The Tension
We all feel it—the tension that comes with change, growth, and big decisions. It’s the space between where we are and where we want to be.
These tensions aren’t just challenges to overcome; they’re shaped by conscious and unconscious decisions that rarely have clear right or wrong answers. In each episode, we explore topics of leadership, business, family, and life, unpacking the push and pull between how things are and how they could be.

The Tension of Plans vs. Reality
What happens when your perfectly laid plans unravel? In this episode of The Tension, Travis sits down with Chase Bertrand—husband, father, and top financial advisor—to explore the lifelong challenge of navigating the gap between what we hope for and what actually unfolds.

Whether you’re facing career uncertainty, relational curveballs, or just feeling stuck in the “in-between,” this episode is a masterclass in resilience—and how the next best step might just be the one that changes everything.
