His humble beginnings include 36 moves before graduating high school at 17, 12 schools, 6 states, 5 foster homes, surviving 2 murder attempts, and mother with type 1 bipolar disorder.

When Travis started the Nonprofit Architect Podcast, he had no established audience, no company structure, no vision, and no established brand name. Starting the show while deployed to the Kingdom of Bahrain, a small island in the Persian Gulf, he took the show to #4 in the US within three months of launching. Now his show is in the top ten in seven countries in his niche and top 5% of podcasters globally.

The Podcast Titan was created after writing the top selling Ultimate and Complete Podcast Guide. This guide combined the expertise from a top 5 US podcast, the methodologies from top shows, and researching multimedia outlets. In early 2022 this expertise was codified in the Ultimate Podcast Course, created in partnership with Synergy Leaning Institue. Podcast Titan is the only professional podcast with a course approved at the university level.
College credit can be earned directly at Forbes Knowledge Innovation Center and Belhaven University. Other university students can take the course online and have the credits transfered into their current institution. Those operating outside of college pursuits can take the course online.

Give Up the Struggle to Get What You Want
Give Up the Struggle to Get What You Want Travis Johnson, a naval officer based in Oklahoma, joined me to share how to give up the struggle in life to get what you want. What does he mean? When you’re efforting – the hustle and grind mentality of trying to make something happen, you’re creating self imposed struggle. Instead, surrender your plan and be guided. BTFA – Beliefs Thoughts Feelings Action Your beliefs are created from repetitive thoughts. These beliefs create your feelings and emotions and ultimately lead to the action – or inaction that you take. If you’re currently struggling at work, in business, with your finances, health, relationships or any other area of life, trace it back to your thoughts. You get to choose what you accept, and what you reject. Give up your agenda Hint, all struggle is self imposed. If you want to change the trajectory of your life – you have to realize that maybe, just maybe you don’t know everything. As Travis shares, he gave up his agenda in business and what he was trying to push in order to be led. He’s created a podcasting course and all of the resources have been brought to him – because he let go of the need to control.
