Make Money with 18 Startups | Igor Vainshtein 40:11

10 hours ago40:11

40:11

Igor Vainshtein is a serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of GolfTrak.app and Entrepreneurpoly. Born in the USSR and raised in Australia after his family immigrated with just $200, Igor’s journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and relentless innovation. With over 20 business ventures—most of them failures—he’s built, lost, and rebuilt his fortune, ultimately selling his golf simulator company to GOLFTEC and pioneering new ways to gamify entrepreneurship. Igor’s raw honesty about the peaks and valleys of business, combined with his passion for teaching real-world entrepreneurial skills, makes him a truly unique and inspiring guest. On this episode we talk about: The reality behind “overnight success” and why most wins are built on a mountain of failures. How Igor rebounded from 18 failed startups to build a multi-million dollar business. The myth of passive income and what really happened when he chased it. Spotting and recovering from toxic business partnerships. Why financial literacy and cash flow management are non-negotiable for entrepreneurs. How gamification and his board game Entrepreneurpoly teach the hard truths of business. The immigrant mindset, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms. Top 3 Takeaways Embrace Failure as Training, Not Defeat: Igor’s story proves that repeated failure is not the end—it’s the foundation for future success. Every setback taught him critical lessons that fueled his eventual wins. Cash Flow is King: No matter how innovative your idea, mastering cash flow and financial literacy is essential for survival and growth in business. Build Real Skills, Not Just Hype: Sales, resilience, and the ability to pivot are more valuable than chasing trends or passive income dreams. Focus on developing skills that stand the test of time. Notable Quotes “You just don’t know. There’s a phrase: ‘It’s gonna be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, it’s not the end.’” “I wouldn’t change a thing because all those little sliding doors moments are why I’m here today.” “If you don’t have the basics—if you don’t have financial literacy—you ain’t going to be doing much willing and dealing. You’re going to be broke.” Connect with Igor Vainshtein: linkedin.com/in/igorvainshtein https://x.com/TheIgor https://www.instagram.com/theigorv/ https://igorvainshtein.com/ entrepreneuropoly.com 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Cody Sperber, widely known as the "Clever Investor," joins Travis for a candid conversation about wealth, reinvention, and the real truths behind entrepreneurship. As a self-made multi-millionaire, Cody built his reputation in real estate, flipping thousands of homes and creating a massive education business. Now, he’s shaking up the “boring” world of home services with his latest venture, Floor Daddy.

Investing in mentorship and assembling the right team is a shortcut to scaling and avoiding expensive mistakes. 3. True wealth and business success come from alignment—personal healing, strong relationships, and leading with authenticity. Notable Quotes – "I wanted to create a flooring business where it's like a Cybertruck had sex with Airbnb—a little bit of tech, something cool, cutting edge, and make it really loud and obnoxious. That's where Floor Daddy was born." – "Money loves speed. I want to go fast. My vision with Floor Daddy is how do I scale this thing and get a $500 million exit." – "You cannot give what you do not have. I couldn't give unconditional love to my family or my team if I didn't unconditionally love myself."

Make Money with Credit Card Points and Travel Miles | Julia Menez 38:54

Julia Menez is a travel hacking expert, educator, and founder of GeoBreeze Travel. With a background as an actuary, Julia brings a unique analytical approach to maximizing credit card points and airline miles for luxury travel. She’s dedicated her career to teaching entrepreneurs and high-income professionals how to leverage everyday expenses for free flights, hotel stays, and elite perks. Julia’s practical, no-nonsense style and deep industry knowledge make her a standout in the world of points and miles. On this episode we talk about: Julia’s journey from actuary to full-time travel hacking entrepreneur The basics of travel hacking and who should (and shouldn’t) play the points game How to choose the right credit cards based on your spending habits and business needs The potential pitfalls and risks of chasing points, and how to avoid them Real-life examples of maximizing points for luxury travel and upgrades Top 3 Takeaways Travel hacking isn’t for everyone: If you can’t pay off your credit cards in full each month, the interest will wipe out any rewards. Discipline is key. Optimize for simplicity: For business owners with predictable expenses, focus on a simple card strategy that matches your spending profile rather than juggling dozens of cards. Leverage business expenses: If you’re an entrepreneur, running recurring or high-volume expenses through the right cards can yield significant travel rewards—without extra spending. Notable Quotes "If you have to carry a balance, any interest that you have to pay is going to negate the value that you're getting out of your points." "Real money before points money." "The internet is an illusion, and what's actually happening is most people just don't have the financial discipline to handle this."

He is the co-founder of Garrison Growth, a firm dedicated to helping organizations—from startups to major corporations—unlock the full potential of their teams. Dave recently authored The Buy-In Advantage, a book focused on inspiring employees to care deeply and perform at their best. His unique blend of high-level strategic insight and hands-on leadership experience makes him a compelling voice on building successful, people-driven businesses. On this episode we talk about: Dave’s first money-making experience as a newspaper delivery boy and the lessons it taught him about persistence and cash flow. The value of early, high-volume, people-facing jobs in developing communication and life skills. How parenting styles and financial education at home shape children’s future relationship with money. Dave’s unconventional career path, including his decision to take a sales job after earning an MBA from Harvard, and what he learned from both experiences. The mindset shift from “having the answers” to “asking the right questions” as a leader, and why this is crucial for organizational buy-in and growth. How generational differences (especially Gen Z) and post-pandemic shifts are changing what employees want from work—and what leaders must do to adapt. Practical frameworks from The Buy-In Advantage for drama-free problem solving and building collective genius within teams. Top 3 Takeaways The best leaders don’t just give answers—they ask better questions to develop decision-making muscles in their teams, fostering buy-in and long-term growth.

Creating a culture where everyone’s input is valued leads to smarter decisions and greater results than any one leader could achieve alone. Notable Quotes “Managers tell and leaders listen. One of the myths of leadership is thinking we have the answer, when in fact our job is to prepare people for change by helping them think.” “All of us are smarter than any of us. That’s how you get the best thinking—by including everyone in the process.” “If time and money were unlimited, what would your ideal life look like? My joy—and my success—comes from helping others achieve results they didn’t think were possible.” Connect with Dave Garrison: https://garrisongrowth.com/ Book: The Buy-In Advantage (available wherever books are sold) 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Make Money with Multifamily and Private Equity | Bronson Hill 29:48

12 days ago29:48

29:48

Bronson Hill is a leading expert in passive income and wealth psychology, known for his ability to break down the habits and strategies of the ultra-wealthy. As the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity and host of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson has interviewed over 2,500 millionaires, uncovering the mindsets and investment tactics that separate everyday earners from those who achieve true financial freedom. A former medical sales professional, Bronson walked away from a high-paying career to pursue passive income, scaling his wealth 20X in just a few years. He’s a general partner in 2,500 multifamily units worth over $250M and has personally raised over $45M for real estate and private equity deals. Bronson’s unique perspective comes from both his humble beginnings and his relentless focus on mindset, making him a sought-after keynote speaker and author. On this episode we talk about: – The mindset shift that helped Bronson 20X his net worth – Lessons from interviewing over 2,500 millionaires – Why “wealth-worthiness” is the hidden key to financial success – How the ultra-wealthy invest differently (and why “alternative assets” aren’t so alternative) – Actionable strategies to build confidence and take your first steps toward passive income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Mindset is everything: The right psychology and self-talk are foundational to building wealth. Most people stay broke because they never develop a sense of “wealth-worthiness”—the belief that they deserve and are capable of financial success. 2. Surround yourself with the right people: Who you spend time with determines your financial future. Learning from mentors and modeling the habits of successful investors can accelerate your growth. 3. Take action despite fear: Confidence isn’t about being fearless—it’s about acting in the face of fear. Start small, celebrate wins, and use setbacks as data for growth. Notable Quotes “Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Small wins, big lessons, and relentless action—love this breakdown.” “Make yourself valuable to valuable people.” “Being wealthy is not about having money or not having money. It’s the habits and the person you become.” Connect with Bronson Hill: BronsonEquity.com Instagram: @bronsondavidhill Mailbox Money Show: Available on all major podcast platforms 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.
