It Must Be Nice

About this episode

Travis Howze discusses the disparity between public perception and personal reality, the pitfalls of fall-back plans, and the impact of generational trauma on success.

In this episode I talk about the optics of life and what people see vs what they dont know. I also talk about why having a fall-back plan is not always the best solution to success. I further discuss being around people that want to see you fail vs succeed and how so many people want to take shortcuts through the very trail that others have blazed vs carving out their own path to success. I go on to explain families experiencing generational trauma and how you're only important to some people...
