I listen to FM on YouTube. A while ago, YouTube recommended Chris’s video featuring another points expert, making me a regular listener. After another episode, I thought my brother and I could probably nerd out with Chris if we were at a family gathering because our spouses are tired of us talking about points and deals, haha.
Chris’s podcast seems geared for the upper-middle-class folks, not because that was the goal but because saving money or time often needs money. For the most part, so is the points-and-miles game, which requires lots of spending, then paying off the credit card bills in full. But, if you’re going to deal with money orders or office supply stores because you can’t charge as much organically, you need the luxury of time.
Anyway, thanks for the crossover! This chat probably could’ve gone longer when everyone had so much to talk about.
I love that you guys are willing to try something new, and I think bringing on the occasional guest for coffee break episodes would be a great enhancement (and not in the Marriott “we’ve enhanced our program” kind of way). I’m afraid this particular interview guest/topic didn’t resonate with me – I think it was a bit too self-help/hustle culture geared for my liking – but I look forward to seeing what you might try next. I think it would be neat to see you have on other creators in the travel space or execs in the industry.
Agreed. I thought it was nice to have a guest. But maybe the whole life hacks topic doesn’t quite fit into 20 minutes or less – the guest of the episode has, after all, an entire podcast with hundreds of episodes. Condensing that into 20 mins seems futile.
+1 to all of Whitney’s comments. They encapsulated my feelings as well.
I need to find twenty minutes of time to replace the ones I guess wasted. Wow!
If I hear the word “hack” one more time I think I’m going to hack my lunch all over the floor. Let me know if this dude had anything useful to say after the six minute mark because the first six minutes were brutal.
If he’s going to talk about annual gift tax limits at the very least he could mention the lifetime gift tax exemption which currently stands at $13.6m. No offense to him but I was quite underwhelmed by the “hacks”.
Not very helpful hacks. Some hacks were ridiculous… hire an executive assistant lol., only 3,000 a month.
Seriously… a remote EA based in Sri Lanka for $3k a month? Sounds expensive. And not really an applicable hack for most of the audience, I would guess.
#1 Hack: Move out of US.
Hack #1:
Move OUT of California 😉
