215 - Pursuing Work That Matters: Why All Work Isn't Created Equal....For You

All work matters, but not all work matters to you or to me. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses work from the perspective of meaning. If 70% of Americans dislike or hate their jobs, there has to be a better solution. Instead of viewing some work as inherently good (pay, status, etc.), we need to ask if that particular work is good for us. When we better understand what work best fits each of us, we can begin to pursue work that truly matters.

214 - Perception Vs. Reality: How Our Eyes Deceive Us When It Comes to Success

Never judge a book by its cover, right? Easy to say, hard to follow. When we look at other people's lives, we like to use external signals (clothes, houses, cars, trips) as a way to perceive their level of wealth, success, or status. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he thinks these external signals are often misleading. In fact, we believe there can oftentimes be an inverse correlation between external signals and actual success. Why? Because the cost of the signals can be the roadblock to the actual success.

213 - Sticking to the Plan - Why Shortcuts Are Never Our Friend

212 - What is Success? Redefining What it Means to Win

In today's culture, success is measured in sales, growth, profit, and a number of other objective financial measures. In some ways, this makes sense. It's measurable and comparable. However, if we use these measuring sticks to define success, we may actually miss out on what's really important to us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why it's important for each of us to answer the question: What do I really want? Once we do, the definition of success may look dramatically different then what some arbitrary financial measures can dictate.

211 - Deep Questions From the Omaha YP Summit

Last week, host Travis Shelton had the opportunity to share the Meaning Over Money message at the Omaha YP Summit, the largest young professionals conference in the country. Wow, it was awesome! On the heels of his talk, several people approached him to ask questions about their own lives. These were deep and important questions. Also, more than likely, these are similar questions shared by many. Therefore, we wanted to take a moment to publicly answer some of these questions in hopes of adding value to many.

209 - The Tale of Two Couples: Why It's Not Always About the Income

We live in a culture that elevates income as the be-all and end-all in determining financial success. This makes sense, but it's simply not true. Yes, income matters. However, one's income is not the primary driving force behind whether or not they are financially successful. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this concept through the lens of two couples in similar life stages but with very different incomes. This one is an eye-opener.

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.

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.
