From Chasing the Money to Pursuing the Mission with Travis McGilvary

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Travis McGilvary, Senior Director of Workforce Relations at Better Together, breaks down the real challenge behind the foster care crisis and how their work connects families to stability through jobs and community support across Florida. Travis shares a personal learning moment about “chasing the money rather than pursuing the mission,” and how that decision made him “the most miserable” he had been. That mission drift cost him clarity and joy, even while the paycheck was bigger. He explains how his path came “full circle,” and how his experience across multiple jobs prepared him to serve families through mission-driven work. Travis describes Better Together’s approach, including partnerships with churches, job fairs, second-chance opportunities, and moments like the “opportunity bell” that celebrates interviews, job offers, and restored hope. The episode emphasizes service-first leadership, being obedient in small moments, and the truth that you “cannot help everybody” and “cannot do it alone.” This conversation covers nonprofit leadership, workforce development, second-chance hiring, volunteering, and community impact in places like Tallahassee, Tampa, Fort Myers, and Miami, with stories that show how mission and relationships drive real outcomes.
