199 - Fun vs. Fulfillment: The Importance of Meaningful Work

"Is it ok to enjoy your work, but not find meaning in it?" This is a question we've been asked many times. We think it's awesome if your work is enjoyable....what a gift! However, we don't think that's enough. Eventually, even the most fun work will feel empty if it doesn't provide meaning and purpose. To illustrate this principle, we use the Coke vs. Pepsi challenge.

198 - One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure

We live in a culture that tells us what we should buy, consume, and desire. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton uses the tale of two computers to illustrate the importance of having self-awareness of what truly adds value to our lives. What's valuable to one person may not be for another. If we're honest with ourselves and align our values with our behavior, we have a chance to come out on top.

183 - Why Do We Celebrate Selfish Hoarding?

In our opinion, one of the trends we dislike the most in the personal finance space is the celebration and encouragement of selfish hoarding. By selfish hoarding, we are referring to the people who save a very high percentage of their income. Saving in and of itself certainly isn't bad, but it comes at a cost: generosity and enjoyment. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the short-term and long-term ramifications of this shifting culture. We'd love to know what you think!

182 - Why We Don't Support Our Own: Jealousy in Small Business

In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses a phenomenon he's seeing more and more these days. Many small business owners are carving their niche and finding success, while at the same time not always getting support from the people they'd expect to support them most. This is an interesting dynamic, and one worth discussing. We think it comes down to one key thing: jealousy. Some of it is conscious jealousy, while some may also be more subconscious. Small business owners, what are you experiencing in your own life and business?

181 - Focus On The Journey, Not The Destination

When we have goals, whether they are financial, fitness, spiritual, career, or something else, we focus on the outcome......the destination. Yes, the destination is important. However, we believe the journey is even more important than the destination. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why the journey is so important and how we often rob ourselves of something important by dwelling on the outcome.
