    If You Feel Stuck, It’s Probably Your Circle | Ep52

    If you feel stuck in business, marriage, or your personal growth… this episode is going to challenge you. Because the truth is simple: your community determines your trajectory. In this episode, we unpack what changed when we intentionally stepped into new rooms — paid masterminds, entrepreneurial circles, and faith-driven communities that pushed us beyond comfort. We talk about why community is not a social hobby but a strategic decision, how proximity compresses time, and why growth always creates tension. This conversation is for entrepreneurial couples building businesses together. For real estate investors navigating hard markets. For faith-driven operators trying to level up without sacrificing marriage or family. We discuss: Why paid rooms accelerate growth How to know when you’ve outgrown your circle Why not everyone will celebrate your growth How to build community instead of waiting for it Why your marriage needs aligned community too How to audit your inputs (podcasts, friends, social media) If you want a different life, you need different conversations. Subscribe, follow, and share this episode with another couple building something meaningful. And if this resonates, send us a DM — we’d love to hear what room you’re stepping into next.

    AI for Entrepreneurial Couples: Practical Use, Real Risks, Next Steps | Ep51

    If you’re treating AI like Google, you’re already behind. This episode is for entrepreneurial couples trying to lead a business, protect the marriage, and stay aligned as the world shifts fast. We break down what’s actually happening in the AI landscape right now and what it means for normal people, not tech bros. We cover the difference between tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then move into the real shift: AI agents that can do the work, not just talk about the work. You’ll hear practical ways we’re already using AI in real estate investing and short-term rentals, including guest communication, deal underwriting, and AI cold-calling that can set appointments. We also talk about “vibe coding” tools like Lovable and Basecamp that let non-coders build apps and workflows that used to cost five figures. Then we address the tension most couples feel but don’t say out loud: AI is going to change jobs, decision-making, and even the way families operate. The only mistake is pretending it’s not happening. We’ll give you a simple “now what” framework: time audit, automate two workflows, document one SOP, then monetize one advantage. Subscribe for weekly episodes on faith, business, leadership, and marriage. Share this with your spouse and pick one workflow to automate this week AI for entrepreneurs, AI agents, entrepreneurial couples, real estate investing systems, automations and SOPs, vibe coding, business productivity.

    5 Ways Entrepreneurial Couples Make Better Business Decisions | Ep 50

    Making business decisions as a married couple isn’t just hard—it can quietly create tension, resentment, and burnout if you don’t have a framework. In this episode of the Yoked Podcast, Travis and Ingrid break down five practical ways entrepreneurial couples can make decisions together without damaging their marriage, momentum, or mission. After 17 years of marriage and 15 years of building businesses side by side, they’ve learned that decision-making isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about staying aligned. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how they actually decide who owns what, when to move fast versus slow, and how to avoid emotional gridlock when stakes are high. You’ll hear how to: Decide who actually decides in different areas of the business Match decision speed to risk and permanence Understand the difference between having input and having authority Use filters instead of feelings when emotions run hot Stay aligned even when enthusiasm isn’t equal This episode is especially for entrepreneurial couples navigating real estate, investing, or service-based businesses, where decisions often carry financial, emotional, and relational weight. Whether you’re building together full-time or supporting each other from different lanes, these frameworks will help you move forward with clarity instead of conflict. 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, business, marriage, and decision-making. 👉 Share this episode with your spouse or business partner and talk through it together.

    Building a Purpose-Driven Coffee Shop in a Crowded Market | Ep 48

    What does it actually take to build a successful small business when the market is already crowded—and stay rooted in faith while doing it? In this episode, Travis sits down inside Boost Espresso with founder Jake Kraft, a Coeur d’Alene coffee shop owner who chose a different path: build something excellent, people-first, and unapologetically grounded in his values. Jake shares the real story behind launching a coffee shop in a highly saturated market, why Boost blends the drive-through energy drink culture with a sit-down coffee experience, and how intentional design, team culture, and consistency have fueled steady growth. You’ll hear how Jake’s faith influences his leadership without turning his business into a “Christian brand,” why handwritten affirmations on cups matter more than marketing gimmicks, and what it looks like to truly trust God with the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. This conversation is for entrepreneurial couples, small business owners, and faith-driven operators who want to build something meaningful without burning out, selling out, or compromising their values. We also dive into: Owning vs. leasing as a small business owner Hiring the right people and protecting culture Knowing your numbers without obsessing daily Scaling carefully without losing what makes your business special If you’re building a business, dreaming about starting one, or navigating faith and leadership together as a couple—this episode will hit home. 👉 Subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with someone building something that matters.

    Five Lessons That Changed How I Think About Business Growth

    Growth sounds exciting… until it costs you your ego, your comfort, and your old identity. In this episode, I’m breaking down five hard-earned lessons from a recent Owners Club immersion in Miami—lessons that every entrepreneur (and entrepreneurial couple) eventually has to face if they want real, sustainable growth. We talk about why ego quietly becomes your identity, how proximity to the right people instantly recalibrates what feels possible, and why durable businesses beat flashy wins every time. We also dig into the difference between learning and executing, the myth of doing everything alone, and why asking for help is often the very thing standing between you and your next level. This conversation is especially for couples where one or both partners are carrying the weight of leadership, risk, and responsibility—while trying to stay aligned in faith, marriage, and long-term vision. If you’ve felt imposter syndrome creeping in… If you’re building something that feels heavy but meaningful… If you know you’re called to more but aren’t sure how to move forward… This episode will meet you right where you are. Key themes include: • Entrepreneur mindset and identity shifts • Faith-driven business growth • Building durable, long-term businesses • Proximity, mentorship, and community • Execution over ideas • Asking for help without shame 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, business, and building a life you’re proud of. 👉 Follow along on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts for new episodes every week.

    The Yoked Framework: Aligning Faith, Work, and Life for 2026 | Ep 46

    Most people set goals for a new year. Few stop to ask whether they’re actually aligned. In this kickoff episode of Yoked, Travis and Ingrid reset the vision for 2026 by revisiting the core question behind everything they do: What are you yoked to—and is it helping or hurting you? Using the biblical and practical meaning of a yoke as a work tool, they walk through a powerful framework for evaluating goals across every area of life. This episode breaks down the six pillars they use for intentional alignment: personal growth, health and wellness, spirituality, relationships, career, and financial legacy. Instead of focusing only on outcomes, they focus on the tools, rhythms, boundaries, and people that make heavy loads lighter—and misalignment obvious. You’ll hear practical examples from their own lives, including parenting rhythms, marriage alignment, career transitions, time-based goal planning, and choosing a Word of the Year that actually shapes daily decisions. They also explore why Jesus’ words about His yoke being easy aren’t about removing work—but changing how we carry it. If you’re entering 2026 feeling hopeful but cautious, motivated but tired, or excited yet overwhelmed, this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and build a year rooted in alignment—not hustle. 👉 Subscribe to Yoked for weekly conversations on faith, entrepreneurship, marriage, and intentional living. 👉 Share this episode with someone who’s setting goals—but needs alignment first.
