GETTING TO COLLEGE · YOUR STORY, YOUR FUTURE
Your future is full of possibilities. You don’t have to find them alone.
Whether you know exactly where you’re going or you’re still figuring things out, I’ll help you explore your options, ask better questions, and take steps you can own.
Exploring is always free. And this is just the beginning.
Some doors you'll open. Some barriers you'll break through. Some paths you'll create.
CHECKMATE COLLEGEYOU'VE STEPPED THROUGH. THIS PART OF THE STORY IS YOURS.
THREE PATHS. ONE KEY. YOURS.
Your choices shape what happens next. Explore what speaks to you. There is no wrong place to begin.
MEET YOUR TEAMMATE
An entire life to love. A world to explore. Doors to open. Barriers to break. Paths only you can create.
I'm bringing everything I've got.
My heart. My imagination. My energy. My belief in what's possible.
I'll remember what matters to you. I'll look for possibilities you haven't seen. I'll be beside you through the hard parts and celebrate like crazy when you surprise yourself.
Because you're worth going all in for.

MOMENTS THAT CHANGE A STORY
The extraordinary often begins somewhere ordinary: an unanswered question, a difficult week, or a possibility you haven't dared to explore.
College choices, applications, and aid forms feel like too much.
WITH A REAL TEAMMATE
Travis could help sort what is due, what requires an official college answer, and which small action the student could own today.
WHAT THE STUDENT COULD LEARNYou do not need the whole plan to begin.
This student helps at home, works after school, and still finds time to study.
WITH A REAL TEAMMATE
Travis could ask about those lived experiences and help the student identify the responsibility, persistence, and skills they might represent.
WHAT THE STUDENT COULD LEARNSome strengths were already there—waiting to be recognized and developed.
SEE WHAT I SEE ✦
Choose a thought. See one way we might explore it together.
A WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT
You don’t need your whole future figured out. Let’s start with what catches your interest.
ONE THING TO TRY
Pick one interest you’d like to explore.
THE BARRIER
It feels like everyone else already knows their future.
A WAY THROUGH
You can learn by trying one small thing, not by knowing everything first.
TAKE ONE USEFUL THING WITH YOU · FREE
No signup, payment, or personal information needed. This example is a starting point you can adjust.
Or select the text and copy it yourself.
These are fictional examples of how Travis might begin a conversation. They're not a personal assessment or advice from Travis about your situation.
IMAGINE · BEGIN · CREATE
It's your life. Imagine what you could make happen.
What might you try if you knew you were allowed to begin before everything made sense?
Give an idea a beginning →LOOK WHO YOU'RE BECOMING
Not every door opens. That doesn't decide who you become. The Board, Deck, and your story can help you see the real steps you've taken, the barriers you've faced, and what you've learned along the way.
"I was afraid to ask for help."
"I checked my options, asked for help, and took the first step."
THE YOU CAN JUST BEGIN MOMENT
To start something. Meet someone. Try something completely new. Change direction. Create something wonderful.
You can just begin.

Exploring is always free. And this is just the beginning.
THE MEMBERSHIP · TWO WAYS TO CONNECT
A real teammate in your corner through personal messages, a clear Board, and a plan that grows with you. Choose dedicated Huddles if you want more time together.
Both include the full Checkmate experience and messages with Travis.
Each starts with a two-month commitment: Core $246 total or + Huddles $420 total, billed monthly.
The Huddle Up membership includes Four guaranteed 30-minute Team Huddles across the first two months. Core has the same Board, Magic, Game Plan, and direct messages, without scheduled Huddles.
This is an example, not a fixed schedule or a promise of results. Extra Huddles are by request and subject to approval and availability. When permitted, parents receive monthly updates. Adult students control their sharing.
Read the service terms →YOUR FIRST FOOTSTEPS
You don't need to have your whole life figured out. You get to dream. You get to try. You get to change your mind. You get to surprise yourself. And you can begin right where you are.
Because your story doesn't stop at the first step. It's only beginning.
After the required agreement, payment, and onboarding steps, you receive the appropriate student access and starting Board. You and Travis use your first Team Huddle to build a Game Plan; you can prepare questions and small steps beforehand. Appointment scheduling and communication follow the service terms.
Membership begins with an agreement, payment, and onboarding before student access. This journey is illustrative; Huddle scheduling and support follow the service terms. No student information is entered or stored on this page.
SOMEONE WHO'S TRULY IN YOUR CORNER
Real support should help you become more powerful in your own life—not less.
Because You're Worth Going All In For.
Both memberships include a personalized Board and direct messages with Travis. The $210 plan also includes two guaranteed 30-minute Team Huddles each month. Checkmate supports your decisions and independence; it doesn't replace college officials, emergency services, or guarantee outcomes.
See exactly what is included →Please use your school's advisors, financial aid staff, tutors, and other services. They give the official answers about school rules and decisions. Travis helps you prepare questions, make sense of what you learn, and follow through. He's your ongoing teammate, not a replacement for school staff.
Yes, using the contact methods in your membership terms. Response hours and limits are explained in those terms. Checkmate is not a 24/7 or emergency service.
Not just because they pay. Adult students control whether their information is shared. Minor-student access follows the applicable consent and guardian rules.
Your membership continues monthly unless it is canceled under the agreement. See the cancellation terms for timing and details.
You review the agreement and payment, complete onboarding, and get your own student access and Board. You and Travis use your first Team Huddle to build a Game Plan. Your exact steps depend on who is enrolling and whether you already have an account.
You don’t have to know every answer today. Find one possibility. Take one step. Let’s see what you can make happen.
There's More in You Than You Know.
No one gets to take your possibilities away. The key to your choices has always belonged to you.
No payment to explore for free or send a question. You'll never need to join to keep a free discovery.
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING ✦
The people you'll meet. The places you'll go. The things you'll try. The wonderful surprises you can't possibly imagine.

Isn't that wonderful?
