Episode 6: "Meaning Over Money" - Travis Shelton

Travis Shelton is a financial coach, founder of Shelton Consulting, and host of the Meaning Over Money podcast. But his path here wasn't straight — it ran through a job loss at the height of the 2008 financial crisis, $236,000 in debt, and an involuntary move back to Iowa three days into his engagement. What came out of that season was a completely different philosophy about money, work, and what it actually means to win.In this conversation, Travis breaks down the difference between being wealthy and being rich, why the most financially fragile people are often the ones who look the most successful, and why he eventually walked away from managing billion-dollar portfolios — taking a 90% pay cut — to serve people in a more meaningful way. If you've ever felt the pressure to keep up, this episode is for you.Find Travis at travisshelton.com and at the Meaning Over Money podcast wherever you may listen.
