This OTC: After Hours Bonus Episode features Connor DeVries, financial advisor and featured member of Off The Clock.

Connor didn’t take a traditional path into finance. His background spans journalism, insurance investigation, and years of hands-on experience in the markets—each step shaping how he thinks about risk, decision-making, and responsibility when it comes to other people’s money.

In this conversation, Connor shares:

• How his early career exposed the real consequences of bad financial decisions
• Why he originally resisted becoming a financial advisor—and what changed
• What he learned from years of trading and studying the markets
• How he approaches working with clients today
• Why understanding people matters more than understanding products

This episode is not financial advice. It’s a closer look at how Connor thinks, how he works, and the experiences that shaped his approach.

Most businesses don’t fail because of bad ideas.
They fail because of bad hires, unclear roles, and broken culture.

In this episode of OTC: After Hours, Travis is joined by Alex Donnolo, Brandy Cree, Brian Horan, and Connor DeVries to break down what it actually takes to build a team that works.

From personality-based hiring and leadership blind spots to the hidden cost of “cheap” employees and micromanagement, this is a raw, honest conversation about what goes wrong inside growing businesses—and how to fix it.

We get into:

• Why clarity and trust make or break culture
• The real reason most teams underperform
• When to lead from the front vs. when to step back
• Hiring from the top down vs. the bottom up
• Why fear-based leadership quietly destroys teams

Unscripted. Unfiltered. Off the clock.

In this OTC After Hours Bonus Episode, Travis sits down with Coeur d’Alene financial professional Brian Horan for a deeper, more personal conversation focused on mindset, leadership, and the realities behind money.

Brian shares how early life experiences—including the loss of his father and seeing his family taken advantage of financially—shaped his mission to help others build security and avoid the same mistakes. What started as a search for personal understanding turned into a career built on education, relationships, and long-term impact.

This conversation goes beyond finance. It explores discipline, faith, failure, and what it actually takes to grow—both personally and professionally.

They cover:

• Why most people stay stuck financially (and how to change it)

• The connection between failure and long-term success

• Lessons from books like The Slight Edge, Failing Forward, and The 360° Leader

• Leadership at every level—not just at the top

• Building a team culture rooted in growth and ownership

• The shift that happens when you become a husband and father

• Why entrepreneurship isn’t freedom—it’s responsibility

Brian also breaks down a core idea that runs through everything he does:
simple daily disciplines, repeated over time, create long-term results.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain about money, or unclear on your next move, this episode is a grounded look at what it takes to move forward with intention.
