Coaching & Mentorship
If you’re interested in working together that’s great! I love to collaborate. Here are a few things I can help with:
Enable businesses and individuals to realize their potential through masterful storytelling. How you tell your story literally shapes the future that you manifest! I apply Emmy-award winning principles of story mechanics to realign core intentions (which appears in many forms) to unfold future possibilities. Telling the right story can function externally as brand alignment and/or internally as a driver of motivation & evolution to promote unimagined expression. I work with groups in workshops and one-on-one for personalized attention. During our sessions we explore the proven techniques I’ve used to capture the public’s attention with award-winning content, then apply this to re-orient you and/or your business toward your goals, intentions and the future.
Bring amazing stories to the world as an executive producer, director, and/or consultant.
Get people moving on the path to Financial Independence! I made a film about this to help spread financial literacy, which is all-important for a healthy, productive life. I have worked with small groups, non-profits. and professional organizations to improve financial literacy and promote best practices with money. I typically offer this as a multi-week group package and shape it for the audience at hand depending on background and need. The story of what we value is always a central component and, in my opinion, the key to financial mastery.
Client testimonials
"I was at a crossroads of where I wanted to go when I started working with Travis. In our work, he helped me understand the story narrative I had created for myself (that I have to do everything myself) and rework that premise. He pushed me to pay more attention to how help arrived and be more intuitive, which led me to get my first book deal. I finally feel like I'm on the right path while being open to what might come my way." — Jillian Johnsrud, author
For the majority of my adult life I have always been vigorously working towards achieving something bigger. Yet somehow, I always felt like I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my number to be called. My intention and drive were authentic but unfortunately my goals were not. I was, like so many others, chasing off-the-shelf dreams. I simply did not know there could be another way.
Enter Travis, who after only a handful of sessions, was able to expand my vision of my own creative potential. Travis helped me refocus my efforts towards a path that is uniquely aligned with my strengths and abilities and is (most importantly) being paved by me. I couldn’t be happier with the way I am working now. This new path is both comfortable and challenging while somehow being some of the most fun I've ever had working. I laugh all the time and I have been reacquainted with the visual artist in me that I thought I had lost a long time ago.
I am so grateful to Travis for reminding me that I can always call my own number. — Kelly Moore, Writer, Visual Artist and now… Graphic Novelist
Learning from Travis is what separates those with a camera and those who tell stories. I had been creating beautiful but boring videos for years and what I learned in just a few months opened a whole new world of story structure and how to approach story building that has allowed me to be a better creator. I highly recommend Travis for anyone who wants to take this art more seriously. — Alex Felice, investor & content creator
I am truly fortunate to have crossed paths with Travis, whose guidance has been nothing short of transformative in my life. During a period marked by uncertainty and challenges, Travis not only steered me towards the right direction but also infused my journey with hope and optimism. With an uncanny ability to think big and a heart just as vast, his brilliance shone through every piece of advice, turning daunting obstacles into stepping stones for growth. Travis's exceptional combination of authentic compassion, visionary insight, and mental agility in every discussion is truly motivational. It is rare to encounter someone so capable yet so devoted to uplifting others.I am deeply grateful for the profound and positive influence he has had on my life. — Taylor Rickens, VP Business Development
Story makes the magic happen!
I’ve spent the bulk of my adult life directly engaged with storytelling as it pertains to entertainment, and what I’ve learned along the way is that we are all engaged in story at all times—but how we tell that story becomes who we are and what we manifest. Consider Steve Jobs’ reorientation for Apple to “Think Different.” That story literally changed the world and turned Apple into one of the biggest companies ever known.
When I was producing reality television we used to joke that we were turning wild stallions into racehorses. And with all due respect to the amazing talents I’ve worked with along the way, this is to some degree true. That’s because masterful storytelling just doesn’t happen in a vacuum—and very few nascent talents become professional enterprises without structure. Anyone can tell a story (just ask your uncle Bob) but crafting a compelling narrative requires genuine skill.
I’ve literally trained hundreds of people to become master storytellers. The process I developed over 20 years is what allowed me, for instance, to send dozens of producers and photographers into the wilderness, hundreds of miles apart with little to no way to communicate with home base, and still create a cohesive, Emmy award-winning narratives like Life Below Zero (National Geographic).
Together will use that same process to uncover your story, shape it, and unleash it upon to world!
If any of these sound like something you’d like to dive deeper on, please send me a note to start the conversation!
