Trav’s work focuses on helping people move from passive living to intentional living. Many people spend years reacting to circumstances instead of consciously designing the life they want.

The discussion also explores the growing issue of employee disengagement, why so many people feel disconnected from their work, and how intentional goal-setting can create real change in both personal and professional life.
At the center of the conversation is a simple but powerful question:
