fee. He closes with a very millennial-sounding housing/internet nightmare that turns into a realization: we are forever the test generation, getting whiplash from “your building only has AT&T” to “lol it's all in the air now.”Jared is on tour!
