Welcome to The Strive For Good Life Podcast with your host, Nino Pingera.
In this episode, Travis Holzem shares how he went from broke single dad to building a thriving brand around permaculture and food forest design—without investors, without paid ads, and without giving up.
You’ll hear:
How Travis launched his first business with $4,000 in loose change
What it really takes to bootstrap a business from scratch
The power of YouTube and content marketing when you're low on budget
How he pivoted after being cut out of the company he helped build
And how he's now turning his hard-won expertise into a nationwide training program
This is an episode about resilience, marketing on a shoestring, and building a brand around purpose. If you’re starting or growing your own online business—this one’s for you.
