In the latest episode of Call the Damn Leads, I had the chance to sit down with Travis Wells, and let me tell you, this conversation is packed with real, actionable insights.

Embracing Creativity in Business

Right off the bat, I talk about my love for the sales industry—there’s just something about the variety of people and stories that keeps me hooked. And Travis? Well, his story is no different. He’s faced some serious health challenges, but that didn’t stop him from building a successful real estate business.

In fact, one of the most creative deals I’ve ever heard about came from Travis. He’s working with a woman on the edge of foreclosure, not just helping her sell her home, but also talking about partnering with her on a car wash business. That’s next-level thinking!

The Secret Weapon: Transparency

What really sets Travis apart is his ability to create win-win scenarios. I mean, sure, a lot of real estate investors are focused on making the most profit possible, but Travis? He’s all about finding solutions where everyone benefits. From mobile home parks to unconventional real estate projects, he’s built an empire by thinking outside the box and being 100% transparent.

Growing up around lower-end properties with his grandfather taught him how to spot opportunity where others might not see it. And the way he shifted from corporate sales—where he sold over $60 million in oil and gas without a formal education—to going all-in on real estate is nothing short of inspiring.

Insights for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

If you’re someone who’s considering taking a leap into entrepreneurship or sales, this episode is for you. Whether it's leaving the comfort of a corporate job, structuring creative deals, or just learning how to be more transparent in your approach, Travis’s story is full of wisdom. Don’t miss out on this one—it’s packed with tips and lessons that could change the way you see opportunity.

That Spring while helping with a home renovation, a structure collapsed on top of him, and a support beam impaled him through the left side of his chest. One moment, he was a young, active, and carefree guy, the next he was struggling to breathe as both of his lungs were collapsed. 

​After emergency surgery, and what some may call a miracle, Travis survived the accident. But not without a long road of recovery ahead, and a new outlook on life. 

​“That moment in my life so many things changed. Not only my body, but I had a new appreciation for so many things in life, but most importantly, my health.” - Travis 

​After Losing part of his left pectoral muscle in the accident, gaining muscle became a challenge. 

​“Since I can’t build muscle in the lower region of my left pectoral, I’ve had to adapt most of my chest workouts. I also obtained a spinal injury due to the accident, but I have learned with proper movement that I can still achieve my gains and my fitness goals. ”

Over the years, Travis has adapted his workout routines to accomplished his fitness goals, and in doing so, his journey through fitness has given him knowledge that he now hopes to share with others. ​Always striving to be the best and healthiest version of himself, in 2017 Travis decided to adopt a Vegan diet and lifestyle.

​“It was the best decision I could have ever made for my health. I healed digestive issues that I had in the past, improved my overall energy, and gain mental clarity that I never seemed to h
