About this episode
Episode Description:
This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, author, travel expert, and founder of The Points Guy, Brian Kelly!

Brian started The Points Guy as a humble blog while working as an IT recruiter for Morgan Stanley, where he shared his thoughts and insights on maximizing credit card rewards and frequent flyer miles. Over the years, The Points Guy has grown into the leading voice in loyalty programs. Brian has transformed The Points Guy into a powerhouse travel and lifestyle media platform, now reaching millions of people around the world each month.

In this episode, Brian shares the inspiration behind his new book, How to Win at Travel, and dives into a wide range of travel tips and strategies. He discusses why travel is becoming more expensive, what common mistakes people make when planning their trips, and how to navigate the complexities of booking and using frequent flyer miles. Brian also explores the role of travel advisors, how they make their money, and why it's important to know when and how to book travel insurance. Additionally, he explains how starting your journey abroad can save you money, why kindness matters when dealing with airline agents, and practical advice for what to do if you get bumped from your flight. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights for making the most of your travels.

Brian  reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
