Travis Jennings spent almost a decade educating the wealthy on better techniques and strategies to improve their personal finance, investments, and taxes. Over time, he learned that one of the key differences between those with wealth and those without, is the type of financial education they receive. The current system guides the brightest advisors to the wealthy...leaving the rest of us to own devices. Without a trained advisor to guide you through the process of debt elimination and then on to wealth creation, most of us live in financial peril with no real light at the end of the tunnel. Travis and his team created an easy to follow educational and implementation series that teaches you how to get completely out of debt, including your mortgage, without affecting your lifestyle or spending habits. Travis Jennings Vroom/Veer Stories Became at father at age 17, started learning responsibility Worked at State Farm to pay the bills; attended college part time Joined the Air Force; thought maybe he would be a contractor Switched to part-time Air Force, and started a custom home building business A home client was a financial advisor, he seemed to have a nice life Found his calling in the world of finance; studied macro economics Worked as a financial advisor for old wealthy clients; Created a system to help the rest of us eliminate debt and create wealth.

Eric Zimmer 3 is a behavior coach, podcast host, and author. He is endlessly inspired by the quest for a greater understanding of how our minds work and how to intentionally create the lives we want to live. At the age of 24, Eric was homeless, addicted to heroin and facing long jail sentences. In the years since he has found a way to recover from addiction and build a life worth living for himself.    Eric works as a behavior coach and has done so for the past 20 years. He has coached hundreds of people from around the world on how to make significant life changes and create habits that serve them well in achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves.  In addition to his work as a behavior coach, he currently hosts the award-winning podcast, The One You Feed, based on an old parable about two wolves at battle within us. With over 300 episodes and over 13 million downloads, the show features conversations with experts across many fields of study about how to create a life that has less suffering and more fulfillment and meaning.  Guests on the show include scientists, authors, researchers, teachers, thought leaders, spiritual gurus, and public figures and all offer practical, actionable wisdom that listeners can readily apply to their daily lives in order to act their way into a better experience of living.  His story and his work have been featured in the media including TedX, Mind Body Green, Elephant Journal, the BBC and Brain Pickings. Eric Zimmer 3 Vroom Vroom Veer Stories Principles that make it easy to build any habit; includes start small and linking triggers to events that already happen daily; when I get out of bed, I take a walkWhat are the two surprising elements that drive all spiritual transformation? 1) Intention: What do you want to happen? What do you want to do? 2) Attention: Where is your attention? Are you attending to the person or the TV show?What is resistance? Pain * resistance = suffering. I'm flying to Japan that is a 6 level of pain. My resistance is screaming in my head; I just want to be in bed now but I have more hours of traveling on the ground in front of me. You can reduce the pain score by getting a hotel after the airport; you can also accept that traveling is hard and reduce your resistance by telling yourself that you are ok...tired but ok.Permanent: nothing lasts forever. Personal: Most pain/resistance is not personal; it just is part of being human; Perfect --nothing is perfect; humans are flawed and messy and that's ok The Middle path says theirs is a way between extremes; it's not always the center line; but there is a way to think be in between all and nothing. Portal 2 is a great example of the middle way...you play with a partner and you need each other to 1) solve the puzzle 2) execute the solution; Jeff died fast and often and learned by doing; his partner analyzed the puzzle without killing his robot--two extremes created the middle way.

Kimberley Pittman-Schulz is an award-winning poet and author who writes, teaches, and speaks about death, living mindfully, and being a force for change in the world. She helps those struggling with loss,especially women, to cultivate joy in their lives. By following her steps, beginning with simple mindful sensory moments (what she calls Tiny-Come-Back-to-Your-Senses Rituals), those in grief can learn to create space for this joy to emerge, and re-engage with life through giving to a cause bigger than themselves. Neither a grief counselor nor a therapist, Kimberley offers a fresh, unique perspective through her personal experiences with loss and grief as well as her work as a philanthropist and an end-of-life planning advisor. She challenges the common assumption of grief and joy as opposites and believes that they can, and do, co-exist, and that with practice you can grow joy and well-being. Kimberley’s book, Grieving Us, was a #1 New Release on Amazon in several categories upon its release in March 2021. Kimberley Pittman-Schulz Her father was a field engineer and drove around the country from job to job in a travel trailer; Kimberley loved to read and was happy to tag alongIn high school still read a lot and was a band geek; played the flute and learned she could make more money as a musical teacher instead of working a fast food job; learned and taught many instrumentsThought about studying music but didn't have time to do the performance part of the school; studied English instead; loved to write and readWhile in grief herself decided to take a walk down to the river; she just took 3 minutes to breath and experience nature; later realized she had taken a "break" from grief; for those 3 minutes yes was "ok"Pandemic grief is complicated for all of us; everyone became more aware of our own mortality with so many people dying around us--especially so many people dying without loved ones by their side The loss of a companion animal can be just as intense as losing a human loved-one; we still need to process and keep these loving relationships alive in our lives in new waysGrief and Joy don't have to been seen as opposites; you can find joy while in grief in little 3 minutes pieces Connections Website Book

Chris Brogan (BOV) was very kind to be on my show at launch...this is a quick chat, but well worth a listen.  Fun, and insightful about what is right and what is wrong in the world of content creation. Chris Brogan explores how people use content and community to build marketplaces around areas of belonging. He is CEO of Owner Media Group, a sought after public speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author of eight books and working on his ninth, Belong: A Framework for Embracing Community, Driving the Economy and Building the Future. Learn more about him at chrisbrogan.com. Chris Brogan (BOV):   How did you become a Buddhist Chris went to an event with his better half Jacq Shambala event. Jacq broke all the rules and became BFFs with Pema Chodron Chris does his Buddhism on his own by reading and meditating. Can you run your life at 40% and get a business going? YES! Chris see many people starting out running around being busy because they don't know what they are supposed to do...he get's that. Figure out where you belong instead of where you fit in...then things start getting smarter, quicker, faster. Chris serves people who are trying to figure how to: Create Content that Nurtures a community and perhaps earn the opportunity to create a marketplace You can run at 40% when you stop chasing "everything" and you start serving those people you have the pleasure and opportunity to serve. If you don't know where you belong, it's takes some internal work to figure out where you are supposed to be. Life at 40% allows one to build an energy reserve Being sleep deprived doesn't serve anybody...should be for emergency (non business) use only...such as life and death situations. Chris build his life with plenty of blank space on his calendar to serve his people. Chris never has burnout He puts his mask on first he serves himself and his higher power 2nd circle are the people he loves the most...not all his loved ones...those he loves the most. 3rd are mentors and people he mentors 4th are customers Many people put customers first, but those are the people who gain/lose weight, or get sick and loose time. Chris Brogan (BOV):  Belonging, Content, and Community People are throwing out content without knowing "WHY" they are doing it. There's a lot of box checking going on in the Platform space....somebody said I need a podcast...here's a podcast....CHECK! It makes Chris weepy. He wants the whole "content marketing" community to work better Content has to serve 1) the content marketer is served by creating a possibility for an opportunity to sell 2) serve the community as useful, entertaining and informative. Belong to the Community you want to serve...like if you want to serve the Spartan Race crowd...run the Spartan race...or partner with them. You need to listen to what the community wants and needs and nurture your belonging relationship within the community. Then you can earn the opportunity to sell within that community. The reason people have a hard time selling is they are pushing against a space wherein they have not earned the opportunity to sell...that's what Chris is trying to fix. You don't need to create a community you just need to belong and start serving to earn an opportunity to sell. Are "Quotes" content marketing? No. A quote of Chris's is loaded into a robot that tweets 100 times everyday and they all have @chrisbrogan.  This screws up his tweeter feed. Those are robots talking to robots...nobody cares about your quotes. Chris did 45 tweets everyday...the same tweets...nobody complained. Sharing other people's stuff is pretty cool. The powerful shares are natural and organic within the community that contains cleverly embedded branding. Like the Spartan Race Community loves to snap instagram pics of people all muddy jumping over fire...that's powerful content. Quoting a bunch of crap because you think you are supposed to b...

Scott Sunderland found himself lying in a hospital bed, unable to move any part of his body. In 3 days, he went from a very capable, athletic man to completely paralyzed with a mind full of fear. He believed he was more than just his body, and he used that power throughout the next year. Taught himself how to literally walk out of that room and into a new life. Then, on July 27th, 2012, Scott’s world came crashing down once again. He was walking on a beach with his best friend and three children. The sand collapsed under their feet, throwing them into a current, fighting for their lives. Scott made it to shore. Next, he watched his best friend, Brad, take his last breath before a wave washed over him and he was gone. This experience left Scott completely broken and searching. For the next five years, he yearned for Brad’s forgiveness. He realized that it was his own that he was searching for. Scott made a promise to live an inspired life for both Brad and himself. Scott left a life that wasn’t serving him and stepped into the power that he realized he always was. Today, Scott has kept his promise and tells his stories as triumphs. Teaching others that all their limitations, failures, sicknesses, losses, and addictions help show them the door to their own greatness. He inspires, motivates, and empowers people to help them realize they are the victor just waiting to be uncovered.
