In this episode, we kick things off by catching up after summer break and celebrating the big win—the kids are back in school! 🎉 Robert asks Travis if he’s marking the occasion, and Travis shares why August has been a month full of reasons to celebrate.


We talk:

🛒 Costco trips that feel like international travel prep

🛍️ What kind of shopper are you—peruser or planner? (Take your guess for us!)

🥣 Our obsession with Trader Joe’s corn flakes, chocolate & a poll on their black sesame mochi


Then, we dive into the big topic of the day: How has your identity shifted through different chapters of life?

Robert reflects on three defining seasons:

1️⃣ High school

2️⃣ His 20s-30s as an entrepreneur (pre-kids)

3️⃣ Fatherhood today


Travis shares the experiences and influences that have shaped who he is now.


Join the conversation in the comments—how has your identity evolved over the years?
