Episode Title: S1E18 - Does Money Buy Happiness? w/ Travis Shelton
Episode Summary: On today's episode, I have the honor to talk with Travis Shelton from Meaning Over Money. In a past life, Travis was very successful in a commercial real estate career and paid off over $200,000 in debt. He has left that life and started new work teaching people to find a deeper purpose with their money and in life. This episode was a follow up conversation of his podcast episode, "Money and Happiness: It’s Not What You Think". Travis and I talk through the behavioral science of money, the hedonic treadmill, and ultimately answer the question; "Does Money Buy Happiness"?
Context: I met Justin Nacpil (creator and host of the Road to Wealth Podcast) through money Twitter. Honestly, I think Justin really appreciated the beatings I regularly took on the platform. Over the course of time, we struck up an ongoing conversation and found ourselves engaging in the same Twitter threads. We also found a common bond around fatherhood and growing up Bulls fans in 90s. What I most appreciate about Justin is his willingness to engage in topics/ideas he may not necessarily agree with, but has a hunger to learn more about. On this particular episode, we continue the conversation around money and happiness that originally stemmed from an episode of our podcast. Justin and I talked for maybe another 90 minutes AFTER the mics turned off. I just loved chatting with him.
