In this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down the modern “buy back your time” culture—everything from viral clips glamorizing $400/month haircuts to outsourcing every basic task. Eric brings his media and production perspective, while Travis adds years of entrepreneurial insight, creating a practical, funny, and eye-opening look at what actually matters when it comes to time, money, and priorities.
On this episode we talk about:
-
The rise of “alpha bro” outsourcing content and why so much of it is performative
-
When paying to save time is genuinely smart—and when it’s just a flex
-
The psychology behind choosing what to do yourself vs. hiring it out
-
Why cooking at home, reading books, and doing the obvious can be a real competitive advantage
-
How Travis evaluates whether a time-saving purchase is actually worth it
