How does the speed at which you want to accomplish your goals affect your decisions?
Building the triangle of freedom and the goals and decisions that need to be made are all directly influenced by how quickly you need to become fully location independent. Being familiar with your timeline from the start can be so beneficial that it allows you to go at a pace that sets you up for success from the beginning instead of just turning your wheels without a clear goal.

There is a lot of discussion about morning routines with some living by theirs and others hating the restrictive qualities of them but is there a middle ground?
Building routines in your life can be a massive help in becoming a more effective person in both your business and personal life but does structure/routine mean there is no wiggle room for fun?
Today we are diving into whether a morning routine is BS or effective. While structure is important, it doesn't mean that you have to live the same day over and over and call it a life. Trav talks about a specific rule he uses in life to allow for both routine and spontaneity to live in harmony while still achieving his goals and crushing his workload. Jason is all about habits and creating awareness around what you do and don't do and how that affects your overall day.
So are you on team morning routines are BS or do you see the effectiveness of them? Take a listen to see what side wins!
How do you feel about your morning routine? Will you be making any changes based on this conversation? Let us know over on Instagram @LocationIndie.

How do you handle negative reviews?
When you put yourself out there you will eventually get a bad review (or two or three) but how you take in the information will dictate the overall outcome. You can't let it beat you down but can those reviews sometimes be catalysts to new ideas and changes...Absolutely.
Today we are diving into how we process negative reviews, steps to take to gleam any constructive criticism out of them, and how putting yourself in their shoes can make all the difference in how you feel about the review.

While Trav has never seen Frozen in its entirety he has seen hours of random parts of it, Jason went to see Frozen On Ice with his daughter so they are experts in everything about "let(ting) it go" :P Queue the music...sorry if it is now stuck in your head.
Today's episode is all about letting go of things you may enjoy or give you value, the difficulties behind it, why it is important, and how it can help you move forward towards your goals. A lot of times it is way harder to let something go than it is to create something new so let's dive into why that is and the importance behind it all.
Are you filling your plate up with too many to-do's? When was the last time you asked yourself 'What can I let go of?' so that you are able to comfortably move forward into the life you are wanting?

This is a great question that can be a great debate starter so let's start a debate. Trav & Jason have two very different viewpoints on whether being passionate about something actually matters when it comes to long-term business and life decisions. Does passion propel you forward or can it stop you in your tracks? Can being passionate about a topic lead to making different decisions in all aspects of life or does the idea of having or not having "passion" weigh you down. Does the difference lie in the definitions of passion & inspiration?
This is where the debate begins so listen to see which side wins out or maybe they are both correct, you decide! Who's side do you land on or are you riding the fence? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

Do you know exactly what your dream average day would look like? Have you ever taken the time to sit down and write it out in detail?
Our coach, Stan The Man, gave us this exercise and since we have done it (& taught it) in the past, we thought this would be easy...it wasn't, and here is why.
- It had to be handwritten
- In narrative form from the moment you awake to the moment you fall asleep
- Highly detailed & specific
- Must be focused on the experience of the day (what are you seeing) and how it feels (emotions)
- If someone else were to read it, they had to be able to picture it in their heads like a movie
We gained massive insights from this exercise that will affect all of our future decisions in business and life and we know it can do the same for you hence this podcast episode.
