Travis Makes Friends

Travis Chappell

About

As the world goes more virtual, it’s more and more difficult to keep making friends as adults —especially if you want friends who will bring energy to your life instead of drain it, friends with whom you can be honest, friends who have your best interest at heart, and ultimately, friends who turn you into a better version of yourself. If you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, then making friends is the number one self-development activity you can master.

After 800 episodes of the top-rated business podcast Build Your Network, Travis Chappell learned that networking is really the same thing as just making friends with people. In this newly rebranded show, Travis Makes Friends, it’s Travis’ goal to simply give listeners like you a chance to get to know world-class performers who can help you become a better version of yourself and share his connection secrets in the process.

If you want friends that push you to be better, then subscribe to the show and join Travis as he has conversations with world-class athletes like Shaquille O’Neal, entertainers like Rob Dyrdek, authors like Dr. Nicole LePera, former presidents like Vicente Fox, or even the occasional FBI hostage negotiator, billionaire real estate mogul, polarizing political figure, or controversial social media influencer.

It’s time to stop networking and start making better friends.

PAUL PIERCE | No Fear of Failure

Ask Paul Pierce, and he will tell you: When you have suffered, when you have failed, when you have known what it is to be humbled — when you endure all of that and emerge on top, triumph is all the sweeter. The journey of the 6’7″ Hall of Fame forward, from the playgrounds of L.A. to superstardom and back again, is astounding both for its success and how it was achieved. From his childhood through college and the NBA, Paul toiled on the court, working tirelessly on his game, never with fanfare, always with confidence. Throughout a 19-year NBA career, No. 34 was a consummate player, stalwart defender and offensive dynamo. At his peak, he famously faced up and defeated LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in the same championship playoff run. An all-star, NBA champion and Finals MVP, he has lived up to the meaning of his nickname — the Truth — by staying true to himself.

799: Justin Sloan | The Power of Diversification and Franchises

For today's episode, we have on the show, Justin Sloan. Justin is a business-oriented and highly driven-entrepreneur who is passionate about investment and asset management. Justin ventured into the world of business at the age of 20 when he took every penny in his bank account and started his first cell phone retail store with himself as the only employee. After months of working every day from open to close, the business was able to hire the first employee and eventually grow into a large chain.  Justin is also the CEO of Sloan Capital https://www.sloan-capital.com/. Sloan Capital helps investors deploy capital into various asset classes. From real estate to venture, they position investments to where they believe the world is heading. The firm is a disciplined and forward-thinking collective creating opportunities in areas most don't know exist.  Tune in as Jason and Travis discuss the transition from hustling to being an entrepreneur, how to pivot to different investments and assets, and why it’s important to fractionally own different assets instead of just one class of asset when investing.
