Travis Chappell

You don’t have to cut back so much that you miss out on the present, and you don’t need to become the next Jeff Bezos either. Hosted by veteran podcaster Travis Chappell, each daily episode features interviews with regular people just like you – yes, you – who have learned how to make more money in unique and unconventional ways. From turning side hustles into an extra six figures to building massive business empires, these conversations dive into the mindset shifts, hard-earned lessons, and simple strategies that helped these individuals succeed. With over 1,000 podcast episodes under his belt, Travis has developed a unique ability to pull out inspiring stories and practical advice you can apply to your own financial journey that you just won’t hear anywhere else.

276: Philip McKernan | Do Your Inner Work First
Philip McKernan is the author and founder of One Last Talk, the book and the movement. Philip helps you turn your mess into your message, find your deepest struggle and turn it into your best story. He works with people all over the world to remove mental roadblocks and see things they aren’t seeing. Philip has worked with the Canadian Olympic team, the Pentagon, and many professional sports teams. In this, the Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Philip talks to your host Travis Chapell about how your pain makes you who you are and allows you to become the best version of yourself, how Philip got his first book deal and takes a new spin on networking.
Episode Highlights:
At 12 years old it was a time where he was being told what he could and couldn’t do and felt disconnected and lost but couldn’t articulate it.
He went to a protestant school but was a Catholic and one class helped him to feel heard and think outside of what he was told.
When Philip was 14 years old he went to NYC on his own and it was the freest he’d ever felt.
The most courageous part of any change is beginning to question the current reality.
After high school, he got a job and was mostly selling consumer products in Ireland.
Anything other than the status quo is better if the status quo isn’t working for you.
You have to be willing to stop and ask really simple questions.
Judgment is the greatest block and inhibitor to growth.
The number one challenge everyone faces in the world is self-worth.
Where the internal disgust with ourselves comes from.
Modelling has some upside but a massive dark side.
Every person on earth has done things they’re ashamed about.
The thing that you bring to the world is the thing you almost didn’t have yourself.
You need to be in touch with the cost of doing something every day that doesn’t bring you joy.
If you go and do a job that you don’t love, you have t to manage your expectations.
When people do something they don’t love they put undue expectations on the other areas of their life.
We’re not practising our gifts because we can’t monetize them.
The practice that helps Philip gain clarity:
Stop consuming information for a period of time.
Create space for yourself.
If you chase growth and insights and passion it often runs away from you.
There are so many people living in their heads it’s becoming an epidemic.
How to cultivate genuine relationships with people better.
The most important relationship we have on earth is the one with ourselves.
If you feel you need someone on this earth in order to be happy, that’s a flaw.
People compartmentalize networking and relationships and there shouldn’t be a difference.
If networking doesn’t look the same as relationship building, you’re in trouble.
Scarcity is more about you than the world.
Who you know is most important because when you’re at your lowest those people will lift you up.
The Random Round
What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt?
Full-time writer
If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why?
His 12-year old self
How do you like to consume content?
Video
Philip’s morning routine:
Wake up in the morning
Have a cup of coffee
Decide what he wants to do
What is your go-to pump up song?
He doesn’t have one, listens to grounding music.
It would be U2 Where the Streets Have No Name
What is something you’re not very good at?
Managing people

After a year and a half of volunteering on the hotline he started training at Quantico.
Chris talks about how his first real hostage negotiation went.
There’s never one fatal error, a lot of things lead up to the moment when things go bad.
If you do everything you know to the best of your ability and it’s still not enough, you need to learn more.
The practices gratification Chris’s team had when working with the team at Harvard.
Empathy is not sympathy or compassion, but to use it is a sympathetic thing to do.

Episode Highlights:
Hither Mann
Hither is a multi-million dollar real estate and forex investor out of London.
Networking is about building relationships - you’re only annoying if you’re not genuine.
People treat networking like it’s door to door sales, but that’s not how relationship building is.
Always know what you want before you enter, know the end goal first.
Joel Brown
The first level of learning is knowledge, the second it understanding, the third is wisdom which is gained through application.
Joel would double down on great relationships if he had to choose one, but growing his knowledge was also critically important.

Dan Fleyshman
Speaker, angel investor, and youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history.
Who you know is most important, and it’s not even close.
You don’t need to know what what every expert knows, you need to know the people who can leverage their knowledge.
Dan talks about a time when a connection led to a moment of success.
The number one most important practice that has allowed Dan to build relationships.
Dan adds value on a massive scale and when he does ask for something he’s very direct.
3 Key Points:
Don’t focus on the money, focus on the relationship.
To learn you need knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
It’s not what you know, it’s what they know - you skip the line by knowing people who have already done what you want to do.
