Travis Chappell has recorded over 1,400 podcast episodes, sold his company Guest.io, and built a thriving personal brand—but his journey started with slammed doors, guns behind screens, and learning to handle rejection at scale.In this conversation, we dig into:• How door-to-door sales became the foundation for everything he built• The moment he left his fundamentalist religious upbringing to find his own path• Why he launched two separate podcasts (and when you should split your content)• The real relationship between personal branding and business success• What actually works in podcasting after 1,400+ episodes• Why introverts might have a superpower in sales (and life)• Building community vs. building audience—and why it mattersThis isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation about finding yourself, handling failure, making payroll when you’re terrified, and building something meaningful on your own terms.If you’ve ever felt stuck between who your parents want you to be and who you actually are, or if you’re trying to figure out how to turn rejection into resilience—this one’s for you.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro: Big dreams and taking swings3:45 - The Mexican American baseball league story8:29 - How door-to-door sales changed everything16:49 - Getting guns pulled, doors slammed, and learning resilience21:45 - Leaving the fundamentalist church27:16 - Starting a podcast: the authentic approach35:38 - Elder millennials getting back into skateboarding (and life)42:08 - The mirror moment: choosing your own path over your parents’ expectations48:32 - Self-development and learning outside of school52:28 - Personal branding in the age of AI56:54 - Rock stacking communities and niche content59:09 - What Travis is building nextCONNECT WITH TRAVIS:🎙️ Podcasts: Travis Makes Friends & Travis Makes Money💻 Podcast Coaching: travischappell.com/coaching📺 YouTube: @TravisChappellPodcastConnect with Me! 👋Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Airventurehostingco Website: https://therealjessevasquez.com/
