Travis Makes Money SOLO | Make Money By Becoming Someone Your Kids Can Be Proud Of
Travis kicks off a new solo format for Travis Makes Money, focusing on personal development and how becoming your best self is the real foundation for making more money and living well. He draws on years of relentless self-education—hundreds of books and countless podcast episodes—to share lessons from his own growth journey as a dad, entrepreneur, and competitor. In this episode, he uses parenting as a lens to explore legacy, habits, and the kind of person you must become if you want your kids to thrive.
On this episode we talk about:
-
Why the show is shifting to three episodes a day and what each format will cover
-
How solo episodes will focus on personal growth and lessons from Travis’s own journey
-
The core question: “Would I be proud if my kids became me?”
-
How kids absorb behaviors instead of advice, and what that means for parenting
-
Balancing competitiveness with learning how to lose well (and what UNO reveals about character)
-
Why your true legacy is your values, habits, and self-talk—not your bank account
-
The danger of trying to spare your kids from pain and the importance of their “adventure”
-
The “live like you’re being watched” mindset for becoming a better human
Top 3 Takeaways
-
Your kids won’t become who you tell them to be; they’ll become who you are. The most powerful parenting tool you have is your daily behavior.
-
The best inheritance isn’t money—it’s your self-talk, habits, standards, and values. Those intangibles will serve your kids far longer than any cash you pass down.
-
Live as if your life is being filmed and copied by a billion people. If everyone lived like you did today, would the world be better or worse? Let that question guide your choices.
