Episode notes
Today’s episode is a cautionary tale about the American Dream—the nice house, the new cars, the stylish wardrobes, the exotic trips, and all the other trappings that accompany it. Having nice things is extremely cool…..and so much fun! However, for many Americans, the pursuit of this materialistic lifestyle is literally robbing them of their best life. Yeah, the stuff is enjoyable, but at what cost? The cost to many is a meaningful and fulfilling life that could have been. In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton shares an all-too-familiar story about a family dancing around this tension. It’s absolutely a topic worth discussing head-on!
