I can’t stand paying full price for travel.
And if you’re an entrepreneur, you shouldn’t either.

You’re working hard.
Scaling your business.
Stacking expenses on ads, software, travel, team dinners, gear, and who knows what else.

So why are you still booking last minute flights in economy, overpaying for hotels, and wasting your points?

Most people are doing it wrong.
They redeem points for cash back, gift cards, or “free” flights that still feel like punishment.

But savvy travelers?
They’re booking first class flights for $5.60.
Staying at five star resorts that would normally cost $800+ a night.
And doing it all with points they earned just by running their business.

That’s where I come in.

I teach entrepreneurs how to turn their everyday spend into luxury travel.
Without overspending. Without guessing. Without wasting time.

I’ve booked 2 week honeymoons in Japan, business class to New Zealand, and boutique hotels in the South Pacific all on points.

I’ve spent years mastering how to earn and redeem points the right way and now I share it all inside my newsletter.

Because let’s be real:

The real magic isn’t on LinkedIn. It’s in the newsletter.
That’s where I break down the actual strategies.
The booking walkthroughs.
The secret transfer sweet spots.
The deal alerts that make people say “HOW did you book that!?”

If you want to stop flying in the back of the plane and start traveling like you deserve
Come hang out in my world.

Super cool getting to meet Chandler Bolt at the New Media Summit.
I've been watching his content while working on my book & got to give him a copy!

Earlier this year Flo flew down to Austin for an AI workshop and showed me something I couldn’t talk about.
Until today

Lindy just released their Lindy Assistant and the preview I saw was crazy and hard to put into words.

Because it wasn’t just an AI that chats.

It could and was doing things.

Within a couple of text, you can have an assistant that.
Handles your emails and follow ups.
Preps you with briefs before meetings.
Recaps meetings and tracks action items.
Works across your apps, doing tasks once you connect them.

And the part that stuck with me the most was.

It’s designed to live where you already are, in your text messages.

Not another dashboard in front of your computer.

Since seeing it, I haven’t been able to shake the bigger implication.

We’re close to a world where everyone has an assistant in their pocket 24/7

The advantage won’t be who works harder.

It’ll be who delegates better.

Congrats to Flo and the Lindy team on the launch. 

If you’re drowning in inbox, admin, follow ups, this is worth a look.

Here's how to get a $10,000+ business class flight for 90% off.
And you won't need to start off with any points/miles.

Qatar Airways just launched a flash sale that lets you book the #1 rated business class in the world for a lot less than you think.

Normally, a flight like this could be booked with points for 70,000

But right now you don't need to have any Avios points to book that flight 

They are having a sale where you can buy points with a 50% bonus.

This means that you could but 72,000 Avios for just over $1,100.

Then book the flight using those Avios you just bout and save yourself $9,000.

But if you go to Qatars website you'll see that a lot of their business class flights cost 140,000 Avios.

You'd still save money if you booked those.

But it's way better if you can snag one for 70,000 instead and hears how.

You'll head to Seats.aero.

Click on their Q suite finder tab.

And you'll see all the current business class flights with available award space.

From their filter for the ones that are 70,000 Avios.

Head back over to the Qatar website to verify that they are there.

Book and save. 

Save this to never book a flight for full price again.

Save 90% on $10,000 flight

If you're not looking for business class flights this way you're hoping for luck. Here's how to book business class to Europe on JetBlue for as low as $5 in taxes/fees. 

Mint long haul runs mostly out of Boston and JFK, and you can route it into places like Dublin, London, Amsterdam, or Paris.

The same Mint seats can be bookable through multiple partner programs.

And award prices can swing a lot depending on which one you use.

Ballpark pricing:
• JetBlue TrueBlue: ~60,000–79,000 points (business)
• Qatar Avios: ~78,000 
• Etihad Guest: ~60,000
• JAL Mileage Bank: ~42,000 one way / ~80,000 round trip

Taxes and fees vary a ton too.

Anywhere from about $5 up to ~$400, and that higher number usually shows up when London is involved.

Now the sneaky part.

The best way I’ve found to check Mint award availability is to search on United first just to confirm the seat exists.

Once you find the Mint flight on United, don’t book it through United (they’ll usually charge way more for the same flight). 

Use it as confirmation the seat is there, then transfer your points to the program that makes the most sense (JetBlue, Etihad, Qatar, or JAL) and book it there for fewer points.

One important note.

Qatar won’t show these online.
You have to call to book: 1-800-988-6128.

Heres how to search step by step using United:

1. Go to United.com and log in
2. Click “Book with miles”
3. Search one way (it’s usually easier)
4. Put in your route (example: Boston → Amsterdam)
5. Pick a date you want business class and search

This can take some manual work, especially if you don’t know what days Mint is operating to that city. 

If you want to speed it up, a tool like FlightConnections can help narrow down the routes/dates.

Hope this breakdown helped. 

Make sure to save this post so you have it ready when its time to book.

TSA PreCheck is effectively paused because of the partial government shutdown.

That means a lot more people are about to funnel into the regular security lines.

Expect airports to feel slower.
And messier.
Especially at peak times.

If you’re flying soon.

Get to the airport  earlier than you normally would.

Pack like you don’t have PreCheck (assume standard screening rules).

Turn on flight + gate notifications.

Check your airport’s live security wait times before you leave.

This will unfortunately last longer than the last one.

Be like Pam.

Use your points while they still have value.

Make memories, don't hoard points.

I just logged off a LinkedIn ads masterclass where Moby showed us his exact playbook on how he's helping companies grow using LinkedIn ads.
Here are my top 5 takeaways. 

1) LinkedIn ads are more expensive but theres a good reason.
Compared to Meta ads, you’re paying a premium for something Meta can’t match, enriched targeting with job titles and companies.

2) There are two sweet spots he uses
Company size: target 11 – 1,000 employees.
Once you go above that, you’re drifting into enterprise and the sales cycle slows way down.
Audience size: aim for 25,000 – 80,000 people.
Below that → your ads get pricey because you’re too narrow
Above that → frequency drops and the same people won’t see you enough to become familiar

3) The big question, can you define your ICP by job titles?
If you can clearly target by job title, LinkedIn ads can be a weapon.
If you can’t, it might be better to stick with meta ads.

4) There's been a shift in how companies run ads.
More and more companies are running ads through real people (founders, execs, subject matter experts) using thought leadership content.
These tend to earn clicks cheaper than ads run through the company page.

5) Thought leader ads are a gem but still need structure.
Your posts should be useful, relevant and include a clear CTA.
And one simple warning, don’t use the Boost button.
You lose control over costs and visibility into who’s actually seeing them.

Moby knows what he's talking about, so hit him up if you have any LinkedIn ads questions.

People ask me all the time whens my next trip. Most of the time, I have no idea.
Because I shop deals, like this $8k one for only $6. 

Yesterday in the newsletter I broke one down.

Right now, Chase has a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin.
So 100,000 Chase points → 140,000 Virgin points.

And the second I saw that, I started digging to see what was actually bookable.

Virgin has a ton of partners and SkyTeam access, so you’ll see options like KLM, Delta, SAS, Korean Air, and more.

For Virgin’s own flights, the easiest way to find award space is their reward seat checker.

Just google "reward seat checker"

You can find solid point prices into London Heathrow.

If you’re flying Virgin, I’d mostly be looking out of Boston or JFK since that’s where their newer planes tend to show up.

But here’s the catch with Virgin redemptions.

The points price can look amazing but the taxes and fees are high. 
Sometimes $500+.

Something like Upper Class for 38,000 Virgin points can be tempting.
With the 40% Chase bonus, you’d only need about 27,000 Chase points to get there.

If you don’t want to get hit with $500+ in fees, and you’re okay paying a bit more in points stop looking at Virgin flights into London.

Start looking at Virgin partner awards.

Like SAS to Europe, with routes from the US to Copenhagen.
Taxes and fees are way more reasonable.

So even if the points cost is a little higher than Virgin on paper, you’re not lighting money on fire with surcharges.

Here's the deal I found.

Cash price was almost $8,000.
But with the 40% Chase transfer bonus, you could do.
Boston → Copenhagen (business class) for about 43,000 Chase points + ~$6 in taxes/fees.

This is a cleaner Europe business class play
Solid redemption value
Small out of pocket cost
You avoid the Virgin fees problem

The only rule is flexibility.

Not every day will have award space. 
You’re always at the mercy of what dates airlines release.

But if the days line up and you’re flexible on routing, this is one of the simplest ways to get to Europe in business without burning a ton of miles or cash.
