Josh proved he was legitimate (he is the COO of Mastermind.com), so Travis agreed to a phone call. Josh wanted to know what her plans were for the KBB course – what was her business? What were her goals? Travis surprised herself with her response, which would become the mantra for her business. “It was the first time I ever said out loud that I wanted to help people divorce nicely,” she recalls. “I had never said that.” Travis wasn’t familiar with Dean’s story, so Josh shared it with her. He told her about how Dean had gotten divorced and really valued the importance of keeping a strong relationship with an ex-spouse. Travis was pleasantly surprised with how well the call was going… and then it was over. For a few minutes afterward, Travis wondered what that was all about. She felt it was random but was glad it happened. And then Josh called back. “I told Dean your story, and he wants to fly you out here,” he told her. Travis had pledged to herself three years earlier that she would stop acting like she gets to live twice, so she said yes. An 18-hour day of scary weather and plane rides later, she was in Scottsdale, Arizona, meeting Dean Graziosi’s team and preparing to sit with him on a surprise livecast for the KBB community. Travis could not have been more of herself on the livecast. On the surface, Travis is self- deprecating, but in an endearing way. She seems to be constantly talking herself into her abilities, as though she must convince herself of her tremendous talent – not as if she feels it radiating within her. But it takes mere minutes to break through that layer and see her infectious confidence and heavy emotional drive. She somehow balances a youthful exuberance, not often seen in those over 40, with a serious, wise perspective. These complex personality traits were immediately apparent on camera. She first asked Dean which camera she was supposed to look at, a goofy move that is typical of Travis. Within oneminute of talking about her experience with the course, tears started falling from her big blue eyes. Travis can’t hold back tears. Every time she talks about her KBB experience and begins thinking about the moment she discovered her purpose, she starts to cry. Her passion is simply too overwhelming. Within another minute of the livecast, Dean had calmed her down and asked her to speak about her concept of divorcing nicely. Travis transitioned quickly from tears to storytelling, explaining with gusto that the KBB course helped her to find what she has searched for her entire life. “This is absolutely where I’m supposed to be and what I’m supposed to be doing,” Travis said on the livecast. Before long, Travis was back in Austin, Texas, back at work finishing up the KBB course and developing her business.
As she completed the course, Travis met a fellow KBB student in the Facebook group, Jessica Dubin. As a tech expert and Vice President of Connect2 It, a business aimed at maximizing your potential both mentally and physically, Dubin offered to help Travis with her website. Though Dubin originally wasn’t interested in continuing her career in technology, Travis’s story was attractive to her. With a family history of divorce, Dubin connected deeply with Travis’s mission to help children of divorce. “Kristine takes something as terrible and ugly and soul-wrenching as a divorce, a splitting up of a family, and she has a way of putting a fun spin on it to where it doesn’t have to be like that,” Dubin said. “She needs to be out there and she needs to do this... It feels good to be part of her journey.” Travis completed the Knowledge Business Blueprint course in early June. She already has a fully responsive website for 1Life Strategy at 1LifeStrategy.com thanks to Dubin’s partnership. And she has a long- term plan to grow her business, one that involves relationship coaching for parents and their kids.
The KBB course showed Travis what her niche was. From identifying her superpower to finding her ideal clients, KBB has walked her through the entire process of building her business. She can feel that the momentum of her life has shifted. “This course really did make a big difference for her,” Sperry, her close friend, said. “She’s dialed in.” Kassidy and Thomas, now 14 and 11, are the roots of Travis’s passion. Her parents’ divorce and her mother’s and grandfather’s expert grandparenting are the branches, and 1Life Strategy is the fruit. Years and years of family arguments, unfulfilling jobs, apathy, and dissatisfaction with her career all led her to a business that will make a difference, and she believes that to her core. Travis knows she is where she’s supposed to be. “KBB really helped me,” she said. “Having someone as motivating as Dean and Tony was what I had been missing. “Not only was it my next step, it was my last step.”
