EP 536: Travis Macy, Lifestyle Design, Parenting, Hunting, and Burro Racing

This week I am posting a podcast we actually did with Travis Macy over on his podcast. Travis is an adventure addict that has been on my show a couple times. He is the author of the book Ultra Mindset and has spent a lifetime training for adventure races of the highest caliber. This week we chat about Lifestyle design and how that has evolved for both of us as parents who also still have a big need to be adventurous and seek out the solo adventures.

We launched multiple businesses and the feedback was outstanding. I think people were blown away. When I first had the idea to launch the course I didn’t know whether to make it about starting a side hustle or just about entrepreneurship. Through teach those first 25 students I have realized that this is a course about how to make time and money. So so many would be entrepreneurs start a project only to realize they only started a job and freedom to hunt as much as they want is nowhere to be seen. This course is about choosing the right ideas and or pivoting from the wrong ones. My entire life has been build around how do I create an income that allows me to go do the things I love. I have made a pile mistakes along the way and I want to teach people like me how to avoid those potholes.
