    CO-HOST | Make Money Without Falling for Predatory Tipping, Buy Now Pay Later, and Financial Manipulation
    Oct 21 2026
    In this episode, Travis Chappell is joined by producer Eric for an unfiltered conversation about money, consumer culture, and the ways businesses and organizations pressure people to spend. From a viral Shake Shack kiosk video that appears to raise prices when a customer declines to tip to the growing use of buy now, pay later services, Travis and Eric discuss where convenience crosses the line into manipulation. They also explore the ethics of religious fundraising, questionable claims of faith healing, and why transparency and accountability matter whenever money is involved. On this episode we talk about: How buy now, pay later services like Klarna and Affirm influence purchasing decisions, and why interest-free financing changes the equation. A viral Shake Shack kiosk video that appears to increase item prices after a customer declines to tip, sparking a debate about tipping culture and hidden costs. Why tipping should be about exceptional service rather than an automatic expectation at every checkout screen. The ethics of religious fundraising, including donation kiosks, financial pressure on congregations, and the potential harm of manipulative fundraising practices. Why extraordinary faith-healing claims deserve scrutiny, especially when vulnerable people facing serious illnesses may be led to expect miracles. Top 3 Takeaways Understand the true cost of borrowing. Before using a buy now, pay later service, consider whether you're paying interest or fees and whether the purchase fits your budget. Interest-free financing can be useful, but it shouldn't encourage spending money you don't have. Question fees and tipping expectations. Customers deserve transparent pricing. A tip should feel like a voluntary reward for good service, not an unexpected charge or a requirement imposed by a checkout system. Be skeptical when money and vulnerability intersect. Whether it's a business using confusing pricing or an organization soliciting donations through emotional appeals, take a closer look at where the money goes and whether the claims being made are supported. Notable Quotes "I just think that they existed for a reason and now they're like their own independent category of taxes." "If you start just giving it away for everything, then it then it becomes an entitlement thing instead of extra money for exceptional service thing." "Why aren't you going to every hospital and cancer ward and kids chemo place?"

  • INTERVIEW | Make Money by Leading Under Pressure: Andrea Petrone on Leadership Identity and Reinvention

    INTERVIEW | Make Money by Leading Under Pressure: Andrea Petrone on Leadership Identity and Reinvention
    Oct 21 2026
    Andrea Petrone is an executive coach who has spent more than two decades working with senior leaders at companies including Shell, Unilever, Takeda, EssilorLuxottica, and PwC. After coaching more than 250 CEOs and C-suite executives, he recognized a common challenge: leaders often lose touch with their identity when the pressure rises. In his new book, Reinvention at the Top: The Playbook for CEOs to Lead Under Pressure, Andrea introduces his “Through Line” methodology to help leaders define who they are, communicate what they stand for, and adapt their leadership style to changing circumstances. On this episode we talk about: How Andrea went from working in the oil and gas industry to becoming a CEO at just 35 years old. Why earning a higher salary and achieving career success don't necessarily translate into happiness or fulfillment. Why leaders struggle under pressure when they rely on the same leadership playbook in every situation. The dangers of command-and-control leadership and how it can lead to disengaged employees and poor organizational results. How Andrea turned years of executive coaching and daily writing into his book and a methodology designed to help leaders reinvent themselves. Top 3 Takeaways Your leadership style must evolve with your circumstances. The approach that helped you reach the top might not be the approach you need to succeed there. Recognize when your environment changes and adapt accordingly. Leading under pressure is a skill you can develop. Natural temperament and emotional control can help, but they don't guarantee success. Leaders must learn to recognize changing expectations, understand their impact, and adjust their behavior. Understand your identity before trying to change your performance. Effective leadership goes beyond learning communication techniques or running better meetings. It requires clarity about who you are, what you stand for, and what your organization needs from you. Notable Quotes "When the waters are calm, it's to some extent it's easy to lead." "They have one single playbook, that's their version of leadership and they apply every single time everywhere." "The point is having the methodology bringing to life because my perspective is there is no really conversation happening at that level. That the level of an introspection about your own identity, how to lead."

  • CO-HOST | Make Money Saving Consumers Millions by Making Subscriptions Easier to Cancel

    CO-HOST | Make Money Saving Consumers Millions by Making Subscriptions Easier to Cancel
    Oct 20 2026
    In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis and producer Eric sit down for a conversation about subscription fatigue, frustrating customer experiences, and a new policy in New York City designed to make canceling subscriptions easier. They discuss Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new click-to-cancel rule, share their own experiences trying to escape unwanted gym memberships and activity-tracking subscriptions, and explore why businesses that make it easy for customers to leave may actually be better positioned to earn their business again in the future. Along the way, they also talk about technology overload, the appeal of analog tools, and why sometimes simpler really is better. On this episode we talk about: New York City's click-to-cancel rule and how it aims to protect consumers from deceptive subscription practices Personal experiences with difficult cancellation processes at Planet Fitness and WHOOP Why forcing customers through surveys, retention offers, and unnecessary steps creates a poor customer experience How making subscriptions easy to cancel can build trust and increase the likelihood that customers return Subscription fatigue, technology overload, and the growing appeal of books, notebooks, journaling, and other analog alternatives Top 3 Takeaways Make it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up. If customers can subscribe with one click, they shouldn't have to navigate a maze of phone calls, surveys, and retention offers to leave. A straightforward cancellation process respects their time and autonomy. A frustrating customer experience can cost you future business. Making it difficult for customers to cancel may keep them paying temporarily, but it can leave them so frustrated that they refuse to return—even if they previously liked the product. Not every problem needs more technology. Subscriptions, apps, notifications, and connected devices can add unnecessary complexity. Sometimes simpler, more tactile alternatives like paper notebooks and journaling offer a welcome break from digital overload. Notable Quotes "No one should need 45 minutes of hold music to stop paying for something they never wanted." — Quoted by Eric from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's announcement "If a company can take your money with one click, you should be able to get your money back with one click." — Quoted by Eric from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's announcement "When I'm forced through all these hoops, I just go like, I'm never doing this again." — Travis, on frustrating subscription cancellation experiences Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: @travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.
